Ter of Harvard in an address on "The
Origin of the Ancient Egyptians" in

Biological museum. 1.-THE admixture
of negro blood, due to intermarriage
with slaves, was as popular in Bible
times as now"
The speaker corrected many popular
misconceptions about the historic
lands. "You apply the term Hamitic
to all blacks" he continued. "'Sons
of Ham to the discriminating scholar
of African conditions means white
people, not black. African residents
do not begin to call man black I'M
til he is chocolate or copper colored.
'"The degrees range all the way
down to dull coal black. All shades
lighter than copper, such as the tan
Of the American mulatto, are called
white. The yellow girl is the compli-
mentary way to address or to paint
q lady over on the Nile.
"The handsomest people in the
world are the Abyssinians, slender,
high-browed, copper-hued-these peo-

color of the healthy man is black
and greenish bronze hue, of shade
often seen in statues, but generally
believed not to be found in real life.
"These men, by the way, have the
must luxuriant hair in the world, and
yet they never can grow more than
the scantiest, scrawniest Boards"

Chief Magistrate McAdoo

Report comes down the river that a
scheme is afoot to supersede Chief
Magistrate McAdoo with somebody to
be designated by Mayor Hylan, perhaps
David Hirschfield, the Mayors friend.
Assemblyman Goldberg, Tammany
regular, has introduced bill for re-
organization of the Magistrates' Court,
seemingly directed against the Chief
Magistrate
The Costigan reduction tinkled a
warning. An attack on Judge McAdoo
would be clarion peal--woud indi-
cate resolution has been taken to
tolerate no one in the way of lifting
Of the lid. The Chief Magistrate is
obnoxious to some elements OF New
York, but who they are and what they
are is thoroughly understood. His merits
are known to 80 many persons that no
attempt to decapitate him in secret can
hope to succeed.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo is the
father Of the reform procedure which
brought 10 an end the old whispering

The Flag and the So
ciialist
By Henry A. Wise Wood

The revolutionary Socialist hates the
law. He hates the law because the law
having given to every man an equal OPP
portunity to achieve the uttermost that in
him lies, protects the better man in the
enjoyment of the fruits of his labors.
Hating the law, the Socialist hates the
soldier, because the soldiers arms are be-
hind the law and assure it's enforcement.
Hating the law and the soldier, the So
ciaist hates the flag that flies above the
soldiers head, because the flag is the SYM
boil of loyalty that holds the soldier true
to his trust
From socialism TO disloyalty is but a
short road. At its one end is envy, at its
other treason So long as men must gather
themselves into groups called nations and
pool their strength for their common pro-
lection he who would threaten the bond
of union by assailing it's symbol, the flag.
must be held a traitor and treated as a
public enemy.

Daylight Wasting

One OF the important savings Of the
war was daylight saving. Unlike many
other war economies, it brought no dis
comfort. 1t was itself a comfort. BY
borrowing from the sun we reduced our
gas and electric light bills The length
ening Of the summer afternoon and
evening brought an extra hour of day
light pleasure and recreation to the
millions Of people who are compelled
to work indoors.
Shall all this gain be sacrificed simply
because the war is over and some one
suggests that while we are going back
to other old habits we might as we'll go
back to the Old sun dial? We have i'm
proved on the sun dial. Why apologize
for having taken liberties with that
ancient implement?
The House of Representatives insert
ed a rider on the agricultural appropri-
alton bill repeating the Calder daylight
saving law. 1t went through in silence.
1t lays an unnecessary tax on every user
Of artificial light 1t abolishes a sum
mer daylight conservation schedule
which has strikingly demonstrated its
benefcence.
The Senate should defeat this foolish
obeisance to Anticipated conventions. 1t
is challenge to community welfare and
to every theory of public thrift

