The Storage of Life

The National Conservation Congress met IN
Washington Tuesday last. This conference re-
ceived less press notice than the slightest de-
tails of one of Harry Thaw's mad escapades, yet
was convened for the sole purpose OF seriously
considering the greatest single problem now con-
fronting the Federal administration.
The life of this generation and of all future
generations if stored up in the continents nat
ural resources.
If a hundred persons cast by shipwreck
on remote island the question of food would at
once become paramount The company's supply
would be strictly limited, yet the company itself
would increase by geometric ratio. II such per-
wise they would surely use every pre-
caution to garner the least portions of that
which is as precious as life itself. And they
would need the combined wisdom of the whole
group to solve the worlds greatest paradox
how to make limited resources supply the needs
of an ever increasing number Of consumers
The people Of the United States (and the
whole world besides) are in just this boat.
Babies keep coming. And far can see
they always will and in geometric ratio. But
the resources Of necessaries with which to feed
this ever increasing human stream are as strict
~ limited the resources in any bank.
The problem confronting the Nations forces
for conservation is how to make these limited
resources hold out against unlimited demand.
This means that the effort to preserve ma
lures provisions Is at bottom the effort to
protect and conserve civilization itself. A peo-
pie in hunger will always be people in barbar-
ism. And people without the material means
for preserving the institutions and implements
of civilization will lapse into the hard condition
from which we have lifted ourselves at an in
conceivable cost.
The most urgent and immediate question be-
fore the forces for conservation is monopoly.
Coal, soil, minerals, water power, forests, and
fertility agents are almost entirely in the con-
troll of a relatively small group of monopolists
who exploit their holdings with no thought Of
economy but with every thought of immediate
personal gain. Human greed which has an op-
portunity to vent itself through these persons
WILL if left unchecked sacrifice the lives and well
fare of all future generations for it's own imme-
date ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Alleys

Councilman Won Pein, who recently returned
from Germany, says he was impressed by the alb
sence Of alleys in the fatherlands cities He
ventured to couple Richmonds plethora of flies
with the presence of our garbage lined, ash plas-
tered dump cluttered backyard tf1oroughfares
We believe he is justified in laying the blame for
much of our stone age insanitation to the pres
ence of these public nuisances that run past the
back fence; undoubtedly the alley is the source
of disease and crime.
Alleys were invented when families kept pigs
and cows on the back end of the lot. They were
devised as useful approach to these pens and
stables whereby feed might be carted in and
manure hauled out. And since pedestrians used
the front street rather than the back and since
the germ origin of disease was not heard of,
nobody considered that alley should be clean.
1t furnished handy dumping ground for rub
bish and offal. 1t was easier to hide dirt in the
alley than to destroy it,
We must sorrowfully confess that many of
our own families make this same medieval use
of these narrow streets. They seem to think that
an alley has no rights, that anything will go with
it just because it is an alley.
Therefore our alleys are breeding places for
rats and mice and these creatures are the vehi-
Giles OF many contagious; they the dumping
ground for garbage and flies breed in garbage
they are lined with unscreened manure boxes,
another fly BREEDER and they serve as admirable
hiding places for thieves and crooks.
Every alley should be as we'll lighted as a
street. It should be kept as unlittered as any
boulevard. A disease breeder should be as little
tolerated there anywhere else. The city's
back yard should be as we'll kept and as clean as
its parks and avenues.

The Drama League

The theatre can't be eliminated. History
teaches more indubitable lesson. Every eff
fort yet made to stamp it out of existence has
been fooled. Out of the ashes of it's ruins the
drama always rises, phoenix-like, to life.
Greece built the first play houses and pro-
duced the first great dramatists. When Rome
over ran Greece her theatre went to pieces But
later on, Rome herself built the circus, her own
form of the stage. When that had grown cor
rupt, the Christian church destroyed it and de-
clared forever against plays But gradually out
of the rftualism Of the church itself arose the
medieval drama which ultimated in Shakespeare
Then came the Puritans with their hatred of
amusements and attempted to smash that but
to no avail.
Today the descendants of the Puritans are
still making an effort to abolish the theater but
will never succeed. They have not learned his
tory's lesson. A stage answers to something ele-
mental in man, need that seems to have been
woven into the warp and wool of his existence
In this year of grace, 1913, it holds its place
among the mightiest engines of public influence
But like all elemental influences it must be
kept under constant surveillance and restriction
Just because the theatre is so influential it's de-
structive influences are the more to be feared
when once it has taken the bit into its own
mouth.
William Winter who gives way to nobody
when it comes to first-hand knowledge of the
contemporary drama argues we have given it
too much rein. Indecent and salacious plays
tread on each others heels so swiftly do they
issue from the playwrights hands And in
decent and salacous plays are bad, not because
they conflict with the conventional moral code,
but because they strike at the roots of life and
civilization.
But because there bad plays one is no
more justified in destroying the theatre than
Savonarola justified in destroying Flor
ences art because he found bad pictures The
play must be censored.
But not by a governmental functionary.
Heaven save the mark. That would indeed be a
calamity. The censoring must be done by the
people who attend the theater.
And the Drama League of America has
worked out the most practicable scheme for that

THE WISDOM OF FOLLY

The cynics say that every rose
Is guarded by thorn that grows
To spoil our posies
But l no pleasure therefore lack
! hold my hands behind my back
When smelling roses.
It's proved that Sodom's apple tarts
Have ashes as component parts
For those who steal EN-;
My soul no disllusion seeks;
l love my apples rosy cheeks.
But never peel EN-.
Though outwardy a gloomy shroud,
The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining.
And so 1 turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out,
To show their lining
Our idols feet are made of clay
So stony hearted critics say.
With scornful mockings.
My images are deified.
Because I keep them we'll supplied
With shoes and stockings
My modus operandi this
To take no heed for what's amiss;
And not bad one
Because. as Shakespeare used to say,
"A merry heart goes twice the way
That tries sad one"

From the New York World
The common belief that the Presi-

of 142, 227.
But only The Socialists profited by
this larger vote. They alone mad e
gains and very significant gains. The
Dcbs vote in 1908 vas APO, 1893; in 1912
II was goo, 672, ali increase of mOre

As for The Democrats. WILSON polled
total of 6,293,454 as against Bryau's
total of 6,409, I04, a decrease of 49,
