STEP BACK BOYS FIRST! vinfw n hey vr'jrlh to th community? Chicago. bl.ivA g: nearly .1.000,000 ivo W, will find out. It --.t aside tili w'k in honor of Hoyville. No fund"! solicit!. No tic tl'uys. M-r-ly a lrive to arrest thought and concentrate attention on th boy and hi problem1 and how to make him prow up into ;t rrackerjack citizen. Thcre' a lrip wf.rth while. Chicago think it's nredod. Thp Chicapo r.otary ciuh. for Instance, completes a furvcy of the city's boy-life. The Purvey Rhoufl that out of 325.G00 hoys b.-tween the acs of 10 and 20. only a sixth are belnff reached by a?encie t nased In spec-lflc work for boys constructive aqencus. Plenty of dtructive apencies art- working on tiu- six-fixth.. The Chicago ITnion Iairu- foundation has a boys club in one of the nmft rr.nr5ttd wards. It finds that Juvenile delinquency has increased In that ward 71 prP"1 in the la?t y-ar. Tivese. facts have roused Chicago busings men. They have organized to furnish supenifwd cluh work for local boy. Thi means that business men, in studying the importance of the human factor, are reaching the conclusion that the adult problem which disturb society are in large degree the ripened fruit of neglected boyhood. Developing the- hoy a a potential social asset is wjser business and sounder economy than paying for the, criminal, the drifter, the disturber and the 'parasite as community liabilities. Man. by congeat- : ins in cities, has robbed boyhood of its rightful heritage the great outdoors for wholesome sport and development. Virtually Imprisoned, many follow the wrong road. If citk had given boys better attention a decade or two ago, there would now be lesw crime and heiter public spirit. It's not too lato to correct the evil. Chicago sets a good example. South Ii nd might profitably have its own boy week. -O" YOUR ROAD TO FAME. Would you be famous in Houth I'.end. years after you die? Why not? Conrtder the ca.se of Thomas Fniith JefTerys. a plain flour miller, the 27th anniversary of whoso death Is being ob.ervcd with much honor at York. S. C. Did JefTerys write a great book, or paint a famous picture, or make a career in politics? Not much. All he did was invent a simple little device. Jeffery got his golden idea in 1852. when South Carolina was one of the leading wheat state, just as it now rank hinh in cotton. In those day. flour ra. alway shipped in barrels. No one had ever thought of iifini? sacks. .Tefferys was a flour miller. A biff order came In one day when there was a hortace of coopers and he couldn't get barrels. Did Jefferys hold up shipment? He did not. He bough; cotton sheeting and had hL wife make flour sacks. Jefferysi was the first man to hip flour in a ack irvNtead of barrels. That saved money. It made him rich. HLs idea was adopted all over the country. Today, long after hi passage, he i. famous all through the milling trade and in hi home town. The world needs morn simple and helpful ideas, nuch a using mcks instead of barrels for shipfing flour. If you can think up anything that will save 'work and money In producing or distributing goods, ou Uko JefTery can disprove the saying that "a prophet s not without honor save in his own country." It may not bring you national fame, but it will ftflstro you cf nn honorable- and lasting standing in your home town. and. after all. that is the finest kind of fame.
