Ros3 of the University of Wisconsin said in a recent address: "Cheap travel and full steerages make mock of the ideal of -nationality. Any prosperous
country which' leaves its doors ajar will presently find itself not the home of a nation, but a polyglot boarding house. The thriving areas of the world will come to be populated by a confused parti-colored mas3 of divers languages and religions and of he most discordant moral and economic standards. Coolies at the breech clout stage of attire, such as you , find in the back districts; of the Far East, will jostle the descendants of the Puritans. "For a people ,wliich has arrived at an adaptive birth rate to "admit the surplus population begotten , by ..other peoples which multiply without taking thought for the morrow 'is virtually to cut its own throat. It is a painless death, to be sure, 'which extends over a century or two and proceeds; without clash or scandal, but no
people which foresees it will adhere to the fatal policy of the open door. Dogmas of the open door and the melting pot become absurd in a time when population rolls hither and thither about the globe like particles of quicksilver."
What of America's Pasteurs? "Pasteur, whose anniversary was L celebrated throughout the civilized world yesterday, was the son of a peasant. His father was a French tanner," I says the Kansas -City Star. "But the boy , was sent to school, he received proper training, he came in contact with fertile idea3, and he became one of humanity's great benefactors. "It is the essence of democracy to keep the door of opportunity open to its Pasteurs and others like him. That familiar principle is emphasized and emphasized again in the recent book 6f that brilliant public servant, Herbert Hoover. So long as America makes it possible for the boy to win whatever position his talents fit him for, he insists that "America is safe. ' 'An inquiry into the birthplaces of leading scientific men in this country developed that the
great majority of them came from states ac
cessible to adequate schools. States remote from
such institutions had small quotas of dis
tinguished scientists. The trouble was not with the sons of those states, but with the lack of oprjgrtunity. "These are facts for every legislator to consider in connection with the programs that are
to be presented this winter for the development
of rural schools, and of the state universities."

JACINTO BENEVENTE Jacinto Benevente, one of the five
men to win the 1922 Nobel prize, is a
Spanish playwright He is the second in his country to receive the prize for literature. It is really a double prize, cov
ering tne years ot 1921 and 1922. Benevente is held by most English-
speaking people to , be a writer of the I heavier dramas j
a.nd tragedies, but in his own country he is famous for his humor, wit and satire. He is 55 years old and was born in Madrid, wBere he studied law. He never
practiced the profession, however, being from the beginning interested in the theatre. His first play, "Thy Brother's House." was serious, but even at the start he showed less anxiety about the plot than he did about characterization. A reputation for bitter satire gained in this country by the first of his plays to be done hereof "The Bonds of Interest," has not yet been
lived down, although he has written
much in a different vein. Spain is very proud of this playwright and points to him as a modern Ixpe de Vega or Calderon. He is said to be an admirer of these ancients and is bound to produce a certain number of their works in his position as director of the Teatro Espanol in Madrid. Ernevente is expected in the United States soon to see the production of his play in English called "Fields cf Ermine."

"In fanning the cards (flg. 1) two kings are concealed behind the top jack. Thus six cards and not four are placed n the top of the pack. The two cards that go into the center of the pack are the kings. When the pack is cut there are three jacks on top and one on the bottom, so that the cut brings all four together.

During the year 1912 more money was expended on the Richmond city parks than ever was expended in any one year, according to the annual report of Park Superintendent Edward Hollarn. During the year $7,800 was expended. The main things accomplished were the remodeling of the road in Glen Miller park, building a new arch and bouldering the ravine in the front of the park, building a greenhouse, cleaning the lake, building new fences, procuring new benches for all the parks, and transplanting and trimming all trees and shrubbery.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
Br FREDERICK J. II ASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 29. The president of the United States, together with his cabinet, and many members of both houses of congrfiss and other government officials are giving a good deal of thought to the moral by-products of the prohibition amendment to the constitution. Mr. Harding announced recently that practically the whole of that day's cabinet session was devoted to a discussion of the public attitude toward prohibition. This has been true of other cabinet days and in addition many law-makers and administrators of the law at Washington are spending much time in earnest discussions of the effect of the eighteenth amendment.. . ' ' The problem which is worrying the president and other officials is: Are
the American people in danger of losing their innate respect for law through the spectacle of wholesale and continuous violation of the Volstead
act? Wrill the effect of violation of
this law bring other laws into dis repute? ' .
Prohibition has been a vehicle for the whole gamut of jokes which can be
attached to such laws and fundament
ally to the idea of into:f eating liquor.
This has aided measurably in building
up in the minds of many Americans
the opinion that prohibition itself is a
humorous matter. What worries the
officials, here is that it is possible for the people to persist in the joke view
of any law, no maver what its subject
They are worried because theirs is the
task, first, of making the laws and,
second, of enforcing them, and if a sit
uation develops where public co-oper
ation is lacking, the business of gov
ernment will become extremely difficult
While prohibition Is the most per
plexing problem immediately before
the administration, the moral attitude
which the president has defined has
extended already to other statutes.
Members of the house committee on
the judiciary recently had a discussion
of the astonishing relaxation in the
public mind on the subject of perjury.
in the Hiatish law, wbere most of our
laws find their springs, perjury was
considered a very serious crime. In this country, until recently, the same
DIME NOVELS I've toiled since day was breaking.
I'm tired and broken-kneed, and all my heart is aching for something

