The Kansas Language

few years ago a candidate for Office
in Kansas suffered what he and his sup
porters looked upon as an inexplicable
defeat. A wise politician of the Sun
flower State, being asked to explain the
mystery, replied:
"He doesn't speak the Kansas Ian
guage."
10 kansans no elucidation of that
somewhat cryptic sentence was neces-
sary, but outside students Of etymology
have found the explanation almost as
puzzling as the candidates defeat was to
his supporters. To such students light
may be vouchsafed by this extract from
an Associated Press story from London
containing an American soldiers answer
to the question as to whether he could
tell from his conversation what part of
the United States a man was from:
"sure. Take man from the South. He
speaks slow, with a drawl-'Air- you -goin'-
down town toe ght ?'-see? - like thrt,
like a bunch of farmers talking man
from Chicago talks like man from New
York, quick and sharp-like, with lot of
profanity"
"But could you tell the difference be-
tween Chicago man and New York
man?"
Sure. A Chicago man uses more pro-
family, and he moves his hand like this
see ?-as if he was doing a card trick A
New York mans quick and soft"
what about the Middle West ?"
"Ah, a Kansas man doesn't speak slow,
like Southerner, or too quick, like Chi
cago man, but just plain and distinct, so
any one can understand him. Just like l
speak. I come from Kansas"
That's the "Kansas language" that
any candidate for office has to talk, $50
any one can understand him"

Touching the City's Health

There seems to be a consensus of
opinion that the Division of Industrial
Hygiene, admittedly one of the most i'm
portant branches of the Health Depart
ment's work, should remain under the
control Of the Bureau Of Preventable
Disease and Of DR.. Louis l. Harris. who
was named as its head when the Board
of Health created the division in 1915.
1t is certain that DR.. Harris's foun-
dation and conduct of the division have
been Of great benefit to this city's
working people, for without a single
exception the labor executives who Of
ficially represent the unions Of greater
New York have expressed vigorous dis
approval Of the curtailment of Dr.
Harris's power. 1t is equally certain
that the men most qualified to recognize
expcrtness are whole hearted hackers of
Dr. Harris. The Federal Health Service
is advising other cities to model their
divisions Of industrial hygiene after

Middle European Claim Jumpers

One Of the obstacles to the pacifca-
ton Of Europe is the disposition of
emerging national groups to file on their
territorial claims without waiting for the
peace settlement.
Thus, the Ukrainians have been at
tempting to seize Lemberg and the east
ern section of Galicia, in which there is
large Ruthenian or Little Russian
population. The Rumanians have taken
possession of a large part of Transyl-
vania. The Poles in Posen have over
thrown the Prussian bureaucracy and
set up Polish regime. The Czecho-
Slovaks have extended their power in
Northern Hungary and also advanced
toward Vienna. The new state of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes is eager to
expel the italians from Fiume, from
Dalmatia and from parts of Istria and
Carinthia.
So far as the Allied powers are con-
cerned, the only warrants they can rec
ognize for the occupation of territory
formerly held by the Central Powers
are the texts Of the existing armistices.
These texts do not assign definite title
to any of the territory evacuated by the
enemy. The peace conference alone can
draw the boundaries of the new states
of Europe. And though the conference
has recognized the sovereigntv of Po-
land and Czecho- -Slavia it has taken no
action which would justify the Poles in
annexlng Posen or the Czecho- -Slovaks
in overrunning the non-Slavic parts of
Austria and Hungary.
Pennsylvania will doubtless be as
signed to Rumania, whose claim to it
srests on agreements with the Entente.
But the new South Slav kingdom has not
even been admitted to representation in
the peace congress. It's threats to seize
Fiume and other territory which is now
occupied by Allied forces under the
term Of the armistice with Austria
Hungary are therefore hot-headed and
inexcusable
The Paris conference is the court of
last resort to which all territorial pre-
tensions must be submitted. 1t is, in
fact, the only court competent to settle
them. And though the settlement may
not embody exact justice to all--which
no possible settlement could realize
the world cannot afford to tolerate an
other series of petty territorial wars
like that which the ancient Balkan rival
ries bred, at last involving all Europe in
bloodshed
The Middle European claim jumper is a
nuisance and peril in the present stu
alton 1t is we'll to warn him to discon
tinue activities which make pacifcation
more difficult and which can only preju-
dice his interests in the final adjudca-
ton.

