The principal celebrants in 1.-The bloody
SPREE as Professor Herrick entities the

speak of their regret that Americas sor-
row seems mitigated with an eagerness to
profit by the debauch.
Sympathy with this emotion is easily at
hand. The spectacle of Uncle Sam hold

pretty one: and were it not for the suspi-
cion that he is himself paying too liber-
ally for the obscene c%arousal of his neigh

m~ercenary attitude.
But there is one benefit that We are de-
irving from the trouble without debas-
ing ourselves and perhaps without dis
pleasing the combatants. Every day that
the war lasts and every day that the
newspapers publish news and comment
about it the average American is taking
otherwise he would not possess.
The educational value of the war to a
people specifically versed in European af-
fairs is stupendous. Events in the dis
tracted territories send newspapers read
ers foraging for the lark booty of the cy-
clopedias. and the bookshops and libraries
are Invested of hitherto neglected volumes
about the men and nations OF Europe.

From Golfers Weekly,


A woman has just told us of what she
did the night her young husband found
himself bankrupt. His factory was closed,
he had lost all he owned-plus a good deal
more-and, as he 0oked at It, life was
about at an end. He reflected that he
had taken his wife from a happy and
charming home. and, that he had brought
disgrace and poverty On her. 1t occurred
to him that a we'll placed bullet might be
the best all-rOund solution of his diff
culties. His wife, at home. made a poig-
nam surmise as to what he was thinking.
Suddenly it occurred to her hat here was

made her home as inviting as she could,
and she arrayed herself in her most be-

to q d~isheveled n sObbing woman, to a

but to a home where everything spoke of
revolution. of continuity. Of expectation.
The fire on his hearth. his simple. well

attractive wife. restored him to q true
sense Of values. He was able. amid all
his confusion of purpose and torment of

WORKERS IN POLITICS. - With
workers greatly in the majority in
Chicago, why is it no workingman is
mayor of Chicago? Answer-Be-
cause the workers wouldn't vote for
him. Too many of 'em WORK at
their work and PLAY at their poll
tics. 1t may be they get tired of be-
ing wOrkmen and like to be polite
ians as recreation. It's hard enough
work being workingmen while they
are at work. When the whistle blows
they want to do something else. It's
like bUcking faro or roulette. It's
the other fellows game. And those
who play it generally lose in the long
run The percentage is against 'em.
People like to wear ribbons and
badges-or party tags, labels and
uniforms. They used to wear oil
cloth capes and caps and carry
torches Democrats and Repub-
leans. Just as other. men wear
plumes in their hats and carry swords
they never use. Some chaUffeurs
wear ivery-a badge of seTvitude.
Housemaids wear apron and cap-sO
guests will know they don't belong
to the family, but are servants. Wait
ers, too, wear unifoTms-so guests
might not make a mistake and take
them for lOafers-Or gentlemen.
When a man lets himself be tagged
as a Democrat or Republican, he
wears a mental unifOrm-just as
much a badge of servitude as the
maids cap and apron and the chauf-

Obeys orders. He is marked
TAKEN and laid to one side. The
kicker, the insurgent - well, the
bosses pay some attention to him.
Pat him on the back and get him in
line. Politics is about the only sport
left that men think they can afford
to play. But most of 'em are only
pawns in the game, and don't know
it. Watch how the bosses split EN-
up this spring. Some will be labeled
Democrats, some Republicans, others
Socialists they'll butt their
brains out butting each others heads.
Some of 'em will boiler their heads
off for a candidate who will let po-
icemen beat 'em up after election.
What's the answer?

BEEF TRUST

BEEF IRUSI NEO KALI . 7 -
Shortly after the war broke out Og-
den Armour, head of the beef trust,
ignored President Wilson's neutrality
proclamation and was in a thunder
ing big hurry to sympathize with
England. He wrote his London rep
resentative to hurry and notify the
British government that it had our
sympathy-meaning the beef trust.
Probably Og thought that would get
his beef safely past the British war
ships. But alas and alack, the allies
are now holding up Chicago meat
shipments, and ALI Urion, lawyer for
the beef trust, is in England as am
bassador extraordinary for Armour,
Swift ct al. And all he wants is for
Johnny Bull to keep his hands OF
Chicago beef. President Wilson
might let the beef trust get itself out
of this particular hole without Uncle
Sam butting in. 20 aH
