Agitation for return to part.
lines and party affiliations is becom-
ing stronger everywhere. There is
rapidly growing up the feeling that
public officials should have parry
responsibilities and party support
Elihu Root looks at it this way:
There are many thoughtless
people who think it is fine thing
to see a man rise and declare his
independence of everybody else.
He appears to be noble and
! heroic figure, defying the lightn-
ing. 1t frequently makes man
very popular, but the public SER
vice requires that, instead of a
mans insisting upon having his
own way in everything, he should
render as sacrifice to the inter-
ests of his country his private OPP
inion, his personal vanity, and his
notions and opinions as to all
minor differences which may sep
arate him from his party"
tt t.
For many years we have been told
that it is only the uneconomical and
the INDECENT housewife who does her
household ordering by telephone. So
insistent has this thing been reiterat-
ed that the majority Of us have quite
overlooked the possibility of there be-
ing any other side to the question.
But now comes a New York woman
with another angle of the matter to
present. An exchange tells of this
woman thus.
Claiming that in more than
score of years she had never car
ried a bundle, set foot in gro
Gerry store, seen clerk nor been
caught in crowd while market
ing, Mrs. George Elliott, wife of a
prominent Brooklyn, N. Y, mer-
chant, says that she has saved
286 days in twenty-five years OF
housekeeping. 81 have tele-
phoned every ORDER" says Mrs.
Elliott. 81 think 1 have saved
an hour day, six hours a week
a total of 1854 hours or 268
days. This has enabled me to do
many things more enjoyable than
the humdrum of marketing, and
the monetary value of the time
saved is not less than 1852"

DR.. ]. w. Taylor, now pastor of the
Mortified Methodist Church address
ed the Kiwanis Club of that city on
Lincoln's birthday and the closing
paragraph of his talk marks the high
tone of the whole address.
Endlessly removed from these
as the stars above the clouds,
stands William the Silent, Carl
baldi, Cromwell, and our own
great Washington. There are
thousand great men, but why
should l name thousand! If
you should pluck thousand
lilies from a field, one would be
winter than the rest, and have
most gold at heart; if you
should fetch thousand pearls up
from the sea, one would CLEAN
brighter, best. By the transpar-
ency of his public life, by the gold
of lis heart, by the love he bore
the common people, Abraham Lin
coin stands first among the pat
riot martyrs of the centuries.
The above paragraph was taken
from the report of Mr.. Taylor's adj
lress as published in the Mortified
News. In the editorial columns of
this same issue of the News appear
ed this little comment on DR.. Tay-
lor's talk.
Epigramatic definition of an
educated man has been attempted
by many, but rarely do these des-
criptions ring as true as this one
from DR.. j. w. Taylor:
can educated man must be
able to know accurately, to rea-
son clearly, to judge kindly, to
argue convincingly, to grow
steadily, and to live loyalty
DR.. Taylor applied these stan
dards to Abraham Lincoln and
found him to be an educated
man.
