Tliey .ire n:.ible to pacify themselves lo the pouu of agreement on a program of action. The "irre orw i'lablcs" are , r.z lut harJ where. .t they appf.ir b-for" th- public. Similarly is the rcactinnism of th- senate majority on general principles beink,- hit. So m;nv elements will enter into the hiisiiu.-s t'l producing a platfi'itn for tiie party that a ch'Mti- efmver.tion is ant i ipated. Cti the one hand will b the ostriches who. apiar ntly forgetful that we were evrr in a world war, are talking about our splendid isfdation and uiintr that no attention be paid to conditions in Europe; on the other is the eneo-.iracm nt triven to every brand of hyphenate that the g. o. p. will sonport it in attacks upon this or that one of our allu.- or uj on Wilson for some r.f Iiis ruling" against special groups. AH th.-e things will ome back to the z. o. p. when it takes up the preparation of its platform. It will have a tremendous job of '"compromising" In its own house, and, after the results of its efforts to "compromise" party rlifi erences in I'.'U and repeatedly since, the outlook is not bright for it. On the other hand, the Wilson democrats present a united front and a record for achievement that proves their capacity for solving groat j roblem.s meaning by Wilson democrats, those not öft percent republican. The country knows where they stand and the world knows it. The Wilsonian democracy proposes holding everything that was gained by troops of America in the world war. and they are not being lulled to -pinele?ness by g. o. p. propaganda. They do not consider the terms imposed upon the enemy as "too severe' and they have nothing hut contempt for the hyfhenate. They are for the League of Nations as the fulfillment of the American pledge that the world must be made safe for democrat y. and this will be rcafiirnud at San Francisco. To. W.

DETERIORATION IN TEACHING. The Cleveland P'ain le.,hr tells an interesting Mtory: the .story of a you n it woman who was preparing to become a teacher. 1 1 er mintlw's not of high i;u t'ity. and she had the habit of quitting any task when it became di-ta-teful or discouraging, often v hen just a !ri'e more effort would have broagol her to .-in e-.

I bevaoi e i b nt to tlo- voung woman that mik s v'ie biick.t up she would fail. It was too much in. ill'' ; b.ck ui .-o lw left the normal school ;;nd tot k an erier ich. That was a year ago. Todav she ha; an emergency certi'ieate. and is actually ie.n hing a cHs- in the sani-1 city where she was M'ohing ibe c;ir o, foi .

Their form.il instruction is slipshod, and the inlhitPee of the teacher's personality, which s' it.il a factor in school life, is that of a slicker. The com e; n t woman who tauylit in thi room preint:!y hoi liad her wml imucascd year by year by the leaving of other tca'-hers until hrr health would no longer stand the ?r.in.

If your ehiV.rcb hM be-n in this room would you have liked the exchange they made when the 5plendid woman left ami the sli -shod girl came in? This case, in e-sentinls th same, differing only in slight details, i being repeated the country over a: the rate of many thousands of school rooms per tear. w "What are yea going to d" about it?
AVIATION NOT COMMERCIAL SUCCESS. The declaration by the heed of one of the largft manufacturer of airplanes in this country that commercial aviation is -till ;n the experimental stage and r.ot a present fart, and that years cf plodding effort will be required to perfect aircraft to the point where it w;ll be adapted to commercial use-?, will cause fonie surprL-e among those who have imagined that the day of the airplane for general purposes had arricd. He avers that the manufacture of airf-ans i not yt on a "dollar and cents basis." In the manufacture for use in war no rrg.-rd was given to cot. Tifcnty wrL. wanted and to ret enough cf them was
th only consideration. Hut to conduct the buine on a peac baata ii an entirely different proposition Mnee, while the war aoght a lot of young mn to My. it did not teach th"m how to earn money from the operation of the craft under peace condition. A rerjuifite to commercial fuccs that it shall he financially profitable, and no such result has been attained an, where, he believe?, on any considerable scale. That there is a future for commercial aviation he does not doubt, but that flying Is destined to become as common as motoring is a long way in th future and perhaps impossible because of the binding Hpaeo required. The views may hrow something like a eold chili on tho.ve who ;.ave dreamed of seeing "the heavens fill witli commerce." but the manufacturer is dealing with business fact while the others have indulged in fancy. Yet fancies may come true. "What was a toy at the beginning of the war became an effective fighting machine at its clo.se. The stress of necessity hastened its development. A commercial airplane must necessarily be different from a fighting machine. It must serve nn altogether altered purr ose. It must have storage space and lifting capacity. that was not demanded in war, if it is ablo to give commf icial service at a rate that will be attractive. The experiments abroad do not prove the commercial success of the enterprise, though machine capable of carrying a heavy load and traveling for long distances are in operrtton, for such are subsidized and are not compelled to earn their own way. The .situation at least will cause no fears by those engaged in various form of transportation on the earth that their facilities will soon be Junked because of the carrying trade taking to the air. The mass of goods and passengers seems likely to bo varriej on the ground for quite a while yet.
NEW WORLDS TO CONQUER. With the discovery of the north and south roles the earth may be said to have been completely explored. At any rate there are no places remaining by visiting which explorers can hope to receive the acclaim that has previously rewarded their achievements. It is but natural, therefore, that daring spirits should ttirn their attention to the possibility of exploring other planets. As Alexander the OrtM. after having made himself master of the world of his day. sighed for new worlds to conquer, so those ii v horn is found the spirit of Columbus, Capt. "ooU. TVary and Shackleton are looking longingly toward Mars. Capt. Collin-', a Pennsylvania flyer, again asserts his willingness to be shot to Mars or the moon in a locket, ami this in the face of some probability that the r lau to discharge such a projectile is not mere idle talk. A Hoston scientist has completed a part of the hotly of a rocket designed for the trip nd the Smithsonian institution in reported to have a ppropriatetl $C0.000 for the scheme. "Probably not one person out of a thousand doubts that if Capt. Collins should allow himself to be shot into space in a projectile traveling at th- rate of 2.JÖ0 miles an hour he would be committing suicide. Hut if mankind lacked such dauntless courage, if men feared to venture into the unknown, America never would have been discovered, the airplane never would have been perfected: in short, civilization would have made little progress. We owe much of oar rdvancement to r ersons willing to take risks little less fearful than that for which this .iviator offers himself.
A West Virginian wants $250 for two dogs he claims can locate stills. There are lots of men perfectly willing to try to locate stills for nothing and to pay for the product after they have found them.
h is said that the Dutch want to retain the Hohenzollern as an attraction for tourists. But imagine, if you can, that cowering wretch permitting himself to be ?een by strangers.

