leave any milk. The burglars, who
came before the milk man, didn't.

Patronage.

Is in the usual order of things, and con.

In Harness Again,

Ambassador Herrick Is in harness
again. and feeling very comfortable.
as he confesses. Paris suits him. The
French people like him. and he has
returned to them with q lively appre.
citation Of their appreciation. The
President has made no better appoint-
ment.
Mr.. Herrick was in ONCE when the
war storm broke. The utmost con-
fusion prevailed throughout Europe.
Americans on their travels were tossed
about in most uncomfortable way.
This gave to American representa-
tives abroad in both the diplomatic
and the consular fields opportunities
for service out Of the ordinary; and
the records made everywhere were
good.
In Paris-a great city. popular with
world travelers-the situation for
foreigners was for the time chaotic
But, fortunately for his countrymen
caught in the swirl, the American am
bassador was by training a man Of
business, and particularly well quail
fed for the duties that had thus been
suddenly thrust upon him. He was
of great help to everybody, and to
many outside Of his own sphere Of in
fiuence, SO to say.
Mr.. Herrick returns to a situation
shorn Of all those embarrassment.
Peace now prevails. and his duties
will have to do with the ties that bind
the French and the American people
together. That he will again succeed,
and add new credits to his record, We
may ell with perfect safety assume.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

A Human Necessity.
The world must have conventions to
discuss each social movement,
And then adjourn with plans to
hold some more,
For the conversation is what repre-
sents the true improvement
OF people here or on q distant
shore.
In addition to tho wonderful inven'
tions whose employment
Places accurate results beyond q
doubt
The world must have its share Of in
tellectual enjoyment.
1t needs lot of things to talk about
So let us have the theories which call
for erudition
Which ordinary mortals cannot
reach.
For each must do the part in life that
falls to his position.
If it is only just q part Of speech.
The purpose Of existence Is tho con-
slant interchanging
OF thoughts which como in vogue
and then go out.
So let US not grow weary Of the fanciee

A Busy Man.

These are strenuous times for the
President. His callers are numerous,
and as a rule their business is urgent.
He sees them all, hears them all. and
considers what they lay before him.
Then he has Congress on his hands.
It was inevitable that the warning
factions should seek his advice. They
have probably done so none too soon.
Differences Of opinion on Capitol Hill
are sharp just now, and there Is work
An plenty for a referee.
Then he meets the members Of his
eabinet for consultation; and the at.
fairs in their hands are always i'm.
portant.
His daily card, therefore, Is crowd.
nd. Questions Of all kinds, foreign and
domestic, are submitted to him. and
decisions are expected promptly.
Fortunately for Mr.. Harding, his
party. and the country. he is a strong
man physically as well as otherwise,
and Is Of a temperament that accommo-
dates itself to the situation that exists.
He has patience. He is not easily
confused or ratified. He listens we'll.
When he speaks it is to the point.
Tho pressure is steady. One day Is
dke another in its appeals and
anxieties. A President has no under.
etudy. He must puzzle out problems
1sr himself. and tackle them as they
como; and when, as at present, they
tread upon each others heels, so fast
they follow, he is the busiest man in
the country.

ing power and to the citizenry Of the
country. Competent and faithful men
are easily the rule, and the means
taken In the selection bring the desired
result.
The places subject to this change
to the mutation Of politics-are few as
compared with the number formerly
affected. The civil service law now
has a wide application. and there Is q
sentiment in favor Of even q wider.
But that sentiment needs to strengthen
materially before the law Is enlarged
to cover the places at present under
consideration. or soon to be taken up.

Reducing the Army.
