Horace.

In some unguessed celestial villa
Horace today looks down with a smile
on thousands of his friends as they
celebrate the bimillenium Of his birth.
At least, those thousands will wish to
think Of him as being spectator at the
festival of remembrance which they have
arranged in his name. To them and to
their innumerable forerunners, he lives
as truly as he did when he studied at
Athens, fought at Philippi, served as q
uuaestor's scribe in Rome, was the
grateful companion of Maecenas and
Augustus and Virgil, found rustic happi-
ness on his Sabine farm and finally
made an end Of which he was not
ashamed.
Something universal and everlasting
IN his soul gave him the gift of worldwide
and durable celebrity. Like Shakespeare,
he is mot Of an age, but for all time"
The explanation, perhaps. lies in his vast
humanity. He was a man who tasted of
every fate. yet kept sweet through all
experience. The genius Of his mind and
Of his heart was simple. unpretending,

BETTER THAN ARGUMENT
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN d. d. IL D. D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

Generous and kindly judgments in
evitably tend to stimulate and encourage
those whose ways and habits of life differ
from otIr own. Little progress is made
through diSputaticn and controversy.
Men are not converted through argument;
they readily respond to considerate and
kindly treatment.
Writing TO an ancient people wise
and discriminating teacher said: Him
that is weak in the faith receive ye, but
not to Judge his doubtful thoughts" 1t
was recommendation to generous and
Christian attitude in dealing with those
who for one reason or another, are un-
responsive to the Christian philosophy of
life. He was in consonance with the
mind of Jesus where He said: Judge
not that ye be not judged" and again,
why beholdest thou the mote that is
in thy brothers eye but considerest not
the beam that is in thine own eye" Never
once in His ministry to men of all sorts
and kinds did He fail to reckon with
qualities in their nature that were ca
pable of rich development and large pos
SibilitieS. In every instance He found,
even in those who were degraded by
their own sinful practices, elements that
were of such worth that He attempted
to salvage them. He persistently refused
to Judge men by those standards that
suggested their weakness and insufn-
cheney.
We are living In a period where men
and women, by reason of the severe
strain to which they have been subjected,
are confused and uncertain concerning
their faith. New and strange conditions
have affected those who, in other days,
found their religious faith and practice
a source of sustaining strength and COM
fort to them. Under the pressure of
events that try and test them to the ut
most, they find themselves lacking that
sense Of security which comes from an
unfailing trust in God and His pro-
tecting care.

multitude of people who have accepted
the judicial proceedings as definitely
proving Hauptmann's guilt, lest through
technicality or emotional reaction he may
escape the punishment which the crime
of which he has been convicted juStifies
and requires.
The case against Hauptmann was
chiefly circumstantial. His Identification
as the man who took the ransom money
and his possession Of the major portion
of that money was proved. The identity
of the wood used in the construction
of the ladder, by means of which the
kidnaper reached the sleeping chamber
of the child, with material found in
Hauptmann's home was demonstrated.
He was unable satisfactorily to account
for the possession of large funds which
he claimed to have been the property of
6 former associate now dead. His alibi
was riddled as untrustworthy. Experts
identified his handwriting with that of
the ransom notes. Had the verdict of
the trial jury been other than it was
the country would have been shocked
as well as greatly surprised.
So far as known no tangible new evi-
dence has come to light. If the local
detective mentioned has found fresh
material which points in another direc-
ton than to Hauptmann 1t is, of course,
proper that it be considered. But it
would indeed seem strange that the dis
closure to this effect has been made
only since the action of the State Court
of Pardons and Appeals, which unani-
mously sustained the verdict. 1t would
be at the least very remarkable coinci-
dence if such discovery were made only
after that action.
Governor Hoffman has no exclusive
jurisdiction in the case as regards the
possibility Of reprieve or Communication of
sentence. Under the law of the State
such clemency can be granted only by a
majority vote of the Court of Pardons.
There is nothing to indicate that the
evidence which the detective has obtained
has been laid before other members of
that court than the Governor, and his
action in interviewing Hauptmann in his
cell should be regarded merely as an
individual move which, to be effective,
should in fact have been participated
in by all the other members of the court
If the United States Supreme Court
declines to grant Hauptmann's appeal
which it is expected to do in view of
the fact that no question of constitu-
tional rights is involved-the case re-
verts to the State judiciary in the persons
of the eight members of the court of
last resort. There is an air of mystery
about these eleventh hour maneuvers
that tends to strengthen the public
belief that the law has thus far not
erred in its Judgment.

