Comment and Criticism


Theodore Dresser, noted author,
sounded note that should strike a
responsive chord in tie heart Of every
real believer in freedom, in discuss
ing recently the so-called clean book
bill" before the New York State
Legislature.
Denouneing the bill rs n two-edged
menace 10 liberty. Mr.. Dresser de
clafed that besides hampering the
free production of great literature,
the proposed measure would forge
weapon for every powerful and lntol-
Grant institution that resents crit
eism. The bill would, he said, make
it possible 10 suppress work, ire
snective of its moral effect, If insutu-
tons that resent criticism persuaded
jury that enc paragraph was OBJ
scene.
Therein lies the danger in all at
tempts at censorship, a point that
was again emphasized by Mr.. Dresser
when he said:
"1hey know, these reformers, that
their attempts 10 fasten censorship
on US will keep the truthful artist IN
the side street while the procession III
mediocfity passes. with bands playing
down The main highway.
what they do not know, perhaps,
aa,el;st eyefy meet every social
p,itir the rrey of institutions that
hold themselves above criticism.

free speech, whether it agrees with
his views OF not, should oppose THIS

Out near the end Of a branch of maple tree, close by the sunny bank which was the playground of the little chipmunks was d dainty nest. It was really wonderful nest, for it was woven so that 1t hung in the fork of two twigs. A beautiful swinging cradle 1t was. It was the nest of Mrs. Red-eye the Vireo. Very proud was she Of that nest, and she had every reason 10 be, Well hidden was It. for the broad leaves of the maple covered 1t from prying eyes.
 Now of course Mrs. Red-eye had heard the excitement when Mir. Black Snake had caught Smarty Chipmunk. Little as she was, she had at once flown to join the other feathered people who were doing their best 10 make Mir. Black Snake uncomfortable. There were three eggs, three speckled eggs, in that dainty nest. One more would be all that 1t could comfortably hold. Any way, it wouldn't comfortably hold more than four babies.
 Mrs. Red-eye in the excitement quite forgot her eggs and she stay ed away longer than she meant to. You know that was such an excit- ing event that there was a great deal to be talked over among the feathered folk. When at last she realized how long she had been away she wasn't at all worried. She was quite sure that no one knew about that nest of hers. At least no enemy knew of 1t, she was quite certain. Sharp as are the eyes of Sammy Jay, Sammy hadn't yet dis covered it. He and Chatterer the Red Squirrel were the only ones she really feared. Chatterer hadn't been seen about for a long time. So Mrs. Red-eye felt that her secret was safe.
 At last she flew back. The excite ment was all over and everybody was going about their own business. With light heart she flew to her nest, making sure that nobody was watching her. She alighted on q branch just above it and looked down into 1t. She blinked her eyes several times and then stared again down into that little nest. Then she called to Red-eye, who was singing close by. Red-eye came over at once. Do you see anything wrong in that nest?" demanded little Mrs. Red-cye.
 Not 8 thing" replied Red-eye

 What will you bet?" asked air. fly.
 "A hundred dollars for the first ono and doubling 1t up for each succeeding one" he almost shouted angrily. knew he was too angry quite to realize what his doubling and redoubling would do and so remarked: "I wonder, Jack, If you know what you are doing. If get the whole five of those men it will mean thirty-six hundred dollars, you know"
 Jack looked surprised, but he was game and he bowed his head, say ing, All right. Go ahead"
 Wait a minute, and I'll call them up now" I told him as he pushed back his chair from the table.
 '1 cant wait another minute, Les lie. I'm late enough as it is. A woman seems 10 think that a man has nothing more to do than to talk polite nothings 10 her at the break fast table," ..'''.'....
 did not tell my husband that he would have been gone long ago if he had gotten up at the usual time. I thought he was being punished enough for the bad liquor he had drunk the night before.
 "All right, Jack. Go ahead, Rut bring your check book with you when you come home tonight. I've wanted a gorgeous old Spanish chest that l saw in Duveens the thought I could not afford 1t. The last time | was in New York but thirty-siX hundred will just pay for 1t"
 Jack said nothing and he left without kissing me. Immediately hastily called up the wives of the five men and asked them if they could come to luncheon on the yacht Atlantis the next day.
 You don't mean 10 say, Leslie, !" said the first one" that you are in viting me to that gorgeous yacht belonging to MT. Sartoris? l didn't know you knew him."
 "Yes, I do know him and that Is the yacht"
 How gorgeous. Of course, will accept with the greatest of plea sure"
 The other four women were just as enthusiastic. Three of them had engag gements which they gladly broke 10 accept my Invitation.

 "Thcre!" cried little Mrs. Red eye. "1 knew that my eyes hadn't fooled me! There is fourth egg there, and didn't lay it."
 Red-eye looked puzzled. Well, If you didn't lay 1t. how comes It thcre?" he demanded

 Red-eye shook his head. "No," said he, "l haven't seen her myself this summer, and l haven't heard anybody over in the Old Orchard mention her. dor't believe that shc has been around this year"
 Well I do," retorted little Mrs. Red-eye. "1 don't believe she is very far from here right this minute. I never have seen one of her eggs, but if this isn't one in our nest I am greatly mistaken. The question is, what arc we going 10 do about itco"
 But that question was too much for Red-cye. 'I don't see" said he, that there is anything VIC can do about it."

DWaft Iris.

Before the regal and lofty irises lift
their heads in the District of Column
bia, there comes to gladden. the eye
the delightful little race of flowers
known as dwarf iris, now in bloom
around our city. No majestic charm
is theirs, nor any claim to positions of
pre-eminence in the garden. But just
as some people win their way by an
endearing modesty of manner, SO the
dwarf irises capture the hearts of
many beholders.
The District Of Columbia has a ma
tive dwarf iris that grows in woods
and along dry clay pathways over
fields, especially around BladenSburg
the charming little purple dwarf,
with noble gold line upon it's sepals.
For nearly a month it will draw the
eye of the rambler afoot to the lowly
station on the ground where, not
more than inches high, and often
not as much as 2, it grows in patches
of bright gold and purple. Another
native dwarf, found more rarely, along
the Potomac above Washington, is the
crested iris with pale lilac flowers and
pure white crests. 1t is a favorite in
Washington gardens. More rare is the
closely similar lake iris, brought from
it bleak haunts about Lake Superior.
The old world, too, has given us it's
share of dwarf iriSeS. One kind, from
Portugal and Morocco, has violet pur-
pie flowers with golden crests. and an
other, called Hungarian" though hail
ing really from Central Asia, is su-
perbly spotted with blush purple on
a white ground. Yellow dwarf irises
have come to us from the mountains
of Sicily, from France, and from the
region around the Black Sea.
