few, who are disposed to carp AMI doubt may

lations of international law he writes, claw
congresses, and fine speeches have helped
very little for peace. But the situation is
quite different when the chosen leader of the
most powerful State in the world summons
o conference in Washington to approach the
question of disarmament. Then practical re-
suits become possible, and the affair enters
the field of practical life out Of Utopia" After
considering in some detail why Britain,
America and Japan all need sea-strength, the
German authority concludes, cat the same
time, the folly of war is recognized every
where, and doubtless the Washington con-
ference will find a way to avoid another
naval race which could easily lead to war"
There is no tenable reason why an OBJ

dissemble his real judgment. Nor is there

worldwide chorus of approval is heard here
and there churlish bubble concerning the
''constitutionality'' of what is being pro-

executive province, and it is skeptically asked
how guarantees for the carrying-out of his

The first point is but the age-old whine
of reactionaries who can offer no better ex-

the other, the New York World well observes
that "if the conference is capable of reach
ing an agreement for the limitation of naval
armament it is certainly capable of reaching
an agreement for the necessary guarantees.
Much, be it granted, must be left to good
faith But have not the United States and
Great Britain for more than one hundred
years kept faith with one another in their
armament pact concerning the Great Lakes
and the thousands of miles of Canadian
boundary? The question of guarantees, how
ever, may well be left until the larger and
more difficult problem Of the agreement it
self is settled. To raise remote or fanciful
objections while the great business of trying
to tighten world-crushing load and prevent
a woodworking catastrophe goes forward,

VICE-the adjectives and the capitals are
hers-tl1at is bestowed upon newlyweds.
She says that she is overwhelmed and
dazed by the conflicting counsel that has
been given her, and that Numerically OPP
posed are the various theories Of how to be
happy though married that have been thrust
upon her by different well-meaning friends
that she would not know which prophet to
follow, even if she were seeking advice on
the subject, which she isn't. Quite the con-
trary.
She has been told, she says, that it is the
duty of a wife to be meek, and mild, and
patient and forbearing in her attitude
towards her husband She has also been as
sured that wife writes her own price tag,
and that she gets from her husband only
what she makes him give up, and that a
foxy wife let's her husband monopoliZe all
the meek, mild patient business while she
remains perched upon the pedestal on which
he installed her in the days Of courtship.
One woman advises her that the way to
help her husband get on is by being thrifty,
and industrious, and economical. Another in
forms her that the real recipe for making
a husband hustle is for his wife to be such
good spender that he has to get into high
speed to keep up with her bills.
One woman tells her that the way to
keep a husbands affections is my making
corns on her hands cooking him good things
to eat. Another tells her that If she de-
sires to keep her husband interested in hold
ing her hand, she must keep it in nice,
squeezable condition
One woman tells her that she must use
suavity, and TACT and diplomacy in dealing
with her husband. Another is all for a good
rough-and-tumble fight, and going to the
mat over every topic on which wife and
husband happen to disagree.
One school of thought among wives be-
lieves in making pampered household pet
of hubby The other visualizes him as the
family beast of burden, and a cash register.
And so it, goes Each woman has her own
creed as to the best method of dealing with
her husband, and, curiously enough, though,
there are precious few wives who make such
a shining success of the matter that they
have qualified as epxerts, and are entitled to
speak with authority upon it, none hesltates
to lay down the law upon the subject.
One of the things that every woman thinks
she knows how to do is how to manage her
husband, and the fact that she has made
disastrous bungle of her attempt at it in her
own case doesn't shake her faith in her
theory. or cause her to refrain from trying
to pass it on to Others.
Perhaps this is natural enough. Perhaps

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
MILLIONAIRE
By DR.. Frank Crane

