HUMANlSMS \
William Atherton Du Puy-

In the Senate barber shop in Washington there
is an ancient colored who has probably
shaved distinguished men than anybody
else in America His name is Sims.
Sims is a preacher among his own people and
was mentioned as a candidate for the chaplaincy
of the Senate, a mention which he took quite
seriously
He used to shave Mr. Harding all the time that
gentleman was in the Senate.
Speaking of going back to the good old days OF
fathers, IL may be said that Sims once IN
sisted on this policy somewhat to the disadvan-
tage OF the Senator from Ohio.
Mr. Harding had not been in the Senate more
than two three years and while he shaved
him Sims moralized on the tendencies Of the
times lamented because the Introduction OF the
direct primary had resulted in a different sort
of Senator, and said the place had run down
sadly since the good old days.
Then he happened to think that Mr.. Harding
was comparatively new in the Senate and tried
to back up.
But the man who was some day TO be PEesi-
dent refused to be reconciled and he and Sims
auarreed about the reflection for months there
after.
The eccentricities of scientists like unto
those of artists, says DR.. Charles f. Bslduan, OF
the United States Public Health Service.
There Is for instance, the classic example Of
DR.. Ellie Metchnikoff; Of the Pasteur institute
caied bacillus of long life. the microbe which
makes buttermiR sour
The doctor was, quite naturally, very particu-
lar about germs One day he was eating grapes
and he was so careful that he washed each
grape separately in his water glass;
Then he drank the water in which he had
washed them
Col E. Lester Jones, chief of the Coast and
ceodetic Survey, who has been making a mighty
reputation as an efficient Government executive
during the last ten years, made his first big step
in that direction by sending telegram from
Alaska to President Wilson
He had gone up there to report on Alaska con-
aitons He wired back that the first necessity
was to map the waterways of Alaska. The only
way TO get in was by water. Boats would not go
In unless they knew where the channels and
where the rocks were located
rho recommendation was made part of the
r,estaents next message to Congress. IL was
the basis for Colonel Jones subsequent ad-
yancement to his present post.

Where Next

ECRETARY WEEKS spoke only

- ECRETARY WEEKS spoke only
plain common sense when he
said that while he, too, hoped
for eventual general disarmament it
would be madness for us to disarm
while nations with which the United
States might have to be at war were
feverishly increasing their arma-
ment.
1t was not necessary for Secretary
Weeks to say that Japan is the ma
ton which he had in mind, but one
does not need to be a mind-reader
to know that Japan was in his
thoughts. Practically every officer
in the army and navy knows that.
Mr. Harding has filled his Cabinet
with men who are both able and
plain-speaking. The Secretary of
the Navy, Mr.. DENLY, does not lag
behind his colleagues in those re
spects, and we are glad of it. There
never was, and there never will be
anything gained by pursuing the
tactics of the ostrich or the clam.
The next great war viii be waged
in the waters and coasts and islands
of the Pacific Ocean, and if we are
mad enough to neglect or to cripple
our naval preparedness we will lose
that war.

To Talk or

!. LBERT HORN, known as Albert
the Silent, is dead. He was a

~ the Silent, is dead. He was a
= = member of the German Reich
stag for foxty-four years and never
made speech. If anybody wants
to erect monument to him please
count us in.
The same newspapers that record
his death tell of the recall of Admiral
Sims and of the widespread criticism
of Ambassador Harvey, both OF
whom made speeches. If Admiral
Sims had not made speech he
would not be recalled, and if Am
bassador Harvey had kept his mouth
shut he would not have raised such
storm of protest.
3 The list of men in public life who
opened their mouths and stuck both
Of their feet into them is painfully
long. The number of men whose
careers were ruined because Of
making speech is greater than the
roster of the Hall of Fame.
Is there moral to be derived
from this situationi Demosthenes
and Cicero, Webster and Clay sur
vive in our memory as great speech
makers, probably because we never
read their speeches or would not be
interested in them if we did. William
Jennings Bryan was great speech
maker, but never seemed to get any
where. The number of successful
orators is painfully out of proper
ton to the number of unsuccessful
ones. ~a 1855
Albert the Silent never got into
trouble. Commodore Vanderbilt
made only one speech that attracted
public attention. "The public be
damned" he said. 1t caused him a
lot of trouble. There are people in
Albany and in Wall street who think
exactly the same thing that Com
tmodore Vanderbilt expressed. They
keep their mouths shut. Ergo, they
keep out of trouble.
Taking it all in all, therefore, it
seems that the preponderanoe of
wisdom lies upon the side of not
making a speech. And yet when
a man comes home late at night and
his wife asks him where he has been
it does seem that he really ought to
say a few words on the subject.
We must admit that it is diff
cult question to decide.
