EVER NOTICE 1T?

A very distinguished suffra gist
makes the sharp-pOinted observation
that the devil is a man." Come TO
think about it, the devil is represented
as a man. and a man with a mustache
and goatee. at that, and we'd like to
have il explained.
In his first earthly appearance, we
are told. the devil was in the form
of a serpent In order to carry out
his hellish purposes, he thought best
to assume human form. Eve was
very kind TO him. and so he adopted
poor old helpless. impotent Adams
form. This is the explanation given
by some folks. Satan's reasons for
adopting the mustache-goatee effect
rather than a full beard behind which
he could have hidden all facial ex-
preston have never been given. How
ever. since his strong cards were to
be temptation and deceit, it would
seem that his best rolicy would have
been to adopt the form OF woman
with a full beard
1t is a fact that all nations of all
times have been satisfied with the
devil as represented by man. The
villainous gods have always been men.
The great masses of angels pictured by
the masters are females and when the
man is occasionally given a chance as
an angel. a sword or something else
devilish is put in his hand.
Beauty. grace, spirituality, science
and art are always represented by the
female form. and plenty OF il, while
anything in the line OF brutal pro-
clivities or character is depicted by a
man. Among the multitudes Of ideals
OF the devil there's not one but con-
ceives Of him as a man Mind YOU,
We're not kicking about this arrange
ment but. in these days of growing
equal rights. we're simply hungry for
reasons for its being so.

MAN AND MACHINE.

'Unskilled labor is mere animated
machinery. Prof. Stevenson.
This is the Rockefeller view, and
false because unskilled labor has a
body that can suffer, a brain that can
think and a soul that can aspire. None
OF these have machinery. Unskined
labor often progresses. adds 10 itself.
Machinery continually goes back,
wears out.
To treat an unskilled workman as
n mere animated machine does not
necessarily make him such. But YOU
can never treat a machine as any
thing save a machine.
There is no limit 10 the possibilities
in unskilled labor. The possibilities
in a machine are fixed from the day it
Is set up.
Indeed. in these days OF the high
pressure Of efficiency il Will bother
anybody to define "unskilled labor"
There's a certain skill in digging a
ditch. or in wheeling dirt. coal or
ore. or in milking a COW, or in carry
ing railroad ties or rails. or in sweep
ing a street, and in many other things
thai an accomplished college profess
sor, or machinist. or engineer, or
architect cannot skillfully do
But the big employers OF labor
have got up their own definition OF
"unskilled labor" created a class Of
laborers IN this class they put all
cheap labor. ignorant foreigners" So
called. all these laborers who come
cheaper than machinery. and for
them they set "A daily wage that is

TREASoNARIIE TRADE.

The French government threatens
to cancel contracts made with Amer
lean manufacturers because the goods
delivered are so much below sample,
and there is an announcement from
Paris that of the % American houses
with which the French have been do
ing business only one has always de-
livered up TO sample.
There's nothing new about this
scandal. The L. s. government has
always been the victim of similar ras-
cality. More than one Union soldier
in our Civil war was killed by the
rascality Of army contractors. while
the practice of cheating Uncle Sam
in times of peace is notorious. 1t is
reasonable, but it goes.
We know of no way in which the
L. S. government can protect the
French against such crOokedness. The
latter's only relief lies in doing busi-
ness elsewhere, if they can. With an
opportunity to bag the worlds trade,
an international reputation for crook
edness is a nice thing for America.

