All Praise to the Colonel

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Ten thousand cheers for the honorable
ard most fearless Theodore Roosevelt, who
had the supreme courage to stand up in Car
negie Hall before large audience and TO
tell the American people few truths about
their boasted so-called civilization" "hu-
manity," "justice" and all the other bunk"
Every colored person in America to-day feels
profoundly grateful TO him for uttering the
things which no other person high in Off
oial or other life had the courage TO state.
If there were in America more like him
holding governors, mayors, sheriffs' and po-
lice chiefs Offices, there wouldn't be 80 many
lawless acts done the American negroes and
no one punished for them. All praise and
honor to the noble T. R., who said: Jus
tice with me is not a mere word, it is to be
translated into living acts"

AT the Corner Grocery
A Parable for Outlaws, Their Aids
and Victims

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir farmer lived near the premises Of
on outlaw who had so outraged public de-
cency that the tradesmen of the outlying
towns would not sell him merchandise. A,
by reason OF both fear and a desire to turn
penny, furnished the outlaw with the nee
essaries Of life. The tradesmen knew that A
was buying more than his needs required
and discovered that he was furnishing the
outlaw with merchandise. They reasoned
with him, but he continued his traffic. not
withstanding that the outlaw stole his sheep
and cattle. The decent people finally said:
ave have furnished you with two barrels Of
-four and fifty pounds of coffee during the
last three months. and in past years you
purchased only one barrel of -four and twen-
ty-fve pounds Of coffee in six months; this
is suspicious; what have you done with it?'
A said: az swear l do not sell -four or cof-
fee TO the outlaw"
SO they set watch upon A and discovered
that A had not sold flour or coffee, but had
sold cornmeal and milk and eggs and but
ter to the outlaw, and consequently had re-
auired more -four and coffee for his own
household A believed that his statement
would be accepted, and that the decent peo-
pie would not discover that he had support
ed the outlaw from the products Of his farm,
and for his own maintenance had purchased
from the decent people the required excess
Of other merchandise. Then the decent peo-
pie said, "Since this has been your course
Of conduct. and since this outlaw is n men,
ace to the community, We will not sell you
anything" And A began to whine and wall
and came to the decent tradesmen dressed up
IT, frock coat and n silk hat, and with a
typcwritten petition drawn up by a clever
lawyer. and tried to prove that he had not
violated the code Of ethical conduct because

to champion the ideas and the ideals which
we have accepted for Ourselves because we
believe in them.
The Tribune has steadily asserted that
il was the duty of America to maintain her
principles against the German assault. 1t
welcomed the entrance Of the United
States into the war because it believed
that only by the defeat OF Germany could
American principles be preserved. 1t be-
lieves that the American people will sup
port the war precisely as long and in the
same measure as they perceive this. But 1t
believes that unless the government by
word and by deed keeps this before the
American people the results may be ex-
ceedingy grave. Above all else, it is hard
to imagine anything more likely to produce
a change in national sentiment than the
feeling that the government had sacrificed
lts own ana Aiheiic lued" anu Oe00i''0 q
blind follower of Allied decisions without
regard to their nature. Most of this dan
ger would be avoided if only there were
sought and discovered a common ground
of action with Russia.
The return of Russia to the battle line
is a great fact; it is easy to believe that it
may be landmark in the history Of the
war. But to believe that it means that the
Russians have abandoned their principles,
that they have discarded their newly real
lied dreams, is to mistake the fact utterly.
We in the United States ought to under
stand this fact and act upon it. If we
fail to do so, Russia may yet be lost to the
Allied cause, with consequences that no
man can measure.

Wipers Tower

CE. D. T" ~ The Manchester GUARDIAN
Before the River Rother spread silt and
mud round Rye and when that town was a
fourishing seaport, the most frequent visi-
tors on its quays were merchants from Ypres,
which was then a great manufacturing city
of perhaps 100000 inhabitants. There still
stands at the southeast corner of the RAM
parts fine, SQUAT red-brick, tower gate
through which the traffic Of the port ebbed
and flowed The guide books call il "Ypres
Tower" for such was the name the denizens
gave it, after those merchants from overseas
whom they knew best But since times out
Of the memory OF the oldest, and long be-
fore Mr.. Henry James took his beautiful house
IN Mermaid Street, il has been spoken Of as
the "Wipers Tower" Perhaps IL was men Of
Sussex and West Kent fehting to hold the
Ypres salient who spread that pronunciation
among their comrades.

