WHY A NEW COURT

fact and the needed legislation for making the
necessary Improvement.

striven to obtain appropriation for this purpose
But their joint efforts thus far have not been rewarded

II. Delcasse. the French minister
of foreign affairs. has taken oe-
casion to come to the defense Of
his country. Speaking al the Folk
Exposition, he discharged a broad
side of reprovaI into the ranks Of
those pessimists, foreign and do
nestle, who have a fondness for
using the republic as a horrible
example IN illustrating the degen-
eracy of certain nations,
After stating that there are PEG
pie who are habitually pointing to
France as a decayed country and
the people as an inferior race, he
pointed out that the same opinions
were advanced three decades ago.
Since then SAID II. Delcassa,
France has built up q splendid
army from the wreck Of q defeated
one, a magnificent navy and a
worldwide commerce. She has
come TO the front IN world politics.
She holds a preponderating posi-
ton IN many questions, especially
IN Africa and the Far East. The
destiny Of the nation, he said In
conclusion. was far from being ae-
complished.

THE GOLDEN ACE

Where Is that age which the poet calls golden,
Was it before Us, or Is It TO Gomez
If We could know, would 1t nerve and embolden
Days that dingy and lives that srum9
Man IS so troubled with striving and getting,
Progress so full of denial and doubt
That gIinlpses Of spendcr but fill with fretting,
Even the truth of things often scout
Libraries cra1nmed with the lore Of the sagesi
Galleries ehoked with the prowess of art
Factories filed with machines making wages,
Prsning ideas that master the mart!
Cities new builded, and valleys made virilei
Nations strong eirded with laws and with arms.
Still there broodngs DER times that sterile
Still there are voices that send forth alarms.
Where IS the age which the poets call golden,
Mystical age with It's pleasure and easel
Eyes of the spirit alone have beholden
All that It's dream Of perfection DEGREES?
Not IN the gloom the CLEAN Of t. distance,
Never for lives that passing through time,
Is there an age where with glowing Iusistenee,
Goodness and joyance remain IN their pr7me9
Never the fond heart shall from It's signing,
Never the brave mind shall cease to explore,
Never shall truth have no cause for denying;
Never shall faith promise III store,
But ever the ages shall sweep, as river,
Down TO the ultimate shores Of release.
And ever the search for the way shall deliver
The souls of the seekers to infinite peace

IN DEFENSE OF FRANCE

Because of the declining birth
rate, many criticisms have been
laid at the door of the greatest re
public IN Europe, The world has
been taught by pessimists to be
lieve that this atone Is a sign Of
ramifying Generalization But,
while 1t Is TO be regretted and viii
doubtless be corrected in time, we
are inclined to siGe with N. Del
casse IN the belief that France has
exhibited enough yigor IN other d.
rections to more than offset the
weak point.
If France were really in decay,
she would not be the factor she Is
in the politics Of the Old World
and the ally of the Gar. Her
colopial and commercial progress
alone are fully indicative that the
French millions have a deal Of
stamina, An immense population
Is not an infalible proof of ma
rional greatness and we are inclined
10 believe that when Frenchmen are
needed for any part IN national and
international work, they viii be
available.
