Mark 0: it. '. Music of Morons Jazz always impresses us as about as musical as radio static. Though w,t at all classical in our tastes, we feel a lure in the lilt of old ballads, a charm in the tuneful melodies of light operas and the appeal of the symphonies of grand opera, but jazz jars us all the way through, makes us want to fight or run away from the racket. When the intellectual uplifters began putting out propa ganda assuring the world that jazz was a great advance over previous forms of music and destined to be the music of the future, we felt as if we were'lhe moss-backs of music, for we were old-fashioned enough to prefer "Schubert's Sere nade" to "Red Hot Mamma," "Boheminn Girl" to "Sweet Paddy," an Ethelbert Nevin to a Richard Berlin, and the magic of a Straus waltz to a "hot-dog" syncopation. . We feel better about it now, after reading a comprehen nive treatise on modern music by Daniel Gregory Mason, a foremost musical critic, who speaks with voice of authority in an article in the April American Mercury. The popular ity of jazz, he assures us, and we are quite willing to be lieve, is due to the childish and savage stage of taste of our primitive musical public. lie declares: Jars U tho 'Joggeril of music.

Jazz is nn Insufferably merhanlcnl tvc-beat time with whnek on the bis drum for every di.wn teat. It fa it blank fealurchssneb, its unrelieved tepliiily, that ore so r ltilcs. Like nil primitive form of art, it U so poverty-stricken in interest for the mind (whatever lis luxury of appeal to the senses through mere iiijihh of nuiKO or through odd effects of muled trumpets, KqilcnkinK clarinets or flatulent trombones) tint It kllLt ltj victim by sheer boredom. The Parents Share A correspondent in another column while agreeing in the main with Capital Journal expressions regarding farcial school systems, wants "an open season upon editors the year round, shooting .them as fast as they give utterance to the fool sentiment that parents have gladly relinquished their responsibilities and are complacently watching their children being ruined by the present vicious system." Yet this parent, confessing his own inability to cope with the present system, "resigns" his children to their fate, though not gladly, thereby confirming our assertion that the parents are at least partly to blame for conditions exist ing. This is another case where the children boss the parents, who helplessly and pathetically protesting, accept Hie bossing without applying old fashioned correctives of previous generations. Criticism of schools is not confined however to editors and narents. but is rampant even among educators. Dean Andrew F. West of the Graduate School of Princeton Uni versity in the Princeton Alumni Weekly says: to 1890 the ITnlted Stntes spent $140,000,000 on education, public and private. In l!ll!0 it spent one thousand millions. The times have chantred' but discount all you like for the reduced value of the dollar ilnee' the war and you will find that we spent four limes lis much as tvo did thi.tr years previously, and Iho country lias not Rrown four twites In population nnd tho education la not four-fold better. "What is needed today," continues Dean West, is Sim plicity." But with a return to the simplicity of the three It's of the "Mid-Victorian" epoch, what would become of the vast armv of educational experts, who have foisted frills foibles and fads upon the taxpayer and the helpless children in their competitive absorption and waste of school money? The school machine could not have gotten where it is to day, without the active aid and assistance of the parents and while a few of the latter may feebly protest the reaction, the bulk arc only too glad to pass-up their parental responsibility, HORIZONTAL 1.

I thought yoy were in the south of Krnnire." I could not stay away from you, my darling," ho answered "I could not stay away any longer. I t-ave not had a happy hour since I wrote you that letter. Surely you understood. You know my heart was still with you, but I waa In honor bound to marry poor Ger aldine." Tea, Rob dear, I knew It all the time at lea.it J knew tt when I was not o heart broken th-it I could not think straight. Sit down bes'.de me here and tell me all about it. I have wanted to hoar it all from your own Hps, lover mine Rob, she was a lovelier glr! than I, my heart kept saying I was sure that in the end you would love her; no one could help loving her." A peculiar look came into Rob ert McLean's face. He seemed to bo seeing something beyond the girl that was clasped In his arms. Do you know what Jerry did for me, Lille? She came back from Httrnlty Itself so that I and mine niipht have all that she still had to give. f - 'Yes, Rob, I -know, I know," ?atd Lvllomay, "but you must not talk that way. Don't you think your troubles' have turned our brain a little? You of course knew thst Jerry had given your father her money if anything happened to hor. When It was found that your right to it would be legal, only when you had married her . which you had done on her deth-: ted, k was very eay for you to believe that dream as you lay un conscious beside her cold body." "Lille, Lille, I tell you It was true. You know Jerry and I had been childhood lovers. Dear foolish Jerry kept on loving me even when I had been so long away. I felt she was almost a stranger. "You know, dear, don't you. that there never was anyone elsu after I met you In the carden of the Tullleries that night ? I do not think anyone was a happy r.s we. Fate was jealcus of iw." "I hud never known what Jerry had done for my parents and of course, 1 expected that when I told ;ny father I loved you he would know It was only a boy's affection I had had for Jerry. "But before I could tell him this Lille dear, he told me what I wrote you in that dnmnaUe letter. Jerry had always looked upon herself as my future wife. She had always 'oved mo with the -white virginal luve of a child. Hut it had become the paarlonuto love of a woman. It was time we married,' my fath er said. "Wher. tho time came when ;:he coulrt holp my father out of utter failure all her vast wealth was place;! In his hands with the same beautiful love and trust as though she were already his .laughter. 'Father told me that although she had not herd lately from me fhe had such faith in me she was sura I still loved her. So she had ?ome over with them to tell mc phe would marry me as soon as I wish ed. 'Oh, Lille darling, you flhall nev er know my feelings when my fath er told me that. "I saw the heaven which you nnd I had made out of Ml the little commonplaces of our Me drop in to the nethermost hell of agony and deiatr. "Lille dear, after my father hsd told me I felt I could not break his heart by telling him I could not marry the girl to whom I waa in honor bound. Then I wrote you that letter." "Don't tell me about it. Rob. Lille said, as she nestled closer In his arms. I cannot bear to have you talk about It now that I have you back." "I must, dourest; I must tell you. Ye must get this thing all xtrnightened out or I shall go mad, and besides, I may not be able to como to you very soon. I have tnu'-h to do before we shall be man and wife. "O Lille, I shall never forget that nlgnt in the restaurant when I saw your stricken eyes." Lillo felt Rob raise her face whl:h was cuddled on his should er. He closrd her eyra with kisses. "I felt I was slowly murdering ou," he said softly. For anttwer Lille clasped her arms closer around his neck. "I was glad my darlln?," he continu ed, "that you sailed for home so soon. I do not think I could have borne It much longer. "After you left, the ariange mentj for the marriage went on rapidly. Jerry was very Bweet. Lille Kvery day I told her I was not worthy of hernnd every day she loid m that worthy" or unworthy she could not live without me."
