Good Manners Help.

A merchant who returned from Eng

Portrait Of a Youno Man,

Behold our hero lying stretched out
on the soft upholstery of a couch at
his club. No attitude Of more COM
plete relaxation could be found; II
there were one, he would find it. On
a table at his side stands his whisky
and soda, and at just the right dis
lance to give the most grateful warmth
crackles a wood fire. Outside, the
keen air has the frosty tang of midwin-
ter, and the north wind sweeps
along, cleansing heaven and earth. In
side the clubhouse the air is warm and
heavy with tobacco. Our hero yawns
and moves one silken ankle the frac-
ton OF an inch. He lights a cigarette
and drops the glowing match on the
carpet because 1t is too much work to
reach over to the ash tray. Still he
does reach almost as far to pick up his
whisky and soda.-Collier's Weekly.

Let the TRUTH PreVailg
Right Leadership

In his inaugural address, President SuZZallO of the
University Of Washington has furnished citizens all
over the state and nation with food for thought.
In his efficient, clear exposition, he has placed a
crown OF glory upon labor, without being the least
demagogic.
He pleads for efficient leadership but does not
sorting to the cries of the ngo for he pleads for
supremacy that America may serve mankind
He pleads for efficient leadership but does not
deny the voice of the people.
His analysis of the right sort of leadership should
be an inspiration to the people of democracy such
as ours, called upon at frequent intervals to choose
leaders.
IF our politicians are not sound no promises they
make will ever be good said Suzzalo For this rea-
son. personalities frequently become more important
than political issues. If we are wise people we
shall look twice at the moral character of the leaders
we follow and thrice at own reasons for choosing
them"
DIR. Suzzallo has, indeed, touched upon vital
thought Political issues are often manufactured for
temporary purposes-to catch votes
But mems characters are not made in the hurry of
a political campaign. If mans character is sound,
he will not be ''pork barrel statesman. And DR..
Suzzallo rightfully asks:
"How can we be satisfied with ourselves so long as
we perceive the daily spectacle of men in high gov
ernmental station trading out the public welfare for
personal patronage, local advantage and party sue
cess7"
Right, honest leadership truly needs it
leadership that will not be fettered by blind partisan
ship.

1t Is Some Hurry

Although Gen. Pershing's troops made 40 miles
IN AZ hours, Washington wired Funston to have
Pershing hurry the hunt for Villa.
In fact, Pershng has given Mexico one of the fin
est demonstrations of hurry on record
Mexico is the country of tomorrow, nohlnry,
take-your-time. You don't run through Mexico S
sandy deserts. You don't go through but around
her hills and her immense beds af cacti. You don't
tear across fine bridges but you wade her rivers in
sand knee-deep You don't carry chains to keep
you from skidding, in Mexico but you carry panks
to get you out of the stang places.
Ii Villa knows anything about Pershing's pro-
gress, he ought to be badly scared. Pershing must
appear to the bandit positively the swiftest thing
that got after him.
And, indeed, speed is the vital thing. The Villa
hunt is largely race for water and meat.

USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

II you want to keep your hair
In good condition, be careful
what you wash It with.
Most soaps and prepared sham

This dries the scalp, makes the

sreaseless), Is much better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for sham

"Sir Walter Raleigh would turn over in his grave,
If he could see how men refuse to offer women seats
in street cars says Mrs. E. B. Haserot of Cleve-
land, president of Mothers Congress.
Doggoned if we aren't good and sick of having that
Raleigh incident pulled out of history on us to make
lis out systematically impote and ungallant! Why
did Walter put his cloak over that mud-puddle?
Why, we ask? Was it because he wanted to be extra
polite toward his queen! Was it done in spirit of
gallantry! Did he fear for her health, should she
get her feet wet?
No sir! No stree! He did it because she appoint
ed pOstmasters and tax assessors, because she had
national treasury at her command because she could
bestOw crosses OF honor and titles and estates with
one hand tied behind her. That's why!
Does history tell of Sir Walters working 10
straight hours and then giving up his seat to a large
healthy woman who has four hired girls and never
worked 10 minutes in her life? 1t does not. Does
history tell about Sir Walters Selling and hanging
internal strap for10 miles in order that some
miscellaneous female may ride 10 rods, sitting? 1t
does not.
Huh! he spread his cloak over that puddle for rich
beauteous powerful queen Had she been an ordin-
AIRY street female, he would have seen her wade
through that puddle chin-deep before he'd think of
unbuttoning his cloak.
That old Raleigh needn't turn over in his grave on
account We guess that had it been case Of seat
not seat in street car, he d have looked the wom
an over just close y as any modern man does and
If he found she was no queen, he'd have performed
the adhesive plaster movie act in that street car.
