LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson =

but for the most part he's as
torpid as a turnip. His body
continues to function but his
mind and feelings loaf on the
job.
And this is both natural and
necessary. Thinking and feel
ing are comparatively new
job for the human animal. He
has had walking legs and Strik-
ing fists and a hungry stomach
for a very long time, but "he
has had thoughts, emotions
and self consciousness for a
comparatively short time. And
they are not an unmitlgated
blessing.
Thinking and feeling are a
tiresome, often a painful busi-
ness. The body rebels against
that business. It wants to do
the things that are easy to
do-things it can do without
planning, without making de-
cisions. It wants to lie in the
sun. and eat, and sleep, and
fight, and make love. All of
these things can be done with
little thought or feeling as an
animal does them. And we
humans are still nine-tenths
brute.
Why do you have moods?
That's why.
The Jungle Self
Because the mental side of
you, still so new at its job,
goes on a strike. Temporarily
YOU revert to your stupid, happy,
lazy jungle self.
But is there no cure for that?
Probably not, within the next
million or so years.
And why should there be a
cure?
Why this frantic desire to
"think and feel all the time
this constant, hysterical search
for thrill?
That's because we want to
live in high! We refuse to be
dead ones. We moderns are live
wires"
Piffle! We moderns are
nothing of the sort. We merely
have the nervous jitters, and
most of our so-called thoughts
and feelings are as Senseless
and aim1ess as monkeys chat
ter.
Our trouble is not that we
can't use our brains all the
time, but that we seldom use
them ANY OF THE TIME!
Don't rebel because there are
times when you can't think or
feel. That is natural. 1t is the
penalty of being that new crea-
ture, a human being.
Ask, rather, that you may
make good use Of the times
when you can think and feel.
When those times come-try to
think like a man; try to feel
like a man.
If you'll think one REAL
Grade A human thought a day,
register one REAL Grade A
human feeling, you can safely
park your brain on a bush for
the rest Of the time.

water pageant.
Shanghai is the second most
important commercial port in
China, being the inlet and OUT
let for the trade of the whole
northern territory. Silk, skins.
tea and oil are all exported i'll
huge quantities, and the i'm
ports comprise almost every
form of manufactured article
and raw material.
Busy place, this Shanghai
busy enough without figuring
in war, and being attacked nd
fired.
Those who come to Shanghai
expecting to find the Far East
ern city of their dreams and Of
tradition are apt to have their
ideas quickly changed. There
is nothing distinctly Chinese or
Oriental about the place, ex-
cept in its Chinese district.
Shanghai is in general an
international city, governed by
the treaty powers, but actually
there are in Shanghai three
ruling municipalities. These are
the Chinese, French and Inter
national. The last named is
run by a council composed Of
members who give their time
and service without salary.

been carefully prepared with
the active aid of economists,
social workers, men and
women practiced in the
work of employment relief.
Thus there was a storm. We
had not then become so ac-
customed to millions Of
bread-winners denied their
inalienable right to work,
nor so sweetly-or shall we
say stupidly-recOnciled to
it.
Under the lash of criticism
the Administration then put
it's publicity agents to work
to tell us what it was going
to do with the utterly lnettl-
cient employment service.
It was news to most Of us
that the Federal Govern
ment had anything of the
sort. Mr.. Doak, the present
head of tn work as Secre-
tary of Labor, had appeared
before his appointment in
favor of the Wagner bill.
But he changed his mind
with his habitat. Some
men do that easily.
The bill should be passed
and Mr.. Hoover given an
other opportunity to kill it
with a veto.

Army Day Parade
A Demonstration of Faith

Friends an adequate national defense will have oppor

Day will be celebrated here and throughout the country
The parade be held in the afternoon will be impressive
from the standpoint Of the number of participants and it will
be most significant from the STANDPOINT OF porayng the
feelings of the nation toward its defenders.
AL Washngtonians entitled to join in the procession, in
Guiding veterans and members of the reserve corps should
certainly turn out.
And all residents who not members of units joining

should be interested. But
while that mood is on, I can't
get excited about anything. I
can't even feel love. 1t IS as
if I were walking around in
a dream. Do other people get
that way? If they do, what's
the reason? And is there a
cure?"
Yes, other people get that
way. All of us get that way.
And the reason isn't hard to
find. It's net in the least re-
markable that we should have
''blah moods" when we cant
feel anything-not even love"
The miracle is that we have
any other moods; that we are
able to live so richly IN our
emotions.

