Hugo's House of Exile
to Belong to France

The French government is about to
acquire for the French nation Haute-
Vile house, st. Peter port, Guernsey,
in which Victor Hugo lived for Is
years when exiled from France for his
political views. Over 200 years old,
Hauteville house is large double
fronted building. The interior Is like
a museum. The walls are covered
with tapestries and the furniture Is
Of dark oak, which the writer collected
as hobby. Everything is left just as
Hugo last saw it in 1878. The oak
room contains the famous bed pre-
pared for Garibaldi in 1890; the gen.
eral never came, and the bed has
never been used. In two odd corners
are two little tables, where the author
used to write while standing. On
these were written, among other works
'Toilers of the Sea" and LES Miser-
ables."

HE BELONGS IN THE
AGE OF POETRY

Once more, archaeology digs up
history and makes it news. The
bones of Peter the Hermit have
been found, after resting for near
~ thousand years.
Peter was both a fact and a
myth. Actually, he and band of
penniless irregulars who called them
selves "paupers" took part in the
First Crusade, in the years just pre-
ceding the year 100.
But the legends grew with the
centuries, until Peter became the in
spirer, as Godfrey was the leader, Of
a now almost mythical crusade.
From the mediaevel songs to Tas-
so, he was a hero of the spirit, and
one of the few names not bern to
die.
Then came a generation that read
newspapers instead of poetry, and
forgot him. Now the finding of his
bones makes him news, and SO
brings him back to the only notice
the contemporary world knows.
Put his bones back and let him
rest again. Perhaps, some day, there
will come another generation that
reads poetry, and cares.

purchase with a wage the right
to control both the minds and the

are fleeing, tickle things, which
change with the mood of the mob,

breeze. The wisdom of our fore
fathers refused to deliver into
their hands limitless lawmaking
power. They carefully guarded
our inalienable rights by the
making of a constituency which
says: "Thus far and no farther
shalt thou go" Within those linn
its the sacred right of freedom of
thought and faith is safgeuarded.
The importance of evolution
is secondary. What we as Amer
lean people are more interested
in is maintaining absolutely the
greatest possible freedom of re-
ligious opinion and the right to
express that opinion.
AS DR.. Jones so ably points
out, if we can say you SHALL
NOT teach this or that, it nat
urally follows that we may say
you shall teach our children such
and such belief, opinion or re-
ligious doctrine. The right of
the Individual to worship God
according to the dictates of his
conscience must not be denied,
his rights as free-born, free
thinking American citizens must
not be abrogated. Narrowness
and bigotry will follow as the day
follows the night if we attempt to
dictate religious expression by
legislative enactment.

STATE COMMISSIONS
MUST BE COMPETENT

Herbert Hoover, at the same cleo
trio convention expressed his pref
erence for state rather than nation
al regulation, even when lines cross
ing state frontiers make national
regulation legal.
Doubtless Hoover is right; so long
as the staate commissions live up to
their responsibilities.
But if one state commission IS
subservient to the regulated cor
porations and another to corpora
combating demagogues, and am
other is stupid and another under
equipped, state regulation begins to
break down.
If you do not want tire regulating
power to go from the state to the
nation, support your state commits
sions-put good men on them and
keep them there; give them the nee
essary staff and equipment, and
stand behind them when they deal
justly, even if your personal rates
go up
