Ing the committee of the Senate which Is
conducting an Investigation into the alleged

utterance In his Minneapolis speech.
When tho inquiry into the patriotism of
the Wisconsin Senator was first proposed
tho prediction entered in these columns
that he would never assume an apologetic
attitude to any body OF men empowered to

Sudden Transformation.

An amusing incident occurred re-
Gently on an Edinburgh tramcar. A
small boy, who looked about eleven
years DID, but whose face bore frown
Of world-weary cynicism, climbed to
the top deck of tramcar. When the
conductor appeared the small boy af-
fected a remarkable change in his ia
cial expression. The world-weariness
disappeared, the lines Of experience
and cynlcism smoothed out. In a juve-
nile squeak the boy asked for "chll-
dren's" half-price ticket The small
boy waited until the conductor had de-
scended, and then came another quick
change. The worldwearlness returned,
the lines that come from life in the
money market and the lack-luster dull
ness came back. The small boy then
pulled out large cigarette case, Sc
lected a fat cigarette, and laconicauy
asked another man for light.
