ONE OF OUR INTELLECTUAL
NEEDS

One of the real Intellectual needs
Of this nation is that of a satirist such
as can be found in nearly all civilized
countries save ours Despite our oft
repeated boast that we are a race of
humOrists we have not yet arrived at
the dignity of satire.
The result is that the aspiring
young satirist has a much more diff
when, as editor Of the Atlantic Month
~. ne was privileged to buy his own
contributions. The modern editor
does not want satire because he is
looking for something that will please
erybOdy and satire is written for
the purpose Of displeasing. In the
opinion of the editor nothing should
be printed that will disturb the wide
smoothly flowing current of inanity
called public opinion" on whose sur
face his bark is floating safe from all
attacks of real thought. The satir-
list, struggling upstream. is a menace
to accepted ideals and must be lodged
at all costs. Sometimes he leaves bill
lows in his wake that rock the bark
of complement periodical literature
and, as IN the case of Mr.. Bernard
Shaw. cause the passengers TO inquire
if he is really sincere.
From the time when Mr. Shaw
spoke in Hyde park he has gone
steadily against public opinion. and
in so doing has acquired an enormous
vogue as a satirist. We need a few
Shaws in this country-New York

This is the week of South Bend s
big aerial circus. Thursday and Fri
day will be the days. Constructively
speaking the stage is all set The
performers are in the wings waiting
for their cues. The weather bureau

way so that the sky may be clear and
the sun bright on the two big days.
Without eXaggeratiOn it may be said
that South Bend never made so much

ment that will entertain and at the

on the program. nothing that will

and yet the events will all be OF the
most popular character.
The performers will partake of the
nature of the highest class of outdoor
sports, all open and in the air. as the
name of the entertainment suggests,
There will be no charge at the door.

THE PARTY OF PROGRESS.

Mr.. Beverage will not be accused
Of exaggeration in his statement that
the vicious old standpat machine is
running the republican party in Il
nois and that the whole cry OF --.e
men behind II. Cannon. Mckinley,
Mann. ct al. is that the progressives
are going back Our one time SEN
ator is well within the facts.
The old standpat machine has been
oiled and set in motion and the at
tempt is being made TO run it over by
the route by which IL is hoped the
progressives will return. Mr.. Bever-
idge cannot too severely condemn the
false pretense Of the old guard. which
seeks TO regain power by old and OBJ
sOlete methods. nor too strongly de-
nOunce the individuals who compose
IL as men who haven't a drop of pat
riOtic blood in their veins but follow
politics as a purely business matter.
But Mr.. Beveridge makes himself
ridiculous when he attempts TO CLASH
~ the two old parties under the same
head as purely political machines. The
democratic party is an old organiZa-
ton. It's roots run into the very
foundation Of the government. and in
the past half century il has had com
paratively little opportunity to direct
public affairs. but small as that OPP
portunity has been the democratic
party has proved it's right to eXemp-
ton from Mr.. Beveridge's classified
ton.
The democratic party under Wilson
has proved itself TO be the real pro-
gressive party Of the day The So
called progressive party has told what
1t would do If placed in power. That
is a long way from performance. The
democratic party has not only made
promises hut kept them and has set
the country SO far ahead of the pro-
gressive party's program that it will
never be able 10 catch up.
In view OF what the Wilson admin
istration has accomplished il must be
admitted that the democratic party
has demonstrated that it is the real
party of progress. not only by prom
Use but 10y performance, and that the
foundation of progressive legislation
il has laid insures "A continuance OF
these policies as long as IL remains

TO our limited vision the war is
over; at least the apparent object of
II has failed. What is good of
fighting after that and wantonly
wasting human life? If it were one
of those brutal exhibitions which get
by under the mask Of boxing matches
the referee would have stopped it
when Germany was so obviously
whipped. Unfortunately wars have
no humane agents such as referees
mits the victor to jump on the van
pushed and kick him in the face.
IN our discussion of war taxes we
are apt to overlook the salient point
the government needs the money. If
the grand old ship of state could sail

word about stamp tax, income tax,
freight tax or any other tax, nor
would the subject be mentioned If we
had no government. Taxes are the

Desperate Measures for Armed
Resistance Called a Joke.
tBy Gable to The Tribunel

London, Jan. $50 much talk has
come out of Ireland about the Ulster
movement and the determination to
adopt desperate measures for armed
resistance against Home Rule" that
the experiences of a former sergeant Of
the Royal Artillery, who offered his
services as drill instructor to the u
ster volunteer force is interesting.
The officer returned to London dis
gusted and full of ridicule. He says he
found absolutely no excitement in Bel
fast and went TO Bangor, where, he
says: Il saw about sixty men on pa
rade. with wooden guns of no use to
anybody Some of these extraordinary
weapons had wooden stocks. iron bar
rels and tin trigger guards while others
were all wood, stock, barrel, trigger
guard and everything.
The men were about as well drilled
as the average schoolboy and knew
nothing Of extended or company for
nations. I saw fifty members of a
ladies' ambulance corps give a much
smarter drill than the men,"