Art and Science

(Fror Mefdllur0ic1l and Chemical Er9incerin0)
In the cheerful days when Rembrandt van
Rim arranged, had, and from a reasonable
distance enjoyed, his own funeral and then
watched the prices Of his pictures soar; when
Frans Halls would sober up now and then and
dash off an immortal canvas with thirst driv-
ing him 20 shortcuts that TO this day paint
ers strive after at hard labor; when Jan
Steen would not listen TO the voice OF pro-
priety but chortled with unholy glee when
ever drunken row began-and painted it,
artists went in" for science. They kept
linseed oil for fifty years and more and
were very careful to select and grind and
mix their own colors. They clung TO Renais-
sance traditions, but the traditions were
sound-as witness their canvases TO this
day. Later painters experimental without
the vision of the research mind, and their
canvases show their frequent errors. 1t is
not always wise for the uninformed 70 try
experiments. Then followed the trade of
color making as thing apart from painting,
and the painters lost interest in it. Chemis-
try has come into the paintmakers' trade, but
artists, as a rule, do not know or care about
it. They buy By label and discuss the quail
tiles of permanent green, for instance, with
out knowing what il is made Of. Science is
not welcomed into art any more. Somebody
always fears that it is too material and that
the artists gift Of the vision of beauty will
fade away if he but knows the substance of
the materials he uses.

Put the Clock to Work

The Senate has passed Senator Calder's
daylight saving bill. The House Of Repre-
sentatives is doing nothing in particular
Just now. Why shouldn't it get busy and
send this bill along to the President? Ac-
cording to the Calder draft, daylight saw
ing is to begin next spring. If the House
acts promptly the new schedule could be
put into effect this year. We have two
summer months left and might as well
make the most of the suns generosity.
Setting the clock forward an hour costs
nothing and harms nobody. II accom-
pHshes a result which could never be ac-
complshed by preaching individual early
rising. Men and women are chained to
their habits. They have to circumvent
them in order to get anywhere. We have
more faith in the chronometer than we can
possibly have in our strength of will or
amenability to reason. Everybody will
take the clocks word for it, if the clock in
sists on the advisability Of our making use
of an extra, now wasted, hour of summer
daylight. But, except for this touching
credulity-perhaps a survival of the an
cient heathen's worship Of external SYM
bols-we could never expect unanimity
this side Of the grave on any proposition,
to the average mind so solemn and so por-
tentous, as a readjustment of the worlds
breakfast bell schedule.
One hour of daylight gained will mean
an hours saving to nearly everybody in
the cost of gas and electricity. 1t will save
fuel and power. 1t will save coal. 1t will
send a man to his work in the cool of the
morning and get him home at an hour
enabling him to enjoy the best part of the
summer evening. If war conditions de-
mand more work and longer hours, there
will be more free daylight in which to do
that work. The farmer is an instructive
daylight saver. But the workers in other
industries and the dwellers in towns and
cities have never had the common sense to
follow his example.
There is no good argument against the
Calder bill, and every good argument for
it. Only a stupid inertia obstructs its
passage. War has shaken the countries Of
Europe out of their inertia. 1t will be a
sign that we, too, realize that we are at
war when we make the summer clock an
agency of economy and conservation.

German Papers in English as Well

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Nearly three years ago ! wrote letters
to a number of papers suggesting that the
postal privileges be withdrawn from all
papers published in this country in an alien
language, unless the editorials and other
matter were duplicated in English. Several
papers published it, approvingly. but the
matter received little attention at the time.
Surely anything which tends TO keep alive
racial ideals, and sometimes racial hostility
to our institutions, and which prevents the
amalgamaton of the various races into one
people, with similar hopes and ambitions, is
wrong. Legislation should either tax them
out Of existence or absolutely prohibit their
being given the privilege Of our mails.

TO KEEP VEGETABLES
 AND FRUIT BY DRYING

process of drying fruits and veg etbles is now being employed in this country by which it is claimed, says Popular Mechanics, that the weight of a truckload of mixed vegetables can be reduced to 100 pounds. Treated in this way the food retains it's flavor and fresh taste because it's cellular structure has not been injured by the dessication, it is said, and on being soaked in water it regains much of its former fresh appearance.
 A pound of dried soup vegetables will make soup for sixty persons. Special interest attaches to the process at this time because of the advantages it offers in provisioning troops. The new method involves the use of air heated to a more moderate tempera- ture than is usually employed abroad in such work, and in insuring thor ough circulation of the air, so that it reaches every particle of the fruits or vegetables being treated From two and one half to five hours is re- quired to complete the process.

Bananas, if they are unripe, may be used with advantage as a vegetable. Cut the fruit in halves. stew them for twenty-five minutes in just little water. drain, cover them with cream sauce such as you use for cauliflower and serve them hot The ripe fruit is a delicious garnish to meat. Cut round slices from the ripe, firm bananas, fry them in butter and lay few on the top and around a broiled steak as it goes to table.
