Here are means, good, bed and indifferent, whereby people may enlarge acquaintance. The newcomer’s best recourse is the church. The horo of “The Fortune Hunter” wes well-advised when he showed himeelf at the town place of worship. Village public opinion values this as test of a man’s sobriety, sense of responsibility and conformity to @ good tradition. Tho custom is nearly as strong in the nearby saburbs, and has considerable force here in the city. Ohurch-goere notice the stranger, give him cordial greeting and make opportuni- ties for him to participate in the social activities that are part of church life. Next to the churches the district political clubs offer perhaps the mort direct human contacts. They have their office-seeking side, but with their pool and bowling facilities, their summer chow- der excursions and winter assemblies, they perform « leavening and humanizing task. Those who profess to be lonely in this town are cither too selfish oF too lazy to’ bestir themselves. Do most men accept one chance im ten to lengthen their calling liste? eve A LESSON FROM ENGLAND. HE British War Office has done something tending to rebuke an American monopoly and mend ite practices. It has announced that no bids are wanted to supply meat to the army from any of the Chicago packers under indictment. If our own Government had taken a similar atep instead of both Prosecuting and patronizing the packers’ trust, it is a fair guess that the latter would not for nine years have fought attempts to get it into court. it would have had some interest in prompt adjudi- cation of the matter. ‘It is every American's priviloge to follow British practice and do something that is not a blend of denunciation and patronage. Why should he rail against the ways of corporations that at beat are only “law-honest,” that evade law and defy public opinion and esafe- yard themselves in “hired cunning” rather than public approbation— and then throw business their way? “I am in favor of fetting him stand up. The practice has one advantage. When the standee can't stand & any tonger he can vamp without orewiing over anybody's Jap.
