PHOOLISH PHEELIXGS.
When, while being introduced to an especially attractive young
lady, you make your most polite bow and hear an onmious ripping
from behind.
Things to be grateful for: That chickens aren't all neck.
The campaign song in South Carolina this fall will undoubtedly
\be "Blease go 'way and let me sleep."
Henry Ford's peace party cost him $400,000 and Europe is still
at war. At any rate Hennery has shown himself to be a dead-game
eport.
l?n editorial in the Sandhill Citizen bears the caption: "The Col
onel for Instance." That's about the only office which we would
like to see him fill. All those in favor of the Colonel for instance,
pleaso signify in the usual manner.
r
A REFORM OF TITE SALOOXS.
Heavy drinkers will have difficulty in assuaging tlicir thirst here
WTer in Passaic, X. J. The liquor business is being reformed. And
tho saloon keepers them selves are doing the reforming.
The city *s retail liquor dealers' association has adopted a rigid
rule to do no business with drunkards. It doesn't matter -whether
a man is a wild-eyed "periodic" or a "regular souse," ho will be
barred from the saloons of Passaic. The ninety-seven saloonkeepers
are making up the blacklists. They will be edited and redistributed
Tor tho guidance of all bartenders. Private detectives are being
employed to help point out tho "bad ones." Any citizen with n
recognized tendency to inebriation will not be able to* buy a drink
at any of the ninety-seven bars, and any moderate drinker who seek?
to imbibe beyond the margin of safety wi!l find his supply cut off.
The reform is all the more impressive from the fact that Passaic
was recently known as one of the ten American cities whose saloons
kept open twenty-four hours every day.
That is the very best way to reform saloons ? -to have them reform
themselves. It also brings out another point, and that is that the
advance of prohibition is so rapid that the liquor interests realize
they must take steps of reform or else lose out in a hurry.
A CHANGE IN POLICIES.
Republican newspapers, and others which are opposed to the ad
ministration. are endeavoring to make capital out of the fact that
President Wilson has made certain chances in policies which he
advocated previous to his election and shortly afterwards. They lose
sight of the fact, however, that never before in the history of the
United States has a man labored under the responsibilities which
have been placed upon the shoulders of Mr. Wilson. They lose
sight of the fact that changed conditions often necessitate a change
in action. A general may decide that he will follow a certain course
of procedure and a sudden and unexpected activity upon the part of
the enemy may cause him to discard entirely his plans and adopt
those which are altogether different.
So it has been with Wilson, and, fearless as he is, he has not
hesitated to adopt himself to the chancres. It is onlv a fool who
docrni'fchanoe his mind and tho president has shown himself to
anything but that ' * ^ m IT* "jj
AMTTftTCA AND "BET.GTTTNr.
Mofft American* probably wiph today flint the United States had
protested against the German invasion of Delirium at. the time when
it happened. The whole attitude of the nation ever since has been
a protest against that mthless aet It. was that which turned Amer
ican sentiment against Germany.
Ar we look hacic on that event, in the light of the disaster it brought
to a brave nation, and the world's judgment on it, mn?t of us prob
ably feel that we were at least under a moral obligation to protest ?
that we failed ifi onr moral duty.
Whether we were legally bound to protest under the terms of the
Hague convention, guaranteeing the neutrality of "Belgium is harder
to decide. Tt is a question for legal experts ? and they are not
agreed about it.
Put there needn't, he any doubt a* to whether the United .State*
was obligated by the* Hague convention to intervene bv force in aid
of Belgium when Germany attacked her. Tor that acrreement. which'
we signed along with the other powers. carried this express pro-'
vision:
"Nothing contained in this convention ahull l?o con?trned ns to
require the United Rtates to depart from its trfldi'ionnl policy of nnt
Intruding upon, interfering' with or entangling itself in the political
questions of policy or international administration of any foreign
state.1 * ~ j
That provision wan inserted at the instance of onr oTdfcrfelegates,
partly to relieve us of the legal necessity of taVinff nnrfTn any of
Europe'a quarrels, and partly as a pledge of pood faith to Enropi.
Tt meant that in retnrn for onr insisting on Eurone toepiner hands
off America, we were willing to keep hands off Europe. It was a
corollary of onr Monroe Doctrine, rfnd calculated to malce the Euro
pean powers respect that doctrine.
