Kidnapped

- 49, ~-+--- - (-.N' : - 7
Christopher Morley makes the
suggestion that William Shakes
peare has been kidnapped by
the school teachers and college
professors. And there seem to
be good grounds for Mr.. Nor
ley's charge. There is also good
reason, as Mr.. Morley suggests,
| for a rescue party composed Of
the lusty, ordinary folk for
whom Shakespeare wrote to ran
| som Will Of the greenroom and
| the tavern from the dustiness Of
the study and the schoolroom.
TO keep Shakespeare alive"
Mr.. Morley declares in his new
book, "Shakespeare and Hawaii, :"
which contains three lectures
which he delivered in the Pacific
island last spring, "and to keep
IOur understanding Of him fresh
and green, we must borrow him,
rescue him from the scholars,
bring him back into the theatre,
into the box office and green
room, into the tavern, and, if
YOU will, into the taproom."
Mr.. Morley makes it clear that
he does not confuse the scholars
and critics who have made off
with viii Shakespeare with the
gangsters Of modern kidnapping.
He gives them their due that
they preserved and annotated
Shakespeare, but he charges
that in the process, though with
the best intentions, they sep
arated Will from all his true as
sociates and friends. They made
"learnlng" Of plays that were
written for popular delight and
they have puzzled over the iden-
Itity Of Shakespeare because,
themselves being learned, they
could not understand how the
greatest literature could be writ
ten by an ignorant and unlearn-
ed man.
Mr.. Morley understands. He
thinks, indeed, that delight and
enchantment depend upon the
men who are ignorant and un-
learned. ITO take a few Of our
own time, from the academic
standpoint: Rudyard Kipling
was an ignorant newspaper re-
porter; Joseph Conrad was an
ignorant shipmaster and Her
man Melville was an ignorant
sailor man . O. Henry was an
ignorant druggist and sheep
herder. John Keats was an ig-
norant drug clerk. d. H. Law
renee was brought up in a
miners cottage. Mark Twain
and Walt Whitman and many
others Of the greatest, from an
academic standpoint, were ig-
nOrant men. There seems to be
an underlying truth behind that.
The greatest literature, the lit
erature Of enchantment, has
come from those who have not
been too carefully ground out in
an academic mill wheel"
VIII Shakespeare is not alone
in need Of ransom. In our
schools the amazing details Of a
fascinating world have been too
often made into a dusty cata-
logue called geography. The
greedy, lusty, fighting move
ment of man across time has
been transformed into solemn
procession of dignified and dated
dummies called history. And as
Mr.. Morley shows, even liter
ature, the product of mans fan
cy and delight, has been cata-
logued to plague and weary child
rem.
Mr.. Morley's error, if there is
one, lies in his use of the word
scholar. fhe true scholars are
as lusty in their quest as true

Mr.. Pew in Tough Spot
Attack by Amos Pinchot on Walter
Lippmann EmbaTrasses Editor


four giant frecrackers under
the editorial chair Of Walter
Lippmann. The blast was set off
by Amos Pinchot in Tie Nation.
Mr.. Pinchot alleges intellectual
superfciality clothed in gaudy
verbiage, insincerity, lime-light-
ing, pro -Morganism and q sue
cessful sell-out Of a promising
literary career. Mr.. Lippmann
has not replied to this bitter
condemnation. but if and when
he does We may expect an in
tellectual combat which ought to
rank with the celebrated Whist
Wilde feud. though | greatly
doubt if either Walter Lippmann
or Amos Pinchot is capable of
such poisonous insults as appear
ed in the Victorian press. Any
how, Mr.. PinchOt has kept the
bill Of Indictment on reasonab-
~ high plane Of liberalism, ex-
cept for a few nasty personal
digs.
"To comment on this develop
ment in the affairs Of journalism
puts this writer in a tough spot.
Amos Pinchot has been a faith
full friend for more than 25
years and is honored as one Of
the few Intellectually honest
and spiritually brave men | have
ever known. Walter Lippmann
is my next-doOr neighbor and /
have been intimately acquaint-
ed with his development since he
entered the world Of letters from
Harvard. Sometimes his writ
ing has filled me with sensations
Of exaltation and pride.
Sometimes ! have felt he was
over ambitious, writing beyond
volume capacity and upon too
scant research. Most of the
charges Mr.. Pinchot makes are
based upon hasty writing-gush-
es of poetic language-making
classy copy but not to be parsed
in cool reason, especially by a
thoughtful and sincere liberal.
] thought Mr.. Lippmann wrote
in the World some Of the best
editorials had ever seen, though
could not always agree with his
policies, especially when he
seemed to be trying to play the
role Of practical Journalist, word
lily healing wounds that had been
inflicted by his righteous pen.
The New York World deserved
its enemies.
1T has seemed to me that
Walter Lippmann's Mem Yorh
Herdld Tribune articles, syndi-
Gated to some 116 newspapers,
have been a magnificent con
tribution to the daily press,
stimulating thoughtful consider
alton of the political problems Of
a quaking period in history, as
well as any single feature ap-
pearing in print. ] do not blame
him for occasionally changing
his mind. Mr.. Lippmann was
not the only writer and editor
who had a change of heart con-
cerning Franklin d. Roosevelt.
He was not my candidate at Chi
cago, for the identical reasons
cited by Mr.. Lippmann, but !
also discovered my error and lat
er came firmly to believe in the
&C urageous craftsmanship Of the
former New York governor,
whose leadership is now general
ly regarded as a classic chapter
in American history.
Il do not know whether Mr.
Lippmann is the friend Of the
House of Morgan, but ! do know
that he would not hesitate to be
so classed if it served his purpos-
es. His name was not on the
Morgan preferred list. do

