from first to last for the nomination OF some
man whose craftsmanship has been tried and
whose proved wisdom and steadfastness will
command the confidence and the votes Of the
millions who think more than they talk, and who
discover greater weight in performance and
achievement than in promises The real leaders
of the Republican party know we'll that only
real statesman can defeat President Wilson and
they will not be misled by mere clamor that
represents nothing into nominating any other.
Quite likely the Wood movement has an in
spiration other than his ambition that will
be disclosed at Chicago, if not sooner. Gen
Wood and his supporters must be credited with
enough to know that he cannot be nomi-
mated by the Republican convention, and the use
that is to be made of whatever sentiment may
be created in his favor is an interesting subject
for speculation.

Point of View.
By JOHN ID. BARRY.

The other day l had luncheon with two
very able men. They were both keenly interest
ed in social problems. They had long known
of each other by reputation and they had been
eager to meet. They were soon plunged in a
discussion.
sat back and listened. | expected to hear
vital topics we'll threshed out | thought
each of those men would give way to the other
and the talk would be highly illuminating. But
l disappointed Neither gave way. On each
others pet theories they had mercy. The
talk led nowhere, except to indignant resent
ment 1t was a rather painful and yet an
amusing experience | sure that each of
these antagonists came to the conclusion that
the other a fool And yet l was convinced
that fundamentally these two men agreed.

"Of what use is it?" asks Bishop Lawrence,
OF Massachusetts, "for young woman to camp
and march for three weeks, if she passes the
rest OF the year walking in high-heeled shoes
and living in luxury. What gain is it for young
men to stop their cocktails and slack morals for
six weeks in camp if they take them up again
for fOrty-six weeks?" Many will be disposed to
differ with the good bishop, taking the view that
even few weeks of training each year during
which the cocktails and high heels are dis
carded, must be beneficial of itself, to say moth
ing OF the many cases in which the old WAYS
will not be taken up again in hurry, if at all.

The New York police force marched up Fifth
avenue last Saturday and next Saturday the ad-
vocates OF preparedness will parade along this
famous thoroughfare; but the authorities have re-
fused to permit the avenue to be used for a
Baby Week procession Of infants. Probably they
were actuated by desire to give the regular city
traffic chance to move we'll as by concern
for the safety of the little ones

The publicity given to those ANONYMOUS
threats to blow up building of the Department
OF Agriculture of course spoiled any chance the
authorities might have had of capturing the au-
thor of them Evidently the man who an
nounced his alleged incendiary purpose to the
newspapers and the chief of police three days in
advance is of unsound mind though he may also
be dangerous. And this applies just the same if
he is of the type known as the practical Joker.

THE GRACIOUS GIVER.

When beggars greet you with some story gray
Grant what you give them in gracious way,
For who can tell? Their hunger may not be

The New York police have been given or
ders not to permit the actors, who for years
have chosen Broadway as the stage upon which
to strut for their own amusement or Ioiter on

traceable to the popularity of the film plays

Even though the New York Tribune chose a
very bad time in the career of Theodore Roose-
welt to change its policy toward him and come
out in support Of his political ambitions it must
n given credit for gameness. 1t shows no signs

The Washington herald., 1916-05-12

The little episode set me thinking. Is
there so much disagreement in the world, after
all? Is not great deal OF the disagreement
either verbal Of self-assertive? Where people
believe strongly they have tendency to try
to put down those who do not wholly agree
with them. And yet such disagreement
there is may be largely matter Of definition
that is, Of words. If either of the two antag
onsts had gracefully yielded to the other and
had strven to catch the others point of view,
the conversation might have proceeded agree
ably and proftably. AS matter of fact, it did
not proceed at all. 1t was hardly more than a
monologue, sustained now by one side and then
by the other.

Harry Lauder, sailing for England, estimated
that he had given 100000 worth of his time
to the British cause during his tour of this
country by giving free performances for various
funds. Considering that the war has been in
progress less than two years it is difficult to
understand how Harry was able to give all that
time away and still earn enough to live on.
Though, perhaps at such high valuation, half
hours work would yield an ordinary wears
salary.

"Try to take the point OF view Of your an
tagonist and move from that" says John l.
Chapman. The remark has a certain profund
ity. If we all did it we should find arguing
smoother than it now it, a rule, and we
should also find many points OF agreement with
those apparently opposed to us, and should
find social relations much easier and much
more profitable.
At a public meeting | recently attended l
witnessed a curious violation of the spirit be
hind that advice. The speaker had a difficult
task. His views, as he we'll knew, were de-
cidedly opposed to those of his audience 1t
important that he should win that audi
cnce over To my astonishment he began by
scodng the audience for their views. At once
lie put them in hostile frame of mind As he
went he made them dislike him more and
more. By the time he finished he had | be
eve, not made 'one convert. On the contrary,
he had evidently helped to intrench many of
his listeners in their opposition Opinions that
they dsliked he caused to seem in their eyes
all the more dislikable because of his method
and manner. He personifed those views in a
way that was offensive in itself and that made
the views offensive.

"a mush Of concession" But few people need
feel concern about any such calamity. Most of
