You might think that two-fsted fellow
like the steel jack in the picture would
like his tobacco strong. Not at all.
He wants his cigarettes mild and
that's why he picks Chesterfelds.
Mildness doesn't mean smoke that's
weak or fiat or insipid or anything like
that. In fact it's just the reverse. Two
listed fellows as well as anyone else
men and women-want cigarette that's
mild one that satis6es--and that's

We believe that every smoker is look
ing for cigarette without any bite /"

The New Post Office Building.

Plans for the laying Of the corner
stone Of the new Post once Depart
ment Building, in Pennsylvania avenue,
are announced today. The event will
take place on Monday afternoon. Sep
tember rs, a date which approximates
the l43d anniversary Of the founding
of the department. President Hoover
will deliver the principal address, and
Postmaster General Brown and Senator
Smoot also will speak.
1t is interesting to recall that the flrst
public Office of the Government to be
opened in Washington was the Post Of
fee Department establishment. A
three story structure on the northwest
corner of Ninth and E streets north
west. was selected for the purpose, but
only three rooms on the second floor
were needed to accommodate the Post
master General and the eight assist
ants who then comprised the depart
ment staff Assist. Postmaster General
Abraham Bradley, jr, was the first Of
fetal TO arrive. He declared the de-
partment open for business" on May
29 1900. A few weeks later-on June
20. 1so0--the City Post Once was in
augurated on the ground floor Of the
same house. Mr., Bradley and his fam
lily occupied the third floor as living
quarters.

Our Metaphorical Candidates.

Out in Columbus the other day Gov.
Roosevelt gave modern version Of
Alice in Wonderland" to conform to
his version of Republican tactics dur
ing the decline and fall Of the Ameri-
can republic. Friday President Hoover
called on the people OF the United States
to remember that while the battle Of
Chateau Thierry may be over, the bat
tie of Soissons lies just over the hill.
And yesterday in Seagirt Gov. Roose-
welt compared the strategy and the
commitments Of the Republican party
and its candidates on prohibition with
the Oracle Of Delphi, who, seated "at
a place where volcanic gas came forth
from a crevasse In the EARTH" would
utter strange and incoherent words"
when partially stupefied by the poisons
in the gas" With this as a starter,
Gov. Roosevelt used word symbols from
the same vocabulary to tell the rest of
his story.
Somehow the use Of metaphor to IL
lustrate point, together with Gov.
Roosevelts speeches at Columbus and
at Seagirt, suggest the story of the
recruit who was being instructed in
target practice by a lieutenant. He was
taught how to hold the pistol how to
bring the sights into line with the
target and, by slow and steady squeeze
on the trigger, to fire without disturb
ing the aim. The recruit went through
the motions and the oficer approved
his technique with nod. He went
through them again and the lieutenant
again nodded approval. He went
through them third and even fourth
time, when the lieutenant, becoming
impatient, demanded: Shoot, man, 20
ahead and shoot!"
To which the recruit replied, But,
lieutenant, amt got no ammunition!
The issue of the campaign is the
economic issue, Gov. Roosevelt has said
In preparation, perhaps, for later ex-
position Of his economic program, Gov.
Roosevelt at Columbus outlined what
might be done in case another boom is
threatened. At Seagirt he discussed
what he conceives as the obfuscatory
elements of the Republican prohibition
plan. The American people are anx-
iously awaiting the opportunity to
Judge the accuracy of his aim when he
begins to use real ammunition, which
obviously must consist Of facts regard
ing his program OF dealing with the
issue of the day.

