BANDITS and boys.
in my boyhood the most glamorous
figure in boy land was Jesse James,
the Missouri bandit. His exploits m j
robbing 'oar.ks and holding up railroad j
trains were celebrated n .song and j
story and when Sob Ford shot him I
most American boys felt that a hero
of romance was dead Yeats later,
I get to know his brother Frank who
was a partner in many of his escapades.
He said there had never been ?
a minute of his life that he .had not
bitterly regretted his youthful sire*,
and be deplored especially the bad
effect the example ot himself and
J2LS u rot tier nau nf.i upon uupresssstet
of wrong-beaded but quite unlonable

I see signs that some of the same
dcrstandabio hero-worship may preserve
the memory ->? John Di:linger
Boys erv still boys. They admire
courage S.i;i dar-'-deviitry, without
moralizing much about the objects ,
or the Olives of the men they c
aider "brave." I dq not think modern
boys are any worse than boys v. ere
fn my youth or more easily mlduenc- :
ed.
it is human nature to regard the 1
outlaw with a InifraUon. He had the
courage to defy authority and every 1
boy in his secret heart wishes he iia<l ;
the ncrv to cut loose from the re- ^
strain ts which partrntaF^'abu sch'.'ol j^
(iisciplinv impose upon him. That, i j rf

I look for little, improvement m
politics imcicr our present system,
which makes it incumbent, upon leaders
to go to the people for reelection
every two or four years, and keeps
them ir. office for a stated terra, no
matter how incompetent or irresponsible
they may iurh out to be

longer Ihan lie has the confidence of
the nation, represented in the House

I don't imagine we will ever change
our system m radically as to follow
the English method, hut C do know
that many people are beginning to
recognize the faults inherent in our
way ot doing things and ( look for a
gradual elimination of some o: the

WISDOM .... then anil now.
I was reading some of Benjamin
Franklin's letters the other day. I was
especially impressed by one he wrote
to an Englishman who had askeu him
about opportunities in America, hack
in lTS.b. Among other things he warned
people against coming to America
in the expectation of getting a
chance at a lucrative public office.
The constitution of Pennsylvania,
Franklin pointed out as typical of
the whole, provided that no public
office should have a salary or stipend
attached to it large enough to make
anyone want the job for the sake of
the money reward! How different
public affairs are run today.
I have an idea that one way to
cure a lot of the evils of politics would
be to cut off all official salaries to
the point where anyone competent to
fill them could make so much more

would have to be dragooned into taking

SERVICE . . incentive lacking
Public service as a career rather
than as a means of putting money
into one's pocket has not appealed
strongly to the great mass of American
young men. The national standard
of success has been measured in
dollars instead of in the social value
of the individual's life.
I think there is an increasing tendency
among young men of high ability
to prepare themselves for governmental
posts, but I see no signs
B&'-f-,';- of any change in the system of throw
ing all the best men out when a new
party takes charge of things and fillU
ing their places with those whose
> ' chief qualification is their partisanship.
