Ballet Triumphant.

The Russian Ballet, of which Wash
ington had another glimpse last evening,
contradicts the confusion of the world.
It's organized beauty and purposeful
vitality challenge the anarchy and the
prodigality of so-called "civilization." F"
But that it has survived triumphantly
and that the magic of its attraction
remains undiminished in an earth over
run by war and afflicted by every kind
OF social maladjustment is something to
rejoice about.
There must be hope, it would seem,
for a race which still has power to create
and to appreciate such art. The ballet,
moving within the pattern of tradition
ages old, yet rejecting the eagerness
Of the modern era, correlates every
esthetic impulse. 1t is poetry and music,
painting and sculpture-all alive. The
eye, the ear, the mind and the heart
are engaged by its appeal. When the
curtain rises, the audience is transformed.

which inevitably leads to serfdom or
peonage for the citizen. In Italy and
in Germany, in Russia and in Japan
the people are slaves of the state. Yet
theoretically they are free. To gain
temporary expedient ends they have
yielded up everything but the name OF
liberty-they have emulated Esau and
traded their inheritance for bitter
mess of pottage. But they idolize their
masters and deem it an insult if any
critic calls attention to their sub
serviency. Nor is their indignation
baSelesS. Their chance of survival would
be deleteriously affected if they were to
face the cruel truth about their plight.
Instead, they must be blind to their
chains. The alternative is unavailing
protest, isolation, punishment, even
death.
But the spectacle is vastly disturbing
to the occasional philosophic bystander.
AS long ago as 1919, E. S. P. Haynes put
the problem into language in the state
ment: THE vitality important aspect OF
liberty today is its function in combat
ing the sort of anarchy which threatens
civilization all over the world: for this
anarchy is the inevitable result OF war
lords and their imitatorS deSpiSing the
normal aspirations of the individual
human being to brief period of normal
happiness-a little time of work and
play and love on this side of the grave
and a reasonable chance of passing on
ton"
Certainly the dictators have promised
relief from the forces threatening the
normal aspirations" The difficulty has
been that the half loaf which they have
conceded to the masses has been the
kind of bread that keeps them alive
without making life worth living. More
than half the race has consented to
the compromise, bought mere existence
with the only coin it had to pay-con-
sent to tyranny.
A natural law, however, is involved in
the matter. 1t happens that the soul
instinctively resents coercion, and for that
reason every autocracy eventually must
fall The verdict of history on the czarS,
crowned and uncrowned, of the past,
therefore, gives cause for hope for de-
velopments which. however long delayed,
may result in a practical liberty at last.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

SineWS abroad on large scale, in viola
ton of American policy and in defiance
of presidential warnings, are taken as a
pretty definite indication that Congress
will promptly be asked to pass restrictive
laws unless there is drastic curtailment
of such traffic. Administration feeling
on the subject is obviously running high.
If trade in oil, copper, trucks, scrap iron
and scrap steel, now officially branded
as essential war materials" does not
diminish or disappear, the way seems to
be creased for mandatory legislation to
prevent it.
Notre Dame men in Washington are
immensely gratifed by President Roose-
velt'S plans to visit the university at
South Bend on December 9 and deliver
an address on the occasion of receiving
an Ii. D. degree. Three Washingtonians
already so honored by Notre Dame are
Secretary Hull, Senator David l. Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,. and DR..
Charles P. Neill, former United States
commissioner of labor, who is now presi-
dent of the Cosmos Club. Frank c.
Walker, director of the National Emer-
gency Council, who may succeed Mr..
Farley in the cabinet; Ambrose O'Con-
nell, the Postmaster Generals executive
assistant, and Representative Granfield,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,. are among
Notre Dame alumni in official life at
Washington. Although Notre Dame, ever
since it attained foot ball fame, has
been associated in the public mind with
the Irish, it is in fact French by origin,
as its name indicates, having been

Senator Borah's receptivity for the Re
publican presidential nomination is
largely based upon the enormous fan
mail with which the IdahoanS admirers
have showered him since the adjourn
ment of Congress last Summer. Both
at Boise and Washington his desk has
been piled high with communications
from all over the country urging Borah's
availability as the man best designed
to dramatize the anti-New Deal issue,
particularly if it revolves around consti-
tutionaliSm. Friend and foe alike con-
cede that there's no Republican in sight
who could conduct so appealing cam
paign as the eloquent Senate veteran.

