IL was likewise a detail, but by no

And the more you stop to analyze
any successful business, the more
you will realize that IL is built on
seemingly trivial details that after
all have a far.reachtng significance.
Neglect the little things in bust

sure that you will not long have big
things TO which TO pay attention. At.

and ever bigger things will be de-

All over our land thousands OF
young men and women. having said
farewell TO school or college, are
setting out TO make their way in
the world. They will find many I'M
expected obstacles TO overcome, and
many hard lessons TO learn in bust
ness life.
Also. many of them will find them
selves seriously handicapped by
unfortunate characteristics which
schooling has failed 10 correct. One
such characteristic OF common oc-
currence is inattention TO detail.
The tyro in business too often
fails 10 appreciate the Importance
of the little things that enter into

The Crossings Good, Anyhow,

And now is the time when every man has the
right TO exercise his quadrennial privilege OF
figuring upon the presidential vote
Justice Hughes is being flooded with pledges,
promises and predictions. remarks the G. o. +.
press All three are cheap enough. but political
pledges and promises are flimsy things and pre-
dictions mere guess-work-as this is, by the way
Speaking of pledges, IL recalls TO our mind the
hoary story OF Judge Brown, a candidate for
justice OF the peace down in Texas few years
ago
The day before election Brown announced that
he had one thousand votes pledged; enough TO
easily elect him.
He poled two hundred votes.
Asked for a statement after election, he re-
marked:
"All I've got to say is, that there are 500 of
the biggest liars in the world, right here in
Texas"
Getting down to figures. in 1912 the Demo
cratic ticket polled 6,293,01s votes; the Republi-
cans 3,4S4.956.
1t is likely that both parties will poll their
normal stand-pat vote with a fair prospect OF
Wilson increasing his, since in politics the 'ins
always have the edge
The Progressive vote is, OF course. an un-
known quantity, but short OF some political
mracle-working, the Progressiyes are going to
be pretty badly split
There are lots OF normal Democrats in that
party, to say nothing of the extreme radical
Republicans who will not vote for Hughes I'M
der any consideration or suasion
Should the Progressves put out new ticket
a majority of the voters of the party may sup
port it, II not, the party will split three ways,
some going TO Hughes, some TO Wilson and some
not voting at all.
The latter may we'll be tailed in the Wilson
column for vote not cast is a vote for him.
In 1912 the Progressives polled 4,ll9,507 votes.
Allowing that bare 20 per cent. Of these
swing 10 the Democrats, Wilson's vote will APP
proximate 100000.
Should Hughes bag all the balance Of the 1912
vote, he will still be lacking mat
ter of half million votes Of popular majority.
Guess work, we have already admitted but as
good guess as any.
And you can make another guess by guessing
how the women will vote.

Thought Tiet jens a Spy.

Paul Tietjens. the young Ameri.
can composer, is again safe at home
In his New York studio after a long
and nerve-racking experience in Eu.
rope. He was in Berlin. all ready
for the production OF his first Ger.
man opera, when the war broke out
The production was on the stage. the
company had completed rehearsals.
the opening had been announced and
the tickets were on sale.
Then came the upheaval. Tiet.
jens' deliberately planned project was
suddenly abandoned. The singers
were discharged and the scenery
stored He decided that IL would be
some time before Berlin would be
ready for his opera and that. after
all, the United States was a pretty
good place for an American citizen.
He had five trunks when he left
Berlin. and In them were the scores
books. plots and sketches OF years
OF work at various musical compost
tons for the stage.
When he reached the border only
two trunks were left, and these con.
taised his personal effects. His man.
uscrtpts, correspondence. music. bus.
mess contracts and books had all
been confscated He reached Lon
don all right, but another OF his
trunks was missing and he found
himself the object OF much suspi.
cious scrutiny. His name has a Ger.
man twist 10 II and his baggage was
covered with German labels. He
might have escaped trouble. but he
continued 10 trace letters back TO
Germany in an effort 10 locate and
regain his precious opera

with his own intercepted letters, and

cry and Stone famous-"The Wizard

never heard OF on or the Wizard. or
