THE IDEALIST

Recently l overheard an intensely inter
esting conversation between a young man
who appeared TO be in the middle twenties
and AN older man, whom l later found TO be
an eminent business man of Il large Eastern
city.
The younger man was plainly Respondent
and was freely unloading this spirit upon
his elder companion His progress, he said
had been far behind the hopes and anticipa-
tions Of early youth.
II was with a sort of disgust at the Young
mans rawlings that the merchant in a few
trite words laid down a simple campaign
for him TO follow.

Highest Expression of Penroseism

THE highest expression of Penroseism in
i Pennsylvania is the Organization which
has been impeding and hampering the devel-
opment of the city for so long that 1t has
come to be accepted by citizens, who do not
realize what a pack of cards it is, as Phila-
delphia institution. There is no apologist
for this machine except among its beneficial
ries Indeed, ordinary citizens elsewhere are
SO satisfied with simple Americanism that
they would rdcule the idea of substituting
for it in Washington the trickery and loot
which so often in Philadelphia have gone by
the name of government. After an experience
with mild form of Penroseism in Wash
ington the nation repudated it utterly. 1t
will not now take any part in a conspiracy
to revive the political system Penroseism
connotes. Pennsylvania recover her
prestige and political influence or she can
cut herself off from her sister states by LASH
ing herself once more to a sinking and rotten

hammer to the new artist with the new
message As an English critic has written
In music, IN literature, in the conduct of
life, our fathers used to build the tombs of
the prophets whom their fathers had stoned.
Now, even IL a stone is picked up, It drops
from the haf-hearted fingers of the critic,
who does not know whether in a few days
he will not have become disciple.
Too hasty too violent criticism has turned
aside many a sensitive artist from the
complishment of great things. 1t has never
deferred the "bounder." The creative life
of society depends on never ending expert
ment. 1t must not be stilled; it must not be
hampered. Accept or reject but do either
with consideration That is what the critics
have learned.

in A SPIRIT OF HUMOR
The Point of View

The days are getting short and dark, and
winter time is near,
The optimist is filled with glee and joy and
goodly cheer;
He does not have to swat the fly nor NOW
the weedy lawn,
And he may sleep in peacefulness' for
'skeeters now are gone.
But ah! the peevish pessimist is quivering
with ire,
He must arise at o'clock to fix the furnace
fire;
He has to shovel snow and fit the doors with
weather strip,
And live in deadly terror of the little bugs
of grippe.
He hates the work he has to do, the cold he
does despise,
That thrills the optimistic whom it's merely
exercise.

sALEsCIRL PLEADS FOR CONSIDERATION

To the Editor OF the EUorinD Ledger.
Sir-I am a saleslady in of the largest
department stores in this city, and noticing
that you publish letters in your paper, would
like to draw your attention to a certain matter
I think that most salesgrls will agree with
when l say that the thoughtless attitude
of women purchasers is making life very hard
for u.s. These women treat us as IL we vera
some piece of machinery, ordering us to show
them article after article, when 1t is quite
obvious that they have not the slightest lnten-
ton of purchasing anything. Combined with
this thoughtless attitude is a good deal of in-
civility. Why cannot be more polite
and kindly toward working girls? A kindly or
appreciative word would greatly tighten the
days ask, and would surely cost the woman
buyer but little.
