On the Mend

Control of the Senate has long been in
the hands of limited groups of "elder
statesmen" Under the seniority rule the
Senators of longest service monopolized
the choice places on the major commit
tees They also dominated the confer
ence committees. There was too much
concentration of authority-too much in
equality Of power The average Senator
did not have a fair chance to develop.
The Republican Senate caucus has
sought to equalize things by providing
that no Senator hereafter shall be a
member Of more than two major COM
mittees. Nor shall the chairman of .
major committee serve on conference
committee unless authorized to do so by
the majority members Of the committee
which has charge Of the measure sent to
conference. This arrangement will open
up the conference committees to the
younger Senator'S, who need the educa-
tlonal experience Of sitting on them.
The Senate and the House have both
steadily lost standing with the country
because Of their lack of intelligent and
courageous leadership. They have been
overshadowed by the Executive. They
can regain their prestige by cultivating
broader outlook, selfdependence and
the instinct Of craftsmanship. Cannon
ism was bad for the House of Repre-
sentatives. Seniority has been drag on
the Senate. Both houses would be wise
to loosen the brakes on ambition and in
dependence. Only an ambitious and in
dependent Congress can hope to win back
the power and public confidence which
the Congresses of twenty or thirty years
ago en- loved

years we have beheld men and groups of
men serving Germany in point of fact,
yet saying their motive was to serve, or
at least not to injure, the United States.
Have they been dupes or hypocrites?
When their lips have parroted the
words of Berlin have they been CON
scious on unconscious tools?
Common sense seems to require an ac
ceptance of the hypocrite hypothesis.
The trouble has been more in badness of
heart than in weakness of intellect. Self
deception has seldom victimized the
workers for Germany. Whether eXcusing
the Lusitania slaughter or playing the
part of sea lawyers or calling for q
negotiated peace or stimulating distrust
of our war associates, the promoters of
the various phases of German propa-
ganda for the most part have known eX-
actly what they were doing.

Hypocrites, Not Dupes

In the testimony of Victorica. the Ger
man propaganda agent, the witness said,
when arrangements were afoot for the
dispatch of a messenger to the German
Consul at Amsterdam, that OLeary re-
peatedly stipulated "the message should
contain nothing against the United
States"
Assuming the testimony is true, was
OLeary honest in thinking such CORE
spondence could be so dcnatured as to
lose the elements Of disloyalty? Did he
genuinely believe he could touch German
pitch and not be defiled? Or was he
merely fixing up an albi for use should
ne be caught? Was. he fool who did not
know the nature and quality of his act?
Did he regard az valid the discrimination
he pretended TO draw?
Similar intcrrogatorics are pertinent
with respect to persons more important
than O'Leary. For four and onc-half

The Universal Lincoln

The best textbook of Americanism IS
Abraham Lincoln. He represents our
nationalsm even more than does the
flag. He is our ideals corporealized,
vivitied, applied. He is puritan, cav
aher, shrewd bourgeois, free and easy
Westerner, poor white trash, sponta-
neous democrat
On this anniversary of his birth in a
mud-stopped Kentucky cabin better
than a discourse on the problems of the
day is study of his career and char
acter. Read Lincoln and about Lincoln,
form contact with his spirit, saturate
yourself with lore of him; you will arise
a better man and citizen. He is an an
tidote to political distempers. He con-
flutes the mixture Of charlatantry and
superfciality which afflicts the times.
Oh, soapboXer, form acquaintance
with the great American before again
mounting your rostrum! Oh, super
soapboxer, you of mincing mentality,
who rock parlors with the fury of your
radicallsm, learn something of a great
radical, the "black Republican, radical of
Civil War days. One can see Lincoln's
slow, quizzical smile, born of common
sense that always held the reins and of
humor that never was defeated, as he
listens to all-sufficient, self-sufficient and
insufficient young men.
Lincoln mastered the alphabet beside

or slate than bit of shingle. Instead
or whining against lack of opportunity,
he saw opportunity on every side beck
onlng to him. He was too busy growing
to have time for envy and peevish dis
content; was too sane and brave to in
dict society with that formula of self
confessed weakness, owe had no
chance" Much had been withheld from
him, but he rejoiced over what had been
granted. Climbing tenement stairs in
New York to-day are boys and girls
animated with his serene and uncon-
scious faith that within is an empire,
broad, virgin and unexploited, and that
to develop this is the best service to the
world and ones self. Lincoln, differing
from the Kaiser, never hailed God as On
his slde-was too occupied, he said, in
trying to make sure he was on Gods
side
He walked with greatness when alive.
Even more now, though more than fifty
years have passed since states and cities
were his pallbearers, he walks with
greatness. Mankind has filed a lien on
him as part of the common heritage of
the race, and the bigger the soul the
surer it is to react to his spell And to
the humble and the backward every
where he carries message of hope and
inspiration, thus contributing to that
noblest of objectives - namely, the
building of men.

