" (Chlco Enterprise THE PROBLEM OF THE DEMAGOGUE. "All tho Ills of this country 'can be' tracd directly to the profes sional politician. By the professional politician I mean the aspi rant for office who appeals tu the prejudices and passions of the people to get votes, who sacrifices principle for selfish advantage, who udvoiatis something he knows to be wrong, but which beiuuso of mob phyrhology and muss emotion, he can make uppeur right. In short, the wind-Jamming, arm-swinging, hull-voiced demagogue, (let rid of him and there Is no problem, social or economic which the people of this country can not solve." R. L. Babson In Rotary Slagnzlne. TIIKRE IS a tremendous amount of truth in that. . The irrespon sible self-seeking demagogue, with his fluent loiigfle, his Jaiis :bleisophistries, his subtle appeal to unworthy human passions, is far more dangerous to this republic than hundreds of our sineere, but misguided radicals, who fight in the open, and therefore can be con trolled. Hut the demagogue is not a demagogue because he likes tho job, but because demagoguery pays. In short, lie is not a spontaneous creation, he is the product of our political psychology. Tho ranting professional politician will stop liig flubdubbery the moment he finds that the people as a whole see through it, and not until then. Tho obvious remedy for the disease, to which Mr, Babson attrib utes all our ills, therefore rests with the people. When the average man or woman takes enough interest in politics and politicians, to ap praise both, when a certain habit of discriminating between noise and fury, and sense and fact, is acquired b3r the people as a whole, then the demagogue will disappear because he will find that his special line of bunkum doesn't sell. . Hut until there is a keener political consciousness, until there is a more general political awareness and sense of responsibility, until more than twenty or thirty per cent of the people, for example, take enough interest in public affairs to go to tlio polls, there is no hope of bettering the conditions, Mr. Uabson deplores. The problem is absolutely up to the people, here, there and every where. The trouble goes back, not to the demagogue, but to political indifference and popular inertia, when public affairs are concerned. QUILL POINTS At ony rate nobody accuses Uaugherty of vindictiveness. It isn't much of a reform wave that deletes hops and substitutes Imp. Just a little while ago the fellow smeared with oil was a mechanic, not a statesman. Great Britain recognised Russia, but tit this distance it seemed lit tlu more than n nod. At any rate Jesse James never raised n hood and tightened a Bpark plug and charged $3.85. : The rooster is the only genuine feminist. IIo cackles approval of the hen's accomplishment.

A good vocabulary of cuss words doesn 't help you much, now that so many of tho book agents are females. Well, it's a fair division. 'When yon sign his note, he borrows the money and you borrow trouble. Women are braver than men. No man would dare try on $125 gar mcnts if ho had only 15 cents. ' Few enn be archaeologists, but all of vis can get the thrill of hard adventure by digging up the rent money. Wo can't remember having heard of n man who held tho plow handles until he was a nervous wreck. What-pcople really mean by "free speech" is the right to insult the strong without getting their just desserts. As a general thing, the first business of those who investigate an automobile accident is to look for tho bottle. In literature we are reaching the point where a man's degree of erudition is estimated by the number of things ho cusses. Fable : Once there was a man who had beon so perfect as n boy that he didn't worry, when his daughter went out with other boys. RipplingRhi)roos y Walt Makon AT FIRST SIGHT. TIIKRE'S a story most romantic in tho Morning Blade today, telling how young Andrew Antic married Jane Augusta Hay. They were strangers in the morning, and at evening they were wed, with a bridal veil adorning Jane Augusta's queenly head. After seven hours of wooing lio had won her for his bride, and they're off, their flivver chooing, honeymooning in their pride. "Love is surely most compelling," I remark to Gaffer Brown.; "when iu humau hearts it's dwelling,, prudence caunot turn it down." "Lovers still will go their courses," sadly Gaffer Brown replies, "though they wind up with divorces when the pru mid glamor dies. . Love is full of deadly dangers, and said dangers must prevail, when a pair of giddy strangers gambol to the altar rail. For a man should kuow the failings of the sweetest maid on earth, and a girl should dodgo white, veilings till she knows a lover's worth. But the words of wise old gaffers never can per suade the young, they are sciorners, they aro laughers, at the germs that leave my tongue., And they go their silly courses, looking not an ell ahead, and we read of more divorces, with the searohen'd done in rod."

