think" they are. But 1 wouldn't
doubt there are many little would-be
Marks and LeninS and what-nots
in professors clothing in our halls of
clearinghouse of them than we
would care to think of, sowing little
seeds of contempt and discomfort
with our patriarchal old conStitu-
tional government so insidiouSly
that the poor, pliable little gumps
under their influence imagine they
are thinking up these profound and
mighty deeds Of proweSs.
We laugh and think the young
things are cute Like the pretty
Vassar lassies who stamped their
little feet and pouted, I'VE won't
take the oath of allegiance"-cute?
Is ignorance ever cute? Is dis
loyalty to God, flag, your flesh and
blood ever cute? Your martyrs, your
heroes? Is contempt for your coun-
try, your history, your tradition
cute? Is it intelligent, learned or
noble?
No, Mr.. Broun, your article in
tensif1ed my conviction that there
are bats in the belfry Of many of
our halls of learning and if after
removing a few nieces and nepheWs,
few aunts and uncles clean some
of them out, so much the better.
After all, we have to live with these
young cuties after they are too old
to be funny, and modern psychology
freeing all inhibitions too suddenly
in wobbly young lambs is pretty
heady wine. Social living still de-
mands a few repressions even in our
so-called halls of learning.
If our pets are to come back to the
great American home again, isn't it
only sensible that their training
should include being house broken?

QTRANGE as it may ap-

to be repudiated by Ma
poleon, Josephine herself

Cured to find some one to
take her place with Ma
poleon.
It was at Malmaison, Jo-
sephine's h o m e, tn a t
Countess Metternich, wife
of the Austrian Chancellor,
had the earliest inkling Of
this plan, of which she
promptly informed her husband
on Jan. 3, 1910. Josephine had
with her at the time her son,
Eugene de Beauharnais and her
daughter Hortense, Queen of
Holland. The mother had
preached the subject to her chill
dren and the impetuous Eugene
had been prompt to translate the
idea into action. you know we
are all Austrians at heart" de-
clared Queen Hortense to Count
ess Metternich. But what you
would never guess is that my
brother was bold enough to Sug-
geSt to the Emperor that he
should ask for your Archduchess.'
Developments followed in swift
succession. On Jan. 10, the Paris
Oficialty declared null and void
the marriage between Napoleon
and Josephine. This decision dis
armed the opposition of the
clergy to marriage between
divorce and a Roman Catholic
Princess.
But would the emperor's
choice fall upon a Roman Catho-
lie princess? There was a diver
sity of opinion on the subject. A
princess royal of England. Char
lotte-Augusta? The Russian i'm
perial princess. Anna Pawlowna?
The queen of Holland. HortenSe,
who would previously have di-
vorced her husband?
No, it was Josephine's choice

wonder about the wisdom Of perse-
cutting money. Far greater statesmen
than Mr.. La Toilette, It happens, have
experimental along the same line
and failed. Justinian and Nero did
their share to destroy civilization in
that regard and have their folly for
their monument In the Judgment Of
mankind. Rienzi and Savonarola,
Karl Marx and Lenin were fanatics
who attracted multitudes to their
respective banners with like slogans
Of class appeal, yet are chronicled
among the pathetic apostles Of lost
causes, not among the master builders
of human progress-even the archi-
tect of the Soviet Republic has been
betrayed and rejected by his followers.
The notion Is not as pragmatic as
it seems. Wealth is less definitely
material than some suppose. 1t can
not be cut up like cake and dis
tributed to q mob, nor can it be
appropriated successfully by processes
of legislation or administration. 1t is
good for big use only while it re-
mains big. To illustrate: Ten million
dollars actually Is worth ten million
dollars plus a natural degree of
credit approximating again as much.
but when it is shared by ten million
individuals it is worth only one dollar
to each of the sharers. Mr.. La
Toilette should read Mungo Parks
journal of his African travels. The
explorer encountered tribes dedicated
to the proposition that it is feasible
to cut steaks from the fianks Of
living cows.

that of the loss OF those values. The

robbed of their heritage.

MAY Day of Old.

