THINK 1T OVER
Tell Him About 1t.
By William Mather LeiUis.
President George Washington University

A leading Washington merchant
now has the congratulating habit
Whenever he sees in the newspaper
that a fellow townsman has done
worthy public service or has received
merited honor he drops him Il
friendly note. Although he has writ
ten many hundreds of these, they
never lack tone of sincerity and
enthusiasm. And the recipients hold
their heads a little higher on the day
the letter comes.
The congratulating habit Is a good
one to cultivate. Many men who add
to our enjoyment of life never re-
ceive words of commendation. Have
automobile trip. during every mile of
which the engine ran like velvet and
the car rode like hammock? Write
the manufacturer and tell him he is
producing something worth while.
Have you read a novel with peculiar
enjoyment? Take time to thank the
author for the recreation he has pro-
vided. Does the sermon help you
solve a problem and face the new
week with confidence? Stop and tell
the minister about it. Heaven
knows he gets little enough en-
couragement from the stolid pew
holders!
1t Is no mere accident that radio
announcers urge the unseen listen
ers to send a postal with a word of
praise concerning some successful
number. Kind words do butter pars-
nips. They oil the machinery of
days labor. Get the congratulating
habit. 1t is perfectly safe; there will
never be a constitutional amendment
against 1t. 1t is simple, sane way
OF adding to the sum Of the world
happiness.

The Human F1y.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Johnny Meyer, incumbent possessor
Of the title Human Fly" about to
sail for Europe, muses. over the life
he has led and the career that lies
ahead of him. There was a time, he
recalls, when he was a prizefighter,
and another time when he was a
soldier. and still another time when
he was a smokestack cleaner But
then he discovered that he could
climb buildings with his finger nails
"nd life became rosy. Fame, riches.
sase!-what more could a man wish?
Now he is going to Europe to climb a
few score oathedrals and battle monu-
ments, and shortly he will return to
sell many bottles of nerve tonic, and
just loaf around, taking 1t easy and
allowing the more reputable uniVersi-
ties. such as Yale, Harvard and
Princeton, to confer honorary degrees
upon him until the parchment runs
out.
Well, we agree with him. he has
career. But, so far as we are con-
cerned, he can have it. We go
further and beseech him to go back
to the prizef1ghting business. The
trouble with the title of Human
Fly" is that it is vacated in just one
way-you go up, and then you come
down faster than you went up. But,
If Mr.. Meyer persists, we engage to
write a very moving piece about it
on the day when he becomes the
former Human Fly" 1t will wind
up with the simple but affecting
words. Gone, but not forgotten; may
he rest in peace"

DevastatOrs of His Day.
From the New York Times

from tne New YORK IlmeS.
Secretary Mellon in Paris acts like
a man who knows how it is himself.
During his years at the Treasury he
must have encountered many times
individuals who didn't want anything
and hadn't anything to say" but who
could not resist the impulse just to
drop in at the Secretary's office and
pay their respects" And not un-
known to the Secretary must be the
impressive gentleman who gets in at
q busy time merely for the sake of
giving himself the pleasure and honor
of taking you by the hand"
AS if having learned in suffering of
this kind an example which he would
set to others, Mr.. Mellon, who had
ceremonial calls to make in Paris, at
least had the grace to cut them short.
He seems to have divided up his day
into nicely planned fractions. With
the prime minister he spent 18 min
utes. His visit of courtesy to the for
eign minister, M. BRAND, consumed
only 9 minutes. This left him IS
minutes in which to inspect the
Gobelin tapestries. Then he must
have breathed a sigh of relief with a
sense of duty done by all the public
curioSities.
Public men in all countries are sub

day. Perhaps Americans are not sim
ners above all others in this respect,
but they undoubtedly sin grlevously.
Various plans have been suggested
for relieving high officials from some
of their routine and irksome work. If
ever there was a case for a double"
for a statesman, it would be when he
has to stand at the receiving end of a
line of visitors who simply want to
gaze upon the great man as If he were
an animal in a cage.

