SELECTING DIPLOMATS

It ts not a pleasing experience te say
 the least which the administration is
 having with its newly appointed dip
 loraats. Because of the payment of political debts in accordance with toe long established precedents each new administration finds 1t necessary to make housekeeping in the diplomatic corps with the result that inexperience instead of experience can be expected to prvail at a great many of the posts.
 Such has been we'll illustrated by the uneasfness which was caused by the speech of Ambassador Page in London. who while he may not have said al. that was attributed ts him, or intended it in a different way from that in which It was taken, created an awkward and embarrassing situation, which would have been avoided by 8 diplomat who had received his appointment through his qualifications and training Much the same is to be said of the actions of Minister VssSie}ka to the Balkan states whose talk at Bucharest and Sofa was of such a character as to create bad impressions and result in ths schsas yeeins called to the atten- flDnte<e eAaeaAeHa ftRaeat -ees state -waich

CONSTANTLY SLIPPING.

Within the recent past there have been expressions from leaders of the progressive party in an endeaVor to rally the forces that the organization is going on with undiminished deter imitation, vigor and confidence. not withstanding the fact that there is dis satisfaction with the present adminiS- tration and their course simply means the keeping of it in power. That all is not so rosy from within is con stantly being revealed. There is a steady return to the republican party, for the devotion of their influence to the assistance of the party whose principles and accomplishments have had so much to do with the country's advancement
 From different sections of the coun- try the strengthening of the republi- can forces is to be noted. South Da- kota, the strongest kind of 8 progress sive stronghold, has just been heard from and there the RooseveItian sen ator has been turned aside by an over helmfng vote for the regular republi- can candidate at the primary, who car rfed the rest of the ticket with him. This indicates a telling reversal of opinion. in a hotbed of progressiveism. In Maine while the progressive state convention was underway a nearby city was electing a republican mayor and other officials after being under progressive treatment for the past year. In California there are strong indications of the shrinkage of pro- gressive strength The get-together spirit is abroad in West Virginia and it is steadily going on in Connecticut It is undou btedly true as Matthew Hale said in giving Up his Bull Moose paper in Boston, the progressive party is re- quiring much more attention

Do not expect too much of a friend. Do not think it is the duty of a friend to stand by you when you feel so shakey that it is with difficulty you can keep up a front for yourself, Friendship involves honor-bUt one of the hardest things it does is to stand by one in dishonor. Bear in mind that all we think our friends owe us in the way of behavior or fidelity we owe to them. Real friend ship is a true balance; and anything else parading in its name is really a sacrifice. What kind of friendship is it that involves one in shame in be- half of another, or is forever an in- creasing burden. In the name of friendship too much is expected and too little returned. A friend does everything to help us to the joys of life and to avoid it's miseries.

Me seldom think of heroism being

We seldom think of heroism being every persons stunt, for it is a quality which is both praised and rewarded, infreQuently: and it is quite likely the truest heroism gets neither praise nor reward. It takes heroism for a person to be true to his honest convictions. It costs a great deal in sacrifice and endeaVor to be true to ones self. Life seems to be made up of just one vile concession after another. Every time we get cowardly we walk on our hearts convictions. We dare do this because the heart makes no outcry. We do not consider that the price of being dishonest with ourselves is to lose our own self respect. Did you ever know any one who never dared do wrong when the spirit prompted to righteousness If you ever have you have been acquainted with one of the most heroic souls of your age. It is this heroism that creates the ster- ling manhood which knows no such word as sneak.

