Happenings Of Today.

To the outsider it would seem that
the happenings of today are enough
to account for a sufticiency of hate
on either side. The Italians are
treating Dalmatia precisely as if
it were an enemy country. They are
driving Croatian school teachers out
of town. They are forbidding the use
Of the Croatian language in schools.
For centuries the Slavs have had the
right to hear mass said in the Slav
tongue. A long bygone Pope granted
this permission on the representation
of the Slav leaders that their people
did not know Latin and on the fur
ther represe ntations of the Slavs that
they would either hear mass in Slav-
ish or not hear mass at all. The ac-
ton of the Italians is bitterly re-
sented.
Mind you, it is easy enough to
understand the springs of the italian
action, even if one feels that the ef-
feet is deliberately provocative. One
feels that such actions are pettish
and unwise. If Italy. is given the
Dalmatian coast by the peace con-
ference she has already made certain
that she must hold this coast by
force of arms, in precisely the man
ner that Austria held it.
If Dalmatia becomes a part of Jugo-
slavia, as every one anticipates, then
she has made certain that her neigh
Dor shall add to her centuries heri-
tage of hate new and venomous an
ger. Even so. one can understand
that it is sweet to Italy to have her
old enemies even for a little time
under her thumb.
The Croats and the Italians have
fought a border fight for generations.
Austria saw to it that the Slav and
Latin never met on friendly terms
The Italians have always affected a
CONTEMPT for the slav. They have
called their neighbors barbarians.

ADR|AT|C HATRED
SURVIVAL OF PAST
Austria Has Encouraged Its
Development Between
Italian and Croat.
SLAVS LOVE THEIR LAND
BY HERBERT COREY.

! FIUME, February 21 (by MaiD -
Hatreds have roots centuries deep in
| this country. Croat and Italian are on
| the worst possible terms because of
reasons that date from yesterday and
! today. But back of these are old an
| tagonisms They have been brought
| up in anger.
"The Dalmatian coast belongs to
| Italy," the Italians say. History
proves it. Did not Venice hold the
coast once? These magnificent ruins
not Roman"
| That is all that is needed to send
any Croat into a SpaSm of rage. He
does not worry SO much about Rome.
But the black resentment which the
Venetian occupancy aroused still per-
SiStS. He points to the bare hills of
Dalmatia. Not twig of green may
be seen except where some toiling
Slav peasant has made little basin
| in the rock in which earth has been
collected.
Each Step a Vineyard.
There are miles of hills which
viewed from below seem giant stair
cases of gray rock. When one reaches
| the top and looks down one finds that
each step of the staircase is a tiny
vineyard. 1 doubt if there is any land
in the world where SO much labor has
been expended in the creation of gar
dens. Even at a peasants rate of
wage they represent the investment
of millions of dollars. No wonder these
Slavs love their land.
The Venetians stripped these hills"
the Croat tells you. The piles on
which Venice is built came from Dali
malta. Once the forest screen was
gone the hills were washed bare of
earth. Dalmatia was ruined. Do you
think we will willingly subject our
selves again to Italian rule?'
That may seem bit far-fetched. 1t
is difficult for me to put much volt
age into the hatred of King George
V because King George III-or was
he George IV-had a kaiserish way
about him. But over here people in
herit such hatreds as they do sheep
skin coats and moldy castles They
are actually proud of them. 1 found
in an Italian official publication the
other day the story of some Slav out
rage upon Italian peasantry. 1 have
forgotten the name of the town and
even the century in which this afro
city took place. But it is a perfectly
good reason in European eyes for
hating the descendants of the original
ruffians. Age does not wither nor
custom stale this Adriatic vindictive-
ness.

Smith, the clever box office mesmerist, who has to his credit more than 50 vaude- vile sketches, and one of Broadway big stage successes, "The Unknown Purple"
 Al Garfield and Herm Rose are pair of Hebrew comedians, who almost take Shakespeare in vain by calling their skit AS You Like It. They have a routine of comedy with songs intermingled that manages to keep the audience in a good state of mlnd and wanting for more. MT. Paul Southe and Etsele Tobin are one or the "classiest' pairs in vaudeville. They are vocal entertainers of the highest order, and their songs, which run from the sublime to the popular and real ragtime, show clever selec- ton. Miss Tobin is a dainty, good looking charming miss. almost retlr- ing in her manner, who knows how to wear her gowns, which are the latest from Fifth avenue shops. Other ects are the Three Alex, sensational expo

 SUCCESS, COMING Conan and Harris Farce Hit at Jefferson Monday, Tues day and Wednesday,
 With Matinee

