provoking satire on the formidable
''red tape" of official routine, and has
had it's lesson also on behalf OF more
reasonable methods in public affairs,
let us hope. It's successor is charm
ing antidote to much of the attempt
to distill wit from unsavory material.
"All the world loves a lover" but
hates a pessimist, it is said. The two
terms are often confused. but are as
distinct In their meaning as are the
terms Socialist and anarchist. The
pessimist sees only the dismal side or
events and dwells upon them inces-
sanity. The true critic, acting under a
high ideal, seeks to awaken the public
conscience to it's duty in the removal of
preventable evils. AS Balzac pertinent
" says: He destroys the past for the
sake of the future" and not as a
mere iconoclast. from the love OF de-
stroying. His mission Is a most need
ed one, since it is true that evil Is
done by want of thought as we'll as
want of heart"
Exeunt the pessimist; long live the
helpful critic!
