MISGUIDED SUPERIORS
By DR.. Frank Crane

In one of Lothrop Stoddard's books be uses
the term misguided superiors These are
thew who are drawn into the championship OF
some dangerous or destructive cause and fur
nish an intellectual leadership for the MODS
nf ignorance, envy, or selfishness.
Lloyd George, in recent speech at HaVer-
fordwest the other day, made use OF a similar
expression: THAT band of theorists calling
themselves intellectuals and arrogating su-
periority to themselves
This constitutes probably the most danger
GUS class of any community
It is particularly noticeable in the United
States among those who, in the heat of their
resentment against puritanism, have under
taken to Use their POSITION as intellectual
leaders to encourage hostility to the Proh1b
ton Amendment to the Constitution
The right of any one to disapprove OF this
amendment and to agitate for it's repeal can
not be questioned. An amendment to the Con-
stitution can be removed from that docu-
ment as legally and in as orderly manner
as it was attached to it in the first place.
The mistake which these misguided superb
ors make, however, is their assumption that
as matter Of course. prohibition was brought
about by desire for meddlesome regulation,
and by the intolerance of purtanism.
This is not true Prohibition was brought
about because of the fact that the mind and
conscience of the American people had reach
hol is on the same level as the public sale of
opium. heroin, or other habitforming drugs
That this conclusion was not in accordance
with hundreds of years of tradition makes
no difference The three dominating factors
in reason were behind the decision
These three factors are Sciense, Business,
and Conscience
Science has demonstrated that while alco-
hol has it's place in medicine, it is unneces-
sary as food, is often dangerous to the in
dividual organism, and still often
threatens the peace the property, and the
lives Of other people, because of its peculiar
effects.
Business has demonstrated that 1t interferes
with the welfare of workers and is one of the
greatest enemies of efficiency. Its revenues
are fictitious, they are overba1anced many
times by the losses caused
Conscience is against it, because its constant
| and dependable effect is to destroy the moral
inhibitions and to render the user often
nuisance to himself and a danger to others.
No more lamentabe thing could happen in
this country than for the shops again to be
opened on the public streets for the sale of
beverages drugged with alcohol to every pass
er-by.
Those who consider themselves intellectuals
and are lending aid and comfort to the bbu-
lous hosts who, for profit or self-indulgence
wish to bring back the saloon, are, indeed
misguided superiors."

PARENT EXPLAINS WHAT TRANSPIRED IN WHITE
 WATER. 1919

Judge Lockwood has reluctantly CD published in three papers in this coun- ty what he calls the real facts in re- gard to the occurrence at the White water SchoOlhouse in December, 1919. He defends his action in giving publici ty to this affair that parties interested intended to send out letters through out the county toward the close of this campaign when it would be too late for him to reply. If his con science was clear he would not be alarmed by these groundless fears.
 We are but feeble folk and have not been able to build up political ma chine on salary during the past nine years and have access to the poll ing lists to enable us to reach the voters at the different precincts in the County nor have we stenogra- pher paid from Inc public funds to prepare and mall such letters nor the means to bear the necessary expense of stationery and postage. We can but tell our troubles to our friends in our own crude way and to such others as may be humane enough to listen to the troubles of those in whom they are not personally interested. ''Verily the wicked flee when no man pur- sueth." We would not even have thought of employing the columns of the public press had he not set us the example.
 Is his true and full statement of the facts either complete or entirely true? He states !hat he had the prop CT papers prepared and placed in the hands of a Deputy Sheriff for service to avoid all publicity to the children so far as possible. On whom did he serve them? Lawyers tell me that the Juvenile Law requires, in order that these hearings be legally held, that 'the judge holding said court make all necessary orders for compelling the production of such child and the at tendance of the parents"
 In this case the parents were not notified, and were not, therefore, able to be present although one mother was living within half mile of the schoolhouse and I am told that hel little girl begged to have her mother sent forIt is not stated that the papers were served ons the little girls that were in the school because they knew

 Railroad detectives, posing as Strik- CTS, obtained the first information con- cerning the alleged plot, According to the investigators, the wreck was first supposed to have taken place Tuesday but the arrest of the four men in connection with the Gary out rage postponed the execution of the plot. The men were being questioned today in an attempt to learn if others were connected with the conspiracy, and also to find the location of the dynamite which was to have been used. Wholesale arrests of terrorists were promised by the Chicago police and federal agents continued their ac- tivities in all parts of the central west.
 Despite the wide extent of the days outbreaks, and the heavy property loss, few injuries were reported. At Sedalia, Mo-, four railroad guards were beaten by thugs.
 The Wilmington bomb disabled a Pennsylvania railroad bridge and shat tered windows for blocks around but did not irreparably damage the bridge An attempt to blow up bridge near Cincinnati, Ohio was reported to have done little damage.

