PRTTliV UVIIADV ? > ion Ernest Moore, of Lancaster, has Iteen elected judge of the Sixth Circuit, to succeed Judge Gage, promoted to the Supreme bench. This selection is a good one.

This selection will be approved by the people of the State. Judge Gage is capable and worthy the high honor the legislature has conferred upon ! 'him. .1 V.! AT HOME AND ABROAp. . There are many people, male and ... | female, who are quite |differeot..qer. ah? ; smile over the counter or desk ; throughout the busy day. At night, < around their fireside, they never - smile. They are very different per. 1 spns at home and abroad. There are .many young girls who smile most pleasantly and speak most cheerfully away from home. These same young ladies at home reveal some very ugly characteristics. One would not take them to be the same persons, so vastly changed are they in the two environments. All smiles abroad; all frowns at home. Honeyed words abroad; bitted words at home. Gen_ - - _ I tleness and kindness abroad; rude and ugly behavior at home. BIG BUSINESS. President Wilson has shown clearly that he is not the enemy of "fiipr business," but that he is the enemy of monopoly. After all that is just the attitude that one would expect of the president. He is too clear of vision to be led into opposition to real advancement and he is too far removed from the sphere of the demagogue to be led into the error of wholesale condemnation. It is the day of big business. Gigantic enterprises, enterprises that no one man could plan and execute are constantly being launched. There is to be no unjust discrimination against honest enterprise, no matter how big or how small. On the other hand, these enterprises must come under the rules of justice and honor in their activities. Are not these just the rules on both sides of the question? WORK VS. DINNERS. Spaeker Clark, upon being criticized for refusing to attend a Democratic diner recently given in Washington, gives vent to some very sen sible, even if rather biting remarks. Mapolean Bonapart, exasperate<l by reason of the carousal of his army officers once exclaimed in anger: "It ,i<< not by playing and dancing that a 'man is made." Speaker Clark said: "I have cut all dinners and functions except those I feel under obligations to1 attend irt my officii' capacity," ?aid the speaker. "I did this for two reasons: 1. Because T hive no time ^ 7 to attend them. I have too much to do. 2. Mr. Spoflford, so long librarian of congress, once told me that most public men and army and navy officers who died in Washington 'dug their graves with their own teeth,' a saying which I took to heart. "The people of the country are not interested to any considerable extent about dinners in Washington, but they are very much interested as to what congress does, and when it does it, and I am trying my best to expedite business so that we can get away from here before the frost flies next fall and give the country a rest. That is a good policy for both the country and the Democratic party." WEST SPRINGS WfQT CDDTXTriO T V*_ ou a ui mnuo, Jan. ci.-'?rroi. (). M.
