But he did neither, proving that he is ar honest man and a poor politician. Having thus stirred the @t/ wrath of the Anti-Saloon League, he went to Eng- land and secured the cooperation of that country in the war against trans-Atlantic liquor traffic+-prob- ably the greatest blow to bootlegging since the dry law was passed, The Colonel Is Game Nothing succeeds like success in New York. you have your doubts, consider the situation in which Colonel Ruppert, owner of the New York American League franchise, finds himself. The colonel was game enough to pay “heavy dough”—as they express it in sporting circles—for a half interest in the only mildly profitable New York club. He was game enough to pay Babe Ruth a fabulous salary, and later, when his team started wiring pennants, to invest millions in-a gigantic stadium and buy out his partner, Last year the New York Yankees finished in the rut, and the wise boys were predicting that the colonel would have a hard time keeping a paying number of stadium seats filled this season. But the colonel was unruffled. Game as ever, he began to shell out money for new players, and this year the critics are all confounded because the If jon and seem destined to figure in the world s. The colonel already has got his money back. If his team wins the pennant, he will get a whole lot more. Leisure he helm; he has seen France approaching, step by! tep, fhe national disgrace of a dictatorship. | But Poincare was thinking and planning. He as-| umed the role of spectator and he analyzed the situ- | tion closet, He saw the fundamental defects in| vhich fell like tenpins. It was that{ he finance minister, no matter how sound his fin-j uices ‘were in principle, could do but little unless he premier happened to agree with him—which sever happened. So he said to himself, “If they ever all on me, I shall be both premier and finance min- ster.” And so he did. They called on him, after the coun- ry had been brought to the edge of the abyss, and oday the name of Poincare is on every Frenchman’s! ips. They remember him as an able president. Chey see him now as a dynamic man with a purpose, | s with g plan, and with the will and enthusiasm to put) t over. France has a dictator. He is Raymond Poincare, out h& sits in the saddle of power on the side. of law ind order and tradition. He would rescue France n spite of. herself. His ministry, compounded of the representatives of all factions as a coalition! ‘Sacréd Crusade” is vivid evidence of the style in which: Poincare has decided to work out the salva- don of the French republic. Is Boincare the man of destiny? Is he the one ‘ally save France? Certainly he has begun sensifly and in a strong manner a difficult but not: mpossible job. 3 a Z For the Greater Good It $ften happens that some must suffer for the greater good of all and thus it is with the 800 clerks n Washington who will be released from the tax, wubli¢ debt and census divisions of the treasury de- rartment as the result of further economies and im- sroved methods of carrying the work along. Much srog@®ss has been made in catching up with back recently and in auditing claims for taxes wising during the war period aud immediately jhereafter, The largest cut will be in the treasury depart- nentsince congress took $1,850,000 from the appro- sriation of the bureau of internal revenue and $560,- 0 f¥om the public debt service. Of course it is somewhat bad luck for those clerks who “must lose their jobs, but they are being de- prived of them at a time when there is no unemploy- nent-problem and when they may easily obtain other dositions. Certainly the government would not be ‘ustified in keeping these clerks on the national pay- roll if they may be dispensed with. If economy is 10 b® practiced, with its resultant beneficial effect | n reduced tax rates, then it must be practiced un-| flincRingly and with due regard for the taxpayers’ intergst.

There is much discussion of ambi- tion, work, and achievement, but little of leisure. In fact, as a nation, we have become so strenuous that we hardly know what to do with leisure when by chance we have any. But leisure is equally important as work, for it is then, as Miss Amos says, that one may renew ngth and deepen spiritual resources. Only through renewal of strength and spiritual resources and only his best is sufficient. A proper regard for and the proper use of leisure may well be urged upon all of us. Over-Standardization There is much justice in the accusation that we are guilty of “gross standardization” of the individual. Standardization is: the key to our material success, it is true, but it has well-nigh been the ruin of our individuality. It works well with machines, but poorly with humans. Until very recently our schools and colleges have been busy bringing the youth of the nation to a common level. Any development of individuality was not because of these institutions of learning, but in spite of them, and these exceptions have been made only to few. ‘All other contacts with the busi- ness of living have been according to a set rule, any pass of which has been fraught with serious quences, dent, custom, rule, regulation, standardi: tion--these have hecome the enemies of individuality and it is high time that civilization awakened to the danger involved in this condition. |___Hditoria Comment || Work and Recreation 4 (New York Times) Joseph Lee of Boston, one of America’s most use- ful citizens, who has often been called “the father of American playgrounds,” comments on the sugges- tion that the recreation movement ought not to con- fine its attention to leisure time. It is admitted and sted that the ends which recreation seeks are to ihe found largely in work. “It is in work that man should find the source of his life.” The generation when Mr. Lee had his instruction taught its children work “through the morning hours,” to work mid springing flowers, to work even through “sunny noon” and so on “till the last which anticipated the coming of night, when man could work no more, The occupation to be wished is, work that regrets the flight of time except as it enables one. to per- fect his work in the manner of the workmen de- scribed in the Book of Ecclesiasticus: the artificer who “euts gravings” and who “has set his heart to preserve likeness in his portraiture”; the smith who | is “wakeful to adorn his works,” and the potter who “applies his heart to finish the glazing” and is “wakeful to make clean the futnace”—workmen in In other words, we are intimating, and not too deli- cat@y, that the present day breed of campers is a poor imitation of those of a decade ago and that we areSecoming too soft to be any good. When a man can’t go out and rough it for a few weeks without whining for “civilization” every five minutes, the most of them do today, then he shows distinct of deterioration. ba Lincoln Andrews, Soldier spite the views on prohibition which Lincoln C. irews has expressed lately, no one can deny that ‘he been conscientiously sticking to his job right up'fo the last minute.

He furnishes his own answer. For the present it has seemed to those who are in- terested in the recreation movement that the need is to provide for nine-tenths of our population, who must live by jobs impervious to human genius, some ar TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1926 This Business of Riding Trick Mules | Pru BEGIN HERE TODAY MRS.