SURVIVING LIMITATIONS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN. D. D., IL. D.,
Bishop Of Washington.

fell under the spell of new forces and
new personalities whose ways OF life
were wholly alien to their practice.
Even change in occupation frequent
" results in a change OF habits that
we have long observed. We boast much
of our flxity of conviction, our stabil-
ity and definiteness Of purpose. but
how frequently these are dlsSlpated
when we find ourselves facing circum-
stances and situations that are new
and unfamiliar. 1t is probably safe
to say that the present world disorders.
with their exactionS and stern penalties,
are effecting far-reaching changes in
every aspect of our life. For the while
we have lost confidence in old ideals
and systems that we had come to think
immutable and unchanglng.
Most of us seem to forget that the
best evidence Of our stability and
strength of character is disclosed in
days Of crisis. What We really are, and
what we really stand for in the way
of conviction and faith, is made more
evident in days of trial and adversely
than in days of prosperity and freedom
from anxiety. If what we hold of
religious faith Is not sufficient to sus-
tain us in the day Of our testing and
trial, it Is valueless. We only have to
turn TO the record OF Lne lives OF men
and women who have enriched the
world with their virtue and their genius
to discover that their gifts were never
more luminous or their work more en-
during than when 1t was wrought out
under limitations that were severe and
exacting.
The world at the present time is
passing through a period in which vast
changes are in process and it is dificult
to forecast what the issue is to be. In
the face of this situation, 1t is to be
expected that there are many who have
had their faith shadowed by the pass
ing clouds. Like John in prison, they
are crying out: Art thou He who
should come, or do we look for an
other?" Such people call for the finer
consideration, gentleness and persua-
siveness of the Great Master. They
need to be reminded that, stern as pres
ent conditions are, they are not unique
If the Christian church and those who
have followed the Supreme Master have
risen by the things that were under
their feet" they have come to their
greatest strength, their finest expression
Of faith and devotion through trial and
suffering. 1t Is a great thing to survive
environing limitations or difficult con-
ditions.

tended for strenuous practical use. It
is part Of the plans for the new Wash
ington, but it Is quite as truly part
of the machinery of the Post once
system.
There are many reasons why Wash
ington may rejoice that construction
is to proceed. Work for the unem-
ployed is but one Of the immediate
benefits to be derived from the enter
prise. Better conditions of work for
the department personnel is an ulti-
mate advantage of the plan. But above
all improvement in the service of the
national postal organization is the OBJ
jective intended by the Government.
In other words, the new Post ONCE
Department Building signifies progress,
and progress is an American habit to-
day as it was in 1900.

John heard in prison the works of
Christ" The great forerunner had been
thrown into a dungeon because he had
dared to rebuke a licentious king. The
corrupt household of Herod had con-
spired to destroy the great peacher.
Even his popularity could not save him
from the Vaccinations OF the imperial
household. His preaching had been of
such character that it had drawn to
him great multitudes, but 1t was in
evitable that the boldness of it with
its attack upon the prevailing vices,
should bring him ultimately under the
royal cenSure. Within the restricted
area of his prison his faith in Him
whom he had served was snadowed with
doubts. In his mental anguish ne sent
to Christ two of his disciples, saying:
Art thou He who should come, or do We
look for another?" In response to his
searching query and without word of
cenSure or condemnation, the Master
sent him the message: Go and tell
John the things ye do see and hear"

We are all the victims, more or
less. OF environing circumstances. 1t is
easier to survive the traits of heredity
than 1t is to resist conditions that
environ us. Our observation, our asso-
Citations, our reading, have tendency
to greatly influence our thought and
action. Lord Macaulay once said that
his whole intellectual life was changed
by the reading of one book Others
have found their course accelerated or
impeded by reason Of friendships and
associations they have made or by un-
settling changes in their environment
No matter how strong the influences
OF early life may be, or, indeed, how
strong our commitment to what seem
fixed convictions, we are singularly
susceptible to new impressions that
come to us by reason of changed and

strong characters to change their re-

Hero Medals.
When you're passing them round
To the men who deserve
To be widely renowned
For their generous nerve,
There are names which are missed
From the luminous scroll
Where Is written the list
That Fame loves to enroll.
The man who keeps still
When a story Is told
And who laughs with q will.
Though the matter is old;
The man who says yes
When you ask for a loan;
He Is brave more or less,
Though he fingers unknown;
And the man who goes out
For a holiday fair
With his children about
Nor complains of the care,
And more whom we know
Should be cherished and priced;
They are heroes, although
They are not advertised.