THE CITY MANAGER MOVEMENT MUST NOT BECOME SOREHEAD MOVEMENT. Kathor than permit the city manager movement In Fouth Bend to become a "sorehead" movement, a ystem of governnivnt to be put over by politicians and partisans peeved because of defeats at the recent primary, on a rule or ruin basis, wo would favor abandonment of the canijaJgn. That was not the Idea of the originators of the undertaking. What they wanted wan a chance to vote upon it, to have a campaign of education, an 1 then decide upon tome basis of abstract princ'ple, if y.m ;!ease. whether or not the change is desirable. We do not want a change of city government ihe outgrowth of revenge, hate, prejudice, or anything oiher than Intelligent desire. We might ha.ve had that had City Clerk H:llnsU I erformed hia known duty, and politico-legalist.-kept their hand and intrigues out of the legitimate progreaa of the movement. Could the referendum election have preceded tho primary, a campafjrti of tducation upon it, we Klieve would hrve p-it it over, and if not. then well and good. The failure would have Wf-ri because the people didn't v.-ant it. If develops new. however, that people from all factions of all parties, want to use it for .1 p V.tloal footbrll; nonitf elements to get revenge, others undergoing nudden conve-rFions Just as chtrac'critiilly personal. We decline to be a party to piunsing South Herd into the expense cf a r-fen ndum election to enable vanquished politicians to get even with their vanquishers. More than that, we do r.ot care to support this movement further at this time, if it must be after th manner of some of its antagonist pi, any more than others of its supporter prsent. We understand that the Kvansville cae, of quite identical nature to one that would be neces-ory to unttrxxlfe the South Uend situation. Is going o the supreme court. Wo have no doubt but tn". 'he I rem court will uphold the hw and the mandamus -T-.rj. r A " Tyt to fft-rt official om pliance.
this, "uncon8tltutional,, lawyers and politlco-l!-i?t notwithrtandlng. but. since the caso is going to the supre-ne court, we will not recommend putting ?(u.h Bend to the expense of a referendum election taking a chance on its being nullified by such a dfclsion. No one knows what a supreme court wlU do. It aometlme-a reverses Itself. Judges are human and there are politicians on the hnch well a practicing at the bar. Clerk Hi".lnkl should be made to do hia work bot we are of the opinion that South Hend understands. Ilegretable that he has never hat enough show of belnjc elected mayor that his defeat in November cannot be construed as a popular rebuke to his official misconduct in this matter. His nomination by the democrats doesn't mean anything except disproof of the charge of republican politicians that the city manager movement was a movement of the democrats. So far as we know he had at least the tacit approval of every other democratic candidate for the mayoralty nomination, and mayhap, for all the other office. We mention this in parsing to exonorate the city manager movement of any organized democratic backing. Democrats signed petitions, same as republicans, but because they believed the system a good thing to look into, and for the cltj- to have, if after a proper study, the people ehould want it, but we (An ee only failure ahead, or at best, an undesirable accompliöhment, if It is to have a "sorehead" appendix. We would feel exactly the same about it had the primaries gone differently and the supporters of the candidates who now have won. had wanted to dash in and grab off the movement for factional rcveng". Some things in this world ought to be done on the square, the result of level-headed, unprejudiced deliberation, and in changing a form of government, assuredly that should be an occasion for it. And so, to our satisfaction, the movement can atop. It L to be hoped, however, that the citizenship will not forget that there Is such a thing as a commission-manager form of government, and at their convenience the people will try to read up on it. that when the occasion arises again they may bd able to converse upon It more or less Intelligently. The amount of popular ignorance with reference to a subject that has been among the most discussed during the last 10 years, evidenced by South Bend people lnce the circulation of the city manager petitions started, has been almost appalling. Men and women who are regarded intelligent, and are reputed for knowledge concerning public matters, indeed, in many cases have proved less learned on this subject than hund-eds of ordinary workeis. That condition should be improved which it can be 11 folks will but contract the habit of ciltivating :hrr intelligence on something more nubstantial than mere headlines In the newspapers ani pictures on the movie screen.

