One noted psychologist surveys the
race OF men and decides that there are
three, and only three, great instincts:
The ego instinct, the herd instinct and
the sex instinct. Every other instinct
Is some dertvative of these or some
combination of the derivatives taken
two or three or four at time. Such
a theory, OF course, paves the way for
ABOUT any explanation you want to
make in regard to human conduct.
The whole trouble with instinct psy-
chology is the plain fact that there are
no real instincts.
What for so many years was called
instinct is now said to be extinct. The
reason isn't far to seek. Psychology is
now on the outside looking in, rather
than on the inside looking out. It has
begun to put the emphasis where 1t be-

People don't do what they do because
they are urged from within, but be-
cause they are driven from without. In
other words, ones environmental stu
atoms are more impelling than ones
Unborn drives. If we knew more about
the world In which given individual
lives, we would have less use for all
these so-called instincts which were
once accepted without question.

Egret was prepared to fight. He knew
just how dangerous that bill was. It
wouldn't do to let Egret strike him

all. What could he do to avoid it?

over his head"
Farmer Browns Boy thought for
minute or two and then grinned, as he
began to pun his shirt OF. He would
throw that shirt over Egret's head and
then would be able to seize him and
hold onto that long bill OF course
Egret didn't know what Farmer
Browns Boy was planning to do. He
looked as fierce as he knew how and as
Farmer Browns Boy drew near he
struck once like a flash. Farmer
Browns Boy lodged and then tossed
Egret tried and tried to shake it of.
He twisted and turned and he tapped
his one good wing, but it was all in
vain. In spite of his struggles, Farmer
Browns Boy soon had him in his
arms.
Its all right" said Farmer Browns

Fellow. I'm not going to hurt you.

Egret is no coward. Had 1t not
been for that shirt which covered his
head and, therefore, made it impos-
Sible for him to use that great bill of
his, he would have fought as long as
he had breath. But when he realized
how helpless he was, he stopped strug-
Cling. That was the wise thing to do.
There was nothing to be gained by
struggling helplessly.
Farmer Browns Boy took great care
not to hurt that injured wing as he
gathered Ewet in his arms. He kept
the shirt over Egret's head until he
got good grasp Of that long bill with
one hand. Then he shook the shirt
loose, so that 1t would not smother the
big white bird.

Well see what we can do for that

while. You'll have to be prisoner un-

SUB ROSA
Marriage and Foot Ball.

At a recent conference of clergyn1en
a speaker said that marriage should be
more than a foot ball game. In other
words, he insinuated that marriage was
foot ball game. 1t seems to Inc that
he took pesSimistic view of the situa-
ton and that his comparison was in
accurate.
Foot ball is my favorite sport. Leav-
ing aside the fine points of the game, I
like the glamour Of it, But there are
some very great differences between
foot ball and marriage.
In foot ball there are cheer leaders
on the side lines. I should say that
there are jeer leaders In the sphere OF
matrimony. OF course, we ought TO
boost marriage instead Of knocking 1t.
But the old maid who can't get married
knocks it, the divorce who has made .
fizzle of 1t knocks 1t, the unhapplly
married couple knocks it. Altogether
the jeers far outnumber the cheers.
AS q matter of fact, there Is nothing
wrong with marriage itself. AS an In
stitution 1t has endured since the dawn
of human relations. 1t will endure until
the end in spite of chronic critics. The
trouble is with individuals who fall to
measure up to 1t.
OF course, kicking is prominent
feature of foot ball as well as In some
marriages. But kicking Is o universal
failing-whether married or unmarried
We all kick a little.
It is only when the traces are kicked
over that a marriage results In an I'M
happy failure. This Is generally done
by young people who marry too soon, or
by middle-aged people who act like i'm
mature and irresponsible youngsters,
and the latter are more Of menace 70
matrimonial happiness than the young
sters, for there is some hope for the
immature, but very little for the others
1t seems to me that the so-called
divorce problem" will exist as long as
human beings marry. After all, human
beings are human beings. The imper-
fectionS of human nature in ordinary
mortals will, unfortunately, continue to
result in divorces.
Judges, lawyers and the social scien-
lists of the world have attempted to
solve the problem, with little success.
To be successful would require them to
possess the ability to make human ma
ture perfect.
If marriage were more like Q foot
ball game-if there were penalties for
playing "offside'-it seems to me we
would more often reach the goal Of
happiness.

A Breach VIII Come

In the congressional elections this year, there
probably viii be more independent voting than there
has been in such Citations III many years for the vets
are adopting the familiar tactics Of the An-Saloon
League and many will vote vets rather than as
Democrats or Republicans.
IN some places where both the old party nominees
are dry. there may be a third nominee, 40 will be
supported by the vets. IN states where both old
parties are considered reactionary. third liberal
party may be started
In New York the liberal forces in the Republican
party are led by former United States Senator Wads-
worth. who was beaten for reelection by the dry
forces putting up independent dry candidate This
resulted in the election Of a Democrat, Senator
Wagner. who fully wet as Wadsworth.
But it was rule or ruin so far the Anti-Saloon
League was concerned. 1t preferred vet Democrat
to a Republican who wouldn't take orders from the
Anti-saloon League Now Wadsworth is fighting back.
The Republican party is controlled by the Republic
an Anti-saoon League. But so is the Democratic
party. The league backed By associated dry organ
izations is political holding company of the two old
parties. It's general policy is TO control Democratic
nominations and then throw its strength to the Re
publican nominees whose nominations it also dictates
1t might well be conceded that the Anti
League lobby about the bunch of politicians
that ever infested American politics-too smart for
the leaders OF both old parties But it is essentially
Republican and has controlled American politics In
the interest of the Republican party ever since It
made a deal with Harry Daugherty and helped nomi
nate and elect Warren Harding President
1t even controlled Democratic congress when
Wilson was President; and the late Wayne Wheeler
had more influence with that Democratic congress
than President Wilson had. In a series OF articles
written by Wheeler for the New York Times in 1926,
he Dragged about how he dictated to a Democratic
congress over Wilson's head. He also Dragged about
how he made Harding quit drinking.
But worst of all. the Anti-Saoon League became
the most effective political lobby that big business
ever bought and paid for. But it delivered the
goods-and practically put Jeffersonan democracy,
the bill Of rights and the Democratic party in the
discard.
1t wasn't the earnest contributions Of the sincere
church members that put prohibition over; it was the
big money contributed by big business.
But organization is fighting organization.
There are organizations just capable and just
heavily financed which going to fight the devil
with fire this year. That is they going up against
the AntiSaloon League; and before they get through
one old party the other is going under.
One party will become liberal there will be a
party made up of the liberals in both old parties
There must be some place where the liberals both
parties can CO. They not happy where they are;
and they getting mighty tired Of towards in both
old parties.