From the Dayton Daily News.

from the Dayton Daily News.
For fear it might escape your
notice. at ention is called here to the
total absence of that sos signal out
of the golden West, to which cur ears
have become accustomed-the call
for harvest hands. And if you will
do little Investigating, you will also
be impressed with the fact that that
call has been growing more and more
feeble for the past several seasons.
1t isn't because the wheat crops are
smaller. for they are not; in fact, this
years harvest is one of the heaviest
in the history of the United States.
1T isn't because the back to- the
farm movement, at one time the Ma
tion's leading problem" has met
With popular favor, and that a vast
army of former rural residents have
put aside the white lights for the
good old kerosene lamp. Not at all.
Two things have served to drown
out, and make unnecessary, the an
nual cry for harvest hands in the
wheat fields of the West and Middle
West-the automobile and improved
harvesting machinery. There never
was a time when a dearth of farm
help existed, but it was not until
the auto came that this labor could
get to the wheat fields when it was
most needed. Today the auto makes
the wheat fields of Kansas but a
skip and a jump. so to speak, from
every corner of the Nation, and
within two or three days after word
is sent out that the grain Is ready for
harvest a steady swarm of f1ivvers
litters all roads leading to the grain
belt, and makes the cry for more men
unnecessary.
Improved machinery, too. has come
to assist in solving the Nations har-
vesting problems.

x x x
SO away we go, the gallant bus
driver. the beautiful lady, pink or
otherwise, and a few assorted pas
sengers that do not count.
There is something electric In the
air. This trip is out of the ordinary.
We all feel it. The driver is aware
of it, the lady knows it, the rest of
us feel it,
DO or die" is our motto. as we
speed up the street, grazing the side
of the taxi. whose chauffeur yells
out term of derision.
We mentally shrink at what we
mistakenly think our hardy driver is
going to say, but we are very much
mistaken.
GO to thunder" he yells, with
deft concern for the lady, as we go
laundering by. leaving the taxi man
hopelessly in the rear, both as to
distance and repartee.
GO to thunder has become, all
of sudden, tout a coup. as the
French say, a phrase of great
moment. 1t was the proper response
at the right moment, and especially
under the circumstances. Especially
under the thrilling circumstances.
We turn into another street. put
ting on speed, for we hope to plunge
into the open space ahead before the
line of cars from the other direction
closes in.
1t was not to be. Here is q great
garbage wagon parked solldly in our
way, broadcasting swinish odors, In
sulting both to men and fair ladies'
The collectors are taking their time
about it, too. Will ihey not hurry
up? No. they will not. How do they
know that a beautiful lady wants to
catch a transfer bus, otherwise she
will have to wait for an hour?
Think of that dread possibility
men of toll, and hustle up with those
big tin cans on your shoulders, and
dump that garbage, and pull out Of
there.
At last we are free. Our driver
steps on it. juggles a few levers, and
we are on our way. The old bus
makes pretty good time. Our driver
looks at his watch, shakes his head
1t is a difficult task, but if any man
on earth can do it
Well, what's the matter now? Here
we are at busy street, with a
street car line, and traffic both ways.
And there Is a fellow in a neat road
ster, calmly sitting in his soft seat.
without making any move to go on.
What's the matter with him? Is he
asleep?
An irate taxi driver jumps out of
his cab, runs forward. Move on,
with your old wreck" he commands,
pointing with scorn at the shiny
roadster.
The man sits immovable. He does
not hear the taxi driver. He ignores
him.
Angrily the chauffeur returns to
his cab. "Well, l never saw any man
like that" he says, in mingled tones
of disgust and wonder. Just won't
move"
Suddenly, however, the man starts
up. then we all start up. Trium-
phantly we put on our best speed, and
dash on block after block.
The circle comes into view. There
comes your bus, lady" says our
driver. He has done it. He has got
the lady to her bus on time! He
deserves another smile-and gets it.

long since been settled satisfactory.
1t scarcely seems probable that VIC t..

