ao not know if it would suit our purposes, but I
would be glad if it ^ould U adopted and^a^Sd lo
BY AU NATIONS AS A UNIVERSAL LAN
GUAGE. It would especially help Asiatic peoples,
who now hare to learn English, French, German, Italian, and so on.
Of course I would like to see Chinese adopted universally, for 1
think our language is the philosophical language, but I do not think
there is much chance of it, and so if Esperanto can be agreed upon I
should be glad. Life is too short to learn so many foreign languages.
If Esperanto ia not adopted, then I think we must come back to the
English language. It is now well known in Asia and in the greater
part of Europe, but I would liko to see some improvement in tiic way
of «|telling and prononneiation. ’
I THINK THAT IF THE DIFFERENT NATIONS ONLY UNDER
•TOOD EACH OTHER* LANGUAGE ALL DIFFERENCES OF OPIN
IONS 'COULD EASILY BE SITtLEO. , CHINA, I KNOW, IS NOT
SEEKING TROUBLE WITH ANY OTHER NATION. IN NINETY-NINE
CASES OUT OF A HUNOREO WHERE THERE HAS BEEN TROUBLE
IT HAS ARISEN FROM MISUNDERSTANDING. IF YOU ' WANT PER
^ETUAL BBACE I THINK A COMMON LANGUAGE WOULD BE A
BREAT FACTOR TO THAT END. *
Graft Permeates
} Our Government.
c »» Or- G. FRANK LYOSTON of Chlcaso.
Graft it an ancient institution, it was recognized
AS SUCH IN ABYSSINIA TWO THOUSAND YEAR8 BEFORE
THE CHRISTIAN ERA. ' THE BEGINNING OF GRAFT IN
POLITICS WAS COINCIDENT WITH THE BEGINNING OF
GOVERNMENT.
Tho degree and kinds of graft and the quantity of blood drawn
from nations and individuals have varied, but the psychic principles
underlying the graft, whether in tlie bureaucracy of Russia or the
.political system of America, are of the same kidney.
.(dreed- and ambition were components of human, psychology then
as now. From the day of our nation’s dawn corruption in our politics!
•ystc m has steadily grown until it has TAINTED AID THE I)K
PAR I MEN TS OF'GOVERNMENT and has attained'the dignitv
of n system from which has sprung the trust; corporation and insur
ance grafter, with the venal political backing of the voting lambs.'
GOVERNMENT SAVORS STRONGLY OF THE GRAFT SYNDICATE
PERPETUALLY^ CONTROLLING EASY JOBS AND UNEARNED SALA
RIES, OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN LARGELY A GOVERNMENT!
OF THE PEOPLE SY THE GRAFTER FOR THE GRAFTER.
Fnder the cloak of Christianity, civilized and enlightened savage.
, avenging real or alleged insults, almost every government lias at one
time or another dipped its fingers in the FLESH J*OT§ OF GRAFT.
It is well to remember that political corruption is the rock of ages to
wliich nil subsidiary grafters fondly eling. Uncle Sam i* supposed to
he the champion of liberty and fair dealing, but ho himself is pretty

American Children
J Are Too Clean, Too Vain
And Too Puffed Up.
By ProfeMor FRITZ KOCH of the Lake Canevi Now School, Switzerland.
Hmerican children are too clean, too vain and
TOO PUFFED UP. AMERICAN SCHOOLTEACHERS ARC
TOO MUCH INCLINED TO BE .FASHIONABLE. AMERICAN
PARENTS ARE TOO ANXIOUS TO earn money. '
-\ at least among tlic detriments to n natural development of eliil
•— ten is fashion, a forced culture of vanity and extravagance. N’ul
only do the parents, but also the teachers, set the' example. To fellow
SLAVISHLY all the extravagances of fashiiRi appears to he a far
stronger tendency than the desire to lie refined and simple.
CLEANLINESS IS A VIRTUE NOT DEMANDED FROM THE FAC
TORY HAND WHILE AT WORK. BUT CHILDREN WHILE AT PLAY
ARE CONSTANTLY REPRIMANDED BECAUSE t>F THEI/t DIRTY
HANDS, 8POTS ON THEIR CLOTHES. ETC.
So frequently are they called away ft-oin their REAL LIEF
because of this, and so dressed up are many of them—because tie
father can afford it and the mother likes it—that natural, intense,
wild play is gradually replaced by OCCUPATION'S OF LESSER
VALUE or by systematic games, like tennis, basket ball and baseball.
Real boys and girls are rovers in field and forest, in alleys and
dangerous places.
American Audiences *
Appreciate Good Acting.
-Sr Mim. ALLA. ejjkZj^qVA. >UHim Aram
HMERICAN audiences ire particularly sensitire to the slight
est false note in a performance. The moment the piny or
acting fails to ring true THEY LOSE INTEREST."
AMERICANS, WHO ARE THE MOST NERVOUS PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD, BETRAY VERY LITTLE NERVOUSNESS IN A THE
ATER. THEY ARE QUICK TO1 APPRECIATE AND ENCOURAGE THE
ACTORS,AT EVERY STEP, YET THEY ARE VERY UNDEMONSTRA
TIVB.
Tho French are very enthusiastic, but one feels they are super
fcial. One does not feel that way about the Americans. Sometime
they beep what they feel to themselves ami when the curtain fall

