New-York tribune., 1920-05-06

| While the 1.-the figure stopped and
swayed
And woke the wood to life again.
I wondered, warrior, and still
I wonder you could 80 forget
How deeply ye that waste and kill
To music's art have stood in debt.
For when the bands swing down the
street
And ranks in rhythm are passing by,
Who sees the fields of tramped wheat
Or cities flaming to the sky?
Sees wounded huddled in the rain,
Or men by cannon ripped apart?
Treads corridors of mortal pain,
And feels that pain pierce his own
heart?
When martial airs abroad are flung,
Or martial quicksteps blithely
played,
When songs in praise of strife are
sung
Mankind forgets your ugly trade.
And, warrior, when you are cold,
The spell of Handel or Chopin
Closes the truth: You helped uphold
The Stone Age feuds of man and
man. AGRICOLA STRONG.

November, 1916, hanging over the
ticker conceding the election of Mr..
Wilson, we have been skeptical of "in-
dications." So we are only academi-
cally interested in the results Of the
primaries. 1t is, as Grantoldrce says,
the box score that tells the story. And.
although General Wood probably will
be elected, you never, as Grantoldrice
says, can tell.

"Only the deepest confidence in each
other" said Mr. Jacques E. Danielson,
'has made possible an arrangement
which | may truly describe as ideal.
Think of devoting oneself to any of
half dozen legitimate pursuits without
leaving home to nagging wife who
either is in a tantrum or in tears, who
either upbraids one for british selfish
ness or sobs that one has ceased to love
her" Well, there are couples who
breakfast together seven mornings
week who don't nag each other. And it
Is conceivable that If husband break
tasted with his wife, say, twice week
for year or so, and suddenly struck
for shorter hours, and breakfasted with
her, say, only once a month, it is, we
repeat, conceivable that she might sus-
pect that he was C. Selfish Brute or
that his Love Was Growing Cold, And
it is just possible that she'd tell him So
No, though it may be violating
confidence to say it, the success of a
marriage depends somewhat on the mar
riers.
Mr. Danielson is pianist, and we
don't blame Miss Hurst for not wanting
him around while she is working. The
playing of scales, or practicing a bar or
two over and over again, doesn't in
crease literary productivity. But in
families that boast of--or are modest
about-only one author, it is pleasant
to have the non-writing member at hand
Look, mamma" the author shouts in
his creative glee, "look what I made.
The pretty rhymes" 900, papa" the
adoring helpmeet cries, you're grand.
How elegant they will look in the
paper, them rhymes"
1t was pointed out at the breakfast
table yesterday that some women have
avoided the monotony of soft boiled egg
stains on the tablecloth by marrying
gentlemen who are reasonably adroit
in the navigation of soft boiled eggs
