Yes and No.
rom the Hartford Daily Times.

Prom the Hartford Daily Times.
In his final formal statement 10 u
Senate Investigating Committee / q.
Morgan stated that hts firms Ut a
private subscribers who were given op-
portlnity TO obtain stock at less than
the publicly quoted price represented
men Of affairs who were selected be-
cause Of business and personal relations
"and not because Of any actual or po-
tential political relations" He con-
tinued:
I'VE have never had occasion to ask
for favors from legislatures or persons
IN public Office, nor have We ever done
so. We conduct our business through
no means or measures of influence or
favor"
That statement has an important
bearing on the vital question whether
there is q "quid pro quo" in the special
opportunities which are afforded public
men by the Morgan stock-subscribing
plan. The word of Mr.. Morgan might
be accepted more easily as final If the
ramiflcations of the Morgan firm were
not SO far-flung. There went into the
fle OF the committee, for future use, an
analysis showing that the Morgan part
ners are represented as directors on the
boards Of eighty mine organizations, in
cluding fifteen banks, seven unclassified
holding companies, ten railroads, five
utility holding companies, eight utility
operating companies, six insurance COM
pan1es and thirty-eight industrial firms.
While 1t may be true that, organized
as partners in the private banking firm
OF ]. p. Morgan & Co., these twenty men
do not seek legislative favors, it is OBJ
v1ouS that as directors on utility, bank
ing, insurance and industrial companies,
these same men must be very much in
terested IN laws and governmental regu-
lationS.i In these connections the Nor
gan partners have contracts which must
inevitably cultivate and reflect the
spirit of teamwork. As co-directors
they resist governmental interference.
To make such foresight" effective, con-
tact must be had with those who make
the laws. In other words, the whole
case is not stated when it is said that
organized in one form a group of men
have nothing to do with legislative
favors. When organized in scores of
other forms these same men are very
much concerned with legislative regula-
tions. The thought persists that some
how, somewhere, there is "quid pro
quo," reaching into public service, be-
hind these preferred subscriber lists Of
the Morgan firm. More light may be
shed on that situation as the Senate
committee further dissects the far-flung
connections Of Morgan directorships and
Morgan financing.

II plants are pets, there is one tnesti-
mable advantage they enjoy over all
others. they bring no sorrow to their
owner.
The gardener Is thus happy above all
men.
He alone knows immortality Of sort,
knowing no sorrow.
Chagrin, disappointment, yes, but no
sorrow.
Old legends Of trees and plants SUI
fering when boughs are injured stir
him not
Even the most tender hearted Is not
moved to tears as he saws q branch of
q favorite tree.
The sensitive gardener sees "black
spot" on his roses as q curious mani
festation Of Nature, not 80 much a.
disease
Especially he sees in none of the
blights Of plants any Of the tinge of
suffering SO common in sickness and
injury In animals Of all sorts.
Contemplation Of plant injuries car

in consideration Of similar manifesto
tions In other spheres.
This lack. this insensibility. If one

keep 1t in mind.
It Is well for them to treasure care
fully the plain gains of their ancient
art and profession.
In the garden, each gardener h .
sort Of god, above good and evil
The ancient drama Of right and
wrong, pain and suffering, disappears
here, and 1t Is about the only place on
earth 1t does disappear.
Perhaps that was why the Ancients
selected the Garden Of Eden as divine
ly created setting for man without the
knowledge Of good and evil.
The home gardener. as strange as 1t
may seem, links himself with the most
ancient times. when he becomes master,
in little, of the growing things of the
plant world.
This is life, but such a curious form
Of life, in its manifold variations, that
1t seems wholly outside the common
dispensation.
Birth, growth, decline, end-plants
know all these, but the gardener feels
them not.
To him, in his garden, birth is a seed
In a packet; growth, flowers in their
season; decline. some blight or insect;
the END, What shall we do with these
old plants?"
He is lifted above the destiny Of all
living things.
His plants become symbols, perhaps,
but no more. except in q few pathetic
minds, which see in them more than
the Creator put in them.
Happily for all but these the trees,
and the flowers. and the waving grain,
the great stalks Of corn, the riotous
growth OF castor beans, and the porch
box Of Rosy Morn petunias, all signify
happiness Of a sort, without possible ad-
mixture Of sorrow.
Disappointment. yes, there Is plenty
OF that In q garden
One may suffer chagrin, or at times
even anger, when pesky insects insist
on feeding themselves at the expense
OF the gardener and his plants
There are many emotions one may
have In q garden, but real sorrow we
do not believe is among them.

