in the way. 1t involves minding ones owr
business and resisting the magnificent
temptation to reform" everybody ex-
cept ourselves. 1t is. sceptical of mass
ideas. of generalities, of "hooplas and
hallelujahs." In fact, it involves the
critical art of being an individual able
to stand alone. make adjustments and
compromises, form opinions that are
something more than the rubber-stamp
OF the community. and in judging for
oneself. allow the other fellow the same
privilege too.
:. If this village community idea, pro-
posed as corrective for the impersonal,
bureaucratic, and mob aspects of democ
racy, can be worked out along the lines
of tolerance and understanding, so that
individuals may be freed from laws and
regulations that seek to dominate per-
sonal life. then the idea would be boon
indeed, But if it is just another patent
nostrum to be advertised and doomed
as remedy for all the ills, and Incl
dentally as means of putting down
everybody that may happen to dis
agree with it, then let us hope that in
shaking before taking, we will see its

TO MY LOVE.

Alice, your smiles mean more to me:
Than the world and all of its gold.
For in your smiles / find more joy:
Than all the worlds treasures could
hold.
And in your eyes 1 found a hight;
Like stars up in the skies of blue.
Showed to me the love in your heart |:
Was love that was good and true.
In this love I found new hope;
Encouragement it gave to me,
All my labors seem trivial things:
And all my thoughts are of thee.
All of my days, all of my nights;
All are with dreams of you replete,
now live, like a man reborn;
And my life seems far more COM
plete
The stars in heaven envy me;
And the sun hides his face in shame,
Dim were they compared to your eyes;
When first into my life you came.

ALICE

OF deepest blue of summer skies
is wrought the heaven Of her eyes.
OF that fine gold the autumns wear
is wrought the glory of her hair.
OF rose leaves fashioned in the south
Is shaped the marvel of her mouth.
And from the honeyed lips Of bliss
Is drawn the sweetness Of her kiss.
Mid twilight thrushes that rejoice
Is found the cadence of her voice,
OF winds that wave the western fir
Is made the velvet touch Of her.
OF all earth's songs God took the half
To make the ripple of her laugh.
| hear you ask, pray who is she?'-
This maid that is so dear to me.
"A reigniry queen in Fashions whirl?"
Nay, nay. She is my baby girl.

tecedents would supply the browning
evidence against him. And yet the
score. whilst n comparatively neg
ligible evil, was the more immediate,
and therefore gave him at the mo-
| ment the greater preoccupation.
He knew that it would be heavy,
! and he knew that the balance of"his
resources was utterly inadequate TO
meet il. Yet unless il were met he
could be assured that Mrs. Quinn
woulu show him no mercy: and this
fresh trick of Fate's, in bringing him
into association with Tucker on the
very eve of that conspirator's arrest,
placed him in the power of Mrs.
Quinn TO an extent that did not bear
considering.
And SO you behold him presently,
arrayed once more in the shabby gar
nents that he had thought TO have
discarded forever, emerging from
the Paurs Head carrying a bundle
that. contained his finery. and max
ing his way back 10 those shops in
Paternoster Row where it had been
so lately and 10 jubilantly acquired.
Here he discovered that there is
world Of difference between the
treatment offered to seller and to
a buyer.
Ten pounds was all that he could
raise on gear for which few hours
ago he had paid close upon thirty.
Back to the Paul's Head went
Colonel HOLES TO find his hostess
awaiting him with the score. And
the sight of the latter turned him
almost sick.
He marveled at the prodigious
amount of Canary and ale that he
had consumed during those weeks.
Irrelevantly he fell to considering
that this very costly thirst of his
was the result of long soiourn in
the Netherlands. where the habit of
copious drinking is commonplace.
Then he came back TO the main con-
sideration. which was that the total
exceeded twenty pounds. 1t was a
prOdigious sum.
He raised eyes that, despite him,
were hsggard and betraying from
those terrifying figures, and met that
baleful glance of the lady who, be-
cause she could not be his wife, was
now his relentless enemy.

GOOD IN THE OIL SCANDAL.