The Tower of Babel
-BY BILL ARMSTRONG-
M'ADOO AND irAJOITTON MO NTS I K NT. (Ft. Wayne Journn!-Ga7ftte.) In a short time the long overdue recognition by the nation of the public Service of Alexander Hamilton will be accorded when the superb statute by J 4 med Earl Fraier is unveiled on the steps of the treasury department at Washing-ton. This- delay haa been made the subject of much wondering comment, and yet there is nothing startling about it. Hamilton was the nation's flint great public financier. But he was something elj?e he was an enemy of popular government. While he threw the weight of -his genius into the scale in favor of the ratification of the constitution, he had but little confidence in the wisdom of the governmental forms they were then adopting. He preferred a monarchical to a republican form of government; an aristocratic rather than a democratic society; the rule of a moneyed business oligarchy to that of the peorle whom he distrusted. This . made him, so unpopular in h!s later days that for generations even the politicians sharing In his views took great pains to disassociate themselvct from his ideas. It would have been impossible for decades after h'H death to have Fecured for him the recognition he ha. been accordtd. But with the passing of the years, and the dangers of federalism, the fame of Hamilton has come to rest more and more upon the fact that he did accomplish wonders in putting the new republic upon a sound financial tais. x .nd this is the really impressive thing about the tribute it was a democratic secretary of the treasury who took the lead in having the tribute paid a democratic secretary who also possesses financial genius, William G. McAdoo. Perhaps we may thus comment without being charged with partisan exaggeration when we are able to quote from uch an uncompromising republican paper as the Boston Transcript: "At any rate, it was not until ec'y McAdoo took it up with untiring real that the question of a monument to Hamilton was settled. For Mr. McAdoo, in hLs capacity as secretary of the treasury, was able to see how great a debt we w to Hamilton, the first secretary. He saw how much of what Hamilton devised Knd rut in motion still remain, realized the greatness of a mind whose ideas could far outlive its century, saw that the chief misdeed which had been held against him enly proved him franker, rather than more frail, than his fellows. So he set generously to work." It would te a grr-ceful recognition of the part that Mr. McAdoo has played in the movement to recognize his greatest predecessor, if he were selected to deliver the oration at the unveiling.

Tins IS HOW IT ALL HAPPENED. Here'a a curious old Sanskrit story of the creation of woman, which you may like to play on the piano some evening:
"In the beginning, when Twashtri came to the creation of .vornan, he found that he had exhiuted his materials in tho making of man. and that no solid elements were left. "In this dilemma, after profound meditation, he did as follows: "He took the rotundity of the moon, the twinkling of stars; the curves of creepers, the clinging of tendril, the trembling of grast, the slenderness of the reed; the bloom of flowers, the lightness of leaves; the tapering of elephants' trunk, the glanres of deer; the clustering of rows of bees, the joyous gaiety of sunbeams: the weepinc of clouds, the fickleness of wind; tae timidity of the hare, the vanityc-f the peacock: the softness cf the parrot's bosom, the hardness of the adamant: the sweetness of honey, the cruelty of thetlser; the warm glow of the fire, the coldness of snow: the chattering of Jays, the cooing of the kokila; the hypocrisy of the crane, the fidelity of the chakravaka: and compounding all these together he made woman and gave her to man. But in two week the man came crying. "O Mighty Master of Mysteries! Thou who has made all the wonders of the world, take again the woman that Thou has given me; she teases me, she tantalizes me and tires me, and I cannot live with her any more.' And Twashtri took the woman away. But in two weeks the man came again, and cried out, 'Give me back the woman that Thou made; I cannot live without her.' "'How now?' came the ar-rwer. 'You brought the woman to me, saying that you could not live with her. What do you want? "Alas, tis true," said the man. "I do not know what I want. I cannot live without her and could not live with her.' "And Twashtri answered: Take the woman now, and do tho best you can together, for I made her for you

Ignorant Essays By J. P. McEVOY