There ought not to be arty confusion about this important matter.
We were under no lecral obligation to interfere by force. Wo are
undcT no legal obligation to interfere now or in the future, in any*
part of Europe, no matter what happens.' Wo are not tied to anv
"Europeans, by any "convention* or anv treatv. Whether we shall
attaclc any nation, or defend any, restaf' solely with our own conscience.
Tt la conceivable that we might nndertaVe to fight for Belgium
even yet If she failed otherwiae to get back her independence, with
compensation for her wrongs. But if we should do bo, it would be
!? ft gratuitous act ? not an act to which we are bound by any pledge
ever gfveft.
Proselyting
Evil of College
i WttUAM rt. TAFT
rEBE in certain aboaee that I think the attention of ths Collegiate
I association may well be directed to. I think that it should 1* tha
ambition of thoM regulating college athletic* to create a distinc
tion between jtrulaiaional tod college athiattaa, 'There ia a natural dis
poaition for men in college athletica to approximate the methods of tha
profeaaionali who have the higher skill. I am sorry to say that thia ap
proximation inclndea not nirij tha science anri the ?kill, bat aleo the man
ner* If there ia any respect in which college athletica should differ
from professional athletica it ia in the good manners obaarred by eacjl
aide toward the other.
THEIR BCINO COLLISC M?N-?UOHT TO TttACH TM?M TO M
GCNTLKMIN AND TO M SELF RESPttTINO AND MUF RMTftAININO.
The other abate to vhich I referred vaa that of proselyting in pre
paratory schools by eelf constituted agents smeejr the alumni of ran on*
colleges, to induce likely athletea to go to one college rather than to an
other by promise of support through college. That thia erU has pre
vailed I think nobody can deny.
I should think strict roles might be drafted and that with the earnest
desire which we know exista on the part of the faculty committee*
scheme* of this sort might be unearthed and diaeoursged by one or two
revelations and THE EXCLUSION FROM COLLEGE CONTESTS
OF TWO OB THREE PRIME ATHLETES WHOSE SERVICES
HAVE BEES SECURED BY BUCH ARRANGEMENT.

Modern Plays Lack the Instruction That
Romantic Drama Affords
By JULIA ARTHUR, Famous Actrea
IN" coming back to the stage I find but one difference ? we are getting
away from the roost telling of all things, the remantic drama. Most
of our plays deal with the ephemeral things which amuse and divert,
but lack the instruction which romantic drama afTorda.
BUT I FEEL JUST AS SURELY THAT WE ARE TO COMB BACK
AGAIN TO THAT TYPE OF DRAMA.
I think the motion pictures are wonderful, and I've already been
asked to play for them, but I jdo not think they will ever seriousty cut
into the spoken drama. There will always be a vast audience for the
voice, because we can be stirred far more aeeplv by it than bv a pictorial
presentation of emotions. MOTION PICTURES ONLY SUGGEST;
THE SPOKEN DRAMA NOT ONLY SUGGESTS, BUT CONVEYS
EMOTION DIEECTLY.

On the
Remington
and Nowhere Else
Here are two facts about the
Remington which every type
writer buyer should know:
1 . The Remington Column Se
lector adds 25 per ceftt. to the
letter writing speed of the typist.
This is not a claim or an estr
mate. It is a definite fact ?
proved and established by any
number of comparative tests.
2. The Column Selector is a
Remington feature exclusively.
No other hiachine has it? or
anything like it.
Add* 25 per cent, to the ?pfeed
Adds noihir.g to the price
Oh, yet, other machine have devices which look like it, with the five key?, etc. It ii rxty
(or a uletman, who knowi the aupreme merit of thii Reminet >n feature; to call them
"column (elector' ' keyi. But there ia no other device on any other typewriter which can do
what the R?aiia?toa Column Selector doet.
The Remington Column Selector it
the mh feature on any typewriter which
permit* instantaneous setting of the
carriage at enj desired point on the line.
It ia the 0tiff feature which provide*
this setting by either forward or back
ward movement.
It b the tnh feature which provides
true "cxpreM tcrvice" with no stop-'
to-stop movement in reaching any
writing point. A I' X .' ??. .
And that are the features which make
the 25 per cent speed gain.
Let us show you the real and only