Out of all the muck and reek of
the oil scandal inquiry in Washing
ton, one thing of incalculable benefit
to the nation may be expected. That
is the formulation of a policy which
will provide positive oil resources for
the United States army and navy
in event of war.
Those guilty of any crime or be-
trayal Of trust ought to be, and. we
hope, will be, properly punished. That
is necessary corrective influence
against the commission of other
crimes and the development of sim
liar scandals in the future. But
the putting of half dozen promin-
ent men in Jail will not move a bat
tleship one inch or give a single turn
to the propeller of an airplane. Those
essential activities need oil.
To be sure, If there is any oil in
comes, it will be available for the use
Of the army and navy. whether it Is
in government tanks, or Doheny
tanks, or Sinclair tanks, or Rockefel-
Ter tanks. The governments need will
be paramount and its strength will
be sufficient to supply those needs if
there is any oil anywhere in the
country. But there is some question
as to whether there will be any oil
anywhere in the country when that
day comes. Some experts have esti-
mated our total potential supply as
exhaustible in twenty years. Others
figure it as good for 80 years. Every
one knows that it is not without
limit.
:, The nations primary need, there
fore, as long as some better source
of power for warships. airplanes, etc.
is not available, is to assure itself
a necessary supply of oil and gaso-
line for any future date at which It
may be required. Recognition of that
need and provision for supplying it Is
virtually certain to come out Of the
inquiries which are now so upsctting
the country. That is tangible bene-
fit to be expected from the investi-
CATION.
SO far there is considerable doubt.
even among the best informed. as to
whether it is safe to leave the oil

NO WESTMINSTER NEEDED.

The suggestion that a mausoleum
be built in Washington for the burial
of American Presidents will hardly
be accepted. There is no occasion for
an imitation of the method used in
the case of kings. Our Presidents,
coming from the people, return to join
the body of their fellow citizens in
retirement.
Some have been great, some very
great. and some have not been great
at all. Several have risen to power
because of local popularity. rney
served their time with indifferent sue
cess, to be all but forgotten by the
peoDle as whole. but to be proud
~ remembered by the home folks. Polk
is happier on the lawn at the state
house in Nashville than he would be
in Washington. Buchanan belongs at
Wheatland. Hays at Fremont. And
Mckinley at Canton.
The people themselves make shriHes.
and no arbitrary edict of Congress
of men whose graves are shrincs it
matters little where they may be bur-
led. The country finds ITS way TO
Mount Vernon, to Monticello. to the
Hermitage, to Oyster Fay. and the
hill of st. Alban--and they who go.
go in spirit of reverence, not of
curiosity.
No man would care TO wander
among the graves Of Fillmore. Tyler.

out of his cabinet certain officials who
had fallen under senatorial and popuIar
suspicion. But though what Senator
Reed literally said was that the Ameri-
can people would demand the resigna-
ton of President who showed "such
yellow streak" in relation to a specific
project, the inference invited was that
Mr.. Coolidge was devoid of courage on
the broadest count.
Perhaps if an expression Of sentiment
could be had from the American people
as whole, it would be to the effect thai
President Coolidge should have Cleaned

the situation which the Senate is investi
eating arose; that he should have done
so even at the possible expense of doing
an injustice to the individuals involved
in the spreading scandal growing out o.
the Teapot Dome Deal. But it is ex
tremely doubtful if many intelligent
non-partisans, or even partisans with {
wholesome sense of justice. would ascribt
Mr.. Coolidge's course to lack of cour.

several doses OF commission govern

Here was a fine thing. everybody

men, not yet having been granted the
franchise, busted themselves nightly in
exerting indirect influence. Clubs had

ing something of the kind il it was not
a self curative scheme.
Unfortunately, many of the old ills OF
democracy have returned and now Henry
f. Jackson, Social engineer" of New
York City, proposes the resusci.ation of
the old town meeting" idea as the zone
possible salvation for American democ-
racy."
His idea sounds feasible enough. He
proposes the division of cities into small
units that correspond to the villages
from which the cities sprang. In these
villages, the community gathered to at
tend to its civic affairs. In this way
government was brought into more i'm
mediate contact with the people of each
community and its needs. Mr.. Jackson
proposes this meeting ground as a basis
of mutual understanding and a means
OF doing away with much of the "racial
antagonisms, class hatreds, deep social
cleavages, and dissimilarities of mind
and purpose" that distress and disturb.
As far as that is concerned ,,let us hope
that there always will be "dissimilarities
