Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

T know you would delight in the place we are in. quite isol"5ed. in a lredominatine hemlock forest. right on the shore of beau tiful lake, with wonderful ~unset- ove- the mountains" writes Mrs. Bessie Wiley Fisher, wife of G. Clyde Fisher of the American Nm scum of Natural History, from Harrison, Cumberland County. Me. There are open spaces not far distant and we are 0etting quite start on our summer flower list, 130 or 140 by now, 1 guess"
 Those who know the Maine summer para disc. with its lady's slippers. shinleaf, creep ing mitchella, snOwberry vine, and jungles of maidenhair ferns in dark sombre pine and hemlock forests. and pastures azure with blue berries, red with raspberries, glorious with wild flowers and musical with bird songsters, may picture the sleepy, happy days atn nature lover finds at Harrison.
 Dr. Fisher writes he expected to get into the wilds of Lapland the end of June and spend month there. hoping to complete his picture series by that time and get back to New York August 19, when he will go to Maine.

BRITISH WON'T STAND FOR IT

There is quite difference in reaction when a British subject is killed in a for eign country from that manifested when an American citizen is killed in foreign country. Americans have not been greatly disturbed either by frequent murders of American citizens in Mexico, such as occurred only few years ago, or by the recent murder of an American
 consul in Persia. Consequently it is well known that there is less concern for American lives in foreign lands than for British on the part of unruly natives. This is well illustrated by the furore which has arisen throughout England over the murder of Mrs. Evans in Mex ico the other day. Not only the British press and the British people, but the British government itself is manifesting both indignation and a determination to bring prompt atonement for the crime. The result has been summary punish ment of four Mexicans, even though the proof oE their guilt was not established. There is search going on for more sus- poets, and their execution will inevitably follow. For some reason the Mexicans fear British displeasure more than they do American displeasure. All this arises out of the British demeanor when atroc- ities against British subjects are com naitted and not from any condign or belligerent actions on the part of the British military. Perhaps American off cials would do well to observe and copy the British demeanor on such occasions.

RADIO TO sTIMULATE VOTING

Various political leaders are making plans this year to reach the stay-at-home vote by means of the radio. It is we'll known that national elections are usually decided by a minority of the voters. h. deed, Mississippi is held up as the horri- ble example which in 1920 sent less than ten per cent. of qualified voters to the polls. Mississippi's case is really not so bad, however, as it is in some other states. Mississippi would have gone for Cox whether ten per cent. or one hundred per cent. of her voters cast their ballots. That would not be the case in a bi-party state, like Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky or Iowa, where the stay-at-home vote could alter the entire complexion of the final result.
 It is a question, however, whether the radio is the cure needed for electoral apathy. It is not that the stay-at-homes are not aware that an election is going on, or that they are not interested in the outcome. It may be interpreted as measure of the degree in which our gov ernment falls short of being truly demo- cratic. These stay-at-homes know that circumstances in which they had no real part already have circumsclibed their choice of candidates until it is no longer a free choice. The whole people are called upon to decide which candidate they favor out of a possible, or an im- possible,> two or three that have been selected by a few people, That is what kills the interest of the intelligent Amer fcan in general elections.
