little Of which American readers will
be ashamed as Is possible. There is
room for such resolve. The cruelty
OF the Indians in the days when what

tied by the whites can only be ex.
planned by stating acts OF the whites
which justified the course and OF
which the reader is today heartily
ashamed. There are many instances
OF the savage, inhuman heartlessness
OF the Redskins and hidden away are
narratives OF instances almost as bad
perpetrated by the whites. The muir.

Secretary Daniels reopened an ancient fight when he
appeared before the Naval committee Of the House yes
terday and recommended that the law regarding pro
motions in the navy be amended to provide that all
otionus the future be based solely upon merit The
trouble with promotions merit in the public service
is that it is almost impossible to keep pulp from
crowding merit into the background This tendency is
strong that some of thearger corporations have been
compelled to recognize it and make seniority an import

Evening Chat

Yesterday was thoroughly dark, dis

rained; either a fine. mist, steady
drizzle or a downright pour About,

everything, shutting away from view

about eight o'clock Mr.. Weather de-
cided on still more rain and It came

came up suddenly all over the streets.
Around the opera house there were
so many that 1t was quite a feat to

stubbomness Of the race was very

thing she was complaining about, her
point was rather lost.

Pollyanna paid visit to the opera
house last evening aid Everybody
present enjoyed her immensely. She
is delightful character in one of Gene
Stratton Porter's books and the play
last night was one of the best ever
appearing in the city. The entire
sweetness the absence Of anything
rough counted for lot! They say
the general public likes certain
amount Of vulgarity. Do you believe
It? Many moving picture managers
say their best crowds come to the
questionable presentation of the worst
in life-that II they attempt to bring
clean plays with an entire absence Of
the irregular sex element, they lose
money. Can this possibly be true In
any respect? Have we reached the
place where we no longer enjoy for
instance a beautifully pictured fairy
.tale-like the tale OF Pollyannaa tale
which is probably somewhat over
drawn but which holds infinite posi-
bilities nevertheless! Pollyanna, you
finds something to be glad
about in every obstacle and disaster
She.teaches her interesting philosophy
to all her neighbors. She persuades.
the man with useless limbs to be glad
he can have "sittin' job for life. She.
herself, Is glad she doesn't have to-
carry crutches when, as poor mis-:
sionary's child, she finds nothing else
playable in the missionary barrel
which comes to her home each year.
This glad game! What do you
about It? Did you ever try 1t? It
seems to me lovely game but not
everybody can find happiness in It.
Looking on the bright side Of life is
always best but binding oneself to-,
everything real and repeating con-
stantly that pne is glad when the op.
posite is true, isn't such a helpful
game after all. Facing situations
come nearest to solving then-not
mere denying them, or ignoring them.
Often people bore us fearfully because
they everlastingly turn on smiles and
glad words when quiet, sympathetic
words would go a much longer way.
