Bridges.

One does not need to be born poet
to appreciate bridges. The ordinary
man, who holds poets in certain con-
tempt, may be lyrically stirred by the
spectacle of fine span across a noble
river. The bridges of the Seine, the
bridges Of the Thames, the bridges of
the East River and the new bridge over
the Hudson have been praised by thou
sands of admirers. The bridges of
Washington also have been appreciated
When first It was built, Cabin John
Bridge was one of the wonders Of the
world.
The philosopher has observed that
bridges imply friendship. They can be
built only by friendly minds and hands.
Enemies do not bind themselves, cannot
bind themselves, in that way. So q
bridge is a symbol Of peace between
peoples, between communities, denoting
community Of interest. There Is at
least one fine bridge between the
United States and Canada, built to
celebrate, among other things, century
Of tolerance and cooperation.
But these, Of course. are physical
bridges, material bridges. What shall
be said of bridges bstween minds7 There

Anything, any one, however humble. 1t

one mind, one heart to another.
Builders OF bridges need not be en-
gineers. They may be mere laborers,
capable Of nothing more than the drag
ging and lifting Of stones. What is
necessary is the bridge building impulse.
The wish for the bridge is the
important thing, followed by the
translation of that wish, by pro-
cesses Of willing labor, into fact.
So, literally interpreted, the term may
be applied to any human creature who
sees and acts upon the opportunity to
cross over an obstacle by the construc-
tion of a made-to-order path. Between
man and man, between the individual
and the community, between States and
nations, chs acles stand-the obstacles
of nature, of ignorance, Of fear. But
bridges will solve the problem. There
fore, more bridges are called for, and
better bridges. And as the builders of
bridges are blessed, so there must be
a special punishment in store for any
wrecker Of bridges already built. if any
such anarch there be.

The Word Too Much.

When Benjamin Disraeh, more than
fifty years ago, in a public address in
London described political opponent
as "a sophistical rhetorician, inebriated
with the exuberance of his own YER
boeity," he sounded a warning to all
campaign takers. Gov. Roosevelt might
we'll have borne in mind and followed
this admonition when he was address
ing the multitude at Baltimore on Tues
day night. The crowd was partisan and
friendly and enthusiastic, applauding
his rounded periods, roaring in approval
at his excavations of the Republican
party, and shrieking in acclaim Of his
promise of immediate beer. In that at
mosphere Of appreciation and indorse-
ment he made the mistake that has so
often before been made by speakers who
are carried away by their own eloQuence.
He departed from his prepared text,
which had passed the test of the cen
serious scrutiny of his advisers, and in
Aerpoiated q few words to give q little
more punch to his attack.
In his charge Of complete Republican
responsibility for the present condition
Of the country Gov. Roosevelt had writ
ten and was about to say: After March
4. 1929. the Republican party was in
complete control of all branches Of the
Government" Then that mischievous
imp of exuberance caused him to ap-
pend these words to his statement:
And I may add for full measure. to

concrete evidence of the veterans pow
erty before the public in these days OF
the depression until their sufferings are
alleviated. Strangely enough, however,
though most of the former soldiers and
their families are in the same circum-
stances economically. but 25 900 at most
have shown sufficient interest In their
own miseries to participate in the DEM
onstration, which so far seems to have
evoked little. sympathy, either political
or social Even the severe methods used
to expel the veterans and their families
from the Capital have occasioned little

Mexico Celebrates
Agriculture Day.
El Universal, Mexico, D. F.-Tomor-
row will wend through the principal
streets Of the capital the professional
pageant in honor of the day of national
agriculture, industry and commerce.
One hundred and f1fty-eight floats will
present, in series of beautiful allegori-
cal tableaux, scenes showing the prog
ress of each activity from the earliest
days Of the nation down to the present
time. The whole program will be under
the direction Of the General Commit
tee for National rehabilitation and is ex-
pected to be the most colorful and
splendid spectacle ever provided for the
public Of this capital. National f,lnc-
tionaries and groups of every descrip-
ton will take part In the presenta-
ton, from the highest governmental
and legislative officials to the tiniest of
school children. Bands Of music will be
interspersed throughout the parade in
such fashion that music will be playing
continuously for the further edif1cation
Of all observers. In all. 20 divisions will
participate in the manifestation, which
in its entirety will show what Mexico
has been in the days of the aborigines,
what she has been in the course Of our
glorious national history and what she
may expect to be If she adheres to the
policies of justice and progress for hui
rranity that have marked and distin-
guished her development through the
past glorious centuries of her history.

SHOOTING STARS,
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Freedom Of Speech.
How many hours he passed. this youth
Who thought with earnest care,
In search Of every subtle truth
Which makes existence fairl
How often, with a fond distain
Al years passed on their way,
He wished, though wishing proved in
vain,
That he could have his say!
In course Of time occasion came
That let him speak at will.
And praise was mingled with much
blame,
As listening crowds he'd thrill,
But life its disappointment brings
And fills the days with dread.
He now keeps thinking Of the things
He'd rather not have said.