Fifty Years Ago
in The Star

The public did not take to the special
delivery postal service after it was estab-
~, lished so years ago
Special Dellvery suficiantly to keep
Messenger Boys. messengers
The Star of December 2, 1885, says:
"a boy will wear out just about one
pair of shoes a month"; said one Of the
special delivery messenger boys at the
CITY post Office to a Star reporter Then
he has to be out in all kinds OF weather
and it is pretty hard on his clothing.
I tell you the Government ought to pay
more. Why, the money messenger
gets won't half feed him. I think all OF
the boys live with their folks at home.
If they didn't, they'd starve. A boy
who had to depend entirely on himself
would not stay here long. Only three
of the boys have left so far, but think
if Congress don't do something more
will leave next month. They're just
holding on waiting to see what will be
done Then the boy went down on the
floor to resume an interrupted game OF
marbles.
THE messenger boys still have their
headquarters in the basement room OF
the Post Office Building The arrange
ment of the room has been changed so
that the clerk in charge now has his
desk rallied of in the northern end
farthest from the street door. He has
to attend not only to the special delivery
branch, but also to the congressional
mail, which has to be dispatched by mes
sengers to the Capitol. The incomes OF
the special delivery messengers do not
improve any. The highest sum earned
by any one boy during the month just
closed was 5000. The special delivery
office now has settled down to smooth
working routine. The boys do not show
the same tearing, scrambling interest
that was manifested during the early
days whenever letter came down the
chute for delivery. Then the boys would
rush in a body to the desk to see where
the letter must be delivered, and II It
was addressed to some point several miles
from the Office they would set up howl
of delight-an except the boy who had TO
take it. Now letters come down and
hardly provoke any demonstration.
"The boys occupy the south end OF
the room. For their comfort several
long wooden benches without backs are
provided The walls have been decorated
by the boys with pencil and charcoal
sketches of a juvenile character. The
floor is of hard cement, but has several
holes or depressions in it which are very
convenient for marble players. A big
ring has been drawn In the center OF the
floor and here one can witness at most
any time some wonderful exhibitions Of
skill at ring tau We let them do pretty
much as they please said the clerk in
charge, so long as they don't get too
noisy Now about 10 boys are kept on
duty at a time at the main Office. On
Sundays only three boys are on duty at
a time, and those boys have what one
of the messengers described to The Star
as a pudding They have enough letters
to keep them busy and make very fair
days earnings. The boys take turns
going on duty Sundays"

Late Moves for Hauptmann.

On the eve Of decision by the Su-
preme Court on the appeal of Richard
Bruno Hauptmann from his conviction
in New Jersey of the murder of the
Lindbergh baby new element enters
into the case in the activity of Governor
Hoffman Of that State, who, by virtue of
his ONCE, is a member of the Court of
Pardons. A few weeks ago he visited
Hauptmann in his cell at Trenton and
held an extended interview with him, in
the course Of which, the Governor has
stated, Hauptmann reiterated his denial
of guilt At the same time it is disclosed
that a detective of note in the State
service has been investigating the case
and has declared his belief in Haupt-
mann's innocence. Furthermore, there
have been rumors Of newly discovered
evidence. These developments have
aroused apprehension on the part Of q

gentle and good. He rose to fame by
the use of an art which was as natural
as the subject material he chose to con-
slider worthy of his attention and skill.
And his themes were those which sue
cessive generations can appreciate.
Thus critics two thousand years after
his career began speak of him as being,
modern" and the classification is jus
titled by every word Horace ever penned.
He was receptive In the highest degree
to all that was current in the world that
he knew. and it happens that it was
world that aas not changed in its essen
tial values. Bread still is bread, and the
processes of its production are what they
were. So, too, love is love and song is
song.
But Horace was not undiscriminating.
On the contrary, he could be and fire.
quently was capable of Indignation. The
miser, the legacy hunter, the parasite
and the over-fortunate he unhesitatingly
chastised in satires which never since
have been equaled. Yet his reformatory
impulses were neither selfish nor mean.
Rather, they were Of piece with his
naive delight in living. He complained
without rancor, just as he applauded
without qualification.
Altogether, he was a child. Not even
poverty and disappointment spoiled his
youth. Neither did comfort and modest
luxury affect it. He was flfty-SeVen
when he died, but his last work was as
fresh as a boys. Hence. it is easy to
understand how his contemporaries
viewed him and why his admirers in
1885 share their affection for him. He
does not disturb. Instead. he is placid
joy-a continuing refreshment forever.
The Library of Congress, Georgetown
and George Washington Universities,
the classical divisions of the public
schools and many individual Washing
tonians join in the international COM
memoration with an enthusiasm which
is sincere and amply merited.

