TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY
Difference Between Governments of
Greece and Rome and Those of
the Gothic Tribes.


There was this radical difference be-
tween the governments of Greece and
Rome and those of the Gothic tribes.
In the former the state was every
thing, the individual nothing; the
state was thought to have perfect
right to the property, liberty, and
even life. of its citizens. In the lat
ter the individual was everything and
the state comparatively nothing: all
rights were thought to exist, to inhere
by nature in The individuals; and the
state could demand nothing from him
for public use without giving him an
equivalent. Here we find the funda-
mental principle of civil liberty: that
principle which has been so carefully
guarded in the English and in all the
AnglO-American constitutions. and
which was so happily and tersely eX-
pressed by Jefferson in the Declaration
OF independence Our rude Saxon an
cestors, though under a kingly govern
ment, had more real liberty, and a
more just appreciation Of the true dig
nifty of man, than had the polished cit
liens of the republics of the Mediter-
ranean. The Legislative authority was
vested in the witenage-mOte, or assem-
bly, of wise men.-Dexter A. Hawkins.

EemorsefuI Ghost,

A pathetic story is told of the ghost
of Bisham abbey. 1t is said that the
wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was un-
naturally severe with her son, who. it
seems, had a peculiar aversion to writ
ing, and in his obstinacy would wilful-
ly blot his copybooks. One day his
mother, enraged at his perverseness,
lost her self-contrOl and beat the poor
boy so numerically that he died from
his Injuries. Since then one of the
bedrooms in the abbey has been haunt
ed by the specter Of the cruel woman,
who gldes through the chamber in the
act of washing the bloodstains from
her hands.
1t is, stated that some years ago.
when an old window shutter of the six
teenth century was removed, "a packet
Of antique copybooks of that period
was discovered pushed into the wall
between the joists of the skirting, and
several of these books, on which young
Hobby's name was written, were COW
cred with blots.'

Movie Theaters in Bio.

1t is at the cinema theaters that
the Cariocas (citizens of Rio de ia
neiro) know real comfort; for, un-
like our moving-picture houses,
those in Rio have spacious waiting
rooms, where you sit, listening to ex-
cellent music, until the hour for the
first reel comes round. The pioneer
house Of the kind inaugurated this
custom, and now the people refuse to
stand outside waiting for the !. even
hour to- arrive or to enter after the
film has3started. With SO much profit
able space taken from the auditorium,
the movies in Rio Janeiro are not as
great money-makers as with us. The
American favorites are popular, quite
outclassing Italian and Brazilian film
stars.-Harriet Chalmers Adams in Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.

LAID BIBLE SCENES IN CHINA
Native Artist Had>aNo Conception Of

Innorth FulSien province there dwelt
an artist who painted pictures on, silk

people in this secluded hamlet nestled
amid the hills, had never seen automO.
elles or airplanes, nor did they take
the long Journey to Shanghai to watch
the great steamers come in laden with
merchandise and messages from the
ports of the world. But they knew the
words of Confucius and Lao-tse and
they lived and died with simple dig
nifty AS their fathers had done before
them. One evening the artist, who
had been working all day on a me
mortal portrait, strolled out into the
dark, cool street to refresh his tired
soul, writes Elsie f. We'll in Asia Mag
azine. The tiny white. church of the
foreign god beyond the tea shop was
brilliantly lighted. The artist stood
moment in the open door. The young
missionary was talking most eloquent
iy; he was not preaching, but he
seemed to be telling stories that We're
as fascinating as those recited in the
bazaars. Almost in spite of himself
the artist sank unobtrusively into an
empty seat. For the first time he
heard Some of the beautiful old stories
Of the Bible, which have held the peo-
pie Of the West enthraTled for 1000
years. And the artist returned to his
home and made pictures of the story
Of Noah and the flood, and of the par
ables of the lost sheep and of the prod
igal son and of many others that were
in the book of the western missionary.
But he had never heard of the Pales-
tine. To him Noah was Chinese. and
the lost sheep belonged to a farmer of
his province and the prodigal son
might well have been dissolute youth
OF his own village.

|LL|TERACY IN US.
SEEN DISAPPEARING
Concerted Movement Is Now
One of Education's
Needs.

