FLUENCY OF THE PRESIDENT

The vice of democracies is verbosity,
and in the speeches and interviews OF
President Wilson we see but too much
evidence of this fatal fluency, meaning
little or nothing. Here are two gems
picked from the speech in opening the
discussion on the League of Nations: ut
will not suffice for us to satisfy govern
mental opinion anywhere. 1t is necessary
that we should satisfy the conscience of
mankind" What does that mean? Just
nothing at ALL it is flourish, phrase,
for the conscience of mankind is pure
abstraction. If Mr.. Wilson means the
collective opinion of men it differs in diff
ferent countries, Here is another gem Of
nonsense: "The select classes of mankind
are no longer the governors of mankind.
The fortunes of mankind are now in the
hands of the plain people of the whole
world" That is not true, as Mr. Wilson
must know better than anybody 1t is
physical impossibility for 'the plain peo-
pie of the world to govern, by reason of
their numbers. The select classes, wheth-
er military officers, or bureaucrats,
whether a Kaiser and his council or
President and his Cabinet, must always
govern, and Mr.. Wilson is himself the
representative of the most absolute sys-
tenn of government.-London Saturday
Review.

LABOR AND CAPITAL SHOULD
UNITE

The sensible and fair element of both
labor and capital should unite to crush |.
w. Wism and to throw it out of industry.
There is nothing good to be said about
this organization. 1t is destructive; it is
not movement of the down trodden but
movement of the failures who blame the
government and social conditions for their
own inability or shiftlessness; it has, too,
in its ranks, any exploiters and unscrup-
ulous who have an eye on profits and
dues. The sooner |. w. Wism and its
twin evil, bolsheyism, are defeated the
more readily can industry be put on the
safe basis of corporations -Oakville.

Copies of rooms in the Plaza and st.

Another remarkable set is the rae
ing stable, copied from Frank
Gould's stable at Lakewood. Real
marble floors were laid in the stu
dio, instead OF the painted cloths
which used to satisfy the public
taste. The stalls were made of ma
hogany with marble columns. Carved
walls and stained glass windows
complete the elaborate set.

PAYING THE COST

Paying, as the American people must
pay, $1,200,000O00 year for the next
twenty-five years, to cancel the war debt
may add keener zest to the desire to know
how efficiently the war expenditures were
handled. The accounting of the steward

the domestic comedy now being played

illness and order of German towns with the
squalor they have left it can only be to
recall what France has suffered and what
Germany has escaped. If they are dispos-
ed to pity the women and the children the
memory of other women and children
cruelty done to death or worse should
give them pause. 1t is begging the ques-
ton to say that the German women and
children were in no way responsible for
what their husbands and fathers did. The

Johanne and Her Cat.


BY Marie osbourne. Aged IL. Fort CAL
houn, Neb.
Dear Busy Bees: This is my first
letter. am in the eighth grade at
school and my teachers name Is
Mrs. Dolan. The story ! am going
to tell you is about = little girl
and her pet cat.
Johannes home was in Sweden,
She was little orphan girl. and she
lived in poor hut, with no one to
take care OF her save Sarah, very
cross old woman, who always locked
her in doors when she went out u
work.
Johanne helped to support her
self by making some hair chains,
which Sarah sometimes sold III .
market place. They were considered
very pretty and Johanna was very
skillful at weaving them.
The task was often tiresome, bat
Johanne never thought of grumbling
because there was so much to be
done. What troubled her most was
her loneliness, for many day
Johanne was left quite alone while
Sarah trudged away to market with
the door key hidden down deep in
her pocket.
One summer morning the old
woman started off very early, call
ing out as she turned the key N
the lock, Don't be q lazy girl,
Johanne. Mind that you finish that
second dozen of plaits before ! get
back"
Johanna worked hard all morning.
At IL o'clock she poured cut bowl
OF milk and cut slice OF bread.
This was her luncheon. which she
shared with her cat, for pussy fol-
lowed close at her heels, rubbing
against her and purring very loudly
in the politest Of cat talk, Dear,
kind Johanna, please, will you be SO
kind as to give some OF that nice
bread and milk to mes"
After luncheon she worked hard
again at her hair plating. 1t seemed
like a long, long day to her. 1t
was so pleasant out OF doors.
Johannes fingers began to ache
over her work, and the hair grew
tangled. Still she went on till at
last one was finished. Then she put
her head down on the table and
cried. Poor. tired, lonely little
girl!
Pussy had been catching flies III

but when she heard her dear mis-

A Roman Riddle.

We have no proof that Marc An
tony propounded this precise riddle
to Julius Caesar, but had he done
so, the great Roman probably would
have guessed it, for it would have
been as undesirable in his day as in
ours:
Four things there are of equal
height;
One crooked, all the rest upright,
Take three away and you will find
Exactly ten remains behind.
Yet if in twain you cleave the four,
You'll find one half is eight--no
more.

CHAPTER v.
The Love Music.

= ILLY'S gay. jiggly music was just
~ the kind that would set anyone's
feet to dancing. Even Billy hoped
up and down while he played, and
Penelope and Peggy kept on, hap
PLY stepping in time to the tune as
they looked up into the tree where
the musician was going through the
strangest dance Peggy had ever seen.
The young musician couldn't come
down out of the tree to dance be-
cause Johnny Bull. the dog, was
waiting to grab him the minute he
got within reach. In spite of the
fact that the young musician had
lost his violin and had to stay up
the tree, he seemed to be enjoying
himself hugely. The sour look was
gone from his face and, as Penelope
said. he really was handsome.
Penelope seemed much attracted
TO him. Perhaps she was specially
interested because he was about her
own age and because, like herself,
he had been changed from sadness
to gladness all through the effects
Of a merry tune.
Penelope stared so hard that pres
emily she Drew the eyes of the young
musician downward. His look met
her look. The young musician S
eyes lighted up with astonished
wonder and admiration. Over Pencil
ope's face stole a lovely blush.
The young musician forgot Johnny
Bull waiting below. He forgot
everything except Penelope. He
kept on juggling and juggling among
the branches, but now each jig and
jiggle brought him downward.
Johnny Bull danced innocently
below and didn't seem to be noticing
the young musician. But suddenly
--"Gru-ur-urgh." Johnny Bull
leaped upward and his jaws snapped
savasely II the young musicians
leg had been where it was when
Johnny Bull left the ground he
would surely have been nipped, but
just at that second Billy. seeing
what Johnny Bull was up to, put a
quick jump into the music. and the
young musician. keeping time to t,
gave big hop. That hop just saved
him. The music was stopped. and
the young musician scrambled back
out of Johnny Bulls reach.
''Oh, please go on playing" cried
the young musician, his eyes still
fastened upon Penelopes face. II
