The Other Side of the Question
By Grantland Rice

France, and who from the Marine moved
forward until halted by the wooden
cross where he gave his life for his
friends
This blot of dust means more to the
nation at large than any thought of
military destiny. Under the guardian
ship of the great arch it has become
nations shrine. For many
hours we have watched the heart of
the nation gather here. For here is
the one spot from all the myriad places
of the earth where you can judge a
people. 1t is something more than the
INSTALLATION of a million men who died
for their country. For this speaks of
grandeur. And there is no grandeur
as an old man stops, bares his bowed
head and utters q silent prayer, OF
as some young girl from the far-away
provinces, tenderly nursing and guard
ing an armful of fading flowers, places
her offering upon the cenotaph and
silently makes her way beyond the
crowds.
There is no weekday movement that
finds the cenotaph deserted. And on
Sunday the queues form in two long
lines, where before the sun has hardly
more than begun its march across the
sky the bank of flowers sends its
fragrance far down the avenue upon
the drift OF spring wind.
Tina ,annu liuc hearers af binesonre G
or Of prayer, it seems as if the nation
had selected this one day to show that
country had not forgotten the su-
preme sacrifice of its fallen sons. And
there is no set organized tribute in this
silent march that pauses for its mo-
ment of revefent remembrance.
There is no organized or unorganized
propaganda pleading against forget
fulness, no societies to see that fresh

A Lirnpi11g Leader

Hiram Johnson's great strength
in California was due to public be-
lief in his progressiveness and ma
tionalism. He was candidate with
Colonel Roosevelt on the Progress
sive ticket in 1912 and was elected
Senator in 1915 by big plurality
when California voted for Wilson
and Marshall. His candidacy for
the Republican Presidential nonli-
nation in 1920 also made an appeal
to many former Progressives.
His recent record in the Senate
has, however, pretty thoroughly de-
stroyed the illusion that he is capa-
bic of genuine national leadership.
He has associated himself with
Messrs. La Toilette, Borah and
France in fight to defeat the four
power Pacific treaty and to wreck
the work of the Washington confer
ence. No one question Mr.. Borah's
great ability. But he is by nature a
dissenter and free lance. He comes
from very small state, is for that
reason practically ineligible to run
for President and is at liberty to
pursue his own vagaries in politics
But Mr.. Johnson represents a state
which is politically sensitive and
ambitious. 1t is rapidly forging to
the front and demands of its spokes-
men that they shall help to in
crease its prestige and to keep it in
touch with national sentiment and
progress.
On the four-power treaty issue
Mr.. Johnson has not done this. His
point of view has been parochial and
obstructive. He has lent himself to
q conspiracy Of malice aud ven
geance, which seeks to reject the
treaty not because of any dement's,
but solely as q measure of partisan
retaliation. The country generally
doesn't like this. Neither do Cali
fornians. They are turning away
from Mr. Johnson and many CT them
are urging Mr.. Hoover to be candi-
date in the coming Senatorial pri-
mary. MIR. Hoover is national-mind-
ed. California, undoubtedly, is also
national-minded 1t has good rea-
E
the Senate which links one of its
votes with those of Repubica2
irreconcilables like Borah, La Fol
lette and France, and also with
those of the "die-hard'' Wilson fol.
lowers who do not oppose the four
power treaty sin principle" but
simply seek to satisfy a personal
and factional grudge.

More Truth Than Poetry

Bulgarian Battle Song

IA Bul0arian tnsurrcction has RESULTED
iron, an order BY the government striking
q single letter from the aIphcbet.l
Rise against tyranny, valiant Bull
garians!
Rise and the brutal oppressor
defy!
Are we illiterates? Are we bar
barians?
Stand by your alphabet! Save
it or die!
Fight for the letters the spelling
book taught to us,
Let not a one be erased from
the list!
Strike for the culture that history
brought to us
Valiant Bulgarians, rise and
resist!
Who are these highbrows whose
fiat would dominate
The methods we use when we
spell our own names?
Teach them how strongly their
laws we abominate;
Make them rec de f. ON their
oAiOE dhC Nl0lillS.
Tear down the school houses,
shoot up the colleges;
Show how a Bulgar behaves
when he's mad.
Scorn explanations; accept no
apologies;
Fight for the spelling we al
ways have had!
Too long has peace, with unhamp-
cred impunity,
Stifed our natural craving to
fight.
Snatch at this great, Heaven-sent
opportunity,
Hail it with shoutings of fran
tic delight.
Let US to arms with accustomed
agility.
Never shall Bulgar be craven or
slave,
Never bear insult with caitiff
humility,
Long may our glorious alpha
bet wave.
Hold to our ancient and tried
lexlcography;
Silence the voice of the dull
doctrinaire;
Toss in his teeth his newfangled
photography,
Let him implant it on us If he
dare!
Rlse against tyranny, noble Bull
garians!
Here is our chance, let us put
it to use!
In war it is we'll to be utilitarians:
We mast fight for something.
and here's our excuse!

