Here's another story about Grand-
father Jones. It happened a long time
ago and has no connection with any
thing or any one today. The post-Civil
war period was so entirely different.
The old man, he was not so old then,
got very angry at neighbor. The
neighbor was old DR.. Smith, an angry
man In his own right.
It is difficult today to picture the
characters Of those faraway years. with
their swirling passions from the war,

The old sores healed over. the heats

What they achieved turned into one

minds were still at hot heat. The con-
fict was still called the aWar of the

the Southern side were still called

chureh-stute in Britain

The succession of Queen Elizabeth II
to the British throne has pointed up the
interesting and important question Of
church and state In Great Britain.
Americans no doubt would read with
real interest Of the VOW her majesty will
take at the coronation service ito uphold
the Protestant faith in Britain" In Eng
land this means recognition of Prot
estant Episcopacy as the form of gov
ernment in the Church of England; in
byterianism as the form of government
in the Church Of Scotland.
The result of this dual recognition is
In effect that the reigning monarch is
an Episcopalian in England and Pres
byterian in Scotland. And if this makes
rather strange reading to the American
mind, it is to be recalled that there lies
behind this arrangement long and
sometimes bitter controversy for the
establishment of Presbyterianism IN
Scotland.
State control in England means that
the crown appoints all bishops ana
deans. ALI bishops. incumbents and Gu
rates must take an oath of allegiance to
the reigning sovereign before they are
consecrated. No change can be made
legally in doctrine or public worship OF
the church without an act Of Parliament
In Scotland since reformation times
the issue has been fundamentally dif-
ferent. Since Mary Queen Of Scots en-
deayored to prevent church gatherings
and met the successful opposition OF
John Knox, the Church OF Scotland has
iealously sought to maintain spiritual
freedom while remaining at the same
time national church.
When, in 1929, there took place the
historic union in Scotland OF the United
Free Church with the Parish Kirk, this
relationship Of church and state was re-
affirmed in no uncertain language. The
Declaratory Article states: "This church
Chat is, the Church of ScotlanO as part
of the Universal Church. wherein the
Lord Jesus Christ has appointed gov
ernment in the hands OF church oftice
bearers, receives from Him, its divine
king and head, and from Him alone, the
right and power. subject to no civil au-
thority to legislate and to adjudicate

does not in any way affect the char
acter of this government and jurisdic-
ton as derived from the Divine Head
of the church alone. or give to the civil
authority any right OF interference
with the proceedings or Judgment Of
the church, within the sphere of its
spiritual government and jurisdiction" !"
On the other hand. like the Church
OF England, the Church Of Scotland
is state church. It owns its own prop-
erty Gas indeed do the free churches OF

Already Too Late

Senator Morse was rnotivated by q very
genuine and substantial concern when he urged
General Eisenhower to come home and cam
paign for the Republican nomination before
it is too late.
Without such an effort on General Eisen-
hower's part it is very doubtful that he can get
the nomination. It is quite apt to 60 to Senator
Taft more or less by default.
The trouble is, however, that it is already
too late for General Eisenhower to come back
here and put on pre-convention campaign. In
his statement of last month"; announcing his
availability if drafted by the Republicans, the
NATO commander said: @He (Senator Lodge)
was correct in stating that would not seek
nomination to political Office. have frequently
and publicly expressed my refusal to do So !.
Under no circumstances win ask for relief
from this assignment in order to seek nomira-
ton for political Office and shall not participate
in the pre-conVention activities of others who
may have such an intention with respect to me"
There is an unrealistic quality about that
statement. If General Eisenhower would be
willing to come back and make campaign
after receiving the nomination, which presumably
is the case, there is only one reason why he
should not be willing to make some kind of
campaign for the nomination itself That
reason is the assumed necessity for his presence
in Europe, and this is not very convincing For
If the NATo project could go forward success
fully after the nominating convention without
General Eisenhower it is difficult to believe that
he could not be spared for two or three months
prior to the convention
The general, however, has burned his bridges.
Perhaps the January statement was unWise But
he made it, and he cannot renounce it now. To
do that would be to degrade himself In the eyes
OF those who believe in his integrity and his
good faith These are the qualities that appeal
to many thousands of people who would like to
see General Eisenhower in the White House,
and it is in this respect that it is too late for
him to acquiesce in the kind of appeal Senator
Morse has made.
All that the Eisenhower boosters can do
now is to wage the most vigorous campaign that
is possible in his behalf. It has been said that
there is no such thing as a genuine "draft" in
politics, and the odds are against it in this
instance. But a fighting chance remains, and
those who believe in General Eisenhower and who
want him for President will do their best this
year to show that there are exceptions to all
rules.

Give 1t a Permanent Burial

Like the proverbial bad penny, the iIl-ad-
vised scheme for hydroelectric power dam on
the Potomac River keeps turning up every
so often. Supposedly discarded permanently
long ago. the idea has been reSurrected again
In the annual report of the Federal Power Com
mission. The commission was one of the earliest
advocates of the dam plan. The Army engineers
took an interest in it during the war; but dropped
the whole thing like hot potato when fiery
opposition arose from many directions.
The commissions report says that dam
across the river near Chain Bridge could gen.
crate enough electricity to supply 250,0O0 homes.
There may come time in the distant future
when shortage of electricity will justify har-
Messing the Potomac for power purposes. There
Is no such shortage now, nor is one likely to
develop in the foreSeeable future. In the abb
sence of such an emergency it would be un-
thinkable to wreck the Capper- -Cramton Act
program for preservation and development Of
the natural scenery, Of the Potomac gorge be-
tween Washington and Great Falls.
There is no way in which hydroelectric
power plant and dam could be fitted into the
long range plans for protecting the river and
It's shores from commercial exploitation. The
Government and the States of Maryland and
Virginia already have invested large sums in
the George Washington Memorial Parkway, bor-
dering the river. The plan for extending this
parkway to Chain Bridge and beyond would be
seriously imperiled if hydroelectric power prof.
ect were to invade the Potomac Valley.
The powerdam proposal ought to be given
permanent burial-preferably in the Potomac
at floodtide.

