He is at a loss when it comes to defining any of the forces or other properties of the universe. He may observe, he may learn the laws gov- erning the manifestations of Nature, he may formulate theories, but seemingly a more intimate acquaintance with ffs environment has been de- nied him. The race has been placed in a nursery, the con- fines of which it can never see; it has been given toys which it cannot play skillfully, far less does it understand them. There is the playroom to explore, there are new toys awaiting discovery, there are old ones to be known— , Man ‘still i lying on.his back before the fire, sucking his thumb and kicking up his heels; he hasn’t learned to walk. But at that, he is a promising child! Well, the candidate’s wife doesn’t have to vote for him and that’s liberty for you. GRANDMA’S BEAU, “When I was a girl,” says Grandmother, “the men folk used to call on me.right after the sup- per hour—and when the hall clock struck nine- thirty it.was a gentleman’s time to depart. “T seldom had a caller who didn’t also wel- come the presence of the rest of my family. And my old sweethearts never smoked in my home.” And granddaughter replied: “The callers don’t come until nine-thirty, these days, Grandmother. And when the kitchen alarm clock rings for the housemaid to get up, they leave. “My parents, too, always stay in the front room on the evening when a gentleman calls on me—but I‘m never home. We spend the evening at a dance or the movie. “And smoke—the men folk of today not only smoke their own cigatets, in the house, but they also smoke dad’s cigars.” And grandmother still sighed for, the return of the old days. H Burning cotton and corn to keep the price up is criminal ; it is worse than that, it’s foolish. RESPONSIBILITY _The successful executive divides responsibility. His work is to oversee, not to take care of every little detail. Give @ person responsibility and that person will gain confidence in his own ability and find greater pleasure in his work. If Mr. Blank passes letters to his secretary with the words,.“Miss Brown, I wish you would handle these,” Miss Brown is going to work twice as hard and hold her head just a little higher. She is a responsible cog in that business machine, and not a mere human automaton turn- ing out just so.many,letters a day. However, it often ‘Heppens that a woman, who has newly entered the business world, is timid and afraid of shouldering responsibility. “What if I make a mistake?” she asks. What of that? The error of the past is the success of the future. The wise executive knows this, and judges, not by mistakes, but by successes. He who goes steadily ahead and later advances to the “boss’” desk, does not shirk responsibility. He seeks it. He shows that he is willing and eager to shoulder it for he knows that responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power. What wins for “him” wins for “her”! “T told you so” chorus greeted the news that Emma Goldman is eager to return to this country. “HOW DO YOU DO?” By their handshakes ye shall know them, is the gist of pointers given to salesmen of a large concern by Dr. Charles F. Boger, director of its personnel. That seems to be something new under.the sun. Character, and trust-worthiness as well as.other characteristics telegraphed to the mind by way of the grip. - Boger classifies his ideal into five ways of shak- ing hands, each of which conveys to his mind something different. The’ first he characterizes as the friendly handshake and he says that the man who gives a full hand and presses his thumb against the back of your hand is social, liberal and a congenial companion. “He describes “the economical handshake” as one-in Which the thumb Editor is not pressed down on the back of your hand, and designates that fellow as thrifty, economical to a fault; niggardly, almost merely, and a poor And, dear me, the doctor says that the higher one holds associate in revelry or amusement. his thumb from the back of the other shaker’s hand, the’stingier he is. “The secretive handshake” is contributed by’ ay the man who offers the tips of the fingers—‘sly, secretive, cunning.” Then he says the “indiffer- ent handshake” is that of the party “who gives you his hand as though he was laying a piece of wood or brick in it.” He characterizes such a man as lacking refinement, easily led arid imposed upon. And the fellow with a closed fist, some- times observed on the platform, is insincere and given to exaggeration. ' By the way, what has become of all the yellow-|'. back bills? PRIZE SUCKER BAIT Ever since the Ponzi episode there has been a flood of advertising by various firms dealing in foreign exchange, most of them picturing the prospect of fabulous profits for those purchasing options on European monies. German marks are apparently the favorite—probably because they are about the furthest from par, and, therefore, would make the highest percentage of gain if they reached par. J A typical example is the advertisement of a Detroit firm, seeking investors in six-months’ op- tions on marks. Like all such ads it first tries to impress the prospective investor with the idea that Germany is fast recovering her former econ- omic and industrial position, and that a large ap- preciation in the value of her money is, there- fore, probable. ait i This idea presented,’ the advertisement. then relates the enormous profits to be made ‘by’ hold- ers of options should: marks’go to par or close to par. vultona saisst'd Hl The’ big “catch” in the game is the fact that only six-months’ options are sold. Foreign ex- change will advance in value, certainly, but very slowly through the operation of numerous econ- omic, social, industrial and commercial agencies. | Any rapid appreciation in six months is admitted by good bankers to be out of the question. And, if it wasn’t out of the question, you couldn’t buy such an option for love or money. Get-rich-quick swindlers would catch few suck- ers if the latter would only stop to think that no one ever has to go out and beg for and solicit investors in any scheme that offers even a rea- sonable fair chance for abnormal profits. Chicago robbers stole a whole train. Police are gn the track. { Apparently Tris Speaker was the “master mind” of this series.

Brinton is almost past | belief. After putting it all over the people that the: newspaper graft bill was passed as a matter of econdmy to the people and for the purpose of batting “Big Biz” aMd its friends by taking away from them the power to “subsidize” newspapers through legal notices, and denying all thot of graft or personal interest on the part of the League leaders, he now comes to the front say- ing the law was concocted, not as a matter of economy or better government, but for the pur- pose of corraling all the legal printing of the state for the sole benefit cv! the little bunch at the head of the Leaguc, who ha‘ already induced the farmers to buy them a paper in each of the counties. We cannot recall any state in which such an ad- mission or damnable graft has been made, and it is a sad parody on lawmaking by a legislature that was so beautiful and benecial to the dear people, as Governor Frazier put it last Monday night. Now that the real people have a chance to even up the score, it is altogether likely they will not be in line with their votes for the Brin- ton-Townley newspapers that are in the field for a continuance of their unholy graft.—Beach Ad- vance, : f The Experiences | Of Hiram Wise fee INTRODUCTION “Hiram Wise” is a farmer of the old‘ school who beliéyes in the «“emaneyashun o’ humanity.” Be- ing a forward looking man, he is one ofthe first to join the Non- partisan league when its organ- izers. visited’ his. community. While his varied experiences are told in'story form, practically. ev- ‘ery one of them has been dup- licated in real life. “Bobs’” speech has been writ- ten in dialect in order to carry out the general idea.
