old Bees Nature.

A chair broke down in the midst OF
q Bernard Shaw comedy the other
evening. Everybody laughed. They
had been laughing before from time
to time. That was because IL was q
Shaw comedy. But when the chair
broke they roared. We don't blame
them for roaring. but II makes us sad.
The purveyor OF intellectual, high
brow wit and humor pours his soul
into the business OF capturing few
refined, apreciativpe grins in The
course of q lifetime, grins that come
from the brain; he is more than hap
py IL once or twice in a generation
he can get q cerebral chuckle,
laugh with q thought In ft-snd then
nature or accident steps In and
breaks a chair, or filings a fat man
down on the ice or sends q wind to
whirl away q bald mans hat or sub
orns a mule TO kick a frock coat
containing a dignified elderly man,
and. the world laughs with all its
heart and soul in the cacchination
and the highbrow sees where he gets
off at.
Our own study In life has been to
subdue and restrain our native ten
dency toward slapstick methods. We
would dearly love to write OF lin
burger cheese, people that stutter.
trousers that rip inopportunely. per
sons who are hit by bricks, wives
who strIke their husbands with skill
lets. the yagaries of drunkards, and
so forth. We have refrained setting
up a prtense OF superiority to all
that sort OF thing. Affecting not to

style.

We doubt it. There Is Mr.. Shaw and

There IL the case OF Hermoine VS..
Archy. for instance. Hermione costs

none to get out Of her is a mild,

We are ashamed OF him. Any eight

College professors have rushed to
the defense OF the old line ideas in
education, but the rush of parents to
send their children to the experiment
tai school at Teachers College, at
which the dead wood is to be elImi.
mated. shows what the fathers and
mothers think of such an effort.

many may be aroused by our sturdy
action to a realization of the mad
ness and guilt of its new menace.
But, should the event prove other
wise, we are very certain that it will
find no spirit of compromise or con-
cession aninating the American peo-
pie where the issues are the honor Of
the flag and the lives Of our citizens.

The Dupont statae.

II the petition OF the Duponts to
remove the statue Of Admiral Du-
pont from Dupont Circle in this town
be granted so that q suitable mem
orIal may be erected in its place IT
will be one of the few instances
where the true artistic sense has as
serted itself. One other case in th.
United States may be noted. Before
the Confederate war the women OF
South Carolina, under the direction
and inspiration OF Mrs. Mary Amar-
intha Snowden, determined to build
\ monument TO John C. Calhoun and
raised a large sum OF money for the
purpose. The war came on and the
plans Of the women were delayed, but
never abandoned. The monument
money was invested in good securi-
ties which survived the struggle.
These securities were in the keeping
of Mrs. Snowden and she kept them
safely until the war was over.
She was in Columbia when that
city was burned, and with the securi-
ties stitched securely in her petticoat
passed through the IRE unscathed.
and after peace had come and the hor-
rors OF reconstruction had passed, the
women took up their work again and
carried 1t to completion.

Senator Owen ought to amend his
BILL making Il q criminal offense pun
ishsble by dismissal from Office. for
any United States Judge to pass upon
the constitutionality OF any of the
laws enacted by Congress, so as to
make 1t penal offenss for the Presi-
dent to veto any act of Congress.
There would be as much sense in the
one case as in the other. For the Sec
ond time. President Wilson has vetoed
the immigration act. That was his
duty under the Constitution; but why
should little thing like the Constitu-
ton stand in the way of Congress: or.
as Gov. Cole Blease said to the house
OF governors in Richmond. ito hell
with the Constitution! II is made
the duty of the United States courts
TO pass upon all cases OF law and
equity arising under the Constitution,
the laws Of the United States, and SO
on. Just az 1t Is the duty of the Press-
dent to approve or disapproye all
acts and resolutions requiring the
concurrent vote of both houses of
Congress IL in his judgment any of
such acts and resolutions are not In
the public interest; but why should
he set up his opinion against the ma
ture wisdom Of Congress? Senator
Owen should go the whole hog Or
none" as they say in the stockyards;
why should there be courts or Presl-
dent when there Is Confess?
The Washington times., 1917-02-02
Poultney BIEeIov's speech.

