Rabindranath Tagore. Those who cherish "Song Offerings" as one of the rarest of literary treasures will rejoice to learn that its author, Rabindranath Tagore, of Bengal, India, has recently been accorded the Nobel prize. In selecting these delicately chiseled psalms as the greatest work of the year "of an idealist tendency," the trustees of the famous will have revealed better judgment than literary executors are wont to exhibit. Tagore is the son of a famous line, as well known for its scholarship and literary genius as for its wealth. His grandfather was the founder of the influential Landholders' League and his father was christened "the great sage" by ad

miring students. His mother added another strain of genius to the already highly gifted stock and was responsible to a degree for Rabindranath's extraordinary sensibilities. When a lad the poet often played truant from school in order to join Nature's own classes in the fields and would grow as excited over some stray flower or unusual cloud as Yankee youths at a football match. Seeing the routine work of the ordinary class room was little to his liking, Rabindranath's father devoted several years to a journey through the Himalayas, leading the susceptible young poet to the most impressive scenes of the great gorges and all the time filling his mind with the masterpieces of philosophy, science, history and literature of all nations. Seldom has a lad received such a training. In the early part of his career the young man wrote love lyrics of such enthralling sensuous beauty India's staid sages feared lest he

corrupt the youth of Bengal. But the ripening experiences of the years deepened and broadened his mind until novr the critics class him with that band of lofty souls such as King David, Thomas a' Kempis and the authors of the Upanishads. His poems are sung in chapels, whistled on the streets, chanted by travelers, read and cherished by all his fifty million countrymen. Before his latest verse can get to the printer loving disciples have learned it by heart and started it by word of mouth across Bengal. Often, it is said, the oral version outruns the printed, and travelers tell of hearing old khaki clad men softly singing his poems as they tread up the highways at night and in the rain. To those unfamiliar with them it is almost impossible to convey any adequate impression of their. nature or beauty. The poet himself has translated a number of them in an English volume called "Gitanjali" or "Song Offerings." These are written in prose form but retain something of the etherial lyrical music, the depth of feeling and the breadth of thought of the original. William Butler Yeats confesses that he carries the slender volume with him as a constant companion and often must turn his face from fellow travelers to hide his tears, so deeply do the stanzas move him. And when the author himself was in England a few months ago the simple dignity of his character, the extraordinary magnetism of his personality, and an indefinable, subtle appeal in his being as a whole so impressed his English acquaintances he barely escaped being made into a cult. As slight, as fugitive as his poems seem to be at first glance, they grow deeper with famil

iarity and constantly open up new vistas of thought. In fact, the volume, small as it is, contains what is really the distilled essence of a great philosophy of life, an essence incarnated in a literary form that will charm and please as long as literature lasts.

Mexican Intervention. No person has a better right to be heard on the Mexican question than John Barret, directorgeneral of the Pan-American Union. He has long been on the ground, is unprejudiced, and is not afraid to speak his mind. At a recent address in Chicago Mr. Barret declared that 200,000 men would be needed for an army of intervention. And this number would need constantly to be supplemented as the long struggle would drag along. "It is no exaggeration," he said, "to assert the United States is facing in the Mexican situation a far greater peril than the masses of people realize." The average jingo is cocksure the United States could whip Mexico in a fortnight ; he cries for intervention; he demands that Uncle Sam ' protect the life and property of American citizens in Mexico." Mexico could not be whipped in two weeks. A slight acquaintance with the conditions there would reveal to anyone the utter fallacy of this notion. Intervention would mean a guerilla warfare drawn out across nobody knows how many years. It would lose us the hardly won confidence of all the twenty Latin-American Republics with their 70,000,000 inhabitants; it would destroy with one swoop our South and Central American trade relationships established after

such labors and at such a cost ; and the war would cost us a million a day during its term and another million a day for pensions later on. And what would be gained by such butchery ? Nothing. After peace had been declared Mexico would be no nearer self government than now. Her 10,000,000 Indians would be a3 helpless to vote; her constitution would be as futile; her ballot boxes would have as scant recognition. People can't be civilized by an outsider in two or three years. They must be left free to achieve civilization for themselves. And the war would do much to neutralize the trade advantages from the Panama Canal. That in Jitself should deter this nation from intervention. Those who damn the Mexicans as a bloodthirsty set with no principles and no self control because they now have a civil war on had had better remember how a generation ago this enlightened land went into a five years' civil carnage infinitely more savage than anything in the present Mexican imbroglio.

Jack Johnson's Defeat. According to the latest from abroad Jack Johnson has been shorn of his title to heavyweight champion of the world. The international boxing union considered that, inasmuch as the big black man has refused repeatedly to accept any challenge, the title is now void. It is up to the huskies who are willing to claim it and defend it against all comers. Ever since that memorable Fourth of 1910 when Jim Jeffries collapsed, Johnson has been much in the lime-light, has been dined, wined and fondled everywhere. He has enjoyed to the limit the emoluments that come with pugilistic success. And he has repeatedly refused to fight. Which showed his wisdom. Three years of soft living will "fix" the hardest fighter. It was the soft living rather than Johnson which whipped the California boilermaker. And Johnson has showed his keen sense in sidestepping the inevitable defeat merely by refusing to fight. So he will pass out, "the undefeated champion." But there are some who, after following his career during the past three years, will feel that there is one man Johnson has never yet conquered, and that is himself.

Now that Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont's Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving has become a success why won't seme hardy pioneer come forward with a Society for the Prevention of Useless Fashions? Does not the fashion fever do as much to lift the price of living? Is it not just as compulsory as giving useless Christmas gifts? And is it not demoralizing? Leafing over the style record for the past five years is like looking through a child's picture book wherein every animal picture is cut in two in order that the youngster may form monsters and monstrosities by hitching on the hindquarters of one beast with the forequarters of another. One year the lady comes out pensively retiring beneath the ample shade of her Merry Widow; the next year she appears headgeared in a wee mite of a hat that reminds one of a loaf cake with two. br6om straws stuck in one end ; during one season she snakes along in a tight skirt that gives her figure a fine sausage-like effect, to appear the very next in a ballooning skirt with hobbles at the bottom which same is followed by other equally astonishing creations which the propriety of the press forbids our naming. But the men are quite as bad. The young weasel struts about this year with a shoe-string tie buried behind a choking collar, to be followed next with a collar that squats all over a short front that lies beneath the folds of a nightmarish Balkan tie. One season brings him out in a pegtop trouser that sets him off like the Old Reliable Dutchman and the next sends him straining along in trousers that painfully reveal his dimensions. If these kaleidoscopic changes were due to irrepressible demands of individual originality such serious minded persons as ourselves could never complain, but the very point is that these changes do not express but rather smother individual tastes. According to our notion a costume should grow up out of a person's very being revealing, like every true work of art. the inward spirit and intent. A woman's hat should be a kind of blossoming out of the soul it covers ; a man's tie should express something of his disposition. But how can these things be so long as we all must toe the mark drawn by some crazy Frenchman, half drunk with absinthe?

SELECTIONS FROM "GITANJALI" BY RABINDBANATH TAGORE. The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of aees dancing in my blood at this moment.
