WHAT HOPE HAS A MAN

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

He tells us that war brought women to the front industrially and socially, to wear mems uniforms and ape mons ways, and leaves them in charge of all sorts of repressive fanatssisms in the way of reforms which they have engi- neered and inspired Man, in his dole full picture, is little better than verm- form appendix of the body polite.
 pr. William J. Hickson is wrong. He proves his contention to his own satis- faction by the statement that he is re- ceiviag in his laboratory as clinical material more male degenerates than ever. But good many abnormalities of every sort are the direct result of mental stresses and strains and wounds and shocks received in war with which women have nothing to do. The open and not the laboratory is the place to study men and find out what they are like. Let the professor leave his sphygometers and his pieximeters and stetchoscopes for little while and go to place where real men are doing real work. Let him admit that the soul has something to say and that life does not consist of the imperious bodily demand The savant from Chicago sees fit to sheer at many of the high pas- sions whereby men live, for man, we are told on good authority. doth not live by bread alone.

 John Sloan. the well known free hand draughtsman, who happens to be president of the emancfpated artists, explained to the World reporter, whose ignorance of modern art Is co-extensive with the horizon and is bounded only by the zodiac, that the purpose of the society is the holding each year of an exhibition to which all may contribute, ands in which no distinction shall be made among the exhibitors. There is no jury and there are no prizes.
 No picture Is too good to be hung. If anybody wants a picture hung in the exhibition, all he has to do is to hand Independent Artist Walker Pach, treas urer of the society, a ten-dollar bill or pale blue money order for that sum. and that makes him darned in- dependent artist.

Culpepper Exum Dies
 After Long Illness.

lE EW men in Birmingham had so 9 many devoted friends as Gull pepper Exum. Coming here from South Carolina in 1897 to make this his home, he was soon recognized as distinct acquisition to our vigorous citizenship.
 He was business man of sterling qualities. Frankness was one of his characteristics, and no man was more honest. He was full of pluck and en- terprise, and every one in this young and progressive city saw his worth and found in him signal promise.
 MT. Exum soon became one of our foremost manufacturers and one of our most successful upbuilders.
 Many men of affairs become so engrossed in their own business that they have little inclination for civic or humane activities; little time for the betterment of the community. But MT. Exum was a philosophical fac tor from the start He served as president of the Chamber of Com merce and did much toward building up that institution. He was also a strong supporter of the state fair, and. served with marked efficiency as it's president.
 There was indeed no civic institu- tion in which he was not interested. He was whole-hearted and was every body's friend. When he ran for mayor, therefore, he had an easy victory.
 MT. Exum's bonhomie was a real asset of Birmingham, for there was no movement of importance that he did not enliven and assure it of suc- cess by his happy spirits and his fine sense of humor.
 Birmingham will sorrow keenly over the death of Culpepper Exum.

As a Lamb to the Slaughter,
 But Mir. Bryan Is Willing.

WHEN the war lords chased WV Ebert the Fat" out of Ber- lin, many students of international politics were quick to say, T told you sol" Similarly, when the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, whom "Marse Henry" Watterson dubbed the "Boy Orator of the Platte" an nounced that he would submit to be- ing conscripted for the presidential nomination, wiseacres wagged their heads and complacently remarked that their predictions had come true.
 MT. Bryan's statement, given out in the classic shades of Lincoln, Neb., is in the usual vein of candidates ready to be sacrificed on the altar of patriotism. It is matter of cuty with MT. Bryan-as it was in prevl- ous elections when the democratic party. following the Pied Piper of Nebraska, ate the bitter husks of defeat. If his nomination for. the presidency is demanded under cer- tain conditions" the battle-scarred warrior will once more seize sword and buckle and lead his party against the foe, mayhap to receive mortal wound.
 The Conditions" of course, nave to do with the pernicious "wets" who once more dare to raise their bat tered heads, and the "reactionaries, those evil spirits of democracy who would halt the onward march of prog ress and turn the clock back.
 With Mr. Bryan in the role of Bar kis and his "eliminator" in fine work ing order, other candidates for the democratic nomination wouldsdo well to watch their step.

Big Guns Not Likely

6HHERE is little likelihood of an-
 U other world war being precipi- tated by the. latest upheavel in Ger many. In maze of contradiction, one fact is well established, and that ia Germany's exhaustion. She is in no position to renew hostilities, al though there may bet quite enough bo+beads in the fatherland to cause a rupture with the allied govern ments.
 Prince Joachim, Prussian cousin of the ex-Kaiser, is conspicuous type of the German who would be danger ous. to the peace of Europe, if he were not impotent. It was Prince Joachim who started riot in the dining room of the fashionable Adlon hotel in Berlin by attacking mem- -sbers of the French commission be- cause they refused to stand while the abominable Deutschland Uber Alles" was being played. The prince was cast into jail and kept there for scv- eral days, according to reports. The incident was hailed by American newspapers as proof that democracy had really arrived in Germany. Alas! Almost immediately the militarists overthrow the government and turned its leaders out with scant ceremony.
 Naturally, the situation in Ger many is of absorbing interest tp the world in general and the allies in particular, but the fact that they are : keeping close watch on developments should not cause alarm. If the Ger man people are so infatuated with their former masters that they can't be happy without them, that is their own affair.
