1t is only the logical and necessary
step that Yale has taken in opening her
law school to women, but it is easy to
conceive the opposition which had to be
overcome. There is something about
law faculty which makes it peculiarly
impervious to progress. Medical schools,
countless other graduate schools, capt.
ulate without a struggle. The law
school dies in the last ditch. Witness
the Columbia Law School, still holy of
holies which no petticoat has ever in
vaded. The war has broken through any
number of masculine trench systems de-
signed to hold off the onslaughts of wom-
an. A few law schools are all that re-
main We salute Yale for it's open-mnd-
edness. We suggest that the Columbia
Law School be ever preserved as the last
splendid relic of an antediluvian preju-
dice and to assure us, in slack hours
henceforth, that in truth "the world do
move"

BACK HOME STUFF!
Cass Cooper

Cass Cooper was the son of Professor
Irving Cooper, of the High School. He
never mingled with the other boys. He
used to build shacks out of tin cans down
by the ice piers He chewed tobacco. On
Sunday evenings he would go to church
with Mrs. Cooper and always fall asleep
In the late summer evenings folks out
riding used to see him on the Cooper's
mare driving the cows in from Hen
shaw's pasture. That was about the only
work he ever did, except little hoeing in
the garden now and then.
Professor Cooper was called to q better
position at Bowling Green and Cass Cooper
hung around town, living mostly with Baz
Cliff down on the coal float.
People used to see him rowing across
the river and they said he had cave over
in Alum Rock where he would stay for
three four days at time. Mrs. Cooper
came back home to see him once or twice
and they went to the opera house together,
and Cass would always have a new suit
after she left.
Cass was never in any trouble. He never
took q drink and his only bad habit was
chewing tobacco. There we're only about
half, dozen people in town to whom he
would talk Nobody ever saw him with a
girl. Professor Cooper went up in Alaska
with his wife during the Klondike excite
ment. Some of the people back home
heard he struck it rich. But Cass never
said anything about it.
Cass died of lingering disease and was
buried by the county. DOM.

One Rosner Overlooked

"How many degrees of frost were
there?" the ex-Kaiser asked rustic on
arriving at the Dutch frontier.
If Karl Rosner were still Boswelling,
what an opportunity was there afforded
him! What an opportunity the onetime
royal press agent overlooked, not only
to call attention to the eruditon of his
master, but also to the aptness of his
allusion! The Germans have long frank
ly admitted that only they could appreci-
ate and understand Shakespeare. How
easy for Rosner to have demonstrated
that the ex-Kaiser, as shown by his
seemingly commonplace remark to the
dramatic moment in his career revolv-
ing in his mind the famous soliloquy Of
the fallen Wolsey:
Farewell, a long farewell, to all my great
ness!
This is the state of man To-day he puts
forth
The tender leaves Of hope; tomorrow
blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon
him;
The third day comes FROST killing
frost;
And-when he thinks, good easy man, full
surely
His greatness is a-ripening-n his root,
And then he falls, as l do.
How easy would it have been for Ros-
ner (press agents have been suspected
of having gone to such lengths) to have
faxed trife and by paraphrasing the
great Cardinal by only one single little
word have made the last of the Hohen-
zollerns say:
Rosner. l charge thee fling away ambi-
ton;
BY that sin fell the angels, and how can
man then,
The image of his Maker, hope to win
by It?
But, alas! biographers who hang on
princes favors may find the plucking
of simple violet worthy Of recording
for the eyes of posterity to read, but
may miss the really big moment simply
because the spotlight has been turned off.

1t is rumored that Bernard M. Baruch,
chairman of the War Industries Board,
will be asked to assist at the peace con-
ference, not perhaps as a delegate or
plenipotentiary, but in the capacity of
economic adviser. Obviously, some one
is needed to deal in large, intuitive
manner with the practical questions of
barter and sale among nations that are
bound to arise. Obviously, also, the
logical man for that task is the one who
brought order out of chaos and wonder
fully succeeded in bending the industrial
processes of this country to war.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-23
Abstract Policies

1t is utterly impossible in view OF the
immense rapidty of the change in modern
war conditions to formulate abstract poll
cies about such matters as contraband and
bockades. These policies must be act
ually tested in order to see how they
work. Both England and the United States
have reversed themselves in this matter
on several different occasions. This is in
teresting as a matter of history, but from
and intelligent we will follow the course
in this matter which under existing condi-
tions at this time seems most likely to
work justice in the immediate future.
Germany's position was that England
had no right to blockade her so as to cut
off her supplies from the outside world
President Wilson at the time accepted that
view and talked good deal about the
freedom of the seas. Meanwhile Germany
through her submarines, began an unprec-
edcnted course of wholesale murder on
the seas.
President Wilson protested against this
i'll language much more apologetc and
tender than he had used in protesting
against Great Britan's blockading Ger
many in what was essentially the same
manner in which we bockaded the South
during the Civil War. He put the dollar
above the man, and incidentally above the
women and the children. He protested
more vigorously upon the interference with
American goods than against the taking Of
American lives.

