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.

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." ' -

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. The unbleached muslin ad
mits fresh air nnd light and excludes
everything else except burglurs.

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.

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.
