There can be no particular objection to this so long as it is not attempted to belittle the service these men have rendered to mankInd. Every man and woman has ceriain defects of ehigacter, and this has always been so, It is a fur- | thP?’fact that some of those who have contributed mést to civilization have been guilty of moral of- | fenses which would be sternly condemned today. ' As a matter of history, many of the world’s greatest leaders have, led reprehensible private | ' lives, as measured by commonly’ accepted stan- | dads. Tt even may be asserted that in the case of Dre very highest types of geniis this has been | th€Fule rather than the exception. FBut in estimating the permanent place which sh@Bid be accofded these men in the esteem of the wottd, only the service which they rendered to hu- should be considered. A recent writer well this idea, thus: 1) “Every leader must be tested not by his pri- vake.conduct, but by his public behavior. Did be serve well his day and generation? If he did, all else will be forgiven and forgotten.” WINDOW DISPLAYS INEFFICIENT Wide-awake merchants the country over are finding that window displays are becoming less ef- fective with every passing day. The, really worth- while shoppers no longer walk the streets.. To the contrary, they speed by in luxurious automobiles an never see the articles arrayed in a window.’ The intelligent and most desirable shoppers of today make out their list of purchases from newspaper advertisements and go directly to the places selected and do their trading. The show window is no longer @ drawing card in the merchantile business, and the sooner the mer- chant discovers this fact the better it will be for his interests, for no store can go ahead in this enlight- ened age without newspaper advertising. , Shoppers who enter a store and find the prop- rieior and clerks, if he has any, standing about the front door, may rest assured that' they are entering a store that does not advertise. Proprietors of stores that adveriise show that they have confidence in their own goods and that their prices are very reasonable indeed. Frugal shoppers the country over are now spending their money with stores that advertise, and gradually the misfit merchants who “don’t be- lieve in advertising” must fail in business and turn over the field to more progressive proprietors. DEMOCRATIC UNITY Sean The curse of the Democratic party for many years has been the tendency to a wide open split on various questions. For 20 years, the differences that split the party wide open over the question of the currency were a terrible handicap to the party’s success, That issue has now disappeared, thanks to the statesmanlike policy of the Wilson administration in putting through the federal reserve act, which made financial panic much less of a peril. The democratic party has seemed pretty well united on economic and business questions for the past 15 years, or ever since Mr. Wilson became its inspiring force. He gave the party a new creed and a broader outlook, and it took it out of the nar- row controversies that held it back for 20 years pre- vious. " He taught the Democratic party that it must stand unitedly for the interests of the mass of..peo- ple, and that it must do so without going into’ex- tremes in any direction. It ‘must give business reasonable encouragement, but it must not permit business to be so dominating that the interest. of every day people was. ignored. be This Democratic unity, was.observable oa ¢¢on- omic. questions yvery-darge}y: tap years ayy, ang it seemed as if the party was in a position te win a big victory, when two unfortunate things happened. The independent candidacy of Sen itor. La Follette ‘drew away a lot of voters who;werejnaturally Dem- oeratic, and the \ prolonged natiggal convention held at New York created such conflict, large- ly over questions of race and rel as to spoil the party’s fair prospects. ay ; This year neither one of these issues is a fac- tor. It. looks as if the party had gotten back io that condition of unity to which Woodfow Wilson led it, so that it is in much the same position to win a victory that it was 10 and 14 years ago when Mr. Wilson was running for president. OLD CLOTHES The correspondents who are. following Presj- dent Coolidge on his vacation, note that when he goes fishing or walking, he Wears a rough suit, while on rainy days he wears a worn black slicker, and when the sun is specially warm, he puts on an old Leghorn hat. No doubt he, like most: people, finds a certain comfort in wearing. old clothes. There is a place for new clothes and a place for old ones. The folks who rarely have any bright and cheerful new ones suffer a kind of let down: in confidence, they look inferior and they often feel that way. And if they feel so, they are. But there are times when one is off duty, and wants to do plain work or just loaf and rest, when it is on enormous comfort to be ablé ‘to wear your old clothes. There are many who are repelled from certain summer resorts and swell hotels, just be- cause of the everlasting necessity of dressing up. They are willing to do so ‘at home, but when they get off on a fest, they hate to have to go down on the hotel porch where everyone is fixed up in swell tegs, and to feel that they are. under inspection, and that the least dificiencies in their ‘atiire are be- ing commented upon. . One reason why little shacks and bungalows | are so popular, is that many of us like to go where old clothes as much as we like.
