The News of the Day

Although it's q delicate subject,
perhaps there should be a word of
reply to the good people who are ask
ing pointedly why the newspapers
are printing so much divorce news
On their front pages.
Because it is nesvs-that's all. Con-
denim it as one may, most persons
read it with zest, though they don't
brag about it, and are willing to
keep it from othels.
If Aristophanes, Shakespeare, Ger
vantes, Moliere We're reporters for
New York newspapers these star
Ting blazes of life's ftful fever
would probably ioe the very stories
they would pick for their assign
naents. Laurence Sterne or Nathan.
iel Hawthorne would be Of little use
as Albany correspondents, bat how
they would 'scover" the Stillman
case.
Do not suppose that only the
American press publishes great
scandals. The English newspapers,
including the "Thnnderer" itself, set
forth outstanding divorce trials to
the last syllable of the court pro-
ceedings. True, the news is buried
in inside pages, after the English
journalistic habit of secreting the
most bruited topics Of the day, but
the whole unlovely tale is told. It's
a human habit the censorious read
ers have to quarrel with, not the
newspapers.

A Day of Rejo;cinx

The scoffers, the all-wise and the
lazy-of heart ignore religion now
adays to the best Of their ability.
You can learn from any number of
wise folk that religion is dead--ex-
actly as patriotism was dead before
the war. But even these people Of
little faith are apt To turn to religion
IN the great moments Of their lives.
when birth or marriage or death up-
sets their little plan Of things. And
almost all Of as acknowledge our kin
ship with religious thought at the
great festivals Of the year when the
instincts Of centuries surge to the
fore. Whatever our superficial
neglect Of churchgoing and creeds.
our whole civilization is inextricably
woven of religious faith and we can
no more put 1t out Of our lives utter
Is than we can Forget our mother
tongue.
VI such moments Of religious re-
newal is Easter. Here is festival
based on pagan origins and answer
ing to the most fundamental needs
OF human nature. 1t comes at a sea-
son OF new birth in the world about
us. To orthodox and unorthodox
alike it is rich with. splendid and
deeply moving associations. The
central day Of the Christian year, it
is not less pregnant with hope and
rejoicing for all who believe that
ours is universe wherein death is
but another form Of birth and that
no stroke Of good or evil, of help or
hindrance to the progress Of the
world, is lost.
There is no more gorgeous music
than the Easter music of the Chris
tian Church. To j',in in it is truly to
renew our, strength. To share in this
festival of festivals is to unite our
selves once more with the highest
and noblest passions Of that. great
civilization OF which we are the tenn
porary vessels.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: What is the matter with the de-
parting liquor traffic. 1t seems to oc-
eupy the position Of founding. No
one these days wants to claim IT, The
recent Palmer ruling about prescrip-
tions for beer has brought this to light.
When It is suggested that druggists
will henceforth be the dispensers and
That beer may yet be sold at soda foun-
tains, Druggists here and there dis
claim any desire for this. When it is
suggested that the responsibility be
placed upon the doctors, not q few phy-
sicians protest in the name OF their
profession. Both druggists and physi-
caaTs probably viii ultimately resolve
~ their conventions that this founding
be taken from their doorstep and cared

Justice for the Wounded

There is only one way to prevent
q republic from being ungratcful to
its wounded soldiers. and that is for
its citizens to stand up ever 50 often
and insist upon justice--in plain talk
that no politician can misunderstood.
On the night of April 4 at Car
negie Hall there will be held a great
mass meeting 70 obtain justice for
the wounded We hope that our
readers will note the occasion and at
tend. A distinguished list of speak
ers is certain. But they are the
least Important part Of the demon
stration. Enough citizens should
turn out to make it clear that this
community is grieved and wratllful
at the incompetence exhibited in
trifiing with this precious obligation.
The new Administration is pledged
to a new policy. Congress must
pass necessary laws promptly. Mean
While and thereafter the public must
speak up and demand and threaten.
T. was in lighting for all of US that
these soldiers were wounded, and we
are q sorry nation, not worth any
bcdy's sacrifice, if we do not see that
they are generously and synlpa-
thetically cared for.
The number of men needing
care will increase for some years.
owing to tubercular cases developing
ir the wake of gas poisoning and
nervous. disabilities resulting from
shell shock. We shall need a long
memory and an enduring sense of
gratitude to prevent bureaucratic in
efficiency and small politics from de-
teating our good intentions. Begin
your fight for the wounded soldier by
attending mass meeting in his be-
hslf and joining your voice to the
call for Justice.

Archaeology in $4,000 A. D.

