Last Sabbath morning Mr.. E. P.
Arpin, second son of the Hon. John
Arpin, one of Grand Rapids most
esteemed lumbermen, arrived home
with his bride from Clarinda, Iowa.
Cards were received in this city the
past week announcing their marriage
which occurred at the above named
olace January 1st, 1889, at the resi-
lence of the brides parents The local
paper of that city contained the fol-
lowing notice:
Married, Tuesday evening, January
I, 1889, when a few invited friends
and relatives gathered at the pleasant
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A Nienstert,
in South Clarinda to witness the mar
riage of their accomplished daughter,
Miss Bertha. to Mr.. E. P. Arpin, of
Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, at o'clock,
Rev. DR.. E. F. Strickland, Of Des
Moines solemnly and impressively ut
tered the words that forever bound
together these two fond hearts in the
union of welded bliss. The bride
tho elegantly and modestly attired,
presented the picture Of beauty and
loveliness, but these outward adorn-
ments were naught to her many
friends who understand her pure and
noble heart, and know her to be wor-
thy of all the kind wishes that may be
bestowed upor her; while the groom,
though stranger to Clarinda people
looked perfect specimen of noble
manhood as he stood straight in form
and heartily responded Il will. "
After congratulations the company
participated III a bountiful supper
prepared for the occasion. Mr.. Arpin,
is a young man of fine address, good
business qualifications, and possesses
| large and renumerative lumber inter
| ests in Wisconsin, and the Democrat
congratulates him on securing SO
| worthy a helpmeet as Miss Bertha
! Nienstedt who has ever been one of
Clarinda's most accomplished and win
| some young ladies, and will surely
prove wife of sterlings devotion to
| her welded husband. The happy
couple took the eight o'clock train that
evening for Chicago where they will
remain a few days, and after short
visit to Milwaukee will leave for THEN
future home at Grand Rapids, Wis
May prosperity crown their pathway

This book is no dry, technical essay
crammed with dull statistics Much
space is given to the human side of

The Easter Mob

OF course there was no cold
time Easter parade" on Fifth Ave
nue.. There has not been one for
a generation. There could not be
in the packed, heterogeneous New
York of 1921. The Easter parade
is just one of the many delightful
small town shows that our huge,
whirling mob Of a city has made an
impossibility.
Let us not forget, however, that
there is way to get back these old
neighborhood performances, even
in a city as vast as New York. That
way is to break up the unitary
character of the place and organize
its millions around a large num-
ber of small, we'll scattered civic
centcrs. New York has grown to
a size which makes it impossible to
put it's population on one street
yet it remains a one-street town.
Fifth Avenue is for all the world
a Main Street. We are maintain
ing the social and business organi-
cations of town Of 5000 in city
'of many millions. Of course, it
falls all over itself and ends in mob
confusion.
T The way out lies in the develop
ment Of dwelling areas like Green
wich Village. The zoning law
has fostered a. rise of a number
of these districts. If we stand
faithfully by the restrictions of this
law we may expect such districts to
multiply and grow in size steadily.
The local movie house is strong
aid in the development of these
neighborhoods. Shops spring up
quickly. The village is reproduced
in miniature as fast as the needs
arise. A system of boulevards such
as Paris possesses would undoubted-
ly strengthen this development of
neighborhood spirit; for simple, dl-
rect communication between villages
is essential to this diffusion of
population and activity.
Fifth Avenue must always re-
main the great shopping street of
the city, just as Broadway and it's
neighboring blocks in the forties
and ffties seem likely to constitute
the amusement center. But the
development Of neighborhood CEN
ters, each possessing it's own movie
house, theater, speciality shops,
boulevard and park, would divert
much needless traffic from these
great streets and leave them su-
preme for their true service.

