PARK SINGING

tFrom the Kansas City Star.1
That singing in the parks" sugges-
ton, made by some thoughtful women
to the park board, ought to catch on at
once. 1t will If the park board gives it
a chance
Vocal soloists and spontaneous
choruses along with the band concerts
would be something fine. 1t would have
the effect of old time congregational
singing in the churches.
For some reason, most of America s
pubic musical expression is done by
proxy. But look how choral festivals
and popular choruses take" Suppose
there were gathered together ali the
% where sing everything. from China
God, to Thee" and suppose all those
voices were let loose in a bunch, with
an extra good singer giving the start
wouldn't that be great?
americans are naturally a musical
people, and If Americans who Gust
growed' here weren't, still there have
come here enough Italians and Ger
mans and Russians and sweet singers
In israel to make us so. Anything that
gets the people together on a more
selt,forgetful plane than taking Jobs
or hired girls or baseball or dresses
is fine. These art stunts, like Singing
and dancing folk dances and so on are
common with all the European folks" "
and it all lends color and zest and a
sort OF communal and neighborly and
national feeling among them thai

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

THOUGH the people of this coun-
try undoubtedly want a perman-
ent, nonpartisan tariff commits
sion they don't want it appointed by
a Democratic President who will select
a majority of it's members from among
men who are opposed to a scientific
protection tariff.
They want a tariff commission
created by the friends of the protec-
tion principle. They want it to ascer-
tain the facts and submit those facts
to Congress for its guidance in deter
mining the amount of duty necessary
to give the American wage-earner
adequate protection from the cheap
labor of foreign countries.
They want a tariff commission not
subservient to the White House, but
acting in its own right and according
to its own judgment under authority
of law definitely prescribing it's pow
ers and duties. They want com
mission governed by law and under
no obligations to a Democratic Presi-
dent who opposes the principle of a
protective tariff.

WATTERsON WOULD HANG ,EM

Henry Watterson, in the Louisville
Courier Journal, Saturday, said:
1t is the last straw that breaks the
Gamers back. Long ago should Count
Won Bernstorff been given his pass
portsi now'he must go, and along with
him the whole imperial outfit will have
TO walk the plank. The country has
peace. 40
Invaded by horde of secret service
agents, who found here a body of re-
serVists already organized and pre-
pared to meet them, there has been no
time when Germany was not making
war upon us. His hirelngs have
threatened US with civil strife They
nave threatened us with political de-
struction. The time has come when we
shall send the officials away and COM
pei the domestic leaders, the subsidized
their place.
ut may be that not until we have
hanged few of them will they learn
that the United States is a Govern
ment, and that America belongs to the
Americans.
We have neither right nor reason
to doubt the President. His attitude
admits of no further parley euuiVoca-
tion or delay. The people en- masse de-
mand the suspension of all relations
with Germany, and we believe he will
promptly answer the summons Berlin

THE COLONEL AT PLATTsBURG

lFrom the New York Sun1
Anything so foolish as an attempt
py the Executive to hold General
Leonard Wood responsible for Colonel
Roosevelt's utterances at Plattsburg
surpasses the longest range of credi-
bility. Secretary Garrison is not only
man of strong common sense but
also a man with an active sense of
humor. In this case his influence with
the administration ought to be suffici-
ent to save it from making itself ri
For that part of Colonel Roosevelts
speech which emphasized the import
5nce or national preparedness, which
discussed the malefieent workings of
the peace at any price propaganda, and
Whlch vigorously exposed and denounc-
ed the true character of bipatriotism,
Ine senior ex-President of the United
states deserves the thanks of the coun-
try. 1t was public service of which
ne and his friends may well be proud.
On the other hand. Colonel Roosevelt s
personal attack on the President was

WOODS COMMON SENSE

tFrom the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
General Woods very free and frank
exposure of the volunteer" folly al
the Plattsburg camp ought to go a
long way toward bringing the country
livious TO facts, indeed incapable OF un-
derstanding them. Bryan is at his old
tricks of palming off a nostrum as a
sure cure-all,. specific, a panacea for
militarism. And just as the most un-
considerable of the village medicine
takers by his, loud and irresponsible
claims may disturb the public belief
in sound and sane medicine, so Doctor
Bryan is making a desperate effort to
substitute, Something just as good and
better than the real thing" into this
campaign of do-nothingism General
Wood has thrown a few bombs, and
they are, timely. You cannot impro-
wise soldiery over night: defense is not
a matter of rhetorical intention; wars
are not by oratory; and. as all facts
show. when we shall need as defenders
trained men, 1t is to men like General
Wood the country will turn for sugges-
tion and not to the vapid visionary out
in Nebraska.

WHERE WE STAND

TINE American dollar rules the
i financial world-not through the
wisdom of the Democratic law
makers but through the folly of those
European rulers who precipitated the
most ruinous war in the worlds his
tory. Our own economic system is
just as weak at the foundation to-day
as 1t was in July, 1914, when the bal
ance of trade was running higher and
higher against u.s. We have been
saved from disaster, not by our own
action, but by the extreme necessities
of our unfortunate cousins across the
Atlantic. Foolish, foolish indeed, the
man who deludes himself with the
idea that such an economic structure
can endure beyond the day when its
foundation falls.

WAR ON uLITERACY

NORTH CAROLINA has declared
IN war on illiteracy. Every per-
son in the State to read and
write in 1920" is the slogan of the
educational forces that will inaugurate
a Statewide moonlight school" cam
paign beginning on Labor Day. On
practically every hill in the Tarheel
State these moonlight schools" will be
opened this Fall, and the admission
will be free to old and young alike.
In this movement practically every
organization in the State has been en-
listed. The interest which has been
taken in this movement not only by
the educators, including all members
of all the cooperating organizations.
but also by those for whom the schools
are intended, is wonderful. Labor Day
in North Carolina is to be a labor day
in fact This day will be observed
by the county educators by walking
over their districts explaining the plan
and announcing the opening which is
to occur the following evening""
The movement corresponds in some
respects with the might school" as
conducted in the North. The South has
been chronically deficient in its ed
ucational activities. Thousands of dol
lars of northern money are being
poured into the poorer sections of the
Southern States every year for the
maintenance of private schools that
ought to be conducted as they are in
Pennsylvania, by public taxation. The
South ought to be ashamed of this
condition. and apparently North Caro-
lima, which has been one of the princi-
pal beneficiaries of northern generos-
ity, has awakened to its neglect of a
great public duty. The moonlight