Liberty.

Men speak of liberty with a pre-
sumptuous confidence which is not justi-
fled by their knowledge of it's character,
application or effect. The word, 1t
should be realized, is indefinite Much
of its meaning depends upon the tenn
permanent and the condition of the indi-
Wdual employing it. To certain type
of person it is synonymous with license;
to another it is something closely akin
to voluntary slavery. The former sig
nificance was that which Edmund Burke
had in mind when he said: What Is
liberty without wisdom and without
virtue? 1t is the greatest Of all possible
evils: for it is folly, vice and madness
without tuition or restraint"
On the opposite extreme there is the
gradual surrender Of natural rights.

A spiritual miracle occurs. Through the
theater throbs a rhythm which even the
least responsive spectator feels. And
the spell endures long after the audience
has returned to its routine fixations.
Certainly, the phenomenon is difficult
to explain. It's effect, however, is more
important. Obvious beyond all question
is the basic lesson of the community OF
effort and intent which 1t represents.
It is lovely and spiritually stimulating
because 1t is an enterprise Of cooperative
genius. Each dancer has an individual
share in the composition, yet it would
submerge self in behalf of group har-
mony. Only by processes OF democracy
"a democracy of equal interest, devotion
and Skill-can the perfect triumph be
attained. Perhaps it was from some per-
formance like that Of last night that
H G. Wells got the idea for his novel,
Men Like Gods"
Mock as a cynic may at the sugges-
ton, it is a matter of history that
dancing was an essential factor in the
development of the richest culture hui
manity ever has produced. The GLORY
that was Greece" was founded on no
other capacity of the human soul. Nor
is that power dead Rather, it is more
vibrantly and compellingly extant today
than it was three millenniums ago. What
is wanted is merely direction, goal to-
ward which to march. And therein lies
the crux of the problem. The race has
not yet decided upon its objective.
But coming events cast their shadows
before" A public which can applaud
the ballet is symptom of triumphs even
more comprehensive and complete.

While there is no gainsaying that a
certain amount of pruning and cutting

These are a few Of the ways the Au-

we make plea for them, in the face of
all the necessary garden polishing and

One very practical gain Of such gar

permitted to remain where it will do

Every lawn ought to be given a final
moving for the Winter.
The long-continued warmth of October
and early November induced a very fine
stand of fresh green everywhere.
Those who specialize in such things
know this very well Every one must
specialize, nowadays, of course. And al
most every one does, in some way or
other, although others may not realize it.
Take the person who likes gardening,
actually and not just academically. Then
the things of the growing outdoors world
will take on added relevancy to him. He
will want to know as much as he can
about them.
His opinions, when given, will have a
great deal more behind them, because he
has observed. because interested. They
will not be snap judgments, in any sense.
The person not particularly interested
in the things of the garden will do we'll
to be wary of arguing with such per-
son, for the latter will know, whereas
the other will merely have an opinion.
The person who knows, for instance,
will actually know that the first. or genus,
name Of the peppermint, Mentha pipe
rita, does not come from mint" whereas
he who does not know might certainly
think it did.
1t comes directly from the name of
famous nymph of mythology Mentha
herself, and hence our word "menthol."
Now your lawn before Winter comes;
if there is a peppermint plant there,
think of sweet Mentha, and be glad for
her eternal fragrance.

The old egg man, as we called him, was

If it were the last blooming time for

be well to take good look around.

