ARE YOU A GRAPHOMANIAC? "Wo know now -what ia responsible for the spring poem; rtltto, thoso hört storiea novelettes, if you pas, that como to ui every little while, and which peevo tho apirlr.ff authors when we; well, "cannot find space for them." It is unkind to tell it, but the world Is entitled to a record of its discoveries. Maybe we are merely practicing what we explain. This inordinate desire to wrie and to attach undue Importance to what, one writes is "graphpmanla," as defined anI de?crib'J to the French academy by M Uergson. It L? a disease, and one that takea various forms. Ever write your name over and over apain? Efvcr have a consuming desire to put It on walls, fences, trees, in book.1, on desks? Ever have an irresistible passion to write letters? Just write and write and. write? And tend 'em to people you hardly know and who could hardly be exacted to be interested in your problems? You are ft graphomanlac! JL IkTßson say these are forms of graphomaniacy; says the graphonnanlac is really quite common: "He is a prey to the irresistible need of writing'. Tho subject copies and reproduce every thought that comes to him. He oncemight have produced original work, but once the disease Kcts him, he Io.e-s that power, yet continues to v rite and writp and write." It help. us to understand. Maybe we will be mora considerate hereafter; make more diligent effort to find room for the production of our graphomania literateurs. THE PARENTS OF THE OLD FOLKS. More than once throughout history, the biblical prophecy "a little child fchall lead them" hafl had the right of way. We haven't noticed it so much but a livina: example lurks just around the corner. School children are to be taught lire prevention lessons, if the forest service can persuade legislatures to enact Laws compelling this addition to the educational system. The prime reason for fire prevention lessons la the conservation of forests by the prevention of forest flres. RurM school children will cooperate with foresters In saving the trees. It is proposed, too, that fire prevention lessons be taught children in city schools. Somo of them are in forests at some time of their lives. When net concerned with fore3t3 these city dwellers are concerned in thlnpr more easily burned than forest their own homes, for Instance. Ftro prevention lessons will be fine for the children. They will help the children in two ways. First the children will learn how to prevent firefl; second, they can teach their parents how to reduce tho hundreds of millions of dollars c.t tire losses this country has to make good every year.

MR. LAMONT AND MR. HARDING. What Mr. Thomas W. Limont, financial expert with the American peace delegation at Paris, told Treat-elect Hardin?, at the latter gentleman's Florida resort, regarding Woodrow Wilson as a peace diplomat, appears to have opened the pre-eident-IfeCt'fl eys. lie has fünce shown a willingness vo dine with the president at the white house. We hope he will have the manliness, when he meets the jresident, to beg hin pardon, and confess himself the uninformed, unstatesmanlike statesman, that hit conduct aj a Penator, and later as a candidate, ts fast proving that he was. Yet Mr. Lamont told Mr. Harding nothing, new. He had told the ame thing before; that Is, told it perhaps- with less of Daweslan emphasis, and too. It was before and in the midst of the campaign when regard for facts, for truth, or anything sensible was outside the category, it seems, of Hardlngoque consideration. AH he told Pres't-elect Harding was that It La fals-, unjust, and positively without foundation, to accuse Pres't Wülson of any secret understanding with France. England, or other European debtors, that they would be freed from their obligation due this country; that he never e-ven insinuated as much, and that the whole concoction i an admixture of European propaganda with anti-Wilson partisan hate here In America, spread by designing devils to besmirch the greatest world statesman of a century. Some writers say Mr. Lamont becamV almost sj profane in addressing the next president, as Gen. Dawes did in talking to the house investigating committee. The next president apparently reached the conclusion that Mr. Lament meant what he was sayir.g. and it may have dawned upon him in connection, that there are several good, red-blooded Americans who have grown weary and determined to resent the unprincipled, cheap ward polltics that has played football with out international affairs, r.ow quite to the limit. The country, an. I the world, have suffered Quite enough from what Col. Dawes chose to term ".uch p!n-headed partisanship." which Mr. Lamont appears to have reIterated. Mr. Harding will go into ofTice entirely free from fecrtt entanglements, the result cf Preset Wilson's diplomacy. There have 1-fen no secret understandings. All -the understandings the president had In Paris were brought back on paper and were IaM before the t-engre; that is. all except Franco-Engli.Th-Amerlcun treaty, which. It was understood was to be supplemental to the treaty of VerffallU, tnd not to be actec upon until the latter had been ratified. Pres't Wilson win over there representing

