Friendship.

Those who are fond Of household pets
will applaud the decision Of local fam
lily to keep their two parrots, despite the
prevalence Of the so-called parrots
disease"
There is no evidence to date to show
that this malady may be contracted
from birds which have been under OBJ
servation for many months. The par
rot is VIGOROUSLY long-lived; many of
them live to a century; they become
veritable members of a family.
The trait of loyalty to friends is
beautiful, whether those friends be four
footed, two-legged, furred or feathered.
Love is of the heart, rather than Of
the mind; intelligence has little if any,
thing to do with it. Thus many a man
loves his dog. in his heart Of hearts,
better than any human being.
No doubt there are many persons who
would refuse to give up their parrot
friends even If they knew that they
might risk infection. Where there is
public hysteria, even though sensible,
such stand takes bravery of sort.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

Benjamin Franklin was quoted In this
column recently as follows: Il never
use, when I advance anything that may
possibly be disputed, the words GER
tainly, undoubtedly or any other words
that give the air Of positiveness TO an
opinion"
What would be the great Americans
amazement, we believe. II he could see
| the advertisement of Bernard Fay's
/ Franklin, the Apostle Of Modern
Times" which appeared In q New York
paper.
The following kind words were re-
printed as a part Of the ad:
The Saturday Review of Literature
"Incomparably the best biography OF
| Franklin"
ably the best biography OF Franklin"
The American Undoubted-
~ the best biography Of Franklin"
We have not read M. Fay's book, but
we hope it Is as good as the critics say
1t Is. Incomparably unquestionably and
undoubtedly, they declare, it is the best
thing on the life of Franklin which ever
came down the pike.
Evidently these reviewers either never
read Franklin's own little book (the in
comparable autobiography or else
they do not agree with him In regard
to the advisability of refraining from
the use of dogmatic expressions.
X n X y
1t seems to us that no book reviewer
has any right to use such big words as
undoubtedly" or "incomparably," or
'unquestionably"
Granted that the biography of Frank
lin under discussion is all of that, how
can any one say that some one else
simply must agree with him in mat
ter OF Judgment? He may make the
claim, but 1t need not necessarily be
settled forthwith. At the least, 1t might
be upset tomorrow by the publication
of another and superior life of Frank
lin.
We think pretty highly of Matthew
Josephson's "zola and His Time" as
readers here know, but no one has ever
heard US calmly telling the world that
1t Is unquestionably, or incomparably, or
undoubtedly the best biography" of the
great French writer. How could we say
that? Only those who pretend to ON
niscience dare to use such words. There
have been many biographies Of Emile
lola written since his death, in 1894.
Most Of them are In French. Perhaps
one of them Is far superior to that Of
Josephson. We don't know, and until we
did know we would have no right to
hazard even an opinion.
One cannot get over the feeling that
any one who has recourse to such posi-
tivisms as undoubtedly" Is very much
in doubt in his own mind. Think how
much more effective the "blurbs" about
Fay's book would have been If set down
in this sterling simplicity:
The Saturday Review of Literature
1.-THE best biography Of Franklin"
James Truslow Adams-"The best BIZ
ography Of Franklin"
The American Mercury-"The best
biography of Franklin"
X r
Heavy-handed plaudits from the side
lines, even from such literary spectators
as Mr.. Adams, leave one longing for
more moderate criticism, something
along the old-tirne lines.
We would prefer heavy" article on
new book to one Of these flip ire
views" In which the writer seems to
have one eye on pleasing Mr. Mencken
in Baltimore and the other on the
bright boys along Broadway.

be the unspoken question of so many

The Vacant Chief Justiceship.

member Of the Supreme Court Of the
District Of Columbia, Justice Wendell
Phillips Stafford is now strongly in

retirement Of Judge Mccoy. In addi-
ton, citizens of Washington, long ac-
quainted with Judge Stafford's abilities
as jurist, are hopeful that this recog-
milton Of his merits may be given
through his promotion. He has, during
his quarter of century Of service on
the local bench, displayed an excep-
tional capacity. He very soon, upon
coming to this position from the YER
mont Supreme Court, won the conf
dence and the esteem of the local
community. He demonstrated his grasp
of the fundamental principles of the
law and quickly gained the mastery Of
the complicated system OF jurispru-

elected, but voting solidly against the

Journal independently contends that
1.-THE only mistake Senator Smoot made
was when he yielded In his fight" The

great mass of the Republican voters

trolling leaders in the Senate, and con-
cludes: "Puncture Smoot and you pune
ture about the only vestige OF leadership

mittee with whole paper OF pins for

The fight impresses the st. Louis

phasizing 1.-The widening rift between
the industrial and agricultural elements

that 1.-THE conservative leaders were
forced to let La Toilette in" The
Kansas City Times independently Is
convinced that at Is reasonable to give

A book review, to be book review

If book review can give the reader

driver. especially when the motorist
ahead is using what is known as q
rich" mixture. In changing the
monoxide gas into harmless emission
from the exhaust and in generally puri-
flying the air a difference should be
noted in driving In congested traffic.
DR.. Frazer's invention, when adapted
to use on all cars, will be foolproof. The
individual driver will have no control
over IL whatever. That is one Of its
best features, because even with the
catalyst attached there would still be
motorists who would forget to put it
into operation when danger threatened.
All in all, 1t would appear that another
notable step forward has been taken in
the preservation of human life.

The Exhaust Purifier.

The invention Of a simple device for
automobiles which converts the deadly
nonoxide gas into harmless carbon
dioxide has been announced by DR.. j.

at Johns Hopkins University. In ap-
pearance much like the conventional
automobile mufier, the catalyst u at
tached to the exhaust pipe Of the car,
and on the same principle as the gas
mask strains" the heavy fumes that
pass through It, In making his inven-
ton public Dr. Frazer stresses the fact
that while tests have proved It's prac-
ticability the apparatus Is still in bulky
form and must be refined and o place
found for II on the automobile before
it will come into everyday use. DR.
Frazer's catalyst, with which ne hat
conducted extensive experiments, u
placed on the running board, but he, in
common with others, is Of the opinion
that it can be adapted to some part o.
the exhaust pipe underneath the car.
The Importance Of this invention car

fact that this is a "motor-wise" age

The Opera CiIasa.

The Opera Glass.
We view life through an opera glass,
Observing all the faults that pass;
The human conscience to modest.
Our own, as well as all the rest.
The faults Of others will appear,
Seen one way, very large and clear.
We speak with sorrow quite profound
And then we turn the glass around.
Our own faults thus we dimly see.
All far away they seem to be,
And so exceptionally small
They really shouldn't count at all.