A Call for Help
To the Editor of The Tribune,

i o Ine CQlJOr OIL Inc IflDune.
Sir: l am writing to make an appeal for
the Music School Settlement for Colored
People, at A and West 131st Street. New
York City. This settlement was founded
by David Names in 1918. 1t is an incorpo-
rated institution, under the Regents of the
University of the State Of New York Dur
ing the years of its existence the fees from
eager colored music students have paid over
half of it's expenses, The other part has
been raised by concerts and donations. Like
all of the smaller and local charities, we
have lost most of our donations during the
war; but have managed to struggle on.
Some of the great artists of the world have
visited and performed at the settlement for
it's constituency, and in turn we have
helped win the war through our music, as
interpreted by our director, J. Rosamoad
johnson, and others. We have also given
part of the space in our building to canteen
service for soldiers.
Felix Adler calls this settlement zone of
the most important steps ever taken in the
education of the negro"
Percy Granger has said: "Some of the
deepest and most unforgettable musical
'iea'o e"a' h"Ve aS Wv experienced III
this country have fallen to my lot at the
Music School Settlement for Colored Peo-
pie"
We face to-day a crisis in our work We
need $4,000 Immediately to finish the year
out of debt. Are there not those among
your readers who will contribute to this
sum? w. E. B. DU BOIS,
Chairman Board of Directors.

The country will unanimously regret
the retirement of William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury and
great dynamic force, whost impact upon
circumstances has worked generally and
sometimes remarkably for good. The
country is more indebted to him than it
knows. Before people had crystallized
emotonally on the war, and while yet
many wavered in twilight zone between
physical force and moral suasion, his
was the voice that never faltered, his
the vision that could not be DETECTED.
His going is catastrophe for the Wilson
Administration.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-23
The Red Symbol

When it is left to the police to exercise
power of censorship over public meet
ings and to suppress the red flag absurd
and disagreeable things will happen.
Private persons have right to be Social
lists. Being Socialists they have a right
to hold political meetings. 1t is, we be-
Geve, not unlawful to display red flag;
it is forbidden, not by statute, but by
the overwhelming sentiment of the COM
munity. The police clearly have not the
right to hold up and search peaceable
citizens on their way into public hall on
suspicion that they have red flags con-
cealed about them. The demagogue is
thereby provided with text, and great
many people who have nothing to do
with socialism nevertheless resent police
activities of this oppressive character.
But there remains to be considered the
inner significance of this and similar in
cidents. We shall do we'll to consider
them carefully, for they seem likely in
the near future to multiply.
The red flag is a symbol of revolt-re-
ners of society at given moment of evo-
luton, but against all forms of human
restraint. 1t is, therefore, symbol Of
both immortality and political chaos. In
this country it is, besides, symbol of
disaffection, disunity, disloyalty and pro-
Germanism. Therefore it is particularly
hateful, for we have paid a very high
price for working unity, and we know
what it is worth. We know also what
it would have meant to have been unable
to attain it.
We have learned that one cannot be
loyal to two countries.
We have learned that one cannot bear
allegiance to two flags.
We knew these things always, but we
have had to learn them again. And yet
here are the Bolshevists among US,
masquerading as radical socialists, who
have the impudence, the indecency, to in
sist upon displaying the red flag When
the police have interfered they shrilly
protest, saying that you might as we'll
protest against their wearing red neck
ties. The reply is that if the red flag
were worn as necktie for the same rea-
son it would mean the same thing.
1t is a challenge.
1t is a new symbol for an archaic
thing, namely, for human unrestraint.
Wherever it is displayed, whether ir
this country or in Germany or Russia
the idea is that it shall ultimately dis
place the symbols Of nationalism, gov
eminent and social discipline.
Wherever it succeeds in doing this i
becomes at once the symbol Of despotism
The red flag and the Stars and Stripe:
are fundamentally antagonistic in mean
ing. They cannot live together The rec
flag in this aspect becomes an affront ant
a provocation, and those who faunt i
have no rights of martyrdom.

Since each man will receive only
one coupon, Only one package can
be sent. This should be clearly
