WHITE MAGIC

There. is a little art Of white magic
in life which works wonders. 1t is to
go up TO someone whom everybody
considers commonplace and second
rate and say quite simply (and
truthfully): you are not common
place at all. You only think you are
because stupid people think you are.
You are as good as they make. Now
go ahead and show these people some
speed"
Of course the power of this white
magic is that it is true. What we call
medlocrity or second rateness is
nothing but self-distrust. Let every
body call boy a Ounce and a Ounce
he will be. Then come along and
make him see that his duncehood is
nothing but family or a neighbor-
hood nickname, and he will blossom
out into something to astonish and
shame the natives.
Give me somebody TO believe in me
or tell me to believe in myself-and
am made man. Give me some
body to tell me: There's nothing
the matter with you. You are all
right These people think you are
this or that? To thunder with these
people! BE YOURSELF! Keep
friendly with the police and then go
your own way and let what people
think or say go hang. On that tack
you can't go wrong"
And of course, again, the power of
this is that it is literally, strictly and
scientifically true One may make
plumbers and get into scrapes, but a
life lived in such a spirit of self conf
dence and willingness to learn is
bound to come out right in the end.
After all, what are a few barked
shins?
A boy once told me that his parents
while really quite proud of him, took
good care never to tell him so for
fear of spelling him. Now, in the
name of all the gods at once, what
stupidity To expect high conduct of
anyone is the surest way OF getting
it. Do you admire this person or
that? Tell them so, as plainly and
explicitly as possible. Tell them that
they are about the best thing that
ever came down the pike. They will
start playing to your private gallery,
with the present result that they will
find themselves dazzling the grand
stands with their touchdowns.
To assume that the people at ones
elbows are commonplace (they are
not, you know, to begrudge them
full credit for what they do well, is
worse than ill-temper. 1t is worse
than stupidity 1t is death.
To see the huge possibilities in
people in whom the mediocre see only
mediocrity is life, creating 1t is the

Disclosures made in the report

the accounts of the states industries
are SO much worse than anyone ex-

The report contained more than
500 pages. In those 500 pages al

substantiated, and there is so much
more that has never been suspected
that it is impossible to digest it all at

of foreign and international relations,
which Mr.. Hughes and the Senate
must work out together.
4 From all indications, it appears
that the so-called Emergency Tariff
will constitute the first job of the new
Congress. No less an authority than
President Harding himself has assert
ed that it is the most urgent problem
demanding solution, and recent
Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald states that the plan is to frame
the emergency measure upon the basis
: of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff of 1909.
That, it will be recalled, was the pro-
duct of the Taft administration, and
came after campaign in which the
Republican party and its candidates
had pledged themselves to revision
of the tariff Once elected and in Of
flee, they proceeded to "revise" the
tariff, but to the CONSERVATION of the
deluded public, they revised it up
ward instead of downward, and gave
us another tariff of denominations"
The memory Of the public is very
chort; otherwise, the Republican par
ty, so newly in power, would not come
out so flat-footedly for measure
which, perhaps more than anything
else, wrecked its last administration.
In vetoing the Fordney bill, Mr.. Will
son in a vigorous message, attacked
not merely the particular measures,
but denounced the general principle
of high protective tariff, particularly
at time when Europe can pay her in
debtedness to us only in commodity
exports. 1t was Mr. Wilson'S last inn
portant message, and as such, it ctfl-
stituted last defiant challenge Of the
master democratic statesman to the
octrine of protection, as cherished
and practiced by his political oppon-
e1ts.

new Congress to convene IN extra-or-

thus obviatng the inconvenience of
delay. 1t will not lack for tasks to
occupy it. or for knotty problems to
solve. The Sixty-sixth Congress left
much work undone. Indeed it is dis

do than for what it and In the final
congested days of its session, it failed
to pass many important measures of
paramount interest. Among them were
the measures regulating the coal in
dustry and the packing industry, the
Budget bill, the Smith-Towner bill for
federal aid to education and the
Sheppard Towner bill for Infant and
Maternity hygiene; other important
measures which it did pass failed of

time for adjournment if the two
ouses of Congress could not them
selves agreed upon time. The Ameri-
can system then, provides for the am
nual assembling Of Congress with such
other sessions as the President may,
within his discretion, call.
The life of congress is for the BIZ
nnial period for which the representa-
tives are elected The first Congress
began its work en- the 4th of March,
1880, and ended on the 4th of March
1871. The legal existence of Con-
gress begins on the 4th of March fol-
lowing the election Of representatives
and ends two years later on the same
date. There is in the Constitution no
prohibitive against the continuous SEES
sion of Congress, and any congress
might stay in session throughout tho
entire two years of its existence. This
however, has never occurred in oul
history. There are two regular SEES
sions of each Congress, called, respect
lively, the "ldlg session" and thC
"short session The long session be-
gins the first Monday of December Of
every odd year and lasts into the latt
Spring or early Summer OF the follow
ing year The short session begins
on the first Monday in December o.
the even year, and automatically ad
joulns on the fourth of the following
March, when its legal existence ex
pires.
The session of Congress which cam,
to an end on the dth of March 1921
was the short session of the 66th Con
rress, and the life of the 9th began
on that date, although normally thu
first session of the new Congress
would mot be held until December
