L. courtney, reviewing "Some
Modern Novelists: Appreciations and
Estimates" by H. T. Follett and Wilson
Follett, says:
Roughly speaking, all our modern
artists might be classed as pessimists; {;
that is to say they realize how little
me conforms to our moral principles
and requirements. But they wear their
rue with a difference. Thomas Hardy
is so great a pessimist that he some
times seems eager to falsify life in
order to prove his theory. The note
OF pesslmlsm is strong in George Gis-
sing, and it sounds also in the ear Of
Eden Phillpotts. But other writer's
produce different effect on our minds
ahe astonishing result of all Mr.. Ar
mold Benefits vivid realization that
NE Is tragedy is that, with all its
olsasters, we believe in life and find
IN experience both consolation and
a guide. However bad or stupid or
criminal the facts may be, our feeling
toward them is the main thing that
matters, and here we are on safe
ground. This it Is which explains whv y
'hing Lear breaches no gospel of de-
spalr' but, on the contrary, leaves us
with hearts uplifted We feel the fri.
unphant virtue of Cordelia and the in
estlmable value of all goodness, even
IN their apparent defeat Othello and
Macbeth and Hamlet may prove that
jealousy and ambition and absence Of
Will are fatal things and bad things
but they do not prove that life itself
is bad or fatal thing. Tragedies
as mr.. follett remarks, have been
written not by pessimists, but by op-
timists. You must believe in goodness
and Its Ultimate triumph, or else YOU
MISS the whole appeal that tragedy
makes to our pity and fear"

Shakespeare, the writer Of plays,
Ia has himself become the subject
of many recent sketches for the
theater. Bernard Shaw has depicted
him as rather heavy Britisher in "The
Dark Lady of the Sonnets"; Philip
Moc!!cc has limned him as an egotisti-
cal philosopher in "a Roadhouse in
Arden; Mary Mcmillan has set him
forth indistinctly IN an awkward sa-
tire in which Mr.. Shaw also appears;
an unknown dramatist has put him on
the boards as an Eligabethan Sam Ship

MEXICO IN THE PLATFORM.

The arrival In Washington of a spe-
cial envoy from Mexico, intrlsted as
High Commissioner with the task of re-
establishing friendly relations between
his country and the United States. con-
tains a suggestion which should not be
overlooked by the Democratic National
Convention at San Francisco. Whether
the new Mexican Government can re-
establish friendly conditions in Mexico
among Mexicans is still. of course, to be
determined. But the promptness with
which it has taken steps to dissipate
the suspicion and bad feeling that have
characterized American and Mexican
relations for the last ten years appears
TO indicate sincere desire to eliminate
all causes Of controversy.
We cannot fairly deny Mexico the
same right to control her own internal
affairs that we claim for ourselves If
American enterprise is unjustly treated,
or If American citizens are the victims
of deliberate hostility or indifference on
the part of Mexican authorities, we
should protest and demand redress as
we would do In the case of q powerful
nation. But the Democratic party snould
be careful not to suggest, as the Republi-
can platform does, a recourse TO inter-
vention on superficial pretexts. The
people Of this country are in no mood
TO indorse a war against Mexico, or any
form Of armed interference, except for
the graveSt reasons.-Baltmore Sun.

The Democratic Platform.

There will be no differences of opinion
ON the Democratic platform within the
ranks of the party except with those small
factions who sought to use the San Fran
cisco Convention to further pet plans or
designs of their own. Mr.. Bryan, for
example. went to Chicago loaded with
planks of his own construction, but they
were all rejected, and the views of the ad-
ministration prevailed. Mr.. Bryan faced
an onnosition that totalled e2913, while
the Nebraskan had total of only l5512
delegates with him on the ballot for dry
plank which he put forward and pressed
with all the force at his command.
The platform as adopted is progressive
and liberal: it covers almost every ques-
tion of interest to the country. 1t is
frank. direct and forward-looking and
will be accepted by the party followers as
defining democracy's stand on all the
important issues coming before the Ameri-
can voters in the coming campaign
The only point not touched upon is the
future of Prohibition and this is regarded
as settled by the recent decision OF the
L. $. Supreme Court. The Republicans
are likewise on record as passing up the
iouor question without comment.
The record of the Wilson administra-
ton is endorsed almost UNANIMOUSLY and
gives the opposing party and the country
to understand clearly that democracy is
almost solidly behind the President and
fully endorsed his conduct of the war. his
stand on the League of Nations and his
acts Of the past four years.
No other President Of the United States
has been called upon to pass upon such
vital issues Of the very first magnitude
and no other President has taken so firm,
determined a stand for right and came
through eight years as leader of his
partv with the organization unbroken and
his administration heartily ap-
proved bv n convention representing the
best thought of the country.
President Wilson is indeed the leader
Of his party no less than the leader of his
country. Under his guidance the nation
has achieved more than at any other time
in its history.
The six Delaware delegates voted with
the administration forces on the Bryan
dry plank, the wet plank, and on the
Irish plank, recording the six noes" in
each. On the Presidential nomination
four of the Delaware delegates voted
for McAdoo and two for Marshall on
each of the two ballots that had been
taken up to noon today.

