TEN. It is therefore. all the more important
that we should give him a square deal" We
should not put respectable blacks and criminal
blacks on the same level. We should set the
example which we urge the South Of en-
couraging the good negro, while discouraging
the bad one. Least OF all should we put IN
practice the theory-involved in every race war
that man is 10 be judged not by his individ-
ual conduct, but by the color of his skin, be 1t
white or black or yellow
Beyond doubt the condition Of the negro who
settles in New York is anything but encourag-
ing. The necessity OF living in colonies and Of
thus being brought as a mass in contact with
nelghbors who are far from welcoming such
m association and who are generally of the
lower order Of whites, vicious and disorderly,
invites race enmtieS. while the closing of so
many fields of labor makes industrial progress
difficult. Frankly, the negro is far better of
in the South where labor conditions suit him
and he is a controlling factor in the labor mar
ket But If he comes here in spite OF these dis
couragements, his lot should not in justice be
made harder by subjecting him 10 the teTrors
of race prescription and indiscriminate mob
violence at the hands of our white toughs."

THE PLAN OF PEACEMAKING.

It must be regarded as cause for little sur
prise and for more regret that something like
demand has been made for China's representa-
ton in the peace negotiations between Russia
and japan, and that Russia has been made to
appear to favor it. Even though as we have
hitherto said, such desire on China's part may
not be unnatural, the grave arguments against
It should be apparent to the statesmen OF that
empire, and they should be still more apparent
and convincing to the Russian government
The President Of the United States, acting
benevolently and impartially. for the sake or
humanity, on June last, automatically urged
the Russian and japanese governments ito open
direct negotiations for peace with one an
"other" and further suggested "that these peace
negotiations be conducted directly and exclu-
"sively between the belligerents." The studied
and explicit phraseology of that communica-
ton, and the fact that it was addressed to the
Russian and japanese governments alone and
to no other, Enthusiastically indicated his inten-
ton that only Russia and Japan were to be
parties to the negotiations. 1t Is understood
that those two governments accepted his sug-
gestion Just as it was made Since, then, the
agreement was thus made for negotiations lex
clusively between the belgerents," it would
seem to be an extraordinary performance now
TO introduce into the conference third power,
which is not a bellgerent but which, on the con-
trary has been kept out of the war through the
earnest diplomatic efforts of the United States.
OF course, if both Japan and Russia should
spontaneously agree TO invite China into the
conference no other nation would have ground
for objection. not even the United States, though
such action would be contrary to the suggestion
which its President made and which was ac-
cepted by the belligerents. But since one Of the
bellgerents is resolutely opposed to such altera-
ton of the plan of peacemaking, any further
insistence upon it would be deplorable as cal
culated merely TO delay and embarrass the ne
gotiations which all the world desires to see
promptly conducted to q harmonious and salts
factory conclusion. After that will come China's
turn to seek adjustment of her claims, and we
have no doubt she Will secure it on an equitable
basis.

ROE RIOrs IN NEK.YoRK.

The race riot which set a section of the upper
West Side in an uprOar on Friday night diff
fered from other disturbances of the same char
aeter In that it seems to have had no definite
cause. The worst race war We have recently
had was due TO the murder of a policeman by
a negro criminal Other outbreaks have been
provoked by specific acts of outrage or violence
but no sufficient motive has been discovered for
Fridays clash. According TO one story, the
trouble started through an attack by white
street gamiDs on an old clothes pedler, who
was also white. The race issue only in
5eeted later wheR a negro boy was attacked
for defending the pedler and a negro rufiau
attempted 10 shoot a policeman who was help
ing 20 protect the pedleF's black ally and re-
store peace IN the block. Without any real
cause or warrant, the white and negro residents
OF the section thereupOn began to lombard
each other with brickbats and pistol vOlleys
The fusiilade lasted several hours and two
hundred and fifty policemen had to be called
out TO re-establish order.
In one sense such an exhibition Of race an
fipathy approaches the ridiculous, but IN an
other II is altogether menacing and deplOrable
We are given TO criticisng the lawlessness
which in Southern communities leads TO race
vendettas and wholesale lynchings, but IN the
South such outbreaks usually follow some fla
grant crime and aim az punishing known or
suspected criminals. In Fridays disturbance
this excuse for a resort 10 violence was wholly
lacking On trivial grounds, or without any
grounds 1T all, whites attacked blacks and
blacks attacked whites. Both classes seem TO
have acted on the merest impulse Of race preju-
dice and race rancOr.
1t is our duty TO condemn the spirit thus
shown even more pontedly than we have con-
demned the spirit which uEderles the SOuth's
summary treatment OF its negro criminals. The
negro in New-York is not free from blame Un-
dOubtedly, by his own vicious and disOrderly
conduct he often invites the hostility Of his
white neighb0rs. But the negro is here as a
weak aud to some extent an oatraeized ele-

THE COLLEGE WOMAN.

