The Mt. Bethel-Garmany school
had a very fine and encouraging
opening on Monday morning. Many
of the parents and friends of the
school were present to encourage the
teachers and the children and to
assure them of their support and
help in the work during the year.
Through the courtesy of Superin-
tendent Wilson / had the pleasure of
attending the exercises and it was
very nice to see so many Of the
fathers and mothers there, and to
know that they are interested in the
school and the work Of the teachers,
and I know it was pleasing to the
teachers to have them there. This
is q fine community and they have
taken great interest in the school
during the past few years and there
is evidence of this on all sides. And
it means a whole lot for the school.
Rev. G. A. Clarkson of the Meth
odist church opened the exercises
with prayer and the children sang
and then Mr.. Wilson made talk Of
encouragement to the children and I
made a brief talk. And MIR. B. B.
Leitzsey for the trustees in a few
happy remarks told the children and
the teachers that they had the sup
port and the cooperation of the
trustees in the work before them the
coming year. Mr.. C. H. Alewine chair
man of the board; Mr.. Sims Brown
and Mr.. Jacob Sease> were present as
members Of the board with their
encouragement. Mr.. John Oxner was
prevented from being there but the
teachers may count on him in every
good work.
The teachers the present session
are: Miss Mayme Cromer, principal,
and Miss Mary Nickles of Hodges and
Miss Ida Young Of Pomaria are the
assistants. The enrolment the first
day was SO. 1t is expected that there
will be several more very soon. The
compulsory attendance law is effec-
tive from the opening day.

views and purposes Of the parties
subscribing to them. The recent
Republican record is better than the
recent Democratic record, for as
late as 1916 the Democratic Ma
tional Convention adopted a plank
regarding the protection of Ameri-
can citizens and property interests
in foreign countries which Presi-
dent Wilson repudiated even in his
acceptance speech.
Yet both parties could improve
their public credit by giving closer
attention to the character of the
pledges which they offer to the
voters. A platform is all the more
cogent when it is brief and modest.
If the tentative committee which
Chairman Hays has appointed acts
as a committee on compression and
Qualification, putting vigor and sim
cerity into Republican professions,
no harm can be done. The conven-
tion will be glad to benefit by its

Wood and Old Guard
A Plea for the General as
Colonel Roosevelf's Heir

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Are the Old Guard of the Re-
publican party prepared to raise hell
again? There is every indication that
they purpose to ignore popular will, to
shelve Wood, and select for their stand
ard bearer any old Republican political
derelict who, cocksure as they are of
results, would serve to land the presi-
dency at the election next year.
To all thinking men whose vision and
perspective are undistorted by reason of
the fact that they stand outside the po-
ltical arena looking in it must be ap-
parent that General Leonard Wood is
wellnigh the unanimous choice for
the Republican Presidential nomina-
ton. Were the election held to-day, it
would not be too much to expect that he
would poll three quarters of all votes
cast by all parties. And there are rea-
sons for this extraordinary popularity,
based upon broad common sense and pro-
found sentiment.
Let us consider the last first. The
American people are essentially lovers
of fair play. They feel that General
Wood has not had square deal from
the present Administration. They desire
IN the present instance to express good
will and sympathy which sre due and
to condemn unfairness which is we'll rec
ognized.
Very we'll, as far as sentiment goes.
But there are other moving reasons
based not upon sentiment simply, but on
sound conviction. General Woods rec
ord as administrator and reorganizer
of Cuban affairs long ago marked him
as one Of the greatest executives the
country has ever produced Moreover.
his foresight before the war and con-
duct before, during and since the great
war, in the face of the bitterest efforts
to destroy his usefulness, have disclosed
so much OF poise, reserve, personal dig
nifty and devotion TO duty as to gain the
loving admiration of the whole nation.
Long since he qualified himself to be not
only the faithful friend and worthy
teammate of Roosevelt during the
great Americans lifetime, but now at
his untimely death supremely entitled to
wear his mantle.
America needs Wood as it sorely
needed Roosevelt. God preserve him for
the country and save him and the coun-
try from the Vaccinations of the Old
Guard! WILLIAM N. AMORY.