Democrat in his stead, merely to feed
fat their desire for revenge upon an
Individual. If belief in principles Of

that they are not fitted for suffrage.

Wadsworth and the Suffragists.

Political enemies of Senator James
w. Wadsworth, who is soon to seek
reelection at the hands of the voters
OF New York. are attempting to cap
3taliZe an ancient dislike of woman
suffragists for the Senator, a dislike
which grew out Of his opposition to
the adoption of the suffrage amend
ment to the Federal Constitution. In.
deed, the opposition of Senator Wads-
worth to the two latest amendments
to the Constitution. prohibition and
suffrage. is the real source Of his pres
ent danger. II the women and the
drys of the Republican party, in seri-
Gus numbers. align themselves either
with Franklin w. Cristman. who is to
run as a bone dry, independent Re.
publican. or Justice Robert F. Wag-
ner, the choice Of the Democrats for
the senatorial nomination, the Wads-
worth goose will be we'll cooked on
November 2.
Senator Wadsworth should be given
credit for acting frankly and
courageously upon the suffrage
amendment to the Constitution at a
time when political expediency would
have dictated a friendly attitude to-
ward this measure. No man in the
Senate has a record more free from
the charge of political self-seeking or
a record Of greater independence when
called upon to pass upon principles
of government. He has used his best
Judgment. and II he has been mis-
taken he has been honestly mistaken.
Men with the courage of their con-
victions are more valuable to the Sem
ate and to the country at large than
men who swim ever with the tide.

nomination, remains under the rule in
q position to prevent an unsatisfac-
tory nomination. Will the South yield
its advantage. which in the existing
political circumstances is its main
asset?
Repeal Of the two-thirds rule does
not necessarily mean that a deadlock
will be impossible under a majority
rule. It would be calculated to en-
courage favorite-son candidates., to
enlarge the field of aspirants for the
nomination. and thereby to divide the
vote Of the convention SO that none
would get the necessary number on
at least the early ballots. Short of a
concensus in favor of a single popular
candidate, as in the case of Cleveland
in 1884 and again in 1892, and Bryan
in 1900, a deadlock is quite as likely
to result under the majority as under
the two.thirds rule.

It is known that the friends Of Gov.
Smith favor the change. Indeed, the
movement has been attributed chiefly
to them.
These next fifteen months will prob
ably see much maneuvering for and
against repeal of the two-thirds rule.
Combinations will be sought, but COM
binations made in advance of conven-
tions are unstable factors in the politi-
cal equation. Tradition is a powerful
influence, and If there is one tradition
that the Democratic party has stead
fastly maintained and observed and
respected it Is that its candidate must
be the choice of more than a mere
majority Of its representatives in con-
vention assembled.

The Two.Thirds Rule.

Prediction is made by the Iowa
members Of the national Democratic
committee that the next Democratic
convention will abolish the two-thirds
rule and operate in the selection of
candidates on the majority basis. Mr..
Herring and Mrs. O'Neill have issued
a statement showing that forty-eight
members of the committee have
pledged themselves for the adoption
Of the majority rule, and predicting
that an overwhelming majority of the
convention vote in 1928 will be behind
the movement.
The two-thirds rule has been re-
pealed on several occasions between
conventions. but the repeal has never
been effected by the conventions. This
time there may be some basis for the
optimism of those who would like to
see the deadlock rule of pro-
cedure abandoned. IL forty.eight
members of the national committee,
nearly one.half under the new ar
rangement Of two votes for each State
and territory, have pledged themselves
for the change the majority rule advo-
Gates may get a recommendation from
that body a, its meeting in Decem--
Der. 1927. in preparation for the con.
vention. But their minds may change
in the next fifteen months. A great
deal depends upon the candidate situ.
alton when the committee meets.
And. Furthermore. a committee recon-
mendation does not necessarily bind
the convention. which is the judge of
its own rules.
The chief strength of the two-thirds
rule as a Democratic institution lies
in the veto power Of the South, which.
not being in o position to dictate the