1t seems to be the working out of destiny
that the surplus Of wealth accumulated
should be disposed of by millionaires.
Every generation amasses more wealth
than it needs. The ides of this surplus be-
ing handled by the government as the rep
a socia1istic dream. At present the susie
nance of our institutions and the where
withal for propagandas of progress must
come from individuals.
Millionaires are not very imaginative. They
are creatures of custom. They bestow their
gifts, therefore, almost entirely upon exist
ing institutions.
When man dies and leaves $50, 900, 900
he usually, if he is benevolently inclined,
donates it to universities, missionary socie-
ties, libraries, churches, and the like.
This is good There is no question but
what it is better than the old plan Of using
ones fortune to endow a family of noble
idlers.
But the trouble is that institutions grow
old. Very many of them are senile. And In
stead of helping along the welfare of man
kind, they distinctly impede it.
There is one direction which is hereby
recommended to all millionaires who may be
looking about for some way to use their
money for the best interests of the human
race
And that is, to endow The School Repub-
lie. The School Republic is simply move
ment to begin the improvement o. the human
race at the place where it ought to be be-
gun, that is, with the child.
We have an institution now called the
Public School, which is vaster and more po-
tentia1 in it's possibilities than any other in
stutition in the world.
The Public Schools have more to do with
determining the future Of the nations and
Of mankind than any other organization.
And it is very largely in the grip OF the
yuyoru-out idea of autOcraCV.
Schoolrooms are little Prussias and school
teachers are little kaisers.
What children ought to learn and to be
drilled in from the kindergarten to the last
year in the university is above all things
Self Government.
The School Republic is movement to
teach Self Government to children.
It is supported and favored by those who
believe in Democracy, not only with their
mouth but clear down to the soles or their
feet.
1t is the only movement that is utterly
and 100 per cent Democratic.
The School Republic proposes to make
every school a little replica of the United
States. to show the children row to elect
their own officers how to make their own
laws and how to obey them.
It proposes to drill the children in De-
mocracy and in Citizenship so that when
they come out of school they will not de-
spise politics; but will be trained and en-
| thusastic politicians, equipped to govern
| themselves, to take an interest in public al
fairs, and by means of the education that
| they have received to make this nation not
a collection of poor boobs, managed by
shrewd office-seekers, but in all reality

and for the people,"

four-year- old who was taken to kindergar-
ten for the first time was allowed to slide
down the chute in the playground. Finally
the teacher called TO him to join the other
children in a game.
"Oh, want to slide down here,' the young
ster protested.
The teacher adjusted her most sympathetic
tone to say, "But we are going to do some
thing else now"
ooh, don't mind,' said the magnanimous
baby, returning to his slide.

"Not half such a fol as I'd look trying to

TO INFLUENCE OTHERS
By H. Addington Bruce

= N Mrs. Douglas Robinson's recently pub
\ lished book, "My Brother Theodore
| A Roosevelt" there is a passage of special
significance to all who would for any reason
exercise influence over other people. Writ
ing of President Roosevlts manner of re-
ceiving guests at official functions, Mrs. Rob-
inson notes.
almost always he would have some spe-
cial word for each, and although the long
line would not be held back, for he was so
rapid in speech that the individual welcome
would hardly take a moment, still almost
every person who passed him would have
had that extraordinary sense that he or she
was personally recognized and there
was Immediately established personal sense
of relationship"
And with reason Mrs. Robinson comments:
Perhaps that was of all my brothers at
tributes the most endearing-namely, that
power of his of injecting himself into the
life of the other person and of making that
other person realize that, he was not just
an Indifferent lump of humanity, bat a liv-
ing and breathing individual coming in con-
tact with another individual even more
wildly alive"
Now, President Roosevelt could not have
done this had he not been sincerely and
keenly interested in people.
And in innumerable cases it Is precisely
because such human interest is lacking that
men and women have to confess themselves
for so much in the exercising Of personal in
fluence.
Obviously, people cannot we'll be drawn
to one who permits or causes them to feel
that their existence, their problems, their
cares, and their joys are Of no moment to
him. This is the feeling which many uncon-
sciously create by their fashion of dealing
with others.
They create it, moreover, because they &C
tually give little or no thought to other
peoples affairs. Then habitual mode of
thinking is either too self-centered or too
abstract and impersonal to permit their do
ing so.
AS result, no matter how gifted and
worthy they may be, they fail to command
the sympathetic attention Of those with whom
they come into personal touch. Nor can they
command this unless and until they cultivate
the precious quality of feeling with" others.
Such quality can be cultivated to high
degree In Mr.. Roosevelt's case it was sedu-
lousy cultivated in him from early boyhood
by his remarkable father But it is suscepti-
BILE of self-cultivation even when one is well
advanced in years.
All that is essential to its cultivation is a
resolute determination to become Interested
~ observant of ones fellow beings. Out of
such observation will little by little grow
the greater sympathy wherein is grounded
that intutive handling of others which is
fundamental to personal influence.

