PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

Every profession or organization
in America needs to be subjected to
the continuous cross-fire of two types
Of criticism:
The criticism of satire.
The criticism of social interpreta-
ton.
The satirist keeps a profession or
organization aware of it's buncombe
and it's banality.
The social interpreter keeps a pro-
fession or organization aware or its
dignity and its duties.
The professions and organizations
in America are in little danger of
lacking satirists to keep them re-
minded of their weaknesses.
III. l.. Mencken, as sort OF latter-day
Voltaire, who has traded the rapier
for rawhide whip, is prophet and
promoter of an American school of
satirists animated by a holy passion
for hunting down hokum.
Sinclair Lewis, with his red head
and restless spirit, is companion god
Of this emerging school of satirists,
but Mr.. Mencken Is it's legitimate
father.
Mr.. Mencken is abnormally sensi-
tive to artificiality.
Mr.. Mencken can scent a pose
across the continent.
There Is a touch of unreality about
the weak thunderbolts forged by some
of his imitators who have caught his
style without catching his spirit, but,
by and large, the group or critics
who have caught even a little OF the
infection of his satire are exerting a
cleansing influence upon American
life.
In irreverent essays on the docs"
they are developing a healthy criti-
cism Of the medical profession.
In jovial gibes at ''schoolmarms"
and 'the rolling mills of the higher
learning" they are making the teach
ing profession in general and the uni
versities in particular gratlfyingly
self-conscious and self-critical.
In fun-making thrusts at the new
Pharisees of service, at the some
times too naive liturgfes Of luncheon
clubs, at the dawning Professionalism
of realtors and morticians. they are
making us realize the necessity OF
putting reality back of the rhetoric or
these ventures.
The supply of satire seems decently
assured; we are in greater danger or
lacking adequate social Interpretation
that will keep the professions and
organizations of America reminded OF
their potential social significance in
the evolution Of American life and
culture.
While Mr.. Mencken Is reminding
the realtors" and the 'Rotarians'
and the ''schoolmarms" and the
prophet Of service Of their artifi.
ciaiities, we need social interpreters to
hold before these professions and or.

Hikers Invited
To Scenic Trails
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
was very glad to see the full dis
cussion that was given to the Potomac
Gorge Park project in The Stars
editorial of December 8. 1t would
indeed be a calamity IL the natural
beauties Of this region were lost to
ourselves and future generations
through commercial exploitation. In
creasing numbers in this hectic ma
chine age are coming to learn of the
benefits to be derived by needing the
advice of the poet to "go forth, under
the open sky, and list to Nature
teachings"
There is a work which has recently
been started by the Potomac APP
palachian Trail Club Of this city which
should appeal to many of the readers
of The Star. That work is the con-
struction of hiking trails in the noun
famous regions near Washington,
primarily along the Blue Ridge. The
trail along the Blue Ridge will even
tually become a part of the Appala-
chan Trail which is to run from Maine
to Georgia, following a skyline of the
Appalachian system. The section of
the trail on which the club Is working
will extend into the proposed Shen-
andoah National Park.
All who would like to share in some
way in opening up TO mixers and
nature lovers the scenic mountainous
country within two or three hours
drive from Washington are asked to
get in touch with the secretary at
Room SIC, Metropolitan Bank Building.

She had her eyes wide open for what

and large eyes, of the type that seem

Then the lines of unhappiness might

A Golden Chance.

Under the heading. "Vice President
Wanted" an advertisement appears
In New York paper which will prob
ably elicit numerous responses. In
deed, were 1t not for the fact that ap.
plicants are asked to write and not to
make their approach in person or by
telephone, it is probable that the serv-
ices Of the police will be necessary to
keep in check the throng lured by the
announcement. The company that
needs q vice president is described as
leading the world in it's line Of bust
ness. It wants man to take charge
Of all Of it's marketing activities. who.
for perhaps a year. will have to busy
himself in studying and in earning the
right to leadership over the able jun
Tor executives who are now at the
head Of the sales force. During this
probation he will have to be content
with a salary Of $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, but just as soon as he proves
himself he will be made vice president
There are probably a good many
thousand men who believe that they
meet the requirements of this attrac-
tive advertisement. They may not
have had experience in marketing or
In salesmanship on a small or a large
scale. But they have confidence in
their abilities. Certainly they have
the belief that they are worth from
$4,000 to s25. 900 a year while on pro-
baton, and that they can earn the
right to promotion to larger stipend.
II they believe themselves thus quail
fed, strongly enough, they may have
O chance. The competition that is
thus proclaimed is just the place for
q hustler, but 1t is no place for one
who has any doubts about his ability.
Many a university graduate, who
has specialized in the humanities and
the cultural subjects offered by higher
education, will perhaps regret that he
has not specialized In business econom

this opening for talents. Most of the
colleges and universities are conduct

The Mexican Charges.

