Forced Education.

In these days of airplanes and radios
1t is difficult to believe that there is
any citizen Of the good old United
States who has never seen a train or
an automobile. Such person, how
ever, has just made his appearance in
Eluefeld, w. Va, and, strange as 1t
may seem, his sight of these modern
miracles was not taken voluntarily.
1t would naturally be supposed
that never having seen such com.
monplaces as the automobile and train
trip to city would be made
with the idea Of broadening the
education. ~but George Dunford, the
man in question, would probably have
spent the rest of his life without
bothering to make such an expedition

found a large still near his home at

Sheer Arrogance.

For a demonstration of sheer AFRO
gance and incompetence to drive an
automobile there has probably never
been a more fragrant case than that OF
the Countess Of Kinnoull, who was ar
rested recently in London. This affair
has drawn international attention be
cause Of it's unusual aspects. The
countess. a short time ago, was ar.
rested for dangerous driving shortly
after she had told a pedestrian to Go
to hell" when he complained that sh
had nearly run over him. Taken to
court she was found guilty, fined one
hundred dollars and barred from driv.
ing in Great Britain for three years.
She has just announced through her
attorney that she is unaffected by the
entire affair, as she does not care to
drive again in England, but will take
her cars to the Continent.
England is undoubtedly pleased to
get rid OF this undesirable person. and
Londoners are probably hoping that
she will never return. The Judge s
action was probably the wistest
under the circumstances, but it does
seem that a Jail term for this person
might have resulted in the saving OF
few continental lives.

Charles A. Levine, the first trans
atlantic airplane passenger, has de-
cided to call it a day and come home
to the dear old United States. The
compelling reason for his change in
plans--he expected to stay for some
time longer in Europe-was the crash
o: his aerial taxi, the Columbia, in
which he made the overseas trip. The
plane was SO badly damaged in n
forced landing that Levine ordered it
Grated to be sent home.
The aviator-passenger has had an
adventurous time since that morning
some months ago when he scared out
through the mist over the ocean with
Clarence Chamberlin as his pilot and
Germany as his destination. He has
had quarrels with several pilots whom
he successfully selected to bring him
back across the ocean; he has made a
hazardous solo flight over the English
Channel; he has been feted through
out Europe, and has met Mussolini
and has been received by the Pope.
What more could an adventurous
spirit ask?
The city of New York Is determined
to accord him official honors when he
returns home. That is all right, for
whatever else is said of Levine no
one can deny that he has a full share
Of pluck and that he has furnished, in
many Of his escapades, a comedy re-
| lief for the serious art of flying.

A Routine Stem.

The Treasury Departments action
yesterday in ordering increased duties
on a list Of French imports, equal to
increases fixed by France on similar
American products, is n routine step
which has little or no bearing on the
tariff dispute now in progress between
the two nations. The goods affected
came within a list of those to which
the "countervailing" principle of tariff
rates Is applied. The list is small
one, comprising not many more than
a dozen different commodities. Changes
in rates brought about by raising or
lowering the duties on these COM
n1odities on the part of one country
act automatically to change the rates
proportionately in the other country
France notified the United States Of
changed rates on a few commodities
brought about through the recently
effective Franco-German commercial
treaty. The rates on these commodi-
ties were automatically changed by
the United States.

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

AS I read the many modern attacks
on the theory and practice OF democ-
racy, hear in them a strangely remi-
niscent note. sounded by earlier men
in earlier decades and earlier centuries.
Let me match Mr.. Mencken's latest
with this statement from Animel's
Journal under date of June 81, 1871:
"Wisdom. which means balance and
harmony, Is only met with in individ-
uals.
Democracy, which means the rule
Of the masses, gives preponderance to
instinct, to nature, to the passions
that is to say. to blind impulse. Per-
petual vacillation between contraries
becomes it's only mode Of progress. be-
cause it represents that childish form
of prejudice. which fails in love and
cools, adores and curses, with the
same haste and unreason. A success
sion of opposing follies gives an i'm
preston Of change which the people
readily identify with improvement.
1T is not that / deny the right of
democracy, but l have no sort of illu-
sion as to the use it will make of it's
right, so long, at any rate, as wisdom
is the exception and conceit the rule.
Numbers make law, but goodness
has nothing to do with figures. Democ-
racy rests upon this legal fiction, that
the majority has not only force but
reason on it's side-that it possesses
not only the right to act but the wis
dom nee essary for action. The fiction
is dangerous because of it's flattery;
the demagogues have always f1attered
the private feelings of the masses.
Democracy will finally make itself
absurd by handing over the decision
of all that is greatest to all that is
most incapable.
Democracy abstract principle of
equality dispenses the ignorant man
from the necessity of self-training, the
foolish man from that of self judg-
ment. and tells the child that there is
no need for him to become man. and
the good -for-nothing that elfimprove-
ment is of no account.
It would be a distinct service for
some one to give us an exhaustive
compilation of the sober judgments
Of sober observers on democracy
through the centuries, from the Greek
philosophers down.
Democracy does need to diagnose
itself, and such a book would help in
the diagnosis. The regrettable thing
is that as we reawaken to some of
the Weaknesses of democracy. that
men of other generations saw in adj
vance. we are doing the intellectually
lazy thing of going over bag and bag
gage to relationships. now mild and
mighty. when we should be rethinking
the whole theory of democracy.
My guess is that the future belongs
to a revision of democracy, not to a
rejection of democracy.

that the American policy is one OF
reciprocity: "They go up. we go up;
they go down, we go down." This
view. IL correctly stated, will be OF

Mexico's Revolt" Questioned.