There still were green leaves, although
not many of them, on the althea bushes.
Marigolds and many other annuals
were in full flower.
Over in the corner hollyhocks were IN
bloom.
1t is not generally known that If the
hollyhock is cut back after the Spring
blooming it stands every chance OF fioW-
ering again, especially if kept well
Watered and given dose OF bonemeal.
This season it has been necessary to
tear up many ANIMALS still in bloom in
order to find room for tulip bulbs.
Week after week went by, with mild
weather keeping such things as ageratum
in the best sort of flower.
1t became essential to remove them,
even though it hurt, in order to f1nd
place for the bulbs, which held beauty
for the future.
Lawns everywhere have profited from
the extended warmth Of October ana the
first half of November.
Even persons who put in grass SEED
late have been rewarded.
There is no grass of the year, not even
that which comes up in the Spring, OF
finer green than the late Autumn grass,
If the weather has been warm.
Whether this new growth will stay
green all Winter remains to be seen, but
many hope it WILL for there is nothing
prettier than green grass in Winter. linen
even the best Sward tends to take on a
yellowish color, especially if snow has
overlaid it for several weeks at time.
Yet there Is mystery in this. Often
lawns which receive little or no care
for long periods, especially in the Au-
tumn, tend to hold their green better
in the cold than grass plots which have
been cared for scrupulouSly, perhaps too
much so. There, perhaps lies the eX-
PLANTATION. 1t is possible that too much
care, here as elsewhere, is bad. 1t is
much the same with human beings, or
tropical fishes, or what have you as the
sophiSticateS once liked to say. Proper
care extends to a certain point, but no
further FuSsing and fumlng sometimes
does more harm than good. Every one
knows this. and it furnishes very prac-
tical basis for the injunction to stop
worrying. Often if We "let things slide"
we do not do half the harm We might
think, in our worrying moments. Strange
ly enough, sometimes what may seem
to be no care at all permits things to
adjust themselves, or Nature to step in
and. without human interference, set
things right.
We like a certain care-free air in
garden, to be secured ordinarily in no

Penitential Psalm.

IcHllenI1al fSdIms
Lord, when in life my pride flares hot
and high
Upon my head,
Let shock descend to silence rash outcry
And slow my tread.
Humble me till knell at wiser feet,
Tempered by pain, to voice penance
sweet.
Each errant impulse of my wayward
heart
Convert from wrong;
Subject its fervors to living part
OF sacred song.
Claim any spark I dare to call divine
Make all my flame, my every ardor,
thine!
In the calm hour my unshod feet shall 90
The way of dust
May thy compassion on my spent heart
flow;
Clothe me in trust
And when my soul shall sing in starry
skies
Account me but lark In Paradise.

eign trade of Canada was $685. 1000, 900.
The imports were s3760O0,0O0. Of this
amount the United States contributed
more than 1928, 100000. 1t was the hope
of Mr.. Taft that the adoption OF the
reciprocity agreement would bring to this
country an even larger share OF the
Canadian market.
In those days a President of the
United States did not have the power to
negotiate and put into erect reciprocal
trade agreements with foreign nations.
He had to 90 to Congress for ratiflca-
tion. Congress has given President
Roosevelt authority to deal finally with
such trade agreements. so lar as the
United States is concerned the Canadian
agreement is an accomplished TACT,
merely awaiting the final exchanges OF
ratifications. Whether Canada will kick
over the apple cart, as she did back in
Taft's dav. remains to be seen. In view
of the recent elections putting Macken-
zie King. Canadian prime minister, into
power and office, it looks as though the
agreement would stick this time.

It is not to be expected that American
distillers will view the Canadian agree
ment with any degree of favor. 1t cuts
the import duties on Canadian whisky
from SIS a gallon to $3.50, and the same
cut will come on Scotch and other
whiskys, aged four years or more in the
wood. The hope of the administration
is that not only will this reduction in
duty increase the supply of properly aged
whisky in this country, but also that it
will cut the profits of the bootleggerS to
such an extent that they may be largely
forced out of business. The high prices
of liquor in this country, largely main
tained by the tariff duties, have given
those gentlemen q chance to continue

1, 1885 employment was provided

Of the total expenditures $685.
556,695 went for labor, $3,899, ,288
to livestock relief clients and ST.

FOOtballers Tackle
Highway Work

Loaded down with gold footballs
and with muscles bulging through
sweat shirts, plainly the former
property of the University of Min
nesota, several members of the
1884 championship pigskin team
invaded Redwood Falls last week.
With the rigors of the season
before them, the boys are adding
to their already diversified biceps
by engaging in outdoor work.
Travelling throughout this part of
the state with the state highway
department, they are installing
knob refiectors along the center
lines of all dangerous road curves.
In the group were Sheldon
Beise, fullback on Minnesota's
power house, George Roscoe, half
back, Louis Midler, tackle, Bill
Matheny, halfback, Don Krezow-
ski, end and Ray Antil, another
end. Clarence Krause, hurdler
and John Jeppeson also a track
man, were slightly overshadowed
by their hefty companions.
Modestly, the boys promised a
better first team than that which
moved down the Big Ten in the
glorious year of 1884.
