Dante
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Crane)

Why some books live for centuries is
rs mysterious as why some people live
20 be 90
Bat We must accept the verdict of
time. No sensible man objects to the
masters; he tries 10 understand them,
and If he be persistent, teachable, and in
telligent. usually succeeds.
Dante is great man in the literary
world. He is the outstanding classic of
Italy, and ranks with Greek Homer, Ro-
man Virgil, English Shakespeare, and
German Goethe Consequently no mind
that makes pretenSions to good taste in
letters can afford TO be ignorant of him
At the same time of all the forefront
ers. he Is hardest 20 read 1t is harder
stdl 10 get interested in him.
This Is for two reasons. First, he is
wholly mediaeval. lie lived in world
we have forgotten. He was deeply con
cerned in things that to us are simply
curious or amusing The world has
moved miles and miles past his view
point
No one, for instance, cares anything
about the conflicting claims of papal and
temporal powers As a political factor
the papacy is not nowadays discussed.
TO Dante IL WAS a burning issue.
So the wars and jealousies Of Florence
and the other states Of Italy have gone
into the worlds waste basket, as also
the curious astronomical theories and
theological discussions in vogue at his
time.
The second reason is that his work is
filed with instances and illusions en-
tirey uninteIIigibe 10 the modern read
er without the aid of copious notes by
the antiquary. And even when we read
me notes they are Of no interest.
Yet his Divine Comedy. loaded down,
as it Is. with old junk, retains its hold
upon the mind ot cultured people every
where.
TINS is because Of the intrinsic great
ness OF the man personality. No mat
;er what one writes about, no matter
now outlaudish or bizarre or other-world-
lsh his subject matter, II he sees clearly,
thinks n0oIy, and expresses himself IN
sincerity, his message viii find the heart
Of the world
Another reason is the sheer beauty Of
his craftsmanship. Il is doubtful if any
human being has ever wrought so per-
tectiy and $50 eXquieitely with words. We
get bat a shadow of this in translation,
bat the original Italian is a masterpiece
which. being a thing Of beauty must be
JOY forever
Even those 70 whom Italian is
strange tongue must admire the sorority
and music of the lines if he hears them
recItcd Such cadences haunt the world.

Detroit.
The rise i'm price is said % he due IT,
the fact that the raw material, which
goes 90 produce milk, is extremely scarce
and that much of the milk produced
being sold TO cheese factories and Co.
make milk powders which in ,urn. are
sent to Europe to relieve the scarcity of
food.
The farmer now receives $1.70 per
hundred pounds for milk. % cents More
than he ever received before-loo
pounds being - gallons, or 4S quarts,
which nets him three and three-quar-er
cents a quart.
Add TO this freight, cost Of plant, lee.

Of a big milk firm that the milk dealers

fishes butter prices. is quoted at 10 cents
per pound, and the price Of cream is
fixed thereby.
So much for the situation. Ii looks
quite hopeless.
But there is one expense which might
be reduced and which when reduced
might be paid by all the people for the
benefit Of our baby population about

Ten or more milk dealers often deliver

the creaking Of the wagon wheels ana
pull up the covers and realize that VI all
the occupations that of the milk man. on
a cold winter morning, while the stars
are still in the sky, is the most unattract-

Here is a great duplication Of work.
and therefore, expense. which must ulti-
mately be paid by the consumer.
We have no desire 90 take from the
scanty profits Of the milk dealers but are
rather striving TO help reduce the price
Of milk for the poor family where many
small stomachs are crying 10 be filed
with natures baby food
And it would seem as if there might
be a way Of doing il. Let the city act as
distributor Of this great necessity. Let il
establish milk depots in the poorer parts
Of the city where the people can come
at a certain hour and get their milk for,
perhaps. three or four cents less per
quart Whereas l75 wagons are now
used by single firm many less could
supply those sections Of the city where
ten cents a quart was a matter for ari-
Gus consideration or was entirely proni1-
itive.
This is socialism in a thoro.y practical
form and the kind Of socialism which.
one would suppose. would meet with no
opposition from anybody.