Russia Their Hor-
nble Example
Germans Profit By the Mistakes of
the Bolsheviki
By Elias Tobenkin


Foreign Nelcs Service.
N ERNE, Jan. 2l (By maiD D.-Russia's
II chaos seemingly is proving the great
est stimulus to orderly government
in Germany 1t is the mistakes and excess
es of the Russian revolution that now
teaching the German Socialists moderation
and are chartng the course of the revolu-
tonary government at Berlin The policy of
that government seems to be to Russia
as an example, not only before the people
but in its own conduct of affairs. Whatever
was done in Petrograd must. not be done in
Berlin seems to be the motto of the Ebert
regime.
The Russians ushered in their revolu-
ton with a delirium of celebrations; the
Germans are asked by their revolutionary
government not to indulge in holidays, for
holidays curtail production. The Russian
revolution was ushered in with strikes; the
German Socialist leaders warn the prole-
tariat that strikes at this time, even when
justified by conditons are nevertheless un-
desirable, the country needs the maxi
mum of production to get back to normal
conditions. The Russian revolution has at
tracted great masses of workmen to the
cities. In Germany the city proletariat is
earnestly requested by the Socialist gov
ernment to scatter much AS possible in
the provinces and find work there. Only by
work and ever increased production in every
field of industry can the new government
be successful and the revolutionary achieve
ments be made permanent, the workers are
told and the workers of Germany trained
in discipline obey.
An appeal to the German workmen to
scatter through the provinces as much as
possible, signed by the heads Of the gov
ernment-Ebert, Scheidemann, Dittman,
Landsberg and Barth-is the chief feature
in the Socialist papers of Germany that
have just reached here. 1t is entitled "An
Appeal to the German Workmen from the
German Government" and says in part:
"The war has made US poor, the defeat
poorer. Our soil is neglected and drained,
our cattle have been slaughtered, our means
of communication have been reduced, the
productive means of the country partly
ruined. Workmen, in your hands.
and your hands only, lies the possibility of
averting a great catastrophe. You must
bring to life again our shattered economic
institutions workingmen must to
it that we are spared hunger, civil war and
all that comes in their train. You must
work, Socialism demands that you work
Socialism can only exist a foundation of
work. He who goes on celebrating when he
might have been working is making himself
and others poorer. He is SHINING against
his people and its socialist future.
wv orkingmcn, do not remain in the big
cities. where industry cannot take care of
you all, because there is not enough coal
and raw materials. Go to the country, scat

Mr.. Wilson S Gifts

To the Editor of The Tribnue
Sir: We have read a great deal about
the wonderful and interesting gifts that
have been bestowed upon President Wilson
and his party since they arrived in Europe
and many are asking what is TO be done
with them.
AS President Wilson has frequently
stated, they were bestowed upon the re
cipients as the representatives OF the Unlte'
States, and not as personal gifts.
There is no doubt whatever on that port
and the evidence of the good will Of tf
Allied countries as expressed through tnes
gifts is most gratifying to all the America
people who are eagerly awaiting an oppo'
tunity to see and enjoy them as such
Where Will they be placed that may
may enjoy that privilege? Probably II
Washington or New York.
Cannot one of the museums devote
room to such purpose? 1t would seems0'
Perhaps before being permanently piaea
it might be thought well to exhibit ITEM
in some suitable hall, an admission lee Dc
ing charged which would undoubtedly os
gladly paid if the public were assured hS'
the proceeds would be used toward the Sa'
expenses of the countries that bestoweden'
gifts; and that some special phianthrpa'
work of the cities in which the poor pep'
subscribed for gift, through which ~.
rihce they hoped to show their grati'o'
to the United States might thus be greasy
benefited.

