[ It hopes it will be public, It hopes the Chamber will seek out every iota of evidence, and sift these charges to the bottom. The political angle of the affair, it thinks, is Alaska is wrapped up in the success of the Alaska railroad, and Wheeler’s charges hit directly at that road.

And if the charges are false, or are half-truths and half-lies, The Star will be the first to denounce that. BUT LET’S HAVE IT OUT IN THE OPEN, ‘AND FIND OUT WHAT’S WHAT PROMPTLY. Clothes and the Man BRAHAM LINCOLN was not awkward. His tailor made him look that way. Former United States Sena- tor Cornelius Cole, 102 years old, recently wrote: “In justice to my friend, Abraham Lincoln, T want to correct the propaganda which has been going the rounds about his awkwardn I was a member of the 38th con- gress when he was president and sat within arm's length of him when he delivered his Gettysburg address. 1 knew him well enough to deny that he was awkward. “Tall, yes, and because of that he appeared a bit ungainly. But if he seemed awkward, it was because of his clothes. There were terrible tailors in those days.” Look thru an old picture album. The old-timers, in their “Sunday best,” wore wonderful cloth—material that would be priced sky-high nowadays, But the tailoring was awk- ward—to our eyes. Of course, we'll look just as crude when people a half century from now inspect pictures of us. Clothes may not make the man. But it’s just as well for Lincoln that his tailor didn’t transform him into a His ungainly appearance was a tremendous ee ee tre er Pe ee Political asset. ' Good taste in clothes seems to be inborn, not acquired. “There are some people who look stylish and snappy in any kind of garments. Others look awkward and slouchy, no matter what they wear. ’ If you study a man’s clothes you can come pretty close to “getting his number.” Clothes do not make the man, but they do reveal the man. ' Instinctive realization of this is what makes men dress ‘80 much alike. They submerge many a defect by not ven- turing far from the standardized average. ~ Women are different. They seek individuality, striking- ness. Who’s a Good Sport? ‘ALIFORNIA and Wisconsin, with Louisiana and Michi- gan coming on, show a nice contrast in the matter of ‘playing the big political game.