Boloney and the B. E. F.

BY this time the majority Of intelli-
gent persons have made up their minds
one way or the other about the ewc-
ton of the bonus marchers. A good
many of them resent the thought OF
American citizens having been driven
anywhere at the point Of a bayonet. A
good many others feel that the 6itua-
ton calling for the use Of troops was
very realistic one; that once Federal
troops are called out, they must strike
like ton of brick, finish the job COM
pletely and get out. Otherwise, respect
for the Army and lot of other au-
thority that the Army represents would
be lost.
Regardless Of these things, the facts
now speak for themselves. Nobody was
seriously hurt. A dangerous condition
in the Capital was cured overnight.
The bonus army went back where 1t
belonged, which was at home. The
bonus marchers are better off now than
they were when they were here.
Now, with these things in mind, what
good is to be accomplished by produc-
ing such bugaboos as that exhibited
before the New York American Legion
by Assistant Secretary Of War r
Trubee Dawson? This particular buga-
boo is Mr.. Davison's revelation, in q
manner suggesting that it denoted some
fearful significance, that printing press
had been discovered in "a large Eastern
city" and that it was surrounded by
rich evidence that it had been used for
printing fake credentials for synthetic
service men. In other words, the COM
manders of the various bonus camps
who insisted that the veterans must
show their discharge papers were hood
winked by takers who brought discredit
on the uniform that you men wore In
1917 and 1918" 80
Where In the world did Mr.. Dawson
learn all that? From the Army Secret
Service? The Army Intelligence d.
vision knows nothing about 1t, the De-
partment OF Justice knows nothing
about it and the Secret Service knows
nothing about it. Suppose they did?
Suppose they found such a printing
press? Would that make any differ
ence? Were the troops called out be-
cause q printing press was furnishing
veterans with fake discharge certih-
Gates or because q riot was impending
and the local authorities asked for
troops?
Perhaps the reaction to Assistant Sec
retary Davison's new spook was voiced
by the New York Legionnaires. Almost
Immediately after his speech they voted
for the bonus. And II one wishes to
see fuel added to the bonus flames, the
quickest way to do it is to begin the
spread Of fantastic stories about print
ing presses and other such boloney
That, unfortunately, will make two ad-
vocates of the bonus grow where only
one grew before.

The Jansen Portrait.

The news that the famous Jansen
nortrsit Of Shakespeare has been pur-
chased for the Folger Library provides
the people Of Washington and OF the
Nation with a further occasion to be
grateful to the founders and donors OF
that beautiful addition TO the cultural
life of the world.
Apparently there will be many times
when valuable accessions to the great
collection Of Shakespeariana will be
announced, and each will be an ex-
tension OF the original generosity OF
Ny4 and Mrs. Folger and coincfentally

a stimulus to increased appreciation Of
their noble gift.
The Jansen picture is one Of the art
treasures of mankind which has uni
versal appeal but it never before has
been publicly shown. Its owners have
been private individuals whose galleries
were closed to the commonalty. Thus
again is made manifest the steady
characterization of wealth in response
to the impulse toward philanthropic
endowment of culture.
The painting itself would be i'm
nenselv attractive were its theme an
other man than the Stratford poet. But
as a matter of fact it is highly prob
able that it is a reasonably accurate
likeness Of its subject. 1t resembles
the Stratford monument bust and the
Droeshout engraving which were known
to Shakespeare's relatives and friends.
It represents the sort Of character and
personality which is associated with
the poets name. 1t may be the poet
himself. There certainly is no definite
proof that it is not. The picture, there
fore, appears to have particular his
toric value as well as supreme esthetic
merit.
The Library exhibition hall, ma
jestically beautiful room where the
Jansen painting is to hang, now is
open to the public, and hundreds OF
visitors are enjoying the hospitality of
the donors. The institution they
founded is demonstrating its power
of attraction, and their gift is per-
forming the functions they generously
intended.
