THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

“The Cloudiness, the Incompetence, the Ineptitude of the Human Mind” By PRESIDENT ADA LOUISE COMSTOCK, in New York Herald. THE last decade has given the Western World, I suppose, an almost paralyzing revelation of certain of its own weaknesses. To the idea that the human heart was wicked it was not so unaccustomed; perhaps one of its major fallacies was the cool assumption of such a state. The most striking revelation has been less moral than intellectual—the revelation of the cloudiness, the incompetence, the ineptitude of the human mind. The actual fact of illiteracy here and in other countries, the sensational disclosures of mental tests have been only minor details in the general exhibition of the incapacity of masses of people to think at all even« in the defense of their property and lives. Nor among those fitted by training and experience to be leaders has the exhibition of human capacity been much more gratifying. Failure to reach any agreement, to get beyond the consideration of the welfare of a particular group, to surmount native or acquired prejudice, to unite in a constructive program has been the common phenomenon. It lias sometimes seemed as if truth in such essential matters as economic and social questions and relations among countries either did not exist or could not be so conveyed to masses of people as to be accepted. More than one writer of importance has seen democracy and civilization hanging in the balance. One point of agreement there seems to be —that education, more widely dissed, more effective is the only trustworthy means of relief. In that faith we of America have been bred. We see it now worldwide in scope and among ourselves revived and quickened. For the demand that is made is not so much for special knowledges, fpr preparation for skilled workers in any profession or calling as it is wisdom—for men and women who have the capacity, the training and the will to think. It is such men and women whom the college of liberal arts aims to develop. Is the Short Story to Be Standardized or Is It to Be a Work of Art? By EDWARD O’BRIEN, in Boston Transcript. I would give a great deal for a more relaxed humanism. lam tired of our sense of strain, and, I doubt its value. It seems to me to be chiefly machinery for machinery’s sake, a card catalog of the human mind after the mental vultures have picked it. Why can we not cultivate the loafabilities-a bit more, to use Jay Gould’s excellent phrase, and stop striking noble The American short-story writer is so selfconscious about structure, and so stiff in his mental attitude toward his gospel, that his reaJrr can seldom relax. The writers drug us; the others tire us. Meanwhile, I dare say, Chekhov and Maupassant are selling shoestrings on Broadway. If the short story is to be standardized, I suggest that New York business men might well erect an assembling plant upon University Heights, or any suitable location which they may choose, and offer prizes ' for the inventor of the cheapest and most durable model. If cheapness is what is most desired, let us put a greater premium upon it If durability is merely a matter of structure, let us offer a great reward to our short-story engineers. Once the model is whittled into shape, endless reproduction without toil will then ensue. But if fhe&hort story is to be a work'of art, we shall proceed in a very different .nxhnner. \ Conditions Under Which Calves Are Being Shipped to American Tables —■. . By DR. W. A. STILLMAN, President American Humana Ass’n. One of the most important reforms in stock transportation, which | should receive prompt and effective attention, is the regulation by law of ! the railroad transportation of young calves. We believe that calves should j not be shipped Until they have been weaned. It is idle to contend that there is any practical method by which unweaned calves can be fed on the . journey. These baby calves simply starve to death if carried long distances. They make poisonous food and are fit only for fertilizer. In some states an attempt to solve this abuse is made by requiring I that calves shall be shipped with their mothers. The result has been that poor, old, bologna cows, not in milk, are sent with the calves, with disastrous results for the babies. Sometimes these calves are shipped from - northern sections in open-slatted cars, in cold weather, without food or protection. They have been known to freeze to death, supplementing the I large mortality which results from lack of food. Frequently they have been kept without food for a long time at the shipping point until a car- | load has beep secured. These are the conditions under which calves are being shipped which supply veal for American tables. It is small wonder that the evils result-. ing from these conditions are very serious and cause much human sickness. The only possible practical solution of the bob veal problem is to t absolutely restrain the shipment of calves until they have been weaned and i learn to feed themselves. Any other course results iq inexcusable cruelty, j To ship the unweaned animals means starvation for the baby calves and i human poisoning from ptomaine. If people must eat beef babies, at least it should be required that conditiorfs are sanitary. Theater Should Be Required to Measure Up to This Minimum Standard By DEETS PICKETT, Methodist Episcopal Board. * Objectionable passages in plays that I have denounced have been deleted. It is better to let the producers clean up, if they will. However. merely temporary changes in dialogue and costuming should not allav indignation unless action can be taken under present laws which will deter theatrical producers in the future. New York city should have a license system under which permits to j operate theaters would be revocable for due and proved cause. It should ? be remembered that New York has the duty, responsibility and privilege - of acting for the entire country in this matter. The New York theater is the American theater. It would be absurd to expect the theater to conform to the standards : which the Methodist church erects for its own communicants. There are standards of common decency, however, which are common to all ? Americans, Christian, Catholic, Jew and unbeliever. The theater should ; be required to measure up to this minimum standard. The vast majority of stage people are self-respecting and cleanminded. They want decent acenes, especially the women of the stage, who should at this time in their own interest demand a thorough housecleaning. « Bev. W. B. Wedderspoon, Chicago M. R Pastor.—lt was Bob Ingersoll who said, “Look at the solemn-faced ministers. Hear them —they are still hooting the same old hoot” And I’ll repeat that is what we are doing and proud to do. Hoot the same old hoot It is a wonderful old hoot May it never grow faint Why shouldn’t we stick to the old, the established, the tested, the tried? Why at thia hour when we are ao richly dowered by the past and all that it has given to us, should we flout it in the pursuit of modernities as yet unproven ?

Her mother, wishing to teach Ker the lesson of self-sacrifice, said: “Very well, dear; if you would like to go without sugar for a week I’ll give you the money instead, and then you will have some.” The little one considered solemnly for a moment and then said: “Must it be sugar, mamma?" “Why, no, darling, not necessarily. What would you like to do without?” “Soqp, mamma," was Elsie’s answer. —Bostoh Transcript. Wasting Money.