A TWIN BED M2CTURE, (Mrs. Doveleigh has Mr. Doveleigh all dated up for a dinner party at the Zedar'a house. It's a little idea of her own. She is full of them.) We are going to have dinner at Zedar's tomorrow night. DOG-GONE-IT. What are you dog-gon-ing about? We haven't been out to dinner for age. I never get to go, anywh ve. If it was one of your friends I would not hear any dog-goning. You would be right on deck, all dressed up like a Christmas tree. If it's a lodge meeting, you are right on the spot. If it is a stag dinner. I couldn't keep you away with an injunction, hut all I have to say to you is, "we have a dinner engagement, dear," and right away you start to curse and swear around the house. OH I DON'T "WANT TO GO TO ZEDAICS FOR DINNER. I WOULD RATHnU J I AVE DINNER, AT HOME. You are going to have dinner at Zedar's and you are going to dresw up for once and look like a respectable human being. Every time you go out with me you look like a scarecrow. People think you are the ice man. I AM NOT SO LUCKY. Just what do you mean by that? Certainly no wife could be more lenient with a husband than I am with you. That's the trouble with me, I am too easy going. I let you get away with anything. I am always doing what you want to do but never what I want. I never go anywhere. I never get out, but you are never home except the nights I want to go out. The surest way to keep you home is to tell you that I would like to go out somewhere. All I have to do is say
wo are going to have dinner with some friends, and immediately a groat love for your home comes over you. You become a household companion and a fireside pet. But tho other nights you are a gay dog a man about town. I stay home here and pine and worry while you are having the time of your young life, but let me suggest going out with you ha, that's a different ?tory. You have no time for your wife. It isn't as if I was dragging you out every night. The last time you took me to the movies they were five cents and every three minutes the operator would flash a sign saying, "Jus-t one moment please until we fix the film." Kvery picture looked as if it had been taken in a hail storm. Tho last musical show you took me to was "The Chocolate Soldier." I haven't seen one since I have ibeen married. Don't they make them any more? How I remember the candy you used to bring me and flowers. Now you bring me "Gold Medal" or "Aunt Jemimas." To think I wasted my young life on you and now you won't even take me to dinner even when somebody else buys It. If I was asking you to go to a restaurant and buy me a dinner, I could understand your objection. It seems to mo tho last meal you bought me was our wedding breakfast. YOU AHH NOT TIRKD ARK YOlT? You would make any woman tired. Well, are you going to take me to tho Zedar's for dinner tomorrow night. Do you understand me? YES. DKAR. Then. what's the Idea of arguing about It all night? I never saw such a man for arguing. (Copyright. 1921.)
More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUH
ITS A HAND IJFK. You could not to the hen impute A wish to wound or hurt you; She's diligent in the pursuit Of every homely virtue. With honest industry she earns Her breakfast, lunch and dinner. And for these blessings she returns The best that there is in her. Yet when the hen at last is floored By years of stern endeavor. Does fhe receive the just reward Of sterling virtue never! With cold and calculating stare The butcher contemplates her. And she is hurried off to where A casserole awaits her! But pat the clam upon his shell. His grateful glance requitea you, He never gets a peevish spell Or barks, or growls or bites you. Within a narrow compass curled He has small chance for action.
But he would not. for all the. world Express dissatisfaction. Untouched by malloe, greed or hate From rectitude unswerving. The very noblest gifts of fate Are not past his deserving. Though dull and drear has been his past He is not hard or bitter. And yet th patient dam at last Will finish in a fritter! (Copyright. 1921.)

MOTI mil's DAY. Tender, gentle, brave and true, Loving us whate'-er we do! Waiting, watching at the gate For the footsteps that arc tote. Sleepless through the hours of night Till she knows that we're all right. Pleased with every word we say That is every mother's way. Others fmeer and turn aside. Mother welcomes us with pride; Over-boastful of us. tco Glory ing in all we do. First to praise and last to blame, . Love that always stays the same. Following us where'er we stray That is ever mother's w.:y. She would grant us all we seek. Give her strength where we are weak. Beauty? She would let it go For the joy we yearn to know. Life? She'd give It gladly, too. For th dream that we pursue; She would toil that wo might play That is ever mother's way. Not enough for her are flowers. Her life la so blent with ours That in all we dare and do She is partner, through and through; Suffering when we suffer pnln. Happy when we smile again. Living with us, ni-ht ard day That is ever mother's way. (Copyright. Ul'l.)
