On Reading My Diary.

This was the truth, as near as | could get il.
Although that truth is truth TO me no
longer.
But dead misapprehensions make me
stronger
Who am infallible now and no more blind!
These mummied thoughts seem vivid and
exciting:
For Qike vast percentage of mankind)
Myselfs my selfs main interest: so | find
Not one dull page in all these resms OF
writing.
"An egotist!!" you say Is that un-
usual?
Show me the man, (provided he's a
sound one,)
Who's totally assured that he's Ounce!
Such men are rare indeed: I've never
found one;
But when / do Ill actuate him at once
Toward wholesome introspection. Ill sd-
wise him,
Take samples Of your grandiose delusion,
"And trace each complex down to its con-
Watch your reactionsr And within
week
He'll satisfy himself that he's unique.

Personal Note.

Each noontjme-or;; if we may be percise,
Each day from one to two o'cIork-we go
To luncheon at a Chinese restaurant
Ito specify its name would be breach
OF ethics) and we sit there for an hour,
Eating no food, but drinking cups and cups
OF cafe noir and smoking black cigars.
The walters point US out to customers,
And chuckle at our eccentricity;
And people wonder how we stand the strain
Of ali that nicotine and coffee-how
Our nerves endure it-when the break will
come,
So that this Column shall no more appear,
And they can nod and say Il told you so!'
The answer is: We do not smoke cigars,
Nor drink black coffee at our midday meal.
Nor ever do we go at one o'clock,
Nor any other time to that resort
Where we are pointed out and wondered at.
But Someone does-someone who Says he's
Us,
And has collected quite little crowd
OF cronies there, and given US Tone
Ouite like De Maupassant, or Baudelaire;
And is creating Legends of our wit
And all that sort of thing. We thank the
And some day hope to meet him, face to
face.

Memoirs Vex Theosophists
Cult Resents Witte Attack

ments are apt to meet with an unquestion-
ing credulity. Particularly is this true when
we realize the snobbish tendency OF multi
tudes of readers to accept almost reverently
anything that comes from titled source.
Those students of Thcosophy who have
received the very breath CT life from the
spiritual teachings of this wonderful woman
feel that it would be worse than dastardly
if they allowed any attack upon. her real
nobility to go unchsllenged."
Count Witte makes such grave charges
as that Nine. Blavatsky at Constsntinople
entered circus as an equestrian" He goes
further, says Prof. Harris, to impugn her
moral character. The attacks are very like
others made on cult founders, where it is
the personal character that the assailant
attempts to asperse, disregarding the truth
or falsity of the tenets laid down by the
founder. And apparently the defenders are
always ready to engage in a polemical dis
pute in which chronology and other very
tangible evidence is dragged in instead Of
taking refuge in the beauties OF the faith
itself. P. A. o.

Close Tower Gates
Picturesque Ceremony

1t is a picturesque ceremony that each
night sees repeated within the Tower of
London. The heavy oaken gates are lock-
ed with accustomed formality when the
chief warder, with the kings keys, makes
the round with his guard, and with the
closing of the wickets thereafter till sun
rise none may enter OF leave the fortress.
As the hour for closing approaches the
chief warder, carrying in his hand his
bunch of great keys, proceeds to the main
guard and there asks for "the escort for
the keys" A sergeant and four privates
are detailed, one carrying a lantern to
light the way about the passages darkened
by the high walls. As the barrier gate,
then the middle tower, and last the by
ward tower, are closed and locked in turn
the escort presents arms at each. The
party returns TO the main guard, and inn
mediately they pass into the black arch
OF the bloody tower leading to the inner
ward, the sentrys challenge rings out:
Halt! Who comes there"
The footballs are suddenly silenced as
the party draws up with military snap,
warder:
"The keys"
Whose keys" the sentry asks.
King Georges keys
Advance, King Georges keys; alrs
weli'-and the escort proceeds to the main
guard IN front OF winch they form up, the
guard, under command of an officer, hav-
ing turned out. The officer gives the
order, "guard and escort, present arms"
and this honor is paid to the keys.
Thereafter the chief warder steps two
PAGES in front of the escort, and removing
his Tudor hat calls:
God preserve King Georgew
The whole OF the guard and escort an
swer "Amenp The keys arc then carried
80 al 4. L.. IL. al
resident governor, with whom they remain
for the night. For how many centuries
back this ceremony has been performed
none can tell; the keys of FIVE reigning
Georges, of James, Charles, Elizabeth, back
to the Henrys-back, perhaps, so long as
there has been Tower of London-havc
in this same manner been saluted. 1t is
custom that one may hope will never de
from disuse.

The Gospel Of Greed.

