The Star on June 4. 1901, printed a
telegram from Vancouver reporting that
Frank Lascelles, "a
Tragedy in wealthy English
British Columbia ranch owner resid-
ing on Thunder
hill, near Golden, British Columbia, had
shot and killed Chinese cook. "Lascelles
is related to the Earl of Harewood and
is cousin Of Sir Frank Lascelles, British
Ambassador to Germany" He ''became
demented through brooding over a
fancied insult in connection with his
being called to give evidence in a suit
over the ownership of horse and ac-
cuSed the cook, who had served him for
five. years, of being a burglar. After
his arrest, Lascelles became a raving

the Circus by Herbert S. Stone & Co,
Chicago, explaining that:
MIR. Coup was one of the pioneer show
men OF the United States. :. He had
engaged IN some. enormous enterprises
and knew the tented spectacle in every
phase. 1t was he who invented the rail-
road show which revolutionized the old
time methods of wagon travel. His rem
iniScenceS throw much light upon
the processes Of this great entertain
ment. Mr.. Coup could doubtless have
told even more startling secrets about
the business than he did divulge, but
what his chapters do reveal is enough
to change some opinions Of the lives and
practices of the showmen and their help
ers. The exciting adventures of the old
days. the willy devices Of managers. the
Transformation Of ordinary human beings

corps, the cost of maintenance, the adj

The Star of June S, half
a century ago, "vaSt numbers" of spec
tators went from London to EPSON for
the race. From an early hour the roads
and railroads southwark were densely
thronged with strange medley. A
constant stream of every conceivable
type of vehicle from the luxurious four

rolled toward the famous downs. An
exceptional number of motors evidenced
the growing popularity of automobil-

other days. when young America was
pushing ever onward new frontiers, that
book, especially in small cities, villages
and the open countryside, was the Bible.
Today in many of these homes you can
still find book on the center table. But
1t is not the Book of Books. 1t is a mail
order house catalog That substitution
OF reading matter is a vivid witness Of
what has been called "externalism."
And 1t is this tendency that gives, not
Just to cenSoriouS visitors from abroad,
but to serious-minded Americans, "a
sense of everything being in show win
dow screaming for attention, with moth

pie and the standard of living have
enormously improved, but the external
, instruments and the processes based on
them have invaded the mind and char
acter."
"a. The Master Teacher, who spake as
never man spake. told of businessman
who became enmeshed and immersed in
mere things; they shut out. everything
else, just as coin held in front of the
eye will blot out the stars. This man
thought entirely in terms of bigger
crops and bigger barns. Finally, he said
complacently, to his soul, 1--WE got plenty
laid up for many years-things galore;
take your ease-sink back and enjoy
yourself" Think of any one talking
thus to his soul. as If he could wrap his
spirit in a bank account or house 1t in

Pityingly Jesus said: You foolish mani
Tomorrow your name will be on the
obituary list; then whose shah these

Alas, that that man has so many
spiritual descendants. who build bigger
barns rather than more stately mansions
for their souls, and who with "hobbled
feet and blinded eyes grope down a mar
row gorge and call it life!"
A wise man was setting up a sign,
board pointing away from the terrible
tyranny of the tangible. to a life not
stored, but poured. when he wrote:
Count not thy life by gain, but by loss;
Not by wine drunk, but by wine poured

sacrifice,
And he who suffers most has most to

Spires Of the Spirit
7 Tyronnyof the Tangible

There is no tyranny like the thrall'
dom of things when they capture the
inner citadels of personality. One OF
life's direst temptations is to allow
things to get into the saddle and hold
the reinS. When that happens, life
becomes meaningless futility.
A certain man showed the unmis-
taxable symptoms of this lnalady in
a conversation with minister regard
ing the seeming unreality of spiritual
verities. The wonder and privilege of
prayer was referred to, and the man.
who evidently had Succumbed to the
tyranny of the tangible. bluntly said:
IT don't pray because it doesn't help
me to get ham and eggs!" When the
determining question of every situation
is What do ! get out of thiS?" the
one who asks it betrays the fact that he
is prisoner of greed.
At this commencement time the new
crop of graduates need to be warned
that this tyranny of things will ap-
propriate even an academic diploma, If
it is not well guarded. In one Of his
little books Henry Van Dyke speaks of
the possible attitudes one may take
to an education There is what he calls
bLlC OCCOIdVitC lQSd Al t1tlc, CQuCd-
tion is thought Of as an ornament.
Conscious of new powers and of cult
waited tastes there are those who spread
their degrees and their diplomas like
a proud peacock spreads his tail. Edu-
cation is thus thought of as highly
decorative appendage which enables
them to strut upon a pedestal, thank
ing God that they are not like other
people.
There are others who have what might
be called the marketable idea" of edu-
cation. The one question they have to
ask about any course of training is:
What will it get me?" A baccalaureate
speaker of this year calls that ''the
philosophy of the tin cup" One who is
dominated by this conception thinks of
himself as tool to be ground and sharp
ened. so that in the business or profess
sional world he can cut his way through
and cut others down.. To such, an edu-
cation is just selfish investment. with
eyes always upon the main chance and
upon later gate receipts.
But real education, which is not
smudged and cheapened by the tyranny

Qualification

Although the testimony to date seems
to confuse the public anent the Mac
Arthur hearings, editorial comment is
gradually bringing essentials into focus,
and we are beginning to see the forest
in spite of the trees.
Two points are beginning to stand out:
First: Asia may in reality have no
lnconSiderable Importance in Soviet
schemes. If Korea is important on the
east, so is Turkey on the west and Tibet
on the south
Second: For years no thoroughly ap-
proved plan of control for joint land and
sea operations had met universal ap-
proval. Now the Importance of the air
complicates the problem further. Hence
the present National Defense Act. Be-
fore this had been given a fair trial,
an important alteration was made: the
law was changed to permit the appoint
ment of military man as Secretary of
Defense. Some say this changes the
original plan so that the Navy and Air
Force are inadequately represented on
the National Security Council while the
State Department is co-equal (some say
even predominantl and that Gen, Mar
shall still retains the subordinate atti-
tude lngrained in military man when
representing the armed forces on this
supposedly civilian council.

Privote or Public?
I fear that Roy NJ" whose letter on
segregation in restaurants appeared
June 6, is somewhat scrambled in his
reasoning.
He claims to believe that "all men
should be given equal opportunity"
Equal opportunity to do what? Surely,
not to eat in public restaurants? If so,
why the grippe? He opines. "If were
in business for myself, and offering my
services to the public, think I should
have the right to choose whom I wished
to serve"
If the purpose of business is to serve
the public, it is public enterprise and
not private club. private club can
choose its clientele on any basis it elects.

Concerns FaiI
To Keep Records

Most wholesalers and ma1lufac-

Ohio are not keeping the required
records of their business opera
tions according to Office of Price
Sterilization officials.
District director Edward F.
Wagner stated Friday that a
survey of SO companies showed
that approximately 25Ro were
keeping the proper records for
compliance under the law.
Records kept must include the
prices on commodities delivered
or services offered during the per-
iod from Dec. 19 to Jan. IS, 1851.
Each seller must prepare a
statement showing the categories
of commodities or services in
which he made deliveries or Of
fered for delivery during that
period.
Enforcement officers of the
OPS are consulting with whole
salers and manufacturers in vi
