He was taken to Versailles Monday night by Carl Wilson and Robert Burdge, and a very pleasant hour was spent by Mr. Steveson and his former Eskimo pupil.

Stutz Sues Parents Harold Stutz has filed a suit in common pleas court, against his father-in-law and mother-inlaw, William Weaver and Sarah Bell Weaver, for $5,000 damages for alienating his wife's affections. The suit is the outcome of a suit for divorce filed by his wife, Lizzie Weaver Stutz, a few days ago, and to which the husband has filed a cross petition. The plaintiff charges that after their marriage they went to live with his wife's parents and for a time all was serene, but the parents of his wife took a dislike to him for some cause and then estranged his- wife's affections. They drove him from their

superintendent. In Jackson township also, according to township superintendent Hines, the enrollment is 125 for the hih school, which is 25 in excess of last year. This school serves only Jackson township, while Hagerstown admits pupils from Dalton as well as Jefferson township.

WASHINGTON. D. C Sept. 7. The time seems to be close at hand when no politician will be a hero to his

constituent when in fact, no public

figure, dead or alive, will be a hero to any one who reads. Instead of considering presidents, senators, diplomats and generals great men, remote and different from ourselves, we will know more about their weaknesses and failings than about any one else's. A certain public man, for example, has impressed the whole world with his dominating manner. He seems to regard himself almost as a god. A certain writer who has studied psychoanalysis, among other things, writes a piece about him and shows that he is really a timid fellow with an inferiority complex, and that all hs lordly manner is a desperate effort to pump his own courage and make himself believe that he is of some account. The writer may not be wholly correct, but at least he has offered a plausible theory. Heretofore our public men have been sold to us by campaign oratory and journalism. A voter might easily have read five years ago, in the magazines and heard in speeches a million words about leading public men, and have known less about them than he did before he started. The reason was that nearly every word he read or heard had a political bias. He could read an article on the presiden

tial candidate, praising him to the skies, comparing him to Lincoln and Roosevelt and all the other party gods, s howing a picture of him with his nine children and explaining what a model family man he was, setting him up as nothing less than unmitigated perfection. With equal ease this man could find

articles in which the same presidential candidate was shown up as an incompetent and a tool of the trusts. It would be proved by documents that his great-great-grandmother was an Indian horse thief and that he himself once went to Atlantic City for a week

end with his cook. A Misinformed Public. What should the voter believe. If a stupid and partisan man he would agree with what supported his party, and if an intelligent and open-minded

fellow he would believe nothing. He would admit that it was impossible for him to get any real estimate of the men for whom he had to vote, that 98 per cent of everything written and said about our public men has been just so much sand in the voter's eye. There have been a few exceptions, of course. The brilliant journalist, Samuel G. Blythe, wrote a long series of sketches of public men which were distinguished by a satirical and comparatively unbiased point of view. He destroyed more than one meretricious reputation, and politicians feared him as a darkey fears the devil. But he was a lone and exceptional figure, and furthermore he was a caricaturist in words rather than a competent analyst of men and events. The honest and scientific analysis of 1-ublic men is an art which has come into being within the past few years, and which is just now getting a foothold in this country. Beyond a doubt it derives its strength and its methods from the science of psychoanalysis, however much some of its practitioners may try to deny the fact. Its most conspicuous example so far

is the anonymous book "Mirrors of Washington," which has made a sensation in the Capital City. It is modeled after a similar book, "Mirrors of Downing Street," which has treated the British administration in the same way and achieved a wide popularity in England. It is a series of sketches of American politicians presidents, senators and diplomats. The most striking thing about it is that it evidently is quite without political bias. The unknown author of this book sees his subject from the viewpoint of an artist. His only object is to portray and interpret his man to make you see and understand him. His book has received much adverse criticism as well as much praise. It has been said that in some cases his facts are wrong, and that in others he has revealed a personal dislike. He also has been blamed for not signing his name to a book which is so sure to be resented by a great many people. An Attempt at the Truth. But ever his detractors admit that he has written a brilliant and interesting book. No mere human can ever get at the complete truth about any one. The best he can do is to offer a plausible theory, logical and supported by evidence. This the author of "Mirrors" most effectively does. Out of many such attempts comes the nearest approximation to the truth that we

can hope for. If our public men were constantly subjected to this sort of cool, scientific analysis, every voter who reads would finally come to have

a clear idea of them. That is the one thing above all others that the voter needs and in the past has lacked. It has been 6aid a thousand times that in America political life attracts only second-rate men, that the real brains of the country seldom get into its government. Surely one reason for this has been that the real stature and capacity of our political figures has always been hidden. Our political journalism and oratory has been a smoke screen behind which frauds and bounders of all sorts have advanced to high positions and have done incalculable harm. A book like "Mirrors," whatever its faults, is a brave attempt to throw a

oeam or light through this cloud of obscurity, to reveal the true size and nature of some of the strange beings that dwell behind it. And the same spirit and viewpoint that animates "Mirrors" may be found cropping out in other places. Some of the magazines display a far more critical and detached view of public men than they used to. There is strong reason to believe that a new kind of political journalism is coming into being, and that the old partisan buncombe is going to die of its own absurdity and weakness.

WE ARE WORKING WAY OUT OF WASTE, SAYS PRESIDENT HARDING

WASHINGTON, Sept 7. President

Harding, in a letter reviewing achieve

ments to date of the Republican administration, particularly with reference to congress, declared that "surveying the national situation as a whole, it is plain that we are working our way out of a welter of waste and prodigal spending at a most impressive rate." The letter, made public late Tuesday, was written by the president under date of Aug. 29 to Senator Medill McCormick, of Illinois, and it is understood will be used in the campaign in New Mexico, where Senator Burson, appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Albert B. Fall, secretary of interior, is a candidate for election. The letter, it also is understood, is considered by Republican leaders to be a reply to attacks on the legislative record of the Republican congress by Chairman White, of the Democratic national committee, and other leading Democrats. "Make Much Progress" "We have made much progress toward retrenchment, and greatly increased efficiency," the president asserts. "I cannot but account it to be a monumental accomplishment which has marked the work of the extraordinary session down to the time of its recess." Looking to the future, Mr. Harding

in his letter expresses the confident

hope "that congress, after the recess and before the end of the extraordin

ary session, will adopt both the tariff and taxation measures and that along

with these it will pass the bill to permit funding of the debt owed to us by foreign governments." "This. I hope," the president adds, "shortly will be followed by arrangements under which debtor countries will begin paying interest on their obligations. "Likewise, I am confident that the bill facilitating funding of the debt of the railways to the United States will become law during the extraordinary session, thus insuring a large and immediate demand for employment of men now idle."

AUTO STOLEN FROM GARAGE NOBLES VILLE, Ind.. Sept. 7. A sedan belonging to L. M. Wainwright, president of the Diamond Chain company of Indianapolis, was stolen from the garage of his mother, Mrs. W. A. Wainwright, near this city. Wainwright brought the car here a week ago for his mother to use while her machine was in a shop lor repairs. The thieves opened the doors of the building and drove the machine away while no one was at home.
