and Mr.. Farley, today, regardless OF
the mutual esteem expressions which
will be in their respective letters of
resignation and acceptance, there ex-
lists neither a trace of affection nor
friendship. Instead, there is distaste
distrust and dislike-and has been for
a long time. Mr.. Farley is resigning
from the Cabinet and has refused to
run a third-term fight because of a
profound conviction that third term
is bad for the party and bad for the
country. His support will be perfume
tory and for party regularity reasons
only-and everybody knows it.
80
And the final piece of deception was
in the reasons the President gave for
making the sacrifice" at the "call" o.
his party and because his conscience
would not permit him to shirk this
duty" 1t seems incredible that the
people as whole will not detect the
truth back of those noble words. 1t is
too much to assume that they will not
know that the "call" was a spurious
call, manufactured and arranged by
his holding aides and the four
machine bosses, in whose efforts he
connived by maintaining exactly the
attitude best calculated to promote
their success. The people generally, it
would seem, can hardly help discern
behind those eloquent arguments
about duty, conscience, sacrifice and
"the call" the basic fact-to-wit, that
the immense egotism of the man, COM
bined with the itch to hold on to his
power, has convinced Mr.. Roosevelt
that there is no other individual in
the nation fit to govern it. When all
these things are added up, there seems
solid ground for the apprehensions of
the aforesaid thoughtful Democrats
that awareness of the false pretense
with which the whole third-term effort
reeks will permeate the country. There
is reason to think it has.

They have the better pitching, day
in and day out, to call upon.
Tennis Crop Blighted
Amateur tennis had little left when
Don Bulge retired. With WimbIe-
don and the Davis Cup eliminated,
tennis had to take one on the point
of the chin.
The game is still looking for some
personality-such as Mclaughlin,
Bill Johnston, Bill Tilden, Ellsworth
Vines or Bulge. There is no such
party around at this writing. So far
the crop is colorless.
In baseball, the slump of DiMag-
gio, Dickey and others has been
offset by such pitching stars as
Bob Teller and Buck Newsom.
There is only slight chance that
any hOme-run hitter will reach the
50 mark. Feller has the best chance
to pick up 30 victories and he may
reach this highly desirable spot.
Bob Feller might easily be base;
balls standout for the present year
"a star pitcher hooked up with
leading ball club.
But when you sum up the list the
one outstander-thel lone eagle in the
sporting eyrie-is still Joe Louis.
He is champion of the champs.
And this goes for all the sporting
fields we know today, horse or man,
or man or horse. Not OnlY as a
fighter but in the way he has con-
Quoted himself, Louis is practically
all alone.
Only a big upheaval through The
remainder of 1910 can change this
rating or ranking.
Buck NewSom Rides Again
No one can say that Louis Norman
("Buck') NeWsom hasn't seen his
share of baseball scenery. In the
last IL years Buck has played with
at least II different teams in six or
seven leagues, and here he is today
burning up the American with
varied assortment of wares.
Buck was born in Huntsville, S.
c., 80 years ago. He had to wander
a long time to reach his peak.
His first and tallest upward lunge
took place two years ago when he
won 20 ball games for the Browns.

T. In IluSUdIlu Was oil
unselfish angel, wives
l. wouldn't so often be con-
fused with questions of where
their own duty lay.
If every mother and father
considered their growing chill
dren as individuals, with sepa-
rate entities and rights, how
much simpler the paths of those
children would be!
In short, if men and women
weren't faulty, stupid, blind hui
man beings at all, but strong,
self-reliant, self-sacrificing SUI
per-men and women, my mail
bag would be considerably light
ened of the problems young
wives and sons and daughters
write me, as they attempt to ad-
just life to suit themselves, and
themselves to get along in life.
One of the eternally unsettled
questions is how much a daughter
owes her father and mother when
she becomes a money-earner and
they are settling down into old age.
"Philippa" describes her perpleXi-
ties in a spirited letter.
1--WE been married six years"

four and another baby coming. My
husband is an eye specialist, and
whether that's profession that ac-
tually affects the nerves, or whether
Brownie would be nervous anyway
won't pretend to say, but the fact
remains that he is very often tense,
exhausted and irritable. Not with
me, but sometimes with Browning
junior, or the dinner, or the tele-
phone or a hundred other trif1es.
Mothers At Our House.
"My mother has lived with us
since my fathers death three years
ago. She always had a comfortable
home, two good maids, car, clubs,
garden, everything. All this van
ished with my fathers death, for
he left barely enough insurance to
pay bills, and from the funeral she
came home with me. l have one
brother, but his wife is not congenial
with my mother, and he has four
children and a crowded home.
with a small boy to raise, and a
busy husband whose meals are al
ways movable feasts, I really have
much to do. But Mother is eXacting,
and she will not concede anything.
If friends come in to play bridge
with her they often stay for a long
rubber until dinner time. If she
wants to shop l must 60 with her.
If Brownie speaks sharply to the
small boy, Mother instantly defends
Browning junior, saying that Daddy
has come home cross. If l arrange
a dinner Mother vacillates, first say
ing she will be present, then saying
she may not.
"She often goes down to the kitch-
en- with critical suggestions for
Anna. At the table sometimes she
quietly refuses everything, and
signs. This makes my husband fu-
rious, even though I've told him
that Mother has had a full meal at
someone's tea, an hour earlier. On
every political and social question
they disagree; Mother occasionally
saying softly you're entirely wrong
after it's all over.
Stresses Poverty.
'My mother wants to discuss ev-
cry small move of her life with me,
read me long letters from old
friends, ask me to telephone to make
beauty parlor or club engagements.
A cottage that she owns brings her
in $25 month, when rented, that
is all she has. My husband most
generously puts $50 in the bank for
her every month, and sometimes my
brother manages to add or 10 dol
lars to that. But she talks of her
