There exists a widespread belief
that the passage Of the Fordney-Mc-
cumber tariff bill would ruin the Re
publican party This belief doubtless
is shared in by the Democrats. Since
nothing would cause greater degree
Of satisfaction among the latter than
the ruin OF the Republican party. the
inquiry has been made. why do the
Democrats oppose the passage Of the
bill? No outsider can fathom the
Democrat mind of course but it may
be that the party leaders are I'M
willing to help wreck the opposition
at the cost OF bringing ruin to the
country. The minority can well af-
ford to shoulder all responsibility for
preventing passage OF the pending tar
iff bill. At the same time their eff
forts in that direction, doubtless Sc
cretly are welcomed by a number OF
majority senators and congressman.

JUST FOLKS
THE LoYAL FEW.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

The many are a tickle lot. the plaudits of
the crowd are not
More lasting that the passing breeze
which<blows the clover bloom
Who seek the favor of the throng, seeks
that he cannot hold for long,
Mankind reserves enduring fame to grace
the dead mans tomb.
The throng is tickle in defeat, the thrill
of victory is sweet,
Who wins To-day is all the crowd has
time or love to cheer;
A few brief weeks and once again, a newer
fayorite shall reign,
And he N turn shall be dismissed when
younger kings appear
Who seeks a lasting love and true. must
seek for It among the few,
The nelghborhood wherein he dwelis his
friendship must provide,
Tho fame and victory are sweet, by sorry
failure or defeat
The few who know and understand are
never turned aside.
The few are true thru thick and thin, 70
keep their love one need not win
Their faith stays constant to the end as
when IL first began.
The many cheer and then forget, new suns
arise and old ones set.

unless it be a theoretical point OF
view. and for our purpose we get by
the old formulas and theories with re-
suits virtually identical.
Einstein's work was to account for
discrepancies between reasoning and
observation in certain cases. The dis
crepancies were known, the abstruse
mathematics was in existence. By
making time a factor in the formulas
he has enabled calculation to corre-
spond with observation of facts.
This does not explain the popular
controversy over Einstein. which is
purely as psychological as a popular
war over what Alice found in the
world beyond the looking-gl

In other words, the Einstein theory.

practical application is Jncerned, is

AdaptabiIity--2.

Therefore. If he is wise, he studies
how to avoid getting stung. He learns
how to evade the angles of her tenn
per, how to side step her peculiarities;
how to yield in the small matters that
are so much to a woman; how to shun
the topics that are good for a family
fight, and generally now to stroke her
fur the right way.
1t is women, however who prac-
tically mohopolizeNthe adapting BUSH
ness in natrimoney, for few men ever
think it worth while to take any spe-
cial pains to get along with their wives
agreeably. They consider that 1t is
their wives duty to get along with
them.
Therefore. a woman's success as a
wife depends to a large extent upon
her ability to be what her husband
wants her to be instead of the sort OF
a woman she is by nature. She may
be home staying woman, he the
sort of man who likes to CAD, and
adores cabarets and restaurants. She
will lose him unless she dolls herself
up, and toddles with him. She may
have Tannhauser taste, he Anheuser.
She must come to his level. for he will
never climb up to hers. He may adore
outdoor sports, she loathe them. It's
up to her to decide whether she will
be a golf widow. or the sort of wife
to whom a man can talk golf, than
which there is no closer tie.
1t goes without saying that the at
mosphere of a home is of the wife's
making. She manipulates the barom-
eter. and it is a place of sunshine and
calm, or a perpetual storm center ac-
cording to whether she Is stiff necked,
or supple necked.
If she is of the rigid sort who lays
down a set of regulations for her hus-
band and children that are as I'M
breakable as the laws of the Medes
and the Persians. that home will be a
place of terror which her family will
flee at every chance. She will feel It
her duty to call their attention to all
their faults. She will harp upon their
weaknesses, and bring them to book
see that they may be right from their
standpoint if they are wrong from
hers She will never make allow
ances for any temperament, or temp
tations
But if she has cultivated adaptable
love and life within it a soft and gra-
cious thing. She gives the widest
liberty to husband and children be-
cause she recognizes that they have
the same rights to their individuality
as she has to hers. People say that
she spoils her husband because sha
caters to his 1Shims and fancies, and
meets him upon his own ground.
They do not see that she is a philos-
opher who has solved the problem Of
how to manage a husband, and make
marriage a success.
For it is always she who can stoop,
who conquers, and the woman with
the flexible neck around whose throat
men hang strings of pearls.

 The detail of the exercises will be in charge of the leading military and civic organizations of the state, which has arranged the opening of the cere- monies with the most resp1endent pa rade ever witnessed on Lincoln's streets. Among prominent persons who are on the program for addresses are National Commander Alvin Ows- ley of the American Legion, Texas; General John J. Pershing, Nebraska, and Governor S. R.

War Rumors Increase
 Demand For Diamonds

London, Nov. 10.-The present boom in diamonds in England is at tributed partly to recent rumors of war in the Near East. Experts in the trade say that this prenomenon has been noticed before, and that when political troubles are brewing the bus mess in diamonds revives. Not only in London Is this activity noticeable, but in Antwerp also diamonds have been changing hands in large numbers, somewhat similarly to the trade which occurred at the time of the first Rus sian revolution.
 Another reason given for the dia- mond activity is that new fields are being opened, rough diamonds are coming to hand in larger quantities. and customers want not only the finest sort, but also smaller stones for clus- terS.

 For a time the moguls of baseball ridiculed the idea that the new ball was livelier than those used five years back. That has all been settled. Al the recent world series one of the of- ficials of the factory that manufac- turers all the cork-center( balls used in the majors said:

National Personnel Associa- tion Told That Profcien-

Pittsburgh, Nov. 9.-Mora1 stand ards of American workmen have risen since the war, levels of workmanship are higher and appreciation of prac- tical education has increased, accord ing to a report read today at the second session of the National Person neI Association in annual convention here.
 The report was rendered by the Commmittee on Shop Training. R. I. Sackett, dean of engineering, Penn sylvania State College and a leader in the educational work of the Aneri- can Society of Mechanical Engin is chairman of the committee.
 The resumption of production is proving again that we have a short age of skilled workmen,7 declares the men whom they employ with more discrimination than was possible during the war.
 At no previous time has there been the same appreciation by wage-earn- CTS of the value of practical education which pertains more or less directly to their jobs. There are continuation schools for those under the statutory age limit; there are the trade schools, Y. M. c. A. schools and correspond ence courses. All of these are being utilized and are contributing to the training of the industrial classes, principally the younger portion

How well they succeeded is attested in the fact that by 1754, only IS years after it's discovery, this great animal, 24 to 30 feet long and weighing three or four tons when fully grown, disappeared from the ocean.

The Ganges In Flood
 Inundates Indian Villages

Cawnpore, India, Nov. 1O-The great rise of the Ganges river, which has broken all records of the past 30 years, has led to the flooding of vast districts on the Unao side. Many villages on both sides of the railway line to Unao are under water, and hundreds of hamlets have been wash ed away.
 The floods are on the decline now, but the rains continue 1ntermlttently, making the lot of those rendered homeless still harder. People whose houses have been washed away have taken shelter in neighboring villages, and some have been accommodated in railway cars. Virtually all the will lages situated along the banks of the Ramganga river have been inundated. Houses and cattle have been washed away, and standing crops ruined.
