still close to that Of Imperial Rome,

ian; Petrarch gave nearly all OF his
time TO classical scholarship, and
smiled superiority at those Italian
sonnet5 which have carried his
name and Lauras name down to
us, and set for so many centuries
the sonnet form; Dante wrote two
Significant treaties in Latin DE
MonarChia' and DE Vulgar; Flo
quentia "-"On the Speech Of the
People; but when the time came
for his masterpiece he chose his
native tongue, and gave to the
world a form Of beauty which it
had never had before.
The old and the new tongues
rivaled one another in both poetry
and prose. The Venerable Bede
wrote, in the eighth century, a.
Latin history of the Church Of
England. which is quite forgotten;
various saints wrote great Latin
Hymns, like the Dies Irae' and
the "Slabat Mater, which are kept
alive only by ritual o. music.
But Froissart wrote chronicles in
English, and De Joinville wrote
them in French. Peuarch sang
songs in Italian. and Walter Won
der Woeelwide sang them in Ger
man; Chaucer wrote tales in Eng
fish, and Boccaccio told them in
Italian; and all these men are liy-
ing gcniuses, whom any alert mind
could enjoy today.
Patriarch was the son of a Flor
entine who had been eXiled with
Dante; he was born at Are2zo in
1904, and became a poet because he
was made to study law against his
Will. He developed a passion for
collecting ancient and medieval
manuscripts, and spent his fortune
for them.
His love for Laura was but

Maybe THEY'LL Flv to School

Two children in middle western city recently
saved their pennies until they could pay for air
plane ride to nearby metropolis. They made the
trip, saw the sights and got back none the worse
sign Of the times, this. In the old days young
ster looked forward to going somewhere on the train.
Later he awaited the day when he could ride in
automobile. Now he looks to the sky.
We're progressing. If our children are growing
up to accept arplanes stable features of life you
imagine what aviation will be like twenty years

Justice That HAPPENS

Sometimes there is a sort Of rough justice in The
course of events, after all
Ohio recently sent three notorious murderers to
prison. Each was gunman of the worst type; in
each case a sentimental jury refused to vote the
death penalty but agreed wholly inadequate
prison term.
But these three murderers. not satisfied with that
tried at different times to escape from prison. And
each was shot to death in the attempt.
Sometimes, after all, the course of events brings
kind of rough justice.

Right Of Eree Speech

Free speech involves the same
kind of arguments, whether it is
a premier Of Spain muzzling the
press, or 2 veterinary clipping the
vocal chords Of dog.
People are for free speech when
it suits their fancy and conviction.
The man who keeps a dog TO watch
over his property wants nothing so
much as a good bark, and even
General De Rivera would find no
quarrel with the Spanish news
papers if they confined themselves
to praise Of his administration.

Editor Times:
May I say few things in observ-
ance Of Good Friday? Many people
Will let the day pass without a
thought as to what it means.
The whole community is upset
by the news of a murder. especially
If the victim is an innocent child.
1t is talked of for days and weeks.
But no murder could compare with
the suffering5 and death of Jesus
on the cross. He was as innocent
as any child.
So let us spend the three holy
hours from II to 3 p. m. in prayer
and meditation. Let us 90 with Our
Saviour OH this sorrowful journey.
Weakened by the scourging and
loss of blood, He falls three times
under the load of the heavy cross.
With each fall the crown of thorns
is driven deeper in the flesh and
increase His suffering.
Having arrived at Calvary, He is
stripped of His garments. How
painful must this have been. be-
cuSe they adhered to His wounded
and torn body ana with them parts
of His bloody skin were removed.
The place is dug for the cross.
The holes are made for the nails.
Jesus is rudely thrown upon the
cross and His hands and feet are
violently extended. The nails arc
driven through His delicate mem
bers. The bones are distended and
the nerves torn.
The cross is then dragged to the
pit and roughly let fall into It. The
jar Widens the wounds OF Jesus.
The eXcruciatinE agony is visible to
all. Oh! the sight of that facet
The agony Of it! The streaming
blood The crown Of thorns' The
eyes CLASSY with pain The parted
mouth, dry with the fever of
suffering!
Surely this picture is worthy Of
our consideration on this solemn
and holy Gay.

