HERO WORSHIP TOO COMMON
Absurd Failing Which Seems to Have
Remarkable Hold on Majority
of Mankind.

Americans. like most other people,
are disposed to do a moderate amount
of hero worshiping. One phase OF It,
saws the Kansas City Star, is the re-
spectful hearing given on all subjects
to a man who has made a success in
some one line. II O man is highly sue
cessful in manufacturing tooth
brushes we assume that he knows all
about art and science.
There is Smith," we say. He is
q phenomenal maker Of socks. He
can turn them out at the rate OF To-
600 pairs q minute. He is getting rich
by his ability to make socks 80 rap
idly without dropping stitches IN
them. Besides, 1t is said the socks
really wear well. That being the case,
what do you suppose he thinks about
the ethics of that Chicago baby case.
Let US get his opinion as to the de
STABILITY of encouraging the modern
schools of art. We surely must ask
him what to do about typhoid vacct-
nation. When does he think the war
will end?"
O1 COURSE 0ulLu may AONO A8NO
given any attention to these subjects.
He may have been so busy D~erfectfng
the machine for speeding up without
dropping stitches that he may have
no ideas whatever on the European
war or the immortality Of the soul or
the higher criticism Of the Bible or
the advisability OF m~asticating oneB
food thoroughly, OF the relative ad-
vantages Of Corot and Troyon as paint
erg.
Still, we write him letters and ask
him his views. Unless he Is . very
remarkable man he takes the qHea-
tons seriously, is immensely fiattered
by them, and by and by comes to
think that having been successful in
making socks he must be equally sue
cessful in every other line Of human
endeavor.
OF course, If he falls for this sort
Of thing, in time he is bound to make
some perfectly fool statement. When
he does this, we r all as likely as
not to turn and rend him for being
an ass, when the original trouble was
with those Of us who insisted ON his
qualifying as an expert on subjects
that he knew nothing about.

m Journalism

Steps have been taken by the au-
thorities of the British museum to Sc
cure as complete q collection as pos
sible OF the regimental periodicals,
the production Of which is one Of
the curious features of the present
war. Some Of these publications arc
printed and others typewriter. They
are not quite without analogy in the
history of past wars. The British who
were besieged at Mafeking during the
Boer war contrived to keep going q
little journal issued daily, Shells per-
hitting" In the wars Of about a CEN
fury ago Lord Exmouth, while carry
ing out q blockade of French ports,
had a printing press set up for the
amusement Of officers and men en-
gagged in that tedious duty. They did
not attempt to produce any original
records or literary matter of their
own, but they printed several consid-
cradle works, and printed them, it is
said, very well.

Encouraging news for Democrats
comes from the Washington end of the
line. A feeling Of security pervadAs
the atmosphere around the National
capital in Democratic circles and the
concensus of opinion is that President
Wilson will sweep the country next
November, regardless of whom the
Republicans may agree upon to op-
rose him. And the personal popular
1ty Of the President in harmony with
his matchIess record as the Nations
Chief Executive, Hs accounted as suf1-
cient to return a Democratic majority
to the House of Representatives.
Where uncertainty hi anxiety ex-
listed a few weeks ago, hope and con-
ftdence is in evidence at the present
time. The difficulty experienced by
the opposition in making a choice for
their presidential candidate has great.
ly heartened the Democrats, who now
feel that victory is safe and sure.
The able manner in which the pres
ent Democratic administration has
preserved the peace and prevented the
menace of a vainglorious, unneces-
Sary and ~inexcusable mix-up in the
great tragedy that is being enacted on,
and which belongs to, the Eastern
hemisphere, and accomplished it with
National honor, has also greatly en-
HANGED the prospects of Mr.. Wilson
and his party associates this year.
Indeed; it was Woodrow Wilson who
coined the slogan America First" and
no prominence given "Americanism"
a. Chicago a Grace that fact.
The Democracy, under the leader
ship of President Wilson, has wrought
well and the people know 1T. With
such a record of achievement, that
has PLACED the country On a better
tusinses basis than it has aver been
before, there seems little reason to
doubt that the affairs of the Republic
VII remain in the hands of Woodrow
Wilson and his capable advisors for
four more years

FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Worlds Markets Supplied With oatsS
Which Are Grown on Spot Be-
IleVed TO BE the Site.

The London markets and stalls are
covered with dates which come from
the Garden of Eden.
A palm tree yields approximately
400 pounds Of fruit annually, which
represents an income Of about S&&sA
takes nearly eight years to attain this
state of perfection, but when once
reached, it continues for almost Q
century.
Dates can be prepared I'm many
ways, and are packed according to the
country to which they are being sent.
For instance, dates destined for
America are hand-picked, as the Amer
leans will have no others; the Indians
like them sun-dried; while we like
them wet" Our dates r prepared
in a special manner-they are piled
on mating and trampled into a mass.
The date is not the only product of
the palm. The stem furnishes a kind
of timber, and the 1bers, twisted, be-
come rope. Then. again, the buds are
quite fit to eat, and are considered by
some to be a delicacy; and peasants,
too poor to afford a house, weave the
fronds into mating, and SO make
quite q serviceable habitatfon. Crushed
date-stones form food for the CATTLE

Brahms rhapsody acceptable to the
average audience and hold their close

extraordinary in the performance.
