Dinner Stories

The other night a young man was
visiting his best girl, and he stayed on
and on until she became very sleepy
indeed. Also she had to work the
next day and thought it time to give
him a hint that it was time for him
to go home. Finally she said:
Don't you think you had better
telephone for a taxi to go home in
It's so late now and there have been
several robberies out in this part OF
town after midnight
The young man was visibly pleased
at her suggestion.
"Oh, yes, please do" he returned
I'm not afraid, but the taxi will take
me home so much faster than I can
walk and I can stay at least an hour
longer"

TRIUMPH.

TRIUMPH.
When all is said and done
And the battles lost or won,
It's the laughter of the children
And the mothers gentle smile,
It's the pride of those you know,
Good old friends who love you 50,
That make the prize worth having
And the victory worth while
Back of every golden dream,
Every engine kissing steam.
Back of every hammer falling
And of every deed men dare;
Back Of every tilt and fight
Is the coming home al night
To the loved ones who are waiting
In the victory to share.
'Tis not in success alone
That achievements worth Is known.
If we had no friends to cheer US
And no one at home to care;
II mans glory as a fighter
Did not make a few eyes brighter
He would cease to try for conquest
And would never do or dare.
Back Of every man you'll find
Loving hearts who stay behind,
Watching. waiting, patient, loyal
As he strives to meet the test,
And the thought which drives hiIn daily
Is that they shall meet him galy,
And shall glory in his triumph
On the day he does his best

viii be no tariff legislation, at least
this year. Mr.. Hays says that ways
and means must be found not only
TO finance but to stimulate imports"
Leaders of the majority party seem to
have heard from the country. The
message must have been unmistakable
in tone in order to cause them to give
up the long cherished plan to enact a
high protective tariff law. The first
step in the revised program was
taken when the revenue bill was given
precedence over the Fordney bill.

A movement has been started hav-
ing for its object the teaching of~the
constitution of the United States in
the public schools. Many good rea-
sons could be adduced against It.
Among these is the fact that the
schools already are overloaded. An
other is that the constitution, like the
Bible, is so plain that anybody can
acquire a good working knowledge OF
It without help. Those who seriously
study the provisions of the constitu-
ton frequently do so with the purpose
of finding way to evade its provi-
sions.

In a recent parade of former SOL
diers in st. Louis, banners were carried
complaining that enforced idleness
was their reward for having offered
their lives for their country's flag. 1t
is true that many veterans are idle,
but so are many who did not engage
in military services. Business depres-
sion is no respector of persons or
classes. Any attempt of the govern
ment to remedy conditions would but
serve to make them worse.

While the government has been
making slight reductions in its bonded
debt its floating debt has been grow
ing rapidly. The secretary of the
treasury is planning to cover the def
cit by issuing treasury notes bearing
a higher rate of interest than those
which have been redeemed. How do
the taxpayers like that kind of
financiering?

The assembly of the league of ma
tions is holding another session in
Geneva. Nine American republics, all
members of the League, are conspicu-
Gus by the absence of their represen-
tatives. It is apparent that the coun-
tries of South and Central America
are looking more to the Monroe doc
trine for protection of their interna-
tional interests than to the league.
Probably they never would have en-
tered the league had they not expected
the United States to become a mem
Der, and had every reason to believe
fhat it would do SO.