AL EMBRACED BY DEATH

ence of it says: On entering the church
in the dim twilight he noted mysteri-
GUS lights flashing from the gallery
while soft music was played. The
curtains which had hidden the gallery
were then drawn aside and the old
building, rich in carvings dating from
the Renaissance, was lit up by
a cold blue light. The music ceased
and then a tall, underlined ghOstly fig
ure playing a flute was seen. Up the
darkened nave a procession now ap-
peared, the players clad in medieval
dresses. Heading the procession were
the emperor and empress, the cardinal,
the aristocrat, the doctor, the usurer,
the nun, the peasant and the mother
with her child. The procession mount
ed to the gallery and then disappeared
In the dark. The death flute ceased

of position. Death then danced with
them, the dancers showing their terror

FAITHFUL TO ABSENT SPOUSE
Penelope's Beautiful Fidelity to Her
Warrior Husband Immertalized
In DeathIess Verse.

The classic example of wifely fidel-
ity is Penelope, beautiful Greek wife
OF Ulysses, conQueror Of Troy. For
20 years. while her husband was away
at the Trojan war, Penelope remained
faithful to him, In spite of frequent
reports of his death and the importuni-
ties of her many suitors. The story
of how Penelope outwitted these
scheming lovers has been handed down
to US by no less a chronicler than the
great Homer, who immortalized her
deeds in THE Odyssey"
Penelope, who was the daughter of
Icarius, also a famous Greek, was
sought in marriage by scores of the
eligible youths of her day. Unable to
choose among them herself she asked
her father to decide upon a son-in.
law. Icarius determined that the
tieetest of foot among the suitors
should win his daughters hand, and
Instituted foot race In which
Ulysses, the Ithacan, was victorious.
When Ulysses was called to the
siege OF Troy, it was 20 years before
he returned Before he settled down
to enjoy his long-deferred domestic
happiness, However, Homer tells us
he killed all the men who had basely
taken advantage of his absence.

BIRDS TONGUES VARY WIDELY
Feathered Creatures Apparently Pro-
vided by Nature With That Best
Suited to Its Species.

Some curious data have been gath
birds. 1t is pointed out that many
persons suppose that woodpeckers
use their sharp-pointed tongues as
darts with which TO transfix their prey.
1t Is true that the woodpecker, like
the humming bird, can dart out its
tongue with the greatest rapidfty, and
that it's mouth is furnished with an
elaborate mechanism for this purpose,
yet Investigation shows that the OBJ
ject Of their swift motion is only to
catch the prey, not to pierce it. For
the purpose of holding the captured
victim, the wOodpecker's tongue is
furnished with sticky secretion.
Inasmuch as 1t possesses the power
Of initiating speech, it is not surpris-
ing to learn that the parrots tongue
resembles that of man more closely
than any other birds tongue. 1t is
not because the parrot is more intellf-
gent than many other birds, but be-
cause it's tongue is better suited for
articulation than theirs that it is able
to amuse us with its mimicry.
In some respects the humming birds
tongue is the most remarkable of all.
1t is double nearly from end to end,
so that the little creature is able to
grasp its insect prey very much as If
its mouth were furnished with a pair
of fingers.

One osprey's nest was built upon a
pile of old fence rails, only seven
or eight feet from the ground. It had
been added to annually until its bulk

Ruined by Best Work.

"The Night Watch" the best paint
ing of the famous artist Rembrandt
was the cause of his ruin, says the
Mentor magazine.
Popular, rich, and married to q
beautiful woman whom he loved de-
votedly, he was at the tide of his for
tunes when Capt. Franz Banning
Cock and his company of wealthy
young guardsmen commissioned him
to paint them.
He put the captain and his lieuten-
ant in the foreground The other
members were mere incidental fig
ures. Because of this they refused
to pay their pro rata and withdrew
their patronage.
From that time Rembrandt's mis-
fortunes grew. He was disconsolate
through the death of his wife anG
children. His house was sold fol
debt. At sixty-two he died, leaving
barely enough money for his funera
expenses.
