The Art of Kindness

AS an elderly married couple were
passing up a street, lady on the op-
posite side stubbed her toe and fell
down
The old gentleman rushed across
the street, raised his hat, and offered
to assist her in any possible way.
The wife followed him across at a
slow pace, and, witnessing his devo-
ton to the stranger, she got mad, and
shook her fist at him.
ITS all rights all right" he
whispered.
Eyes, know it Is" she holly ex-
claimed. Here an unknown woman
stubs her toe, and you pillow across
the street to eat her up with kindness.
The other day. when l fell downstairs,
you stood at the bottom and laughed
and chuckled and tickled your ribs,
and wanted to know if was initiating
Charlie Chaplin. "-Adelaide (Austra-
lia) Chronicle.

BEYOND POWER OF LANGUAGE
Writer Declares 1t Impossible to AIDE
quateIy Picture the Magnifcence
of Panama's Palm Trees.

Mark Twain once described a palm
as Natures imitation of an umbrella
that has been ont to see what a cy-
clone is like, and is trying not to look
disappointed" But r. P. Chaddock of
Benton Harbor, Mich, in a delightfully."-
interesting and informative brochure
which he has published for private
distribution, entitled Panama and the
Canal Zone" and which is compiled
from series of Vacation Letters"
written by him when on an extended
visit there, says he is sure Twain's de-
scription is gross libel on the magni-
ficent palm trees of Panama. Mr.. Chad
dock writes: There are scores of
palms, some of them dwarfed and
squat, others towering toward the blue
sky before the frond bursts into the
gorgeous plume of the royal palm. High
up in ceiba and ebo trees cling fes-
toons of orchids, absorbing from the
air the beauties of the stars and the
tints of the rainbow. But what's the
use! When no man can paint, much
less describe, a single lily, what chance
is there to compose in words melodic
strain in the divine scenic harmony of
the gem of the tropics?"

Concerninn Patents.

The length of time it takes to obtain
a patent depends partly on the nature
of the application, that is. the thing
TO be patented. and partly on the skill
with which the case is presented.
There are forty distinct divisions in
the patent office, each division having
in charge specific class or variety of
work. Each application is examined
in the order of filing and some of the
divisions are considerably behind in
their work. An application may be
acted on promptly or only after weeks
or months.

For many years it has been a cues
uon whether senator or representa-
tive in congress should represent his
constituents by his votes, or vote his
own convictions. A great many years
ago, it is said, senator's especially
took the ground that a man should vote
according to his own views and not ac-
cept the dictation of his state, whether
voiced by legislative resolution or by
some action taken by the people at the
polls. For the last quarter of q cen
fury there has been more or less con-
troversy on the subject AS a usual
thing men vote according to what their
constituents want. That has been the
case in regard to prohibition. Let a
state 60 prohibition and it is almost
certain that its senators will vote for
any prohibition measure that comes
up. On the other hand, senators rep
resenting states which are wet often
times vote prohibition because of the
strong prohibitionist sentiment that
exists in certain sections of their
states.
In regard to woman suffrage num-
Der Of senators have voted according
to the demands of their constituents
without regard to their own personal
views. At the same time a great many
senators from nonsuffrage states ear
nestly supported the suffrage amend
ment. One rather interesting phase of
the suffrage situation was the fact
that Senator Calder of New York be-
came a suffragist when New York
voted for suffrage, but Senator Wads-
worth remained true to his convictions
and would not be Influenced by the
action of his state. Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota announced that
his convictions were opposed to WON
an suffrage, but as his state had voted
for woman suffrage he would support
the amendment. Senator Borah of
Idaho was a conspicuous example of
a man from a suffrage state who stood
staunchly in the face of great pres
sure and opposed the suffrage amend
ment because he believed suffrage
was matter belonging to the states,
although he himself believed In wom-
an suffrage and had supported it in his
own state.

An important point was raised in
the debate on woman suffrage, which
has not received much attention,
but it is known that it has been
the Southern states. 1t is in re-
gard to the status of the negro when
this war is over and when the negro
soldiers return to the United States
The point was raised in the senate by
two Southern senator's. Hardwick Of
Georgia and Vardaman of Mississippi,
both of whom have been defeated for
denomination. Both were somewhat
alarmists on the subject. Hardwick
said:
1.-THE South is going to have
heavier white mans burden to carry
than 1t ever had in that period of re-
construction which followed the Civil
war. That may sound like a strong
statement to senators who do not live
in the South and who may not under
stand the situation"
He then went on to explain what
had happened in the South in the way
of revising the electoral franchise.
which was done for the purpose of
keeping the. negro from voting. In
state constitutions, in order to allow
white men who could not pass educa-
tional tests TO vote, provisions were
made that soldiers and the descend
ants of soldiers could vote. Hardwick
went on to explain:
"Now this war has come on. We
have drafted impartially from the
male population of the South, and if
the war lasts long we will draft hun
dreds of thousands and it may be
million or more negroes of voting age
in the South, who will go into the
service of the country under the
Stars and Stripes and to France.
When they come back, under our own
state constitutions, the only ones we
could write under the Constitution of
the United States, they come back as
fully enfranchised as any white voter
in any one of the states. and they
come back exempt from the educa-
tional tests and the property tests of
the states of the South"
Vardaman. although supporting
woman suffrage, said there was force
in the objection which the Southern
men made that it would be more diff
ficult to get along with the negro wom-
an than the negro man. But referring
to the other phase of the situation, in
regard TO what will happen after the
war, he said: This war is going to
intensity the difficulties which must be
met at first by the Southern white
people. The arrogance and impudence
of the negro ex-soldier will enhance
the white mans burden"
While these are the only utterances
made publicly, there has been a great
deal of discussion among men in the
South and considerable apprehension
expressed about what will happen in
relation to the negroes when these sol
tiiers return from the war. However,
that will be only one of the many
problems which the war will place be-
fore the American pepole.

