FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1919.
PENRosE AND GUARDIANSHIP.

Senators of progressive tendencies |
vigorously oppose the selection of Sen |
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania as chair
man Of the senate committee on finance |
The opposition is political, Senator
PenrGse having borne the title of
" Boss Penrose." This title has dis
credited the man with the public and
the Progressives to such an extent that
the practical and financially wise
course may not be followed. There is
no disposition to defend or endorse
his political reputation, the greatest
virtue of which is that he wins i'll every
appeal TO the voters of his state.
But the question is who can best fill
the position of chairman of the senate
committee of finance Certainly there
is demanded a man of excellent fnan-
eiaI Judgment, courage and an advo-
cate of financial reform in the conduct
| Of The government. Senator Penrose
certainly measures up to the demands.
4 He has had long experience as mem
/ Der of this committee and is thoroughly
familiar with the financial problems of
i the country. He is a man of courage,
/ having at times stood alone in OPPOSE
ton TO important measures enacted by
/ the majority party of the senate lie is
a firm advocate of financial reform in
the form of the creation of a budget.
The New York Times, Democratic
and always careful in its estimates of
any man, says of him: :" As matter of
fact, Mr. Penrose, a gentleman of great
ability and experience and a sufficient
sense of humor has accepted all the Ill
terror signs of progressiveness. He
stands for primary reform, for every
reform that doesn t change the essen
tial notion he has of national polity.
1t further states that the supreme
reform for which he stands is budget
system and Senator Penrosa is on,
with the majority of Americans in OBJ
jecting to certain luxury taxes" TIL,
Times concludes: I'm his desire for
budget and in his desire to introduce
| if possible, a certain faint intelligence
among the Kitchin taxes, the Hon
Boies Penrose, whatever his past wick
cdnesses, from the Progressive point o
view, will have the hearty approval o
| everybody who has to pay taxes. -
1 Most people, recognizing the neces
sity of experience and ability in tn
accomplishment of real legislative re
\ forms, will admit the fitness of Sena
II tor Penrose to fill well the position o
II head Of the committee of finance in th
J senate of the Goth congress, eve
:, though they may doubt the politicf
L wisdom of such a choice.

point Of view which the person had

"0f course not" said Miss Elephdnt
waving her trunk as she laughed.
"Then. why did you say | hsd?"
asked Brother Elephant, looking very
much puzzled.

ing and thinking when they use their

so great that they can see or thinker

"They never eat with their minds"
chuckled Miss Elephant.
Now all this time the elephants
were working even though they were
talking. They We're In far off land
| and they We're doing a great. great
deal.
These elephants worked from morn
ing to night piling up great quantities
of lumber or wood and showing them
into the water, and helping to build
| RATS.
This wood was sent to help make the
great ships which are being built and
oh, how proud are the elephants who
are working in this fine and mighty
| work.
AS | said" continued Brother Ele-
| plant. "it is all very well TO live ia
zoo, but I'm glad live here. for now
! | can work.
"0f course the elephants in the zoo
can't come way back here and work.
/ That would be foolish loss of time
and money and effort in bringing them
here, but thank my lucky stars thar
am here"
$50 do t. said Miss Elephant. .And
| though don't quite know what. lucky
stars are. if they're the things to Thank
for being here, I want to thank then.
| too"
And the elephants went on work1ng
| quickly and steadily and they smiled
| their funny elephant smiles and they
waved their trunks and laughed as
| they said:
I'VE help in the building OF great
| SHIPS which sail over the ocean. We're
not lust good for doing tricks. We can
work. really work and help Oh so
much!''
And those who were working with
! the elephants admired them more and
more each day.

CLOUDS.
Clouds are wat makes the scenery in
the sky. Wen there's enuff of them that's
all you can see, but the sky takes up SO
mulch space that it wouldent be eny use
of Just few clouds trying to make
a cloudy day
Wen big black cloud goes in frunt Of
the sun the sun disappears, but wen a
little wife one goes in frunt of it the
cloud disappears. This proves you can't
always ixpeck to do q thing jest because
you see sumbody elts do it.
Clouds genrelly waite. till lot of them
get together before they start to rain,
because if people saw Jest one cloud rain.
ing by itself they wouldent even take
the tiubble to 60 in the house Therefore
wen there's no clouds its sine that il
it rains it will be unexpected.
Clouds are all sorts of shapes, depending
on the clouds and your Imagination One
persin mite think cloud looks like a
elefunt, but the more he argews the less
enybody elts viii admit it. This proves
that everybody is entitled to their own
opinion.

General Wood.
New York Trihune.l

Senator Moses of New Hampshire, re-
Gently in contact with his constituents
reports a growing conviction that Gener-
al Leonard Wood Is to be a presidential
candidate in 1920, and predicts that if
he is nominated he is practically certain
to be elected.
General Wood was born in New Hamp-
shire and his native state Graves the hon
of submitting his name to the nomi-
mating convention. He entered the army
from Massachusetts, and many in the Bay
State think the privilege should be hers
Kansas has adopted him as one of her
beloved citizens and voices favoring him
come out of that modest state. The rivalry
suggests that in one respect General Wood
meets one condition of presidential can
didate-he is big enough to be seen across
the country
Some of those who do not look with
favor on the Wood candidacy, men who
fear it and would head it off have in
dustriously insinuated the idea that sore
ness IS not wide enough platform The
proposition is doubtless sound, but it
does not apply An attractive quality OF
General Wood is his steadfast refusal to
be sore. Other men might have been
when he was shunted to side track
when the war began, or when a board of
doctors was called in seemingly with the
purpose to retire him as an invalid or
when he was denied an opportunity for
foreign service. But he was so busy with
duties that he had no time for other
thoughts.
In the presidency America prizes char
aeter more than anything else, and char
acter is not shown by what particular
Job a man holds, but by the way he re
acts to jobs placed ON him. 1t is thus
not strange that Leonard Wood has
steadily grown in public esteem His life
has been one long success In his first
profession and Ill his second he won dis
tinction. Then turning to highly com
plicated tasks as administrator of Cuba
he organized new nation He had i'm
agination and the spirit of practically il
admirable mixture
Then, in the trying days prior to oul
entry into the war, he displayed the high
est gifts of craftsmanship. Except fol
the preparedness campaign which he car
ried on, practically without official sup
port, we might have arrived too late a
i ChateauThierry and the Argonne. Elk
cept for his refusal to be gagged, Ameri
can casualties might have been 1000. OOO
rather than 28l,000.
Not by accident not by phrases, not b!
elf-advertisement, has he won his re
pute-not by accident is he hailed a
the inheritor of the great Roosevelt ira
ditions.