some OF the various powers that are
agitating for the breakup Of the
British Empire.
Johannesburg, in the center Of the
movement, has long been the gather
ing place for discontented elements.
Trouble has frequently threatened
there, and the neighborhood has
consequently been particularly
favorable field for the activities of
syndicalists and other Red agitators.
That they should hope to achieve
success, however, is almost incom-
prehensible, in view of the social
and economic conditions prevailing
throughout the Union of South
Africa. 1t is as hard to conceive of
Bolshevism triumphant in South
Africa as triumphant in the United
States.
The loyal cooperation given to
the Union troops and the prompt as
sistance rendered to General Smuts
show that the Union has been
frightened since its formation and
that attempts to incite rebellion
merely serve to solidify the senti-
ment for the central government.
To Smuts goes the credit for
skillful leadership. BY his fear
lessness he has rendered service
to his own country and to the
British Empire.

honest trading and help crooked
politicians who might seek to use
the supervising powers for selfish
purposes would, of course, accom-
plish nothing. That a commission
with powers somewhat like those Of
the State Superintendent of Bank
ing might be necessary in order to
cover eases outside the jurisdiction
of the exchange is not inconceivable
Honestly operated it should cause
no qualms to honest dealers. The
crooked, however, should find il
hard to escape, and they, after all
are the offenders against whom all
such Legislation is directed.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It seems impossible to get news
papers to give any heed to the subject
of the prevailing practice that has been
going on for long time of paying
fabulous prizes to the winner OF a
prizefght.
Think what hundred thousand dol
lars or more handed over to prize
fighter involves. 1t turns away from
useful and productive trade young men
who would be credit to themselves
to make fortune in few successful
fights.
The bruised faces, broken noses, cauli-
flower ears and. ruined constitutions
are the penalties of this moRstrous
prizefighting evil. B. V. JONES.

What Readers Are Thinking

public opinion because they consider
themselves right. Do the papers sup
port them? Not so that you can notice
it. The papers are playing politics and
toadying to public opinion, heaping
ridicule on the heads Of the seven
councilmen, and your own paper has
front page article making fun of the
situation.
Pray, what inducement is there for
a man to buck the game when all he
gets is ridicule for his efforts?

One thinks of France to-day
as forest of fixed bayonets, fanked
by seventy-fves and machine guns,
ready to march forward again to fur
ther conquests. This is still part of
France. But nation is not always
to be Judged by it's rulers.
Spring has come back again with the
war four years away. And to find the
truer answer to it all you might for a
moment wander up the broad avenue
of the Champs -Elysees where the Arc
de Triomphe stands outlined against
the ever changing tints of the Partisan
sky--a sky at times rose colored with
streaks OF lavender or, at late twilight,
a darker purple as the first lights of
Paris are sending out their flares.
Here you will find the journeys end
of nations reverent tread-the old
men of France, broken veterans of
earlier wars, and the youngest of her
children, the highest and the lowest
at spot where poets and drcamers
stand by those who labor with gnarled
hands and bending backs.
Upon their faces there is no look
of hate or vengeance. And it is not
the triumphant arch which Napoleon
placed upon the hilltop in the far
stretches Of tho Place de l'Etoile that
beckons so increasingly to the unend-
ing lines.
There is something in It's shadow
that Is even greater in its glory than
Napoleon's triumphant mold. And this
something is the little slab Of stone

Flippers and the PHILOSOPHER

Is there none SO poor to do him
honor-the male fapper? Is he out
tapped by the female Of the species Z?
A thousand times NO!
| His felt hat Is worn over the eve
just as saucily and its brim curls Just
as gracefully. But it's crown is tor
tured into weird and wondrous shapes
to express his individuality. Excessive
use of brilliantine and his umbrella
less defiance of storms have caused his
hatband to blossom forth with fam
tastic landscapes.
J Countless sheep mourn in awful
nakedness for the vanity of his enor-
nous muller. A huge and shape
less vercoat-usually unbuttoned-
glimpse of tennis shirt and striped
tie, woolen socks in heavy brogues ard
the picture is complete.
His plastic face struggles manfully
to retain the cynical, cold expression
with which he regards this old-fash-
toned world. A limp cigarette adds nom
chalancc to the general effect. His
tender palate, which aches for sooth-
ing ice cream sodas and Eskimo pics, is
irritated with surreptitious drafts of
alcohol.
AT dances he carries a silver flask
of enormous proportions. He dances
cheek to cheek. Flippers venture
where angels fear to tread.
Flipper is soul-satisfying name for
him-fip and annoying, but harmless.
He is beyond the sphere of human in
fiuence. Physically, he is too old to
be slapped; mentally, he is not old
'enough.
Only the healing hand Of time can
change him. Otherwise, | would ad-
vocate the immediate establishment of
community guiilotines where, busy with
my knitting, l could sit and listen to
the hollow thud of his head bouncing
into the basket. LOU.

CAVE MEN ASTRONOMERS.

Professor Bigourdan recently made
an interesting report to the French
Academy Of Sciences concerning GER
tain prehistoric drawings made by
cave-dwellers which evidently por-
trayed the Pleiades. The singular
thing about these drawings is that
they all exhibit groups Of 10 stars,
whereas modern observers of the skies
are able to- perceive with the naked
eye only seven stars Of this group. The
10 stars which form the group are Wis
ible today only by means OF a tele-
scope or from the top Of high noun
tain. This raises the very pretty ques-
ton as to whether the cave men were
already so skilled in astronomy as to
know that more stars were visible
| from the summit of a mountain than
| from the plains. II they did not pos
sess this knowledge we can only sup
pose either that primitive man was
gifted with much sharper eyes than
his present descendants. or else that
the brightness of the Pleiades has be-
come much minished.-Literary
