LUCK »AND PLUCK.'Twixt Luck and Pluck

Lies but a letter..Right good is Luck.But Pluck is better.

For Luck you sitAnd wait his wooing.

But Pluck means Grit,And Something Doing.

"Flight1 wandered by the White House grounds and

aaw an aviator fly. It was a wondrous sight, byZounds! the way that man abused the "sky! Heturned and twisted, rose and swooped and threwa brace of somersaults, a dozen kinds of loops he

9 looped, he danced the one-step and the waltz.There was a farmer standing near. He watchedthe show with callous eye, and chewed tobacco;it was clear he had no use for men who fly. Andwhen I said to him "How great the genius of thehuman race, that emulates the bird's estate andcircumnavigates in space?"· He simply answeredwith a grunt. "Mebbe," says he, "but I allowthere aint no use in such a stunt. Why don't hego and drive a plow, or rastle stumps or fattenpigs and earn some kale like others do? Theyain't no sense in them fool rigs that never' do a

thing but buzz!" "O ancient simpleton!" I cried,"Do you not know that this here geek gets twentythousand bones a ride and banks a million everyweek. These men that pull' the flying act are

»imply weighted down with mon!" "Gee!" criedthe rube, "Is that a fact! And earns it, likely!Well, I swan!" The scope of man's inventivemind. The mystery of human flight, had failedto penetrate his rind because there was no coinin sight. But when I told him that it pays to leadthe dashing airman's life he watched the show withfrank amaze, and wrote about it to his wife.

A One-Cent Sunday Morning NewspaperJust a word this mc ning right at the top and

next to reading matter! Without apology andwithout boasting in advance, we invite the criticalattention of all the readers of The WashingtonHerald this morning to The Washington Herald oftomorrow.the issue that will represent a depar¬ture from the accepted standard of the Sundaymorning newspaper and the beginning of an ex¬

periment, of which we want Washington readersto be the principal directors. Tomorrow's Herald.the Sunday issue.is to be primarily a newspaper,with the essential Sunday news features added toThe Herald of week days, but supplied to the read¬er at exactly the same price.ONE CF.NT. lt willbe worth more than oni- cent; white paper whichwill be required for üie printing of the news alonewill cost nearer two cents, for the news, be itremembered, is to predominate in the SundayHerald beginning tomorrow. The WashingtonHerald confidently believes that Washington news¬

paper readers will be prompt to grasp the oppor¬tunity to pay one cent for two cents worth ofnews alone, without putting any of the other at¬tractive features of the Sunday issue into the scaleat all. It believes, too, that there are many thou¬sands of persons in Washington who, while theymay have more leisure on Sundays than on weekdays, find too many other things appealing to theirinterest on that day to permit them to devote thenecessary time to discovering the news among a

vast amount of other matter in the morning paperthat to them is of minor importance compared withthe news of the day, the news oi Washington inparticular, of the world in general,. And all thisin compact form will be easily found in the Sun¬day Herald. This is the theory upon which TheHerald's experiment is constructed; what the factis it will learn from its readers; and this is thereason why it invites their critical attention to to¬morrow's issue.

As a final hint, a reminder of a second cup ofcoffee after breakfast, or a third cup, as the case

may be.but not like the thiriT cup for which a

certain famous statesman reached in vain.therewill be the Goldberg cartoons and the four-page comic section in colors in the SundayHerald. You have only to reach for them andthey are yours. The price is ONE CENT. Weshall leave it to our readers to fix the value

Forgetting It About the Persia.It will be a most unfortunate thing if the gov¬

ernment decides to take no action in the Persiacase on the ground that no evidence is forthcom¬ing as to how she was sunk. As a matter of factthere is about ten times as much evidence thatshe was sunk by an Austrian or Germán subma¬rine as there was that the Maine was blown upby a Spanish bomb. But we went to war over

the last-named incident. The Persia was sunk ina neighborhood where Austro-Grrman submarinesare known to be operating and where there are no

minefields within a hundred miles or more. More¬over it is not in the least bit likely that she wouldhave sunk as fast as she did if she had been struckby a mine. If the government now refuses to actfor want of evidence it will mean that the practiceof torpedoing passenger ships without warning willcontinue unchecked. It is only a question of thesubmarine remaining submerged, showing no flagand making a clean job of destruction. That donethe "evidence" that Washington wants will never

be forthcoming. Our government ought to say toVienna and Germany "The next time a ship istorpedoed without the passengers being first re¬

moved to a place of safety we will declare war on

both of you." It would not occur again.

