Rippling Rhymes. $ i s(; By Walt Mason. ' : THE FIRST PLOW Old Tuljal Cain was badly bored by Jill the wrangles -of bis dsy; bo made n plowshare of a sword, and thought that war was flono away. "Woe whist,'' he. eid, "when people boo how much a yton-share beats a sword, they'll get a ior"v and try, like me, to sanely earn tlielr bed and board. The tools of war I laugh to scorn, no worthy trinmps lisve they won; a man can't cultivate liis corn with any sort of patent gun. War makes the weary nations weep, and agriculture mukos them grin; no hus lunilntnn can shear his sheep with entu pull or culverin." Alns for good old Tuliiil Cuin, and all the lessons that he tiiughtl His bright example wit In vain, for ever .since we've scrapped and fought.

The case of Gabriele D'Annunzio, the Italian poet-soldier who led the Italian mutineers in the seizure of Fiume, presents the most spectacular exhibition of the sentimen tal poatic'temperament in politics since the days of Lord Byron.- The latter, however, was inspired by a passionate love of liberty and sought the freedom of oppressed peo ples, regardess of nationality, while D'Annunzio is inspir ed by a fiery provincial patrotism seeking Italian, glory at the expense of liberty and justice, r :v ; Fiume is not and never was an Italian city. Census figures show a cosmopolitan community with representa tives from all the peoples of south-central Europe. Italians comprise the largest faction in the city proper, but if the suburbs containing most of the popuation, are included, the Jugo Slavs are in the majority. Fiume has had a varied history and passed from the possession of one nation to another since its. foundation by the Romans and its subsequent destruction during the dark ages.- Most of the time it has been ruled- by ; the Hapsburgs or their feudal mandatories. Only for a brief period when Venice ruled the Adriatic, was Fiume Italian. Since the union of Austria and Hungary, Fiume has been a possession of the latter, the port of entry for Hungary Croatia, Bosnia and the Slavic nations held in subjection by the dual empire. Italy never asserted any claim, to Fiume until the Al lied arms had been successful. Even the secret treaties by which the Allied nations secured the support of Italy by promising Triest, and the northern Adriatic coast, left Fiume out of the reckoning. Italian claims to Fiume were presented to the peace conference and rejected as an injustice to the liberated peoples, despite the threat of Italian jingoes to secede from the conference. The action of D'Annunzio is for mally repudiated by the Italian government, which, how ever, is doing little to suppress the mutiny and has appeal ed to the Allied nations to capture the city, which D'An nunzio declares will be destroyed before surrendered. Italy faces a second cabinet crisis as a result of the Fiume episode. The sympathies of a large proportion of Italians is evidently with the poet, who voices the imperiol aims that led the Italians to their recent wars of conquest and caused their participation in the world conflict. ; ; Imperialism and not democracy inspires D'Annunzio a restoration and perpetuation of the ideals of the old order of empire, a medievial triumph of might over right, and all the poet's fiery imagery, all his passionate patriot ism, all his fanciful fanfaronade cannot color black wrong the shining light of justice. THURSDAY BIG DAY FOR ELKS AT STATE AR To the Elks of .Salem ,aud to those interested In flic Elks of Portland and Salem, Thursday is the groat day at tho state fair t ',' ; More than any years in the past, an effort has been made this year to put on a genuine entertainment at noon in the stadium.