In dealing with men and women Of
this sort we are compelled to reckon with
these facts. To attempt to dissuade them
from their later convictions through
argument is the part OF folly. We have
to reckon with the conditions that have
affected their religious beliefs and de-
vot.onal practices and to deal gently
with them and with infinite kindness.
The most persuasive power that we may
exercise is disclosed in our practice
rather than in our precept. II by ex-
ample We can demonstrate the strength
Of our own religious convictions and
their fitness to serve us under any and
all conditions, we shall do more to win
those who are apostate and unreSponsive
to the religious appeal than by all our
stern judgments and harsh criticisms.
If sick bodies need wise and kindly
physicians and gentle nurses, sick souls
need like consideration. They that are
whole need not physician, but they that
are sick" The more genial we can make
the atmosphere Of the Church and the
more responsive its ministry to those
who for one cause or another have suS-
tanned loss of faith, the more winSome
and appealing we shall make our ap-
proach to those who for the while have
lost their grip upon themselves and their
ideals.
The admonition of Christ spoken to
the stern accusers of one who had sinned
Is a safe guide: He that is without sin
among you. let him first cast a stone ="
His gentleness and chivalrous consider
alton in this case redeemed life.
Human judgments have in these late
years been severe and often inconsistent.
A sick world needs more of His spirit if
it is to be restored TO normal health.
Most of the confusion and lost confidence
in men and institutions have their gene
sis In ungenerous and ill-considered
judgments. Him that is weak in the
faith receive ye. but not to judge his
doubtful thoughts"

well look to Washington for the loans
that will set them on their feet, or the
decision that will tell them that they
have been selected to be included in one
of the experimental projects that promise
special advantages to the favored few.
Other decisions, however, also made in
washington, turn individuals on employ
ment rolls or rolls of those getting rural
rehabilitation loans and shift them back
to their own resources or to the resources
Of the community.
State and local government has fallen
into state of helplessness in which ire
quently even the care Of the unemploy'
able destitute persons among the citizens
is financially impossible. Supposedly
sovereign States are unable to fufil the
primary function of caring for otherwise
helpless citizens.
There are beginning to be signs that
President Roosevelt recognizes the
dangers of centralizing all Government
in Washington. Some agencies are max
ing a start at decentralization. But the
Works Progress Administration-the most
glaring example of Capitalization Of local
affairs in the hands of national ofncials-
is Just getting under way with its vast
spending program.
AS it is today, millions Of the Nations
families must look TO Washington for

s'Peace'' Terms.

Mussolini is said to have spurned ten
tative Anglo-French peace terms sub
mitted to him in the hope that they would
induce him to end his war against Ethl-
opia. Generous as these proposals are
reported to be with respect to ceSsion OF
territory, II Duce evidently thinks that
prolongation of hostilities will bring him
even greater booty. The terms alleged
to be rejected by the dictator purport
to leave Halle Selassie's sovereignty
intact by ruling out the earlier idea OF
an Italian mandate over certain provinces
that were to remain under the EmperorS
nominal rule. Instead, it is suggested
that the warning parties should assent to
a direct and final exchange" Of terri
tory. Under this plan Ethiopia would
yield an ell and receive an inch.
Italy, according to the reputed Anglo
French project, would be given not only
all the Ethiopian soil the Fascists now
occupy, but vast additional slice. In
the north the territory includes the con-
quered Tigre Province, with the low
lands between a line running from
Adigrat to Makale and the present border
of Eritrea. Ethiopia in return would
obtain a corridor of Italian territory
along the border of French Somaliland
abutting the Eritrean port Of Assab, thus
giving direct and free access to the sea,
with the right to construct either
railroad or a motor road to Adds Ababa.
In the south Italy would acquire virtually
the whole Of Ogaden Province and a
large part of Harar Province. Reports
differ as to whether the terms in question
provide an unbroken territorial link be-
tween Italian Somaliland and Eritrea.
The Anglo French colonial experts"
who have evolved this arrangement for
looping of tens of thousands Of square
miles from Halle SelasSie's domain con-
slider that its redeeming merit is that
it does not impair Ethiopian indepen-
dence. The Emperor would remain SOW
ereign, even though the area of his
realm would be shrunk to something like
a shadow OF its former dimensions.
So much can already be said, whether
Rome or Adds Ababa, or both, reject
these peace" terms. On their face, they
make a travesty Of the previous pledges
of London and Paris to defend Ethi-
opian territorial integrity one hundred
per cent. Such a settlement would per-
NIT Mussolini, in essence, to retain the
lions share of the African loot he set
out to seize in defiance of the League,
of international treaties and of the
rights of small and backward nation.
Terms like these will strike many OBJ
servers throughout the world as smack
ing of compounding felony. They
would lose none Of their malcdorous
character because negotiated within the
framework of the League or because they
would despoil Ethiopia possibly OF less
land than she might have lost If Geneva
had not come to her rescue"
An end of the war that leaves Musso-
lini in possession Of vast areas Of Ethi-
opian territory will be a symbol not only
of the Leagues failure to prevent aggres-
sion, but of It's readiness, in the name
of a specious peace, to condone inter-
national lawlessness.