A Low Plot Exposed.Several days ago The Washington Herald com¬

mented on an alleged interview, which it had no

reason to distrust since it appeared in that mostreliable paper, the New York Times, in which MissMabel Boardnian, of the American Red Cross So¬ciety, was quoted as having stated that GreatBritain had stopped the sending of hospital, sup¬plies of all sorts to Germany, thereby committingthe "most inhuman act of the war." The reportdrew a denial from the British Embassy in Wash¬ington, in which it was pointed out that only rub¬ber goods had been refused entrance into Germanyand that Great Britain had offered to allow theseto pass if the American Red Cross could givesome sort of guarantee that they would be usedonly for hospital purposes. This the AmericanRed Cross could not do, as it has not been permit¬ted to carry on its work in Germany.

Wc have now received from the editor of theAmerican Red Cross Magazine a clipping from a

later issue of the New York Times containing a

letter from Miss Boardman denying that she ever

made such a statement and an expression of re¬

gret from the Times that it should have been"victimized." To that expression of regret we

gladly add our own. Need it be said that our sat¬isfaction at finding that Miss Boardnian repudiatesthe statements attributed to her only equals our

regret at discovering that we have, though withoutnegligence or ill-will, cast unmerited reflections on

her fairmindedness.It is unfortunate if the matter must end here.

For every hundred thousand Americans who read.and believe.the statements attributed to MissBoardman not more than one has seen or will see

her letter of repudiation. For the influences thatwere interested in circulating the libel are notat all anxious that its falsity should be made public.Surely it is possible for the New York Times andthe Red Cross Society together to reveal the foun¬tain head of this and other publicity matter put ?

out with the avowed object of turning the peopleof the United States against Britain and her alliesin such a way that all may know tnat, thoughDernburg and Dumba have departed from our

midst, their spirits go marching on. We shall !never know until the war is ended how thoroughlyGerman gold and German effort have succeededin enmeshing the minds of Americans in a webof misinformation and lies and deceit. But hereat least is an example that could and should bepublished broadcast through the land that all whojun may read. ^

The Luck Zone.H) JOHN I). BtllRV.

The believer in luck was talking to me aboutan acquaintance who was having a successful ca¬reer in politics. "It wouldn't surprise me if hewefe to reach a place of great distinction, in spiteof his not having great ability."

"What would the explanation be?" I said."He's in the luck zone."The reply made me curious. My questioning

brought out this answer: "Some people 'get inthe luck zone early in life. Others get there inmiddle life or late in life, or they never get thereat all. Some people get in for a short time anddon't seem to be able to stay in. Others, like theman wc are speaking of, when once they get in,seem to be firmly planted there for good. Theyhave one streak oí luck after another. Rooseveltused to be tne ideal example of this kind in ourpublic life. But during the past few years luckhas turned against him and it looks now as if hemight never gH into the luck zone again. But Ihave such faith in his luck that I believe, one ofthese days, perhaps very soon, wc shall, find himstanding there with the people gathering aroundhim as they used to do."

Though I was interested in these remarks, Idid not wholly agree with the spirit behind them.What I heard called "luck" seemed to me to beassociated with qualities not necessarily related toluck, ability to make the most of a situation, con¬fidence, energy, persistence, together with otherqualities belonging to character. Roosevelt, thoughhe had undoubtedly been lucky at certain stagesof his brilliant career, had not by any means reliedon luck for his success. For example, when hewas virtually forced to take the nomination for\ ice President, many people believed that his po¬litical career had been side-traclfffl and wereastounded when the death of McKinley, at thehand of an assassin, made him President. But, iflhat assassination had not taken place, even in theVice Presidency, Roosevelt would have made him¬self a powerful figure. Besides, as President, iflie had not possessed the qualities necessary tomeet so great an emergency, he never could haveft* ? ? the confidence and support of the country.

As a matter of fact, in one sense, we all livein the luck zone. Kvery day opportunities cometo us for good. It is for us to accept or reject.The saying applies even to those who are not givenwhat wc call a fair chance in life, to the disin¬herited. For, cruel as their lot must be, it, too,has its reliefs in those dispensations of Providencewhich are not in any way associated with wordlyadvantage. It is unquestionable that some peoplehave spent all their lives in poverty and have yetled happy lives. They surely belong in the luckzone. On the other hand, there arc those whoapparently spend their whole lives in what theworld regards as the luck zone, who are surround¬ed with the tokens of luck, and who are neverthe¬less among the most miserable of the earth.