Take belief in your destiny, borrow an evening suit, astonish social gather ing, to which you had received no invita- tion. with your brlliancy and your for tune is made. This is the philosophy Of John Paul Bart, principal character tn the late Harry James Smiths phenome- nally successful comedy, "A Tailor-Made. Man" which Conan and Harris will offer at the Jefferson next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and Wednesday matinee, after it solid years run in New York city, where it was the real comedy hit of last season. John Paul Bart is tailor's helper, but he pos sesses that great American attribute, pluck, and he raises himself from ob- scurity to power in manner that IS both unique and startling.
 Richard Sterling's methods are so easy, and his engaging personality so unthe- atrical and convincing as to make you believe in his destiny the moment he steps upon the stage. and you follow his fortunes through the exciting comedy with the expectancy that marks the tell ing of an unusual adventure, related with an accuracy that lifts it to the plane of a story from real life.
 "A Tailor-Made Man" is a thoroughly charming comedy. with wealth of clean cut characterization. telling dramatic sit' nations and smart dialogue. It is evolved in an atmosphere of refinement, and TOT these values it is unhesitatinFly recom- mended as one of the cleverest and most absorbing comedies that the American stage has seen in a decade. Local play goers are sure to set their stamp Of ap' proval on this play and to indorse all that the New York dramatic patrons anc critics said of it during it's long run in the metropolis

 Those who come seeking the cheap sensationaIism that accompanies some productions of this character will be greatly disappointed, for there IS nothing about the play that savers of the offensive. In fact, it is one Of the most beautiful and moral dramas ever written and has the indorse- ment of ministers medical men, and nonsectarian clubs everywhere.

CONSTITUTIONS

A constitution for Russia is now being sought.
Can the mind Of man conceive Of an instrument that will
be prapmatic and workable? 1t is very doubtful As in other
countries a constitution must be a growth and not a creation.
And it may be a slow growth. 1t is slow business III the most
favored countries, and requires so much time and patience that
even writer constitutions are the products of history, The Brit
ish constitution is largely written, but not wholly, and under 1t
n government consisting of the king, lords and commons has
been formed. BY courtesy the king is called the sovereign, but
he is nothing of the kind. A sovereign takes orders IRON no
one, but the king Of England takes orders from the house OF
commons, which is the state where national sovereignty resides
The commons is one of the three branches OF government, but
it is more: it is also a perpetual constitutional convention, ana

OTHER THINGS

When war is on everyone is a warrior, and must give his
time and thought, his energy and surplus means to war. When
war is over there are other things that should engage public
attention. War is destructive, hardening and coarsening 1t
calls forth the tiger that turks and hides in the Jungle OF the
human heart. When war smooths his wrinkled front and peace
comes, the public mind should turn to those things that are
uplifting and spirituahzng, soitcning and humanizng. These
lie about us in profusion-music, art, literature, the drama,
the movies and all forms OF entertainment which are at once
instructive and educational,
Memphis is opulently blessed in this respect The great
Normal school is a pexus OF educational activities with which
our people should be more familiar. The students give enter
tainments from time to time that should be witnessed and
enjoyed, We learn more from those who are in process OF
development than we do from the fully developed, who are
detached and too far away from and above us. The Brooks
Memorial Art gallery is az educational institution for people of
all ages and conditions. Here we get the fundamentals Of art
without elaborate trouble, and almost unconsciously. Here can
be learned the proper method of looking at a picture, some
thing that few people know how to do. Like Mount Shasta
or Chimborazo, a painting or a sculptural figure can only be
seen once. 1t is highly important that 1t be seen 1~nteI1genty
and thoroughly, No matter how many trips one makes there
or how much time he mechanically spends, he can see Niagara
falls only one tmc-no more. And, seen right, once is enough
Great spiritual messages should be received fully and without
reserve. Second attempts minimize their force and significance
We have musical organizations that give many entertain
ments, free to the public. These should be patronized, Music
is not a concrete, palpable entity, but it can be felt by those
who would feel the impact of its influence, A cultivated taste
for music is a phyactery against low and evil thoughts or vulgar
actions. Al these refining agencies we neglect IN time OF war
and strife, when the animal in man is aroused and when the
desire to kill is uppcrmost in the hearts even of those who never
can go near the firing line, In time OF peace the orute snouio
be soohed into submission by gentle yet powerful influences,
such as have been mentioned, and this may be done by the
people Of Memphis, who can, without difficulty, put themselves
in contact with these beautiful influences. In this way the war
anpered animal in man will quiet down and become docle'
When the exorbtant demands OF war were made upon the peo-
pe of Memphis they responded nobly. They can now turn to
and cultivate those things that refine and elevate and develop
the elegancies of life.
