LIS FATAL FAsCINATTON.

Homer. Rodeheaver. the almost ire
sistible young man who so readily
drew smiles OF appreciation and ad-
miration from the chOruses in Billy
Sundays meetings. wherever the base
ball evangelist happened to be, has
come TO grief through the very quail
tiles which made him 50 popular and
successful as choir master.
The Establishment Of his smile and
his charming affinity FOR the fair sex
have proved a liability instead OF an
their influence on the heart OF a
maiden coupled with indiscretions of
speech on the part OF the choir master
shall separate him from twenty thous-
and OF his hard earned dollars. We
do Mr.. Rodeheaver the credit 10 say
that saturated with the adulation of
susceptible hearts ne did not realize
how Tar he was going when he kissed
and caressed the lovely stenographer
and discussed with her the subjects OF
matrimony and the perpetuation of
the race.
Nor. in his state OF mind. presuma-
bly, due 10 the adulation mentioned.
IL is likely he was capable OF distin-
gushing between mere agement
and a solemn obligation 20 marry. but
that is where he and the court and
jury differed. and hence the verdict
fer twenty thousand. In this particu-
lar also his mind and the mind OF the
object OF his convenient love and af-
lection did not use the same pro-
eesses. or. at least. did not reach the
same conclusions hence the appeal TO
the law which threatens 10 so seri-
ously deplete Mr.. Rodeheaver's cash
balance.
When coupled with love and ro-
nance mere law and money appear
in all their sordidness. II is almost
shocking 20 think that any young wo-
msn could be satisfied with twenty
thousand dollars in lieu OF the charm
ing Mr. Rodeheaver. but when the
sentimental things OF life fail ia we
human beings are prone 10 fall back
on the material things and as the

The stars in their courses seem TO be
fighting against the married man. 1t
appears that he is now to be discrim-
mated against on the ground that he
is certain to impart trade secrets TO
his wife, who, as we all know, is
equally certain to impart them in her
own peculiar ways to the world at
large.
The latest employer TO join this un-
holy league against the married man,
and thus TO increase the natural perils
OF his position, is Sir Thomas Upton.
His only chance to win the America
cup is to preserve inviOlable secrecy
as to the design of his new yacht, and
he is therefore rigid in his decision
that only bachelors need apply for
work in his yard.
Another impenitent offender in this
respect is Lord Kitchener, who not
only refuses 20 have any married man
on his staff in time of war but who
promptly removes any officer guilty OF
matrimony during active service. 1t
seems therefore, that the old charge
against women of inability to keep a
secret must be enlarged. Not only are
they themselves incapable of keeping
a secret. but they decline TO allow
their husbands TO do so.-San Fran
cisco Argonaut.

VILLA AND DAVID.

To liken Gen. Villa to David, of
Biblical celebrity would probably
shock most religious folk. but a
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald sees many points in common.
He thinks people are prone to over
look the rough and irregular char
acter of David before age had toned
him down and turned the guerilla
chieftain into a poet and religiOnist.
If villa is ruthless in the destruction
Of the Huertaistas, David was equally
cold blooded in his dealings with the
Philistines, says our writer. He thinks
also that if David was capable of as
great Improvement as was shown by
his subsequent life, there is room for
Villa to develop a very respectable
kind of craftsmanship. This is an
odd variant of the many diverse
views that are taken Of the bandit
leader@Chicago Record-Herald