Short Cuts on Royal Road,
ON the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Fortunately for those Of us who feel
the urgent need. more than ever. for
schools, DR.. Robert M Hutchins,
president Of the University Of Chicago,
arises to the occasion and offers q
brilliant plan for the future educators.
Succinctly. the plan may be stated in
this fashion: Shorten the elementary
school to six years, devote three or four
years to the secondary school, three
or four years to the college and then
offer university facilities to the select
at the present sophomore age Of 18
or 20.
The student would thus reach sooner
the direct course he Is to use In his
life work.
It will be interesting to watch some
State try this plan. for undoubtedly
some State win.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL,

Even remorse IS left q pale shadow
Of its usual stalwart shape in human
affairs.
1t is impossible to conceive Of such
an ultra-sensitive gardener. that he
would weep bitterly over the failure OF
his hollyhocks to do what he had ex-
pected Of them.
In Wonderland, with little Alice, We
expect to find the walrus. shedding his
tears, but in the average home garden
We know that we shall come upon noth-
ing Of the kind, no matter how far we
wander down the flower bordered path.
X X
Every home garden, no matter how
small-or large-is Q Wonderland Of its
own.
There is birth, but it is not hard; |;
there Is sickness, but no pain: decline.
but no suffering; death, but no SORROW.
Is not this Wonderland?
The garden reader needs no printed
pages. There are leaves OF grass to
peruse. flower pictures to admire.
great sunsets going down quietly in all
the space there is, and all these may
be seen and enjoyed from tiny back
yard.
Unalloyed happiness. then, IN q
garden?
AS near to it, undoubtedly, as one will
ind.
1.-THE grass is always greener in the
other fellows yard?" There Is no sor-
row in that, only bit Of chagrin, now
and then.
It Is possible to saw and hack and
prune, to snip and to cut of, without
In any way infiicting suffering.
Try as much as a sensitive soul may,
one finds 1t impossible to feel pain at
such procedures, or to believe for a Sec
ond that such hurt Is injury in the
dictionary sense.
The wonderland Of the garden sees
the onslaught Of dire disease without
a qualm.
Here are many and strange insects,
carefully imported from foreign lands,
waiting to turn green stalks into with
cred brown.
The gardener may fuss and fume,
but he will not sorrow In any real
sense.
He will "ry to do something about
II success crowns his efforts, he will
rejoice. but. If failure, he scarce will
lament, but 60 on to something else
Thus for sorrow is substituted con-
tinuance.
1t Is partly because one may turn to
something else. at any moment, that
sorrow is 80 largely banished from the
garden.
In other walks of life the same arti-
flee Is used, but 1t Is constantly frus-
trated by memory.
One remembers-and Is sorry
In the garden one seldom recollects
unpleasant happenings, and. when enc
does, the Ill feeling Is washed over
with dew and sunshine
Even gloomy days, with their drench-
ing rains bringing unhappiness to the
gardenless. come only to bless, in a
garden.

who started the trouble?" we some
times inquire,
When confronted by things that we do
not admire
We take up book which we turn page
by page
Till we're lost in q dim prehistorical
age.
II some old protozoans had not been 50
rude
Life might not have grown to q vast
family fued
With each generation still questioning
thus:
will some one inform us who started
the fuss?"
When we have been led into folly or
sin,
We can never get out In the way we
got in.
And those misdirecting in confident
pride,
As leaders persist and will not stand
aside
We may as well leave hist'ry there on
the shelf
And not merely watch 1t repeating
itself.
The question arising in moments of
doubt
Isn't who got us in?" It is who'll
get us out?"
