EXPERIMENTATION.
Suppose the Negroes Of South Caro-
lima Demanded It'll

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Let
us suppose self-determination OF races
is carried to its bitter end. Then sup
pose the German population OF one OF
our middle Western States, by calling
in other Germans from near by States,
accumulated majority. and by popu-
lar vote determined themselves a sep
arate German empire. In what manner
could we prevent the catastrophe
Suppose the negro population OF some
Southern State invited a few negro citi-
zens from adjoining States They could
easily form a ma jority in that manner
BY INSTRUMENTATION of races could they
not form an African republic right on
the solar plexus of America?
Did not the great self-determiner con-
graduate the German Emperor and ex-
press hearty good wishes upon his birth
day while the Enperor's armies were
occupying French and Belgian territory
by force, regardless OF the clearly rec
ognized lines Of nationality? Perhaps
at that time the determination of races
in Europe was not so important as the
determination OF the German vote IN
America. ALBERT A. HoGE.

THE LAST MUSEUM"
The Passing OF DIR. Kahn's Ends an
Ancient Form of Diversion.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: The
closing OF DIR. Kahn's Museum at Fifth
street and Cooper Square marks the
passing OF the old time museum. DR..
Kahn's Museum had been in existence
great many years, and was formerly
OF Broadway. OF other museums OF
the past the most important and the
largest was G.. Il. Bunnelrs, for n long
time at Tenth street and Broadway.
Here Weber and Fields and other noted
vaudeville actors made their first APP
pearance in the concert hall. Bunnell
had the largest and best collection of
curiosities with the exception of Bar
NUNS Another museum with a large
patronage was Huber's on Fourteenth
street, opposite Irving place. This mu
scum had many unique attractions. like
Whale Oh Gus. Sober Sue and rowing
and pie eating contests, rare freaks, &c.
Another we'll known museum was Doris's
at Eighth avenue and Twentyseventh
street. Fanny Herring appeared here
in THE French Spy
Other smaller museums worthy of
mention were the Globe, for a long time
between Blocker and Houston streets
on the Bowery. Mddleton's and the
New York Museum were located further
down the Bowery. NJ T. FOLSOM.

Our Wars with European Powers

The old list of the Powers of Eu.
rope included six Governments Great
Britain, France, Germany, Austria.
Hungary, Russia and Italy.
With four of these Governments
the United States, at one time or an
other, has been at war
With Russia as a Government we
never were Mt war. Whether we are
now a war with the mad rabble which
seized that country in the hour Of Its
downfall nobody seems to know.
On the old list, therefore, Is just
one Government with which we GER
tainly have always been on terms of
peace-Italy.
Just rs certainly the United States
Will continue to be at peace with
Italy. When there Is feeling of
friendliness between two peoples such
as exists to-day between Americans
and Italians no politician or states
man can bring on war between them.
Nothing but international hatred
could now precipitate a war between
two important nations, and In this
case there Is no hate. There is not
even Ill temper, or Impotence, or mis-
understanding between the two peo-
pies concerned. And what elocution-
lists say will not matter in the end.

Cardinal Mercier and the Victory
Loan.

The subscription to the Victory
Loan by Cardinal MERCER, the Bel
glan prelate, must make a strong ap-
peal to American patriotism. 1t Is
not only gracious act of a kindly
man but an expression Of affectionate
remembrance from the hero of q dew
astated and sorely afflicted land to n
nation that sought TO alleviate its
sufferings in It's EXTREMIST agony.
In this way 1t comes from Belgium
itself. For in country that devel.
oped nation of heroes MERCER stood
supreme. When at the mercy of the
enemy and with a stern knowledge Of
all the savagery Of war upon him, he
proclaimed in the hour of what ap-
peared hopeless defeat the freedom
and independence Of Belgium.
Cardinal MERCER showed what love
Of country meant. BY his heroism
he gave the world q lesson in patriot
ism, patriotism that one of his own
countrymen described as "a patriot.
ism which links God with country,
home with home and man with his
FELLOW men,"
In his letter 10 Cardinal GIBBONS Of
Baltimore Cardinal MERCER says:

THE SMALL RENT PAYER.
Wanted for the Man
Whose Limit Is s25 q Month.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: The
account printed In THE Sun of April %
OF the programme which the Governors
Reconstruction Commission is studying
as a solution of the rent question Is very
amusing to the man with a moderate
sized family whose financial ability for
bids him to pay more than 325 month
for rent.
The idea Of building houses for those
who can pay $40 a month Is the height
OF absurdity when you consider that the
man who can pay $40 probably earns
$500 year. What Is to become Of
the man whose salary Is between $1,000
and $1,000? Ut the members Of the COM
mission want practical ideas on the rent
question let them consult some one who
lives in an ordinary fiathouse. where the
rent does not exceed $50 a month. and
they may get some practical advice.

NEXT YEAR, WOOD?
A Bostonian Offers Reasons for the
Generals Nomination.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: 4
am of the opinion that General Leonard
Wood is the logical candidate for the
Republican nomination for the Presi-
dency. 1t will undoubtedly be a mill
tary election on account Of the war
interest. General Wood is a mental and
physical giant, proved administrator,
father Of American military prepared
ness and a stanch Republican. Those
who believed in Roosevelt are firm ad-
herents OF General Wood. who also has
tho good will Of all elements in the Re-
publican party. General Wood would
be popular nominee, owing to war en-
thusiasm, and be the direct opposite
OF everything that Mr.. Wilson stands
for. Upon these grounds 1 favor Cen
eral Wood as the nominee of the Re
publican party for President in the June
1920. convention.