THE RISE or MODERN LIT

EIIATURE.
THIS extract from what was
i once supposed TO be Chaucer's
translation from the French, may
stand as evidence Of the rapid de-
velopment of the new languages OF
Europe into literary instruments,
The old Gothic dialects had slowly
developed into the powerful Ger
man which we shall see in the
mouth of Luther; the mingling of
the Angles, SaXons, Danes, and
Norman French in the making of
England was producing an English
which Chauccr would immortalize;
while in the Latin countries the old
Roman tongue had been broken
down and softened into the Rom
ance languages which were soon to
express the genius Of Dante and
Petrarch, Cervantes and Caleron,
Montaigne and Rebelais.
Already the time of Charlie

France had grown so different from

A German Bond Issue

Premier Poincare of France has
come around to the point where he
is willing TO consider O. German
bond issue for the purpose of paying
separations in cash.
The importance Of this ues in
the fact that it includes a willing
ness to reduce reparations by a vast
percentage.
If Germany pays in cash, the
amount will not be $4,000, 900, 900,
or anything like IT,
Americas interest in the PROPOSE
ton, however, comes a little closer
to home than that.
The allies can agree to reduce
reparations for cash in hand and
Germany can issue bonds without
our advice or assistance. but when
it comes to marketing those bonds,
we will be expected to do the buy

KiIIing the Noise

The value Of free speech does not
consist in the amusement or salts
faction it affords. but in the greater
understanding il brings about
through the clash and conflict OF
ideas.
Those who would suppress 1t be-
cause they do not like the noise,
or cannot brook opinions contrary
to their own fail 10 realize the
purpose it serves and the reason
why it should be tolerated.

No Beds for Homeless

Last Saturday night Health Com
missioner Harris closed four lodg-
ing houses for the homeless and un-
employed on the ground that they
were not 1T to sleep in A thousand
or more persons thus we're deprived
Of beds without warming and with
out the price to get them some
where else.
Some found shelter in the citys
lodging house, some begged the
necessary two bits and some sought
the park, the dump OF a back al
ley.
The argument cannot be ended by
asking whether a dirty bed is bet
ter than no bed at all.
Commissioner Harris is right OF
course, in doing everything possible
TO prevent the inception, or spread
of disease, but 1T seems as though
he might have found some way OF
cleaning up these houses without
closing them.

A Ii around these master songs
"a lowered the lighter verse Of
the troubadours. taking the hunger
of the body for body and spiritual
izing it with their poetry into the
thirst of soul for soul To these
singers love became a religion. with
its strict ritual and creed; they be-
lieved in love as an almighty power
and the highest god. no allegiance
could be loftier, and at the command
Of his lady the lover would even
blaspheme God.
Nor we're the laws of church and
State above this coming passion;
love was its own warrant, and
needed no legitimation from with
out; it might Overstep the restric-
ton monogamy without scruple if
love was real. Most Of the verse Of
the trOvatori, the trouvere5. and
the troubarourS is the voice OF what
recent morals called illicit passion;
as George Moore has put it, the
great principle of chilyaric love was
fidelity to another mans wife.
This poetry was written for fem
mime ears. and to console women
who had married wisely but not we'll
ladies whose husbands were titles
and lands rather than tircless lovers
1t was taken for granted that mar
rage would put an end to love any
way: therefore the troubadours
brought their lads and lassies not to
the altar but to the fields and forests
full Of pleasant secrecy.
A code of honor in this now dis
honorable devotion arose among
the poets and their readers and
great ladies like Eleanor of Aquit-
aine and Marie Of France held
court in their castles to settle dis
putes on subtle phases in the cas-
uistry Of lamour CourtOis, o.
courtly love.
In the end the sweet madness
came to a close of its own excess;
romance became to romantic to
have in it the blood of life; it
could fill volumes forever, but not
hearts The poets did not wait for
Cervantcs to demonstrate the alb
surdities of romance, they saw the
tragedy Of desire perhaps more
deeply than he. for in the midst
of their song they mourned the
brevity Of love.
TINE most characteristic ploduc-
i ton of Iamor courtois was the
Romance Of The Rose" Gull
laume de Lorris wrote its first and
finer parts in 1000 lines and then
died, jean dc Meung took up the
tale and added $4,000 lines; even
the most romantic soul must have
been satiated by the interminable
allegories of the Rose Of Love; but
note this strange passage. lurking
like some poison amid the flowers
OF Chivalric sentiment, and breath
ing a sadness which marks the end
of an age