The New York Herald makes much of
the fact that a first shipload of Canadian
wheat had been sent from Vancouver via
the Panama Canal to England. 1t pro-
ceeds to point out that this disposes of the
economic need of the St. Lawrence water
route to the ocean as Vancouver is an all
year port while the ST. Lawrence is ice
locked FIVE months of the year.
1t is remarkable on how small peg
too large a conclusion is hung. Our con-
temporary could at least have enlarged the
peg. 1t is very probable, il not certain,
that very large quantities OF western Can
adian wheat for export, as well as that
of our own western States far inland, will
have to use that same Panama water foute
or quit raising grian.
This is compelled by reason Of the trem-
endous increase in rail rates, now so high
that railroad managers themselves say they
must be materially reduced or they will
have to surrender long haul commodity
business. For the same reason, the New
York Herald may find, since it is so
anxious, that metals are seeking this water
route from as far inland as Montana and
losing in proportion to extra transporta-
ton charge.
But what of that vast territory of the
Mississippi Valley, the Dakotas, and Mid
die Canada from which the bulk of all the
country's food supplies comes? They can
not afford to ship across the Rocky Noun
tains at present land rates to reach the
Pacific. Neither can they afford to ship
to Great Lake ports, pay double handling
charges, trans-shipping by rail at lower
lake ports and then handling again at the
east ports.
Shall these producers close their farm
factories and let this country grow hun
cry? Shall. we build up the agriculture of
Argentina and other South Americas,
which have only short land hauls to their
ports? Or shall we open this St. Lawrence
waterway and give these, our own people
this through transportation advantagef
The New York Herald by its narrow
vision merely demonstrates anew the total
selfishness of its position. To, preserve
conditions of almost impossible port con
gestion at New York., it would ruin the
agricultural resources of this country.

Vnginia University.

Virginia is generous as State to her
two splendid universities, each of which
fills a distinctive space. But no State has
ever provided adequately for the rounded,
adequate expansion Of its higher educa-
tional institutions. Maybe it should not.
Maybe if one did, those who have had
such educational advantages would in part
forget their obligations. Maybe those who
had richly profted by the natural wealth
of the State and its protection of their in
dustry, would forget their obligations to
the institutions which peculiarly safeguard
good government.
The University of Virginia, founded by
Thomas Jefferson and located on his es-
tate at Charlottesville, is especially an in
tegral part of the State. In beauty of To-
cation, in inspirational architecture, in its
traditions and historic background it is a
condensation of the history of the State.
1t condenses within itself that pride of
ancestry, that standard of honor, that GER
tain fneness of citizenship and the ideals
of loyalty to her institutions, which have
distinguished that State.
The university has just turned its cen
tury. Its alumni and admirers have PLAN
ned 100000 birthday endowment. This
is not too ambitious as such gifts are now
reekoned. 1t is all very much needed and
her children are determined their foster
mother shall not continue to lack in ex-
pansion of usefulness.
Her halls are open to those outside as
well as inside the State, and really the uni-
versity is more than State institution; it
is national in the true sense of its historic
inclusiveness. 1t should not be difficult
nor a long task to raise this fund. 1t
should be source of pride and satisfar-
ton to contribute to it, and in fact the
gathering-in is well under way.

That Wicked League.

The Anti-Saloon League is the bette noir
of every American with a thirst. To hear
dryness with perdition, one would think
the league was handmaiden to the devil,
and read the advocates of those who class
an autocratic power that held Congress
and State legislatures in hypnotic state OF
subserviency.
1t would seem the league alone NAM
tanned lobby. That though in fact repre-
senting decided minority, it domineered
with Soviet tyranny and was the worlds
one most successful exponent of bluff.
Where it could not bulldoze, it bought,
and American innocence was deprived by
its Vaccinations of the inherent right of .
pursuit of happiness.
If these oracles of thirst are right, the
New Orleans Pieayune needs instruction.
1t has the notion that 'the Volstead act
was passed in the face of what was per-
haps the most powerful combination of
interests ever brought to bear in favor
of nationwide custom. These forces were
organized. held together and extended by
means OF the saloon, brewery and dis
tillery" 49,
These interests, also, had the incentive
OF personal financial profits. They had
enormous investments. They had abundant
funds They had their own publicity
agencies. They were cohesive. closely

They were entrenched in the nation
wide custom" If, as is now claimed, they
represented the great majority, they could
hardly have been overthrown by minority
acting without public favor. but poorly e.
nanced, comparatively, and acting in the
open. Evidently somewhere, somehow,
someone is badly mistaken. It took more
than SNUG bunch of hypocrites to force
all but FIVE States to ratify the prohibition
amendment. and to pass the volstead act.
The liquor interests are much like the
Germans of their usual origin in that they
refuse to learn, refuse to admit defeat, when
compelled to accept the results of their
own failure to rule the world. They have
no sympathy and their "kultur" will never
again pass current in this country. If the
Volstead act needs to be strengthened, this
will be done
All the tales of the evils of prohibition are
90 per cent imagination. There has not
been an increase in the use of narcotics.
There is less poverty, less demand for
charity, more empty jails and poorhouses,
and fewer wife desertions. The change
has been nationally wholesome, so much
so that investigators from Great Britain
have resersed their unfavorable opinions.
But there is an organized lobby, an or
ganized propaganda and. publicity by the
same old liquor band, still in operation,
which stops at nothing. knows no loyalty
to country and no law of morals. 1t is
fortunate that the league is also still ae-
tive and through it the dominant opinion
of the folks can and will express itself.

