Il Won't Play in Your Yard. y

Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey, erstwhl!e
mentor of the great state OF Texas, but
now among the political discards, has
again given an exhibition of the childish
petulance that perpetually marked his
course in the senate Of the United
States.
In the Riggs bank case, when reproved
BY Justice Mccoy for very incorporate
and improper remark, he tossed his
papers on the table and withdrew from
the case-but reconsidered.
Senator Bailey once resigned by wire,
as United States senator, because the
people of Texas didn't kotow properly,
but when they still were recalcitrant,
withdrew" the resignation with another
wire which beat the original one to
Texas.
Most any attorney would have his
hands full representing the Riggs
National bank in this trial.
There's going to be some amazing
pyrotechnics before il is over.
Trust Joe Bailey to furnish his share.

LEGEND
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. by Frank Crane)

Legend is truer than history. history
is what happened, legend is what ought
to have happened.
History is an attempt to record facts.
But who can be trusted TO understand
a fact we'll enough 10 tell il? Sir Walter
Raleigh set about once To write a history
of the world; one day he saw an occur
renee under his own windows, and after
ward when he heard half dozen dis
cordant witnesses tell of il. he was
amused at his own temerity in presuming
TO record events years after all the wit
nesses were dead.
Who knows the secret springs OF his
tory, the story behind the story? We
have Genesis, but the genesis OF Genesis
has disappeared forever. We have
Matthew, but where is the sub-Matthew?
The forces behind history are as
strange rs those behind the inscrutable
face of nature.
But in legend history becomes simple,
understandable. Ii is true picture of a
races inner life, of its dreams, ambitions,
fears.
There is no history of Greece so true
as its mythology. The people probably
lived along, fought loved and died, and
struggled in the sordidness of circum-
stance, very much MS we; but the best
part of themselves were the golden
fancies with which they populated the
heavens, the seas, the woods, and the
dark
Legend is tougher and longer lived
han fact. Hercules , and Perseus,
rheSeus and Orpheus are still vigorous
oersonages in the worlds mind, while the
leading citizens that discussed the plays
If Eschylus are vanished into thin air.
We have a feeling even among present
events that the newspapers are somehow
ieceiving us What mass of news they
hold back, How colored is what they
print There is no such thing as giving
al the news. The public would not
stand it.
Besides, 10 tell the truth is difficult; 1t
is an art few have mastered. Open
heartedness." said Kant. 'the saying Of
the whole truth We know of. is not to be-
met with in human nature"
II is in its purely imaginative work a
people most truly expresses itself. So
Wagner went TO myth, and not TO
recorded history for his motifs. There
Is more lEulU ABOUT lHC I4HkllSH Heoplc
in Percy's ReliqueS than in Macaulay's

There is an allegory Of Pushkin that
is in point, expressing the truth that,
whoever would know a people, must
study the peoples folk lore.
