For the first time in the two years OF
mis- administration Pres't Wilson has
sought the aid Of the progressives in
the senate.
Deadiocked by the obstructive tao
ties OF O'Gorman. Hitchcock ard
Reed. the president found his shipping
bill hOpelessly halted. His only
chance apparently 10 get this legisla-
ton was TO cross the party line and
get help from those Of the other
parties sympathetic with his purpose.
He called in Kenyon and La Toilette
and asked what could be done TO get
their support With that of Cummins,
Norris. Clapp and Poindexter. He was
told that he might expect help if he
would eliminate from his bill the sug-
gestion that government purchased
ships must eventually be turned back
to private companies whether gov
eminent operation should prove sue
cessful or otherwise. and secondly
that the spending Of the money for
ships must be placed in other hands
than those of his cabinet officers.
II is too early vet TO say what will
be the outcome Of these efforts The
suggestions. however, are not with
out merit. If government line is
good in time. of adversely. why not
always-to ward off adversely?

THE MERCHANT AND HIS
CREDITS

4 travelling salesman was remark
ing the other day that he had sold
the usual quantity of goods the past
few months. in spite OF the war and
other depressing causes But ne had
found many of his customers hard
up because of the unusual number of
requests for credit. III was his opin-
ion that in both good and bad times
the American people are getting in
too easy going habits about payment
OF bills
II is not always the hard pressed
workingman or short time who
lodges the bin collector the most ac-
lively. Many of the well TO do are
habitually slow pay They make re
quests for further accommodatiOn
with the air of comforting "a iordly
favor.

other misfortune asks for "a bill OF
gooas on trust. Il is often practically
"a request for charity The merchant
fails 10 see why ne should carry the
whole burden OF the community :

whole trade the expense OF bad debts

CHILDREN DEMOCRATIC.

Editor News Tines
Will you permit me to correct an
impression which may have been
made by a brief article in your issue
of last Sunday?
The writer OF the article-which
was called Moved to Envy'-depict-
ed an incident in connection with a
department of our public schools.
cannot believe that the visit of a
group of kindergarten children to the
home of one of their number furnish
ed the occasion for the article; but
what could have been the reason for
writing 1T l do not know. I have
studied child nature and have worked
with children in the Slums and among
the well-to-do for nearly 20 years
and out of my experience ] can
unhesitatingly assert that children Of
kindergarten age are so thoroughly
democratic in spirit that they main
tain the most charmingly friendly re-
lationS with one another, and that
they are absolutely unconscious Of tbs
class distinctions which separate their
elders If the children of whom your
correspondent wrote exhibited an
adult attitude toward the rich child
who had the Christmas tree then it
must have been because they had
overheard adult criticism.
If this was the case. il is much to
be regretted, for there is nothing more
pathetic in all the world than the
changes which some children's con-
cepts are made to undergo to make
them conform TO the artificial STAN
dards of the persons about them.
/ wish all those that are unfamil-
lar with the kindergarten would visit
a class and see for themselves the
spirit that is engendered and fostered
there. They would find. as member
Of the same group, rich and poor,
black and white foreign and home
bOrn-all sharing one another's eX7
periences and belongings with joyous,
natural simplicity.
/ believe il is Jane Adams who says
that the kindergarten is one of Amer
ica's best agencies for unifying and
leveling her mixed population place
where the foreign child enters as into
a little republic, learns good English
and first comes 70 understand what
il means TO be ALI for each and each
for all"
assure YOU that l do not know
who wrote the article or what hia
motive in writing 1t may have BEEN
and that / know nothing Of the Incl
dent 10 which he refers: but I do know
child nature. and / know also the con-
secrated. intelligent work that is being
done in the kindergartens Of our pub
lie schools. This prompts me to
write this letter and ask that YOU give
il place in your columns.
Yours respectfully,
MRS. ALMA o. WARE,
Supervisor OF Kindergartens in the
South Bend Public Schools.

Statesmen Real
and Near.
BY Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-GeOrge r.
Smith, member of congress from
Minneapolis, is a striking double of
Billy Burns. the detective He has
Burns's face, wavy hair. size, and the
same winning, ebullient personality.
A while ago Smith CHANGED to drop
i'm at a hotel barber shop in Wash
ington for the purpose of getting his
hair trimmed. He got into the chair
nearest the door, placed his order.
and leaned back comfortably to await
developments. The barber was look
ing at him intently
After the barber had shipped off a
good deal of Smiths hair. he re-
marked. in a half-confdential tone:
You're Detective Burns, aren't
you?"
"Oh. yes" laughed Smith, land"
he added I'm dead on to you, too"
Then the talk turned into other
channels.
Three weeks later. Smith who is an
exceptionally -groomed person,
again wished 10 have his hair
trimmed. and remembering that the
last barber attending him had been
skilled workman, went 10 the same
shop. The man in the first chair,
however, was a new one.
Where's the fellow who used to
work at this chair" inquired the con-
gresham.
Don't know" replied the boss bar
Der. He left town about three weeks
ago"
Smith may have been intended for
"a detective, at that. When he first
began the practice of law in Min
neapolis he was extremely stern in
cross examining witnesses, always
hoping to bring up some unexpected
tact from beneath the surface. Once
he was trying a case having TO do
with the settlement Of an estate. A
witness was giving a list Of the prop
erty on the old farm. This included
10 head of cattle.
How many did you milk asked
Smith.
And Why didn't you milk them
alp"
Because" replied the witness,
"one was not no cow
Smith had another case in the early
DAYS in which he defended a young
man for practicing pharmacy without
a license His client was acquitted
but the foreman of the jury, in hand
ing out the verdict, added: I'VE feel
that We should enjOin the defendant
never 10 do it again
Daniel j. Riordan represents one OF
the New York city districts in con-
gress. His district is peculiar in that
everybody agrees thoroughly with
everybody else on one point to wit.
that the main province of a congress
man is 20 obtain suitable jobs for his
constituents.
A few days ago one of RiOrdan's
constituents called at the office which
Riordan makes his headquarters when
in New York.
where's Riordan?" inquired the
caller.
He's down in Washington" was
the reply
"In Washington. hey" repeated the
caller. Indignantly. What the devils
he dom there? Why don't he stick
here on the job and look after his
people,
Rep Henry Barnhart OF Indiana
dropped into a small town in the
northern part Of the lit'ry state TO
make speech. He saw a crowd run
ming up the street and inquired of a
native:
Fire"
.'Nup." answered the native. there
amt any fire I don't think. We das-
sent have a fire this week"
Why" asked Barnhart.
THE fire boys are having their
uniforms cleaned"
