INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY
1t Means, Paradoxically, the End of
Individualism.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodges reported
statement that 'indiNdualism seems to
her TO imply selhshness, because devotion
TO ones acknowledgment means inevita-
bly, the sacrifice OF the many" is most
illogical ant-sufrage argument. Mrs.
Dodge nevertheless uses It as an argu-
ment against individual liberty.

sighted author Of The New Politics"
T.. b. Vrooman, by way OF reply. In
dividual liberty" says Mr.. Vrooman, In
italics, does not lie toward individual
ism
Is 1t not. in fact. the very absence OF
individual liberty which has made the
"anti-suffrasists" and the "suffragettes"
(both Of whom are more individualistic
and illogical in their methods than the
majority OF suffragists) indlvidualistic?
Individual liberty may, indeed be
counted on to lessen that '1ndividualism
and sacrifice OF the many" which Mrs.
Dodge processes To fear-wlthout quite
realizing that the effect OF anti-suffrage
is the preservation of the few at the
growing expense OF the many.
Ii is with the same blindness that the
National Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage CONSTITUTES Miss Shaw's statement
that the only purpose the anti-suffrage
association serves is to act as screen for
the liquor traffic. the gambler, the vicious
and those interested in dance halls and
places where young girls are ruined"
The aforesaid association constructs
Miss Shaw's words as an insult. Miss
Shaw did not say (and I heard her make
the speech In question: that IL was the
purpose OF that association to do these
things. She merely stated that they
served these purposes | desire to call

Count Zeppelin's Next Great Undertaking.

Many reasons can be given for regarding seriously
the great project which Count Zeppelin is said to
be cherishing-a fight from Europe to the Pacific
Coast of America in 1915. He has done more than

uses. He has shown wonderful patience in over

The Third Day at Gettysburg.

Picketts charge looms largest in the Third Days
Battle of Gettysburg. That desperate and highly
spectacular movement has impressed the imagina-
ton as few other great charges have That is be-
cause it came as the climax of tremendous battle
and sealed the fate of the decisive campaign Of
the Civil War.
From the military point Of view it fororn
hope enterprise poorly executed and soon coming to
grief Pickett had in his division about five thou
sand men, and with its supports the attacking col
umn numbered about twelve thousand 1t too
small force with which to try to break through
the Union centre, inasmuch as the prior artillery
attack had given notice where the blow would fall
and the Union army was entirely prepared to meet
it, Longstreet did not expect the attack to succeed
and his judgment was promptly verified.
Picketts division of Virgnians has somewhat mo-
nopolized the glory of the charge. But there were
others in It, Pettigrew's division was under as
severely. Virginia had nineteen regiments In the
attack, but North Carolina had fifteen and other
states eight Greater valor was never shown than
in the Southern armys attack, hut it was I'll con
certed and faulty executed and involved useless
losses. Lee threw too recklessly for high stakes
and the Army of Northern Virginia had to pay the
cost
Whatever its failings from the point Of view of
military science Picketts assault has n pecul-
far Immortality. It has n place in the popular
Imagination from which it never be ousted. 1t
was the high water mark of Confederate effort apd
its failure was symbolic Of Confederate collapse.
Above the bayonets mixed and crossed
Men gray gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry of nation lost.
SO wrote VIII H. Thompson in one of the finest
battle lyrics in any language. 1t is in this large
symbolic sense that Pckett's charge epitomizss the
third and la Of the bloody days at Gettysburg.

THAT FIRST ELEVATOR
It Was Not in the Fifth Avenue

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. I notice your article entitled The

were ever built, the other being for the

These facts are given by one who prob

DR.. Finley as State Commissioner OF
Education

Just one serious regret will be caused by the APP
pointment of DR.. Finley State Commissioner OF
Education. That will be at the loss which the Col
lege of the City of New York will suffer through
his departure from its presidents office. But even
that regret will be aeviated by the thought OF the
inestimaby great work which he has done for the
college, and which he has done so securely and so
well that it will remain after his departure.
The loss Of that single institution of this city
will moreover, be far than counterbalanced
by the great gain to the whole educational system
Of the state It may unhesitatingy be said that
better selection than that Of DR.. Finley would have
been difficult If not impossible to make. de has
the high special qualifications Of being at once
scholarly educator and competent administrator
and Of having had much practical experience in both
private and public institutions Of learning. Just In
the prime of life, he potentially has before him
many years Of profitable service to the state.
We may confidently believe that his appointment
has been made not because of personal favor or po-
litca pull" but purely merit 1t is to be hoped
that his successor at the City College will he Sc
lected on the same high ground

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you kindly deny for me in the
columns OF The Tribune the statement
credited 10 me in this mornings issue, In
the form OF an interview. that confirmed
in any material part any Of NJ. VI. Null
halls statements regarding any dealings
between the National Association OF Man
ufacturers and Samuel Gompers? BrouSh-
ton Brandenburg, whose name Is men
toned, has never been in my employ nor
that of any company or organization with
which have been associated. AS free
lance" writer he sold occasional manu-
scripts several years ago.
No negotiations, so far as my knowl-
edge goes, were ever suggested, au-
thorized or countenanced with Samuel
Gompers in the interests Of the National
Association OF Manufacturers. nor was
any appointment ever made or consid-
cred with him. Mr.. Brandenburg did
come to us with a proposition that he
claimed was authorized by Mr.. Gompers.
II was my duty to lay that proposltion'
for what IL was worth. before President
Van Cleave and the executive committee.
II was our unanimous opinion that Mr.
Gompers had not made such PROPOSE
ton, and, further that II he had IT could
not be considered. and Mr.. Brandenburg
was so informed.

cut and definite so that the facts can
stand beyond question. since your report
ing a few words by telephone leaves the
impression that have in some way con-
firmed something.