II Poultney Bigelow was q German.
or an Englishman, or q Frenchman,
and talked about his government as
he is reported to have talked about
his own Government to the Canadian
Club, in Toronto, he would be de-
prived of his liberty on his return
home, and In time of war be stood up
against the frst convenient fence and
shot. There should be in this blessed
land OF the free no room. for any man
who, In a time like this, abuses the hos
pitality of his hosts to misrepresent
and vilify his own country. Instead
OF sewing up his pockets. as he IL
reported to have declared his habit on
entering the offices OF the American
consuls, he ought to have sewed up
his mouth before talking about 1t to
an outside audience. Mr.. Bigelow IL
hardly worth while, IL Ii true, but II
he told the Canadian Club in Toronto
what he IL said to have said, he should
be required to prove the truth OF hisl
or be compelled to "eat
his words"
The Washington times., 1917-02-02
HERE WE STAND. WE CAN DO
NO OTHERWISE. GOD

warning to the German government,

and delivered in April, 1916, conclud-

over our barn. March %: the snow is
melting fast and the lakes are rising.
The water is roaring and huge blocks
of ice are drifting along. Today l saw
the first lilies %sprouting ont of the
ground in the meadow, where the snow
had been. March 23rd: inv mother
sowed radish and lettuce seed today.
That surely looks like spring. fhe
N day | saw the first meadow lark
while going to Catechism instruction.
Tn March 9th | saw ducks and geese
flying north. The next day | saw a
robin redbreast and heard him sing on
my way to school. | love 10 hear the
birds sing. The following day | picked
some little snow flowers and the flow
ers really seemed alive. The trees are
starting to bud. Ii makes me feel
happy, for spring is here ut last.
We had the first rain on April 3rd
and on that day we gathered clans out
Of the creek. On April 4th | saw IA
blackbird and some snipes. Faster
Sunday L watched the sun rise and it
looked like n big red ball. Ii was beau
tiful. My mother says it dances on
Easter morning. but | don't think il
does. Only. | think the SUM-. like our
selves. is glad that Christ has arisen.
In the afternoon | picked a bunch of
Easter lilies. They weren't in full
bloom yet, but mother put them in wa
ter and two days after they We're in
full bloom. That night he had our first
thunderstorm. Mother called me ont
Of bed to help her take in her wash.
The wind vas blowing iiercely. 1t was
pitch dark, except for the lightning.
Neither is afraid of Il thunderstorm, but
| am not. Some time z father caught
n carp In the creek. Last week he caught
Il big silvery one. The fishes come with
the high water in the spring. Mothers
radish and lettuce Is about an inch
high already. We planted 100 straw
berry plants. Brother and | are going
10 put in a garden of our own this
spring. The 26th Of April | noticed the
first swallow. He is building his nest
in our COW stable. When the little
chicks peep, it sounds just like birds
singing.
oh! listen to all the brides sing,
lt surely is n sign Of spring!

What l Saw in springtime.

Ethan, s. D.-Dear Uncle On the
twcnty-Second of March. while visiting
my uncle's home, / heard a.meadowlark
singing. i looked around and saw him
perched on a post nearby. also heard
the prairie chickens sing that morning.
Two days later | went 10 visit my o
ms school during the nOon hour. !
heard an awful noise, it seemed to he
above me. l looked up toward the sky
and saw Il big flock of wild geese.
While going home from school that
afternoon, my cousin and | saw a flock
Of b~lac1zbirds.
ON the 2Sth of March | had a few
spare hours. | thought | would take
a walk over the farm, also down along
the creek, until | reached the spring.
| saw a few fishes and Il small frog.
While walking hOmeward. l saw Il
woodpecker perched on a post.
spent Easter Sunday with my
cousin. We went out for a walk and
dug up ONE lily plants on our way
home. We also gathered a bouquet OF
Easter flowers. On Easter morning, my
brother and / were UP very early tc
watch the sun rise. My brother and
think 1t IS great pleasure to go to school
every morning. 1t just seems as though
we can see the grass growing and We
can always hear the meadowlarks sing
ing. l like springtime best of all.
| can see the water rise in the creek, heal
the birds sing, and see the meadows al
green and covered with all kinds %
flowers.-Albert Reinartz.
