work will not be passed over by the citi-
zens. There is no finer building in the
city than this; it is splendid specimen
of architecture. An hour or two spent III
visiting it would be profitable for any
New Yorker not familiar with its beau
ties, now brought to full bloom again
Many a citizen, presumably full of local
pride, will journey to Salem, to Cam
bridge, to Princeton, to view the fine old
Colonial houses which still stand, and
there are thousands on thousands who
have travelled all over Europe visiting
famous edifces who won't go five min
utes' walk out of their way to inspect one
of the city's choicest possessions.

moderated the enemy as to expose them
selves to so obvious a peril.
The Russian fleet compared with the
German is weak; if the reports that have
been given out are correct, how is II
possible to account for the deliberate
risking of vessels and men involved IN
such an attack? The Russian force OIL
sea was apparently not even effectively
masked and the transports were so badly
handled, according to the accounts, that
they lay for two hours under the fire OF
the shore batteries and were smashed to
pieces. 1t is true that in the early part
of this month there was report from
Petrograd of the sinking of large Ger
man transport apparently bound the same
way, SO it is conceivable that an attempt
of this sort is considered desirable even
at the risk of interference by the Rus
sian fleet. But the reports received so
far are so conflicting and so vague that it
is well to wait for further intelligence
before drawing conclusions.

Jewelry Styles.

The president of the National Retail
jewelers. Association is authority Tor the
statement that the articles the members
sell are not Injuries. Far from it! They
are necessity of the higher civlllza-
ton" Moreover they play so important
a part in life's developments that the time
has come, it has been decided, to subject
them to changes in fashion. Any person
of real pretensons to membership in the
higher civilization who hereafter wears
her diamonds and pearls in the same set
ting for more than one season will be dis
tinctly anti-social-she will be, practical
ly. an outcast and social criminal.
Though it portray sad, sad state Of
affairs in this country of pretens!ons to
civilization, it is altogether probable that
something like Teutonic autocracy will
be necessary to enforce this decree. Not
that there will not be small, select circle
who gladly and willingly will live up to
il. Diamond Jim" Brady has, and in
evitably always will have, followers and
competitors in the genial art of outshin-
ing Broadways lights with his jewels.
But the hard, cold truth is that, so far as
most of us are concerned, it takes so much
effort and so much cash to accumulate
the modest ornaments termed "the family
Jewels" that there's none left for sea-
sonal alterations and additions.
Moreover, a fundamental truth was
once enunciated- regarding diamonds
by "Fingey" Corners, who maintained
"Them as has 'em wears EN-" They do,
and possession in any style of fabrication
is held to justify it, regardless of devia-
ton from the current years styles. The
malefactor of great wealth finds it neces-
sary to change his imported motor car
each year just as his wife has her
precious gems reset for better display at
the Metropolitan opening. But the horny
handed ordinary American drives his
Ford year after year, and his wife dons.
the same old rings with pardonable
pride when they go out in the evening
to the moving picture show. Neither
stratum of society is likely to change its
habits, which doesn't indicate a great like
lihood of our having magazines devoted
to fashions in jewelry as some are now
devoted to fashions in clothes.

LYNCH LAW IN SOUTHERN EYES
Deplored by Many as a Dangerous
Expression of Anarchy.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a Northerner who has lived much
in the South would like to give the wide
publicity of your columns to the words OF
the late Robert Means Davis and Lynch law.
They are timely defence against the mis-
taken idea that persons Of intelligence de-
fend mob violence because they happen to
be Southerners. Those who palliate lynch
ing in the South belong to the class of Hitter
ates or are of those on the verge Of it.
Professor Davis was for many years teach
er of history in the University OF South
Carolina. A mastery and genial scholar, he
was also, il would seem, a prophet, for what
he predicted ten years ago has veritably
come to pass in the Frank case. He was
treating of anarchy probably the French
Revolution suggested it,, and branched into
the subject of Lynch law. | was astonished
and impressed with what he said, and have
often made use of his words to refute my
Northern friends in their wholesale case
against the Southerner In meeting him
outside the classroom | heard him protest
vigorously on the subject, and deplore the
fact that the South, which had given the
world so many distinguished jurists, should
also provide such spectacles of anarchy. His
words as ! made note of them were:
Lynch law is only fantastic name for
murder, and every man who excuses it ex-
cuses murder; every man who assists in its
Performance is a murderer. To-day it is in
voked against the negro; but in the end it
will turn against the whites who have en-
ployed it. Without distinction of race or
color, wherever Lynch law is allowed to pre-
vail justice will be rendered impossible. We
shall yet see in these Southern states the
courts of justice besieged by the mob, and
we will be driven to protect judge and jury
with the militia"
The disgrace which has come upon Geor-
ga was exactly foretold in those words. He
expressed, however, only the opinions and
the fears of every thinking man and woman
of the South. W. READ HERSEY.

