Politically, what is .it? Why, the democratic theory is that the average citizen, keeping his eyes open and his mind reason- ably informed concerning public affairs, is able to arrive at, a pretty accurate conclusion as to their trend: The collective opinion is revealed by the bal- lot box. That's public opinion, Wail, there is no such thing, according to Walter Lippman of the “American academy of political and sociaf science, author of a new book on “The Phan- - tom Public,” in which he explains why not. Our government is so complicated and: technical today that an intelligent individual, working eight hours a day six days a week, he says, can’t keep up with what’s going on, locally and nationally. Unin- formed, he can’t have an opinion—only prejudices. With no individual opinion, public opinion is impos- sible. So what's the use in get-out-the-vote campaigns? Is an ignorant vote of forty millions any better than an ignorant vote of twenty? Lippman thinks it is. “To support the Ins,” he says, “when thirigs are going well and to support the Outs when the Ins seem to be doing badly—this is the essence of popu- lar govertiment.” Publie opinion may know very little about details, but it knows, in a general way, what times are like. It dogsn’t reason, but it comprehends conditions. If it doesn’t like them, it can exchange the Ins for the Outs. As a campaign orator, Lippman never would do, but it’s n new line of argument at that. i Tramp, Tramp, Tramp During a time when many colleges and universi- ties are trying to cast out military training, it is gratifying to know that there are 40,000 young men who ure willing to spend half their summer, without pay, in acquiring the rudiments of soldiering. Neither is that the only gratifying thing about the citizens’ military training camps this summer; An- other is the degree of physical fitness which youth seems to be maintaining. A very small per cent of all applicants was turned down by the army doctors. Yet this is an age when everyone is supposed to be devoting his time to the ruination of his health. It seems that the nation still is filled with fit-to- fight manhood and, perhaps better still, with man, hood’ that is willing to fight. These’ simmer camps are proving grounds for ,testing our military strength, potential and real. With our tegular army organizations skeletonized, and some existing only on paper, the bulk of power in an emergency would ith the national guard and the organized re- serve. “g There were thousands of men who wanted to go to summer camps this year and were cheated by an insufficient appropriation. The nation was cheated, too, for there is no other single influence which so effectively gives an appreciation of the highest obli- gations of citizenship, 5 Lenglen Turns “Pro” The world of tennig wag genuinely startled to hear that, Suzanne Lenglen, the greatest woman tennis playér in the world, had become a professional ing pp her amateur status in order to take advan- tage’ of contracts for exhibition playing that will earn, her a real fortune. Loudly the amateurs groan and mourn the passing of “real sportsmanship.” Byt is that fair? Mme. Lenglen is not a well-to- do woman. She has played many years as, an ama- Seurl at last riging to ‘thé very pinnacle of tennis achiévement. 4s the greatest tennis player. Supyose she continued as an amateur and lost this » eminence in the next two or three years, as is en- tirely possible? Then what would she have? A very, pleasant memory of many victories—but very littlé money. Now, at the height of her fame, when her name | will bring thousands to see her play, no matter where she goes, she is offered a chance to make her fortune through the thing that she does best in all the world—play tennis. Can she be blamed for tak- ing advantage of such an opportunity? e. Lenglen cannot always ‘play tennis as she| now. Some day shewould find that she was wished and when that day came spe would be left ‘with but the husk of former triumphs. This ‘way; she will. retire afterp year or two with enough : of this work? goods to travel and to live the bal : of her life in more than normal comfort.

Although the fireman’s duty is the more spectacular he really does. not, in the long run, take the chances that @ policeman does. The fireman has only to fear thejftames and an accident, while the policeman has to fear every murderous criminal outside of prison walls. In a sense, of course, both jobs are lazy. The| policeman saunters around his beat and the fireman lounges in the firehouse—until trouble starts. Then { { is a limit to all things. Music Pupils Excel | in their school work than children who have never tive analysis of school grades of Springfield, Mo., {high school pupils made by the Conn Music Center jat Elkhart, Ind. Music study was found not only to improve the grades, but also to rank high as a {mental stimulant in other ways. More than 20 per cent of the 3,478 students in the |high and junior high schools of Springfield have was found to be 82 per cent, while the average for those Hoge id music was three points higher. Since 70 is the minimum grade and 82 the general aver- age, there is a differential of only 12 points, and the actual superiority of the three poifts on the part of the music students in their general school work indi- cates an approximate increase in efficiency of 25 per cent. Of the pupils studying music, by far the largest number take piano. net, clarinet, saxophone and trombone follow in the order named. The relation of wealth to music was brought, out as an interesting sidelight of the analysis. The Reed junigr high school, located in the Poorer sec- tion of Springfield, had three per cent more pupils taking music than the Jarrett junior high school, which {s located in the more wealthy section of the city.

The wish was. nto doubt father to the thought in Spreading these rumors. At any rate, The Herald’s correspondent in Moscow says that there is nothing in them, and that even the party fight that brok out last month has ‘come to little. * 4 The breakdown of the Communist regime hasn't happened yet, clearly, but if it does not come now it will come later—unless, indeed, communism man- ages to make the majority of the Russian people comfortable. If it can do that, the breakdown may never come, But that is not likely. Bolshevism holds on now largely because its comparatively few followers are well organized while the great mass of the people are not only not organized but are cowed by the forcefulness of the tyranny at the top, and because the peasants, who have been given the land they coveted, fear they might lose it if reaction set in. History isn’t all made yet, in Russia or.elsewhere. Nobody need worry about that. And there is plenty of it yet to be made in Russia. . Tyranny does not last, whether it is the tyranny of a royal and aristocratic class as under the czars, | of or the tyranny of a proletariat class as under com- munism, Whether it is tomorrow, or next year, or next century, though it is not likely to be that long, tyranny will destroy itself in Russia as it always has elsewhere, and something new will follow. The Philippine Survey The survey of the Philippines being carried on by Carmi A. Thompson, President Céolidge’s represen- tative, is beginning to bear fruit in an impartial re- Port on just what the conditions are in the Philip- pines and just how much sentiment there is there for complete independence of the islands. Heretofore every report on the islands was biased, either in favor of one side or the other. Mr. Thompson’s re- Port, however, is impartial, and it indicates what is undoubtedly the true status of Philippine politics. His conclusion so far is that the islands them- selves do not want and are not ready for complete independence and that the only real sentiment for independence can be found in Manila, where the movement is well organized. In other words there is a small group of men in Manila who would try to wrest the islands from American domination so as to exploit them for their own gain. Mr. Thompson’s report does not say just that, but of the islanders do not want independence, that is one thing; if they do, that is another. Of course there is another angle to consider, that is that the islanders are comparatively cated. This would permit more and unedu- Hons of those islanders’ who are well edu-| e's however, was undertaken with facta So’ At least, that is what he told an assist- | says Director Barry, “gets too much time off as it) But the public loves a fireman because about | There is much sense in Director Barry's attitude | they are both active and efficient in their perform- | | ance of their public duty.