A situation of delicacy and diff
Guilty arises in the matter of the en-
deavor of the special Senate commit
tee just appointed to secure the pres
ence before 1t Of the Mexican consul
general at New York. Certain charges
have been made to the effect that
money was paid on behalf of the Next
can government to members of the
Senate, who have not yet been named,
in order to promote propaganda in
behalf of the administration at Mexico
City. It is alleged that the transaction
took place through the agency of the
consul general The Senate has with
propriety and justification sought to
ascertain the fact. and has summoned
that official to appear before the in
vestigating committee. The Ambassa-
dor for Mexico declares that the con.
sui general is immune from summons
by reason of his official position.
There is no treaty between the two
governments which specifically rem
ders its respective consular representa-
tives thus exempt from service for the
giving of testimony, but nevertheless
the exemption is claimed by virtue of
q general rule of immunity respecting
diplomatic and consular officers.
The Mexican government has spe-
cifically and repeatedly denied the
authenticity of the documents which
have been lately presented to Ameri-
can readers through newspaper publ.
cation, declaring them to be forgeries.
It would seem to be the most desirable
course for it to permit the attendance
Of its representatives before the Sen
ate committee of investigation. If
these documents are forgeries 1t now
has its opportunity to prove them to
be such. The Senate is quite within its
rights In taking cognizance of a charge
affecting the integrity of its own men,
bers. Indeed, 1t could not ignore that
charge. however it might doubt the
genuineness of the documentary ma
terial that has been laid before the
public. It cannot proceed with its in
vestigation effectively without the
presence Of those best qualified to
speak regarding the alleged transac-
lions. Refusal to permit service of
summons to appear before the investi-
eating committee. while possibly with
in the technical rights Of the Mexican
government, could not fail to be inter-
pret~5 as an avoidance Of this oppor-
tunity, leaving the matter in an indie
terminate state in which public senti-
Ynent would be likely to change from
skepticism to belief.

Citizens Are Advised
On Highway Payments
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
As the time Is short within which
the owners of property on L street

Twenty-second street northwest from
G to / streets, can pay bills lately
rendered them for replacing L ana
Twenty second streets northwest with

prevented from losing the money PAID
to the collector of taxes for assess
ments under the Borland act, the
writer advises those who at any time
do make payments for such assess,
ments to be sure to write with red
ink upon their assessment tax bills,
''This bill is paid under protest, by
me as owner or agent" signing their
names, to insure the return of money
so paid for work done under the Bor-
land act, restitution to be made upon
the fepealing of said Borland act.
Many of the owners in the old first
ward affected by the Borland act
will have the West End Citizens Asso-
citation take this matter up vigorously
at it's next meeting, which is sew
eral weeks off. and most too near
to January /, 1928, before which date
these bills must be paid. Hence it is
h0DeQ IndL you VIII at once give IhlS
matter all the publicity you can, so
that all affected by that act now
can protest, themselves, and tell
others how to do so, for the following
reasons:
This act unjustly causes the prop
erty owners repeatedly to pay for i'm
provements and repairs to sidewalks,
roadways, etc.
These streets, etc, belong to the
Federal Government and the District
of Columbia and not to the adjacent
property holders, they having once
been paid for under a former assess
ment plan by the present or former
owners.
Future improvements should be
paid for out of the general taxes as
has been the previous custom. The
property holders do not own or in any
way control, and in many instances
seldom use, the streets, roadways or
alleys.
The taxpayer can more easily pay
a small increase of a few dollars
now and then on his general taxes
than accept this method of a sudden
large special assessment or demand
all at one fell swoop, and on such
limited time to make payment, with
threats of penalties for non-payment,
especially as this work has once been
paid for and was so paid for all time
for said purposes by the present or
past owners. c. III. RAUB.