A concerted movement to reduce H.
literacy in the United States is one OF
the outstanding needs of education
according to statement issued by
John J. Tigert, federal commits
sioner of education. Statements out
lining the needs of education in
America will be issued from day to
day by the bureau of education as a
part of it's education week program.
1t was pointed out by Commissions er
Tigerh that illiteracy is slowly DIS
appearing in the United States. The
census of 1910. he said, Indicated that
there were 5.516.163 illiterates in the
country above ten years of age, while
the figures for 1920 show total of
4.931.905 illiterate above ten years of
age. -
Figures BASED ON Inquiry.
THE census figures are based upon
inquiry merely" said the statement
Persons who can write their names
or few words often consider them
selves literate. Authorities have long
thought that a test of ability to use
the language in a practical way
would reveal a much larger number
of. illiterates in this country. The
late Secretary of the Interior Lane
estimated that perhaps 90 per cent
of the citizenship is illiterate. A prac-
tical test administered to million
and a half soldiers in the war re-
vealed. to the amazemert of many.
that 25 per cent of them could make
no practical use of written English.
All thoughtful persons seem agreed
that this appalling situation is a
menace to the nations highest inter-
eStS.
Now Is Time to Fight.
Now is the time to fight illiteracy by
every available means. The fight can
be waged in two directions. First, by a
more rigid enforcement of our compul-
sorry school attendance laws. Less than
three fourths of our children of school
age are actually attending school. The
laws should be made more stringent in
some Instances. and all laws now on the
statute books should have rigid enforce
ment. This will cut off the crop of illit-
crates as they grow up.
"The second direction of effort in all
communities should be toward the erad-
lcation of adult illterates. who have
passed beyond school age. Many orga-
nizationS are cooperating in this work.
Chambers of commerce. women's
and mems clubs. industrial concerns
and various civic organizations can
unite in each community to find their
adult illiterates and interest them in
attending night schools and availing
themselves of all possible agencies
for learning.
Mrs Cora Wilson Stewart eradi-
Gated illiteracy in one of the most re-
mote counties of the mountains of
Kentucky by getting the adults to go
to night schools This has been done
in many places. Materials are now
available whereby adults can teach
themselves. The time is ripe for all
patriotic citizens to stimulate adult
ilIiterates in every possible way to
learn to read and write"

but hitch occurred WHEN Peret ap-
preached Poincare. At frst Poin-
care said that he would only accent
the position as Minister of Finance
with the understanding that he be
permitted to exercise some control
over the department Of foreign affairs.
Peret was somewhat taken aback hv
this unusual request, particularly as
man of Brands standing would
probably object to being interfered With
by Poincare ''''
Peret met second rebuff when h.
sought Viviani. Viviani SAID that. will.
ing as he might be to enter the Cabi-
net, he was not anxious to do so unless
Poincare also had portfolio.
Such was the position This ever;ro

hls chief would succeed in settling
their differences.
IT was necessary in order to form a

Unless Adequate Treatment Is
Given Soon Disorders Will
Become Permanent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Nearly 40
per cent of the discharged disabled vet
Grams of the World War are suffering
from some form of mental derangement.
according to estimates made on the
basis of Public Health Service reports
by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
La Porte. In commenting upon this
situation tonight he said government
hospital facilities for the treatment of
these men were "the scantiest."
Proper treatment must come quickly,
Mr.. La Porte said, or they will in many
cases become incurable. Every effort is
being made by the Treasury to meet the
situation, he added, but it is handicapped
by lack of facilities and the sarcity' of
doctors trained in treating mental dis
eases.
Patients Of all classes in the public
health service hospitals are increasing
Mr.. La Porte said, at the rate of 1000
month. On September 10, 1919, he
said, there were approximately $3.50
patients in the care Of the service, while
on January l, of this year the number
had increased to 22.292.

From Taking Possession

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Charees
that persons in authority in Mexico
are interested in fraudulent" legal
proceedings involving title to the Naica
mining property in that country were
made by Frank L. Polk, former Under
Secretary of State, in a memorandum
filed with the State Department today
In his capacity as counsel for Ameri
cen claimants to the property.
An Informal inquiry as to the status
OF this case was addressed to the Mex

ment this week through Charge sum
merlin. Mr.. Polk requested supplement
tary action by the department to nre-
vent seizure of the property by Mexi-
can federal troops, which, he said. were
on the way to the mines.
Inc memorandum asserts that the
principal hackers of the Mexican claim
ants to whom the property has been
awarded under decision of the Mexi-
can Supreme Court, the validity of

stocKhoiders, are Rogue Estrada
brother of the present Minister of

that the State Department make REPRE-
sentations to the Mexican governme mt
urging that stay of execution in the
case be obtained to permit them to de-
1end their interests in the action. in
which, up to this time, they have not
been represented.
Shortly before the Mexican court
rendered its decision, the MEMORANDUM
says, Ramos Praslow, brother-in-law
of Estrada. was appointed consulting
counsel to President Obregon. Amerie
cans own only 40 per cent of the capi-
tai stock of the Naica Company. for
which they paid $5e3,0oo cash, it is
asserted.