SACRED TOOTH OF BUDDHA
Famous Relic Once a Cause OF Inter
national Strife.
p. B. r. Hellems IN Asid


To make full confession / had not
even known that the festival would fall
in the year OF our visit, not to speak
OF the very week. OF course every lover
OF the East has learned that the Sacred
Tooth is exhibited every FIVE years for
the alteration of the faithful. and that
in the interval neither prince nor mill
lonaire can obtain glimpse OF its ven
cradle form.
Both the official head of Buddhism
in Ceylon and the British representative
would have to agree to any departure
from this usage. so the rule is strictly
observed. One instinctively asks why
the relic Is 30 sacred. The history OF
this solicitously guarded treasure. as
narrated by the Singhalese priests, may
be summarized as follows: When
Buddha's body had been burned, an
Arafat took an unconsumed fragment
from the ashes of the funeral pyre. This
was the lett canine tooth. destined to
become the most celebrated of the many
wondrous relics Of the founder OF the
faith.
After a rather peaceful existence OF
about eight centuries in the southern
peninsula 1t became SO famous and
created such disturbance in the Brah-
manic community that it was surrep-
titiously carried to the Buddhist centre
IN CeyIon concealed in the tresses OF
the Princess Kalinga. Naturally, such
priceless possession proved the cause
of international strife. once. at least,
It was carried back to the mainland Of
India. but was recovered by Prakrama
Bahu the Third. to become once more
tho source of untold blessings.

Ingratitude in Washington.

The Evening Post of yesterday
printed defence of Postma ster- Gen
eral BURLEsoN and reply to the
Worlds adverse criticism Of that func-
tionary, which astonlshes by its at
tribution of motive. 1t comes from
JOHN p. MILLER, described by the
Post as Chief Of the Division Of In
formation of the Post Office Depart
ment," who is quoted thus:
There are fundamental conditions,
political and economic, which are
back OF the recent publications in
the New York World, and back of
the general round Of criticism Of the
Department. which must be consid-
cred before conclusions are drawn.
The attack on the Postmaster
General is a concentration OF criti-
cism of and opposition to the Demo-
cratic Administration on the part Of
partisan and individualistic interests.
Certain war-emergency and after
war results produced abnormal de-
partmental conditions and a neces-
sary change in policies, and those
have been conveniently made the
basis OF complaint and personal at
tack upon the Postmaster-Genera as
an outlet for Standardization in
terests that had tried nearly every
other means by which to embarrass
the present Administration"
We say this Is onishing, for the
reason that the World has been q
leader among the most persistent.
consistent and willing supporters Of
President WILSON'S Administration
ever since March 4, 1918. None has
been more eager than the World 10
uphold Mr.. WILSON in his acts as
President of the United States and in
his capacity as leader of the Demo-
cratic party, and none has more COM
placently put intelligence and expert
ence to one side than has the World
In its efforts to maintain record Of
faithful political service to Mr.. VII
SON. None has shown less "individ-
ualistic" temperament than the World
when Mr.. WILSON'S policies, practices
and declared principles have been I'M

An Administration official who for
gets the fidelity of the World to Mr..
WILSON betrays a degree of ingrati-
tude shocking to contemplate.

MP. Palmcr's. Latest Long Range
Political Prophecy.

Attorney General A. MITCHELL PAL
MER, In whose political judgment Pres
ident WILSON is known to have great
confidence, issued statement in Phil
adelphia on Friday In which he said:
III President WILSON so wished,
he would be nominated and would
be reelected.
II do not think there Is any doubt
Of that"
President WILSON'S most recent ap-
peal to the electorate Of the United
States was made on October "a, 1918,
when he called for the election Of a
Democratic Congress on the ground
that the election Of a Republican
Congress would be interpreted abroad
by Germany and the Allies as repu-
diation by the United States Of his
leadership and his policies.
The election was held on November
8 and resulted in the return Of a ma
jority Of Republicans in the House
and the Senate. The Democratic can
didates in whose behalf President
WILSON made specific appeals for
support Jared as badly as those whose
ambitions were supported in his gen.
eral request The defeat he suffered
at the polls was complete.
Nothing that has occurred since
November 5 has indicated that the
President is stronger now than he
was then. This is not to say that he
may not be in the autumn Of 1920
the most popular living American.
But 1t shows that Mr.. PALMER has no
facts to support his opinion that II
nominated Mr.. WILSON would be re-
elected, and that his confidence is
based not on the political record of
the recent past but on the hopes of
loyal friend.

Where auto horn and whistle blare
Find still the rudy dream a-nght
| In hearts tempestuous with desire:
| And finging back against the sun
A glory that has but begun
The gold dome glitters like q fre
mere jew ana GENTLE meat ana pass
To each--his dream: TO each--his glass
Through devious diseordant days.
The hawker cries his tawdry wares,
/ Reporters Jostle through the crowd,
And from tho maelstrom comes the loud
Reverbcrance Of vast affairs.
ConEested, ugly. shrill, uncouth.
Kaleidoscope. yet the truth
And in the heart and in the brain
OF this resistless SQUARE there moves
A country's hopes n country's doubts:
Yea, underneath the raucous shouts
There springs a Nations hates and loves.
The Heart of Time is beating here
Expectancy, assurance, fear,
Like fame in finder squirt and dare
Tho loud ipcessant thud OF feet
Is like a madiy beaten drum
who knows but the millennium
whirls with the rain along this street!
They pass and pass, a countless throng,
The men who forge the mighty song
