OUR IDEALS OF FRIENDSHIP

In the September Woman's Home
Companion Anne Bryan Mccall writ
ing Towen Room Talk, entitled
Our Ideal of Friendship says in part.
One of the most common stan.
dards that we employ requires that
our friends shall always and without
fail approve of us.
But now hear what Emerson says
OF friendship. He is not setting down
any personal ideal, mind you, but a
very high and general one. He SAYS:
A friend is one who makes us be
our best
Too often We want our friends
to be not their best but what we in.
dividually would prefer them to he
sometimes We want them to be a
mere repetition or shadow of our.
selves. thinking as We do, believing
as We do; and frequently enough we
delight in cheating ourselves, in pre-.
tending that they are what they are

A NEW BRANCH OF

We are told that the dance craze

frenzy. There are reasons for be-
lieving that the mania Is not work

responded so readily to its syncopat-

other wave of social diversion has

One that is inevitable here is the
addition to the socially elect. There
has undoubtedly come into existence
a dancing aristocracy. The ability TO

THE USE OF A
TYPEW RITTER

Tho news from the summer capitai
,.o,oo that President Wilson person
ally writes his extensive correspond
once with Secretary Lansing on MS
own typewriting machine, which MI
Wilson evidently uses extensively. IL
Ia quite unusual to see man OF hiSh
position operating his own typewrit'
er.
The older generation of literary
workers and newspaper people USED
To admit that a typewriter might DO
tn hurry off some article for instant
use. But they wanted to do their
best work, with clear working IDEAS
nothing could take the place OF the
intimate flow of thought between
lead pencil and a pad of paper.
Among the younger writer's, many
thousands have made the typewritins
machine a willing and swift servant
They save infinite nervous strain,
writer's cramp, and double production
Many business men will say that
when President Wilson hammers out
his own letter. he is spending the
most responsible and highly paid
time at a task that a stenographer at
SO per week could perform. they
feel that every business man should
learn to dictate letters fluntly.
There are a good many easy tax
ers who find pleasure in the act OF
debating. The presence of a stem
ographer may even stimulate mental
faculties Of such persons, and st!ll
sources of eloquence and facile eX-
preston But for the average bust
ness man. thoughts never flow so
freely as In solitude, unencumbered
or unembarassed by the personality
of a secretary.
For a host of such men, familiarity
with the typewriter keyboard would
be invaluable. Pen and pencil would
then seem as awkward and antlQuat
ed as hand press in the modern
printing office. School and college
courses are crowded, but much time
that is being spent on intricate lab
oratory work might well be given to

INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT"

The protest uttered by Senator
Root in the New York constitutional
convention, against the so called in
visible government of cliques and
bosses, will find hearty echo among
men of all parties. But 1t is one
thing to denounce machines, and an
other thing to wipe them out without
creating new bosses equally PERM
cious.
The battle between the bosses and
the average voter Is always case
Of the professional against the anna
teur. The boss is represented as a
Car, tyrant who compels the peo-
pie to bow to his will. Nothing could
be further from the truth. The boss
gains his power and reaps his advan-
tage from his skill in forecasting
popular desires and adapting himself
to popular will.
The slightest shift in popular feel
ing is known to the bosses before the
voters are conscious of It themselves.
The network of listening ears hears
the rustic of wind in the remotest
tree tops. II the people want a GER
tain reform and are determined to
have 1t they can always get 1t.
The public are easily diverted by
side issues. Opinions are taken
ready made from skilful cultivators Of
sentiment who have private interests
to serve. Many are swayed by RAJ
cial and social ties. II their particu-
lar element in the community has not
secured its share of the offices, the
rascals must be turned out. The mo-
ment a man thinks his own pocket is
touched he goes up in the air.
The boss plays on these currents
of human feelings as the musician
plays on his organ. He uses threats
rarely, but appeals to prejudice and
personal interest.
Good political methods, like safe
guards about electing. nominating,
and legislative machinery, can help
these conditions. But the only per-
manent remedy is intelligent study
Of political history, local, state and
national, from day to day. The man
who takes one or more unprecedented
and reliable newspapers, and reads
the political news carefully, is rare
ly subject to boss manipulation

better fate. It will lie in the scrap
heap beside the plank which pledged
the party to the development of u

than does the plank which promised
national aid in the construction OF
post roads.
What there is left of 1t, 1t Is sor-

another chance at it.. Though 1t was
