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

Why some books live for centuries is
as mysterious as why some people live
90 be 90
But we must accept the verdict of
time No sensible man objects TO the
masters; he tries to understand them,
and II he be persistent, teachable, and in
teIlgent usually succeeds.
Dante rs 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; it is harder
still 20 get interested in him.
This is for two reasons. First he is
wholly mediaeval. lie lived in a world
we have forgotten. he was deeply con-
cened 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 political factor
the papacy is not nowadays discussed.
To Dante it was a burning issue.
So the wars and jealouses 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-
tirely uuinte,ligible to the modern read
er without the aid OF copious notes by
lne autiquary. And even when we read
he notes they are of no interest.
Yet h, Divine Comedy loaded down,
as it is, with old junk, retains its hold
upon the mind Of cultured people every
whore
This is because Of the intrinsic great
ness oI the man personality No mat
Ter what ore writes about, no matter
aoW outludisn or bizarre or other-world-
lSh h.s subject matter, f heSees clearly,
thinks u0a.E and expresses himself IN
sincerity as message VIII ind the heart
lot tnc world
Another reason .s the sheer beauty OF
his craftsmanship. Ii is doubtful If any
human being has ever wrought SO per-
.eatly and So exeu. .te,y with words We
get but "a shadow of this In translation,
out tbe original italian is a masterpiece
meh. being q thing Of beauty, must be
Joy forever.

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

The Philadelphia yearly meeting Of
Friends, which keeps the lamp Of that
sane religion Of peace and harmony
alght, has sent thruout the country, TO
svery newspaper and higher educational
Institution, letters urging the coopera-
ton of the press and colleges for what II
terms a constructive program Of perma-
nent peace in Mexico.
In the first place it is evident that it
does not think that the press al large
has put the Mexican siuation clearly and
honestly before the public.
1t believes that the press has been
prejudiced or coerced (in some way) TO
give only one side of the question and
that side the American. 1t believes that
sdther we do not understand the under
hing 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
n 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 81 +leT-
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 viii
cement friendship between Americans
and Mexicans, rather than foster a 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 know 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 that
students of the Escuela Naciona Prepar-
atorie, of Mexico. are equipped to enter
our universities and il is in communica-
ton with Andres Osuna director of edu-
cation in Mexico.
DR.. Leo S. Rowe, Of the University Of
Pennsylvania, secretary Of the Ameri.
can and Mexican joint commission. now
In session, can and win give 70 anyone
direct information on Mexican condi.
hons.
We must not forget that Mexico vii
eventually end its revolution and be al
peace.
We must not forget that she is a La
tn-American country and as such il
closely united with South America by
natural bonds which no artificial super
imposed policy viii break down.
Remembering all this, and also that
the commerce Of the United States /.
I looking 10 the South American countrie.
for more markets, would il not be com
mercially suicidal for us TO further an
tagonize the Mexican people and raise ar
lmprexnable barrier between us7

FLORIDA PRINTERS
SHOULD BE FAORED

II is claimed that the contract two
years ago for printing the tally sheets
used by various counties Of the state
in the primary was awarded to a Bal
timorc firm. II this was done two
years ago history should not repeat
itself this year. Thousands Of tons
Of paper will he used in printing the
tally sheets, and the sum paid for the
printing, amounting to thousands Of
dollars. should remain in Florida If
a Baltimore concern gets the job the
money will leave the state, never to
return.
There are plenty Of Florida printing
establishments capable of doing this
work as chcapy and as satisfactorily
as can he done by concerns OF other
states. Even il foreign concern
should offer to do the work a triie
cheaper. it would be more advanta.
geous to give the work to a Florida
