any self respecting paper. even
though the inuendo be disguised as a

Fair play is a jewel. The partisan
press OF this country is much too
prone to give heed 10 aspersions on
the character of men occupying high
public positions. ignoring the fact that
in the eyes of other nations, the Of

DISCOURTESIES OF DAILY LIFE

as tireSOme TO have the attention dl-
verted from the play by loudly-whis-
pered comments as by the continual
crunching of sweets or fidgeting of
someone in the vicinity.
A woman who is untidily or care
lessly dressed is quite as rude as a
man without a collar. He would
never dream of going out without
something round his throat, yet she
will appear in public with a divorce
in the region of the waist, a few but
tons and hooks missing, her hair
bundled up anyhow. and her shoes
down at the heel. Not only is she
exceedingly unattractive, but she is
being actually discourteous to the folk
who are obliged to look at her.
1t is usually either nervousness or
thoughtlessness that prompts a wom-
an to display her worst side to the
world. She will take a seat that is
offered TO her in a crowded car with
out a word Of thanks, or else will
make the chivalrous person feel still
more embarrassed by a quick and en-
phatic refusal to profit by his gener-
osity.
or perhaps she will rush through
swing-door without bothering to no
tice if anyone is likely to be caught in
the rebound, elbow people who are in
her way, walk on the wrong side of
the street, or fail to rememb Der that
she must always bow first to her male
acquaintance before they raise their
hats. This last little ceremony is I'M
usually mutual, and on no account
must a cut be administered direct un-
less an acquaintance has done some
thing really objectionable to justify
such a step. Even the coolest and
most distant inclination of the head
is better than ignoring someone COM
plotely.
Consideration for others and a de-
sire to be incOnspicuOus always mark
the well-bred person in public. 1t is
still more important that in the home
this consideration should not be push
ed aside like an irksOme duty. It is
a mistake to encourage Indifferent
manners towards those who are Ii ged
with day after day. 1t is iast as
much trouble to be rude as TO re pO-
lite. AMI intimacy in the home should
not be made the peg on which TO hang
countless petty chickering's and little
errors in good manners.

The money is not for any new pro

There are millions of acres OF des-
ert and other millions that have too
much water. Some day, we will have
sense enough TO make those unruly
rivers pour millions of dollars into
our pockets. Water. like fire. is a
good servant but a poor master. We

LAMBASTING amusements is a
popular occupation with reformers.
Our idea is that these reformers are
not sufficiently discriminating and
that they are inclined to overlook the
good in amusements. It is the abuse
and not the use of amusements that
makes the harm. If we get the
thought that the good things of earth
were placed here for our use. not our
abuse, and stick by that, the intem-

Statesmen Real
and Near.
By Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON. Feb. flames G.
McReynolds. associate justice Of the
supreme court OF the United States,
has his library and workshop in a
hotel room.
The fact is not extraordinary. for
Justice McReynolds is bachelor
and naturally lives at hotel. So why
should he not take his law books in
hand and do his work right there
But let us pause and consider the
situation:
Did you yourself ever attempt TO do
any serious work in a hotel room?
Let us assume that you were mere
~ trying to write a letter
Before you had completed the first
page is il not a fact that chamber
maid came along the hallway rafting
her keys and trying them in different
doors? And didn't she come in and
leave you a supply of towels? And
did she not putter about the room
just long enough to gum up your
train of thought?
Moreover, was there not in the ad-
joining room either woman telling
about something she had bought, or
a drummer telling of something he
had sold?
And if there was not that, didn't a
plumber come in 10 take cynlcal
look at your radiator?
And did you ever finish your letter?
If so was IL not a shorter letter or
at least a different letter than the
one you started TO write?
Supposing, now, that instead of
letter IL had been a supreme court de-
cision you wre working on-a de-
cision from which there can be no ap-
peal.
McReynolds, of course. is at a good
hotel and has a secretary TO protect
him. Also, people are less likely to
disturb an associate justice of the SUI
preme court than If he were a trav-
cling salesman for a suspender con-
Germ.
Still, even at that, if Jutice Nc
Reynolds were working away in his
hotel room some morning on a de-
cision OF international consequence,
and a chambermaid should come in
TO change the lace curtains or the
counterpane-
And, should stumble off a steplad-
der and upset bucket of soapsuds on
the floor
Thereby upsetting, in turn, the jus
tees train of thought
Wouldn't it be Odd2