**I do«*t believe In ghosts,** nH the
veteran, "nor nothin’ like that, but I
do believe In—well, whet abali 1 call
It?—Inch. There's certain gamblin'
combinations In which there's millions
o’ chances agin their happenin', ami
yet they hare happened. They any
llgbtnln’ don’t strike twice in the same
place, t kin show yon out In Mnillgan
county an old oak that's beeu struck
tomy k nowlcdgo tiiree tjiuea.
"The curie*test thing that ever’ Fa p
pened la my experience wna when wo
was sightin' around Atlanta. Horae
Georgia troops come so uear the teiu
porary breastworks we’d tbrowed up
that when they went back they left
several dead right under our noses.
Due of ’em had on a good felt hat.
The reason I noticed it was because
my hat had become uiyiervlees hie, ami
I couldn't get another In the regular
way. Resides, It was rainin'. I wn ♦
startIn' to go out nud git the dead
man's hat when 1 sor Bill Kindlier»
of our company Jump down on I’fcthe;*
side of the breastworks, pick up the
hat and put It ou Ills head. Hut h -
t»»ok It off ag’lu to wijie on} the blood,
for’the Johnny had beeu shot through
It in the bend. HtrutIters swabbed i:
with the sleeve of hf* coat and put ii
back oh to his head. ?
"There was more or less flghtlu* that
dayand—Wo-Jwltimi-brea at works geii -
erally laid low, ’cause onct lu awhile a
stray shot would come along our way.
Strut hers was showin’ his hat to some
of the boys, not seemin’ to keer nlmut
his head bein’ above the parapet. He
took the hat off and poked his linger
through the bullet bole in it, then put
It on ag'In. He hadn’t more’n got It
on when be pitched forward. They
picked him up aud found auother bul
let hole In the hat closo beside the due
he'd beeu a-showln* ’em. The bullet
had made a hole in Strothers' head.
"WplI, Jim O’Keefe of Company <»,
next ou our left, was wearin’ a cap. A
cap out in the min is the wo’st sort o'
headgear, for when it gits soaked a
stlcldy stream runs right down a man s
backbone. O’Keefe ho ’pressed the
hat into his own special service. My
hat was nothin’ more’n a stovepi|»e
without the t'other end stopped up
and ketchin’ all the rain there was. I
was feel in* sorry tt*t I hadn't got
ahea'd of Sill HtruthefS. the mau that
first got the hat, when I saw O’Keele
thrown up bis hands and tumble In a
heap. I run up to him. and what do
you think? There was a third hole In
the hat and a bullet through O’Keefe's
brain. ^
'Countln the Johnny, tbU nmue three
men that had lost their lives wearln'
that hat. I was Just goiu’ to pick it
up and throw nway my stovepipe when
1 remembered this and stopped. It was
ralutn' liarder every minute, and the
hat would he u fine perfection. Bairin'
the bullet holes It was sound every
where— ilowsrnnever, I didn’t like
mnkiu* the fourth• muu to rojK>se my
weary llmbfc on Confederate soil, and 1
concluded to let the hat alone. I Sor
♦me w two men ptekvU,jui»^ look-tt <weT
throw down their own h.its and gain'
to put It on when 1 United ’em and
u4d.!om,Xhal.liiree men had been klHeii
wearln- of it, Mostly they droppedTit
like a hot coal, but prilly Soon fritter
tenant of Company It come along. Hi
hadn’t ipiy head coverin' at «H. He'd
been on the skirmish line and l>con
driven in in a Hurry—such a big hurry
ihat he’d dropped his hat niwl didn’t
eak-'late to stop to^dek it up.
"As' soon ms he" sor tin* lint 1 was
tHikin’ about lyin’ oti the ground In
made a dive for if. J vaHed ♦mt to him
'Lieutenant, don’t wear that hat.’ says
l. ‘What’s the niatler with ItV says
he. ‘There’s three men l>ecn shoi
a-wearln* it.’ ‘Well,’ lie says, ‘if It Jets
been struck three times there's a Jhou
sand chances to one It won’t l»y stru«*k
n girt
• lapped- it on his head. •
“Now. that’s Just tl\e way these men
who make tip systems to beat gamblin'
banks git fooled. Ilowhomever. It’s
mighty go<»d reasonin' All the same.
It’s good reasonin’ and It's bad reason
in’. There's some would argy that the
hat was fated, others that the H|»lrit of
the original Confederate -owner had
swore t hat * no cussed Yankee should
wear Tt.- T don't ~t>ctteve iu any of
thi'se ku|ierst It ions. There's only otic
thing ! do believe in—luck; jlst lu^k
and nothin’ else..
“About this time of day the firin'
got purty hot. The bullets was singin'
gayljr Jlst ’s If It was lots o’ fun to
plug a Yankee, some of^em cnttln* the
twigs of the overbangin’ branches
spiteful. I sor the lieutenant with tin*
hat on—the hot I was telllu* you about

git his men ont to make a charge—
they bein’ short o’ ammunition Jlst
thin. I Iwllere—when suddent I saw
i him collapse.
“His comrades picked" bUn up. and 1
sor one of 'em take off bis hat and
poke his finger through four different
bullet holes in the crown.
“Well, by this tlmp It was pretty
well understood that the hat had a
streak uf bad luck in ft. It lay ou the
ground, and not a man would., touch
it. A good hat gittiu* a wide berth
with men all about wantin’ it* Jt
vra’n’t superstition. Xo one couid argy
that there was any more cbanco of glt
t!n’ hit In It than hi any other hat.
and ylt no ma^ dared wear It. I’ve
thought about it often since ami won
dered what that tblug we call luck Is,
anyway. I don’t believe the biggest
science man that erer llv«I wpuld ’a’