Some people smile when you talk about the dignity of iabor-the dignity of being industrious and useful-for they have failed to discern that the working classes make every life of leisure possible and lend all the se- curity there is to government. The multimillionaire can love his wife and children, eat three EQuare- meals a day and play games in the evening with his children, and SD can the common est laborer. Work gives the laboreI good health, a good appetite ana a good digestion, all of which leisure tends to destroy. Simple living, high thinking and a noble purpose make for character, the foundation of true dignity. Conceit masquerades too often in good clothes as dignity, but 1t is too thin to pass. Dignity is not a pretence but dependence, and the working classes are it.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It was Lord Chesterfield who said,
 "a gentleman is never in a hurry" and
 we have noticed that a loafer is never
 in a hurry either, so this is dis
 tinguishing quality if two classes or
 citizens who in other commendible
 qualities are far apart. But when you
 come to think of it, repose is not lazi-
 ness CT Iaziness repose,-these are not
 even distant relatives. It is said the
 truest mark of power Is repose- It
 takes a great man to be gentleman
 if all great men are not gentle-men
 In material life the sun is the greatest
 power-in devout life the spirft-both
 produce marvellous works in the gen
 tlest way-they are never noisy. Where
 there is buster there is always weak
 ness A loud noise signalizes ineffi-
 ciency, The man of power does not
 have to hurry-he is sure.
 What do you think of the man or
 woman who stands up and faces an
 American audience with the assertion
 that "a livable home cannot be main tained for less than S2,500 a year,
 when not more than ten persons in a hundred thousand command such a salary The average income in this country is less than SIP a week, about
 s512 a year; and there is not nation of more "livable homes on the face of the earth. When snobbishness and ignorance get to the front nothing is to De expected put the prOOucI1On Ol d comedy. Not one in fifty of the so- called middle class make $2,50O year, but they average the most comfortable homes to be found in any country There is no place on the public ros- trom for the wild-idead class. They think they are talking sense when they are talking only nonsense.
 l should not like to be a professional reformer. It is not soft snap to venture to lead follxs in the direction they are not over anxious to go Knowing my own faults l should lack 1 confidence in my ability to influence others to correct theirs.

BARONESS TESTIFIES IN
SECRET; SHOWS LETTERS
Two Notes From Paint Maker
Exhibited in $780,
900 Love Suit.

Reporters got a look yesterday at the
Baroness Ursula Barbara Kalinowski OF
Wiesbaden. Germany. who wants $1,000
600 from Michael ]. Hurley. st. Louis
paint manufacturer. for damaged afyec-
tons, but that was all. Her attorney,
George f. Fleming. hurried her out Ct tho
offices Of McCombs. Ryan & Gordon, 50
Broadway. where the first hearing In the
Baronesss suit was held all day yester-
day. and would not let her explain how
her affections could be damaged 30 much.
Not word. not word" cried Mr..
Fleming as he hurried the Baroness into
the elevator. The Baroness herself
seemed somewhat perturbed at the pub
licty which her suit has caused, but was
not nearly as excited as the lawyer.
Fear Of publicity caused the examlna-
tlon OF the Baroness to be transferred
from Commissioner Gilchrist's office to
the office OF McCombs. Ryan * Gordon.
The Baroness's attorney openly charged
that W. Chrystie Bryan of st. Louis, at
torney for Hurley, was responsible for the
publicity given TO the suit in spite OF the
fact that events which occur In the public
courts are supposed to be public.
The hearing was to give tho Baroness
an opportunity TO show cause for the
action. She demands 100000 for ex-
penses incidental to her search for Hurley
hotel costs; $4,000 for trousseau,
$4,000 for clothing. $4,000 for incidental
expenses and s2,i00,000 for her wounded
feelings.
She was TO produce yesterday reams Of
letters. kilograms and other documents
which would tend to show that Hurley had
asked her to marry him. She brought
only two letters. one OF which was
formal regret that Hurley could not dine
with her. The other was written when
the Baroness and Hurley were ON more
friendly terms, but one OF the men who
was allowed Into the hearing said 1t con-
tanned no indication that Hurley planned
to marry the Baroness.
The Baroness swore that she Is not
quite 81 years old. What news was al
lowed to trickle out from the hearing was
that she had not produced any evidence
except her own verbal testimony that Hur-
ley had asked her 20 marry him. Her
100000 expense account for one summer
was not backed up by vouchers.
'Has Hurley got s2,500.000 In case he
loses the suit?" Mr.. Bryan was asked.
"He denies the soft impeachment" said
Mr.. Bryan.