The Horror ON the Alcovy

The Alcovy is less stoyied river
than tho Rhine, but on it there is a
real, not fake, korror--one in
which negroes, 80 far from being
the aggressors, are victims.
The chained and weighted bodies
that have been dragged from the
Alcovy and neighboring Georgia
waters are those Of colored men who
were "peons"--that is, practically
slaves. When they became "bigoty'
or wanted to leave, their master, an
other Legree, had only to say to his
executioner, "Clydc, I'm scared of
that negro" and another peon was
butchered and tossed into the AL
covy.
Though no threats Of a lynchine
party are reported from Jaspa1
County, there are signs Of action on
the part of the states Attorney Gen.
eral. The murders will, perhaps
from their very encrmity be of as.
sistance to the Department OF
Justice in its task of freeing
Georgia and other states Of the
peonage curse.
Some Of the disabilities under
which negroes labor cannot be re-
moved by any national means, but
slavery under another name can be
stamped out. The law-abiding citi
zens of the South will surely assist
the government to the limit in that
task. Here is something vital tc
Americas good name for Mr.
Daugherty to accomplish. Here is
his chance to prove that President
Harding is a good judge Of men.

Living Fathers of Presidents


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: An interview with DR.. George
Tryon Harding, father of the Presi.
dent, in McClure's Magazine for March
contains the following passage:
Warren has won the greatest honor
his country has to give" DR.. Harding
began, "and have won something, too
for my position is absolutely unique
There have been twenty-eight Presi-
dents of the United States, Warren
will be the twenty ninth, but no man
except me ever lived TO SEQ HIS son
elected to the Presidency"
The doctor has certainly won great
honor in rearing son to be elected
President, but he is mistaken in assert
ing that his position is absolutely
unique"
de has forgotten his history. John
Adams, second President, who died In
1925, lived to see his son, John Quincy
Adams, sixth President, inauguratcd
in 1925.
jesse Grant lived to see his son,
Ulysses S. Grant, eighteenth President
inaugurated in 1869 and Jesse. the
father also received commission
from the son as postmaster somewhere
in kentucky.

Pennies VS.. Skyscrapers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer Of the editorial
Archaeology IN 25oO0 A. d." who
speaks Of our skyscrapcrs as the monu-
ments of our civilization most likely to
survive, sc ,ms to have forgotten that
the little metal disks we all carry in
our pockets, called coins, are, by reason
of their great number and comparative
indestructibility, far moro likely to
preserve our memory than any other
material relics we may leave behind us.
Any one familiar with the immense
number still in cxistenco o' tho coins
Of such rulers as Alexa usg o. .lacrdon
and of the Emperor Constantine, or
with the many rulers and cities whose
names are known from coins alone,
must regard the Lincoln penny as more
indestructible than almost anything
but thoughts, which live in mems
fearts. Time is no great respecter of
size, and the secret of the giant pyra-
mids was discovered through the find
ing Of the relatively small Rosetta
stone, but had any ruler of Egypt is
sued bilingual coins the hieroglyphics
would have been read some hundreds of
years ago.
But let us have good government and
respect for God and authority, and our
cililization, living we'll, will have no
more need for monument than for
tomb.

c.. K. G. and Christian Science
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Chesterton's address of
Sunday evening, as reported In TO-
days Tribune, included at least one
correct statement regarding Christian
Science-namely that at is an extreme
reaction against materialism"; for
Christian Science is pure idealism,
which conceives of God and His crea-
tion. including man, as spiritual, per-
feet and eternal.
The lecturer, however, does not rea-
son so conclusively when he character
ICES as fad religion which, in the
half century Of its history, has de-
veloped into a worldwide movem ent
with host of followers, benefciaries
transformed through its healing min
istry into happy and useful citizens.
To classify Christian Science with
"spiritualsm, psycho-analysis and
kindred cults" is to group teachings
wholly unlike, spiritual truth with nj
terial belief; but then, perhaps, in do
ing this the lecturer followed his &C.
customed method of paradoxical state
ment. AT any rate, it is safe to say
a considerable number of your readers
believe that Mr.. Chesterton could find
better use for his great talents than to
speak disrespectfully of religious be-
liefs honestly held by considerable
body Of our citizens, however much he
may disagree with these teachings.

