COL House, Who Speaks
With a Straight Tongue

Charles Willis Thompson In the Philadel-
phia Ledger.
Why would it not be a good idea to be-
gin taking Col. Edward NJ. Hou at his
word? There is this to be said in v
OF the idea, that, revolutionary as 1t is.
persons who lave tried 1t nave never gone
wrong.
Some newspaper commentators, how
ever. will by no mean accept such an
tdiotically straightforward and simple
way out of their troubles: and whenever
Colonel House reappears on the surface
OF affairs after a long dive under them
these commentators insist on viewing his
statements through a glass darkly.
Colonel House does not lie to newspaper
men. which is a fact not universally true
of persons in the public eye. He is given
to Withholding information from them,
but on the rare occasions when he lets
q line or two dribble out the line is cor
rect. He has uttered perhaps as many as
u sentences for publication in the last
i've years. 1t is not a large number. but
mere was not a lie In any of them.
His Judgment Of Value.
Colonel House has been visiting the men
1t the helm OF war, and he has reported
to President Wilson everything that he
thought the president needed to know.
That much is certain. because when he

assumption that he had gone there as a
special presidential envoy to talk peace
wa pure guesswork. Evidently he was
not going to conf1ne himself to cunversa-
ton about the weather when he saw AS
quith. Lloyd-George. Kitchener, Poincare,
Delcasse, Vtviani. Won Jagow, Bethmann-
aollwig and Zimmerman, all OF whom he
did see. Certainly he was going to talk
about the war and communicate with the
president about it: probably he was going
to tell those whom he visited things that
the president had told him, or ask them
questions. the answers to which he would
send to the president. What phase of the
wal was he going to talk to them about?
Why. peace; and on that stately guess the
whole theory was erected, and has grown
into such an article of faith tina Colonel
Houses rather heated denials can not dis
turb 1T. Yet there are several other sides
of the war concerning which the president
might desire either to get or to give infor-
nation.
His Words Are Golden.
Colonel House is a man whose words
are few. n when he does consent to
drop one 1t is worth its weight in gold:
not only because he tells the truth, but
because his judgment and insight are very
great. 1t was the perception of this fact
that u the president to him. The
president relies more on his judgment than
on anyone else's. because he has found 1t
always right; and with this keen judg-
ment and insight goes a wonderfully clari-
flying power of statement and an imper-

Shows Boys City Life.
From Farm and Fireside


IF you want your boy to stay with
you on the farm, her don't keep him
there! Take him to the city. Don't let
him grow up imagining that city life is
a strange world of opportunity and
splendor from which he has been
barred. Don't be discouraged IL he
wants to go to the city to work. Find
him a desirable job. Don't expect him
to believe that the farm is the best
place for him to live until he finds 1t
out for himself. Our boys are not
made that a If it is a fact, as we
believe, that the farm is the best
place, then you can trust the boy to
discover it finally.
But be sure that the boy takes with
him to h city a complete. UNI
prejudiced conception of what farm
life may mean to him. When he is a
mere child, let him go with you about
the farm work. Make it pleasant for
him. Happy associations with the
farm at this time will stay with him
through life.
Hire him as a child to help you do
the farm work. 1t will make him in
dustrious and also reveal to him that
farm life is a paying occupation.
ASK for his advice until he is able
to give 1T. This will make him self
reliant and prepare him to bear re-
sp%onsibility.
Let him have a calf to raise, or a
field to plant to potatoes or popcorn.
Boys want something going on"
