Shall the man from Michigan who dollared his way into the United States senate back out or be kicked out? It’s a tough problem for Newberry, but not for those who don’t believe in Newberryism. It must be plain to Newberry that there is only one way he can go, AND THAT IS OUT. His own state has backed up the Michi- gan jury that convicted him, and the Michigan judge who sentenced him. Being saved from that conviction and sentence, and being seated by a partisan majority of the senate itself, didn’t save Newberry from the wrath of the republicans of Michigan. They have repudiated Newberryism by defeating Senator Townsend, and by electing as senator * » democrat who announces that he will get busy and ‘ave the Newberry case reopened in the senate. So far as Newberry himself is concerned the public ‘ill care little whether he resigns or waits for the big kick. For the public good, however, it would be better for Newberry to stick and let the drama go to its climax. | By sticking as long as he has stuck he has kept New- 4 toward getting rid of a group of senators who put their a ©. K. on Newberryism in order to gain control of the ¥ organization of the senate. If he sticks to the finish, he will serve a useful public purpose in keeping the sen- ate on record afresh as to Newberryism in the light of its overwhelming repudiation by republican voters them- Selves at the late election.

Allen’s Mistaken Course Many people who look upon the Ku Klux Klan as a and many more who regard it as a ridiculous and iferous nuisance wil! still look upon the course taken Gov. Allen, of Kansas, in seeking to put it and keep M4 out of his state as still more dangerous than the klan : He is trying to do it by injunction. Now if the acts of _ the Ku Klux Kian are offenses against the laws of Kan- they can be punished by ordinary criminal proceedings. they are new things which the legislature has not pro- against, there will be other legislatures which are _ free to enact laws describing these offenses and providing _ for their punishment. This is the orderly, democratic and American way of doing the thing. If the criminal laws do not provide for such crimes or ir punishment, then there are no such crimes. the courts of Kansas now make orders that such shall not be done, they are acting as the government state, and not as its courts. They make rules it certain acts, and make crimes of acts which, in the eyes of the law, are legal. They, and not the legis- lature, begin to enact the criminal law of the state. They legally innocent acts into offenses punishable by fine imprisonment, not after conviction by a jury, but by the judges themselves. policies are revolutionary.

The Poetry of Childhood Hilda Conkling, now aged 11, has just published her second volume of poems, “Shoes of the Wind.” Hilda is fortunate in having a mother who neither extravagantly praises her work, nor yet discounts it. When Hilda, at the age of 4, began to “talk” her little poems, Mrs. Conkling, who is assistant professor of "ng- lish at Smith college, scribbled them down. Most grown-ups like Hilda’s poems, because they re- mind them of their own childhood. For instance, she says of fairies: “There is ho fairy can hide from me; I keep on dreaming till I find them; There you are, Primrose! I see you, Black Wing “Shady Bronn” is the name of her imaginary “little farm.” She is going to have a horse called “Barberry,” She speaks of “cow-slips wading in water up to their little green knees.” “Joy,” she determines, “lives be- hind people’s eyes.” She speculates about the “full- grown feeling,” and she has a “rainy-blue tea cup,” which she likes very much. The pansy has a “thinking face.” The rooster has a comb “gay as a parade.” Leave it to the child-mind to coin phrases—beautiful, imaginative, spontaneous. A child loved by the writer looks out the window and says, “Oh, ho, this is a shiny daz.” She calls the two black ponies “Big Wee,’ and She loves to eat “greenie-balls,” which “Little Wee.” : grown-folks call peas. She says that her 6-month-old FP baby brother has “half a birthday.” Any of us can have delightful glimpses into the child imagination, if we are sympathetic and alert for the poetry of childhood.