MR.. HURST PROTESTS

William Randolph Hurst, the bad boy
of American neWspaperdom, does not like
the power that is being given to President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Hearst, in messages to his news
papers in all parts of the country, protests
against the power being given to the execu-
tive to compromise with the nations OF
Europe in the coming world conferences.
Mr.. Hearst does not like England and
he isn't any too fond of the French people.
The owner of many great American
newspapers was rebuked in no uncertain
terms by both England and France because
of his comments on their domestic affairs
and informed him that his room was irlfln-
itely preferable to his company.
Both England and France seemed to
reflect in no small measure on the truth
fulness of Mr.. Hearst's statements
Mr. Hearst, through his personal rep
resentative, Senator McAdoo, cast the de-
Gliding votes for President Roosevelt's NOM
inatioh at the convention in Chicago.
He did this, not so much because of
his love for Roosevelt, as because he feared
the defeat of Roosevelt would mean the
nomination of Newton D. Baker, man Mr..
Hearst regarded as friend of both Eng
land and France.
Naturally, Mr.. Hearst doesn't want
anything to be done in the way of helping
his enemies.
So Mr.. Hearst protested violently, even
if ineffectively, against the Congress giving
to the president the power to do anything
that might help the countries which prac-
tically closed their gates in his face.
But Mr.. Hearst didn't get very far.
The Congress decided that the people

papers.

SILENCE OF THE CRAVE

Before Harry Houdini died, that
greatest of magicians agreed with his wife
that he would try to communicate with her
from the spirit world, although he had
long scoffed at spiritualism. After his
death in 1926 his widow watched and
waited for a message.
Finally Mrs Houdini confessed that
she had abandoned hope of ever having a
communication from beyond the grave.
and said: 'The silence is impenetrable;
there is only void
The Society of Psychical Research re-
fuses to accept as authentic any of the
many reported messages from the "other
world"
After 48 years of painstaking investi-
cation of thousands of alleged communica-
tions through mediums and relatives of de-
ceased persons, the society has not found
a single one which has stood the test of
scientific examination.
Yet many sincere persons believe that
they have had such communications, and
no one could convince them to the con-
trary, so strong is the power of belief and
imagination.

COMMIssIoNER-ELECT KARNEs.

Another of Alaskas official family was added to Juneaus residents last week when Commissioner Elect A. E. Barnes, of the Territorial Department of Education, and Mrs. Karnes arrived here from Ketchikan to establish their residence On March 1 MT Karnes enters on his duties the head of the Territorial school system for at least four-year period Both he and Mrs. Karnes will find Juneau a friendly community and they will be warmly wei comed here
 The Commissioner Elect is not unknown here, personally or professionally. His residence at Ket- chikan for several years has brought him into contact with many local people And his work there as Superintendent of City Schools has been marked for efficiency and executive ability to degree that has not gone un-noted here. He comes to his new position fitted by experience and technical training to fill it competently and to the end that our standards of education will continue to improve and the opportunities extended by the Territory to its youth for acquiring education will increase rather than decrease.
 In addition to his practical and technical quail fications for the job, MT. Karnes brings to it a splendid personality-one that has him friends throughout the Territory. This is more than a personal asset. It is asset to the Department of Education tending to bring it more closely in touch with the public at large and increasing its usefulness to the Territory.
 Mir Karnes is familiar with problems confront ing the Department which he will head He has encountered some of them at Ketchikan, and solved some of them. He is equipped to solve others as they arise His record is such that Alaskans gener- ally are assured that their schools under his guid ance and administration will function successfully and tremendously in the next quadrennum.

THE AMERICAN FAMILY.

Professor Ogburn, of the University of Chicago, whose articles have recently appeared in The Elm pre, gives interesting data with reference show that the average family lives in $5o00 house, has three four members, and one family in three has more than wage earner.
 He asserts that the average family theoretically contains 34 persons. More than half of American families live in rented homes and pay average of $2715 month One family in every eight lives in flat apartment. In one in every seven families the home maker, usually woman, has an outside job.
 Professor Ogburn says the latest figures justify the forecast that out of every five six families at present will be broken by divorce but about 30 40 per cent of the divorced will form new families.
 On the whole the figures are encouraging. There aspects of the picture that are not encour- aging; but the story, in brief, is that the American perenced by families in other lands The exist ing and prospective situation in the matter of divorce is not wholesome, but the situation must improve with social development, and the social order in America steadily and consistently is being improved.
 Men and still motivated by the urges responsible for family existence. The essence of as in the beginnings of society's upward struggle The home instinct still is the hope of the world and the best assurance that art education and all the things that make life desirable and worth while will endure.
