Tammany's Gary Issue Collapsing

II there ever was an artifcially inflated
political issue, manufactured out Of pure
bunk, it Is tho Gary school issue in the
present campaign. Tammany craft has
played upon ignorance. illiteracy and
prejudice to produce riots and strikes.
Boy Bolsheviki have obligingly detained
from soap boxes, agitators have organized
parents" Judge Hylan has talked more
utter rubbish on the subject than even his
high ability for nonsense could have led
one to expect.
The turn has como. The visit OF the
ten prominent union labor men to Gary
School as, in The Bronx, will go far to
puncture the idiotic scarecrow that Tam
many manipulators have erected. These
investigators found no trace Of Rockefel-
Ter or the Steel Trust, nor anything to
indicate an effort to make workingmen.
They found happy and interested pupils
tackling the "three RS" with new avidity.
They found contented and enthusiastic
teachers.
What has Mr.. Hylan to say to this
common-sense, fair-minded frst-hand re-
port upon the horrible bugaboo which he
has been portraying?

ment also may with propriety, at least IN
n time of stress. interfere with the produc-
ton of immateriaI goods and services. In
short, interference with business enterprises
inevitably points to the propriety OF inter
fering with speaking and writing II busi-
ness producing whiskey, food or fuel may
be repressed, Investigated or regulated, may
not also social welfare demand repression,
investigation or regulation Of the lecturer
and the writer Of pamphlets and the editor
Of periodicals?
Wisely or unwisely, our authorities have
attempted TO prevent the dissemination OF
knowledge in regard to birth control--in the
interests supposedly Of the public welfare
Surely then, in a time of national crisis
men who stir up dissension, who try con-
seiously or unwittingly to weaken the ma
ton, may be suppressed under the police
power of the state. Doubtless the dangers
in such q course are many, but the danger
of abstention from such steps may also be
not negligible. May not, however, the same
assertion be made in regard TO interference
with private business enterprises!
An Analogy Of Trusts
Il 10 worthy Of notice that many OF the
men and women who are to-day so ardentiy
advocating policy Of no interference with
those who are bitterly attacking the war
policy Of our government are individuals
who have been somewhat prominent IN the
agitation for the regulation Of trusts and
monopolies. Scott Nearing, for example, has
not been averse to the investigation and
regulation Of big business; but he now
strenuously objects to the investigation aho
regulation of his business, which is that oil
teaching and agtating. Of course, Nearing
is not in business in the ordinary sense OF
the word; he is, however, in the business
of talking and writing for public consump-
ton. But may not certain forms OF teach
ing and agitating be as inimical to the pub
lie welfare as are some forms OF business
endeavor or certain forms Of wasteful ex-
penditure1 The difficulties In both cases are
not dissimilar. Who shall be the judge
And what criterion shall be used to deter
mine public welfare or illfare? In essence
Is the problem much more difficult in the
case Of expression Of opinion than In the
case of the output Of the necessities OF
life?

Tammany's Pogrom
The Newest Type Of Civic Debauchery

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: During the past week voters have hsd

school children, and attempting to d.h.uch

that Tammany, having run out Of the old
tough material, sees an excellent opportunity
of recruiting and rearing its old type Of
henchmen from the tender and impression

parents are among our best immigrant cia-
zens.

were dissatisfied with some local restric-

city has learned that not single high

Il was bad enough to approach the older

Bnrelling Again

In his defence Of the present method
Of governing Ireland, the Chief Secretary
revealed, with manifest complacency, the
probable source Of nine-tenths Of the mis-
chief that has arisen and been allowed to
spread since the Sim Fem rising Of last
year.
His purpose was evidently to invite SYM
patty in respect Of the extraordinary per-
plexity Of the administration, especially
at this time, when Irishmen in convention
have undertaken TO find settlement: for
he spoke Of conflict Of opinion, and
described 1.-TWO currents Of feeling: one
in favor Of passivity In the face Of action
of the most illegal and dangerous kind;
the other which believes that unless free
dom from disturbance is maintained the
convention must be defeated"
Now, It is abundantly evident that what
Mr.. Duke and his associates have en-
deavored to do Is to please both parties
and to work out system Of government,
if system It can be called, alternating
between extreme severity and indulgence
running at times to incredible laxity. A
striking example Of this topsy-turvy pol
icy was commented upon recently when
the General Prisons Board was author
lied to introduce special rules for dealing
with Irishmen convicted under the De-
fence Of the Realm Regulations. Thomas
Ashe had been sent 10 prison under the
old law and died there, In consequence, as
1t Is supposed, Of fasting by way Of pro-
test. The decision Of the Privy Council
was reached Immediately after his death,
and his name was, Of course, added to the
roll of Irish martyrs.
This is only one example Of many show
ing the same kind Of vacilation and lack
Of decision in the executive. A no less
striking example was seen at Ashes fu-
neral Some time ago an order was pub
lished throughout the country forbidding
irregular drilling, the wearing Of mock
military uniforms and the carrying Of
arms; but when Ashes body was carried
70 Glasnevin the order was openly defed,
large body of men followed in the
forbidden green uniforms, while all the
regular troops in Dublin were confined
10 barracks, and a salute was fired by the
Irish Volunteers over the grave. 1t is
true that the ceremony, which Is described

