Pound SO felicitously puts IL, and
only too readily easing him into

Freedomi II lies in the soul OF

It's discipline has, II anything. put
the victim on his mettle. How
much real spiritual sustenance there
is in coddling you may learn by

To coddle an author is TO reduce
him to the level Of Pehngese. II
Is on his just dues that he thriver,
the reward Of the sweat Of his brow,

dinous philosophy this, but one is
sometimes driven to platitudes by
the paradoxes Of the beGI- esp-its

francesca and Mino were not

got paid for It. II the pay hadn't

raised a nice, rumply Renaissance

A Poet Who Believed

It was the high, far things Of life
that Alice Meynell, the diStin-
guished English woman Of letters
who died last week. guarded with
the ardor Of a poet and the fidelity
of a saint. Yet there was never the
beginning of aloofness from life in
her speech or her philosophy. Her
mysticism held no withdrawal from
men and deeds, no trace Of aseetie
coldness. Mysticism has been termed
the religion Of failure, and 1t has
at times deserved the name. That
It need flow from no such cause and
need teach no such inaetion is one
message Of this lambent verse, quick
with life and touching all humanity.
Truth she saw indwelling in every
act and being; no cold and distant
star, but the immancnt and burn
ing spark Of life.
There is especial service that Mrs.
Meynell's words can do in times like
these. Through years Of wide
spread disbelief and romantic ex-
pertinent at this pole and that OF
art and thought she held her course
true. Not many humans have the
poise for such faith in religion or
taste In art. The world needs its
rebels, its adventurers, its roister-
ers, its years Of yeast and ferment.
But the elements of truth and
beauty are not changed by such tur-
MOL; the circle goes its course and
the world returns to It's own. There
can never be too many staneh
spirits to guard the faith through
these times and keep the fires burn
ing on the hilltops. Slender ss Is
the volume of verse that Mrs. Mey-
nell leaves behind her and delicate
as Is its art there is surely iirnior-
.tslity In It's spirit 80

whether or not MS tales are actually
founded upon fact, they bear its vsri-
simllituds. His plots lead up 70 no

absence Of carefully eontrived curtain

muted and dulled at least into the sem

you have the gratifying feeling that

Personally. We flnd our interest slack

MeFee TO exposing and analysing the
mental operations Of his characters.
We have a conviction. based upon moth
ing In particular. that one should come
to know person, In fiction b. the same
methods that sequaintanees are formed
in life-by action and appearances and
speech rather than by psyebo-analysis.

All Work and No Play

In thanking the committee on work
periods Of the Federated American
Engineering Societies for its report
on the twelve-hour day President
Harding wrote:
1T has seemed to me for a long
time that the twelve-hour day and
The type OF worker 1t produces have
outlived their usefulness and their
part in American life In the interest
OF American eitiIenship. Of good
business and economic stability. The
old order Of the trelye-hour day
must give way 70 a better and wiser
form Of organization Of the produe-
tive forces OF the nation, 90 that
proper family nfe and citizenship
msy be enjoyed suitably by all Of
our people"
proper family life and citizen
ship are as importsn: to the pros
perity Of the nation as production.
There is, indeed, no evidence that
production is increased b. a twelve
hour working day, which tends only
to dull minds and wear out bodies.
II is not to. be denied that the
shortening Of hours can be oyeTdone
or that there are men who can work
twelve hours a day for considerable
periods at a stretch without injuring
their health or powers; but enforced
employment Of half the twenty-four
hours, leaving only four hours for
meals and family and social life,
must generally produce bad effects.
Life was meant to be enjoyed. No
matter how much enjoyment there is
in an occupation there should be
more than four hours a day for the
pleasures that can come only from
rest and relaxation.
New-York tribune., 1922-12-03
France and Ratification

The latest reports from Psris
show that even II the 5-5-S naval
agreement is not ratified by the
French Chamber the four-power
treaty providing for the amiesble
settlement Of disputes In the Pacific
will be approved.
Opposition to this latter treaty in
France is not and never has been
great. The treaty Is Of little real
concern 10 the French. Their Pa
cilc possessions are scarcely affect
ed by Il, and their inclusion In the
pact was largely matter Of cour-
tesy. This treaty had as one Of It's
aims the termination Of the Anglo
Japanese agreement-an event Of
much greater Importance TO Amer
lea, the British Empire and Japan
than 10 France-which takes place
automatically when the signatories
Of the new pact ratify It. Until
that time the Anglo-JapaneSe agree
ment remains In force, unless de-
nounced by either Of the contracting
parties, as provided In the text Of
the agreement.
From Washington comes word
that even IL the French refuse TO
ratify this four-power treaty the
work Of the Washington conference
will not be permitted to go for moth
ing. Should the occasion require,
the treaties will be revised so as TO
exclude France. Her adherence 10
either Of the two main pacts Is not
a matter Of great practical moment.
Americans, Of course, would regret
to see her stay out, just as the
French regretted seeing Us fall to
ratify the Versailles Treaty. But
as the principal practical value Of
the naval limitations treaty as well
as the four-power pact Is in the
preservation Of the peace In the Pa
cihc, the help Of France Is Of no
especial value. Only If her unwill-
ingness TO ratify should cause Great
Britain 10 do the same would her
action seriously threaten the results
of the conference.