What is the explanation? It seems to mc thatit is simple; The real luck zone lies within our¬selves. It carries with it a kind of alcVemy, agift far greater than the power the believers inalchemy used to long for and that some of themused to strive for all their days. The daily ex¬periences it can turn into gold.

The people who are always having good thingshappen to them, really good things, the people thatgo radiantly sailing through life, as a rule, have a

great deal of confidence, not only in themselves,but in the multitude of subtle forces that influenceus in our living, that are almost a part of us. Whenthey wake up in the morning they are likely tohave a pleasant seitsc of renewal. They approachthe day with cheerful expectations. They start outin a state of mind that tends to make the day suc¬cessful. So many of us, on the other hand, beginin a way that is simply ruinous, that shows we arefar removed from any state of mind associatedwith the luck zone. If luck came near we shouldbe likely to scare it off. The radiant people, how¬ever, are instantly at home with luck. They caneven achieve the feat of turning bad luck into goodluck.

Sometimes, of course, bad luck seems to dropout of the skies. On some people it falls like therain. "When sorrows come," sayl Shakespeare,"they come not single spies, but in battalions."Often, it should be noted, however, that there is;i relation between sorrows and between troublesof all kinds. If it ilocs not lie in the trials them¬selves, it may lie in the attitude of mind withwhich the trials arc met, so often multiplying theirnumber. To know how to meet a trial is tominimize it and to weaken its capacity for propa¬gating. There are those who after one disappoint¬ment act as if they deliberately entered the zoneof failure and set up there a permanent residence.

Just now we arc witnessing failure on a colossalscale in Europe. One of the saddest of its many«ad features is thai by most people it is not recog¬nized as failure. But, of course, it represents thebreak-down of qualities that are among the most. aluable possessions in human nature. It presentsï spectacle where all the resources of civilizationare dedicated to savagery. Among the many les¬sons that it has for us is the lesson that, like in¬dividuals, nations get into states of mind inevit¬ably productive of good luck or bail luck. Europeis now in the zone of ill-luck, operating in a waylhat leads from infamy to infamy. The warringnations arc behaving exactly like those law-breakers who arc condemned because they commitcrime after crime, who are often judged in ourcourts and sentenced according to the number of[heir crimes. The habitual criminal is simply onewho li\es in the crime zone. He Fonction» incriminality. Like thr warring nations he, too, hashis justifications. The world has learned to de¬spise him when he is organized into a great army."As long as war is wicked,'" Oscar Wilde oncesaid, "it will always have its fascination. When itis looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be pop¬ular."

In riurope just now* there are millions of whatmight be called unlucky people. But luck has lit¬tle or nothing to do with their wretched state.They arc simply the prey of forces let loose by-man, forces that man long ago learned to.control.They are evidences that, like good luck, bad luckcan result from character, and they remind us thatluck in general is almost wholly an expression ofcauses that find their starting place in human na¬ture.

The Factory Peril.For a noncombatant to get within the firingline ot the bloody European war is considered an

impossibility. There is a reason.it is a dangerousplace.one's life would be in jeopardy. Here inNew York are more than 1,000,000 persons, work¬ing every day, in places almost as dangerous asthe firing line of Europe. They go and come withno thought of danger, merely because they havethus far escaped death and injury. Yet a tragedymight be enacted at any moment. Some time agothe cloak, suit and skirt industries of New Yorkengaged Dr. George M. Price to inspect the firehazards of the many buildings devoted to thesemanufacturing interests. Dr. Price has made hisreport, in which he says that, nit of 928 buildings,thirty were found to be perfectly safe.

flght went forward; explained his posl-tion overmuch; sought to conciliate oplnIon on Çot h sides; and lost support wherehe had seemed most likely to receive it.The abolitionists had brought a "Lib-

erty" party into existence, and now put a

candidate of their own into the field.They drew .their strength more from

the Whigs than from tne Democrats, andtheir ranks were swelled more and more,as Mr. Clay made doubting Whigs moreand more un en .«y. Their sixty thousandvotes decided the election.Mr. folk spoke but one purpose, showed