The United States has entered the war to
make the world safe for democracy ana
il should also be our aim to keep American
democracy safe. But to maks America safe
for democracy should not be interpreted TO
mean anarchy or extreme individuaism'
Democracy means regulation; 1t means lio-
erty under law, not license It should not be
forgotten that rights" do not spring up
OF their own volition: rights are granted by
society to the individual. There Is no abb
stract natural right
From the dawn Of history TO the present
day 1t is recorded that In a time Of war
the freedom OF the individual must suffer
unusual Entertainments In the interest OF
the group or national good. Military neces-
sity expands the police power Of the state
to extraordinary lengths. Danger to the
group or the nation pushes domestic diner
ences into the background; a united front
Is a prime essential. and woe betide those
who insist upon the right to air internal
dissensions In the hour of the nations peril.
In recent days many complaints have been
made by sbort-sighted enthusiasts for the
rights" Of individuals, because the govern
ment is interfering with the freedom OF
speech and press" It is we'll to point out
that this is no unique matter. In the United
States for years the movement toward regu-
lation and the control Of individuals In the
interest Of the social good has been gaining
ground. It Is true that regulation has been
directed chiefly toward business activities.
But let us briefly look at some Of the broader
implications Of the theory Of controlling the
activities Of the individual in the interests
Of society.
Why Not Regulate Speech
If society through governmental authori-
ties ought In a time Of peace to interfere
with business enterprises, inspect their
books, require reports. determine whether
children may be employed and fix tho hours
Of labor. II certain business enterprises may
be prohibited, II, still further, under the
pressure of war, the expenditures OF indi-
viduals may be subjected to more or less
rigid regulation, and Il the prices OF GER
tain necessities may be fixed, II does not
seem illogical to assert that the govern

ed by Mr.. Derrick drew a picture OF
the horrible conditions OF warfare in
Europe now and contrasted it with
the hope of the future, as "out from
the darkness of the conflict energes
the possibility CT international har-
mony." He discussed the essentials
for a lasting world peace, maintaining
that the rights of small nations must
be respected, freedom Of the seas
maintained and that there must be
no increase in the land or sea arma-
ment OF any nation. All agreements
for a permanent peace must be found
ed on the principle Of public right
declared the speaker He denied that
the plan is impracticable or that 1t
involves the United States in entans-
ling alliances.
In solving its problems each ma
ton must be assisted by the past, said
W. e. Bowen, the Furman speaker.
The eyes of the world are upon Amer
lea and this country is the worlds
hope in the trial. Americas message
is democracy in industry, democracy
in politics, democracy in religion,
justice and peace. Nations will even

serve peace and not until then will
wars cease.

WHY PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS ARE ENTITLED
TO Fab PAY

The average prosperous citizen
never objects to paying his lawyer Il
good fat fee for keping him out OF d
lawsuit or winning lawsuit for him
He willingly pays his doctor large
sums for telling him not to eat too
much or take more exercise. The
lawyer and the doctor have been
trained for their work. They are en-
titled to what they get for their SER
vices.
But this same average prosperous
citizen general views with wild alarm
anv proposal to raise the pay Of the
woman who teaches his child, or ~
pension her when she has worn her
life out at her work.
By and by, when the child grows
up he will spend large sums o. mon
ey on him. For his child Is his most
valuable possession. And to make
him successful the right sort of d
parent will spare nothing.
The most important years OF a
child's life are those which are guid-
ed and directed by the teacher.
Whether he becomes successful or
not depends to a very great extent
on the work of the tea cher. On the
future of the children of the country
depends, of course, the future Of the
country. If the children are well
trained, taught how to get the know
ledge they need, given the right kind
of habits of working and thinking,
the future of the country will be safe
If the children are badly taught, per-
mitted to be careless and slovenly III
their habits of work and thought, the
future of the country will be in grave
peril.
Nothing can be more important
than the teachers work. Nothing can
mean so much to the country.
Everybody is fully aware Of this,
yet few people seem willing that
teachers should receive the pay that
their work is worth.
When there is proposal to raise
the pay of teachers, howl goes up
from one end of the community to the
other.
Some teachers in the public schools
get less pay then the janitors of the
same schools. Few Of them are as
we'll paid as the skilled mechanics
who are building the schools, while
the teachers are building character,
the structure that is more valuable to
a city than skyscrapers, bridges, sub
ways or public buildings.
Every effort to give teachers ade-
quate pay deserves the support OF
every parent as well as of every 9TH
er citizen.-Atlanta Georgian.
