Yoar., om | One Year.. One Month GOOD HUMOR IN HIGH OFFICE. | VOLUME 53...... HEN asked to review the experiences of his term of office, W as President of the French Republic, M. Fallieres enid: “I! am glad of this—that I always preserved my good humor.” | ‘The answer is the more interesting because we do not associate calni- | ness and even temper with the Gallic disposition. We have hat » habit of assuming them to he characteristics of the Teutonic racer. | Yet here is @ Frenchman of the French, clothed with power and placed | in highest station, who maintained his dignity with grace, mixed in| Do quarrels, and after seven years of trial issues with the happy con- éciousness that he kept his temper through it all—an example to Ger- man Kaisers and to several eminent Americans. It would have been better for Roosevelt if he could have main- tained a good humor in the Presidency. It would have been better | for Taft if he hadn’t lost his smile when Roosevelt became rasping. | It would be better for Gaynor now if he would even at this late day | study the lesson and profit by it. Incidentally, it would aleo be better | for the public. A display of bad temper in a man of high station irri. | tates the popular mind. On the other hand, the leadership of a man | who has a sense of humor and knows how to keep it sweet, is of groat value in softening public discontents. After the irritations of Cleve-' land, the Presidency of McKinley was like a balm. Fallieres has set 8 fashion for the wise to follow. | + A TESTIMONY VERSUS A THEORY. R. SAMUEL H. LONDON, who has made a long study of the | M social evil, is quoted as denying the existence of any such | bondage as is usually understood by the phrase “white! slavery,” saying: “Of course no man really controls a girl. She can| leave him if che wants to go, but dhe has to choose a now location | vory distant from her old haunt, and where is she to go? She! would be free, of course, but her etripe of woman rather thrivos on | subjection, bd °* © — That is as near white slavery as any girl in her line comes.” The opinion of @ special student of the subjectis not to be lightly set but on the very day he was giving out thin state- meni a girl in the court room of United States Judge Hand wae thrown inio hysterics while discussing her testimony with one of | the prosecuting attorneys in a write slave case, and the cause of her fright was the so-called “death sign” flashed at her as she talked.
