Think It Over ANDIDATES nowadays are prone to advertise themselves as “stronger than their party.” To appeal to isms rather than issues, to parade persons and to subordinate principles is the vogue of our time. Political leaders before election are expected to help out—and after elec- tion to stay out. General Edward Jones he pays the freight’’—who was licu- tenant-governor with David B. Hill, once boasted that he was stronger than Hill. “How do you make that out?” asked the Governor. “T polled several thousand votes more than you did,” said Jones. “Oh, no, you didn’t,” said Hill. “You polled several hundred thousand less than I did. Lam the party leader—I am the issue. Your friends gave you a few thousand votes I gave you all the rest!” Think it over! Urban Iciness EOPLE who live in big towns should refrain from all symptoms of sur- prise, clation or disgust. If they do not, people from small towns may fail to be impressed by their superi- ority. Indeed it has come to a point where a certain frigidity may be considered essential to the finished ur- banite. Naturalness and occasional spontaneity mark the rustic and show a sad lack of acquaintance . with that amazing mass of mat- ters that bore the city man to death. Jollie—Do you like long walks ? If you live in a city of more than a million and want it known, never allow yourself to be impressed by any- thing. Treat everything and everybody as if you confidently expected anything to happen and were already resigned to it. If you feel yourself lapsing into ad- miration or wonder, look bored, lift your eyebrows a trifle and dismiss the matter as you would a ten-million-dollar fraud or the assassination of a mayor. If you are to be a worth-while urbanite you must guard your superiority as you No matter what your be, all the elements of the metropolis—the subways, the clevateds, the skyscrapers, the graft, the scandal, the crime, the billion-dollar mergers, the police force, the amuse ments, and the incomprehensible public service corporations —are part and parcel of your personality and should be taken when judgment is would your life. position in life ma into consideration passed upon you.
