Another Article x

The resolution ratifying the Algeciras
convention furnishes form sufficiently
clear Of how to ratify and reserve at the
same time. This resolution began:
"That the Senate. as part Of this act Of
ratification" etc.
Conceding the regularity of Mr.. Roots
proposal as to interpretive reservations,
it is said by some that the method does
not permit the elimination of an entire
article-Article x of the covenant, for
example. Those so holding should ex-
anime the first Hague treaty. They will
find that in the convention covering the
use of projectiles and explosives an ar
ticle was deleted.
1t happens that it was another Ar
ticle x.

They espouse despotism. They may use
new words, but they are at one with
monarchists and feudalists and all others
who have based organized society on
revelation. or divine right, or the selfish
ness Of minorities.
BY inevitable steps the upholder of
revolutionary right becomes, when there
Is provision for change and growth, a
champion of tyranny. No such thing
as dictatorship of the proletariat is
possible. If there is dictatorship it is
only Of one kind-the old kind. Those
who would ignore the methods of free
amendments may not be guilty of treason
in strictly legal sense, but they are en-
barked on very real treason, neverthe-
less, and freemen not only may, but
should, defend themselves.

Provincial New York
tFrom Tho Minneapolis Journop

'TTom 1ne minneapolis JourndD
In the course Of comment upon inter-
esting men he has known, Colonel Waiter
son remarks: "Provincialism is not neces-
sarily rustic, even suburban. There is no
provincial quite so provincial as he who
las passed his life in great cities"
Obviously true, but not self-evident to
the provincials Of great cities-New
Workers conspicuously. 1t is the provincial
ism OF tho New Yorker that strikes every
Western sojourner in Gotham. The West
erner sees that New York is tho great
CITY, He admires its buildings. marvels at
ITS popnlousness, maybe .disApproves a bit
Its luxuries and is alarmed at tho price
OF them. But the Now York outlook
amazes hint is so self-contained. And
tho Now York complacence amuses him, or
perhaps irrftates--it is SO SNUG.

1arly whether Merrick solves his problems
is sufficiently interested in them to dis
appoint US greatly when he allows them to
slip away What's little thing like
problem between a reader and an author
who writes as pleasantly as Leonard Mer-
rick in "Cyntha"?
Sir Charles Walston, in his "Truth-An
Essay in Moral Reconstruction. finds the
most fertile field for reform in news
papers.
"The conclusion at which we are forced
to arrive" he writes, "is that modern iour-
nallsm acts in most demoralizng manner
on the mentality Of the modern world. Bv
the essential constitution, as we'll as the
immediate objects and ultimate aims. of
the modern newspaper ITSELF and by the
training and professional practice of even
the most high minded journalists, the cause
OF Truth is far from being furthered: it
is in fact injured in its most vital func-
tions and purpose, and Truth, as we have
maintained before, is in its relation to
the lie OF the community and to the
worid at large not only a theoretical
luxury but practical necessity upon
which the whole wellbeing of the COM
munity depends; even in the most mate
rial functions of daily life. Finally, on the
negative side. through the encouragement
which is given to prepare the mental food
Tor the public in a condensed and highly
seasoned form, there has been created
habit and craving for such a condensation
and preparation of its mental diet SO that
tho public mind turns from hcalthful and
simple fare and refuses altogether the
nourishment which sustains the truth-pro-
viding organs. The world suffers from
moral dyspepsia. 1t is chiefly owing to the
Journalist, who, as l said before, monopo-
Lies most of the leisure which the public
devotes to reading, that people will no
longer read books which in most cases
are the only avenues to sound and bcnefi-
cent education and to the realization of
Truth. It is also owing to this influence
that, when people do read, from the habit
Of rushing through newspapers, accelerated
by the nilestones Of headlines. they no
longer read these books leisurely, carefully
and thoroughly. the only method leading
to complete, useful and improving under
standing. The journalist. more than any
other man, has helped to lower and vitiate
the sense Of Truth"
We just knew that something would 10
wrong if we took day of.

