Jacob Riis wrote wonderful letters
full of gaiety and humor and the phil
osophy of life" says The Survey "And
he never spared himself in writing
Often because of the drain on his
strength, he was urged not to handle
them all, but he used 20 clear his desk
every day.
Courage, practical suggestion, enthus-
iasm-whether to a group of college
boys, or a civic league in some out-of-
the-way village, or a railroad president
with a social outlook these were the
things he sent.
AT memorial service in Plymouth
church last month, Mr.. Riis' son told of
a young immigrant who had written
asking for funds with which 10 get TO
the middle west He was stranded at
the seaboard. Mr.. Riis put it up to him
TO walk; il was summer and he was
young. The lad wrote back in anger,
saying he had heard what stuff philan.
thropists are made of, only to get an
inimitable letter from Mr.. Riis telling
of his own experiences in striking out
for the west when he himself was an
American in the making.
He did not give offence. he did not
take il. He entered into the boys scheme
Of life. and let the youth enter-wide-
into that OF his own. Whether the

Louisiana's Sugar Revolt.

of the Republicans to the great industry

ity came, and Louisiana managed to
get along" somehow. The damage in
f1icted by the Republicans was as moth
ing compared with the blow Louisiana
received in the house of its friends.
Louisiana had felt duty bound to labor
and pray for 10 weary years for the
coming of Democratic national admin
stration The Democratic national adj
ministration came and brought free sug

worked its ruin. From its mood of bit
ter rumination has issued a movement
intended to punish the Democratic ad-
ministration and to break that solidity
of the South which is the great asset of
the Democracy.
The form which the revolt has taken
is characteristic of community which

sugar district, now represented by Sen

termination to support the Progressive |

Year Of Literary Distinction.

The centenary Of the publication OF
''Waverly" prompted a correspondent
Of the London Chronicle to discuss the
most wonderful year in English ntera-
ture. He himself declared for 1850,
and challenged any one to beat it
Here is its record: In 1850 Dickens
gave England David Copperfeld," and
Thackeray published "Pendennis; a."
Kingsley completed the novels with

SOME THINGS
and OTHER THINGS

The results of last Tuesdays election
indicate that there has been something
radically wrong with the county's polit-
zeal carburator, the local spark plug did
not spark, the radiator did not radiate,
and the boss engine was generally on
the blink. Usually the Ellis county
democratic machine runs smoothly, but
we have to report that the automobile
has been junked and will take at least
two years of hard work done by skilful
workmen to get the 1914 model so it will
run and make a reasonable showing
on the 1917 roads. If we read the pro-
test of last Tuesday correctly, it says:
mot quite so much autocracy, please,
but little more political and industrial
democracy" It said also, to one and
all, ''no party whip can drive US to the
polls and make US vote against our best
judgment and wishes" Once more the
American spirit has shown its indie
pendence.
The people have quit throwing polit
ital fits these days and are letting the
big bosses have the fits, drink the salt
water, eat the crow and snuff the party
red pepper. Say boys, that old crow is
mighty tough, and the salt water has
the briny tears of many years in it, and
we are sure the red pepper has all the
fire in it that is needed to send you out
hunting for a job like the most of US
ordinary mortals. Be game, and learn
to be good looser, and the people will
appreciate you; be crouch and your
name will forever be Denis.
1t has always been a strange thing to
me that the American people have not
been more profoundly moved by the ex-
preston, German Culture" which has
been before US for the last twenty
years. IF we are to believe what is
said of US by the Tueton nation. We
Americans are poor, ignorant, dense,
inane and Grass. It is true that we have
more money, more of our children are
in schools, more state educational insti-
buttons per population, more years re-
quired IN the intermediate schools, and
less drinking and carousing than in Ger
many, but we are three hundred years
behind to hear the German tell it. This
is so hard to understand, for when the
German comes to America, he seems to
be just good, ordinary, not above the
average man found in our country.
Well, it may be that the atmosphere
has a deletereous effect on him on
reaching this land for he seems to be
so much like other folk. Then we were
informed that he would be able to con-

We like the ''2 in II politicians; men
who have national ardor joined to $50
cial welfare" after the election as well
as before. The man who was lately
running for Office, who was so everlast-
ingly attentive and lovingly affection
ate, and almost Rugged you in his dis
interested affection, and to-day gives
you the "stony stare was fakir last
week, and now is his true self this week.
Mark him well when he appears in the
race two years from now, for he viii
come to you with that same homemade
smile" and ''glad hand Remember
to give such a punch as you did this
election, for he is after the spoils rather
than to render the state the full need
of service.

quer the whole world in ashort time,
but we notice that when he meets any
thing like equal numbers in the present
European conflict his showing, man for
man, is not any better than the allies.
We wonder if the German lego" has
not been abnoramally stimulated in the
last few years. To use medical term,
has not Germany a bad case of auto
intoxication, causing her to see things
rather than having "an edge" on the
the rest of the world.

There are three friends in this world
for each of US. The man who loves US,
the man who hates US, and the man who
is Indifferent to US. The man who loves
US will teach US gentleness. The man
who hates US will teach US to be eau
tious. The man who is Indifferent to
US, will teach US to have more self re-
lance. These friends rightly used Will
do much to develope our character.
