tain the facts and to consider the basic
issues involved.
The basic issue concerns the conf
dence of the politician in the people.
There are those who prefer government
by the few in the interest of the well-to-
do with limited electorate that can be
trusted to vote the right way Some Vir-
ginia Republicans are particularly in
clined to this theory of government. 1t
is an utterly undemocratic theory. The
basis of the Democratic party is conf
dence in the people. The stability of
government in the future will depend
upon the extent to which the literate
and responsible elements in the popula-
ton participate in elections. One prac-
tical means of encouraging such partici-
patton would be legislation to provide for
more general collection of the poll tax.
This would be the simplest and easiest
way to secure an additional million dol
lars for Virginia schools.

Minister Addresses Query
To ISOlationists,

To the Editor of The Star:
Midst the recent assembly of law
makers for the United States, many
speakers were heard some qualified, some
otherwise; debating our position as it
should relate to the present Euro
pean war.
Few there are who would doubt that
we in the United States are a Christian
Nation, symbolized as it is by such an
inscription as In God We Trust"
AS Christians, we also should know
that We contact with the positive king
dom Of the Lord Jesus Christ under God,
and the negative kingdom of Satan and
his forces of evil.
The question for "isolationsts' to settle
in their own minds before any declama-
ton is, if the King of Heaven was here,
with planned purpose to establish His
spiritual kingdom for Christian brother
hood and called for assistance against
what is now apparent, an anti-Christian
war, what would be the attitude of the
leaders of this great Nation?
What would the individual answer be-?
The key to whatever kingdom one desires
is in his own hand, may the people be
wisely led through reason and CO.
operation. REV. F. H. MANDRELL.

Burqomuster Max

It is fashionable among certain
critics of modern society to affirm
that the age of heroism has passed
and that men no longer are willing
to live dangerously But the cynics
guilty of this mistaken judgment of
contemporary character forget the
brave little burgomaster of Brussels,
Adolphe Max, who was a romantic
legend while yet he lived and will
remain the symbol of his country's
spirit now that he has died.
OF course, there were other Bel
gians who refused to submit to the
Prussian conquerors of 1914. King
Albert the Good, Cardinal MERCER
and General Leman personified each
In his own especial way the indie
pendence of the martyred state and
the resistance of its people to an
alien will. But Burgomaster Max
was particularly daring in his atti-
tude of defiance. Fifty months i'm
prisonment in Germany served

them that come, and not many persons
will be able to do it, but most will be
fortunate enough to see few of them,
II some food is put cut daily.
If you want birds all the time, you
must put out food all the time.
They will not waste their time where
there is nothing to eat. Even stay-at-
homers, which eat daily in a yard, will
ny away the moment the supply Of food
Is allowed to run out.
This rather ungrateful performance is
forgiven readily, In view of the great
requirement which birds have for plenty
OF food, in order to keep their heat re-
quirements at maximum.
The colder the weather, of course, the
more need for constant stocking of the
furnace"
If plenty of food is available, birds are
as warm in freezing weather as In the
heat of summer
They are natures pure children and
1t makes no difference to them how cold
it is-how fine it would be if the chill
dren of men could say the same! Then
there might be an end to this business
OF colds and influenza and pneumonia.
The way to learn to write, some one
has said, is to start writing.
The way to begin, in other words, is
to begin.
The way to begin to feed the birds is
to begin putting out food for them.
1t is as simple as that.
Instead of worrying about the pur-
chase or construction of feeding sta
ton, just get some mixed seeds. or
chicken feed, or chick feed, or plain sun
flower seed, and put it out in the yard,
IN tree box or even on the sidewalk.
Every day we pass happy band of
birds, eating away vigorously on down.
town sidewalk, not feet from a bustly
throng of traffic.
Passersby on their way to the Govern
ment departments-this place is close
enough for many thousands of workers
to Walk-have to almost push the birds
out of the way to get past.
Try placing the food beneath some
kind of bush or vine
Do not imagine that because it seems
concealed to the human eye it is hid
In the least from the far sharper sight
OF the feathered hosts of the air.
Then, too, they can smell it, and then,
too, they have some mysterious wav of
finding food which man has not vet
fathomed. There seems to be no doubt
of this at all Mere sight cannot explain
it. Some species put out scouts, which
tell the other birds without moving from
their posts. Among the birds which do
this really marvellous thing are the
starlings
The only drawback to beneath the
bush feeding comes in snowy weather,
when the fine particles drift down
through even the thickest vine. 1t may
be necessary to scoop out the snow every
now and then, but this is not much of a
task, after all, and if you don't do it, the
birds probably will do it for themselves.

those who are disposed to support
equally fantastic schemes in other
sections Of the country. It would
not be wise, however, to pin too much
faith on the educational value of
a trial and error fiasco in either
California or Ohio. In 1886 the voters
of Colorado approved a plan calling
for a pension of $45 a month for all
persons over sixty whose incomes
were less thar that amount. For
a time the payments were made,
but the States finances were un-
equal to the strain, and full pay
ments were discontinued. But de-
spite this evidence that the plan
was unavoidable, the voters by refer
endum last November refused to re-
peal the pension provision.

