Poets Homes.

1t is a sign of the revolutionary
spirit in literature that the move
ment for Poets Home should begin
in Milwaukee. We had never thought
at once of Milwaukee and poetry. But
now that the gross material thing
with which the American mind so
long associated Milwaukee is gone
what could be more beautiful than to
have poetry take It's place?
And, after all, Milwaukee is neu-
trail ground for the various schools
of poetry. The ascetic rhymers Of
New England. the careless weavers
of Greenwich Village free verse, the
breezy bards Of the West, the soft
singers Of the South--all could gather
in Milwaukee, The Wisconsin me-
tropolis would be a sort of Hague or
Geneva for poetry.
One OF the movers of the Poets
Home In Milwaukee expresses hope
that eventually every city will have
such an Institution. II Is to bs not

Signs of Spring.

What constitutes an infallible sign
of the coming of spring? The robin
and the wild goose are considered as
reliable as any by persons who have
given the subject close attention over
long period.
Numerous robins have been seen
and heard within fifty miles Of the
metropolis for a week past. and geese
have been observed flying north in
their Characteristic wedge formation
with the father of the flock acting as
pilot. There have been other winters
when the robin has been observed In
this region in February, but never in
the recollection of persons long past
the half century mark in years has
he been seen at so early date in
what As generally considered the cold
est month of the year.
It Is true that there have been
occasions when the redbreast has suf-
fered for what was either his own
temerity or false alarm on the part
Of Dame Nature, but with evidences
Of swelling buds and other signs of
spring, such as the generous shedding
of winter coats by horses and cattle,
It would appear that Cock Robin was
justified IN tuning his pipes for n
roundelay long before Easter, of
which joyous season he has always
been delightful factor.

An Automobile Danger.
Safety of Pedestrians at Crossings
Disregarded Sometimes.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: II both
police and motor car drivers thought
more about pedestrians there would be
fewer accidents.
A few days ago coming from the
Pennsylvania Station in Thirty-fourth
street l was going to cross Seventh ave-
nue.. There were about fifteen or sixteen
persons waiting to cross over. The whiH-
tie was blown. the traffic was stopped on
Seventh avenue and we crossed over, but
just before we reached the sidewalk an
automobile coming from the direction
of Broadway turned sharply around the
corner and We had to scramble to get
on the sidewalk in safety. Three per-
sons fell down. Had we not scrambled
out of the way several of US would have
been run over. ] am an old man and
l cannot run very fast.
saw the same thing happen at Forty
second street and Fifth avenue. Before
we got to the sidewalk on the other
side an automobile coming from the di-
rection of the Grand Central Terminal
turned the corner suddenly and we had
to scramble onto the sidewalk.
The traffic police should not allow any
driver to turn the corner into the road
when he has held up the traffic. but it
is done In every principal avenue.

Radicalism Masquerading.

When radical doctrines of any sort
are taught in the schoolroom or
preached from the pulpit they borrow
a sanction and assume an authority
which do not rightfully belong to
them. In this way an unfair advan-
tage IS taken of the young and the
thoughtless. These are led to absorb
dangerous ideas. ON the supposition
that they are certified as wholesome
by agencies commanding attention
and respect.
The condemnation OF such mislead.
ing propaganda. uttered nt sessions OF
the National Civic Federation, is alto
pether warranted. The State and ITS
people have right to. demand that
the public school teacher. who IL the
very mouthpiece of American civiliza.
;ion. placed In a special position Of
Influence for the cultivation of It's
principles. shall not take advantage OF
his or her opportunity to undermine
these principles and to teach social,
moral and economic ideas inconsis-
tent Herewith. II is a serious abuse.
TOO, that the school buildings should
be used for assaults upon the estab-
lished order. II gives to such attacks
a spurious importance which increases
their menace to society.
In the discussion Of radical propa.
ganda In the churches il would seem
as II an exaggerated fear was ex-
pressed by some of the speakers The
practice is confined to few spots
and probably does not affect many
persons save those who already lean
TO subversive theories. It is unde-
niable, however, that revolution of
any type, using the Organization Of
any church or making any use of
the religious spirit Of men and women
10 gain hearing or TO win over i'm
pressionable minds. is guilty Of sheer
dishonesty. It Is perverting the
things that people respect and the
highest emotions of humanity 10 n
crooked purpose.
The public authorities should exact
the most thorough loyalty to the Gov
eminent of the country and to Its
basic principles on the part OF all
