Prudence Before Principle.

''The character which Mr.. W has
attempted to act in the world is q
sort of nondescribable chameleon
colored thing called prudence. 1t is,
in many, cases, a substitute for prin-
ciple, and is mo- nearly allied by ,hy-
pocrisy that 1t easily slides into it..
His genius for prudence furnished
him in this instance with an expe-
dient that served, as is the natural
and general nature of expedients, to
diminish the embarrassments Of the
moment and multiply them after
ward.
"a man versed in the bubbles Of
the law may find way to cheat some
other party without that party being
able to take the law of him. But
when this is attempted on the nation
al scale it is too despicable to be de-
Tended. The injury which Mr.. VS.
administration has done to the char
acter as well as to the commerce of
America is too great to be repaired
by him. In what a fraudulent light
must Mr.. VS. character appear to
the world when his declarations and
his conduct are compared together.

Ten Thousand a Week.

Charlie Chaplin, it is announced,
has signed contract with a film
!. company to act for the movies at a
salary of something over ha'f mil
lion dollars year-s520.0Vo. to he
exact-in addition to which he has
received bonus of $150,00O in re-
turn for making the agreement. The
moving picture people who have cap
tured him feel that they are very,
very lucky and they are celebrating
their victory joyously. For weeks
Charlie has been in New York auc-
tioning himself off to the rival bid
ders who were after him and his stay
there has been q constant round of
royal entertainments. It will be
hard, doubtless, for him to come back
3 te the simple life after the winning
and dining to which he has been sub
jected. His vast audience is calling
him, however, and there are signs Of
impatience which he will hardly be
able to ignore. The people will do
without Shakespeare and never muir
mur, but unless there is a fresh
Chaplin caper at least once q week
dangerous discontents are. bound to
burst forth.
How rapidly do. we progress In
49,
some directions! Only few years ago
we plumed, ourselves on the money we
spent on baseball players. Why some
OF them, I'VE Dragged, sold for as much
as twenty-fye or thirty thousand
dollars, and their salaries were as
high as ten thousand dollars a year!
Only the other day there were boast
{ ings Of the fifty and sixty thousand
dollars year paid to. the great art
lists who draw the daily comics for
the papers. How pitifully small such
wages now seem. It is really a
shame that these geniuses should re-
ceive such slight encouragement.
I Chaplin has not been SO ill advised
as they. He knows his worth and
while half million a year for the
foremost slapstick comedian 'of his
time may be short of the mark, it is
at least respectable.
The news of what Charlie has ac-
complished will be blazoned through
out the land, and the people will re-
sjoice. OF course if any lawyer OF
doctor or preacher or butcher or
grocer should devise scheme for
cleaning up such a ''pile" in a
years time he would at once be
denounced as a dangerous citizen;
but with Chaplin the case is differ
ent. Those who believe the story of
Charles new contract will maintain
at all hazards that he is worth what
ever he gets. Doesn't he make the
people laugh? The rest will at least
get a laugh out of the story. They
think they know "press agent stuff
when they see it.-News and Courier.

Traitor to His Friends.

ttIt has for some time been known
by those who know him that Mr.. W
has no friendships; that he is incapa-
BILE of forming any; he can serve or
desert man, or a cause, with consti-
tutional Indifference; and it is the
cold hermaphrodite faculty that i'm
posed itself upon the world, and was
credited for while for prudence,
moderation and impartiality. Being
now once more abroad, I began to
find that I was not the only one who
had conceived an unfavorable opinion
of Mr.. W; it was evident that his
character was on the decline as well
among Americans as among foreign
ers of different nations.
Among other things which / con-
fess I do not understand is the proc
lamation of neutrality. When the
profession of neutrality on the part
of America was answered by hostili-
ties on the part of Britain, the object
and intention of that neutrality ex-
listed no longer; and to maintain it
after this was not only to encourage
further insults and depreciation, but
was an informal breach of neutrality.
That the government of England
considered the American government
as pusillanimous is evident from in
creasing insolence of conduct.

DEBATE But No JUDLES'
Winner Between Penn And Parsons
Teams Not Announced.

PENIS dual debates with Parsons
College were held last evening, the
Penn negative trio meeting the az
firmative group at rem Chapel before
well filled chapel at Fairfield. The
local debate was no judge debate, be-
ing the first of thu kind ever held
here, The establishment of the new
system was anonLintentionaL for Penn
had secured three competent judges,
but the M. & st. l.. train that was
three hours late, did not permit the
arrival of two of the men. Debates
are becoming more and more the Gus
tom through the east, where no judges
pass a decision in regard to arguments
presented Penn was unable TO obtain
substitutes to fill the places of the
absent men, so the new plan was in
Iaugurated.
The officials secured by the Quaker
school to decide the local debate
were-Charles M. Adams. superinten'
dent of public schools at Brooklyn,
who was the one Judge able to reach
this city; Prof. w. l.. Bailey. of Grin
nell College and Rev. J. Strope, pas
tor of the Congregational church at
Grinnell.
This year the question for debate
was. Resolved that single tax is de.
sirable form of taxation for state and
local governments :" PENIS arGuers
who supported the negative side OF
the question were Raymond Reneaud
and Arthur Hottenstein, speakers, and
Kelly Davis, alternate. They were op
posed by Lowe Berger and David
Cassatt of the Parsons debaters.
PENIS constructive arguments built
up a negative side, that was impos
sible to be surmounted by the Par
sons team, and the Quakers with con
else points and statements we're able
to tear down the visitors arguments
Better delivery Of work by the locals
added much in their favor and the de
bate taken as a whole was decided
favorable to Penn. Had the judges ar
rived there is little doubt but that the
Quaker trio would have carried of
the honors.

liner.

down. After all of the rough work
is completed the rooms will be re-
finished and re-decorated On the

the front porch have been torn out
and the porch will be remodeled and
improved. When all is complete,