Add rest Or. William Brady, In care of this newspaper. Capital Compromise It's a poor sport who von't meet you half way, as' the dealer remarks when he finally consents to allow $ 1 2 H on the old bus you had decided to turn In at $850, and Home such equit able compromt.se should compose the differences -to give 'em a polile name which agitato the atnioHphere bo often tht'HO duys when fulka who wunt fresh air are incon siderately housed to gether with folks who don't. The dilemma Is a conventional t w o- horned affair: In it a draft? And any how doesn't It en danger life and limb? Taking one hofn at a time and that must bo the ieft;",you see, you are pretty certain to loso your hold and let the dilemma get 'away from you no matter how firmly you gniHp the darned thin. Tho rnnln trouble with a draft is that, like the socnlled "cold," if or when you've trapped it you discover that it Isn't one at all. No two in dividuals have ever been known to agree precisely upon a definition for a draft or a "cold." That's the beau ty of these ideas for debating pur poses It is impossible to corner an opponent. That comparatively ndmlrahle hy- gienist, author, and I think authority. KoHenau, in his "Preventive Medicine and Hygiene" (Appleton), puge KJKi, makes a bravo attempt to define drafts, beginning about where our good friend Dr. Noah Webster leaves off. Webster wisely observes that a draft is a current of air and washes his hands of tho matter. Dr. KoHenau tells us that when a current of air at the temperature of 55 to tlu degrees F. moves at the rate of one mile an hour there is no perceptible draft. This might seem like shaving a fine point, but to clarify the argument further I will suggest that we omit the word perceptible and then we'll gt better sense out of it. Then Dr. Itosennu (who is professor of preventive medi cine nnd hygiene and director of the school of public health at Harvard) elaborates to this effect: Air moving at 1.5 feet per second (one mile an hour) Imperceptible. Air moving 2.6 feet per second (1. miles an hour) barely perceptible. Air moving 3.0 feet per second (2.0 miles an hour) perceptible. Air moving 3.5 feet per second (2.3 miles an houiOdrnft. So you see, even Dr. Rosenau, pains taking nnd precise man of science tho he be, succeeds only In confusing the issue, for his description of these degrees of perceptibility implies that an air current may be perceptible yet not a full fledged draft. That's what I think, too, only more so. I iook upon llosonau's textbook as one of the top sholf classics, In deed it Is the authoritative work on tho subject, hut ns tho foregoing shows, the poor man Is as sadly con fused on the draft and "cold" ques tion ns any mere layman could be. But tnke my advice, lay folk, and let this dilemma alone. When tho thing Invades your office, shop or home, do not get excited and .quarrel over it. Lrft the open window enthus iasts and the closed window bone heads contribute each a part of the price of some cloth window screen, set the screens iu tho window nnd everybody get back to work satisfied, for this compromise does solve the problem.

It often means you are minus nerve powef, minus red-cells in your blood, minus health, minus vitality. It is serious to be minus, but the moment you increase the number of your red -blood-cells, you Degin to Be come plus. That's why S. S.

Have I cause for alarm? L. M. II.) Answer. Cancer is uncommon at 30 but sometimes occurs even earlier. Such a pain, without swelling or lump, is probably not a serious matter. In most cases of actual cancer there Is no pain in the earlier stage. But you're old enough now to have good sense and undergo an annual health examination, and the doctor will ad vise you whether your trouble Is sig nificant. Another of Those Damp Flats I am the mother of two children aged 1 year and 2 years. We re cently moved into a flat and found It to be very damp. As I have some lung trouble, also chronic bronchitis, I wonder if this dampness will make my condition worse ... Or if it will harm the children. . . (Mrs. M.J.V.) Answer I do not think it will. Tho dampness may be a source of discom fort and annoyance, but it will not injure health. Developing the Calves I am plump, except from my knees down my legs are so skinny. Is there any exercise or anything I can do to make my legs larger? (L. A.) Answer. Ha Met or toe dancing is an excellent exercise to develop the calves. Shrinking Fast I have been reducing at tho rate of three pounds a week- by having ono Karell day each week and substitut ing fruit for one meal every day. 1 have also cut out all candy. Hut I find my face looks somewhat drawn and wrinkled. Tho I feel wonderfully well, some people say I will look lots older if I try to reduce at my age. I am 3 (Mrs. W. W. E.)

BiSWRltRAfy. - It f,T II THE GREATEST TTIIXQ IS THE WORLD by Laurel, Gray ' 'Mi miicf that innocent little article vokipi-.i.-.v? I cot called down for it nh Ve riirht hard too. "What's the idea?" demanded . feminine voice, my guess is nbout (i years). "Are t'OU getting old or iv h a t 7" M e.f c y lidn't I say I was ray nnd young and aro-frec? "Life is what you make It." went on tills ven- rablo friend, over Lhe telephone. Oh. gosh, how I do j yearn to slap peo ple who say "Life is what you make it." You might Just ns well sit upon an oracular throne nnd solemnly boom thiB: "Hocus l'ocus Mumbo Jumbo l'le." It means about ns much. Life is NOT what you make it, dear. YOUIt life is what you make of it by your attitude toward those about you. That is why the reflection of love is tho true expression of love. It rliay bo that I wander far from my usual discourse, and that I stray beyond my depths, but I can't help but feel that all the unhapplness that is visited upon us is only the reaction or re bound of unhapplness that we have, wittingly or unwittingly, inflicted upon others at some other time. The sublime flexibility of love is Its great est force and greatest vital ingredient. One never actually sacrifices for love's sake, for lovo is made up of all the virtues of human character. Nay. life Is not what we make it. We are what love makes of us. lit lo I rrJT.l -llrtlsrv Kr V B1W VaVlIlT IM I IssMWsMlst i H'ATT,-, i .Vta Safe. Milk For Infanta, Invalids. Children.