Ne ed of q Me mortal

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS to your question, "Would Theoo.
dore Roosevelt wish a magnificent me-
morial." | will make the following OBJ
servations: Theodore Roosevelt does not
need magnificent memorial, but we do
most emphatically need such magnificent
memorial, that we may ever be inspired
to great and honest deeds Looking at it
"on q mountain in silhouette against the
sky" thoughts of patriotism and manli-
ness will be impaired to US with that
eloquent and convincing silence which
only the monuments erected in honor Of the
great spirits of the different ages can IN
part Theodore Roosevclt's wishes in the
matter of no consequence; Roosevelt's
noble character and imperishable memory
like the literary masterpieces and the un-
veiled works of art, belong to the world at
large; we need them for our uplifting;
divine and human laws award them to US.
Now, as to the kind of monument Ny
idea would be to erect the most magnificent
monument in the United States; and why
not in the world? Something along the
lines of the Coliseum I consider more suit
able than anything else. It's construction
should be of more useful type than the
one of ancient Rome The great arena in
the centre for the athletic games, musical
festivals and children's Fairgrounds; one
wing for a library, another for museum
Of natural history; still another for indoor
public speaking and theatrical performances,
a technical school, etc. And at the entrance
at the very entrance-the great equestrian
statue of Theodore Roosevelt, side by side
with one of Abraham Lincoln. If old Rome
was able to erect such monuments, we, a
thousandfold richer and far more decent
should encounter no trouble.

Four American Guns

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t is with great interest that read
your editorial entitled Governor Aliens
Charges Perhaps you would appreciate
further data upon the same subject.
| have never seen an American gun 10
France. After questioning a large number
of experienced officers, including witnesses
Of practically every action in which Ameri-
can troops were engaged, l believe that
only four American guns were ever used
successfully in combat. These were de-
signed, constructed and manned by the
navy, under the direction Of Rear Admiral
Plunkett
Every gun that I have ever heard Of was
either OF English or French design and
manufacture. Our battalion was armed
with 240-mm. st. Chamonds, constructed by
the French in 1888. DAVID BEALE,

A Southern Woman's Plan

Sir: fitting memorial to our beloved
Mr.. Roosevelt would be the early incorpora-
ton into the system of our government of
a provision for training for service. oblipa-
tory on all boys and girls, called the Roosc-
velt training. Such a training would give
an opportunity to embody all that is best
in the concept military" and perhaps
much else not strictly military. The name
Roosevelt would carry with it a spirit of
conservation which would grow greater and
deeper with time. can think of no memo
rial that would be more after the heart Of
Mr.. Roosevelt himself
I am the daughter of Democrat and
many of my friends are Democrats. who
would give enthusiastic support to this
form of memorial, and confidently believe
that there are millions who would be of
the same mind. A SOUTHERN WOMAN.

Board of Sanitary Control; DR.. Abraham
jacob, dean of New York's medical pro-
fession; DR.. H. M. Painter, of the staff
Of the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, and other prominent physicians
have all protested against any inter-
ference with DR.. Harris's jurisdiction.
Commissioner Copeland himself has dis
claimed any dissatisfaction with DR..
Harris's work or any but high regard
for his ability. Yet he bolds that the en-
largement of the Division Of Industrial
Hygiene, made possible through increased
appropriations, would prove because of
DR.. Harris's other responsibilities, too
great a task for the man who is literally
the father of the work
Commissioner Copeland's own office,
into which it is announced the enlarged
division will be taken, is already charged
with the supervision of all Health De-
partment activities and the direct opera
ton Of the Bureau of Public Health Edu-
cation, formerly headed by DR.. Charles
f. Bolduan. In view of the unanimous
protests of those most vitality concerned
with the future of industrial hygiene,
could not DR.. Harris simply be provided
with the assistance he needs and be al
lowed to continue in an executive
capacity over the machine he has built?
Such policy on the part of the Commits
sioner of Health would hush at once the