LAWN TENNIS \ sIssFTED GAME

A recent remark quoted from Rev.
Billy Sunday was to the effect that
lawn tennis is little too "sissihed' a
game to please him. If Billy were to
start in playing it this spring, he
might soon find himself more winded
than he ever got on the ball field.
Lawn tennis constantly grows in
popularity, owing 10 It's adaptability
10 limited spaces. 1t requires no cost
~ grounds. running into the thousands
or tens of thousands. like golf The
ordinary suburban back yard is apt to
be big enough. While a good court
may cost a hundred or two dollars or
more. an inexpensive layout can be
had for much less. So although it
used to be called the dude game a"
it has the qualities of very demo-
cratic sport.
The real objection 10 lawn tennis is
quite the opposite to that stated by
Billy Sunday. 1t is SO very active that
few men play it after they have
reached middle age. The long rallies,
when ball is kept seesawing back
and forth over the net into different
corners of the court. will run the
breath out of any but a man who is
well in training.
1t is more fatiguing than running
on a straight track would be. The
player must first sprint in one direc-
ton, then pull himself up. recover
balance and run back again. The
irregular and intense activity calls for
a high degree of nervous control and
muscular endurance.
No game is more practical for phys
ical development of young people
Played in groups of two, three or
four people, it calls for no elaborate
machinery or organization. The ath-
letic candidates that are disheartened
by rejection from a school or college
ball team, can resort to the tennis
court. and get a better physical de-
velopment than they would have Sc
cured on the diamond. In most schools

SUBMARINES LONG JOURNEY.


When the British battleships Tri-
umph and Majestic were torpedoed by
German submarine, U-51, in the
Dardanelles, wonder was expressed by
good many American papers as to
how the boat reached Turkish waters.
the general understanding being that
these vessels cannot carry supplies for
long voyages, and the German under
sea craft would find no safe harbor in
the 5000 miles between its home port
and Constantinople.
The theory was advanced that this
boat and, perhaps, others OF its kind,
had been shipped in parts by rail, and
TO the ''landlubber," who did not know
whether or not a submarine could be
so transported or whether railroad
facilities existed, or whether shops or
yards could be found at CONSTANT
nOple or therea bouts where il could be
put together, the explanation seemed
plausible enough trifle vague, TO be
sure. but not more so than many other
matters connected with the war
1t now appears that the U-51 did go
by the long water route. y correspond
ent of the Chicago News has inter-
viewed the captain of the U-51 at
ConstantinOple who told him that the
trip was comparatively uneventful.
Extra supplies were taken on board

England the boat was fired on once
by a British destroyer and was under
fire several times as it approached
Gibraltar. During most of the jour
ney il travelled on the surface, and
was in plain sight as il went through
the strait of Gibraltar, yet it attract
ed no attention. In the Mediterranean
il dived frequently to escape watchful
French ships, but had no mishaps and
arrived at the Dardanelles in exactly
one month from the time of starting.
The British ships, which were firing
on the Turkish forts, were surrounded
by a fleet of destrOyers which con-
stantly circled about to protect them,
but the submarine watched its chance
and finally found opportunity for its
fatal shots. After the second ship had
been destroyed the U-51 remained
submerged for several hours. then
came TO the surface to find that all
the British ships had disappeared.
When the submarine arrived at Con-
stantinople it's officers and crew had
passed 4 > DAYS on board without rest
or change. The German captain tells
his story very simply and as If he
had done nothing out of the common,
but his achievement certainly sets a
pace for submarines and is one OF the
remarkable incidents of the war.

SPEAKING OF MEXICo.

Americans. like everybody else, are
prone TO judge other peoples by Amer

do not pursue the American ideal of

able indeed.
1t is true that many thousands of
the people OF Mexico at present are
very miserable in an intensely human
way, but they have been and are ca
pable of being happy in Mexican
Way-a way that would not appeal to
Americans at all. Their present mis-
cries, one cOnjectures, are due in large
measure To the infusion of the Amer
lean spirit into a number OF powerful
Mexican families. For the cientifico

man born into a Mexican home and
environment He is a cOngenltal
hustler despite his parentage and ma
tionality He wants to develop the
resources of the country" He wants
to see everybody at work and enjoy
ing life according TO his somewhat
warped notion of enjoyment
Naturally, Jose of the contempla-

mate where generous nature provides
for almost every human need, per-
haps even Americans would choose
the easier way.
These are considerations that all
those who seek to redeem Mexico
should not overlook.
