ABOUT HAVING FRIENDS

There are individuals who seem to
have the knack of making friends while
others in the community stand around and
wonder how they do it.
The answer is easy. The way to
make friends is to be friendly with others,
which means nothing more or less than
doing something for somebody else.
There are lots of people in Key West
who have the idea that the man who has
a great many friends has host of people
doing something for him. The answer is
otherwise. The man or woman who has
many friends has busy time seeking some
service to render others.
If you don't think this is the right
dope try it for about three months and see
where Your experiment lands you.

You and Your

Visualizing Invisibility

Nebraska

, if a candidate for Office would get to
first base.
Wherefore, oul representatives, es-
pecia1ly at the beginning of their ca
reers. often find themselves compro-
missed. if not pledged by assurances
given to various conflicting interests
who now demand their pound Of
flesh. No wonder that, in signing to
serve two or more masters, they di-
please them ala by i'll considered and
inconsistent legislation. And yet, il
the mere voting for wise and good
Representatives does not sufficiently
express the will of the people, which
is composite of many wills, we must
regretfully admit that the visible
government must ever be in close
touch with the invisible, else the will
of the people cannot be ascertained
and obeyed. Thus even democracy
has the defects of its quail ties.
However. in view of the danger of
secret conspiracy against the public
veal, is it not desirable tina any suffi-
GENTLY important group of interests
should come out into the open, de-
clare its policies, assume a name, and
fight for its principles and detectives
without fear or favor. Suppose, for
example. that the labor interests Of
our country. instead of trying to
pledge candidates and bull. repre-
sentativeS, were to form party Of
their own as in Great Britain and
other countries. would it no: give
political radicals a happy home,
purge and strengthen the visible gov
eminent. minimize the evils Of the
invisible. and in general. clarity the
politico-economic situation.
OF course, such movement would
undermine the old and obso-ete par
ties by uniting the relatively conserv-
alive elements on the right and re-
ducing the radicals of every stripe
and shade to their proper places on
the left. | am no prophet but / will
guess that some such alignment will
be formed before very long, that most
farmers and many wage-t arners will
be found on the right. and that the
new organization win not be a real
Farmer-Labor Party, even though il
may temporarily bear that name.

D|NNEEN IS READY
TO QUIT UMP|R|NC
Held Likely to Retire With
Advent of Two Recruits
to A. |. Staff.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS.

TINE American League has lifted
Eddie Rommel. the old Athletic
pitcher. out of the Interna-
- tional League and Bill Grieve
from the American Association to do
blue-coat work on its fields next sea-
son.
Signing of two young umpires au-
tomatlcally means that pair must
be cut from the staff, but Will Har-
ridge refuses to make any announce
ment Of releases until the major league
meetings. 1t is reported that Bill
Dinneen, who has umpired in the
American since 1909. starting imme-
diately after the finish Of brilliant
pitching career, is one who will go.
However. if Dinneen leaves the
American League it will be at his own
desire. Still one of the best arbiters
in the business, Harridge would like
to have "Old Red Neck" for another
season at least. But Dinneen has
been thrifty over his years and may
prefer to make the best lemon pies in
Syracuse rather than expose himself
to the broiling sun and broiling ath-
letes for another season.
Part Of Fixed Plan.
A DVANCEMENT of Rommel and
Grieve to the American is a part
of Harridge's policy of catching UNI
pires young and bringing them up
correctly. Rommel started umpiring
in the New York-Pennsylvania League
on an American League tether. His
work there was so satisfactory he was
| advanced on option to the Interna-
tional, and last summer Tommy Con-
molly, the Americans chief of UNI
pires, advised his advancement to the
majors.
Grieve also came up from the New
York-Pennsylvanta loop. via the as
sociation. where he was regarded as
one of the best In the Red Trautman
circuit
The American League has several
other young umpires coming along in
various minors. Tommy Connolly
manages to get around and see his
neophytes several times each season
and advise them on their work, with
the result that the schooling Is on
definite lines and the American is as
sured of supply of umpires for years
to come.