The Sullivan Law
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Archibald C. Foss's letter on
the Sullivan law ought to be thorough
ly digested by your readers.
This paragraph holds my attention
"There must be some interesting story
behind this Sullivan law. Why was it
desired that citizens Of New York
should not be allowed to possess arms !?
Is this law constitutional.
The following questions would like
answered.:
l. What district did Mr.. Sullivan rep
resent?
2. Who worded the bill7
3. Did Mr. Sullivan tffer TO sponsor
the bill or was no asked to sponsor It
or was 1t his own bilI7
4. Who were the men back Of 1t and
who urged its passage?
5. Who voted "for"7 Who voted
against?
8. Who was Governor OF New York
State at the time? WOMAN,

mended which may sell it's debentures
to other financial institutions. Final
ly, an exemption from the income tax
of interest on loans up to $4,000
when the security is dwelling house
and the loan is made by an indi-
vidual.
Such legislation could not at once
make houses plentiful or bring down
rents, but it would help. 1t has
the merit Of avoiding government
construction, which would, of course,
prevent private construction; and
there is no subsidy except in tax
remission.

recent plebiscite IN Silesia it was

recent plebiscite IN Silcsia it was
necessary to close all the music
halls. From Hungary comes the re-
port that the Minister for Home
Affairs is advocating nationwide
teaching Of the old Magyar folk
dances. The Dutch delegates to the
dancing convention demand return
to good old Holland clogging. The
Scotch are booming reels, and the
English are talking of barn dances.
Ireland alone is not officially repre-
sented, but three distinct delegations
have appeared demanding a hearing
in the name Of the Irish Republic.
In their efforts to seek compro-
mise several delegates have pleaded
passionately for the waltz. The
proposer Of this movement made it
clear at the outset that the term
waltz" referred to the old-fashioned
standard waltz. "There must be one
dance common to all nations, and
that is the waltz" said the delegate
from Switzerland, apparently con-
cerned with the dances at the winter
resorts in his country. "The waltz
is the international dance of the
FUTURE" he affirmed.
There is no news yet as to what
Messrs. Lenine and Trotzky will do
to thwart this new and sinister at
tempt Of capitalistic reaction to
divert the proletar;at from the class
war by making particular forms of
dancing patriotic.

"They Shall Not Shinnmy!"

The first International Dancing
Convention since the armistice is
now sitting-or waltzing-in Paris.
Whether or not its gyrations come
under the supervision of the League
Of Nations remains t. be confirmed,
The delegates, 50 the report says,
express strong resentment against
American interference in European
terpsichorean affairs. The chairman
recalled the famous words of Wash
ington's Farewell Address-."Ag gainst
the insidious wilcs of foreign in
fuence, | conjure you, my fellow
countrymen, the Jealousy of free
people ought to be constantly
awake" He advocated ban on all
dances of American origin. The fox
trot and one-step must 90, he de-
clared, and when no reached his
climax-"They shall. not shimmy!"
the convention aprlauded for five
deafening minutes. On the con-
clusion Of his address the band
broke into the strains Of "Waltz Me
Around Again, Wily!"
Americans might have cause to
feel irritated if this movement were
not merely another reflection of the
general recrudescence Of national
ism that has followed the war. In
fact, the dance is 60 expressive Of
national feeling that during tho

The Bigots of Radicalism

1t is, of course, necessary to ex-
tract the truth from Russia as fast
as it can be got and to debate it in
all its implications for its moral to
the world. But why discuss it in
the presence of such hide-bound
bigots as attended the Carnegie
Hall meeting and Missed Rabbi
Silverman and every one else> who
made statements not to their lik-
ing? Why waste time and breath
and ink and paper on these blindest
who do not see because they will
not?
The Tribune, as a progressive
paper throughout it's long life, has
had occasion to fight the bigots of
conservatism upon many an oc-
casion, and what is sometimes for
gotten is that equal bigotry stands
at the opposite end of the scale.
Your extreme radical is fully as
bigoted as your tra-c6nservative,
as blind to facts, as full of pre-
possessions, and as hard set against
change or recognition of error.
The only scheme Of things he will
consider is his scheme Of things.
The only facts he will concede are
his own approved reports presenting
as the truth just what he wants to
believe and must believe if his
scheme of the universe is to sue
ceed.
What is happening in Russia has
been increasingly plain for many
months. One after another of the
witnesses for the Bolsheviki turned
states evidence and told of the de-
cay and Generalization which COM
munism had produced. Finally came
the news of the abandonment of
communism by Lenine. These
facts are as incontrovertible, from
rational point of view, as were
the defeats of Denikine and Kol-
chak. But does the radical of
America believe these hostile facts?
Not by the width of all Russia. He
will hardly listen long enough to
hear everybody state the truth. He

Bolshevism. And by reading moth
