"'- cnt1' In history are numerous instances of great men, whose power was limited or suddenly cut short because of intemperance of mind. The calm, collected mind is alert, but temper leads to extravagance in action and stubborn ness in retreat. The ill tempered person is his own worst enemy. Miss Robertson's advice to couples to make such a sane resolution is excellent. A better recipe for concord, however ,is "Keep the resolution." Eight Hours for Wives memuiation of his quarter of a cen tury of useful work. He utilized the occasion to review, the developments and changes in club life that had fallen under his observation. Whil certain innovations had beuun to creep in before the war, it was, of course, tne war that wiouirht what older members were inclined to re Kard as revolutions, l'or example, when H was first rumored that the Athenaeum was introducing wait resses instead of the venerable men who had served in the dinintr room, nil London wns at first incredulous and then shocked. Dut other clubs were soon forced to follow suit, and it is the fact that the women ser vants showed so much deftness ami adaptability that .some clubs retain ed them even after the war ne cessity had passed. Nowadays, it appears, a man sel dom joins an EnKlish club unless he intends to make frequent use of it. The old custom of bcloncine; to ten or twelve clubs, at few of which he ever showed hi3 face, has largely passed away. This is thought to have been one of the rdsults of ner- sonal economies compelled by the the war. At entrant'!' fie and club dues have as a general rule in creased, so that the expens of be longing to a club is om?thinir 'ltO(;iti:.ssivi:s H IM, NOT roit.M iwll'cn ytnK "" in particular have nnd frails live in grotesque Persian palaces, amusing themselves by knocking the plaster off the poor man's walls and running his children man has a bank balance, hats been able to install his family in comfort, and educate his children, there is something wrong with his character, and necessarily he cheats the washwoman. When the movies have established but there won't be much left of Hol lywood. A woman member of the Maine legislature is quoted as urging application of the eight-hour principle to wives.

"Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest and eight hours for what you will" expresses her senti ment. This plan might work with some, but it wouldn't work i with wives, and niothersJtvlio are .guided by love for hus band and children in their work. This does not mean that loving wives and mothers are necessarily servile, but that they interpret their duty in the light of the heart's flame rather than in that of cold business. So long as a wife cares for her man and her children she will measure her duty by their need of her services. Marriage and wifehood are not business propositions to lie dealt with as though there were no such thing as sentiment. Rising From the Ranks Times have changed in the navy since Admiral Samp son disapproved the promotion of Gunner Morgan lest! he he socially unsuccessful. The naval information bur-! cau in announcing the reduction of the number of ap pointments to Annapolis academy from five for each con--gressman a'nd senator to' three, for the year 15)24, with 15 more to be appointed1 by the president and 100 allowed to enter from the ranks of enlisted men in the navy, adds that "within the past few years it has been found' at An napolis that many of the leading scholars, prominent ath letes and men honored by their own classmates by election to, class offices have been boys who won their appoint ments by competitive examinations while serving as lilue jackets at sea." With that report it might be well to re duce the congressional list again and secure more lcad- ing scholars and athletes from the ranks. TIIIKH I'AHTY. The New ICcpiildlc: Tlir."r. were Iwo melboila of politleal union consliuitlv under consideration and, ill the final session, under discussion at the con ferenen for progressive political ac tion recently held In clevelrimt. On was essentially tho oriranizutlon ol independent voting in tho primaries of Itio two major parties; the oilier was Inn creation of u third parly. The F.irmer-I jibor party at the out- of the conference presented a res olution designed to commit the or Baiilzatlon definitely ( the principle or a third party. In these words: "That tile conference for progressive political action hereby declares for Independent political action by tho agrieiilliiral and Industrial workers through a party of their own." This resolution Jninir over the conference from tile beginning, as an opportun ity ror a real test of strength between the progressives and the radicals. Tlie committee on resolutions pro posed to smother it. and to this nnd lo sacrifice all other resolutions. In cluding those In favor of a child labor law, recognition of Itussla, am nesty for political prisoners and civil liberties: but the spirit or fair play won and the resolution was present ed, though it was necessary for the conference to find u new ball for an extra evening session which had not been provided for. The resolution was tlmroughly debuted a'jd lost bv lit to r,2. The lending argument against the resolution was tli.it tli,. time was pol ripe for such a declaration that Ihe rank and file of industrial workurs a well as farmers wore still under Hue hypnotism of the old " party names and Hi,, excitement of being In one of the big tenia. 1' irllcularly the voice of political expediency coun selled delay at this time- The. rail road brotherhoods, who are Ilia chief unions behind the coiilercnce. have a candidate for the presidency pecul iarly their own In liohcrt M.

Several changes noted in English club lite could doubtless be paral leled in America. Hut this country has suffered one alteration in club customs unknown in England. Pro hibition has laid its heavy hand upon those little circles that Ui-ed to drop in of an afternoon for the purpose of tubbing elbows with friends nnd crooking elbows over" the "some thing" that everybody wits asked to "have." Desperate efforts are made in some clubs to keep up these old gatherings for friendly chat and ex change of stories but for the most part it is only n dismal pretense that is leic. iiouotress tne momuers are the better for it morally, but the general impression is that their wit has been made flat along with their drink.