Human souls, no wont by bogus sages
no plotless rigmaroles. I drop my thread
and needle, I dump my checkerboard, and think of good old Beadle, whose
works I once adored. The heroes

and left a gross of dead men all cord
ed up in piles. The red men caught
the heroes and bound them to tb
stake, and like so many. Neras, de

to comprehend; a 10-cent understand
ing could grasp them to the end!
Though full of of scrap and quarrel, and corpses on the ice .they all were strictly moral, and virtue conquered vice. And there was always action
that kept a man awake, and gave him
satisfaction and soothed his inward
ache. And there were love and spoon

lovely damsel3 swooning, and palfrys here and there. New authors come and wheedle, and say their works are "great, but how I yearn for Beadle, whose books are out of date!
opinion has been held. To gwear to a
falsehood i-s heavily punishable and
the old-fashioned American recoiled
from the crime almost as strongly as from murder. A canvass of the situation in the courts of the United States
made in the discussion by the members of the judiciary committee revealed
that perjury is getting to be a com
mon thing and, furthermore, often goes
wholly unpunished.
One member of the committee point
ed out what he regarded as a curious
moral twist in the minds of modern
perjurors. They were, he saw, in
clined to regard perjury in court as a
sort of technical crime rather than a high moral crime. Perjury, it appears,
is not an index to the ordinary honesty
of the perjuror. Many a man who
would recoil from telling a lie to his
neighbor or in business or in any of
the usual affairs of life, thinks nothing
of making oath in court to a statement
of which he may not be at all certain
and sometimes knows to be untrue. In
a word, the court oath has come in the
minds of many citizens, the- members
of the committee discovered, to mean
nothing more than a matter of tech
nical court routine. The solemn function of placing the right hand on the
Bible and pronouncing the oath has
degenerated in many cases into the
making of a gesture and the mumbling
of a few words.
It can readily be understood that the
men who are charged with the making;
lost of the fundamental difference in
laws. "
A prohibition law Is a sumptuary
law. It long has been recognized by
the great legislators of the world that there is a statute forbidding- it and
that which is fundamentally wrong as
a moral proposition.
Two good examples are the customs
law and the law against murder. It Is
unlawful to smuggle dutiable goods into the United States because the sta
tutes say that all persons must declare such goods and pay a tariff on them. However, it is not, of itself,
morally wrong, to bring goods across an imaginary line or take them ashore by law. There is a law against murder but it is an entirely different sort of law. Everybody, from the most unlettered savage to the most polished
scholar, knows it is wrong to commit
a murder. It is not wrong merely be
cause the law says it is wrong; it i3 morally wrong as a fundamental fact The analogy drawn by officials at Washington is that there appears to be a danger that people will lose sight of
these differences. The customs law
and the prohibition law are both of
sumptuary nature. It Is wrong to smuggle and it is wrong to drink because the law forbids these actions. Both laws are frequently violated but most of the violators do not feel that they have committed any moral sins. It is wrong to murder and it is wrong to swear to a falsehood, not only because there are forbidding statutes against ""those actions, but because thoso crimes are innately and of themselves wrong. To show the case in another way: there are many people in the United States who would vote to repeal the
prohibition and the customs laws;
After Dinner Stories Elsie's father .wishing to delight his daughter's heart, brought home a kitten for her one day. However, the kitten soon proved to be unfortunately afflicted. Every day it had a fit a,nd after a week or bo it died. Elsie's father straightaway bought
another kitten, and brought it home. This kitten, however, was even more luckless. Each day it had two fits, and finally it also died. Still Elsie's father was not to be discouraged. He brought home r. third kitten. This poor creature socn fell a victim to the prevailing malady. It had three fits every day. However, it did not die. On the contrary, it lived to a ripe old age. Elsie's father described this strange case to a noted physician, and asked him for an explanation.

at such a development What the
president and his advisors fear is that thi3 attitude gradually will creep into the opinions of the people regarding the whole body of law. The favorite ancedote used by students of this curious situation illustrates this attitude of mind forcibly.
A man was receiving a call from a bootlegger. He asked the bootlegger what kinds of liquor he could furnish. The illicit vendor named over his wares, gin, whisky, wine, et cetera.
"Can't you get me some absinthe?"

not," the bootlegger replied. "Don't
you know It is against the law to sell absinthe?"

Lawmakers see In it an index to the attitude of the public mind. They see in it the revelation that Americans subconsciously are interpreting for themselves the laws of the land and are making a difference between what laws they are willing to obey and what laws they cheerfully violate without any feeling of compunction. Line Between Legal and Moral Wrongs. The serious point which is so deeply concerning the lawmakers is that the line between legal wrongs and moral wrongs is being obliterated. The equally blithe violation of the Volstead act and of the laws against perjury is an illustration . of how sight is being
