THE DECADENCE
OF MANNERS.

We rush through life in such hur-
ry these days that there is little time
or thought for the refnemeHts and
courtesies that in the good old days
of our grandparents were considered
necessary to good manners.
The man or woman who has really
good manners, nowadays, We distIn-
guish as being of the 'old school,
Unfortunately the "old school" is
passing away, and there is no new
school to take its place.
We seem to be drifting into the
idea that good manners are a rath-
er bOresome and indefnable some
thing in the way of an affectation
which we may put on with our best
clothes for weddings, parties and
other such affairs, but not to be car
ried about with us on ordinary occa-
sions. We have cut it out of BUSINESS
hours. We have come TO regard
common courtesy as a time consumer
and a waste.
Rapid communications have cor
rupted good manners, for the speed
with which we can travel or trans
nit news has aroused a nervous i'm
patience of delay which is fatal to
courtesy and manners both in spirit
and form.
We no longer write the good, long,
warm soul-satisfying letters that
were written in the old days. For
merly letters were dignifed and in
teresting, but now they are neither.
We imagine we have no time to write
elegantly and in spirit of impa-
thence we scribble few lines to some
friend when there is no escape from
the painful necessity. And the let
ters( of today show that their writ
ingis task, not pleasure.
/Once upon time it was good man.
Aers to hold old age in reverence,
but it is not so any more. Whatev-
er We may actually feel in the heart,
our attitude toward the old indicates
that instead of regarding them with
reverence We consider age a synonym
for incapacity and boredom. Maybe
we mean all right, but our manners
are such that we must often cause
bitter heartache in the old, who, bred
in a different school, can interpret
our thoughtless inattentions only as
downright disrespect.
1t is an age of ill-manners in both
men and women. Garish vulgarity
taints what is regarded, commonly at
least, as the best society.
So far have we sunk that the man
of genuine courtesy and polish must
balance it with some sort of coarse
ness or be damned as sissy" 1t
may be ill-mannered to say all this,
but the fact, no less than the ILL.,
hammered assertion of it, fits the
times.

THE DEATH KNELL
OF THE SALOON.

OF The SALOON.
In the January issue of The Com
moner, Secretary of State William
Jennings Bryan, referring to the vote
of congress on the national prohibi
ton amendment says:
while the brewers and distiller:
are congratulating themselves That
the prohibition forces could not Sc
cure a two-thirds majority, they are
looking with blanched faces and trem
bling hearts upon the declaration
solemnly made on roll-call, that a
clear majority of the peoples rep
resentatives in congress are arrayet
against rum selling.
"As it only requires majority to
pass laws, the liquor interests see In
the vote on the amendment the be-
ginning of the end of their suprem.
acy. The death knell of the saloon
has been sounded and it is only a
question of a few years when the
business, now made an outlaw, will
be driven from the highways and
forced into the secret places, where,
after a few years more of fugitive
life il will meet its death. From
now on the liquor business can con-
slider itself fugitive from justice
living in constant fear of arrest and
punishment.
MANY who voted for the prohibit
ton amendment were opposed to its
submission at this time, but, when
compelled to vote yes or no. they
preferred to ally themselves with the
temperance forces rather than run
the risk of being counted on the side
of the saloon. Others, who have
fought the liquor interests in their
several states, voted against the sub
mission of the amendment at this
time because they preferred to center
the fight on the states where ii is at
issue rather than to have the attack
scattered over the entire country.
These will be for a national amend
ment whenever they think the time is
ripe for such action and in the mean
time they will redouble their ener-
gies and enter with still more earn
estness into the state contests against
the liquor interests. The temper
ance element will not deal harshly
with the man who voted NO" pro-
vided he is in the forefront of the
battle in his state, but woe unto the
man who pleads state rights"
against national prohibition and then
allies himself with the liquor inter.
ests in his state. He will find il
difficult to convince his constituents
against the exercise of national au'
thority on the subject expressed his
real reason for voting No

THE AMERICAN
FLAG ABROAD .

Many an American tourist, when
contemplating shipping in foreign
ports, has been struck by the almost
total absence of the American flag.
No matter how many ships there
might be crowding the harbor, load
ing or unloading freight, it was a
rare sight to see an American ship
flying the Stars and Stripes. Hence
arose the cry for subsidies in order
that Americans might successfully
compete with foreign ship owners for
the commerce of the world.
But, somehow. all the attempts TO
stimulate American ship building
went astray, for each year showed
a diminishing number of American
ships in foreign trade in proportion
to the trade to be had.
But within the last few months
nearly 100 ships have been added to
the American merchant marine, rep.
resenting more than 100000 tons
This is more tonnage than has beer
added in the last Is years-nearly as
much as was lost during the war be.
tween the states, when the Confeder'
ate cruiser Alabama had the Ameri

Now this addition has come about
BY simply admitting to American reg

no difference in ownership; Ameri
cans owned them before-the sam'
Americans own them now. Ameri
can navigation laws simply have made
