Governor Richardson, of California, de- clines to pardon Charlotte Anita Whitney, who was sentenced to jail because of her political belief, and says: “W hile I had no part in the pa re of still I have taken an oath to sup port the Constitution and the laws of the state. The law penalizing criminal syndi- calism is just as solemn and binding. as are laws against murder, robbery, arson and other crims.” Governor Smith, of New doned Jim Larkin, convicted of a similar offense, and doing so, said: “Political progress results from the clash of conflicting opinions. The public assertion of an erroneous doctrine is per- haps the surest way to disclose the error and make it evident to the electorate. And it is a distinct disservice to the state to impose, for the utterance of a mis- guided opinion, such extreme punish- ment as may tend to deter, in proper cases, that full and free discussion of political issues which is a fundamental of democracy.” The first governor talks of the Consti- tution. The second understands its spirit and obeys. SOME REVOLUTION I this age of revolutions, that of Per- sia is, perhaps, the most remarkable. It is as if a worm had carried off an eagle. The realm of Darius and Xerxes, in- carnation of the divine right of rulers, capital of Oriental splendor, for 30 cen- turies ruled by hereditary privilege, and now ruled by an ex-private soldier, who was born in a farmer’s mud hut and can barely write his own name. A shah of shahs, king of kings and sun of suns is showing Paris the real thing in Oriental luxury, and a doughboy dictator scraps royalty and turns Persia the other side up. Giiman, Rothman, LOST ARTISTRY N the walls of the monastery of San Francisco, at Lima, Peru, is the most perfect éxample of porcelain work in the Americas and equalled in beauty and design in only a few buildings in Eu- rope and China. It is a porcelain garden with the blues of the delphinium and the yellows, the mauve, the reds and creamy whites of the summer border in the most perfect harmony, blending not only with each other, but with the green foliage of tree and vine hanging over the walls, and with the azure of the Peruvian skies above. This wonderful work was done three centuries ago by the hands of one man alone, a common potter who had learned his trade in Spain.

PAINE =, ye CLEVELAND judge is receiving much commendation for sending to the workhouse a quartet of children who, in comfortable circumstances them- selves, permitted their aged mother to be taken to the poor-house. Maybe there are other aspects of this case besides the unquéstionable brutality of the children, Maybe that mother her- self was largely to blame. More than one parent is threatened with gross neglect when old age arrives. Much depends upon the yiew of par- ental duty. There are parents who hold that they perform their duty in full in giving their children all opportunity for an education and a good home, and who make provision for their own old age. Stich do not become the victims of in- gratitude, sorry burdens in the homes of others, or in the poor-house, Other par- ents consider it duty to “give the children everything” and habitually carry it to such extremes that the children come to consider “everything” as their right, and such sentiments as gratitude and obliga- tion sicken and die a natural death. There are statistics to the effect that a very large percentage of people aged 65 years or more are indigent. It would be mighty interesting to know how many of them started in good home environment, with all the opportunities for an educa- tion but with the policy of giving their children everything else which self- denial could scrape ‘together. The writer once heard the rich old father of four children declare himself thus: “Mother and I have given the children a good home and every chance for an education and to qualify themselves for making their own way in life. We have provided against their being in want of the ordinary necessities and comtorts. If they crave the luxuries, they may have to go out and dig for them, as we did. Moth- er and I will enjoy the rest of our for- tune. At that, confound it! we may finally leave enough to start a family fight! Certainly that Cleveland quartet of children is rightfully in the workhouse. But, perhaps, their mother is rightfully in the poor-house. How did she raise her children, that all of them are now un- grateful, disrespectful, brutal toward her The twig and the tree incline as the wind habitually blows. Perhaps, it takes one as well along in years as the writer to observe that, in this Cleveland case, the brutality lies not so much in the mere fact of mother’s go- ing to the poor-house as in the fact that none of her children’s families would har- bor her. Time was, not so very long ago, when going to the poor-house was the last the people was an artist. And so were our fathers and grandfathers of the later 19th century who learned their trades to the last word, even*to the last precise and delicate twist of the wrist and fin- gers. Fathers, and grandfathers and great-grandfathers who took a pride in the labor of their hands, a pride in know- ing that the thing they fashioned in wood, or stone, or iron, or clay was good to look at when they finished it. Mass production and the machine of the past few decades have taken the heart out of the artist workman, destroy- institution. sible, word of disgrace and, often, last limit of physical existence. one ages the number of one’s mater cravings decreases and the modern poor- house is a well-regulated and comfortable And why should pride shrie® upon one’s entering an institution for the support of which one thruout a long life? view the poor-house as an earned and honorable refuge, if one has been taxed for it long enough and is aged enough to acclaim, with that aged wise one of the “All is vanity!” about the But, as taxes may has paid Surely, one eens eee ee a 2? ?
