DOES ANYBODY BELIEVE THIS :?
To the Editor Of the Erening Ledger:

To the EduOr OF inc ECeHiHD LtdDef'
Sir-There is one supremely significant
fact concerning the viewpoint of American
journalism in regard to the war in Europe,
which is, that virtually all of these promi-
nent newspapers and magazines of ours
which have been so obviously unfair to
Germany are either completely or partially
under the prejudiced and mercenary infiu-
ence of business houses that are financially
interested in seeing Britain win the war.
1t, therefore. stands to reason that an accu-
rate and unbiased representation of things
both directly and indirectly relating to the
great conflict, especially when pictured from
an editorial or featured article point Of
view, is most assuredly not inclined to ever
come through such morally and economically
suSservient channels OF expression. This
fact has for many months been well recog-
nized by the vast ma ajority of the plain peo-
pie of America, who have quietly but reso-
lutely refused to be toryized by the large
bartered portions and the suave hoodwink-
ing contributors of our local and national
press British securities in American pock-
cts have turned our professed progressives
into revengeful shouters for war upon an
already hard-pressed nation, and British
pronounced reactionares into the noblest
and loftiest spokesmen for oppressed hu-
manity. God save our land from such pro-
gressives and from such spoliesmen If our
Republic is to live and really progress.

Some Americans have been rcgrettihR
that the responsible statesmen IN f'hs,

Does any impartial observer doubt tha'
the European war has come because OF

The primary cause of it all is conflict

OBJECTIONS TO UTOPIANISM

To the Editor Of the EUening Ledger:
Sir-The plaintive cry of Jacob Miller in
this column January II on human brother
hood versus the war is the age-old cry for
peace" "a haven of rest" failing at the
same time to acknowledge that the ultimate
goal is only TO be reached after stress and
struggle.
The ideal we dream of. but the present,
with its conditions no matter how dstaste
full. is here and must be faced and dealt
with. His appeal is lacking in an acknowl-
edgment of the actually of things. In
referring to humanity he says, let's forget
we are Americans. French, etc. The reali-
ties deny the possibility of this. Patriotism,
let us admit If you will, is an egoism, self
Identification with an organization, habit
of loyalty to something, a heritage from
the days of Standardization with and
loyalty to the clan. Hence we instructive
Iy cling to our consciousness of America,
France, Germany, etc Like other egoisms,
it is incurable. AT any rate, the State as a
medium. evolving from the chaotic condi-
tions of the Middle Ages, has been the
medium through which the progress of
civilization has been made. The human
brotherhood of nations is n beautiful ideal
to look forward to devoutly, but not a
! condition to be conferred as a boon from
! the gods merely for the wishing, inasmuch
as the brotherhood of man has nowhere
obtained as yet.
What better way is there to prepare our
self for entrance into the possible family
of nations than to stress the meaning of
patriotism and Americanism, and to in
culcate a sense of nationalism into the
| confused minds of aliens. transplanted from
| autocracy to democracy, who misinterpret
| license for liberty and are conscious of
| rights only and oblivious of the manifold
| obligations?
| Mr. Miller's conception of this war being
| q sort of a Roman arena contest staged
| presumably by the leaders for the enter
| tanment of kings. bespeaks ignorance OF
the true historic knowledge of the multi
| plicity of conditions, social racial, ethical
and commercial which underlie the
| struggle.
This war is a titanic struggle in human

PROFESSORS OF FOOTBALL

UNIVERSITY professors have decided
u that Coach Folwell of the football
team ought to CO. and strangely enough
Provost Smith and other University pro-
fessors will have the final SAY" as to
what person shall or shall not be in
charge of this branch of athletic train
ing.
The question whether Mr.. Folwell's
salary should be raised to $4,000 is for
tunately not at issue. 1t never was a
good argument to say that a football
coach should not get higher salary than
a professor of Greek. For the University
officially sanctions football training,
makes arrangements that permit stu
dents TO postpone class work so that
games may be played, and thus recognizes
physical training on field as well as in
gymnasium as of value supplementary,
il not equal, to other phases of educa-
tional development. BY inference, if not
by name, Mr.. Folwell and his predeces.
sors have been professors Of football
II happens-whether for good or i'll
is not the question-that those who take
the football course" in field or grand
stand very often follow in thought and
precept their athletic professors more
earnestly than their other teachers
| What a splendid chance, then, for pop
| uIar and successful coach, as keen for
| the refinements for cultre and for ethics
| as for football to give added force &c
lessons learned in class! Woodrow viii
son was a football coach and in hi:
speeches has often drawn analogies from
| the game that show he could advan
| tageously combine the two branches o.
| education.
II is said that Coach Folwell wor
games without Using his great oppor
tunity TO build character. He replies b,
pointing TO his record as a coach and al
firming that he has always stood TO
clean living and clean playing. But tn,
| matter is deeper than that. Who doe
i not try to win games and who will sa,
he does not stand for clean living? Th
faculty may easily reply that Mr.. Fol

AIMING AT THE WEAKEST SPOT

d EPUBLICAN opposition to the Demo.
N cratic revenue bills is to be based
upon the charges
First That the Underwood tariff
measure has produced a surplus of i'm
ports from which little revenue has
been derived.
Second. That protective duties would
have prevented a deficit,
Third. That Democratic extrava-
gance has resulted in arbitrary and
oppressive internal taxation
Not even the most ardent supporter
of the Administration can successfully
refute these charges. The Democrats
have failed, and failed miserably, in their
revenue legislation. We must stand the
consequences of their bungling, however
until the Republicans settle their family
auarrels and once more win the con
fidence of the country. In the meantime
those who are dissatisfied with the pres
ent financial regime in Washington are
