YOUTH BLAMES OLD AGE.

Ii is always interesting to see
the younger generation proclaim
ing as new discoveries, as discoy'
cries of their own, the precepts
which have come down from a re-
mote past. This is really a habit
of all younger generations as they
come on. Is youth at the present
day an exception to the rule?
Evidently not, ii we may judge
from a recent editorial article in
the Yale News, an undergraduate
publication. Current youthful eX-
cesses, according to the News, are
a "paternal hangover; and the
college paper adds: "The younger
generation is taking it's example
from it's older contemporaries and
may be an heir to the excuses
which now predominant among
the supposedly more sober-minded
elders" In so saying, the Yale
News paraphrases a whole vol
,4,cays ~ Glen. ca yyVss.-1 s q thasss
saws: Gas the old cock crows, so
the young one learns" Like ia
Their, like son." saith another. And
the plaintful Jeremiah went so far
as to ascribe (as many centuries
later Ibsen did in "Ghosts") even
the pains and SORROWS of the liv-
ing generation to the dead. "The
fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on
edge" Indeed, it has been the
custom of satirists and reformers
in all times not only to reproach
age with it's own weaknesses and
errors, but to burden its shoulders
with responsibility for the excess
es of the generation that follows.
No fault can be found with this
tendency, nor is there any error
in the statement that the younger
generation may inherit the weak
nesses with which it is charged.
But if the younger generation real
ly insists upon putting the blame
for possible mistakes upon the
older, it by that shift admits its
obligation to do better by its own
maturity, by its own age, than the
elder generation has done. Ours
is time which makes much of
the saying "The child is father Of
the man" That principle is the
foundation of our education and
OF most of our education and of
most of our attempted reforms.
II it is true, it devolves on the
younger generation to better the
record of their fathers-in short,
in the language of Yales ambro-
sial youth, to leave no hangover"
for either their own old age or
their posterity.

The name of A. o. Meloy, expected

Bryson has held office under a
temporary appointment since his

of the protest of Ralph Updike. Con-

Updike contended for civil

the Indianapolis postmaster. This
privilege was denied him.

These are the surface facts Of

struggle between New and Senator
Watson, old time political foes, with
Senator Robinson possibly lined up
with Watson. New is uncomprom-

shall be reappointed, and has said
President Coolidge, he believes, is
with him. He holds that Brysons
efficiency record entities him to
another term.
On the other hand, Senator Moses,
chairman Of the Senate Postoffice
Committee, which had Bryson's
name under consideration last ses-
sion, has repeatedly said that when
the Indiana Senators tell him what
they wish his committee will make
a recommendation.