Humanity Is prodigal with its past.
Philosophers, ancient and modern
alike, have bemoaned the tendency
OF mankind to relinquish old things,
old customs, old institutions, without
thought and without struggle. A
passion for novelty periodically ap-
pears to possess the mass mind, and
It's effect is not altogether productive

Yet 1t was only in 1889 that the
first day of the fifth month was ap-
propriated to the uses of partisanism.
Up to that date the annual fete was
celebrated in its essential character
Of rejoicing for the Spring. The
origin of the feast was that of mans
comprehension of the marvellous
miracle of the rebirth Of Nature, the
triumph of life over death which. re-
gardless Of specific form, is the CEN
tral theme Of every religion. Through
India, Egypt, Phoenicia, Greece and

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Idle Gossip.
A little idle gossip, please,
To soothe a weary hour;
For gossip brings a sense Of ease
Unless it's growing sour.
It banishes our cares afar
When we're inclined to shirk-
But gossip turns to vinegar
When 1t begins to work.
A little idle gossip, please.
But not served up too hot,
And not the kind that somewhere sees
A propaganda plot.
Let's have it served with proper skill
That frees it from distress;
With courtesy which always will
Assure its idleness.

"Soak the Rich" +"

Senator Robert M. La Toilette, jr.,
of Wisconsin, yesterday broadcast to
the Nation the news Of the beginning
of another soak the rich" campaign.
Tax legislation toward that end, he
said, would be forced in the present
session Of Congress, and a coalition
of left-wing Democrats and insurgent
Republicans will make the best fight
of which they are capable for drastic
increases in the taxes levied upon
wealth and income"
Presumably, the spirit Of the age
Is such that the campaign will be
popular. Thousands Of citizens have
been bred up in q legend Of hatred
for the fortunate few" and they
may be expected to look with favor
upon any policy designed to exploit
those whem they have been taught
to think of as exploiters. But the

Hencefortn let Friday be known as
q day Of good fortune, not bad, for
the first thrush of the season sang
beneath the window Just at dusk.
Spotting the first woods thrush each
Spring is better than many another
game.
1t pays no monetary dividends, but
those far greater, in health, sanity,
happiness.
He who loves the creatures Of earth
is never at loss, never Ill at ease, never
asking how to kill time.
Time triumphant is his, as he listens
to the glorious triolets Of the thrush,
speckled- breasted friend Of man, who
does not deserve him.
n
April 26, when the first notes Of the
thrush melody, one Of the half dozen
supreme natural inventions Of song,
first swept into enchanted ears.
That year the felicitous triads were
heard several blocks from home and
in the early morning.
Still they were welcome, but this
year the more so because right under
the window.
Home Is the best place to hear this
wonderful, true Spring song, right out
Of the heart of Nature.
Although each thrush changes It
slightly, to suit himself, as becomes an
artist, he keeps it supremely true to the
divine creation.
Composed once and for all many
thousands Of years ago, the song Of
the thrush proves how good the old
may be.
In the face of mans impetuosity, his
eagerness to destroy the old to make
way for the new. the thrush assures
us that all is well.

favor of tearing down the Capitol

Thrushes. as well as starlings, like
the fine old building, firmly tying
some of us TO past of which We
are proud, not ashamed.
Those who perpetually want to tear
down. probably have no roots.
The thrush never changes, thank
heaven.
You can depend on thrush to be
a thrush, Just as you can on tiger
to be a tiger. an elephant to be an
elephant. and a clam to be a clam.
OF all the natural creations, the
only undependable one is man, self
styled peak of creation.
Maybe il the tigers, the elephants
and the CLAIMS knew how to think,
ana to put their thoughts down on
paper. they would paint different
picture Of mankind than the one man
has set up for himself.
A thrush, We are convinced. would
come a great deal nearer agreeing
with our own self-portrait.
For the thrush is one bird of the
woods which nevertheless has fol-
lowed man straight to his clearings,
wherever they may be, forest, town,
city. suburbs. farm.
Not even the robin has manifested
more OF a liking for mans society.
This is all the stranger since the
various thrushes are quite shy.
