Rebukes the Writer.

The letter most serious in tone as well
as dgnified in style is that of a young
lady who rebukes the newspaper writer
for charging the youthful adorers with
bringing flowers to lay at the feet of a
goddess. They are not carried to the
Metropolitan with such a thought, she
declares. but as a tribute to an artist.
To this attitude certainly no one can OBJ
ject. To strew flowers in the path Of
an artist Is a graceful act. and maidens
should not be reproved for it.
From time immemorial il has been
the privilege of human beings to publish
in demons.rative and even extravagant
manner their admiration for singers.
Forty Italian poets united In the crea-
ton Of volume Of verse In honor of
the celebrated Leonora Baroni. whose
beautiful singing delighted Rome In the
hr half OF the seventeenth century,
and who was carried off TO Paris by
that distinguished patron OF the opera
Cardinal Mazarin. to stir the pulses Of
the Queen and the court.
John Milton was In Rome when Leo
nora sang. and he was 50 uplifted that
he immortalized her in q sonorous Latin
sonnet Yet doubts as to whether her
art alone was responsible for all these
poetic Qualifications IS raised by the fact
that the Pope called her n siren and
made laudatory remarks about her eyes.
OF course, all these poets were men.
But the Queen Of France. just "a woman
under the skin, 'prostrated herself before
the prima donna and ordered FOR her

money.

But doubtless this view Is but an ad-

They are not thinking OF perfume or
dances. but of the divine art OF song
and their admiration Is for Miss Far
rar's Incompatible singing. which, Of
course, stands quite alone amid the in
ferior achievements OF the Metropoltan's
other singers. Or perhaps one should
admit that even though there are other
excellent singers. they lack the individ-
uai charm of Miss Farrar. But this
might bring us back 10 the notion that
tho individuality had more influence
than the art and so this thought must
also be rejected

BUSINESS OPTIMISM.

(From the GEOGRAPHICALLY
1t is worth noting that in all the
recent comment concerning the re-
strictions of credit, the lessened de.
mand for commodities and the cur
tailed production in some lines, there
has been little suggestion of panic"
or even of hard times"
Neither the business situation nor
the political situation seems to cause
any great alarm. There is gen
eral undertone of confidence. Things
that used to be taken as unfailing
harbingers of disaster are interpret
ed as wholesome signs. Thus when
people stop buying goods as usual.
it is taken as sign of thrift; when
credit is denied by bankers, it is
praised as a step in deflation. Un-
employment in some industries is
welcomed as providing relief for
other industries that need workers.
There are many who frankly desire
dull" period, as means OF low
ering prices. Every business cloud
that appears is turned inside out to
show the silver lining.
There is sound reason, too, for
this optimism. The nations finan-
cial system is, according to compe-
tent judgment, established on solid
rock. Our banking organization Is
now so strong and yet so flexible
that it can meet all demands likely
to be made upon it in any locality
or by the country as a whole. Pro-
duction has not yet caught up with
the nations requirements, and will
not for long time to come, so that
any case of industrial dullness is
merely local, accidental or tenn
porary.
This prolonged period of repairing
the waste of war and bringing pro-
duction up to the normal demands OF
the future is bound to be one Of busy
industry and prosperous trade. Any
lull can be only transient, and must
give away to increased activity.
The only real cloud in the bust
ness sky is the failure of transpor-
tation, and that, too, is necessarily
transient. 1t also may have it's OPP
timistic Interpretation. 1t is better
to have too few cars for the traffic
than too many cars standing idle
for lack of traffic-better too little
transportation than too much-be.
cause the former means steadily con-
tinued activity and progress. =,

BROWN BUTTONS TON
BY MILDRED WHITE.


Rhoda sat listening asfMrs. Hamtt.
7 ton talked, and rebellion arose within
her. Was it for this, the visit had
been urged upon her? That she might
be led into a marriage with the ex-
acting son Of her mothers dearest
friend. John Hamilton's virtues had
been sung into Rhoda's ears as long
as she could remember: John Hamil-
ton, the spoiled and adOred Of his
mother. RhOda, In her country home

"NOt exactly engaged, Aunt Gym

man who has my heart" Which. will

when the time comes.

said sharply.
II don't Think" Rhoda replied; "that
mother knows him."

clandestine affair" Rhoda shook her
head.
"He doesn't live in our town." she
explained cOnfusedly. Mrs. Hamilton
sighed in relief and smiled.

OUEER PEOPLE.

At this writing a convention OF
Fighters is in session at Chi
cago. Among those in attendance
there are several eminently respec-
able and intelligent gentlemen, but
taken as whole they are a pictur-
esque group of queer people, group
that will probably nominate a ticket
and adopt a platform that will not be
satisfactory to any considerable num-
her of the unsatisfied elements OF the
country. People of the best mental
ity compromise their differences, and
become managers and directors OF big
and little world affairs
Eccentric people are unable to agree
with each other in sufficient numbers
to enable them to accomplish results,
either in business or governmental af-
fairs. And it is we'll that this is so,
for if all those not satisfied with either
the Democratic or Republican plat
forms were able to unite upon
some single plan for the overthrow
of both the old parties they might be
a menace of gigantic proportions.
We already have a third party, the
Bolsheviki wing of the Socialists.
They have nominated Debs for the
presidency. And it is safe to say that
we will have a fourth party and prob
ably a fifth and sixth party before
the nominating season closes this

NOT TRUE.

The Cox if for Whiskey' headline
in the Manchester Press of last week
is untrue. The Press may not have
been entirely to blame for it's mis-
statements on this subject. 1t prob
ably got hold Of some of the scum
that rose to the top of the political
pot, that got rather hot during the
Democratic pre-convention campaign
this year.
We do not know just how Governor
Cox may have stood on the, liquor
question in years past, but it does not
seem reasonable that the great state
of Ohio would have ratified the prohi-
dictionary amendment as promptly as it
did If it had governor that was for
whiskey. Neither does it. seem reason
able that the great state of Ohio would
have three times elected a man as its
governor who did not stand for law en-
forcement, and that is the only feature
of the prohibitory law in which the
public is now interested. -
y Prohibition Of the liquor traffic u
now and always will be a part of the
law of this country. 1t is safeguarded
by the constitution. All that per-
son has a right to ask of a public
official is law enforcement. Here is
a letter that was written by Governor
Cox on the 23rd OF. last month to John
H. Pollock, Of Kansas City, and made
public the day the Governor was nom
mated for the Presidency:
ri have read. your letter with in
terest. The question before us now
is law enforcement. AS the consti-
tuition and statute stand, they are the
expressed mandate of the people and
must be respected by public officers
and citizens as long as they remain.
There is no difference between neg
lect of the law by public officers and
an attack against our institutions by
the Bolshevik. We contend, and
properly SO, that there is no need of
revolution in this country because
we have the governmental facilities
to change the existing order by rule
of the majority but we can hardly |
create the proper attitude among
aliens, unaccustomed to our ways,
if public officers close their eyes to
their oath and obligation.
1--WE have record for law enforce
ment in this state. During my first
term, Ohio was given law-observ-
ing Sunday for the first time in his
tory, and men who have been in
Weighing against me know that per-
fectly we'll. Furthermore, they know
