quite a few things, but it sank into
state of ''innocuous desuetude''
from which few are now trying
to resuscitate it and their efforts
should get the cooperation OF
everybody.
There is much to be done for
the public good and while many
golden opportunities have been
allowed to escape, which can easily
be recaptured, others are right at
hand waiting to be taken hold of
and developed. The initial steps
have been taken by few live
; wires who should and must receive
not only encouragement but the
hearty cooperation of all Natchi-
toches, so buckle on your armor
and 60 to work at once as now is

Because of a rush of advertising
and official matter, the above was
crowded out of last weeks issue
and since then the movement has
gained momentum and plans for
organization are being perfected,
as the outcome of a splendid meet
ing held Monday.
Messrs. Jos. K. Walker and A

Guarantees of Peace
III. A Re-created Slovakia

Poland and Rumania constitute the
northern and southern bulwarks of the
new Hindenburg line which the Western
democraces are erecting in Eastern Eu-
rope. The peace Of Europe depends
far more on the solidity of this line
than it does on an academic function
ing of the society of nations.
The gap between Poland and Ruma-
MIA is to be closed by the new state Of
Slovakia. This state not only COM
pletes the Gordon shutting off Russia
from the Teuton powers, but also helps
TO separate Hungary from Germany.
The boundaries of Poland, Slovakia and
Rumania in the Carpathian region are
not yet fully determined. 1t is impera-
tive, however, that the northeastern
boundary of Hungary should not be
permitted to coincide at any point with
the western boundary of the Ukraine.
Lenlne recently threatened to send
Bolshevist army into Hungary The road
which such an army would travel ought
to be barred
Eastern Galicia is more Ruthenian
than it is Polish. If this section is
detached from Poland under a rigid in
depreciation of the principle of racial
self-determination and is given to the
Ukraine, Slovakia should be extended
southeast to connect with Rumania.
Slovakia would then become the middle
section of the Eastern European sani-
tary barrier
The Czecho-Slovak state represents
political resurrection much longer de-
laycd than Poland's. 1t is several CEN
turies since the Slav races of Northern
Austria lost their national identity.
Bohemia remained a kingdom in name
after ceasing to be kingdom in fact.
The Emperor of Austria became the
hereditary King of Bohemia. But the
Bohemlans were treated as subject
people and were even more ruthlesslv
oppressed than were their Slav brethren
or Gallcia or of the South Sav prov
lnces. The Galician Poles accommo-
dated themselves more or less TO Aus
TRAN rule and received special consd-
eratlon at Vienna. The South Slav
states were the main prop of the Haps-
burg dynasty in the revolution of l84s.
But Bohcmia-that is to say, the Slav
majority in observation-disclosures held aloof
from the empire. The Czechs were ir
rcconclablc. In the decades Just before
the war they were the core Of that
anti-Austrian, anti-government bloc
which kept the Rcichsrat in turmoil
and practically stopped the wheels Of
legislation.
During the war Bohemia was the
chief centre of disnffcction in Austria-
Hungary. The Czech civilian popula.
tion offered passive resistance to the
government The men who were
nrai,ed into the army took every oppor-
tuh'ty 10 desert to the enemy. The

But they no longer simpatico with

entirely too much, and also that he has been

the safe, were much annoyed to find that
instead of money to meet the payroll there
was only a small amount of cash on hand
Mr.. Kraft apologized for not having more
money, but the bandits were not appeased
and ordered him to call NJ. Salvios, the camp
superintendent. NJ. Savios assured the gen.
tleman leader of the troop that Mr.. Kraft
was truthful man and that there was no
more money in camp. But they did not be-
leve Nj. Savios.
BY way of persuadng him to be honest
with them, they took him back of the boiler
house and strung him Up by the neck. OF
course, they had only meant to be playfully
insistent but when they lowered him to the
ground he was unconscious, and Kraft tried
to revive him.

Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst

Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst was one of the
remarkable women of her generation.
The two ideals Of her long and active life
were sympathy and service.
She had background of experience
broader and more varied than that of
most women. Going to the Coast with
her husband in the pioneer days, she
knew intimately the California and Ne
vada of Bret Harte's vivid canvases.
She travelled the route of the pros
pectors, lived in mining settlements,
spent months among the Mormons in
Utah, absorbed all the atmosphere of
those days Of frontier roughing it and
high adventure.
She spent years in Washington while
her husband was United States Sena-
tor and after his death and other years
in foreign travel. But she remained al
ways an intensely loyal Californian.
Coming into possession of large fort
une, she devoted herself to good works
for the benefit Of her adopted state. The
present University Of California is in
measure her creation. She offered a
$4,000 prize for the architectural de-
sign according to which the new univer-
sity buildings have been constructed
and grouped and herself made a present
of two buildings. Her interest in the in
stitution, of which she was a Regent, was
constant and enthusiastic
Mrs. Hearst in her youth was teach
er. She believed thoroughly in educa-
tion. In Washington as we'll as in San
Francisco she endowed schools-kinder-
gartens, schools for girls, schools for
teachers. She helped thousands individu-
ally, but she was always more interested
IN putting people in the way of helping
themselves. An ardent collector of paint
ings and art objects, she valued them
less as personal possessions than as con-
trlbutions to public refinement. Her the
ory of their value was illustrated by her
activity in raising a $1,000,O0O endow-
ment fund for the conversion of the Pal
ace of Fine Arts at the San Francisco
Exposition into permanent public art
museum and loaning to the latter, for an
indefinite period, her own valuable art
collections.
unassuming, cordial, broad-minded,
open-hearted, keenly alive to the appeal
of all good causes and severely conscious
of the responsibilities of wealth. Mrs.
Hearst created everywhere respect and
affection. BY her death California and
the country have lost citizen of high
personal character and rare public spirit.

Tactlessness

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to criticise the erroneous
comment of "Thc New York Age" rcprinted
in to-day's Tribune, regarding the allcgcdlv
tactless use of the word "negress" in The
Irbunc's recent story of the King VS.. Mott
suit for alienation of affections.
1t does seem pity to waste so great an
cxpanse of perfectly good white paper in
the tactlcss discussion of a sentimental
tcchnicality. or those who read The Trib
uncs account Of the lawsuit MANY must
have been impressed by the scvcrc i'm
partiality with which tho race question was
avoided except ma it was unntcntionallv
implied by the uniquencss of the case.
There is no odium attached to the word.
1T has all the dignity of the term "ncgro. "
when we read Of tho poetical allusion TO
the stnrrcd Ethiop queen" we define tho
word used as meaning n queen Of the blnck
race, ncgrcss. IT Is an unhealthy, morbid
mental attitude that confounds the term.
The uncertain term "coorcd woman" IL not
only ambiguous but Incorrect, and dislikcd
by all negroes who are only too glad TO be
called by their right name.

To Keep the Scale From Tipping

Much water has run under the bridge
since January 8, 1915, but in the speech
which the President made at Indianap-
oils on that distant day there is an
illuminating passage which explains his
whole attitude toward the war, from his
ostentatious Indifference to the appeal of
outraged Belgium to MS cnarav.erlza-
tion of Belgium,s capatial as an incarna-
ton of "enmity between races" Preach
ing a high morality, an idealism "too
bright and good for human natures daily
food" he has none the less ignored the
whole moral point Of the conflict. Even
in his reference to the German govern
ment as 'this intolerable thing" he tenn
pered condemnation by drawing a dis
tinction between government and peo-
pie. Thus he will not see-perhaps he
cannot see-that "enmity between races"
is just and natural consequence Of
hrutalities and savageres such as civil
ization has not hitherto witnessed.
When the President spoke at Indian
apolis the Lusitania had not been sunk,
to be sure; but enough was known Of the
German way Of waging war to make
neutrality of thought impossible to any
generous mind Yet the President, look
ing at France, Belgium, England, fight
ing against a mortal peril, defending the
hard-won liberties Of the world, could
only rejoice because America was at
peace. "Among all the great powers Of
the world, he exclaimed, "only America
saving her power for her own pcople.'
And then he went on to expound his
1avorite doctrine Of "mediation"
do you not think it likely that the
"orio WIZ some time turn to America
ana say: You we're right and we were
wrong You kept your heads when we
lost ours You tried to keep the scale
from tipping and we threw the whole
weight Of arms in one side Of the scale
Now IN your self-possession, in your
'"o'neSS' IN your strength, may we no,
turn 70 you for counsel and assistancc9'
Inc dream was dis&pated because III.
iorce OF events thrust America. muc,

would the nations who fought 10 dos
pcrately for human freedom, who sncri
feed so much in blood and treasure, hay,
been likely 10 turn for Counsel and us
sistancc" 10 the nation that tried I,
keep the scale from t!pping"~-in othc,
words, that stood by while others fough