Sen Cummins of Iowa. either con-
sciously or unconsciously. likes to be
original. For this reason it is eX-
tremely difficult TO agree with Cum
Minis. According to one Of Cummins'
fellow committeeman, here is what
happens:
Cummins states mis- view on a prop
osition. 1t may be an unusual view
that few men would take. But some
other senator, let US say, speaks up
and says that he is in full accord with
Cummins. He and CumminS seem to
agree precisely Then Cummins quail
iies his attitude, making il more
specific, and going into more details
until the first thing one knows he and
the other senator do not agree at all.
Well suppose, for illustration. that
CumminS remarks some bright, clear
day that he is inclined to think it
may possibly rain before shutdown.
Up speaks another senator and de-
clares that he himself wouldn't be at
all surprised if ii should rain ere
nightfall Then Cummins says that
owing to certain perculiar barOmetric
indications 1t will rain, not only be-
fore shutdown but within three-Quar-
tiers of an hour, and if it goes any
longer than that without rain there
doubtless will be a dry spell lasting a
week
After Cummins has thrS defined
his exact view of the situation the
other senator who looked for rain
doesn't agree with him at all.

Here's Another Conception of Home.

1t is always the merest trifies rather
than the big things of life which indi-
cate the manners and tastes of the
average person. A glazing social err
ror, a particularly rude action or tact
less speech are not made too great
frequency, but other less obtrusive
faults are often committed-som
times solely through ignorance or
want of thought.
1t is Just as grave a mistake TO be
too polite as to be abominably rude.
The painstakingly polite person is very
trying to encounter, for extremes often
meet, and he generally succeeds in
being actually ill-bred. For instance,
there is always the man who. in the
mistaken idea that a woman should
always precede him, allows her to
fight her way first INTO crowded
train, descend unaide1, and walk be-
fore him into a restaurant that is
rather full. He fondly imagines that
he is being ex> edingly polite. and it
is only when the errors of his ways
have been pointed out to him by some
kindly soul that he suddenly realizes
how aggravating he must have proved
to the women he has had the pleasure
OF escorting.
Removing his right glove before
shaking hands with a lady; raising his
hat when he offers a damsel his seat
in a car; carefully plotting his fair
companion across a crowded street;
walking on the outside of the pave
ment. and refraining from sitting
when talking 10 a lady who happens
TO be standing, are all instances of
those little things which mark the
good breeding AID thoughtfulness of
a man. Unfortunately, in some cases.
these things do not come by instinct.

the contemptuous feeling is replaced
by one OF decided irritation. 1t is just

Gubernatorial Aspirants
With Office Resign

In the opinion of Lieutenant
Governor Thomas G. Barrett, Of

election by the people. Mr..
Barrett thinks that there should

campaign now holding office

holding the reigns of an Of

Ruffin G.. Pleasant, candi-

he is too poor to give up the of

Louisiana; he states that Tom
Barrett can resign and still get

TWO CANDIDATES FOR
HEAD OF CONVENTION
Mayor Behrman and Exon
gresham Brazeale Seek
Presidency of Convention

MayorBehrman may be a
candidate for president of the
constitutional convention. The
announcement was made last
week, by close friends of the
New Orlaens Mayor and is IN
response to urgent letters OF
solicitation from some of the
most prominent country dele
gates elect to the convention.
Mr.. Behrman has not definite
ly given his consent to the
movement, but the impression
prevails that he will do SO.
Coming on the heels of the
announcement of the eandi-
dacy of former Congressman
Phanor Brazeale of Natchi-
toches, the announcement on
the part of the friends of May
or Behrman is of the keenest
political interest. Mr.. Bra
zeale announced his candi-
dacy at New Orleans after con-
sulting a number of friends.
In political circles his old init
macy with x-Goyernor Jared
Sanders Immediately was re-
called. Then came the boast
of one of the lieutenants of
Col. R. G. Pleasant that Bra
zeale was their candidate and
stood pledged not to become
candidate for Governor. This
recalled a remark of ex-Gov-
ernor Sanders, made some
time back that "Brazeale is
the man we ought to run for
Governor Among political
gossips the cumulative evil
dence made of Brazeale the
Sanders-Pleasant candidate
for president.
The development of Mayor
Behrman as a candidate, with
strong country support, af-
fords the basis for political
developments of a most inter-
esting character.