The Washington herald., 1921-03-20

Thirty years after the death of Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky, foundress OF the present
Philosophical movement, the Theosophical
Defense League arises to issue "refutation
of recently published slanders" against the
revered mother of belief comparatively
modern, but based, its adherents maintain,
upon lore as old as or older than present
civilization, .-
There is nothing novel in the founding of
new faith; there is nothing novel in its
being vigorously assailed and defended;
practically all faiths are spiritual basket
balls, tossed up and down the field Of world
consciousness until the opponents grow
tired and seek another medium Of contest.
Nor is there anything remarkable in the
founding of faith by woman, or its being
sustained through women; the sex had
played a great part in divine and priestly
history
There is something remarkable. however,
m the peculiar suspicion with which modern
ity looks upon such foundings by women,
apparently in disregard of ancient teachings.
This when it is recalled that in practically
all faiths women have held positions in
which they were looked upon as divinely
inspired. This is true of the Egyptians, the
Greeks, the Jews, the early Christians. 1t
is in the great Far Eastern faith of Budd-
hism that woman is taboo. Yet the intro
duction of Buddhism to the Occident is
largely the work of women. Mohammedan-
ism is the one major faith where woman
has been and is an outcast, even in propa-
ganda work Her highest state is that of an
hour. --
The present defense of Nine BlavatsLy
is containd in brochure by Iverson L.
Harris, professor of law of the Theosophical
University, Point Iona, Cal, and is in
answer to attacks on the mother of the
Theosophical faith contained in the memoirs
of Count Sergius witte, now being pub
lished.
How strong grip beliefs which are as
closed book to the world at large gain upon
their votaries! Apparently the more esoteric
the cult the more fiery its militant defense
of its founders.
"The second instaliment Of these me-
moirs," declares Prof Harris, contains an
alleged biographical sketch of Nine. Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky, the illustrious founder
of the Theosophical Society. The quality
of the remarks of the noted author is in no
way superior to the various contemplate
attacks which from time to time have been
made upon this great world teacher. But
owing to the fact that the author bears the
title of nobleman, and from his kinship to
Mime. Blavatsky apparently had unusual
opportunities for gaining actual kpowledge
concerning her, his comments and state

Plebiscites.

The frequently postponed and very. i'm
portant plebiscite to determine the SOW
ereignty of the rich territory of Upper
Silesia is now scheduled to be held on
March 20 and April g. On the first Of
these dates the local population will vote
and on the second nonresident SIlesiaps
This plebiscite like the others that have
been held since the war, seems to be the
only means of putting into effect the prin-
ciple of self-determination, and yet il we
may believe one-half the charges and al
legations of both Poles and Germans, this
vote in Upper Silesia will be far from an
indication Of the free choice of the people
of this territory. This, however, is not a
new charge against plebiscites.
In the days of Rome the plebiscite was
employed for the purpose of determining
the will of the plebes. But its FIRST general
use to determine a change in sovereignty
was during the French revolution, when il
was used extensively by the republican
government who found it a convenient
arrangement by which it could justify the
annexation of territory.
The first case where il was applied by
the French, was in the small paDal states
of Avignon and Venaissin, whit revolted
in 1870 and were in 1871 annexed to France
under the pretext of a favorable plebiscite.
Savoy and Nice followed similar proceed
ure and Belgium, having revolted against
the Austrians to win her independence, was
forced to declare for annexation to France
by a plebiscite. in which members OF
French Jacobin clubs and French troops
participated.
The form of the plebiscite was also ex-
tensively employed by Napoleon III, him
self raised to power by a plebiscite, who
stipulated that the cession of Savoy and
Nice to France should be confirmed by
popular vote. He also endeavored to ac-
quire Luxembourg by a similar method
Even Bismarck agreed in principle to a
plebiscite in Northern Schleswig after 1864,
but he took care that it never was held.
The union of Moldava and Wallachia was
effected by popular vote of the Ruman-
ians in 1857. In,I8oo when Great Britain
eeded Helgoland to Germany, Lord Sails
bury refused to allow a popular vote of the
inhabitants on the ground that the plebis-
cite was not among the traditions of his
country.
The separation of Norway from Sweden
was the result of a vote in which 6S,eos
Norwegians voted for separation and only
Is4 against it In the Western hemisphere
plebiscites have been less frequent The
Tacna-Arica dispute between Chile and
Peru, however, which is the result of the
failure OF these governments to agree on
the conditions under which the plebiscite
is to be held. has been pending since 1884.
The use to which the plebiscite has been
put m the past do not show it to be an in.
fzilible method of putting into practice the
principle of self-determination. Yet with
all its possibilities of misuse, ii is to be pre-
ferred to economic or military eonsidera-
tons as the only basis for determining dis
puted sovereignty