When the War Will End

The war will not end actually with the
signing of the treaty of peace with Ger
many. So far as the United States is
concerned. the signing of the treaty by
the American peace delegates is not a
final act The delegates are only inter
mediaries: their work must be approved
by the principals whom they represent
namely. the President and the Senate.
And even after the treaty with Germany
is ratified and proclaimed the treaty
with Austria-Hungary will have to be
passed on. The state of war now exist
ing may, therefore, not be terminated
for couple of months, unless Congress
passes resolution ending it, without
reference to treaty terms to be subse-
quently agreed on, and that resolution is
signed by the President.
Laws creating war agencies have con-
tanned various phrases defining the war
period. Some of the acts run until the
end OF the war;; others :"during the
present war;" for and during the period
of the present emergency" until "the
national emergency resulting from the
existing state of war shall have passed"
and until the war shall have been
brought TO successful conclusion"
The most precise of all the definitions
Is to be found in the appropriation act to
supply deficiencies for the fiscal wear
1917. Providing for the discharge Of
drafted men and men enlisted under the
act Tor the temporary increase of the
army, this law said: "Whenever such
war shall cease by the conclusion Of
peace between the United States and it's
enemies IN the present war the Presi-
dent shall SO declare by a public proc
lamatlon to that effect, and within fonr
months after the date of such proclama-
zion, or as soon thereafter as il NAV ba
practicabie to transport the forces then
serving without the United States To
their home stations, the provisions ~
sucn act' IN SO far as they authorize com.
puisory service by selective draft or

effect" 7'1u

The Revolutionary Right

Revolution, to minds which have not
attained their growth, is right as
obvious as it is sacred. It is eulogized,
irrespective of any particular objective,
as good thing in itself A radical
speaker quoted Jefferson the other night
to the effect that it is wise to upset for
the sake Of upsetting. To adapt the old
couplet:
IA little rebellion, now and then,
Is relished by the best of men,"
How far does the rule go? Is the
revolutionary right absolute and uncon-
ditioned? May limits be imposed to
change, or to methods Of change? In a
word, may an existent social order resist
to the death kinds of innovation.that are
destructive of itself?
Before answering these questions it
is, perhaps, we'll to put others. Has
water ethical authority to burst any bar
rlers in its way? May gas expand when
and how it pleases? May steam refuse
to enter cylinder? May centrifugal
force say that the lettering of centrip-
etalism is grossly immoral, and may a
planet insist on tangentially shooting off
into space1
These latter questions apparently
admit Of but one sort of answer; that is,
that power may be required to abandon
its tendency to wreck and ruin if pro-
vided an adequate channel. Water, or
gas, or steam, may be forbidden to wan
der from path duly appointed.
Having arrived at these answers, the
first series OF questions, it appears, are
also answered. If a scheme of govern
ment furnishes the means for orderly
change, then, on the analogy Of nature.
it Is proper to resist disorderly change.
The justification for revolution is in
frozen institutions; when they are plas
tic, when there is nothing the people
may not do through them, then excuse
for revolution is gone.
Radicals who support the doctrine that
power may be "seized" are throw-backs

~>~A~
EONARD MERRICK has an easv and
often pleasant method of solving
the problems Of novelist, even if he
does occasionally take his responsibilities
lightly. In Cynthia" for instance, he
spins himself the prettiest sort of puzzle.
Early in the book he marries off his
thoughtful, book-writing hero to q pretty.
empty headed girl. In chapter or so the
young man finds that he and his wife have
not taste in common. She dotes on the
popular novels which he hates and she has
not the slightest appreciation Of his own
work 1t is incomprehensible to her how
ne can manage to take a whole year to
fashion a book. When somebody remarks
that Its fat-headed, misguided beast Of
world" Cynthia says brightly, ut isn't
the world, it's the people in it,"
A CHASTITY silence follows the mot of
Miss Ddlcinea; a silence, ain which the
Journalist stared at tho stove ornament,
affecting not to have heard her, and Kent

In ths lAst chaptcf Of tho book hs finds
that Ills wife had become a woman--in
her tone+ in her bearing, in her comments,
which often had pungency, though they
might not be brilliant"
1t Is truo that all this has happened in
three years, during which Humphrey Kent,
our hero, has been separated from Cynthia,
but so has the reader, with the exception of
few brief glimpses. We are left In tho

