its performance goes with the native
sons, Of course; yet that does not pre-
clude others, including Americans, from
becoming proficient in the game, Just
as Japanese are becoming proficient

is even possible that foreigners may
surpass the native sons, as the Ameri-

England; and when that time comes
the winning nation must certainly be

FOLLOWING THE LEADER BOY
ISH DAREDEVILTRY.

The foolishness and the foolhardi-
ness Of youth was never more accur-
ately displayed than BY the act Of a
IS year-old boy at Milford, N. H., who,
having "stumpedp the other boys to
jump over the dam in Southegan riv-
er, was himself dared by the other
boys to make the leap as an example
for them and who shouted Il never
back down" as he jumped to his death.
The swirling waters underneath the
dam caught and sucked him down be-
fore the eyes Of the boys who gazed
in terror at the form of the unfortu.
nate youth as it was swept about in
the current and then deposited, life
less, in the still water at one side.
Absolutely foolish, you'll say. And,
indeed, it was. Yet many youths are
almost equally as foolish in taking a
false view of bravery and of the dis
play of that which is thought to be
courage. How many boys, playing the
game. of follow the leader" or some
thing like that. have placed themselves
in jeopardy in silly notion that they
are standing out before their fellows
as brave boys, even heroesi In the
idea that they will otherwise be TAX
en- as towards, they attempt feats that
are impossible, OF well nigh impossible.
Sometimes they come through safely;
sometimes they are severely injured;
some times the fail and are killed,
as in the case Of the misguided
youth at Milford. In nearly any event
they place themselves in imminent
danger The really brave boy is one
who calculates and who measures his
ability to perform ''stunt" and, feel
ing the unnecessary hazard, is courage
Gus enough to face the taunts of his
boy companions providing the com
panions are foolish enough to taunt
him. Foolhardiness is not bravery
that is something every boy ought to
learn.

Senator James A. Reed for renomina-

Of Breckenridge Long was due as much
to desire to rebuke EXPIRES. Wilson's
seeming interference in Missouri poll
tics as it was to desire to give Reed
strong vote Of confidence. Wilson

feat the candidacy Of Senator Reed he
might better have maintained a strict

The prediction of car famine in
the central part Of the country during
next fall and winter seems like far
cry, in view of the very large number
Of idle cars now standing on the tracks
of every railroad in the country; but
the prediction seems more likely Of
fulfillment when one considers that
the great crops of the middle west will
have to be moved about that time, that
the transportation Of coal will reach
the maximum Of the season if the coal
strike is settled within reasonable
time and that the acceleration Of BUSH
ness in general should become more
pronounced by late fall. At the pres
emit outlook there does not seem to be
a pressing need for freight cars; but
conditions may materially alter dur
ing the next six months.

When the name of Rockefeller was
heard, ones mind always reverted to
consideration of John ID. Rockefeller.
Rockefeller was John d. in the minds
Of most Of the people; and it took the
death of William Rockefeller to bring
out to the general public that there
really was more wealthy Rockefeller
than John ID. The late William Rookie
Teller was considerably more wealthy
than his more famous brother, due,
perhaps, in large measure to the fact
that during his lifetime William had
given away comparatively little while
John d. had bestowed millions after
millions on various institutions and
various purposes. The comparison of
the two in this respect reveals what
an evanescent thing mere riches can
be. Both the men gained their inn
mense wealth in the same way to
considerable extent; William had more
money but far less renown than John
d. simply because, during his life
time, William hung onto his wealth
and his brother put much of his pos
sessions to some useful public service.