tne united .States, not to get the United States Into trouble, and not being a very free talker, probably W3i aa careful with his promises numerous cf his f.anr.el-mouthed critics would have been even including ecme senators. It I Quite like the rttment made In Paris by ("Jen. Tnsker II. IllLss, long charged up to the p.rc5!dent and persisted In, notn-lthttandlng the general's repeated insistence that the remarks complained of were hlf, and not those of the executive. One iruch had to do with our sending troop to the near eart in ea; of trouble In the Balkans. America will eventually come to undertand, perhape, the source of much of this villlncation; the sinister, underhanded, unprlncipledness of It. Mr. IlArding. maybe, ia beginning to see the light already; thanks to the Umont visit to Florida, particularly with reference to thcee European obligations. Or did Mr. Harding know better all tho while, being no larger than to pretend otherwise until now, an he approaches his high office, feeling in the responsibility that he faces, the harne that he and his party have brought upon him? Responsibility, Indeed, eometimes brings a man to his senses. o SEEDS FOR GARDENS. If you are out ajiin thb3 year to fight old High Con; fight him In your back yard; sort of "shadowfight" him don't forget that Uncle Sim Is ready to furnish you with eQuipment. Washington mail sacks, loaded with the 1921 consignment of free government seeds, are speeding over the railsto almost each of the moat remote townships in the country. More money is being Fpent by the government to supply the.e needs thL year than ever before. Seeds that cost nearly J40,000 are being distributed for free trial. Mall order seed houses are being beselged by an army for catalogs. Already the windows of the corner grocery store have blossomed with the big feed boxes containing their thousands of packets. The lowly bean ifl next to the giant crimson tomato packet, and the gaudy grern lettuce seed flirts desperately with the radish. Your government aims to aidNyou in making a success of the backyards garden. It wants to help you now before you've turned a spade in the loam. If you care for information on gardening it ask you to write the 6ecretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C. o Porah may some day regret his opposition to big warships especially if he ever wants to make a junket to foreign parts.

Tin; T.xiurr ijill. , (Clilciiso Ially Xcws.) The senate yesterday passed the Fordney emergency tariff bill by a vote of 4 2 to 30. As it was, prior to Its passage, loaded down with amendments, it may be that Mr. Fordney will object to having the bill any longer called by hLs name. Rut that Is a detail, and it need not prove embarrassing. Twenty-four republicans and nine democrats voted for the mor .strcsity, and 2 6 democrats and four republicans against it. The favoring democrats were mostly those representing states with industries taken care of in the bill, including the senators from Louisiana who are democrats merely in name, while the four republicans who voted in the negative Colt, Edge, Keyes and Moses, representing Rhode Island New Jersey and New Hampshire could fee no merit In a measure that made no provision for manufacturers. Sen. Moses made a bitter attack on the bill, and nil that he said was tru The measure i., of course, "unscientific." from the Moses point of view that did not make abundant provision for the New England manufacturers. But it was doomed to be "lopsided" from the start, since the purpose was, not to grant general protection, but to relieve thf farmer, who was supposed to be in desperate straits. Nevertheless, Sen. Moses was right when he said that "the lepublican party can not po before the country v 1th such a measure," and he was again in accordance with the facts when he said: "It can. enly give to Pre't WiUon, who was so thoroughly repudiated in November, an opportunity to excoriate the republican party and. believe me, he will do It when this thing gets to him." Sen. Edge was more moderate, and also more convincing. While he thought that the senate wa "driving at hlph ppeed In the wrong direction'as it is. he. nevertheless, would have been willing to t-upport the bill as It came from the house. His objection was that the senate amendments had taken It out of the c!ass of emergency legislation, and he argued that It was now nothing less than an invitation to foreign nations to begin retaliation. And that, of course. Is true. This little experience is but a foretaste of what will happen when the work of general tariff revision is begun. There will be splits in both parties. Senators and representatives will vote somewhat ns they do on public building and river and harbor bills. Section will compete with section for favors, and out of the muss and muddle it will be believed by some men that a "scientific" tariff can be framed. The final result will be that all industries will h protected, and that will mean that none of them will be, tdr.ee, if the tariff is effective, all will pay more and all will get more. General and universil protection. If it were possible, as it is not. would be equivalent 10 depreciation of the currency. There are interesting times ahead of us. As for the present Mil, we do not mippose that any one expects It to become a law.

