" Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There has been much discussion OF
the appropriateness of the name Americans
for the people of the United States, an in
creasing appropriateness.
II Wilson is 10 remain Presiden; much
longer how would it do to change our name
to "Armenians"?
No, that would be scarcely fair to the real
Armenians, who have shown some courage
under persecution.
1t has become as small matter for the
Mexican Turks to murder an American as to
kill a Chinaman. Let's call ourselves Chi
nese."
No. again. that would be hattering our
selves too much; how would "Helots,'
"Parahs" or "Serfs" do?
Sensihc words are strongest I'VE need
strength, so | vote for "Helots"

New-York tribune., 1916-07-07

a patriotism which is more matter OF
emotion and high spirits than of serious
thought or devotion. But the words,
deeply as we are moved by the music,
arc obviously inadequate. Divorced from
the music they would hardly stand the
test Of good poetry
Dixie" is good but it has certain sec
tional associations which prevent 1t from
being truly representative national
hymn. "The Battle Hymn of the Republic
is in many ways our most excellent pa
triotic song, but it. along with Marching
Through Georgia. suggests period OF
our national history rather than the
totality of our American tradition.
The present high tide of Americanism
ought TO make some valuable contribution
TO our patriotic music. But as yet there
has emerged into public favor nothing
more important than that jingle which
runs: america, love you you're IKE a
sweetheart of mine" This ridiculous and
maudlin caricature Of patriotic sentiment
fl only for the vaudeville stage, is revc-
lation of the burlesque into which both
popular music and poetry have degen-
Grated in this country. The fact that such
a song as this should spring into popu-
laritv at time when men are discovering
in patriotism a new grandeur and serious
ness shows that as people we are neg
lecting one of the most necessary require
ments for national greatness-an intelli-
cont and nationwide interest in the arts.

New-York tribune., 1916-07-07
By Reason, Not Starvation.

Clearly. briefly, wildly. one Of the signs
carried in yesterdays parade of the strik
ing garment workers thus described the
existing situation:
"The present strike is not of our choos
ing. 1t was forced upon us. But, once We
are in it, we hold together until such time
as our employers will be ready to settle The
strike not by starvation. but on the prin
ciples of reason, of social and industria
justice"
That is the literal truth, not doc.
tored bid for public sympathy. This
lamentable strike was forced on the en-
ployes by the reputation Of formal
agreement by the Employers Protective
Association. That body, according to DR.
Felix Adler. threw in the faces of the
Mavor's Council of Cancellation an inter
probation of the peace agreement, though
the Council had previously been accepted
bv if as the official Interpreter of the terms
of that agreement. In addition, the
EMPLOYERS Association refused to meet
the chief executive of this city when he
personally sought TO mediate in an en-
deavor to prevent disastrous trade war
And then it precipitated the war by de-
claring a lockout affecting the employees
of all its shops.
If this appeal to brute force IS to
prevail, this doctrine of the scrap OF
paper" to prove victorious, dog eat dog
must become the rule in all industrial
disputes. Enmity between employer and
worker growing more bitter year by year
must be expected. Class hatred will breed
its insidious dangers in the community.
IF by their violation of their peace agree
ment the employers win this fight, they
must expect not one but many renewals
of it. in which their employees will not be
the ones to appeal for a settlement ac-
cording to reason and the principles OF
social and industrial justice.
Such a return to conditions long out
grown is unthinkable. The employers, led
bv a few hot-tempered ill-balanced men
were stampeded into taking this utterly
indefensible position. Many Of them, it is
no secret. now regret their choice of force
instead Of reason to settle the dispute
Despite their reputation Of the peace
treaty. despite their refusal to accept the
decision of the Council of Cancellation
despite their affront to Mayor Mitchell, 1t is
not vet too late for them to correct then
mistake.
The union is willing to resume arbitra-
ton of the disputed points before the
Council of Cancellation or a similar body
of fair-minded, representative citizens
The union has never wanted its grievances
adjusted by any other method. At any
time the employers. abandoning then
appeal to brute force which the public sc
Justly condemned. seek to meet the union
representatives before such a court there
will be no practical difficulties in the way.
For the sake Of the strikers and theii
suffering families for the sake of the
public's good will, which is not valueless
for the sake of decency and justice, the
employers should stop their bull-headec
fighting and arbitrate. Even at the risk OF
another rebuff, Mayor Mitchell should agar
call on them to listen to reason.

A Methodist bishop was spend
ing few days with an old friend
in Virginia. The bishop was an
early riser, and was very much
gratified on the first morning of
his arrival to hear someone sing
ing Nearer My God to Thee.
Upon investigating, he found
it was the colored nanny who
was getting breakfast ready.
The bishop sauntered up to the
open doorway of the summer
kitchen, and looking in said
kindly:
Good morning. am much
pleased to hear you singing
hymns so early in the morning.
Have you experienced religion7"
'Ligion nothin'," replied the
cook. "Ah always sings da-
hymn when ah boils aigs-two
verses fo' soft, and three fo'

he had heard of the great search

slipped his hand into hers.
Mamma" he said, lis it true
that in some places the little

Don't Feed Much New Hay

New hay and hot weather
will help to end the life of many
a horse and not few mules
during the next two months.
It new hay must be used for the
hard working animals, bv all
means limit the quantity. The
animals like the new hay and
eat ii in large quantities if allow
ed all they will take. The result
is that they are much more easi-
ly over-heated, if they don't ac-
tually suffer from collie. A small
quantity may do no harm, al
though we would not feed new
hay to hard working animals if
itcould be avolded.-Progressive