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE LEAGUE AMENDMENT.

Taking the text of the Walsh amend
ment as transmitted from San Francisco,
The World can find no fault with II at all.
On the contrary, we heartily approve of
it as wise and far-sighted provision for
an honest compromise that will leave the
covenant unimpaircd No advocate Of
the League. unless he puts pride OF opinion
above the realities of the situation, could
object to il.
The'plank as amended makes clear
cut issue between the Democratic and
the Republican Parties. The Republican
Convention refused TO indorse the League
OF Nations. II commended all the Re
publican Senators who had murdered the
treaty, those who belonged TO the Bat
talon Of Death as we'll as those who vot
cd for the treaty with the Lodge reserva-
tions If offered no hope TO a war-w-ecked
civlliza ton cxcept mythical association
Of nations, an association that exists
only in the minds Of group of Old Guard
Republican politicians. To the League OF
Nations that Is already established. to
the League of which all the great coun-
tries except the United States and Ger
many are members, the Republican Party
and the Republican candidate are COM
pletelv antagonistic.
Instead Of weakening the Democratic
attitude toward the League, the Walsh
amendment makes it the more distinct.
1t shows a Democratic Party unreserved-
~ committed to the covenant, yet Dem
ocrauc Party that IS ready TO accept
any honest reservations that clarity the
obligations of the United States and
make them specific What more could

q. Is it true that canned foods may be

this condition. l.. j.. J.
A.. In poisoning cases investigated by
tho Bureau od Chemistry, it has been re-
peatedly shown that the food consumed
was spoiled, and that someone who handled
IL recognized its condition. Canned food,
free from gas or swell from disintegration
and from bad odors, has proved safe in
all OF their experiments. The responsibility
for determining its fitness for consumption
rests with the person who opens the can.

q. Is sea island cotton still produced in
the South? g. NJ ".
a. This famous variety Of cotton has
practically passed out of existence in the
South owing 70 the advent Of the boil

THE END OF THE TURK.

The Turkish reply to the peace terms
does not sound much like the bombastic
talk of Mustapha Kemal. He was said
the other day TO dominate the Sultan
Government, but there is no indication of
it. Most of the onerous conditions, which
completely dismember the Ottoman
Empire, are accepted without protest
Armenia, or a part Of it not yet defined;
Syria, Mesopotamia, Arabia, the islands in
the Aegean Sea, the shadowy claims of
the Turk in North Africa, are resigned.
The Turkish straits became an inter
national highway under a foreign COM
mission. This gives South Russia ac-
cess TO the sea and puts Constantinople
at the mercy of any foreign feet lying
in the Bosphorus The Turks offer no
resistance 10 this, but merely beg for
Turkish representatives on the com
mission, and ask for the naturalization
of the straits in analogy with the Suez
Canal.
At only two points is strong protest
offered, and this is merely a matter of
words There is no kind of resistance,
and, of course, the Sultan, in a capital
dominated by foreign fleets, could not
offer any resistance. There is no inuima-
ton in the brief abstract of the Turkish
reply which has been published of resis-
tance by Mustapha Kemal and his Ma
tionalists. They are already resisting in the
vicinity Of Smyrna, but 900 Greek
troops are quite capable of dealing with
them. Philadelphia Record.

The Morris Case.

There will be general assent to the
decision of the court In accepting second
degree plea on behalf of Ollie Morris, the
Sussex county farmers son who slew his
father in April last. The shocking nature
of the crime and the impelling motive
indicated that the young man was men-
tally weak, or perverted; there was some
question, too, as to whether or not he
was responsible for the taking of his
fathers life. While perhaps that issue
was not directly raised, it undoubtedly
was taken into consideration by the
Attorney-General and the judges sitting
in the trial. 1t is as well to give the hap
less young man the benefit of the doubt,
spare his life. at the same time placing him
under such restraint kat he can do no
further harm.
Aside from the moral it poipts-to
avoid evil companions as carefully as one
would a vicious snake-it would be well
to forget the whole shocking circum
stances.

oh. You Beautiful Dolll >

1t was not "little child" that led the
San Francisco convention on Wednes-
day night when the weary delegates were
treated to real gem of speech by a
woman in seconding the nomination OF
John w. Davis for the Presidency. She
had something worth saying something
unlike the platitudes that the delegates had
been listening to through day of nomi-
mating speeches--and she said it in clear,
sweetly modulated voice and at once
bounded by single leap into the strong
limelight of the convention. She first
assured the delegates that God created
woman out of Adams brain. thereby cor
recting long surviving misapprehension
that woman was the offspring of a rib,
sort of side product. She also declared
that the Ambassador to Great Britain
measured UP to women's ideals; that he
practices what others preach and that he
is a home-brcd, well read American states
man. The band, alive to possibilities.
struck up ooh, You Beautiful Doll, and
the convention halted while the delegates
went to take "close up at the attrac-
tive blond woman. n former actress, who
had given the convention such an agree
able thrill
With women winningtheir way so rapid
ly we will have to watch out or we will
have a national ticket that buttons down
the back.