WILSON RELIES ON
POPULAR SUPPORT
LIKE ROOSEVELT, HE APPEALS
TO THE COUNTRY WHEN HE
MEETS OPPOSITION.
SUFFRAGE ACTION EXPLAINED
That Proposition and Prohibition Bring
to Fore Question Whether Legislator
Should Vote Only According to His
Own Views.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-Pres Wilson, like
Theodore Roosevelt, relies upon the
people for support. 1t was Rooseyelt's
policy, when he wanted to put any
thing through congress and was met
with an adverse majority, or opposi-
ton among the leaders which was able
TO defeat what he wanted, to place the
whole matter before the people in such
way as to bring the pressure of pub
nc opinion upon congress and force it
to act. No other presidents have ever
used the power of public opinion to
secure action with the same effective
ness as Roosevelt and Wilson. Neither
Cleveland, Harrison, Mckinley nor
Iaft ever put into operation the pow.
err OF publicity and pressure from the
people as have Roosevelt and Wilson.
In regard to legislation which he deems
or great Importance and where there
is intense opposition, the president al.
ways appeals TO the people. Before
the United States entered the war he
even went so far as to make q tour of
the country and urge the necessity OF
an increased army and navy because it
was well-knOWn that there was a ma
Jorlty in congress against such in
creases. And so it was in regard to
the selectiVe draft law; ne made it
plain what was needed and a reluctant
congress voted for what he recon-
mended. One of President Wilson's
closest friends in the United States
senate explained his appearance be-
fore the senate on the suffrage ques-
ton by saying that favorable results
were expected after the people had
been heard from. He said that wheth-
er senator's would change or not de-
pended upon the kilograms they would
get from home after the people had
read the presidents address urging the
adoption of the suffrage amendment.
He said the president did not expect
that his personal statement in his adj
dress to the senators would have the
effect, but the effect would come from
the people, as it had in the past, in
support of the president for anything
that he deemed necessary to win the
war.

dates to get all the votes they could.
An observing newspaper man who
has recently had an opportunity to
take trip throughout the country dis
tricts finds that the people are talk
ing about winning the war and are
more interested in the Liberty loan
and the success of the American
troops than they are In anything else.
An experienced politician who has
been member of the house and gov
ernor Of his state, and is Now Unit
ed States senator, once made the sage
remark that the American people set
tied only one thing at time. And
the one thing which the American peo-
pie now are settling is the German
autocracy. That is wnat they are
thinking about in the cities and in
the towns and throughout the farming
districts. Almost without exception
everybody is engaged IN an earnest
effort to do what he can to win the
war
Naturally there is not any time for
politics. Most of the people do not
believe that it makes any difference
whether there is Republican or Dem
ocratic house of representatives. The
men of both parties have been praised
on all sides for what they have done
to aid the president in carrying on the
war and it is no doubt fact that
whichever party is in power, the Same
strong support will be accorded the
administration until success Is
achieved.

President Wilson delights in sur
prise parties. From the time he be
came president he has taken occasion
70 surprise people in different ways;
to surprise senators and representa-
tives by visits to the capitol: TO sur
prise officials in the dcpsr tments by
dropping in on them Unexpectedly. OF
course the greatest surprise was when
he decided 10 deliver his messages in
person to congress. His most recent
surprise was upon the senate of the
United States, and that. indeed, was
very great surprise. For the presi-
dent to go to the senate and in
speech directly urge them to vote for
q constitutional amendment was some
thing entirely out of the ordinary;
something which never happened be-
fore in the history of the government.
One reason why the senate was taken
by surprise was because congress has
been of the opinion that the amending
of the Constitution was wholly leg
islative function; that this was one
act in which the concurrence of the
executive was not required and which
rested wholly with congress. There
fore. there was a. great deal of COM
ment in and about the senate upon
the surprise which Inc president
sprang upon that body ty going TO
them and urging them to vote for wom-
az suffrage. Naturally the public
comment was very guarded and not
very critical, but what senator's said
in private indicated plainly that they
thought the president had taken a very
bold course.