Some suspicion has been expressed
regarding the verify of the military
mutiny in Mexico, in the course of
which Gems. Serrano and Gomez, can.
didates for the presidency in oprosi-
ton to Obregon. have been eliminated
1t is intimated that there was in fact
no actual revolt, but that the whole
affair was staged by the Mexican gov
eminent as means Of getting rid of
two troublesome aspirants. Serrano
has been captured. tried by court.
martial and executed. Gomez has
been pursued and at latest accounts.
surrounded. and it is likely that in a
short time he will have suffered the
same fate. If the revolution was n
fact plot on the part Of the Gales
government to insure clear field for
Oregon it has undoubtedly been sue
cessful
But there is no reason to question
the good faith Of the Mexican govern
ment in this matter. The fact that a
rigid censorship has been established
at Mexico City, and that news filters
through It only in consonance with
the governments wishes, may have
inspired the idea that the mutiny was
a frame-up. But there has beeI con-
firmation of the official accoun : Of
recent happenings. There is evidence
that Gems. Serrano and Gomez led
their troops out Of barracks without
orders and started a revolution. Had
they not been presidential candidates
their action would have been COM
paratively insignificant. 1t was their
political status that gave the revolt
it's chief meaning.
The history of Mexico is replete
with instances of troublesome persons
who have been caught in arms against
the government, and, while being held
prisoner, put out Of the way under
the law Of escaping fugitives." Por.
firio Diaz applied this procedure to
rid himself Of troublesome enemies.
But of late years this process Of
elimination has been less frequently
applied. and there is reason to doubt
the suggestion that Serrano and
Gomez have been the victims of the
fugitive penalty.
The enterprise of Gomez and Ser
rano. seeking to start a revolution
with less than a thousand men. was
a desperately hopeless one. But it
may be that they were deluded by the
belief that disaffection was prevalent
in the army, and that the mutiny of
these forces under their personal com.
mand would be the signal for a general
walkout by the federal troops. Many
a revolution in Latin America has
been started with such slender mate
rial, and some Of them have succeed
ed. But Mexico has gained in sta
bility in the last few years. Elections
by orderly process. though not yet
developed to the point Of full depend.
ability, are sufficiently established to
put heavy discount on the old meth
cd of political changes through re-
volt. While it is deplorable that blood
should be shed, the sacrifice Of these
two men. and perhaps some Of their
followers, may be regarded as the in.
cidental cost of constitutional prcce.
dure in the neighboring republic. Ger
tainly the fate Of Serrano and Gomez
should serve to assure an orderly
election, the results Of which will be
accepted by the Mexican people with
out mi tant reaction.

no action which will tend to lower
them can have other than an unfor-
tunate effect. This conviction is there
fore hardened to the belief that these
living standards must be protected
against lower wage scales and living
standards, and the American people
have indicated their intention to pay
the price of that protection. When
there is equality of wage scales and
living standards. American manufac.
turers will not be disposed to ask for

"Smithy" Anvil Still Rings
In Auto Age, Press Declares

American industry is quick to adapt
itself to new conditions, and there re-
mains the American horse, which is
not proceeding to become extinct
nearly so rapidly as was prophesied a
few years ago." And the ASheville
Times adds: "Geologists tell us that
the horse as a creature is about $1,000
900 years old. He has, therefore. had
some opportunity to struggle With en-
vironment, either favorable or unfa-
vorable. No doubt he will still be
here and thousands of village and city
hlacksnfiths will still be shoeing horses
long after the automobile has been
displaced by the airplane as mans
favorite medium of locomotion."
X X X y
With a response to the request of
the horseshoers and blacksmiths that
the information he broadcast that
"the blacksmith has not gone the way
of the spreading chestnut tree" the
Binghamton Press remarks: Few
modern employments give man the
sense of being his own master as did
the blacksmiths trade. Few men to-
day who are forced to earn Eveli-
hood have so good an opportunity to
work at their own sweet WILL at their
own pace. and in their own fashion.
1t is good news to know the Smithy is
still with us and intends to stay. even
if the pleasant shop of the mighty
arm and the falling hammer and the
pungent Odor of singed hoofs is not so
easily found in village and city as in
years gone by"
For the old blacksmith shop was a
pleasant place" observes the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle. ''as many a man who
used as a boy to stop on his way home
from school to watch the hammer fall
and the sparks fly will recall.
The smiths work seemed to keep him
both hearty and jolly, and what more
can one ask of ones job? He still
lives, it seems, and long may he con.
tinue to do so, despite the mechanical
horse with rubber Shoes
The Chicago Daily News sees "end.
less automobiles to be mended," and
adds: "Joyriders who wreck their
cars, break the springs or fracture
other parts, as many do in reckless
driving, make more welding jobs than
were dreamed Of in the old horse-and-
buggy days. In relatively few cases
did blacksmiths permit themselves to
he frightened out Of business by the
automobile. Most of them went along
with it, and they find in automobile
repair work more profit than was ever
to be made out of shoeing horses"

that George now knows what the au
tomobile and train look like.
Education, however acquired, Is a
valuable asset. but George at this
time probably does not agree. If he Is
convicted of the charge of making
corn he will have n further oppor'
tunity of delving into the intricacies
of modern civilization. Perhaps there
will be a radio In the steam heated
electric. lighted prison to which he is
sent, and 1t is not beyond the bounds
Of reason that at exercise time he may
see an airplane overhead. Whether or
not George will appreciate this broad.
ening of his education is moot ques-
ton, but he will have plenty to talk
about when he gets back home,
and perhaps he may inspire desire
on the part of his friends and rela-
tives to see something Of the outside
world, which cannot fail to aid them
even if they do it the way George did.
