None but the Brave.

From the New York Herald Tribune.
There is hardly a more ambiguous
word than modern" the writer OF an
article On Being Modern" in the New
English Weekly. said recently. "As it
has never been properly defined, it is
vague enough to be applied to any
thing" 1t does heavy duty in place Of
the word fashionable" he points out =:
and how easy it is to prove the point by
recollecting much that has been called
modern with great JUNCTION in the last
10 or IS years. the highly perishable
goods. now neither modern, ancient nor
medieval, which have become merely
stale in such short whilel
Where. for instance. is the modern
istic art" that was launched at the
Paris Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in
1925 and feverishly overadvertised for
several years thereafter? What of the
modern dance. as We called 1t with
shining ewes seven years ago? Picture
its contortionS on dance floor today,
if need be, to date it in that most dis
tant past Of recently outWorn fash
ions. Modern music and modern art
may have given lis some masters, for
all We know; but in so far as they were
bruited as modern and popularity ac-
cepted as such they are buried in the
discard Of postwar fads. awaiting
resurrection in the test Of time.
The very word modern" one Of the
brightest and dearest in our vocabulary
only the other day, with her short skirt
and studied impudence, is now decided
ly down at heel. Do We speak of our
selves complacently any longer as I'VE
modernS"?
No; and this brave age, we have dis
covered as raw recruits going into ac-
ton for the first time often do, is no,
quite the easy opportunity for display
of nonchalance that we took it for ir
1922. We have fallen for" the fact
we moderns, that, after all, We are only
the most recent arrivals in history: thai
our new age calls for stout heart
We shall boast of being modern agar
when we have more to boast about.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.
A SOulfulneSS

A SOulfulneSs.
NY soul grew sad one gloomy day.
Ard fretted through the night.
It clothed itself in shadows gray,
And Stunned the golden light.
It trod the great eternal strand,
Where times vast billows beat;
And saw lifes aspirations grand
In wreckage at its feet.
NV soul Jared forth on fragile bark,
Where mists their palor fling.
And paused a little while to mark
The songs that sirens sing.
1t struggled 'gainst the waves and bea'
Against the rocks so gray,
And longed for nothingness complete;
Yet was compelled to stay.
Ny doctor then went to see
And told what I endured.
A liver pill he handed me
And, 10, my soul was cured!

nomination to the homecoming Walker?
Did they really hope that he would ac-
cept. and conduct such a campaign as
he describes in his message of declina-
ton. and that that campaign would do
the Democratic ticket mo good? They
are astute politicians. They either knew
that Mr.. Walker would not accept, or
they accompanied their message of pro-
posal by covering" message Of advice
that he decline. Unless they really
hoped he would take the nomination
and run. in his own way, and thereby
do the Democratic national ticket mo
good" 1t will be interesting to have
this crossword puzzle solved as mat
ter Of political history.
The highest court in the State has
decreed. without discussion, that the
election must be held for the unexpired
term. Acting Mayor Mckee has no
chance whatever Of being elected as a
fusion candidate. The leader Of his
Bronx district has subscribed to the
nomination of Surrogate O'Brien. He
will drop back into his role of president
Of the Board of Aldermen and the husi-
ness of the big city will be carried on as
usual for another year, probably with
the Mckee economies Cancelled and
everything conducted in accordance
with the established Tammany rules of
procedure.
But there is blood on the face of the
moon. nevertheless. Leader Curry of
Tammany has now suffered two defeats,
one at Albany, where Lehman was
nominated for Governor against his
opposition, and another at the hands
of the Governor and his victim, the
former mayor. in the matter of the
tender and the refusal of denomination
for the city's highest of1ice. Veracious
reports Of private conferences on the
subject Of the Tammany leadership
would make mighty interesting reading.

Confidence.
It is not to the friend We strive to show
Our courage and our strength, but to
the foe,
Or to the stranger, passing on his way,
Who seeks to overwhelm with proud
display.
But, as in childhood, when the day was
through.
In loving faith We turned to those We
knew,
Only to those We love may we confess
The nights foreboding and the weari-
ness.

ITO the Members of the ~
Democratic National Committee:
Your committee believes that
the best interests of the democratic
party can be conserved by having
due time given to the important
question OF projecting a proper
party platform. Tt Is, of course,
understood that the Committee on
Platform and Resolutions cannot
be authoritatively created until the
convention meets; on the other
hand, 1T has been the uniform
practice of the conventions to con-
firm the Individual members of
such committee as recommended
by the various state delegations.
Any conclusions arrived at, in adj
vance of the creation by the con-
vention of the Committee on~Plat-
form and Resolutions and its meet
ing as a formally constituted body
following such creation, can be
only tentative and advisory It
seems obvious, however, that by
meeting in advance of the conyen-
ton informally and professionally
much of the arduous work of the
committee can be performed prior
to the convention itself with bene-
fetal results to the platform which
which is ultimately to be prepared
for the consideration of the con-
vention, and would thereby con-
serve the time and energies of the
members of the committee during
the actual period of the convention
when the definitive work of the
committee is performed, after it's
formal election by the convention
itself. tJOUETT SHOUSE,
