Many things account for this tend-
ency of some men to show-th.eir worst,
or at least their roughest, aspect to the
public. Hatred of sham is perhaps,
the most potent. They so despise the
Pharisee, thechap with the holier tharf
thou attitude; they so abominate the
charlatan, the prig and thejop. that
they go to the other extreme. They so
want to I>e genuine that they prefei* to
seem less good than they are rather
than more.

It Is stran-re that a
Uncle Joe does not look seventy, does
not feel seventy and does not act sev-
enty. As a man is only as old as he
looks, feels and acts. Cannon should
cal) the almanac by a shorter and ug-
lier name and send it to Join the presi-
dent's gallery of liars. This act would
so add to hist popularity among ;all
women past thirty .that it would cer-
taitilv land him in the White House

Mr. Cannon Is past seventy, but does
not believe In the Osier theory. No
man pAst seventy does. AH the con-
verts of that doctrine are under sixty
and are liable to a sudden change of
faith on passing that crucial birthday.

This is the, Cannon nuinnfaetured by
