qualities and character have hard
ened. But it is tough old world, not
easy to alter, and somehow it has
pretty nearly the same features from
one age TO another. There is an illu-
sion Of change rather than it's sub

but granddad remarks that his
grandchildren are much like his

It is the privilege Of youth to
discover its uniqueness. A genera

doubtless be worrying their heads

nothing new under the sun. Man
ners change, but the stuff behind
them is hard and resistant. We cling
to faith in evolution, but nature sell

stories Of how youth behaved when

The Copyrighted Hero

1t may seem hard lines to the
thrifty.minded that Babe Ruth can
not control the movies of his own
deeds Of proves. Yet the law is be-
coming increasingly clear on the
point, and, while. the swatting case
before Justice Guy possessed some
peculiar features that made it per-
haps border line question, the gen.
eral theory is not open to doubt.
News is news, and the facts of
events in which the public is con-
cerned cannot be made the property
OF any one man. AS for movies, they
have become a 3avorite conveyer of
news. The topical review is one of
the most popular regular features
on movie programs. 1t would be a
sleeping system Of law that did not
recognize this new purveyor of news
and establish its public nature
equally with the printed page.
Publicity is and always has been

fame. 1t Is o delicious thing and

heroes; 1t is exceedingly disagree
able to others, probably not so nu.
merous as professions would indi-
cate. But there is no way Of escap-
ing it. Become famous and you be-
come, in part, public property.
Modern business skill has hugely
capitalized fame Of q sort; but it
cannot escape the general rule which
makes q hero in measure the pub
lies own. Thus, the more the hero
conquers fame the less he owns him.

A Wittelsbach Empire

Since the Knapp debdcte there has
been a tendency In Allied countries
not to take the various schemes of
German monarchists seriously. This
state of mind is one of the assets of
the leaders of the so-called Orgesch
movement, which, started by the Ba-
varian official Escherich, has now
spread all over the Reich and set up
branches even in Austria and Hun
gary.
The strength Of this propaganda
consists in the fact that it's insti-
gators, profiting from the lesson Of
preceding failures, aim at uniting all
dissatisfied elements land who Is not
dissatisfied in Germany to-day?) from
the extreme Right to the extreme
Left, instead Of concentrating, as
did Knapp, on one class only. The
downfall Of communism at Munich
put the Soyalists into power in Ba-
varia, and they form the kernel Of
an organization which embraces rot
only Prussian Junkers, the old Of.
ficers and bureaucrats, the 'heavy
industry Of western Germany and
the clerical-conservstive peasantry
of the south, but also large number
Of communists and other direct &C.
tionists in the great cities. The lat
ter--who dislike the Ebert regime
no less than do the reactionaries-
are coaxed with the prospect of an
alliance with Russia against the
Entente, and out Of this strange
union Of interests o new tendency,
called National Bolshevism," is
emerging, guided Chiefly by q set Of
young and adventurous officers.
AS the center Of gravity Of the
Orgesch is in Bavaria, it is not eur.
prising that the agitation is giving
G new turn to monarchist hopes in
Germany. Leaning upon. the fam
attic Bavarian peasantry and small
bourgeoisie, large numbers OF which
are still armed, the Orgesch leaders

The Record

The distribution of credit for the
ratification Of the suffrage amend
ment--as between the two major po-
litical parties-has been q subject Of
lively dispute. In her letters to
Chairmen Hays and White Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait, president OF the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association, tactfully avoids making
unpleasant comparisons. at is
clear," says Mrs. Gait, shat al
though women owe much to the two
political parties the obligation to
neither is so great that they need to
support that party If Judgment and
conscience dictate otherwise"
Nevertheless, the record remains.
Mrs. Gait prepared statement, be-
fore Connecticut had ratified, which
shows that 6,461 legislators voted
upon the amendment either in Con-
gross or in the legislatures. OF
these 1921 voted to ratify. Thirty
one hundred and ninety-five of them
were Republicans and l,677 were
Democrats. The rest belonged to
other parties. The Republican mar
gin has been increased by Connecti-
cuts adhesion, since the Connecticut
Legislature is strongly Republican
and the vote for ratification was al
most unanimous.
OF the thirty-seven legislatures
which ratified twenty-nine were
called in special session. Nineteen
Of the calls were issued by Repub-
lican Governors and ten by Demo-
cratic Governors. Twenty-eight of
the thirty-seven legislatures ratify-
ing were Republican, seven were
Democratic and two were divided.
Despite Mrs. Cats natural wish
to give the Democratic party all the
credit due it (and Democratic assist
ance was both welcome and neces-
sary), Republicans will be entirely
satisfied to let the record speak for
itself.

California, the Wonder Stat,

California, the Wonder State
California is the wonder state O.
the 1920 census. She has showr
a gain of AL per cent in popula.
ton, the largest state increase We,
reported. The last decade has been
one of diminishing growth in all Sec
lions. Even California's rate of In.
crease shows a falling off compared
with the boom rate Of COL between
1900 and 1910. But she has done
vastly better than any Of her neigh.
bors. Orego4ts percentage Of IN.
crease between 1900 and 1910 was
62.7. Washington's was 1904. But
in the last decade Oregon's gair
was only 1874 per cent and Wash.
ington's only 1873 per cent. Colo.
radios rate declined from 60.1 per
cent to 17.s per cent.
Most states heard from 80 far
have shown gains Of less than 20
per cent. Connecticut alone-with
23.8--stands with California in the
plus 20 per cent class. Maine
whose count was recently finished
grew in population only 3.5 per cent
against 60 in the preceding decade
CALIFORNIA; abnormal growth has
carried her In ranking ahead OF
Georgia and Indiana. 1t will as.
sure her another marked increase
in political power.
With population in 1910 OF
2,377 $40 California was entitled to
eleven seats in the House of Rep
resentatives-a gain Of three. Now
her population is 3,426,536. If the
ratio Of representation is increased
from 211,877, as at present, to $780,
900, she will be entitled to fifteen
seats. On a 100000 ratio her gain
in representation will probably
equal or exceed that of any other
state, with the possible exception of
Michigan. She will have more than
doubled her vote in the House since
1890.
CALIFORNIA; expansion Is just be-
ginning. She is the Empire State
Of the Far West and seems ,des-
tined to live up in every way TO
that proud title.
