C. better automobiles are built# Buick will build them !EnQUE7TE OF THE MMD ! ^ (David Henry Day.) i I was born and partly raised in the : State of Georgia, which is an essen tial thing for you to know in order that you may join with my North ern friends in their objectionable gigglement. I own a right smart motor car that can do—and does do—sixty-dve miies per hour—real, not conversa tional miles. Whenever anyone gives me the passing honk, toot or bray, I prompt ly give him his full half of the read and allow him to pass me—if he can. I was coming down a wide ball room-door—smooth stretch of high way—gliding along at about fortv dve per, when an insistent horn be hind me demanded half of the road. I gave it fully and cheerfully—and stepped on her to the extent of dfty bve. Just as I was about to swing back into the center of the road again the cock-sure blare of a horn sounded close alongside me. So I pushed her up to a good six ty-dve and gave the aspiring driver more than his half of the road. And a big green car, driven by a coal black negro, who sat alone in his glory at the wheel, slipped quiet ly past me without even a cutout opened, and a big solicitous voice boomed'back a.t me: "What seems to be demattah. friend? Hat you got engine trouble?" is There a inline in Courtesy? (Philadelphia Inquirer) The decline of manners is an old ] them^. The lack of courtesy of which we hear so much complaint is not j confined to our own time. It has been deplored in the past and will be in the future. But it must be said that the tendencies of the pres ent generation do not lie in the di rection of thoughtfulness for oth ers, which is the basis of ail true courtesy. What was once regarded as ordinary politeness is now con sidered a little old-fashioned. There has at least been a decline in for mality. That in itself may not be a bad thing. One might follow all the rules of etiquette, now so easily accessible in print, and still not be really well-mannered. Can courtesy be taught or is it in stinctive No doubt it has to be taught in most cases. Children are natural barbarians. Much of the rudeness attributed to young people in these days is due to the fact that they have been- badly brought up. Parents are too often negligent in this, as in other matters. It takes a lot of trouble to teach a child even the rudiments of good behavior. Yet there is such a thing as instinc tive courtesy. That is why persons with very few social advantages not infrequently outshine those who have many. The presumably well-bred may be extremely rude. The fun damental reason is that .they lack kindness of heart. They have little consideration for others. No super ficial polish will atone for the lack of this. A due observance of the niceties of conduct is desirable, but it is not the root of the matter. We may doubt if the books on etiquette have had much effect in stimulating true courtesy. It is hardly worth while to lay so much stress upon picking up the wrong fork. How people be have in public is the real test. We should like to see better manners in the concert-room, in the theatre, in the street. It must be said that in these respects there is still much to he desired.

Dec. 22.—The "dark horse" from Dixie, who is being groomed by Wiiiiam Jennings Bryan for the Democratic presidents nom ination, is believed to be ex-3ecretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, of the guess of several southern sena tors who argue that the former sec retary is about the only public man in the South who measures up to the Bryan standard, especially in the matter of prohibition. Of aii the bone drys in America, none is more so that Mr. Daniels. Besides, Dan iels and the Commoner have beeD for years the closets of frienda. Mr. Daniels' friends, however, are of the opinion that Mr. Daniels will not be come a candidate even at the solici tation of his old friend, Mr. Bryan.
