SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON

Dignified Serenity.
Our folks, in order to obtain a little
further light
Decided on a visit TO the zoo.
We've done our best to get this evolu
tion chatter right,
And we're resolved to see the ques
tion through.
We've met so many people in a fear
full frame of mind
Lest a monkey might attempt so
cial call!
We watched with close attention, and
we're gratified to find
That the Chimpanzee's not worrying
at all.
He swung, head downward from his
perch with elegance complete,
And with his hind hand scratched
his ear at ease.
He seemed to say, I'm Beauty Con
tests I cannot compete.
But in Athletics, 1 should surely
please"
The one who really has the most OF
all to gain, appears
To show an interest exceeding
small.
This Darwin hubbub has the Genus
Homo by the ears,
But the Chimpanzee' not worrying

Control of Flower Vandals Sought.

People living in a mountain region
have complained to the Governor of
Pennsylvania that motorists from
large cities are destroying many wild
plants. They represent that people
from the cities are stripping the noun
tains of rhododendrons, golden rod
and other plants whose flowers are at
tractive If vandals are so active in
Midsummer it is likely that they were
more active in Spring, and that early
blooming species greatly suffered.
The action of the mountain dwelling
people in calling on the governor and
other State authorities for help has
been taken, no doubt. only after long
and serious provocation, and 1t is pos
sible that efforts Of local neighbor-
hood kind have been taken to meet
the situation and have failed. 1t is
plausible that laws for the conserva-
ton of wild plants will be enacted
and with neighborhood sentiment
strongly favorable to them they will
be enforced. With the great and grow
ing crowds Of people who take to the
country on holidays and days OF sun.

Of travel. The dirigible, they think, is

Smith and McAdoo.

Will the senatorial race in 1926 de-
eide the Democratic presidential nom-
ination of 1928? Gov. Al Smith, the
white hope" of the Eastern and
Northern Democracy, is a possible. in
fact, a probable candidate for the Sen
ate in the race for the seat now oCCu-
pied by Senator Wadsworth,- Repub-
lican. William Gibbs McAdoe. it is
reported from California, is itching to
get into the contest for the seat now
held by Senator Shortridge, who, like
W'adsworth, is, a Republican.
If these two distinguished Demo
Gratis are nominated for the Senate.
one on the Atlantic coast and the
other on the Pacific, the senatorial
campaign of 1926 will take on a politi-
cal interest that has rarely been
+ equaled in an off year" when no ma
tional ticket is in the field. The ad-
herents of both these factional leaders
will do their utmost to bring them
victory. If Smith should win in New
York, and McAdoo should lose in Cali
fornia, or vice versa, doubtless the
presidential aspirations of the loser
would suffer through loss of prestige
On the other hand, should both win
and come to the Senate the stage
would be set for another historic
struggle in the Democratic national
convention of '2S. The record made
in the Senate by the two men would
be carefully scanned and compared.
The acceptance Of the senatorial
nomination by either of these Demo
cratic leaders is necessarily hazardous
Strong as Gov. Smith is in New York
he would have a difficult opponent to
defeat in Senator Wadsworth Cali
fornia normally is Republican. Demo
cratic Senators from the Golden Gate
have been few and far between. 1t
may be that one or both of the dis
ttnguished Democrats will decide in
the end that they will not be candi-
dates for the Senate. But from the
point Of view of mere political interest
and excitement the hope may be ex-
pressed that they will both get into
the race.
Should McAdoo and Smith make the
race for the Senate, and both should
lose, as they might well lose, would
their defeat not cause the rank and
file of the Democracy to heave a sigh
OF relief? Their defeat might well be
construed as a reason for considering
neither of them for the presidential
nomination in 1928. And SO the bitter
ness of 1924 might be removed.

Conditions in the Polar Arctic are
the worst imaginable for airplane
work. There are no broad spaces of
smooth ice and few stretches of open
water. On his flight recently Amund-
sen tried to land in an open channel
caused by a fissure in great foe and
wrecked one of his planes, and was
able to extricate the other with the
greatest difficulty. He was lucky to
have escaped with one of his planes
intact.
At present the requirement of a
wide space for landing an airplane Is
one of the chief limitations of that
form of aviation device. Starting and
landing spaces must be extensive and
smooth. The plane disabled in fight
is brought to earth at serious risk OF
complete collapse. 1t is this fact
that gives strength to the hope that
the helicopter, or the vertically rising
and descending plane, will be devel-
oped to the point of practical utility.

Dayton to Have Its Day.

