BARREN INTOLERANCE
The intolerance of youth when confronted by experience is proverbial — and comical, writes Mr fl. A. Vaciielt in a collection of essays. "Littl.: Tyrannies." The intolerance of age is criminal and ought io be regarded as a sign of approaching senility. I lil'i my hat to the man or woman who is not ashamed of a change of mind. What wc think on Monday ought to be subject to modification on Tuesday, and by Saturday we may be iuslifi'.'d in lhe solemn affirmation that what was said too thoughtlessly on Monday was slicer nonsense. The rcactionai'.' is ever intolerant of progress, but lie may be left to simmer in his own acrid juices.