VWVA: SIM'I'CH AVh ANAllCHY. (Detroit Times.) 'ommentipg on the conviction of Anita Whitney, a California parlor belshevist lady, for criminal tryndiealLsm. the San Francisco Argonaut expresses the view that the British are wiser than we are in allowing "cranks of any and every cause, however fallacious or foclish. to mount soap boxes or ashcar and spie l away to their heart's content." An 1 it add its belief that "by this means vanity ant! over f xhilaration quickly exhaust themselves harmlessly. Nobody is the wore for it." Quito a few eople take this view of red oratory and its results. !ut while we may admit that the e mploymcnt of severe measures will not prevent the com mission of excesses, and may incite to violence certain individuals who under Ics.-? stringent rule would remain quiet, it is absolutely a non sequitur to argue that the granting of unlimited liberty to rah would do away with Times or red revolt. The Cnitccl States hail n preof of that fact in the case of 1 con Cznigosz. who admitted at his trial that thp intlammatory utterances of I'm ma Goldman incited him to slay William McKinley. Yet at that time, the hand of repression lay very lightly on red agitators in this country. What the Argonaut misses entirely is that to the teal red. all capitalistic government and all capitalist rules are the same, whether they are treating him bnicntly or with severity. Czolgosz killed the gentle McKinley as willingly as he would have slain a tiger like Clemenceau. Ix-nlne. Trotzky. and the I. W.

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
NOTHrX'G NI7VV. From time to time a sage appears (As sages every now and then do) And loudly promulgates his fears That women know far more than men do. And then he gravely bows his head. Obsessed with an uneasy notion. That what he just has gone, and said Will raise a thundering commotion. But no protesting voice Is raised To challenge his surprising statement, Xo man is puzzled or amazed Xo pleas are offered In abatement. And though his biologic facts Are very solemnly attested. And proofs adduced, nobody acts Disturbed, or even interested. The men have not a word to say. They cannot break a verbal deadlock. They entered in the very day That they embraced the slate of wedlock. They do not rage or fume or fret. For even though disposed to doubt It. They're too experienced to get In any argument about it. The women do not even bred This stern pronouncement of the sages. But calmly knit or talk or read The newest author s racy pages. For since, first pierced by Cupid's darts The yearning breast of Adam panted, The ladies, bless their little hearts. Have always taken it for granted.
land. The Creeks passed It on by a different route. The legend of the maiden turned Christian was naturally iiot specially popular. But the nam of Barbara was the feminine for the Greek word for stranger, a term applied to all who did not speak their language. Curiously enough, their combination of syllables, indicative of complete and impatient non-understanding, closely resembled our own cureless slang expression "b'ahblah." which we employ today to express our opinion of what we consider complete twaddle. It is an interesting fact that the adjective "barbarous" thus meant ignorant, at first, and only assumed its signiticance of wild cruelty, as a later and corrupted translation. Barbara's jewel is the pearl, so indicative of maidenhood. It promises her purity, popularity, and gentle charm. To dream of it means faithful friends. Monday is her Jucky day and five her lucky number. (Copyright, 19L'0.)

THURSDAY, APHIL 1. The planetary positions for this day give but little "encouragement in any avenue of human endeavor. Hoth business and domestic affairs are under affliction, and under the aspect's ruling there is not much promise of advancement or benetit. Under these sidereal positions, it is advisable to take things as quietly as possible, deferring all that may b put off until a more auspicious influence holds sway. It is especially desirable to refrain from speculation or any hazardous use of moneys; and pnpers. contracts and all writings should he signed with caution. Avoid quarrels, litigation and deception. Those whose birthday it is have the augury- of a quiet year. They should avoid law. quarrels and treachery. A t hibi born em this day will be disposed to be wilful, restless and unsettled.

BARBARA. Barbara, meaning stranger, has a strongly Roman Catholic significance and, in that church, is representative of artistic devotion. The eriginal Barbara was said to be a maiden of Heliopolis. who became a Christian.
and insisted upon bavinir three windows in her chamber instead of one in honor of the creed. Her Grecian father beheaded her with his ewn hands and whs straightway destroyed with thunder and lightning. St. Barbara became the? patroness of sacred architecture and a protectress from thunder and its imitation artillery. For this latter reason, her name was very frequently among daughters of soldiers. Indeed Barbara is regarded by some countries as a protectress of soldiers, and while her name is all gentle and rilled with piety, it ranks with the good old warrior names that stir the blood of men of many races to battle. Entcland named a village St. Barbe and it see!nM that nearly every family in that quaintly pretty ommunity had a Barbara at some time or other in honor of the home town. In this way. use of the name spread throughout Enj;-