Pensions and Politics

The voters of Ohio and California
are balloting today on old-age pen
sion schemes which have cast an
oninous shadow across the Ameri-
can political scene. The growth of
the pension movement-by product
of todays misery and the fear of to-
morroW-has been little short of phe-
nomenal during the past five years.
That these short cuts to Utopia have
embodied the quintessence of eco
nomic madness, that the supposed
beneficiaries will suffer most in the
end, are facts that have not served
to stem the pension tide. Liberal
pensions for the aged" is meat upon
which demagogues can fatten and
they have not failed to make. the
most of it.
A disturbing demonstration of the
strength OF the pension forces was
made during the last session of Con-
gress. Despite the fact that Federal
old-age pensions and old-age benefit
payments were substantially liberal
lied, Townsend plan bill was de-
feated in the House by less than a
three-to-one VOTE More than one
third of the Republicans and about
one-sixth of the Democrats voted for
it. 1t had the support of all the Rep
resentatives from Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana, North and South
Dakota, of sixteen of the twenty
from California, of seven out of nine
from Wisconsin, of four out of five
from Florida.
The Ohio voters today are passing
on proposal to pay $50 a month to
persons sixty years of age or older.
The pensioner must have retired
from gainful occupation, and if he
has an income of less than $50
month, his pension will be only large
enough to lift his income to that
point. Eligible husbands and wives
will receive $40 each, and the cost
is to be met by State income tax
equal to one-fourth of the Federal
income levy, and two per cent tax
on all land valued at more than
$4,000 an acre. In California, the
proposal is to pay $50 each Thursday
to unemployed persons over fifty
years of age, the payments to be
made in scrip.
If either or both of these plans
are approved-and that is by no
means unlikely-there is every reason
to believe the result will be financial
chaos. Should that prove to be the
case the misfortune Of Ohio or Cali.

That filtered through the passing of

Falling in bars and crosses on my floor

Night-shrouded objects all emerged from

otism. He never surrendered. When
the invaders abused him, he gloried
In the compliment. It was a matter
of pride with him to be mistreated
by his foes. Not once did he COM
plain against their persecution. In
deed, it would have troubled him if
they had failed to respond to his
challenge.
After the Armistice in 1918 he re-
turned home to his familiar Office.
Brussels chose him mayor for the
remainder of his life. He accepted
few other honors, desired no greater
recognition. Departing the world at
a moment when history is engaged
in turbulent repetition, he leaves a
name that cannot fade so long as the
human soul continues to yearn for
freedom and for a peace tolerable to
those who love liberty enough to VOL
unteer to suffer for it.

An interesting experiment was made
recently In local garden to sec how long
1t would take to attract birds.
The results should be of great interest
to all persons who somehow have the
idea that feeding the wildbirds is an
esoteric rite, or that it necessarily re-
quires special apparatus
In this case, about pound OF mixed
seed and grain was thrown beneath a
heavy overhang Of rose vines.
This was at 10 o'clock in the morning.
BY II o'clock, one bird had found the
treasure trove.
BY noon. at least three dozen songsters
were busy there
Two quirrels also found the food, and
spent the rest of the day busily burying
sunf1ower seeds all over the yard.
Very few such seeds come up. They
are buried too deeply. In most cases
they are dug up and eaten long before
they get chance to terminate.
The earth at the base of the climbing
rose-in this case a DR.. Van Fleet
proved as acceptable to the birds as any
manmade feeding station.
If an elaborate station had been
erected, made with shelves and hopper
for grain, fitted with watering pan, and
so on, it could not have had a better
turn out" of birds than the plain earth
beneath the vine.
The tangled growth of this big rose
had made natural tent overhead, with
many canes on which the songsters could
rest. between bites.
Birds like nothing better than such a
situation.
In all but the heaviest rains the food
will be kept dry.
Do not imagine that the situation will
hide the seeds from the birds.
These fellows are mighty keen when
it comes TO smelling out something to
eat!
If any prior feeding has ever been
done in the yard. the songsters which
live in the neighborhood will not forget
1t, you may be sure.
Newcomers to the sport of bird feed
ing may not realize, at first, that their
guests are divided, broadly speaking,
into two classes, those which stay with
us the year around, and those which
migrate
Fortunately. in the first classification
are some of the very finest of all birds,
including the chickadees, titmice, nut
matches song sparrows. cardinals, blue
jays, mockingbirds; in the second. scarlet
tanager, wood thrush, catbird, various
Warblers, etc.
Right now is perhaps the best time of
the year to begin to attract members of
both these classes.
Scores of birds are on their way South.

friendly garden, especially if food is