Denial by a Federal court Of an in.
junction to prevent the trial of the
Scopes evolution-teaching case in Ten
nessee, sought on the ground that the
State law under which the prosecu-
tfon is brought is unconstitutional
does not go to the point of the conten-
tion that the State has no legal right
to dictate by prohibition the mode of
public education. 1t is based merely
upon the proposition that the proper
legal procedure is to submit the case
first to the esta blished judicial proc
esses of the State, and that the Fed
eral court cannot at the initial stage
OF the case intervene.
Eventually this issue will be car
ried into the Federal courts. even as
was that of the Oregon law. which
prohibited the maintenance OF private
and parochial schools in that State
which the Supreme Court recently de-
clared invalid on constitutional
grounds. 1t was believed bv the conn
sci for Scopes that way could be
found through injunction to secure a
direct hearing Of their plea that the
State law transcends the constitu-
tional limitation. They have been
denied the short cut by which they
hoped to reach the eventual Judgment
Now the trial at Dayton will pro-
ceed. That little town is naturally
delighted with the ruling of the Fed.
eral court. 1t will have its day in the
news. 1t will for a time be the center
of public interest. 1t will be crowded
with curiosity hunters. There will be
flood tide of printed matter about
1t and its denizens. It will bask in the
glory of the great personages attend
ing the trial. Then its day will wane,
the scene Of the action will shift to
another place, and in few weeks
: the name of Dayton, Tenn, will be
recalled with difficulty as the town
where the evolution trial occurred.

The st. Peters Robbery.

According to dispatches, the crime
of stealing precious objects from St
Peters Church in Rome has been
solved, the thieves captured and, the
stolen property recovered. The rob-
berry was given unusual publicity. For
thieves to carry out their work In
such a famous church was extraordt'
nary, and the articles stolen were of
sentimental and religious value far
above their worth in gold. 1t seemed
also to be a crime of great magnitude
in the money sense. The loss was
given as a million lire. Perhaps many
persons read that as million dol
lars" and few persons offhand could
reduce the Ira to the dollar. The par
of the Ira is 1873 cents American, but
at the current rate of exchange the
value of the lira, leaving out small
fractions, is 3.73 cents. While the
early dispatches carried the sum as
zone million lire later dispatches,
and rectification in newspaper offices
of lire into dollars, put the value OF
the stolen property at $4,000. In the
old and thickly settled cities of Eu-
rope police systems are very closely
and finely organized and there are not
so many ways to escape as with US.
1t also seems that the robbery was
not a masterpiece of crime committed
by peculiarly shrewd criminals, but
was the work of quite ordinary
thieves and a crime which the police
found little difficulty in solving.

That the author of the above appeal
to class passion was not unaware of
the meaning of his words, the Amer
lean Defense Society cites his numer-
Gus articles scoffing at patriotism and
especially ridiculing Defense day as a
militaristic movement. The man who
was thus honored by the Lexington
patriots who played his pageant of
revolt wrote in the New Republic Sep.
tember II, 1924:
"I cannot today imagine the circum-
stances under which I would again
fight for this or any other country. 1

fight either to further or oppose a So
cial revolution. L believe all wars to

self much matter. 1t does matter
however. from one or two rather more
profound angles.
''Out of Difference to the revolution
as patriotically scheduled-to the
Zeppeiins which are now tugging at
their Russian moorings-it has been
reschristened National Defense day or
something of the sort and advertised
as an experiment to prove how quick
ly we could get our maximum fighting
force under the colors. 1t isn't that,
of course. 1t is an army gesture to
atone for the pretty thorough falling
down of the postwar reserve organi-
zation. My guess is that the
reactions will fall pretty evenly into
| the last two categories: 1T was a
good war while 1t lasted and What

Defense day lies in the recognition, by
a pornpous yet hangdog army, of the
fact that it has irretrievably lost

What such bolshevist as Sidney
Howard says gives It's own measure, -
says the secretary of the American
Defense Society, "but 1t takes on spe-
cial significance when the writer be-

Reports on the experiences of 10
months under the United States i'm
migration law have led to discussions
of the effect of the law on the labor
supply of the country. There are diff
ferences of opinion on the subject,
some observers believing that the pro-
visions ought to be modified
Attacks on the immigration law are
laid to those who want cheap labor,
by the Portland Oregon Journal,
which says: MANY of our foreign-born
make high-type citizens. Many of
them are superior to numerous Ameri-
can born. But immigration cannot be
promiscuous and indiscriminate. 1t
went that way too long" On the
other hand, the Boston Globe predicts
that the country will face a new and
acute labor supply problem, and that
soon.'' The Globe refers to the report
of Assistant Secretary of Labor Hus-
band that while italy in the 10-month
period was sending us but 5,503 i'm
migrants, an emigration of Italians
from the United States took place and
subtracted $4,000 from our popula-
tion.''
An unexpected effect of the . per cent
law is observed by the Schenectady
Gazette. I'm bygone days." ii states,
''it was customary for an immigrant
to work here until he earned enough
to bring his wife and children or par
ents to this country. But now he finds
the quota makes 1t q matter of years
before his relatives will be permitted
to enter. AS a result when he has
earned what he considers sufficient, he
returns to his native land. For the
first 10 months OF the new law 49,
500 more unskilled workers left this
country than entered it"
That there is a shortage of un-
skilled labor in Florida is asserted by
the Miami News, which, however,
points out that it's situation differs
from that in other parts of the
country. "The Northern and Central
Atlantic seaboard," it states. draws
it's unskilled labor chiefly from
Europe, and sends its surplus to the
Middle, North and Far West. The
border States count largely on Mexi-
can labor. South Florida, on the
other hand, depends almost entirely
on the imported negro labor from the
Bahamas, and the restrictions placed
on this class of immigration have
worked a very real hardship in this
community, where an increased
amount of man power is needed, both