The Right to Counsel

1t is hard to understand why all the fuss is
being raised over Commissioner Young's choice
OF lawyer to represent him before the Senate
District Crime Subcommittee
Mr.. Young wants Daniel B. Maher as his
attorney. But Arnold Bauman, counsel for the
committee, objects to Mr.. Mal1er and the COM
mittee pending final decision on the point is
marking time SO far as the Commissioner is
concerned.
Mr. Bauman's objections are that Mr. Malaer
has appeared before the committee himself as
witness, and that he also represented former
Police Chief Barrett when the latter was before
the committee Mr.. Bauman has not said spe-
cifcally why he thinks these circumstances
should disqualify Mr. Maher but he seems to
think that If Mr.. Maler were to participate In
the committees executive sessions with Mr..
Young some improper advantage might be
gained or that some kind of a cooked-up defense
would be facilitated.
This, it may be suggested, does not make
much sense. If Mr.. Maher and Commissioner
Young are seeking some special advantage,
what is to stop the Commissioner, If he should
appear before closed session of the committee
without counsel or with some other lawyer, from
telling Mr.. Maher what the testimony was? II
SO inclined, they could cook up a defense that
way as well as if Mr.. Maher were present.
The plain fact is that Commissioner Young
Is ready to go before the committee in closed
or open session and answer it's questions. He
wants Mr.. Maher as his attorney because Mr..
Maher has represented him for a long time
and is thoroughly familiar with the details of
many of the matters under inquiry. That seems
to be perfectly reasonable attitude, and it
would seem that the committee ought to get on
with It's questioning without trying to tell Com
missioner Young whom he can select, OF cannot
select, to advise him.

The cIorks' Butterflies

Dr. and Mrs Austin H. Clark, Smithsonian
husband -and-wife team, have been studying the
butterflies of Virginia for many years; and the
fruit of their labors recently came from the
press-a book of interest to the professional and
the lay reader alike It constitutes a catalog
of the Lepidoptera order from the coastal plain
to the western mountains Of the Old Dominion.
The number of species and subspecies included
is 154 Some are visitors. Several are 'inmi-
grants" from Europe. A few have disappeared
completely during the past half century.
What DR.. and Mrs. Clark have discovered
is that butterflies have good deal in common
with other creatures. Their habits are rather
more like those of humans than might be sup
posed. For example, they flourish where food
is easy to get and when conditions Of climate
are most congenial. But they also are individ-
ualiStic; they show decided preferences; they
move away from places where they are not COM
fortable-parts of the State where men have
spoiled nature, specifically. Polluted air and
polluted water are hostile to butterflies, and the
butterflies know It, perhaps better than people
do.
The Clarks are scientists. of course. but their
book is not overloaded with technical jargon.
Any amateur student could follow their text
without trouble. They start with Lethe Creola,
family Satyridae, in Princess Anne County and.

OF course. many Of the Virginia butterflies
cross the Potomac into the District Of Columbia
and Maryland This means that the labors Of
DR.. and Mrs. Clark since 1888 have significance
to our own community and that of our Mont
gonery and Prince Georges neighbors. The new

Posing of an. Age

John Galsworthy, in his "Forsyte Saga"
wrote words which will be remembered today.
'The Queen" he said, "was dead, and the air
of the greatest city upon earth gray with unshed
tears" Soanes, fur-coated and slk-hatted,
crossed Park Lane on the morning of the
funeral procession, to the rails of Hyde Park.
Little moved though he ever was by public
matters, this event, supremely symbolical, this
summing-up of a long, rich period, impressed
his fancy"
When Victoria had come to the throne in
1887, coaches still ran; men wore stocks; shaved
their upper lips ate oysters out of barrels; tigers
swung behind cabriolets; women said, La!' and
owned no property; there were manners in the
land and pigsties for the poori unhappy devils
were hanged for little crimes, and Dickens had
just begun :" But during GA years of the
Queens reign, things had changed. Now, in
1901, more than Queen was going to her
rest, woman who had braved sorrow, lived
well and wisely according to her lights :.
Yes, the Age was passing. What with this
trade-unionism and Labour fellows in the House
of Commons, with continental fiction, and some-
thing in the general feel of everything not to
be expressed in words, things were very
different. :.
Soames heard Annette whisper "How sad it
is and beautiful" Then, "there it was-the
bier of the Queen, coffin of the Age slow pass
ing! And as it went by there came mur-
muring groan from all the long line of those
who watched. Strange sound, indeed.
Tribute Of an Age to its own DEATH" The sound
followed the procession, "it marched alongside"
mile after mile and faded into distance
imperceptibly
London today sees history repeat. Another
age, bad and good as all ages are, is gone. Yet
nothing truly fundamental is altered England
will eat supper tonight and sleep to wake for
tomorrows experience of work and hope and the
business of carrying on" So the ages are
bridged, and the struggle never ceases.
