PRAISE FoR HITLER

When a lobster has a humOr-prOof shell it shudders
at irony and all forms OF light utterance. 1t knows
no flowers Of rhetoric. and dredges mt the bottom OF
the well. Especially does it despise things ironlcaL.
Therefore. when our Avowed Champion OF Plain
Statement says, Praise from Colonel Butler is praise
indeed" what In the name of Billy Zachritz and Fred
q. Smith does it mean?
Does the fact that al Butlerdom boosts the lob
ster's candidates emphasize the force Of the Holsters
encomium upon Butler? II not. what?
parallel columns diagrams" and labels" count
for nothing, and throw no light on this matter. The
Globe has said that the praise OF Butler is much TO
the credit Of candidates. There it stands on its own
platform Of literal Interpretation.
As the Globe neither understands nor practices
irony It must have intended its eulogy of Butler 10 be
taken straight. The Republic does not call for parallel
columns. The Globe has explained that Buffers love
Of Zachritz is a good thing. Let it stand so.

But is Robinson crusoer a work OF genius To ar

was 80 narrow that it resembles the genius OF a boy who
can bend back his thum until II touches his wrist. In
no other OF his writings did Deioe show genius: and In

be collected from the "Essay OF Projects" the STORY of

cese OF Robinson crusoe" was due 20 a unique affinity
between his mind and this chance subject which refers
rather TO literary chemistry than to n;ertary dynamlcs.

which favored New York and other commercial CEN