Away with the Hyphen.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: A news item this morning apprises
the public that a certain organization
formed under German-Amercan (sic) au-
spices, and calling itself "The Friends of
Peace" has dispatched to the President of
the United States telegram signed by one
John Brsben Walker, chairman, presuming
to advise and even warn the President as
to his duties and rights under the Consti-
tuition.
This is a free country, and freedom of
speech is guaranteed to all, which means
that any person or set of persons is privi-
legged to give public utterance to any ideas,
however asinine, which they may be pleased
to entertain Therefore it were idle to
waste breath in commenting on the silly
and disingenuous sophistries and wilful per-
versions of fact contained in the telegram
referred TO.
1t is. however, going a step too far when
any foreign or semi-foreign organization has
the unparalleled impertinence to offer ad-
vice to the President as to his duties 1t
is a piece of unspeakable insoence which
should not be tolerated for moment
And let me further say in this same con-
necton that it is high time for all of us
clearly to understand and bear constantly
in mind that there is only one kind of Am
orican citizen. II is time to abandon the
general use of such loose and meaningless
expressions as "German-Americans," An
glo-Americans" and the Ikea pre-emi-
nently, it is time for all those who have
been chasing themselves as German-Ameri-
cans TO choose, once and for all, either one
side of the hyphen or the other.
There is not, and there never can be, such
thing as a German-American. A loyal
American citizen of German birth or extrac-
ton is perfectly conceivable, and differs in
no whit from any other real American. Like
wise, one can understand and respect a loyal
German subject residing temporarily in this
country. But mixture of the two is a
garing contradiction in terms, an inconceiv-
able and misbegotten hybrid, neither fish,
nesh nor fowl, nor good red herring; as
absurd and grotesque an impossibility as the
Mock Turtle in Alice in Wonderland"

German Money and Neutrals.
(From The Dundee Adrertiser)

(Fr0m The Dundee AdreTfiser.)
A Prussian statesman boasted the other day
that, as Germans were living on the country
of the enemy, the war expenditure was much
lighter than that of the Allies. There is
nevertheless, one item to which Germans
have been very extravagant without reaping
the benefit expected. The German propa-
ganda in neutral states has been carried on
with a lavish outlay of money. Prince Bdlow
spent enormous sums in Rome. Baron Scheak,
at Athens, is receiving very large subsidies.
German money has been flowing like Pac-
tolan stream in the Balkans, and, needless
to add, the amount expended by Herr Dern-
burg in America was "kolossal," and that
even in China German agents have been fling
ing German cash about with reckless profu-
sion,

Retaining "The Tail of the Ticket"

Both the Republican and Democratic
parties are pledged to the short ballot
principle-the Democrats to specific re-
duction in the number Of elected officials
the Republicans generally to "substan'
tial" reduction. If the short ballot scheme
recommended by the Constitutional Con
vention Committee on Governor and
Other State Officers be defeated by the
machine politicians and officials who are
now opposing it, this defeat will con-
stitute a deliberate betrayal of party
pledges. Moreover, if some of the dele
gates vote against it who are now said to
be working against it, this will be de-
liberate violation of personal pledges.
The merits Of the short ballot long age
passed out of the stage of controversy
Just as the plan passed out of partisan pol
itics. 1t is the one means of repairing the
political machinery put forward in recent
years on which practically everybody has
been agreed-everybody but the politicians
who find in the dickering over subordinate
Jobs and the election of their men at "the
tail of the ticket" the surest way Of main
tanning their organizations. The present
fight is a fight for jobs, pure and simple
1t is an effort to keep patronage within
the power of political bosses rather than
to place the appointment of state officials
in the hands of the Governor, who is like
ly to be pretty free from domination by
those politicians.
There should be no compromise on this
The plan favored by the Committee on
Governor and Other State officers did not
90 far enough, for it retained the Attor-
ney General as an elective official, against
ali reason. This should be corrected and
the committee should then force vote in
the convention. The public wants short
ballot. If the machine politicians fear it
enough to be willing to stand up and be
counted against it, they should have the
opportunity. The public can deal with
them later if they defeat the proposal.

Cornell made forty more points aga'ns'
their opponents than that registered py

TERPS NOT WORRIED
BY BENDER'S SUIT

Baltimore. Md, Dec. 1.-Omcials Of the
Baltimore Club. Of the Federal League.
are not worrying q bit about the suit
brought by Chief Bender for alleged
breach Of contract. Secretary Harry
Goldman, OF the Terps. declared this
morning the locals haven't any idea Of
arguing the subject In the newspapers.
but the Feds would be on the job with
their defense at the proper time.
James Gilmore, president Of the third
major. had considerably more to say.
When called over the telephone he said
II have heard that Bender has insti-
tuted proceedings Of some sort against
the Federal League. but what they are
I don't know and ] care less. The Fed
eral League has played fair with all Its
men. and We have strained many points
to the last degree in doing SO. We have
respected our contracts. but a contract
ceases to be a contract when one party
does not do its part In the fulnllment
