New York Sun. The cup. of bitter

Mr.. Sudan is Nonpartisan Lacquer

cause of Nonpartisan Leaguery,
and the line dividing the activities
of some Nonpartisan Leaguers from
pro-German anti-Americanism is so
vague and shadowy that it never yet
has been clearly defined.
In company with five or six fell
low leaguers of proven lung capacity,
tried vocal cords and demonstrated
endurance in the discussion of public
affairs, Mr.. Sudan was holding an
anti-war, anti-eyerything except the

trouble. They were so vigorously
anti-Nonpartisan Leaguers and their

to pounding Mr.. Sudan and his asso-

making rapid but very thorough

venient telegraph poles when the

M1sus1NG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

/ Patriotism is one of the greatest of the viz
tues, but people may carry their patriotism to
| so absurd length that it becomes vainglorlous.
The other day a passenger on a San Francisco
/ ferryboat was first beaten and then sentenced
to ninety days in Jail because he obstinately re-
| fused to stand while party OF amateur musl-
clans played the national anthem on ukulees
and he pronounced the performance as 'sbunk. /"
It was untactful of the passenger not to stand,
and it was even more untactfuI Tor him TO
characterize the performance in the way he did.
When one is a part of crowd, it is the part OF
wisdom as Mr. Pickwick, an esitmable philoso-
pher, discovered at the political meeting at
IEatonsville, to shout with the crowd. But if
the sending man to Jail for not standing
while some amateur musicians strum the ma
tional anthem was intended as an object les
son in patriotism, it probably will fail. The
lSan Francisco man will no doubt come out of
Jail even more patriotic than when he went IN
However this is not the point The point is
that an incident of this kind detracts from the
dignity of the national anthem. We may let
the anthem be sung, whistled or played by any
one at any time and in any place and compel
everybody present to stand at attention while
the process is going on, but such arbitrary
proceeding will not add to anyones patriotism.
On the contrary such proceeding is likely to
cheaper our national song by mlngling 1t with
tawdry vaudeville and transient popular songs.
Why not restrict the use of the national an
them to special occasionse' If it, or the prin-
ciple for which it stands, is sincerely honored,
it will not be banded about in all sorts OF
places and on all sorts of occasions. In hall,
in theatre, in a restaurant, on occasions OF
meetings and assemblies, it is proper that men
and women should honor the national anthem
by standing when it is played. But to use it as
an excuse to start scuffle is not honoring it.
Likely enough the very persons who were so
quick in starting the riot on the San francisco
ferryboat would be the last ones to enlist in the
actual fighting forces.

M.ADoo,s HEALTH. HABITS.

Richard M. Winans. in Physical Gull
ture: However near MIR. McAdoo APP
proaches the human dynamo in his
executive capacity. however hard he
may strike hands with the world OF
business, however uncomprOmising
and inflexible he may be in the con-
duct Of his official duties, he never
theless is known as an exemplary FAM
lily man, and more than that he is an
old-fashioned "homebody." There he
is most lovable Of all and loved by all,
the veritable king-pin Of the family
It is suggested that in the environ
ments Of his home life Mr.. McAdoo re-
ceives the stimulating spiritual in
spiration which goes far toward com
pensating for the neglect OF physical
Inauguration through methodical exer-
else.
He may be spendthrift Of his en-
ergies in his business life, but within
his home he carefully practices those
modes Of living which make for the
conservation of health and the restor-
alton Of physical forces. Especially
does he take intelligent care OF him
self in the evenings. Unless 1t be in
keeping with the social functions OF
his office, Mr.. McAdoo never attends
the big dinners and banquets which
are charged as the cause OF 50 much
OF the ill-health and mortality among
members of official Washington. Not
only does he refuse to gorge himself
with the rich and indigestiole food
served at the continual round Of BAN
quets, but he is particularly careful
about his daily diet. Especial atten-
ton is called to the fact that Mr.. Nc
Adoo is not particularly meat eater.
He rarely eats beefsteak, and taking
the year through he probably will not
average as much as steak a month.
He is said, however, to be "a flend for
chicken" which quite naturally is in
keeping with his Unborn southern APP
petite. The principal food in his diet
is freiit and vegetables of every sort,
and of these he consumes generous
quantities. He is very heavy water
drinker. averaging ten to fifteen glass
es day, according to the season.
And the buttermilk-his appetite for
that has never yet been quite salts
fed.
Except for the infrequent evening
functions of state demanding his Off
cial attendance at the theatre, where
he enjoys mostly light plays and COM
edies. Mr.. McAdoo Is in bed and
asleep by ten o'clock every night.
Usually he retires much earlier, rest
ing and relaxing in bed before going
to sleep. Quite often he will have one

lighter correspondence or the sketchy
outlines of plans which occur to him
In a formative state. The earlier
part CT the evening always is devoted
to close companionship with his fam
lily and especially in boyish enjoy
ment OF the romping about with the
younger members. among which he is
the most "kiddish" Of all.
