Croker's Advice. Women Brave? Of
 Course. Mir. Bryan for Genoa. Boy Stalks Boy.
 By ARTHUR BRISBANE

-H By AK HOk bRIo BEANIE Richard Croker is dead. a powerful man, type of the old political fighter, disappearing. He said to politicians; ! Tell the truth. you can always re- member that. Tell lies. and you never can remember what lie you told You will be caught and that { will settle you.s Wise man. Lady Astor says: Men are the weaker sex.' True. all women know fit, but don't say 1t. It is part of their business to say to some man: You wonderful hero.'
 Man hasn't half the courage of woman. Many a mother has 10 chill dren.
 This writer knows one with three, all born through the Caesarian oper- alton. Let any man so through child birth once; he would say: Never again." and after that he would live 'as pure as tho drivelling snow." l A ktOmhn 6uPpO5SQ tO Oo SChAooc- ous, sentenced by the judges to kill himself. lacked the courage. His wife, mere woman" not sentenced Nut fond of her husband. stabbed hseif to the heart and handed the . tiger to her hsuband. saying calm

 I If we sent any man to Genoa the man to send would be MT. Bryan himself. He would say to the as- sembled allies: "Gentlemen. the world Is not round, no monkey was my great grandfather. The sun goes round the earth. which has four cor ners and Is square like myself. Down with Darwin. All shake hands"

 Two boys in their teens ouarreled. agreed to fight 1t out. stalking each Bother with guns in wood outside ElNew York. The younger shot the Holder dead. One in his coffin waits |{to be buried. The other in prison awaits his trial.
 Everybody realizes that if quar- rels were settled in that way. civil- ization would be impossible
 Yet when the Indians ruled here all quarreIs were settled in that fashion. With bows and arrows they hunted each other among the trees like wild beasts. That ia why the whites dis posed of them 50 easily.
 white individuals have learned that such fights are foolish. White na- tions have not yet learned. They fight each other in trenches. from flying machines. submarines. tanks. with poison gas and TINT.
