think of the Japanese crusatler who commits hnrikari
in public as a protest against the things that hi: consid
ers to bo evil but which he finds himself impotent to
correct.
Just as the Japanese suicide's act serves to call at
tention somewhat forcibly to his cause, so Mr. Price, in
bis letter of resignation, turns the spotlight upon some
alleged conditions that are, to say the least, rather
remarkable.
State Game "Warden A. K Burghduff is accused by
the retiring commissioner of being engaged in the busi
ness of hatching and raising (rout on his own account
and of using his office to get supplies for his private
business free of cost. In a statement published con
currently with news of Mr. Price's resignation, Captain
JJurghduff contents himself with saying that it is not
truo ho has been neglecting .his official duties for his
private business. Ho does not deny that ho is in the
hatchery business nor answer the charge that he is
using his official position to supply Ins private busi
ness with stock. It would seem fair (o say that the
charge ought to bo answered by the game, warden,
George L. (leaver, discharged state prohibition com
missioner, is still on the slate payroll, according to an
other disclosure coming out of the Price resignation.
Cleaver is charged with having tried to get the aid of
members of the game commission to "frame" Warden
Burghduff on a liquor law violation charge. Price does
hot like HurghdulT, but he couldn't stand a plot so raw
against him, he says. And that is not all. The plot
of the story ramifies. Cleaver's present official position
in the service of the state of Oregon is that of special
agent. lie works, it appears, directly under Governor
Pierce, The governor, according to t lie political wise
acres, would like to see Burghduff 's scalp lifted. But
iu the storm and slrifo of the recent legislative session,
when the governor was calling for help" for his dubious
legislative programme, threo senators who came to his
support wero Kisk, Kdtly and Hare. They are nil, in
game commission affairs, Burghduff men; And the
price of the aid which they extended to the governor in
his hour of need in said to have been a promise that
Burghduff would not be disturbed in his job. The gov
ernor, it is said, regretted the necessity for that promise,
mid afterwards quite consistently regretted its existence.
And since the Price disclosures of the plot attempted by
Cloaver, tho governor's personal henchman, to get evi
dence against the game warden for n charge wholly
foreign to .his official conduct, the Burghduff men arc
adding two und two and getting a total of four.
A Negro Singer.
THE story of Koland Hayes is told by one of the cur
rent magazines. Hayes is a full blooded negro,
born in Tennessee .'IS years ago. lie is one of the fore
most tenor singers in the world, and has sung with
great success in recital not only in leading American
cities but also iu Kngland, France, Germany, Austria
and other European countries.
Hayes' art is said to have accomplished one thing
that has never happened before. In southern cities,
Chattaaoomi, Xashvillc ami Louisville, white and col
ored people have pat side by bide to hear Haves sing.
His voice possesses a peculiar quality, a haunting timbre,
wholly indescribable, which he thinks is a heritage from
his African ancestors, with their voodoo magic mid
elemental passions.
The black man in America, says Hayes, has for gen
erations been stmh im: his Caucasion masters, imitating
them, embracing their culture anil religions, until he
understands them. But the white man has made no
effort to stuily negro psychology, thinking it not worth
whilethat the negro -had nothing to ol'lVr. The black

As the World Wags
By FRANK TAX KDDY
KjODKKN civjJization is an utter
failure according to 1. W. Fish
er, writing in the Atlantic Monthly.
He voices the mood of a,uite a num
ber of intellectuals of the . present
time who are shooting barbed sbufts
of venom or wit from their blow
pipes at the confused gprawling het
erogenity of our time. Few however,
have voiced such an utter condemna
tion in such biting phrases as has
Mr. Fisher in his article on "Seven
Centuries of Civilization."
...
"The world bus, as we say, come
down in the world,' sa.va Mr. Fisher.
"It has been used to better things. Jn
ancient times a spiritual life that cen
tered in art and philosophy made the
world; and in medieval timea a spir
itual life which centered in religion
and morality made the world. But
no spiritual life of any description
appears to be making the world at
present." These are the opening
words of the article and then follows
an eiposition of the manner in which
certain idealisms controlled the an
cient and medieval world which is
true enough. Then be cornea down
to our present time and finds all auch
motives lacking.
Here follow a few characteristic
quotations from Mr. Fisher's article.
"Since that day (meaning the close
of the medieval period) the great ac
cident has happened to the world. It
is a hard statement, but scarcely less
than the truth, to say that the man
of the present day has abandoned the
medieval belief in God. But that is
only the beginning of what he has
done. The man of the nreseni- Hn.
has also abandoned the Greek belief
in reason. And following that the
man of tbe present dav has nuita nat
urally abandoned the belief in man
nimscil.
"The central point is, that man has
ceased to be human. This, according
to an idea which originated with Aris
totle, Bhould mean that he has ceased
to be a national animal.
"But the modern man has not only
ceased to be rational; viewed in a cer
tain light, he has censed to be an ani
mal. Ho has not only become a non
rational animal; what is perhaps
worse is the fact that ho has in cer
tain wa.vs become a non-rational nm.
chine. Ho has become a part of the
macmnery of modern industrialism."
This bedevilment of modern man,
according to the author, cornea from
too much science in his head and too
much materialistic industrialism in
his environment which leaves him
with a kind of liberty with no goal of
action. "Thus man devotes himself
to matter and ceases to dominate life
and civilization," ia the conclusion
of the author.
...
The trouble with men of Mr. Fish
er's ilk is not that they do not see
accurately enough the maladies which
do afflict us and the destructive ef
fects of the great motive forceB in our
civilization but that they are too over
whelmed by the confusion of the
present to have breadth of view. They
are too much lost in the woods, full
of imps and hobgoblins, to be able to
gain any perspective.
.
The notion that our modern life Is
not teeming with real spirituality,
probably of a better quality and ccr
tniuly fnr more diffused, than wns tho
l.fo of ancient. Greece or medieval
Kurope is a mistake, The trouble with
our critical intellectuals who see noth
ing good in modern life is that they
do not find idealism crystallized about
definite principles and even more, per
lnips. that it has not been tabulated
and catalogued and put in books. It
is still a thing of flesh and blood; it
