An Old, Old Story

The spirit of democracy, like that
of youth, will not be denied. 1t
bursts all bonds and floods all forms
of life. Religious as we'll as political
institutions respond to it's compul-
sions.
SO the Christian Science sect, rep
resenting one of the most astonish-
ing religious developments of Amer
lea, is undergoing an internal rend-
ing, sound of which reaches the pub
lie. The issue seems to be as to
whether the organization shall be
controlled by a self-perpetuating
center Of command or by the masses
of it's membership. There is the
old duel between the idealism which
is diffused and speaks through many
voices, often at times disharmoni-
ously, and rabbinic authority.
The aspirations of all the great
F, religious 'lcaders of history, who
thought to erect temples not made
with hands, have been made vanity
by the materialisms of stone and
mortar and by the music of rituals
and by the logic of 'dogmas which
have usurped the seat of Immediate
mastery.
With respect to the Christian
Science Church, whether one rejects
or accepts its philosophy of life, it
will be admitted that it has pros
pered, despite the bitter attacks
made on it from without. Making
its appearance in 1865, during fit.
teen years it was in no way insti-
tutionalized. But about 1880 the
seeds of organism were planted with
the formation Of the first incorpo-
rated congregation. 1t seemed the
founders idea to discountenance
indignation; she insisted on the
simplest of services and forbade q
clergy.
Mere agglutination was easy as
long as she lived and her decisions
were law. But since the tendency
to organization has grown fast. The
present controversy does not seem
SO much over whether there shall
be government as over whether
there shall be an autocracy by the
Mother Church, or democratic con-
gregational self-determination in
accord with New England traditions.
/ In the thirteenth century St.
Thomas Aquinas stood with Urban
Nv and watched the gorgeous pro-
cession that moved in the visitors
honor. Turning to the Dominican,
Urban said. "See, Thomas, no longer

To the Editor of The Tr;huno

40 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: am not a chronic kicker
However, let it be said, this income
tax business has my "goat" adorned
with blue ribbon and manicured
hoofs. Considering the present high
rate for imperfect living, is it possible
that any one considers $4,000 for q
married man and 5000 for each child
or dependent a sufficient personal ex-
emption from income taxes?
Perhaps a family of four can live
on an income Of $4,000 or s4,Oo0-by
which mean it is possible providing
all customs and precedents of the
family are disregarded. 1t is practi-
cally Impossible, however. to overlook
standards of living. Things bred in
the bone are not easily cast aside. One
can live in tenement house and still
retain his standards-or slip down in
agony, and few will allow that slip.
Why then. when the majority Of the
taxpayers are Of this class, should it
not be taken into consideration bv our
representatives at Washington and
Albany7
1t also seems inexcusable to me that
the military compensation "joker'
should be allowed to remain in the New
York State income tax return.

without its evidences of immaturitv.
False tragedy is in it, as we'll as true.
The story of the boy who wanted to
visit the far places Of the world and
remained to drudge on hillside farm
is poignant and appealing. The fact
that he died Of tuberculosis is not rele-
want or important. 1t is time that
playwrights realized that the most NOV
ing tragedies are those in which people
go on living.
c. 7. Copeland, Of Harvard, put the
matter more concisely than anybody
else we know, in his room in Hollis
good many years ago. He had been
reading Sheridan's "Critic" to his class.
and in it there was situation in which
two men who were about to stab two
women were checkmated by a second
pair Of men, who stood just behind
them with drawn swords. In fact, the
characters were 80 tightly woven into
the situation that not one Of them
could move. And In Sheridan's play
the author explained to his protesting
friends that he had invented most
ingenious device to extricate his char
acters from the stalemate in which he
had placed them. There suddenly ap-
peared a beefeater, who cried: drop
your weapons in tho Queens name!"
and the play went on.
The day after the reading I went to
Copeland's room and detained for him
short story which had written, in
the line of duty, about somebody who
went insane or cut his throat or some
thing Of the sort, and as I read the
little man moaned and groaned and
snorted ana indicated acute literary
distress. When the last paragraph
was done he said: ''8roun, try to solve
your problems without recourse to
death. madness or any other beefeater
in tho Queens name."
And, with few exceptions, I have yet
to see play in which death or mad
ness did not come in because the play
wright wanted to get his curtain down
and couldn't think up anything else.

The Round Robins Vindication

How things come around! In the
round robin filed by thirty-seven
Senators on March 4, 1918, it was
declared:
"That it is the sense Of the Senate
that the negotiations on the part Of
the United States should be immedi-
ately directed to the utmost expedi-
ton of the urgent business Of nego-
tiating peace terms with Germany
satisfactory to- the United States and
the nations with whom the United
States is associated in the war against
the German government, and that the
proposal for league Of nations to
insure the permanent peace of the
world should then be taken up for
careful and serious considerations"
And now Democratic Senators are
busy on a plan to ratify the treaty,
but to defer action on the covenant
by single blanket reservation. ri
am convinced" said Senator Under
wood, "that if the President should
resubmit the treaty the Senate
would ratify it in that manner"
Thus there is vindication of the
round robin.
Has the White House mood of
wrathful wrecking so subsidized as
to permit heed of the humble
plea of Senator Underwood? The
treaty, despite the contrary popular
impression, is not dead. 1t is merely
on the Presidents desk in state
of suspended animation. It will be
alive again the instant he retrans-
mits it. He can still have ratifica-
ton on terms the members of his
party in the Senate acknowledge
are reasonable, or by such separa-
ton as Senator Underwood suggests.

In all'the high resolves at Wash
ington to cut out superhuous ex-
penditure the existence Of one an
cient eleemosynary custom seems to
have been overlooked. The free seed
distribution has been one Of the
cherished perquisites Of members Of
Congress. The receipt, postage free,
of seed package is supposed to be
the most magical reminder possible
to a constituent that a benevolent
government is still functioning on
the banks Of the Potomac. That one
direct route to the heart Of the voter
is priced by many Congressman
above all other methods Of publicity.
So Congress has gone on appropriate
ing money in the agricultural bills
for garden seeds, which, II they will
not root in the soil Of pot. or a
bed in the back yard, are at least
available as provender for the
chickens.
Millions of words have been writ
ten in ridtcule Of the seed package
fetish. But It has held its own,
chiefly because Of the human rela-
ton which it has helped to estab-
lish between Congressman and
those who send him to Washington.
Even in this year Of herculean re-
trenchment the House of Repre-
sentatives voted an appropriation of
$239, AIS for the seed handout. The
Senate, which holds little more
aloof from petty electioneering de-
vices than the House does, has
stricken out this allowance. For
that matter, the Senate became edu-
Gated years ago beyond the theory
that seeds are sure gatherers of
votes. 1t has repeatedly challenged
the Houses efforts to continue the
distribution. But the House has
succeeded in conference committee
in keeping alive the genial comedy
Of solicitude for the kitchen gar
deners.
Now. is the opportune occasion, for
displacing that comedy from the
boards. The government needs dol
lars more than the amateur horticul-
turist or his poultry needs seeds.
