Tearing Of his coat, he ran toward Egan, and they met in the center of the field and staged a regular battle royal, with the members of both teams cheering them on to in- creased effort from the windows of the clubhouses. Popular opinion declared Joe the victor, and after straightening his necktie, he hurried along to keep his date, without a comment or a glance at his dis- comfited rival. Snap Judgments Performers O*E DOESN'T know in these days of captious critics how to behave in order to generally please. Some people are never satisfied. There’s the Hon. Fred A. Britten, of Illinois, who the other day in the House made a speech and put the distinguished Secretary of State in the class with performers like Gaby Des- lys. This orator went on to state with careless abandon that any one who had seen Gaby’s five thousand dollars’ worth of clothes and fifty dollars’ worth of tal- ent would say that she had capitalized her association with a king and not her ability. The statesman should have been more careful of his facts. If he can buy Gaby’s clothes—those we saw—for $5,000, he has gone a long way toward solving the cost of high living. We paid three dol- lars once for a six-bits seat, and speak, therefore, with authority. On another cecasion, when we were equally reckless, we went to see Gaby and failed to notice much more in the way of sartorial adorn- ment than is usually affected by a bird of paradise, only Gaby wore hers in another place; that is, her feathers were not so equally distributed. Still, we were satis- fied with what we did see and had no in- clination to ask for a rain check. It’s about time some stand was taken to protect public men from indiscriminate criticism. The congressman from Illinois should remember that W. J. B. only costs this nation $12,000 a year and has given the country more advertising than any- thing since Theodore refereed the fight between Russia and Japan. The gentle- man from the middle West should also bear in mind that if Mr. Bryan had not been made Secretary of State, he might some time or other have been made Presi- + dent, at a salary of $75,000 a year; and we have it on reliable authority that Mr. Bryan’s wardrobe, including his tuxedo, isn't worth $500. As we said before, some people are never satisfied. Maurice Switzer.
