Warning to Defamers of the
President-Big and Little
The Jail That Will Cage irresponsible Anarchists Can
Also Hold the Corporation Lawyer Whose
Master Hires Him to Slander
re the President.

Two dozen men have been arrested for alleged threats
against the President This country NEEDS the services
of President Wilson means have them and will not
stand nonsense from those that attack and bettle him.
thus arousng dangerous hatred the part of the Da
anced
irresponsible agatOrs foreign born will be sent out
Of the country
And native-born nuisances will be put in jail
In his speech arriving yesterday President Wilson
said to the great crowd in Boston:
Ths great country of is trusted throughout the
world" 3.
To this may be added that President Wilson trusted
throughout the United States. And that laws that
able to protect him against irresponsible gutter bather
sixties should also be able to protect him against the
shameful and shameless attacks Of paid corporation law
yers that SANDER him because he has forced their
ployers to pay income tax.
If it is illegal for the spokesman of anarchists
cb defame the President should also be illegal for
the paid attorney Of the Standard Oil Company the
Consolidated Gas Company to make against the President
such charges might stimulate physical attack by
irresponsible fanatic.
The corporations whose attorneys have been denounc
ing the President should realize that THEY and not the
legal dogs that they hire would be held responsible the
words of their hired lawyers should bear fruit in action
The Rev. W. T. Manning, of Trinity Church, in New
York City, adds his words to the efforts Of corporation
lawyers that attack the President of the United States
The reverend British gentleman might it seems, make
himself useful considering the location of his church at
the head of Wall Street without attacking crtcizing
the President of the United States He might leave that
those whom the corporations openly pay for the service
They hire Mr. Manning their souls fight the
income tax.
The gamblers in front of his church door, and the
interesting corporation gentlemen that sit and listen to him.
should keep this reverend gentleman fully occupied with
useful criticism.
This is not time for attacks upon the President of the
United States by reverend British gentleman who
thinks himself equipped to teach wisdom to Woodrow vii
Mr. Manning will his salary fully if he will save
from hell and preserve for heaven the interesting collection
of Wall Street souls that hire him
The people will excuse the British gentleman from
directing their President in his duties

JUDGING from my mail, there
must be an entire race OF
j girls qualified to come under
this heading. They are good, often
they are clever, frequently they
are pretty-but men pass them by,
and offer flowers, candy, and "the
devotion of a lifetime" to less ia
vored damsels.
Why is it, the neglected sister
hood write and ask me, with the
touching confidence of a solution?
And with due modesty, please let
me say, if / could answer that
question, should have made a
discovery more valuable than
Madame Curie, when she succeed
ed in separating radium from
pitchblend. 1 should be in the
class with Calico, Newton, and
other epoch making geniuses, and
/ should have found out something
that has been puzzling thinkers
since the days when our aboreal
ancestors (feminine) stopped hurl-
ing cocoanuts at their hated rivals
and went off to primp at the near
est stream.
No One Can Define Charm.
No, we don't know why one
woman has charm and another
hasn't, why one repels and another
attracts. Libraries have been
written on the subject, we know
that it is true, and we make the
best of it.
Some authorities claim that
radiant health and vitality have
much TO do with the magic, but
who has not seen the girl, a pic
ture of health and with good looks
to boot, holding up the wall at a
dance?
And who does not recall down
right ugly, and even unwhole-
some looking women, who number
their conquests by the score? A
French woman, perhaps, can do
more with a poor hand, in the way
OF appearance, than any other
woman in the world. Every tour
list who has spent a fortnight in
Paris will recall the type l mean.
She may be almost ill-faVored,
yet she dominates her appearance
by such intelligence as to be all
but irresistible. Her clothes
hang" wonderfully, they bring out
every good line. Each point TO

tive genius. The arch Of the eye

to find themselves, after a few
moments, in sole possession of the
field. If you happen to be clever,
hide it as you would an ugly scar.
At least don't employ it in in
structing a man in Greek art,
metaphysics, mathematics or
Maeterlinck - unless he has
singled you out for the purpose of
discussing these things.
Employ your cleverness in look
ing your best, being companion
able and making your shy, elusive
quarry have a thoroughly good
time. A little gracious hospitality
helps a great deal and to enter
tain does not mean one has to
have a house, or even an apart
ment. A hall bedroom rigged up
as a sitting room, and with a re-
freshing absence of bric-a-brac,
may be comfortable and attrac-
tive.
And surely it is within the
power of every woman to offer a
good cup of tea-boiling water, a
freshly scalded teapot, a spoonful
Of your fayorite blend and You
have something that money cannot
buy at the best hotels.
And as for coffee, the woman
who has mastered the art of max
ing a perfect cup of coffee might
almost be classed under the head
Of "a sorCeTess welding an undue
influence"
So hospitality does not neces-
sarily mean a house and a corps
of trained servants, but it does
mean intelligence and a little
extra work.
Don't Flock With Wall Flowers.

Every Woman May Please by
Taking Thought.
And every woman, if she will
only take the time and thought,
may do as much for herself. Let
her study her type and work out
the problem. She may seek ex-
pert advice in regard to her hair,
complexion and clothes, but let
her make sure, before seeking it,
that the advice is both intelligent
and disinterested.
Clothes are a tremendous help to
"the girl who does not attract
men," They need not be extrava-
CANT but they should be considered
with prayer and fasting. The
average man enjoys the distinction
of being seen with a fashion plate,

COL. GEORGE P. AHERN, secre-
tary Of the War College, has lost
his wonderful and famous collie dog
"LOCH." Missing the colonel at the
War Dept, the dog searched for his
master at the Army and Navy Club;
then went to Fourteenth and K
streets, actually boarded a street
car trying to go home on Belmont
street. The crew did not know where
the dog belonged, and on the return
trip put him off at Fourteenth and
K streets. He was seen in an auto
mobile later.
A very handsome young woman
who is employed by the War Labor
Board came out of the Ebbit House
Saturday evening at 6:40 o'clock
carrying an umbrella, as it was rain
ing. A well-known major thought
he would become suddenly acquaint-
ed with the young woman, and asked
her if he could walk along under the
umbrella. She froZe him.
Then she darted across the car
tracks to the northside car loading
platform, and the major followed
her. He began a barrage of glances
and she retaliated with scorn. Final
ly the major became so intent in his
boorish campaign that he stepped in
front of a moving street car. The
fender caught him, and swept him
on, but he was so surprised that he
opened his mouth like the Hoosac
tunnel and uttered a yell that could
have been heard in Oshkosh.
And the handsome lady was so sur.
prised that she Just sat right down
in the street.