There's Another Side To
This Mexican Situation,
Says Society of Friends

AJa - A@CNANNsf -
The Philadelphia yearly meeting Of
Friends, which keeps the lamp Of that
sane religion Of peace and harmony
aught, has sent thruout the country, TO
every newspaper and higher educational
Institution, letters urging the coopera-
ton of the press and colleges for what it
terms a constructive program Of perma-
nent peace in Mexico
In the first place il is evident that II
does not think that the press at large
has put the Mexican situation clearly and
honestly before the public.
1t believes that the press has been
prejudiced or coerced Tin some way) to
give only one side of the question and
that side the American. 1t believes that
either we do not understand the under
Eing reason of the Mexican revolution
or that we completely disregard it, in
order TO tell, with much sensationalism
and exaggeration, the wrongs suffered by
the American residents of that country.
AS matter of fact there have been
rs many Mexicans killed by American
brigands along the border as Americans
killed by Mexicans, but no mention is
made of this little depreciation on this
side the Rio Grande.
American men who have gone - Mex
leo with dispassionate minds have come
back with a different tale than that car
ried by the press in the United States.
The Society Of Friends whose mem
bers, thru the centuries, have died for
peace, objects TO this unfairness and is
seeking constructive policy which will
cement friendship between Americans
and Mexicans, rather than foster hos
tile attitude.
With its usual calm and reasonable
Judgment, it believes that one Of the
ways would be to invite large numbers
of young Mexicans TO become students in
our colleges and universities, so that
they might learn to know our people. our
customs, our point Of view, and so that
We might learn TO knew theirs II has
secured scholarships in several colleges
and is seeking the help Of all others TO
ward this end.
The society points with pride to the
educational work done for the Chinese
students thru the income Of the Boxer
indemnity fund returned by the United
States to the Chinese government.
II has investigated and found tha
students of the Escuea Nacional Prepar
atorie. of Mexico. are equipped to ente
our universities and il is in communica
ton with Andres Osuna, director of edu
cation in Mexico.
DR.. Leo S. Rowe, Of the University o.
Pennsylvania. secretary of the Ameri
can and Mexican joint commission, nov
in session, can and will give to anyone
direct information on Mexican condi
tions.
We must not forget that Mexico vii
eventually end its revolution and be a
peace.
We must not forget that she is a La
tin-Americsn country and as such j!
closely united with South America by
natural bonds which NO artificial, super
Imposed policy will break down.
Remembering all this. and also that
the commerce of the United States is
looking to the South American countries
for more markets. would it not be com.
mcrcially suicidal for us to further an.
0gonize the Mexican people and raise an
oreoRable barrier between US?

REFUSE
ADJOURNMENT OFFER
WILL NOT RUSH PROGRAM OF
CONGRESS THROUGH TO
QUIT BY SEPTEMBER,
Democrats Decide to Rock Along
Without Help Of Other
Party Leaders.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-Their Of
fer of a compromise legislative pro-
gram which might lead to an early ad
lournment of congress, rejected by the
Republcans, Democratic senate lead
ers decided tonight to drive along
without Republican cooperation in an
effort to dispose of pending legisla-
tion by September |.
Republican leaders who had given
the Democrats hope that their ad-
Journment proposal might be accepted
were unable to control the party con-
ference which took up the matter to-
day for ratification.
Progressive Republicans, led by
Senators Borah, Norris and La Fol-
lette, refused to be bound by any pro-
gram which would prevent action on
the corrupt practices, widows pension,
civil war veterans retirement and i'm
migration bills.
The result was that resolution was
adopted rejecting the Democratic
adjournment.
1t was the first time in several
years that Senator La Toilette had
attended party conference.
Democratic senators said tonight
that no change in the legislative pro-
gram drafted recently by the party
caucus now was contemplated. They
were hopeful that the shipping and
revenue bills and conference reports
could be disp posed of and adjourn
ment reached early in September at
the latest.
