He Alscovered a wide use of the detail system by su- perior officers for thelr personal ends, A reform of the | abuses uncovered is calculated to do more than at first appears to improve the status of the merit system In the department, ‘WOMEN IN POLITICS, Vassar’s participation in politics 's a symptom worth moting. The burlesque Presidential campaign at this ‘women’s college has all the outward aspects of an under- graduate “lark.” Yet behind {t there Hes apparent a serious interest In party questions which js encouraging. Except in the South, American girls have been accus- tomed to look askance on politics as unworthy of thelr attention. Aa an Indication of a qhanged view and as @inting at a new feminine departure, some sigus of which have been observed elsewhere, the action of the Vassar girls merits praise. They could put their time to worse uses, as Englishwomen, who exercise a well recognized influence in politics, might inform them There have been occasional calls for college men to “go into politics,” and their activity this year, both as informal student bodies and in graduate organizations has been such as to excite notice. The college girl by following their example may accomplish more good than she realizes through an intelligent interest In questions on which a nation's bility depends, They are ques- tions which should engage her attention more thar she bas previously permitted them to do. JEM MACE’S OPEN SECRET. Jem Mace, the old-time champion of the ring, {s re- ported as seeking at seventy-four a new match with tha gloves. He is unique in a profession which 1s apt to see its “good uns” pess out before old age comes on. But it seems that what some have referred to as “the secret” of Mace’s remarkable preservation |s a good deal of an open secret The old champion clings to the out-of-doors—walks there and, when he can, sleeps there He does his ten- mile stroll before breakfast, While no slave to “booze,” he drinks his ‘alf-and’-alf as he feels inclined.
