ROME, April 1.-THE new italian
Academy of 80 members like its elder
sister, the French Academy. is already
coming in for considerable underground
criticism, not so much because OF the
choice of It's components, but OF the
notable omissions in its makeup.
Even as the French Academy in the
late ninetieS refused to admit Emile
lola, the great realistic novelist; AL
pfionse Daudet. some of whose works
circled the globe in all civilized Ian
guages, and Frederic Mistral. the
mighty bard of Provence, the Italian

Senator Benedetto Croce, eminent
historian of modern Italy, founder of
his own school Of philosophical think

omitted. Likewise Is Giovanni Papini,
whose Life Of Christ" published first
in 1920, is still the topic of discussion
among intellectualS the world over.
The remaining two of the half dozen

Papini, his "Storia di Cristo," perhaps
the most daring work on the character

have brought him under the ban.
Ojetti's exclusion Is harder to ex-
plain, seeing that he Is art critic Of the

ism cannot be questioned. Benelli,
twice wounded in the war, holder OF the
silver medal for valor and one OF the
crusaders of the Fiunle expedition, has
for some time been completely divorced

NEWARK, n. j., April IL
Lehigh University freshmen have
appealed to New Jersey police to

excited, disheveled and hand-

The freshmen's anxiety is due
to the fact that the fugitive in
question is acting president OF the
sophomore class at the university.
Kidnapped by the freshmen, he
escaped from the automobile in
which he was being conveyed to
parts sufficiently distant from the
campus to establish his--and his
class-inferiority and, incidently,
to prevent his attendance at a
sophomore banquet.

Helpful criticism stimulates busi-
ness, politics and religion. Often
people are harsbhly criticized for
speaking their honest conviction and
are called kickers in religious work,
which is very unfair, as every one is
entitled to think and speak accord
ing as he or she may see the truth.
In referring to the life of Jesus, we
find he was a kicker" against
wrong-doing. When he visited the
Temple, he found condition that
was unhealthy to the religious life
of Israel, and he kicked about it,,
and drove the money changers and
gamblers out of the house of God.
If we are to stand for righteousness,
we will always be called kickers. If
any one wishes to be known as one
that never kicks, he or she is not in
the category of normal christian
experience, as about the only ones
who do not kick are dead ones, and
the same have no place in business,
politics or religion. Wrong should
be exposed with the strong lights of
the gospel at all times and in all