Was
a Great Success

The five days Chautauqua program
in this city closed Saturday night,
and that it was considered to have
been a success is evidenced by the
fact that the contract for next years
performance was perfected before the
final program had been given. Large
audiences were in attendance at every
performance, all of which were either
entertaining or edifying and instruc-
tive. Some splendid talent was in this
manner brought to our city that
could not otherwise have been secured.
One of the outstanding attractions
of this years program was Edna
Means, reader of charming person.
ality and unusual mastery of her art.
Her performance will long be pleas
antly remembered by all who heard
her. But by far the most interesting
and instructive number on this years
program was that given by Montra-
vile M. Wood, an inventor of consid-
cradle note, who exhibited and ex-
planned many of his truly remarkable
inventions. His demonstration of the
gyroscope, of which he is the inventor,
was particularly interesting. and in
dicated that there is still a wide field
of usefulness yet to be opened up for
that marvellous invention.
Even the underwriters of the Chau-
tauqua were so thoroughly satisfied
with the performances generally that
most of them willingly signed up for
another year, even though they were
forced to "dig up" $5'each in order to
make up the deficiency this year.

that he understood Pitts was in the

around for the man wanted, ~and soon
discovered lad. apparently not more
than 20 years old, of that name. He
also discovered that his conduct since
he had been in Flat River was not
above suspicion, he having been
charged with having held up several
craps games while there.
He was brought to Pennington
Wednesday afternoon and Deputy
Sheriff Giles Hunt called up Sheriff
Oliver and told him Pitts was under
arrest here, and should he hold him.
The Carter county Sheriff asked that
the prisoner be held for him and he
would start at once. And he surely
did come Immediately, arriving here
by automobile the same evening,
which must have required a trip of

Sundays Game
Was a Slugfest

The Elvins baseball team opposed
the home team in game Sunday af-
ternoon on the Yeargain grounds. The
visitors came with reputation that
their game failed to justify. From the
beginning it was regular slugfest
for Pennington. Gordon and Lavar
we're the box artists for the visitors,
and after the fourth inning Gordon
was supplanted by Lavar. who was
said to have big league ambitions.
But if he had any such ambition, the
manner in which Pennington pounded
him Sunday perhaps gave him a new
slant on such prospects. Often did
the home team bat around in an in
ming, and appeared to be retired more
from physical exhaustion than from
the ability of their opponents.
Up to the eighth inning Elvins was
held down to two runs, neither of
them being deserved. In the eighth,
however, through a series of costly
errors, the visitors scored several
times, and in the last inning the per-
formance was similar, so that the final
score was 16 to 10 in favor of Farm
ington. 1t was Valle's home run in
the fourth that caused the visitors to
supplant Gordon with Lavar, but
such change hardly diminished the ex-
ecution of the Pennington batsmen,
who scored 18 hits to for the visit.

Games Here Sunday and Labor Day

here Sunday, when an interesting and

Irondale registered one of the few de-
feats of the home team two weeks

While a game for Labor Day has
not yet been arranged, efforts are be-
ing made to stage double-header on