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

Watson and Cannon are synonymous.
The vote of 4,119,507 for Theodore
Roosevelt was vote of solid progress
sive conviction. The vote of 6,293, dig
for Woodrow Wilson was a vote of
progressively inclined men, some of
them partisan, and others of them
looking upon Wilson as the candidate
with the better chance of election, and
therefore the better chance of fulfill
ing in part, if not altogether, their
desire for complete separation or gov
eminent and the special interests so
ably defended by gentlemen OF the
Penrose type.
Set against the total of 1O,412, 526
for these two men the remaining A.
624,016 votes, of which Mr.. Taft re-
ceived only 3,4S4,956. 1t is assumable
that the smaller parties that polled the
million and a half votes of the minor
ity were also progressively inclined
as distinguished from the type of
government for which Mr.. Taft stood
sponsor. Thus more than 100000
of the 10000 600 voters who expressed
themselves at the polls in 1912 voted
for candidates that represented the
antithesis of standpattism.
1t is curious, in the light Of the
nationwide protest that went up I'M
availingly for four years against the
course of Mr.. Taft, and in the further
light of the effectual protest register
ed at the polls, that the gentlemen
who were so thoroughly rejected, and
whose conceptions of politics were so
signally rebUked, should not be able at
this day after a reasonable time has
elapsed to see that their names and
their careers in public life are inSep-
arabic from the very things that the
people do not want and will not have
again.
The tone of the country is progress
sive: the convictions of the country
are progressive. The time for a con-
centration of bossism, if ever the need
for il existed, has gone. Progressive
ism. in the sense of a desire to avoid
the perils OF political machination
such as the people saw at its zenith in
the lamented Taft administration, has
come to stay. The present leaders of
the republican party, by their rejection
of all efforts to make their party pro-
greSsfVe in the national committee
conference last December, and by the
return of men like Penrose, Foraker,
Cannon, Watson and Barnes to emil
nence and direction show their blind
ness to the political faith of the times
The country has passed beyond
their MISUNDERSTANDING Star.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The retirement Of Will j. Davis
from the theatrical business after a
successful career covering forty years
Is illustrative Of the folly OF any man
tieing himself up permanently TO a
job with which he is not contented
and which does not seem 10 be the
thing he ought TO do, simply because
he happened 10 start out that way.
This does not mean that man
should be jumping from one place TO
another like a flea and with no more
apparent reason. but that ne should
never be content with what he Is do
ing II ne can do something better. 1t
means that a mans various positions
in life should be stepping stones TO the
goal higher up. and that II doesn't
make much difference what a man
does, If IL IS honest. Just so in the end
il Is the best thing he can do.
VIII ]. Davis was an Elkhart boy.
We believe he originated on a farm.
Most men who achieve distinction do.
At any rate he did a number OF
things before he was thirty years
old. among others working Tor the
Lake Shore railroad. Almost every
body in Elkhart used TO do that. but
other means of making a livelihood
have come TO many or them since. In
those days a job with the Lake Shore
was usually regarded as a life SEN
tence. but Davis didn't think he de-
served II. so he had ii committed.
He fell in with some theatrical peo-
pie. and once he got his feet inside
their door he stayed. 1t was the work
he had been looking for all the time.
the job he was made for. The rail-
road had simply given him transpor-
tation TO IL. And that. in addition 10
bringing him business success, gave
him one Of the greatest happinesses OF
his life, a woman whose memory is
sweet all over this broad land, Jessie
Bartlett Davis. who became his wife
and bore him the son who now sue
ceeds him in business
Mr.. Davis has married again since
the death OF the great cOntralto. and
he and his wife will divide their time
between Chicago city and a big stock
farm down in this state. The son will
manage his fathers theater, the Illi-
nois. ana the father will enjoy the OPP
portunity for more leisurely pursuits
which he has earned.
SO here we have man who FUN
bled around in the dark, consulted the
guideboards and inquired his way I'M
I'll he was thirty before he found IL.
and no one will maintain IL was not
better for him 10 keep on looking
around instead Of settling down as
one Of the fixtures in the equipment
Of railroad, where he said his chief
Irritation was seeing the relatives of
officials going by on their way to bet
ter positions than he occupied.
The late Glenn Studebaker was in
the habit OF saying that he had no use
for contented young man, and when
he found one in his office he always
tried 10 replace him with a discon-
tented one. The latter would try to
work himself into a better place. The
former would stay where he was put
and rapidly succumb 20 dry rot That
is the practical lesson OF Will ].
DAVIS career.

les. that which has been boosted by
these boosting campaigns has been
the wealth and incomes OF the priv
ileged and the cost OF living Of the
poor
Very rarely has it been the chance
Of the chap in the ranks for better
pursuit Of happiness.
The mere addition Of factories and
Of workers in town doesn't Of itself
mean an advantage to the community.
1t may mean that or IL may not.
What a city needs more than more
workshops and more population is
more justice, more fair play more
real downright. working democracy.
1t doesn't help a town TO bring in a
thousand more people If they are sim
ply to add 10 the congestion Of it's
slums. We have accomplished mere
size. in our city building and neglect
ed due attention to quality, beauty,
convenience ard comfort.
A million dollar fund for better
schools. better homes. fairer taxes.
finer and more democratic parks,
lower carfares, cheaper light, heat and
power. more clean pleasure for all
the people, would DE worth boosting
for.
We're not afraid that that kind OF
boosting won't come; it's already well
sprouted in spots.
When it does come generally ii will
put the old-style form of boosting to
| blush.

WILD BIRDS AND UNSETTLED
LAW

a curious anomaly has arisen in
connection with the praisewOrthy ef-
fort of congress to protect wild BIRDS
against the various species OF the hui
man game hog. The Lacey act, passed
in response 10 a national demand, i'm
poses certain restrictions on hunters
within the states, the theory OF this
statute being that the commerce
clause Of the federal constitution ap-
plies to migratory birds, whom no
particular state can claim as perma-
nent assets.
The law has been attacked in the
courts, and while one district judge,
sitting at Jonesboro, Ark, has denied
its validity. another federal judge, at
Sioux Falls, s. D., has sustained it.
What is the effect of this judicial
conflict? This-that in the Arkansas
district the federal act is suspended.
and the game hog is free to shoot and
kill wild birds. song birds and crop
saving insect-eaters, while IN the dis
trict where the law has been upheld,
or in the district where ii has not been
passed on, IL may be enforced as strict
ly and fully as congressional appropri-
atoms for the purpose may permit.
Clearly, this is an absurd situation.
Do we have as many countries as
there are federal districts? The SUI
preme court is the only tribunal that
decides constitutional questions Tor
the whole United States. Such ques-
lions, then, ought 10 be promptly GER
titled 10 il, but pending its authorl-
tative and final decision laws should
be either enforced throughout the
country or suspended throughout the
country. We want plenty OF home
rule. but district rule i'm vitalizing or
chloroforming laws OF congress Of ma
tional scope is little short of farcieal.
