ABOUT RIOTING PRIDE AND MARSHALL'S JITNEY CIGAR Can It Be That, to Be Truly Progres sive. We Shall Have to Turn And Go Backward? Ql'ITl serenely, not long ago, Vice Tresi dint M irsliall emerged from the deeps of Ins cilstnmarv oblivion nnd made himself heard even -tl v the uproar nf fulling thrones and 1 in'i-ig id n li -t with an observa tion tlmt lias in-t bet 11 repeated before the wajs and minus voninnttee of the House He rose to say that what the country roily needed was n good five -cent cigar. A momentary stillness then fell upon this land There was nn interval of startled quiet like that which comes suddenly in a play or in the car of a balloon wlnu the passengers muster courage for 11 first look 11 vi r the side The country realised almovt for the 1rt linn ilia! It had :i Vice Presi dent and that In- -as a man of acumen al most profound. 1'or it whs clear that Mr Marshall was not thinking only nf 11 good five ci nt cijar. lie was thinking of the state of mind that nccompunied it. That is what hu wanted to return to. In n good mauy minds there rose sud denly the feeling that the Vice President should have been nt Parts. His suggestion, coming ns it did like a contradictory and revealing line In a Mazing drama, was in its way as revolutionary us anj thing suggested in the covenant ot the League of Nation. He might haie told the people of Uurope that they need fewer two-dollar kings, fewer thlrtv-cetit statesmen fewer billionaire, ami more fond for the multitudes, less militarism and more work, a larger number of leaders content to mind their own business and In let other people follow the same ulmost for gotten rule. "All." said the A ice President in effect, "is vanity and vexation of spirit'" And to it reaKv is tlie world over. Millionaues ued to he content w ith twenty -live-cent ilgars. Now thev fee that thev must perish miserably without cigars that cost 11 dollar 1 neh Men who onee were delighted to drive dependable flivvers progress 111 evitablj through the various stages of the modern mania of aciuisitiveness until, by fair means or foul, tin v can get possession of rolling cathedrals with rubber tires and a motivating ingin" 'Ihe .oatc used to be content to be Lhe Senate. Now it v earns to be the giivernnn lit of the I mled S'atis. Polituians used to be liuide happv bv a live, minute inteiview with tln President. Now these same men nte consumed with race if they uren't permitted to is-ue orders to tlie chief executive In the period to which Mr. Marshall turned a jearnirs gtze virtus was supposed to ho its iwn icward and good pe.,pln were content to hi good Morn recently tlmy have i-ome to insist upon their right to n en ate bv violence if necrssrirv --nil other people in (heir own likene-'.

The accidents of large population, of snows nnd winds and civilized deslro make ordered effort necessary everywhere. The odd thing to think about is n world so fallen that such obvious truths hnve to bo restated. In the days of which Mr. Marshall thought, and to which men so practical -minded ns cigar manufacturers want to grope back, evervbody knew- nil this without being told, and lived according to bis knowledge. Is democrncy'eonfused nnd hindered In Its; movement forward becnitso nn Increasing number of people have lost the capacity for real nnd actual happiness nnd tend to seek a substitute in excitement? Certainly the life of today seems often like 11 foolish and brutal competition of vanities in which gov ernments, groups nnd Individuals are nlike shamelcssl) Involved. When on remember that the live-cent cigar of the Vice Presi dent's dreams I almost as far off and tiu uttainable a a workable League of Nations, you will begin to understand bow far wo have departed in a few ears from the habits of thought that did most to give this country its strength nnd its place In the modern world. Millionaires want billions. Labor wnnts capital, 'llie Japanese want China. Lenlne wauts the earth nnd nil the money and prop ertv in It And there Is hardl.v a girl alive in tho I nited States who doesn't want and hope to hnve a live-lniudred-dollnr fur coat.

Tlie onl difference b, wicn him and a good mnn.v foreign goveruuu nts is tlmt tlie governments nlreudv hive their fast ma chines. They are goim: too fast to sec more than u road that they have never Ixcu over before of the life on tlie ground they knuw and see hardly nn thing. And where they are going they do not know. Only those who. in their everyday affairs, do not follow this appalling example can afford to com plain of the ways in which tho political sys tems of the world arc being handled. THE TEST OF BRIAND IT IS one of the virtues of a ministerial form of government that questions which are pot handled to the public's satisfaction bv one cabinet are promptly turned over to its successor. It is impossible, therefore, for M I'riand to dodge the issues which proved too much for M I.evgues and his colleague.

Eliminate the trite rose nnd Its thorn tnd take, instead a shade tree on 11 well-kept lawn and the shrubbery that banks n garden plot or clusters around a rural home. ' They are attractive for a while, but with the advent of fall they become a nuisance. Their lenves tiro scattered broadcast or they drift and pack, and time nnd money arc required to malntnin their vicinity in order nnd cleanliness. Which leads" up to the fact that the pigeons of (.'it j Hall and the squirrels on Capitol Hill, Harrlshurg, arc getting to be nuisances. IT MAY, of course, be to some an attrac tive picture to see on the broad pavement at the noithcast corner of the public build ings pigeons swarming around and over an amiable old party in billycock hat and frock coat training them to eat bread crumbs off his shoulder.

TIIFJ other day half a dozen husky bipeds ot the genus homo were distributed around Capitol Park just east of the museum build in" each with a Konp-box trap in his hands, legs braced and e.ves fixed on certain frisking squirrels in their viclnitv.

"We're getting rid of some of 'em. Thin lot wo are catching today arc to be shipped to Alabama. We ve already sent consign ments to other states. "The squirrels are getting too numerous.