THE Republican press is
i much exercised over
the interview given the
Washington correspondents
by John F. Curry, head OF
the successful Democratic
organization in New York
City. There was nothing IN
the least sinister in what
was said; the most amusing
feature was that some cor
respondents were amazed to
find themselves in the pres
ence of a gentleman without
horns. Some Of the Repub-
lican press is much con-
cerned because Mr.. Curry
has appeared occasionally in
Washington this winter
and that we can under
stand; it is so incredible
that any Democrat in Con-
gress should share this con-
Germ that we suspect 1t IS
not. true.
Mr.. Curry is the head of the
most efficient Democratic
organization in the coun-
try, which wins Democratic
victories; which produced a
Cardoza for the Supreme
Bench, a Wagner and Cope
land for the Senate, and has
kept the gubernatorial Of
flee in New York in the pos
session Of the party since
1918, with the exception of
two years. Had Governors
Smith and Roosevelt "cut
loose" from the Democratic
organization in New York
City and the organization
"cut loose" from them, mel
ther would have had the
opportunity to serve the
public.
But we are more i'm
pressed with the fact that
Tammany, or the Demo
cratic organization in New
York City, is found on the
side of the people and
against the highly organized
exploiters. That is our test
of Jeffersonian Democracy
We wish we could say as
much of all the Democratic
organizations in all the
States. When Mr.. Curry
went to Washington at the
beginning of the session to
pledge the Democratic or
ganization of the House
loyal support of its policies
and program he earned the
appreciation Of every real
Democrat in the country.

The Story of
Diplomatic Phrasing

H4NAA"SSS - 49, SVAAAAA
In Ireland, De Valera S
colleagues in the govern
ment have forced a moderat-
ing Of the tone Of the COM
munication to be sent to
England regarding the oath.
Apropos of Ireland, we re-
call an incident in moderat-
ing the tone Of a state
paper that proved embarras-
sing. The incident is not
generally known. When Sir
Roger Easement was about
to face his execution, the
late Senator MARITIME of New
Jersey offered a resolution
in the Senate asking execu-
tive clemency for the Irish
patriot from the British gov
ernment. But MARITIME had
put more of his heart than
his head into it and it fell
short of the finesse Of q
state paper.
Senator Stone of the For
eign Relations Committee
took it in charge, and mod
Grated the phrasing. But
something more was done.
The resolution asked for
clemency for Ca m n t
alone; and since there were
others facing trial or execu-
tion, and it was thought
other resolutions might be
offered, Stone substituted
for "Sir Roger Easement"
the words "political prison
ers. In that form the reso-
luton passed. That was late
on Saturday.
Since time would be lost,
and the execution was set
for Wednesday, in getting
the resolution to the White
House and then the State
Department, the State De-
partment put the resolution
in code and cabled it at
once, asking that it be Gin
formally presented" by our
ambassador, with the prom
ise of the official resolution
later. By the time the paper
reached the State Depart
ment, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice
called with the informal"
reply-which was to the eff
feet that the British Gov
ernment did not consider
Sir Roger a "political pris-
oner"! 1t was then too late
for any further action; and
it was impossible to explain
just what had happened, for
the friends of Easement
here would have charged a
trick in the changing of the
original resolution. It would
not have been true, for
Stone was deeply sympa-
thetic with the Irish.
It was absurd to say that
Easement was not a "politi-
cal prisoner" But nothing
could be satisfactorily ex-
planned; nothing was at
tempted; and many bitterly
charged that our Govern
ment had played deliberate
ly into the hands of Eng
land. So runs the story Of
diplomatic phrasing.

Wagner Loyal to
Jeffersonian Democracy

We wish every Democrat
in the Senate were as loyal
to Jeffersonian Democracy
as Senator Wagner. We
know not one Single one
who is more devoted to the
Jeffersonian principles of
equal rights and human serv-
ice. Not one member of the
Senate has shown more con-
structive capacity or more
prescient craftsmanship. He
is one of the all too few who
seems to realize that one OF
the functions of government
under the Jeffersonian con-
cept is to protect the rights
of ordinary men to life,
liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness. - He is such an
incorrigible Jeffersonian that
he still believes that these
rights are among the "inal-
ienable rights. That is the
reason that he has sought to
meet some of the economic
problems of the unemployed.
All Of which is aprOpos OF
the hearings in Washington
on his bill for the co-ordlna-
tion of the Federal and
State employment activities.
just why it is necessary to
have hearings again we do
not know-except that this
is a new Congress, and there
are three or four new Sena-
tors. The Wagner bill was
considered in the last Con-
gress and it passed the SEN
ate, we believe, with no OPP
position or with scarcely
any. It was killed by Presi-
dent Hoover with a pocket
veto. That rather aroused
the ire of the country