relations aUith England.
The question what was his influence upon
foreign policy is more difficult than the gen
eral praise bestowed upon it might lead US
to expect because, though he is known to
have exercised constant supervision
Seward that influence was concealed from
the diplomatic world
For at least the first eighteen months of
the war, apart from the lesser points of
quarrel, real danger of foreign interven-
tion hung over the North. The danger was
increased by the ambitions of Napoleon
III in regard to Mexico, and by the loss
and suffering caused to England, above all,
not merely from the interruption of trade
but from the suspension Of cotton supplies
by the blockade. From the first there was
the fear that foreign powers would recog
nze the Southern Confederacy as an indie
pendent country; that they were then
likely to offer mediation, which it would
at the best have been embarrassing for
the President to reject; that they might
ultimately, when their mediation had been
rejected, be tempted to active Intervention.
The Emperor Of the French, though
not the French people, inclined throughout
to this policy, but he would not act apart
from England; and the English government
though Americans did not know it, had de-
termncd, and for the present was quite
resolute, against any hasty action. Never
theless, an almost accidental cause very
soon brought England and the North with
in sight of a war to which neither people
was in appearance averse.
Neither the foreign policy of Lincoln's
government nor, indeed the relations of
England and America from his day to our
own can be understood without some
study of the attitude of the two countries
to each other during the war If we could
put aside any previous Judgment on the
cause as between the North and the South
there are still some marked features in
the attitude of England during the war
which every Englishman must now regret
1t should emphatically be added that there
some upon which every Englishman
should look back with satisfaction. Many
Of the expressions of English opinion at
that time betray a powerlessness to COM
prehend another country and a self-sutfi-
cheney in judging it which it may humbly
be claimed were not always, and are not

~ three months to get helpers who were
either college graduates or technically
trained. I should like to say a word IN
favor of suggestion which appeared in
The Tribune suggesting scholarships as
Roosevelt memorials.
For some centuries the business world
has paid the price the public should pay for
training its workers, many OF whom are
thrown on the scrap heap after ten or
twenty years of untiring effort, poor con-
ditions and more or less unsatisfactory
work.
There is no bette way to usher in the
reconstruction period than by standing
firmly for education, and therefore for het
ter work
To educate our boys and girls in the name
of Theodore Roosevelt would mean to build
into both mind and character the ideals of
our great America. To offer this training
to the workers who are now seeking
employment would be our deepest form of
gratitude. l should like to quote a few
words from recent poem by Sulamith Ish-
Kjshor:

An Ength of the Great diplomacy
present day affairs
By Lord Charnwood

now, so characteristic of Englishmen as
they we're in that period of our history,
in many ways so noble, which we associave
with the rival influences of Palmerston and
Golden. .
But for our immediate purpose the OBJ
ject of thus reviewing a subject on which
American historians have lavished much re-
search is to explain the effect produced
in America by demonstrations of strong
antipathy and sympathy in England. The
effect in some ways has been long lasting.
The South caught at every mark of sym
pathy with avdity, was led by it's poll
ticians to expect help, received none, and
became resentful. 1t is surprising to be
told, but may be true, that the embers of
this resentment became dangerous to Eng
land in the autumn of 1914. In the North
the memory of an antipathy which was
almost instantly perceived has burned deep,
many memories-for instance, those re-
Gently published by Senator Lodge-show,
into the minds of precisely those Amer
leans to whom Englishmen have ever been
the readiest to accord their esteem. .
There came evidence, as it seemed
tlon on the part of the British government.
1t issued proclamation enjoining neutral
jty on the part of British subjects. This
matter of course on the outbreak of
what was nothing less than war; but North
erners thought that at least some cour-
teous explanation should first have been
made to their government, and there were
other matters which they msnterpreted as
signs of an agreement Of England with the
Confederate government Thus alike in the
most prejudiced and in the most enlight-
ened quarters in the North there arose an
irritation which an Englishman must see to
have been natural but can hardly think to
have been warranted by the real facts
Here came in the one clearly known and
most certainly happy intervention of Lin
coins in foreign affairs. Early in May Sew
ard brought to him the draft of a vehe-
ment dispatch, telling the British govern
ment peremptorily what the United States
would not stand, and framed in a manner
which must have frustrated any attempt by
Adams in London to establish good rela-
tions with Lord John Russell That draft
now exists with the alterations in Lincoln's
own hand. With a few touches some of
them very minute, made with the skill of a
master Of language and of a lifelong peace
maker, he changed the draft into a firm but
entirely courteous dispatch. In particular,
instead of requiring Adams, as Seward
would have done, to read the whole dispatch
to Russell and leave with him copy of it,,
he left it to the man the spot to convey
its sense in what manner he judged best.
Probably, as has been claimed for him, his
few penstrokes made peaceful relations easy
when Stewards dispatch would have made
them almost impossible; certainly a study
of this document will prove both his
strange, untutored diplomatic skill and the
general soundness of his view of foreign
affairs.
