Kenyon Cox

By the death of Kenyon Cox the Amer
lean art world suffers great loss, but
there is also heavy loss to American
art education, both on it's academic and
its popular side.
American art creations have been
marked by sobriety, restraint, good taste
and refinement rather than by eagerness
to find something new. in our political
institutions we have been innovators, but
IN art in its various forms we have been
conservative, disposed to be sound rather
than sensational, to follow the time
tested rather than to strain for origi-
nality.
Mr.. Cox was in sympathy with this
national instinct His work was intel
lectual, scholarly, we'll considered, and in
has figures marked by mastery knowl-
edge of the human figure. He naturally
turned to mural decorations, where for
mallty and dignity are Of special value.
The public editices of America owe much
to the decorative movement he contrib
uted greatly to energizing, and the in
fluence of his calm and firm examn]e
rooted IN classical traditions, will be
steady force against running off after
the bizarre and the eccentric.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-19

or nations represented at Paris to some
degree has special views, if not with
respect to principles, with respect to de-
tails and emphasis. The neutral nations
have only this week been asked to name
delegates, and many of them have not
yet acted. To hold up the actual peace
while many complexities are being
lroned out, and then hold it up during
the time that our Senate will consume
IN debate, would seem to be impossible.
Every disturbed nation wishes to get
its soldiers home and to begin to re-
establish normal conditions. To think Of
deferring the peace in any real sense
does not seem feasible. Even though
our own people be willing to do this
other peoples will not be. But here quite
as much as elsewhere is there demand
that the boys shall be allowed to come
home.
Heavy have been the costs of delay.
Heavier will be the costs of additional
delay. The world cannot be expected to
pay toll indefinitely to feed any ones
pride of opinion.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-19
Americanizing the Literate

Sometimes it seems as if the Ameri-
canization movement should be extended
to include literates who regard them
selves as competent to instruct.
In the current number of The Atlantic
Monthly is an article by Herbert Wilton
Stanley, on "Bolshevism: A Liberal
View" Mr.. Stanley, to use this pen
name, may have mastered the mysteries
of Bolshevism, but manifestly he little
understands Americanism.
He finds that the central idea of Bol
shevism is what he calls proletarianism-
the reduction of all elements of the pop
ulation to one class; while American de-
mocracy, he assumes, implies the per-
petulty Of classes. "Proletarianism. !"
ne says, "is the foe of democracy"
Democracy, he asserts, does not believe
in equality.
lhese words dismiss from view the
first of our great state papers which
suDstantlvely begins with the statement
tnat all men are created equal"
They likewise dismiss the watchwords
written on the tricolor flag: "I,ibertv
Fraternity, Equality"
The republic conceived of by our foro-
fathers was classless and proletarian.
Special privileges were not to exist
What remained Of them were gradually
and sometimes painfully uprooted. as
when slavery went. Individual oppor
tunlty and free flow of talent were TO
prevent stratfication. Public schools
were established to secure to the hum
blest chance in competition. 1t was
not possible to have perfect equality for
liberty meant the swiftest were to run
at full speed and that extraordinary
merit should have extraordinary reward
If individual initiative were not to he
throttled and society were to profit bv
the overproducts of genius; but there
was an approximate balance, seen in a
diffusion of prosperity and in a general
"eiibeing OF the masses beyond parallel
The ancient faith still burns BRIGHTLY
a multitude of measures, the present
income tax, for example, plainly seek to
level down plutocratic peaks. We carry
on social policy for which Jefferson
laid the foundation when he listed self
evident truths and declared that to yjndi-
cate them government could and shonld
New-York tribune., 1919-03-19
Call Congress!

Wherever may lodge blame for the
failure of Congress suddenly to enact,
practically without scrutiny, at crack
Of the lash a vast store of held-back
legislation dumped on it during the last
ten days of the session, the message of
Secretary Glass to Paris indicates the
difficulty of getting along with a Con-
gressless government.
The national lawmakers should be in
session. Congress, however it's preroga-
tives may have atrophied, is still a
fountainhead of authority. Mr.. Glass
finds the war risk insurance fund de-
pleted. In other funds there is similar
depletion, while in others there is sur
plus. Many reconstruction measures,
whose consideration is desirable if not
necessary, need attention.
Government by cable is at best a
makeshift. Government with the execu-
tive department absent and Congress
not permitted is breathing in vacuum.
There is talk of Congress calling
itself together, as it seemingly has a
constitutional right to do if it would
also embark on policy of disregard
of precedents. But the better way is for
the President to issue a call. It's time
to halt folly

members Of the board intend to d;stribute
their tickets likewise, and unless YOU are in

The differences between Bolshevism
and American democracy do not relate
to proletarianism or equalitarianism.
One no more than the other is devoted
to class stratification. The capitalistic
system here is not held up as something
Interchangeable. The inheritance of prop
erty and the private ownership of land
and of other property rest on repealable
laws. The differences between democ-
racy and Bolshevism lie deeper-reate
to things more fundamental than any
quarrel over property. One holds to
the doctrine that the majority should
rule and function through the law, with
evolutionary change The other denies
the majority's right to rule and reverts
to the autocratic principle of privilege
and, with respect to change, rejects
truth attested by all science and history,
and contends that revolution is not only
possible, but desirable.
"Sec America first''-the injunction
applies to our intellectual travellers as
we'll as to those who buy Transportation
tickets. Made-in-Germany ideas, the
superficial philosophy of the privat-
decent who assumes that all lands are
class ridden because his own is, no longer
have the vogue they had.