The Roosevelt Memorial

The day following the death of Theo-
dore Roosevelt The Tribune asked for
suggestions as to the most appropriate
memorial. The first reply was from the
Rev. Stefano l.. Tesla, of Brooklyn, who
said the best monument would be "a ma
tional educational movement for Amer
icanization." Hundreds of other letters
followed, and at least three out of five
expressed a similar or related idea.
Now the Roosevelt Memorial National
Committee makes it known that a ma
jority of the many suggestions it has
received favor "a dynamic commemora-
ton over any sort of marble or bronze
tribute" A typical suggestion cited by
the committee is that Of Miss Eugenia
Wallace. Suggesting a series of scholar
ships, Miss Wallace says:
"These scholarships should be of such
variety that they would meet all needs,
from four-year scholarships in college to
six months training-in stcnography.
plumbing, agriculture, etc. The details
could be worked out by the schools them
selves, cooperating with educational au-
thorities and vocational advisers. If &C
ton is quickly taken it should be pos
siblc to use much of tho excellent ma
chincry that has been employed during
the last four years for emergency train
ing courses"
That public opinion should be so nearly
one as to the belief that the most appro-
pirate Roosevelt memorial would be
some institution or movement for human
bettcrment, rather than costly pile of
marble or granite, is in itself splendid
memorial to the great American

method of administering justice. There
are now open hearings and trial.
Formerly thousands whose principal
knowledge of America is derived from
happenings in the petty courts were
poisoned into becoming bad citizens by
knowledge that political leader was
the real maker of decisions. Not only in
changing the spirit Of the minor trib-
unals but in better arranging their
work Judge McAdoo has done a great
and good work and is not to be displaced.

Z RAIL travellers, deftly Pickering over

o living flowers against the needless blue
Of summer days-what sends them dane

This fiery blossom'd havoc of the hours?
Theirs are the musing silences between
The enraptured crying of shrill birds that
make
Heaven in the wood while summer dawns
awake;
And theirs the faintest winds that hush the
green.
And they are my soul that wings its way
Out of the starlit dimness into morn:
And they are as my tremulous being

To know but this, the phantom glare Of day

Portrait of One Dead

Portrait of One Dead
(From Others
THls is her house. On one side there is
a. darkness,
On one side there is light.
Into the darkness you may lift your lam
0, any number-it will sill be night
And there are echoing stairs to lead You
downward
To long sonorous halls.
And here is spring forever at &hsse win
dows,
With roses on the walls.
This is her room. On one side there IL
On one side not sound
At one step she could move from sovs 70
silence,
Feel myriad darkness coling round.
And here are balconies from which she
heard yos
Your steady footstep on the stair.
And here the glass in which she saw your
AS she unbound her hair
Here is the room-with ghostly walls dis
solving
The twilight room in which she called you
"lover";
And the floorless room in which she called
vow friend"
So many times, in doubt, she ran between
them!-
Through windy corridors of darkening end.
Here she could stand with one dim light
above her
And hear far music, like a sea in eaverns,
Beating away at followed walls of stone.
And here, in q rooiess room when it was
raining,
She bore the patient sorrow Of rain alone.
Your words we're walls which suddenly
froze around her.
Your words were windows-Iarge enough
for moonlight.
Too small to let her through.
Your letters-fragrant coisters faint with
music.
The music that assuaged her there was you.
How many times she heard your step as
cending
Yet never saw your face!
She heard them turn again, ring slowly
fainter.
Till silence swept the place.
Why had you gone? The door, per-
maps, mistaken
You would go elsewhere. The deep walls
shaken.
A certain rose-leaf-sent without inten-
Became, with time, woven web OF fire
She wore it, and was warm.
A certain hurried glance, let fall at parting
Became, with time, a woven web of fire
Yet there was nothing asked, no hint 70 tell
Of secret idols carved in secret chambers
From all you did and said.
Nothing was done, until at last she knev
you.
Nothing was known till somehow she was
dead.
How did she die You say she died Of
poison.
Simple and swift. And much 70 be xs-
gretteds
You did not see her paes
So many thousand times from lfxfs to
darkness,
Pausing many times before her glass;

ried
To lean from certain windows, vsinly hon
ing,
Passionate still for beauty, remembered
spring.
You did not know how long she chung to
music,
You did not hear her sing.
Did she, them make her choice, and step out
bravely
From sound to silence-close, herself, those
windows?
Or was it true, instead,
That darkness moved,-for onee,-and so
possessed her?
Well never know, you say, for she is dead.