That amazing list of apparatus
and gewgaws which Mr. H. G.
Wells suggested should be entombed
IN cornerstone for the information
OF future races thousands of years
hence was plainly born of his wrest-
ling match with the facts of preh;s-
toric and historic man preparatory
to dashing off his history of the
world, Having just read Mr.. Wells's
tale Of the Grizzly Folk and their
combat. with our ancestors many
thousands of years 3. c., one might
question whether such elaborate re-
mains are at all necessary; for this
vivid narrative is constructed out of
just one skull, the Neandertlal one.
and not by any means Complete
skull at that. Perhaps a sufficient
answer is that many centuries of
mental growth and many years of
research by the arch@ologists were
needed to bring us to our present
state of knowledge of the past, and
after the next barbarians or the
next Ice Age overruns the earth
goodness knows how far back to-
ward darkness the human survivors
may be flung. 1t took something
around 10000 years (after the last
descent of the ice) for civilization TO
produce Mr.. Wells and the Outline
of History, for instance.
The chief source of doubt as to the
value of these deposited articles is,
as Mr. Wells notes, the small likeli-
hood Of their enduring. Our won
derful age of machinery has moth
ing like the certainty Of withstand
ing the centuries which the Egyp-
tian or even the Greek civilization
had. Monuments like the Pyramids
can Withstand any attack Of time or
weather. The Acropolis endured in
essentials. Monumental buildings,
even if toppled over and covered by
new city, can be dug up and re-
constructed SO as to yield a clear
IDEA Of their appearances The IA
nous excavations at Troy, for ex-
ample, revealed nine cities, one
under the other, covering period
Of about $500 years, from the late
Stone Age. Around 5000 B. c., to the
Romans. The sixth city was that
Of the Trojan War.
Given such monumental struc-
lures, enough sculpture and bass-re-
liefs and inscriptions are likely to
endure to enable succeeding civiliza-
tions to reconstruct fairly accurate
picture of the past How, much of
American civilization would endure
under similar conditions? The mod
ern skyscraper is a steel frame COW
cred with thin wall. One good
prod of glacier would wipe it out
Of existence as a building. leaving
only the steel skeleton to endure.
Who knows but that thousands of
years hence these skeletons, pre-
served by some chance of favoring
development, will be reconstructed
into their true form, precisely as we
reproduce dinosaurs and mastodons
to-day!
We suspect that these huge steel
skeletons--of cur buildings and
bridges and ships and locomotives
are the best hope Of preserving some
hint of our civilization beyond a.
catzclysin. Our stone monuments
are neither numerous nor signif-
cant. We write our laws not on
stone, as did the Egyptians, but on
wood pulp paper, almost certain to
.crun,ble with the passage Of CEN
turtles. Such things Is Mr. Wells

I In Ireland q dreadful state of things
exists at the present time. The Eng
lishman in America finds to his amaze
nent that there is an indication,
even III quarters which deny special
Irish sympathy, that the "reprisals"
are, SO to speak, brutal provocative,
an lnltiatory movement on the part of
the British. There is, it is true, here
and there reference to the violence
which preceded the s'reprisals," but gem
orally speaking the "Black and Tans"
are presented as a murderous gang
carrying out either for themselves or
for their government a murderous
policy. There is complete ayoidaa1ce of
what may call the Silent Year. year
in which there were repeated murders,
repeated assassinations of a cowardly
nature--however much they may be
disguised UNDER the name of justice or
rebellion-hut at any rate repeated
killings of defenseless men. old and
young. under circumstances that right
ly or wrongfully we've regarded by the
English as constituting the summit of
human wickedness,
Good viii for ireland
There has been forgetfulness that
during this period men for doing
their duty were being wantonly killed.
Many Americans only know about the
so-called subsequent "reprisals." The
British are I2H-abiding, patient peo-
pie, sometimes to their own hurt. The
"reprisals," of course indefensible and
utterly abhorrent, have come along as
the result of sporadic outbursts from
men probably used to war, who have.
been roused to desperate passion by the
murder OF their comrades 1t is
mixed and tragic business. But the
Enslishman may be forgiven his bitter
smile as he sees the big type about
"reprisals" and reads some of the lead-
ing articles.
Another thing that strikes hirn on
ZIG tLAsu uuSStsoF is the apparent lack
of understanding that so per cent of The
people in England. Males and Scotland
ardently wish Ireland to have self-gov-
ernment in any farm that lresand
wishes short of athes removal of the
British flag. Fhere is an implied as
sumption that the grievances between
the North snd South of ireland are Just
an English excuse for inaction. Moth
ing would be further from the truth.
The divisions in Ireland itself are the
sole cause. at any rate in the present
crisis, of the non-cxistence IT an Irish
Parliament.
1t is recognized with some regret
that good deal Of this propaganda
is spread by politicians in Britain who
are against the government, and in
Britain as in America there are always
politicians against the government
ready to do anything TO discredit it.
They rarely come forward with con-
structiye policy; their job is to dam
age and destroy, not TO build up. Thus
is provided rich propaganda for the
Irish extremists here. But the average
Englishman expects the average Amer
lean to diseount political utterancss
