From somewhere near the North
pole comes report Vt the Introduction
OF jazz TO the Eskimos, and love at
first sight, or rather at first sound. This
marks the latest sweep of the jazz
conquest, and makes it practically
unanimous. Emerging from tropic jun
giles to the beating of tom-tom and
eroak and squeak of crude pipe and
horn, it's strains have reached north
ward and southwark, conquering the
peoples in its path-that is, those large
elements of them whose toes and heels
react with the ear drum. And now its
triumphant notes are waking the
echoes in the land of perpetual snow,
to the vociferous applause of the Eski-
mos.

THE SAVAGE STATE

II Is curious that men should SO
often look on the near past with con-
tempt while-as is often the case
clarifying the remote past, and even
seeing in 1t the golden age Of the
world. Certain of our writers have
gone so far as to argue that man was
at bis best and in his happiest state
when a savage. They despise a world
that, if not wholly good, has much
good in it, and create-in their imag-
ination-0ne that never existed In
which all their social theories are
true and In unimpeded operation
There could be no better proof Of the
dazzling effect of distance on the view.
1t is a pleasant pastime, that Of gid
ing conditions that would have been
intolerable to the modern man had
he been compelled to live in them.
Hardly less pleasant to the ultra mod
erns Is the practice of stripping the
yesterdays of their glory. The fact
that there is failure in both cases does
not discourage either those who live
wholly in the present, or those whe
would bring back the dim and distant
past.

off and the worse off,; understand
ing between those who employ and
those who are employed. Under
standing between all these is possible
but understanding is impossible be-
tween the Bourbon and the radical.
Accordingly, contribution on our
side to understanding is the avoid
ance of Bourbonism.
Some of us may well re-examine our
conception OF property rights. If those
who own property and those who are
charged with it's conservation recog-
nize this fact: That property-right is
best defended, not on grounds of ira
dition, but on grounds Of usefulness,
there is a chance, through open-mind-
ed discussion, for understanding be.
tween them and those who vote. On
the other hand, with the Bourbon who
holds that property-right, unchanged
BILE in al its aspects, is not discussable
in any aspect there Is no chance for
understanding. There is chance for
clash. He promotes the class con-
seriousness that is his danger and the
danger Of those whose business 1t is
to conserve property into the future.
Is 1t possible, in the second place,
thai some of us may we'll re-examine
our conception OF free speech? Thus
also we may help. each his mite, to
avoid misunderstanding between Bour-
bon and radical. Some of us would find
ourselves assuming free speech IS the
right of those who accept the political
and social institutions in which we
believe. Whereas the fact s. of
course, that free speech. short IF in
element to law breaking, is the right
OF all Of us. II is the right o the
communist and the socialist az much
as it is the right of you and m II
we who believe in our politica and
social institutions recognize this fact:
That free speech, short always nf in
element to law-breaking, Is the right
OF those whose ideas we dislike not
less than of those whose ideas we
like, we promote understanding.
Indeed. let us go farther and say that
we had better abate somewhat of our
zeal for repressive legislation. Gov
eminent by falling can put out the
communist and the socialist, but cam
not put down communism or social
ism. That is the task of those who
think straight and discuss generous
mindedly

At Luxor they have found the scep-
tiers of Tutankhamen. Those rods once
symbollzed a powerful despotlsm. They
glittered in the hand of one who, clad
in magnificence. ruled over nations.
They carried significance of life and
death, of peace and war But the
hand that welded them has been life
less for thousands of years. The name
of the despot who held them had
passed into oblivion. Even the nations
over whom he ruled have made their
exit into the forgotten. Just name
and a few disputed dates are all that
is left of the wielder OF the scepters.
What about the holders Of modern
scepters? win they profit by the lesson

Several of the large cities of the
country now engaged in war on
crime appear to be concentrating their
energies largely on driving the Grim.
lnals out of town and in doing this
are receiving wide commentator from
some of the reformers. But how can
crime be diminished by causing Grim
inals merely to change their loca-
lions? If Chicago causes them to
leave that city they merely win spread
over the country to other communi-
ties and there continue to prey upon
society, says the Muncie Evening
Press. 1t would be as sensible to send
smallpox patients from Muncie to In
dlanapolis on the theory that thereby
smallpox would be diminished. If one
Is known TO be a criminal and the
knowledge of the police on that point
is sufficient to force the suspect to
depart from the town, then 1t ought
to be strong enough to bring about
his arrest and conviction. Spreading
criminality over a wide territory is not
curing it.