The indispensable Arm

No one can dispute the necessity of
reducing the enormous totals of our an
preparation bills. The House of Repre-
sentatives has shown an admirable zeal
IN cutting the army and navy bills which
tailed at the last session. Until we de-
eide on military policy we can get
along with a moderate-sized stop-gap
regular army. Until the naval problem
is simplifed it is wise not to authorize
any construction beyond that carried in
the last three-year programme (still far
from completely.
But in one field Of military expendi-
ture the precept of strict economy does
not hold good That is in aviation. The
key to national defence in the future is
the air service. The superdreadnought
may become obsolete. Army tactics may
be revolutionized. But the airplane and
the seaplane will continue to grow in
military Importance. Whatever happens
to other branches, this branch of land
and sea offence and defence must be ex-
panded.
The United States is now behind the
other great nations in it's air establish
ment. Great Britain and France, though
impoverished by the war, will spend in
1920 vastly larger sums for their
air services than our government has
planned to spend. We cannot safely af
ford to fall out, even for year, in this
competition.
The Senate Naval Committee has
Increased the naval aviation appropri-
alton which the House granted - only
S15,000,000 to $36,O00,o00. The SEN
ate Military Affairs Committee has
increased the army aviation appro-
priation which the House granted
also $15,ooo,Oo0-to $55,ooo,oo0. These
changes are justifable in principle. And
savings in other directions will permit
them to be made without CHALLENGING
the general policy Of retrenchment.
Fighting and scouting planes are not
luxury, not a superfuity They are
necessity. The development under way
in this field when the war ended ought
not to be checked abruptly.

Sweet Danger

The tragedy of the aviator who fell to
his death while circling over his tiancee's
home is anything but unique. Almost
every community near flight grounds
has seen just such chances taken, and
the number of accidents has been con-
siderable.
1t is human nature to show off-the
most strong-minded of US yields when
the right opportunity comes along. The
temptation for the f1ier is great. A
grander sensation than to go roaring,
sweeping into the sky, few feet above
crowds heads, no boy old or young
could conceive. Lochinvars who can ar
rive in biplane are practically beyond
competition. They court in a class by
themselves. Small wonder when they
throw in a few extra stunts for good
measure
AS matter of fact, it is precisely the
most spectacular stunts, those done near
the ground, that are the most dangerous.
Every experienced fier knows where
this danger zone is, and his first aim is
normally to pass through it as quickly
as possible. Stalling an engine within
few hundred feet of the ground means
certain smash-up. Stalling an engine
several thousand feet up involves no risk
save that of picking out good landing
spot. 1t is little like the sailormans
dislike of the coast Once skipper gets
his ship off soundings he breathes hap
PLY. To the landlubber, on the other
hand, the coast near at hand seems a
welcome assurance Of safety. So the
aeroplane among the clouds seems
perilous spot to the land-gazer. To the
f1ier it is the plan ascending or land
ing. within couple Of hundred feet of
safety that needs watching.
But knowing risk and needing it are
two different matters. Let the male
who never skated on thin ice to the
glory of his sex throw the first Some!

Cruelty to Prisoners
To the Editor of The Tribune.

o tHe E01tOT OF Inc 1T36Nne.
Sir: If the truth of the deaths Of two men
following rapidly brutal assaults by keep
ers be established, surely it calls for
searching investigation by the State Com
every one who reads about them with
horror.
How can they be prevented! There is
only one way; to appoint visiting COM
mittees composed Of men and women OF
all religious denominations and all politi-
cal parties, the only conditions Of member
ship being a willingness to visit and an
earnest desire to better existing condl-
tons.
How benefcent such committee could
be is shown by the useful and widespread
work done in our charities. The plan OF
this work was first developed and given
essential life many years ago by MISS
Louisa Lee Schuyler in the New YORK
State Charities Aid Association.
Nowhere should more power be given
to the visiting committees than among the
confined criminal insane. Otherwise, it Is
we'll nigh impossible to prevent brutaIities
and ignominies which even now, disgrace
at times these penal institutions. In IN
sane asylums for criminals the visiting
committees, in addition to power, should
have knowledge and courage to pursue
their investigations most effectively.
l earnestly hope the Governor Of New
York State will take to heart the impor-
tance of my affirmation and see that 1t %
made of practical value Immediately.

The Coming 7ower

As the Situation Grows Desperate
We've substitutes on every hand
For Charlie Chaplins, Billy Vests;
We've oleo for butter, and
For stomach laughs we've mental jests.
And what I'm after in this jot
OF measured thought and metred line
Is this: Will some one tell me 4ohat
They're going to substitute for t0ine?
For hens we've incubator lays,
For rugs we've got linoleum,
For hair they've given US toupees,
For plug tobacco, chewing gum.
A concrete case is that of ships,
And rouge we often take for skin.
But heed this query from our lips:
What sOill they substitute for gin?
Where once were tresses, now is switch.
We've rubber soles for leather shoes,
And saccharine's the substance which,
To save the sugar, housewives use.
The faded -four now is bran,
And jazz has ended musics tale.
So won't you tell US this Man,
What shall you substitute for ale?
