THRONES AND CHICKENS
The pretender to the throne of Portugal is a country
gentleman, living on an estate in Austria, and devoting him
self to the task of raising chickens. The other day, when
he was informed that ex-king Manuel II had died, and that
Tie Jiimself wan therefore in line for the throne, he indicated
$he the chicken-raising business seemed to him better than
a kingship.
' 'Very likely this attitude was due in part to the fact that
T'ortugal Is a republic at present, and being in line for the
throne is an empty honor. Hut probably the larger portion
of his indifference is because being a king is a very poor line
'of work to be1 following in these days, and a throne can hardly
. compare with a flourishing chicken ranch when one considers
'such factors as security, peace of mind, and genuine con
tentment." '
SUch has not always been the case. In the olden days the
-world wa made for kings, and a throne was really worth
having. ' The king and his nobles were "it", and the rest of
the people did not matter. It was a a mmonly accepted
principle that kings were divinely appointed tp their thrones,
and to rebel was not only treasonous but sacrilegious. ','
' But Unlay things are different. Where kings yet survive
they are figureheads and nothing more. To be sure, things
are made very pleasant for a few of them, and they are flat
tered by great deal of attention ; but the honor ia an empty
tide: 'And they are living in constant fear that some ultra
radical party may get control of the government and throw
Jhem out entirely,
- This sad change in the affaire of royalty was brought
about by the development of the idea of democracy. The
great American and French revolutions made every throne
on earth insecure, and since that time, one by one, proud
Tnonarchs have leen forced to yield to the will of peoples
;Vho believe they ought to have something to say alxiut how
they are governed. '
Right now, perhaps, democracy has fallen into a little
slump.' Dictatorships are popular in Europe, and there is
not a great deal of difference letween the rule of a divinely
appointed monarch and that of a self-appointed dictator.
But the leaven of democracy is still working, and will
'aHays continue to do so. Once an idea is born into the
world, it cannot be stamped out. Sooner or later, dictalor
qhip8 "will stand where monarchies ritand Aoday. Those
who have that hankering to rule without the consent of tli'e
governed had lietter be looking around for good chicken
ranches. Sooner or later they will need them. f
YViSB rOI.ICKMEN
While politics, industry and international affairs hold their
place on the front page a lot of interesting and important
news tends to be overlooked. There is, for instance, the way
in which the New York police force has organized a baseball
league among some .0000 youthful Manhattan East Sidcrs.'-
This affair, 'perhaps, can't compare1 in importance with
such things as political conventions and reparations confer
ences. But it is, nevertheless, one of the most significant
experiments any police department Jn the country has ever
attempted. . j
The New York cops have helped these boys organize ill
baseball league, providing the umpires for the games, arrang
ing schedules, keeping truck of batting, fielding and pitching
averages, finding fields for the players and seeing to it thirl
everything runs smoothly. And they have not only enlisted
B000 boys, between the ages of 10 and )8, in their athletic
clubs; the games played have drawn around 250,000 cus
Umiers so far this year. '
This program was announced by Police Commissioner Mul
rooney us part of a crime-prevention campaign. It is about
as wise a thing as any police department could hope to do.
In' the first place, it gives young city lads something to
do with their spare lime. Youngster who are playing base
ball steadily dont have a great deal of time for comer pool
room or speakeasy loafing, furthermore, such things don't
)ook so attractive to them. Nor ix a lad to whom athletic
greatness is something to be mightily desired quite as ready
to inako a hero out of a gangland big shot.
But there is another angle to it which is equally important.
The xy in this New York baseball league is discovering that
the cop is his friend, instead of growing up with the notion
Jhat the cop is an enemy to be outwitted. Anyone who has
studied the growth of metropolitan gangs can tell you how
helpful the growth of such an attitude could le.
These New York policemen have hit upon an extremely
fine idea. The police of other cities could copy it to great
advantage.

answer Barkley'a letter, giving a copy

I Seven persons were reported saved
t by rescuers who Immediately put out !
j in other boats as the cries of crowds i
ton the shore gave warning of the:
: tragedy. The boat, 26-foot speed
J craft, recently purchased by Henry
; Calanchini. was the center of attrac
itlon for the picnic party as It put
! out to sea with Its guest passengers.
Witnesses said the boa fa engine ap-
parently died just after it bad passed
the bar at the mouth of the river,
and it was tossed helplessly about
by the breakers.
As it capsized, figures of the pas
sengers could be seen struggling In
the water. One or two managed to
swim to shore. Others were pulled
aboard rescue boats.
Louis La Tour, one of the sur
vivors, . characterized the accident as
"a horrible nightmare." Describing
the scene he said:
"All of a sudden the motor sput
tered, coughed a little, and died. We
tossed there, helpless for the space of
a minute. Then a wave struck us.
The" boat" toppled." T 'leaped."""""'
"All about me, men and women
were struggling In the water. There
was some screaming. I looked about
and saw little Jlmmie (James Becker,
6) beating about in the water. I
reached out and took hold of him.
"Then I saw that the boat had
righted, and I hauled him into it.
Another breaker struck, and the UtUe
craft began to go over. I had a flash
of three terrified faces In the cabin,
three figures making for the narrow
door In one rush. Then X jumped, and
the boat went over.
"What happened to those three
persons I don't know. I couldn't
even know who they were. But I
have little doubt they are dead.
"I looked around for the boy, hut
couldn't sec him. It seemed like
hours that I swam about the over
turned boat, while It tossed about
like a waterlogged cracker box. I
began to grow weak. Finally when
no help came. struck out for shore.
I swam until it seemed my arms
would drop off. Half a mile I It
seemed ten miles. I crawled up on
the beach exhausted. That's all I
remember." 1 -
Judge's Decision
On Birth Control
Causes Comment
CHICAGO. July 25 A storm
of contradictory comment haa follow
ed a decision by Circuit Judge Dan
iel p. Trude In which he gave the
first Judicial approval of birth con
trol ever expressed In Chicago.
The decision was given In the case
of Mrs -tcrtrude Bcml- who' was
granted separate maintenance from
her husband, Walter J. Bemls, a eon
suiting engineer.
'It la evident to me." tho court
said, "that too many children 'have
been bora to this couple. The mother
rebelled at motherhood, tho Job was
too much for her."
In granting the separate mainten
ance Judge Trude specifically cited
the couple's five children as tho rea
son for' their marital discord, and
Ignored ' Mrs. Bemls' charge that her
husband contercd his attentions on
another woman.
Commenting on the court's action.
Dr. Rachello Y ottos, a woman medical
specialist, said "a woman ought to
have the right to decide how many
children she can care for without In
Jury to her health." ,.
Judge Joseph A. Oraber of the
court of domestic relations, on the
other hand, took an opposing view.
'I have found that children do
more to patch up broken homes than
any otlirr single factor," he said.
Judge Trude told Mrs. Bemls to go
to California on a vacation, away from
her five children.