Ignorant Essays BY J. P. McEVOY

FOR RELEASE FEB. 22.- . GEOKGi: WASHINGTON. By J. I. McKVOY. The spirit of Washington. Father of his country, was taking a bird's eye view of the layout. Spying a number of excited groups gesticulating wildly, he asked. "Who are

they

'They are ten&ntsJ" he was

told, "protesting against profiteering landlords." "And who ia that person standing on a box haranguing all those people?" "He is a radical telling the people that this is a helova country and they are fools for staying in lt." "Why doesn't he leave if he doesn't like it?" He's too busy haranguing." "And who are all those men running around with stars and clubs?" "They are Internal Revenue Otficers enforcing prohibition." "What's that?" "We won't know until we've really tried it." "And what are all those little bugs . crawling around on tho streets?" "Those aren't bugs, those are flivvers." "And what's that little scouting party doing over there in the Tield ?" "That isn't a scouting party. That's the standing army sir.ee it's been reduced by the new congress." "And who are all those men running around with guns and lead

pipes?" "They are bandits. The,;r business is to rob banks, steal automobiles, loot houses, hold up pedestrians and shoot anybody they don't like. "Why don't the authorities stop them?" "They're too busy hunting for hootch." "What's hootch?" "Hootch is shell-shock in liquid form. "When applied internally it makes rabbits fight bull dogs, and in the language of the bard, makes a man see double and feel single. "Do people then in spite of prohibition still think of hootch?" "Constantly, George, constantly." "And what is that fellow over there crying about?" He is crying because he can't figure out any more ways to cheat the government out of income tax." "And what Is that other man weeping for?" "He is a politician, who weeps because he can't think of any more ways of raising new taxes or additional schemes for throwing away taxes already raised." The spirit of Georqe- Washington sighed. "To think" he said, "that I am the father of all this. It is too much, It is too much, indeed!" (Copyright. 1921.) LENT. What is Lent?

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

JUST FOLKS ! By EDGAR A. GUEST

G. W. When mothers came to Washington To show their prides and joys, He never said with nodding head, "What charming girls and boys!" He led the urchins to the door And hunded them their lids And loudly cried, "I cant abide Such ugly looking kids." But Washington was different. A fact we must admit. And you and I have got to lie To get away with it. When statesmen came to Washington, The.r wlng-ed words to read, He did not sich and say "My! My! That's very fine indeed!" His chin upon his massive breast. In deep ennui he sunk And said. "Dear sir., I'd much prefer That you would can that bunk!" But Washington was very great He talked right off the bat Too touch t'would be for you or me. To get away with that. When Washington went out to dine His knife and fork he'd ply. But never said. "What lovely bread," Or. "What delightful pie!" And when the hostess preescvl him To have, more soup or meat. He'd rudely say. "Take that away. It isn't fit to eat!" The General was wonderful A truth that all allow. However I will bet he'd lie If he were with us now! (Copyright, 1321.) Still Steady. Exceptions prove the rule. For example, wages are the first thing to go down, but not In the case of servant girls.

HOME Hl'XGEIt. I need the sight of a friendly spire To cure the longing that troul 1 -me. The old-familiar maple tree, The curling smoke of a cheerful tire, ' The little street of my heart's desire. There are merry eyes that I soon must see, I mun take the children ui'on my knee. For kisses can't come by the mail or wire, Oh, the wanderer sickens in time f smiles Of ii-.cn and women who come ur.d SO, And though he walk where rkh roses grow. His heart goes traveling back lh miles To thf little place where his lovci ones wait, And he yearns for the joys it hi.--humble gate. (Copyright, 1521.)
