A Fathers Job.

Not so much Of me in the bank. and
more Of me and Of my best in the lad, is
what should like to have to show at the
end Of my career.
To be the father Of a great son is what
| should call success.
Naturally, should like TO have much

choice | should prefer to leave him so
equipped for life that he would need no

be to leave him sel(-reliant and manly and

This is what ! conceive my job to be.
Most Of US who are fathers now have
said to ourselves more than once that
our children should have some Of the
pleasures of childhood which were denied
to us.
There comes often the time when il is
easier to give than 10 refuse. 1t takes
time to explain; and it is often difficult
to do. Tears flow quickly from little
eyes. Whims ungraiifed are hard to
pacify. To refuse what you can afford
seems strangely stern. Many a father

Senatorial Courtesy.

From the Baltimore Sun.
When it comes to real courtesy and
brotherly love, can any other body Of
men equal the urbanity and fraternity Of
the United States Senate2 Occasionally
in the heat of debate. Senators have been
known to denounce each other in the
choicest billingsgate known to parliament
iary language. Some of them have even
shown themselves so human as to invite
others outside in order 10 demonstrate
how little they thought of them But
such incidents were only superficial. They
did not reveal the depths of poliieness
and family affection which characterize
Senatorial relations. When it comes to
a real test, as in the case Of Senator Reed,
for instance, we see at once how fondly
Senators love each other.
The certificate Of character given the
Missouri Senator Saturday by his Sen
aiorial brothers, Republicans as well as
Democrats, may or may not carry much
weight in Mr.. Reeds State, but it at
least proves tina. Senators are ready to

that if Mr. Reeds denomination depended
upon the Senate, he would win hands

What Others Say

were equivalent TO reelection, the courte.
sy Of the Senate would make it a self.
pcrpetuating body, 'and there would be
few changes in its personnel, excep, BY
death. A touching exhibition, indeed, of
fraternity and good will.
However, whether these tributes were
evoked simply by the spirit Of Senatorial
comradeship, or were in the nature of
political obituaries, it must be admitted
that few Senators have ever received
such bipartisan testimonials in an hour
of need. Even if Missouri should fail to
be impressed, Mr.. Reed can feel that
the Senate has stood by him nobly.

Hearst FavOrs Reed.

From the Chicago Examiner.
Senator Reed is fighting in Missouri
today, as he has been fighting in Wash.
inston fer the last FIVE years. as the de.
fender Of the nation in whose highest
council he has been called TO sit. Above
all questions of party or of faction, he
has held high the flag Of his country.
Whether against Mr.. Wilson and his
League Of Nations or Mr.. Harding and
the 4power alliance, the cloquence and
the leadership of Senator Reed have been
foremost in the battle to keep the United
States free from the fatal web of interna-
iional cntanslemenis
What shall be said of Mr. Reeds op-
ponent? There is nothing TO say except
he champions the cause of Mr.. Wilson's
iniernationalism against Mr.. Reeds pure
Amcricanism.'

 game was introduced into the public schools in modified form and has I,- ready proven popular.
 This was the composite general statement by mem bers of the French tennis team which today started its quest in this country of the classic Davis cup. They visited Braves field yesterday to see the American na- tional game as played by major pro- fessional teams. II was no new ex- perience for Allan H. Murr, Ameri- can-born, who Is captain of the French team, but to Andre Colbert, veteran member and Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra youngsters. 1t was the first glimpse of the game.
 Baseball was introduced into the French schools as a game that is compromise between outdoor and in- door baseball the balls being softer and larger than the regulation bast'- ball. The youngsters are taking to it and in 10 or IS years France should have teams able to meet Am erican competition.