Professor Mills of Vassar, is entitled to much
gratitude for his sane and convincing remarks
at the American Institute Of Instruction the
other day on the higher education of women
He addressed himself particularly to the not
uncommon complaint that higher education
makes women unovely, pedantic and disin-
clined to matrimOny and motherhood. The
truth of this he vigorously challenged. lie de-
MED that the average college girl was inclined
to be too much dominated by intellectually or
to have too little interest in the other sex, and
then he drew this attractive picture of her:
''She is generally fairly healthy and very low
"able girl, who has normal interests in school,
in sports, in social affairs and in domestic mat
tiers, and is tending toward marital engage
''ment at about the same rate as those of her
social class who are not in college"
1t is TO be believed that that view of her Is
correct for several reasons One is that of hu-
man nature Doubtless there have always been
and always will be hluestocking w0men-the
original bluestoeklng, by the way, was mani
as unlovey as they were declared by Rousseau
to be. Yet we must remember that, though
the philosopher Of Emile" inveighed against
the "flle lettree" and the femme bel-esprit,"
not long afterward the philosopher Of Faust"
reminded US of "das g-Webliche"-"the
eternal feminine" 1t is simply unbelievable
as contrary TO human nature, that three or four
years of study should transform that eternal
feminine" The disposition, temperament and
passions of the human race are not so easily
changed. The nature of men is not altered by
education. Precisely the same natural passions
prevail in the man who has been and the man
who has not been through college. If mascu-
Unity is superior to intellectual changes, will
it be with femininity
Another reason is TO he found in the testi-
mony Of contemporaries. Trustworthy statis-
ties cited by Professor Mills show that college
women marry and become mothers in the same
proportion as women of the same social grade
who have not gone to college. Nor is the Cesti-

There can be little doubt that II he could start
earlier he would find the ice more stable and
perhaps smoother. In any case, he believes
to be traversed will offer the most hardships
and the rest of the journey will be easier
Obviously, If there Is light enough in March to
permit doing so, something might be gained
by starting out from his winter base sooner
next time than ever before. The sun Is not
visible at the Pole until the equinox, but it
can be seen at Cape Heela several days before
that time Moreover, the moon will be full

would be helpful if the skies were clear. Peary

he wants next spring. he may have a very diff
ferent story to tell IN consequence.
For three years past The Tribune has at
intervals expressed the opinion that a flying
machine of the Santos Dumont type would be
an aid TO polar research That kind of appa-
ratus has not yet, however, been developed to
the point which makes a fight of five hundred
miles, even in instalments, a practical certain
ty Arctic temperatures would raise new prob
lens relative to fabrication and condensation
which have not been suitably studied. The time
is not ripe for such a venture, therefore Be
sides, we do not believe that the possibilities
of sledging over the polar pack have been
fully exhausted. Peary himself has great con
fidence that they win prove more propitOus in
his hands In the future than in the past. and
faith Is certainly infectious.

mony of the critics of college women to be
ignored For many years nothing has been
more common than for would-be wits to depict
college girls as frivolous young things to whom
serious study is a joke, and whose minds are
chiefly turned toward fashions and pleasures
and. above all, beaus. Certainly If that picture
of them is correct the forbidding bluestockins
picture cannot be- This diametric divergence
of hostile criticisms gives ground for the opln'
ion that neither OF them is wholly or generally
true There are doubtless young women In col
lege so shallow and frivolous that higher In
struction is wasted upon them. There are also
young men in college of whom the same may be
said. There are young women who emerge
from college practically unsexed. They PROD
ably would have been bluestOekings If they had
never gone even to high schools. So there are
young men who come out of college utterly un-
fitted for manly vocations. They probably would
have become prgs if they had never gone be-
yond the Kindergarten.
Such types are freaks. Happily, they are few
The average college man is manly man, VINO
is because OF his college culture, all the better
fitted TO do a mans work among his fellow men
So, too, the average college woman is womanIy
woman because of her college life all the better
fitted to fill in our social and domestic economy
the place for which woman was designed and
in which she is indispensable. The "sweet girl
graduate" loses none of the sweetness OF her
girhood and loses none of the eternal feml-
nine" through being a graduate.
