It was entjlied “Clvic | Virtue.” When the swathing drapery [ tell from it New York's representa- | tives there assembled gasped in astonishment. They saw a writhing mess of marble that suggested the classic “laocoon” at Naples. The name of the sculptor was such as to make many of them wonder whether they were deficient in artistic appre- | clation. From such a source ought (0 come something remarkable, some. thing fine. But respectful as they were, they could not quite get | the iden. A controversy followed, sharp and protructed. “Civie Virtue” was de- tended and lsuded. It wus scorned | and derided. 1t was a masterpiece of modern art; it was a travesty and an abomination. It was a sublimated | expression of the higher, finer spir | of American citizenship; it was & groteague caricature of a ‘lsmmany ward heeler wearing less clothing than the law req But “Civi Virtue having _been formally accepted, unveiled and dedi- cated, remsined in New York's front verd and is there toduv.

Most persons do not like parsnips, anyway. Good intentions and. kind words werve their purpose 4n this world, where most of us are by no meana models, either of conduct, deportment or any other matter. Good intentions, in particular, de- serve a far higher rating, it seema to than they generally receive. The on for this must be sought in the great clutter of “‘bunk” with which humanity hes delighted to surround itself ever since it realized that it was humanity. Hell, they tell good intention: Well, Heaven, built up of them' In the grest human reservolr of “bunk,” which may be defined an faulty mass thinking, a favorite one is this concerning the paving ma terials of the so-called “hot place.

COLLINS, Great Britain remits today $6 000 in payment of interest and jnstall- ment of principal on her debt to the United States. Her total payments this year will exceed $200,000,000, and since the funding of the debt in 1922 she has actually paid us in excess of a billion dollars. In apite of the terma of the refundment. providing certain privilegen of postponement of puy- ments, she has met every ubligation without ssking grace. Kngland has never faced grealer fuancial diggculties thun her industrial situation has brought within the last two or three years.
