More Truth Than Poetry
By James j. Montague
DISAGREEING IN THEIR LITTLE NESTS

When L was but little child
l learned from books, and other sources,
That BIRDS although their ways are wild,
Are never known to get divorces.
In early spring they WOO their wives,
At nesting time their vows are spoken
And through their long and constant lives
Their plighted troth is never broken.
Alas this tale, observers find,
Has but the flimsiest foundations
The fact is that the feathered kind
Are always seeking separations.
The jay, the robin and the wren
without the least or reason
Are parted and are wed again
To different sweeties, twice each season.
And cen the fond and cooling doves
Whose mates may suppose, adore them
Will often fall for bran new loves
And leave their nests and children for them.
The black-birds in the forest domes,
The swallows in the barn and steeple-
Have broken up as many homes
AS have we grosser, human people.
trust, that in theN days of old
Their family ties they did not sever,
But took their mates to have and hold
And shield from owls and cats forever.
like to think that long ago
They had but one enduring passion
Which now has died. because they know
That it longer is in fashion.

LETTER M}
RLN 81

WASHINGTON-Sec of State
Frank B. Kellogg, despite his 70
years, still manages to get around
a golf course in creditable fashion.
He returned from Pinehurst recently,
telling of first round made in SO,
which is not so good for Bobby
Jones, but not so bad for a white
haired secretary of state.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
however, is a better preserved speci-
men than Kellogg. Mellon is 72,
but he looks younger, and is more
active than his fellow cabinet MEM
Der.
Both men recently have been the
subject of resignation rumors, but
there is no surface evidence that
these are we'll founded. AS 1928
draws near, with the important taxa
ton problems which must be worked
out in the interim, President Coolidge
and his party will need Mellon more
than ever.
Kellogg is by no means tired of his
post and if he intends to resign
before March A. 1929, he presumably
would prefer to wait until he has
had opportunity to achieve some i'm
portant strokes in international re-
lations.

Home of Charlie
Ross Is Being
Torn To Pieces

PHILADELPHIA, Dee. II. -
Bowing to Time, showing signs or
age in its vacant windows, and its
moss covered, dropping verandas, a
bleak. weathcrbeatcn house, per
haps the most arrcSting structure
in Philadelphia except lndcpcnd-
cncc Hall, today is crumbling under
the blows of the pick axe and the
wrench of the ow-bar.
This stolid three story dwelling
Of "thc cupola era, rising on its
high knoll above one of the decliv'-
ties of Washington Lane, in Ger
mantown, once sheltered Charlie
Ross, the boy whose disappearance
has remained one of the mysteries
of America and whose name through
half century was carried in hope,
anxiety and despair to all corners
Of the earth.
Now it is being torn down to
make room for the progress Of a
new generation which remembers
little of the tragedy which came to
the occuDants of this house
The Ross mansion, for the past
decade, has been the seat of the
Clivedcn Presbyterian church. With
the growth of the congregation It
was found inadequate and 4 new
church has been erected to the rear
of the house. Now the house itself
is being ra2ed and on it's site anoth-
or church is to be built.
In the disappearance of the Ross
home, Philadelphia loses one of ITS
greatest shrines of the curious.

Plagiarism.

Suit has been filed by a man in New

American song writer's for an injunc-
ton against the continued publication
of one of his recent "song hits" for
| notification Of the copyright and for
i payment of the profits that have ac-
crued already from its sale. He claims
that this song was almost Identical

and showed to an agent OF the now
accused composer In other words.
he charges plagiarism. This is not a
| unique charge. 1t has been brought
against many another successful pro-
Queer of popular literary and musical
pabuIum. 1t has been brought against
playwrights and motion picture pro-
ducers. And for every suit that has
been filed on the score Of literary.
dramatic and musical theft there have
been many other accusations. that
have not reached the courts.
Plagiarism is easily charged, but is
hard to prove. It Is difficult to per-
suade court or jury that an idea
or text or theme has been stolen.
For there is such thing as uncon-
scious imitation or plagiarism. limo
cent adoption of concept. Author
ship is the product Of cerebration IN
which memory is large factor A
man has read something sometime,
somewhere, and later when he is in a
creative mood 1t creeps back into his
mind and enters the composition of
his product. That is an innocent pro.
cedure. Then again there is undoubt-
edly much deliberate taking Of the
brain goods OF others. 1t has been
charged repeatedly against scenario
writer's attached to the large motion
picture studios. 1t has been charged
against dramatists Of note. It has
been charged against authors Of pop
ular works of fiction, and in many
cases with reason, though the COM
plainants have been denied Justice in
the courts for the lack of technical
proof of actual theft.
Some ideas are universal and can
not be copyrighted in themselves. The
particular treatment Of an idea, how.
ever, is property and should be pro-
tected. The court should be jealous
to protect creative authors in their
rights. At the same time, they should
be jealous to protect them against
the claims of those who imagine re-
semblances. In the case in point IL
there was any likeness between the
manuscript submitted to the COM
poser's agent, If he was an agent,
and the song hit that later appeared,
the burden of proof would seem to be
on the composer and not on the
claimant.

British and American Golfers.

AS the American golfers were about
TO step on the boat train at London
in the first stage of their trip home
a. reporter cornered Walter Hagen,
bne Of the United States star links
knen. and asked him why America
had been able to sweep the field in
both the British amateur and open
tournaments. Hagen very promptly
gave his conclusions, which We're in
brief that 'the English were too gosh
darned lazy; that they assumed q
don't-care attitude in regard to golf
competition" and that 'in order to
play a fine game a man must work
as hard at it as he does in business"
Hagen's diagnosis has drawn forth
q storm of denial from English golf
ers, who point out that long tour
nament schedule and not laziness is
the cause of their game going stale
in the crucial matches. 1t is impoSsi-
BILE, they say, to keep at the top OF
form for 50 long a period, and they
are unanimous in suggesting that the
open tournament be held earlier in
the year, when they are fresh and
keen for the game.
4 This controversy will probably rage
until next years championships. Out
