JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest
LIFE NEEDS Us ALL.

There is so much that we can do,
A kind word spoken here and there
Will ease another's weight OF care;
life needs us all. The splendid rev
who rise to fame, with all their skill
Your post and mine can never NIL.
IF we who have not wealth or fame,
should fail in all our little deeds,
The world woud sink beneath its
needs
NOT frv the greatness of a name.
Nor by the spiendor of success,
Are hearts restored to happiness.
Ahout lis all are-those who need
The gifts which we have power to
give;
we can be friendly while we live
And by some thoughtful kindly deed
Can help another on his way
And that is service come what may.
What though we miss the heights OF
skill,
The splendor of the greater few,
There is so much that we can do,
| There is q place which we can fill--
Always about us while we live,
Are those who need what we car
- give.

COMMUNITY PLAYERS.

Mrs. A. Star Best. one of the vice
presidents of the Drama League of
America, speaking before the local
branch of that organization seveT~l
nights ago, predicted that the high cost
of transportation would eventually
eliminate the touring theatrical COM
pany, and that its place would be filled
by community players, exchanging
plays with other cities.
We believe that the speaker took a
slightly pessimistic outlook on the
theatrical situation, although we would
agree with her regarding the future Of
community players. Transportation
costs are debarring some producers
from sending over the country their
huge spectacles, but in 90 cases out of
100 the public far from Broadway has
been benefited. Those extrava ganzas
costly burlesques under more eupho-
/ NOUS titles, and girl shows which play

WHO WAS GUILTY.

The washington Post, usually accu-
rate i'm its statements, allowed It's paru-
san rancour to get the better OF It's
Judgment Sunday in an editorial which
declared that the pienipotentiaries at
the Versailles conference
xxpre under the spur of unnecessary
haste. caused by the determination
of the dominant figure, President
Wilson. to push through his pana-
cea at all cost.
The truth Is, as all who were In
Pari. and in intimate touch with the
Conference know. that the Old Tiger
Clemenceau, and that grand seigneur
Of opportunists. Lloyd George. were the
ones who held up the declaration of
peace for SO long.
Clemenoeau had to handle several
Administration crises in the Chamber
of Deputies, and Lloyd George had to
pacify his House of Commons. which
threatened to overthrow his govern
ment while he was attending the par
leys.
President wilson's presence did not
delay matters; IL anything 1t expedited

.IES EIEURS DT NAL

when Charles Baudelaire's volume of
exotic verse. les F1curs du Nal"
shocked the bourgeoisie and thrilled the
artistic world. certain critics charged
that the poet had been unduly inru-
eneed by the poems of Edgar Allen Poe.
which several years before he had
translated into French. But time has
given Raudelsire a little niche OF his
own IN fame's pantheon. When liter
airy France celebrated his centenary
saturday, the clouds OF distrust had
long rolled away, and IL was admitted
that Baudelaire was the forerunner of
a new school OF poets, more daring than
all predecessors.
Raudelaire's verse. especially those
pieces which were included in The
Flowers of Evil" were not intended for
the eyes Of the adolescent. They were
Tor the matured-minded men and wo-
men Of the world. who occasionally
might desire TO wander along menta
paths which lead into the artists Mir
,ana. They were the expressions o
moods-exotic. If you wish-whicl
many men might feel. but which few
could place into word-imag gerry so beau
tuuliy
Unfortunately for Baudelaire, the en-
tire tribe Of imitators who have fiocke'
about his standard in the past half
century have caused certain critics t
label him a decadent. He was not
decadent--he was a supreme artist i
words; but his imitators. who coul
only copy the husk and not the kerne
of his golden grain. were the true dc
cadents. Thus a man was labelled b
TN works OF his followers. and not b
his own efforts.

pEaRTH OF TRAINED DIPLOMATS.

American diplomacy ia conducted
through an organization Of which Min
lsters and Ambassadors are important
but not the sole members. An irn-
rnense amount OF work is transacted by
secretaries of various grades who are
responsible for the preparation Of re-
ports. the conduct Of Investigations and
the general operation Of important
parts OF the diplomatic machinery.
BY executive order OF President Taft
these subordinate positions were placed
under special Civil Service rules. APP
polntments and promotions are based
on merit. and there is no reason why
the personnel of the diplomatic ser
vice should not be Of the highest type.
The fact remains that trained and COM
petent men do not enter the service in
sufficient quantity 70 insure that i shall
measure up to the tremendous problems
which the United States is now facing.
II is on this account that the proposal
to establish at Haverford college a chair
for the training OF candidates for the
+ Diplomatic service is of more than pass
! ing significance, The colleges and uni
/ versities of America should definitely
/ aid the country in solving its inter
i national problems.-Baltimore sun.

SHIPPING RATES.

One of the principal causes OF the
depression which for several months
has hung over the shipping world mas
been at last removed. The disastrous
var in ocean freight rates to the ports
of continental Europe was brought TO
an end last week This 'cutthroat COM
netifion. which has been in progress
since the fall of 1920. was caused by
the breaking away of the French line
from the agreed scale Of rates because.
as its owners alleged, the United
States shipping board was overton-
naginr the trades in which the fTench
vessels were employed. The Lloyd
Roval Beige followed suit, and soon
there was a general cutting or rates
among all the competing lines, unui
freight that formerly cost $50 ton TO
carry across the Atlantic was actually
TRANSPORTED for less than 81
To such an extent did the price
slashine 20 that British merchants
found it cheaper 10 get their gooas
shipped from the United states to
France and reshipped thence 10 bFllasn
norts than to have them cohslsheu
direct to England. These conaltiohs
forced the United Kingdom conferences
to reduce its rates by 20 per cent o'
have its vessels driven from the sea
SO that there was loss all around.
The whole situation was nioglcai ahe
| chiIdishly absurd. but, although many
| efforts were made to effect an ADJUST
ment, it was not until last SATURDAY
| that the parties in interest were IN
| duced to come to an agreement iof Tn
| re-establishing of a standard rate.
The new schedules show rise
from 200 to 800 per cent over the rate
| lately prevalent. Thus the ffeisht o'