A School For Hotel Help
(From The Toledo Blade


national institute for the training
Of men and women for all branches Of
the hotel business is suggested by the
American Hotel Association. and Henry
Ford has been kindly nominated to put
up the money.
The list of subjects such a place
would teach is not given, but it is sup
posed that in the case Of prospective
clerks much attention would be de
voted to cultivation Of the naughty
stare; that girl candidates for Jobs
back Of cigar counters would be drilled
IN swift repartee; that walters would
be taught how to make customers
order twice as much as they can eat,
and that other pupils would be given
equally practical instruction. Above
all, students would probably be drilled
day and night in the gentle art Of ex
tracing tips

Dead Souls vs.. Bernard Shaw
To AhA Editnr ~ I'll. .il.

u tHe EulCOr OF Inc Tribune.
Sir: A curious organism is The Trib-
une. So pleasing a thing is it to me,
taking it altogether, that I have had it
follow me three thousand miles through
desert and over mountains. Even witt,
the five-day beard it accumulates on the
journey, it is thing to be preferred to
the patent medicine circulars passing as
newspapers which litter this garden spot.
Haywood Broun, F. P. A., Ding,
Briggs, your makeup, your head type,
your advertising columns-all delights.
But your editorial columns-oh, man!
What admirable turner's of the thumb
screws your editorial writers would have
made in the Spanish Inquisition! Men
of blood and iron with souls of straw.
The latest insult to the intelligence is
the pecking of one of your dead souls at
Bernard Shaw. The author of the pref
ace to "Heartbreak House" is libeled as
voluptuary who values play-acting
above life, an anti-socal hypocrite. 1t
is not the friends of G. B. S. who would
have applied for an injunction to re-
strain its publication, as your writer
suggests, but some dead soul like himself
fatuously blinded to Truth.
Shaw is that rare being, man of per-
feet vision. No veil of childish ror,anti.
cism blinds his eyes to Truth. He can
see the cause behind the effect, is aware
that heroism is dependent on motives.
Reckless death in battle is not alone
sufficient to constitute heroism, as your
writer blandly assumes. The man OF
normal vision will acknowledge the hero
whether he give up his life in bloody Nc
Mans Land or in Leavenworth prison, a
conscientious objector made victim to Q
torture sanctifed by blindly despotic
government.
But what consideration, what under.
standing, has that obscure hero of the
cells to expect from The Tribune edi.
torial board?

Why?
We were told a year ago that they
were to be deported, and then we hear
of their making speeches quite lately.
The authorities on Ellis Island do not
seem to have ordinary common sense.
Oh, for the big stick of the dear de-
parted, with which to thrash the Boil
sheviki and the l. w. VS.! Did Presi-

on Ellis Island?

What Can't Be Cured

A Philadelphia court has decided
that nagging is not a ground for
divorce. A husband told a piteous
tale of years of unmerited re-
proaches. But the court was quite
certain, however, that verbal as
saults do not come under the head
of extreme cruelty-that hard words
break no bones and that laceration
of feelings is not within the purview
of the law. The victim must initiate
the Spartan youth and smile while
the fox gnaws at his vitals.
Yet practices consistent with for
nal virtue may give more offense
than lapses into vice. Nagging, de-
spite the learned judge, is no trihing
weakness. The lady in the case may
be perfectly right in her views, but
this does not make the iteration of
them more agreeable; on the con-
trary, it may add to evaporation.
There is danger to the harmony Of
the marriage relation when one part
ner is invariably right. The oppor-
tunity to forgive is as much the food
OF love as Duke Orsino said music
was. The hottest anger, if it be
soon cooled, may better be endured
than slow, consuming sullenness
that vents itself chronically.
Most persons, married or unmar-
ried, find it easier to forgive serious
errors than petty ones. There Is a
certain largeness of soul about the
great sinner that the little sinner
New-York tribune., 1919-12-15
Europe Is Willing

Dispatches from London and Paris
indicate that France and Great
Britain are willing to accept the
Senate reservations to the treaty in
very liberal measure. The Paris
Temps the other day made it clear
that the French government sees
nothing radically Objectionable in
the Senate's notifications.
This point of view is easily under
stood. Most of the reservations con-
cern the constitutional relations be-
tween the President and Congress,
so far as the execution of the treaty
by the United States is concerned.
The European powers have no direct
interest in them. LIE Temps said
that France was not worried by the
Shantung proviso or the provisos re-
garding withdrawal and equality
of national representation in the
league. Little is left, therefore, to
argue over. And it has always been
preposterous to assume that the Eu-
ropean powers would stand on pune
tilio even as to Reservation One (the
form of the preamble) at the cost Of
keeping the United States out of the
new world concert.
The European powers may hesi-
tate to announce their willingness to
accept all of the Senate reservations
for fear of offending President Will
SON. He and his supporters have
said that the Senate's changes make
the treaty unacceptable to our al
lies. The President may be reluc-
tant to accept assurances from them
that they are less concerned about
the Senate's alleged qualification"
of the treaty than he is. For if the
European powers are ready to ap-
prove the treaty with the Senate
reservations Mr.. Wilson will be left
as the only unconditional ratification
"bltter enOer.
The Administration could easily
ascertain the real views and wishes
of the European governments. If
he has sounded them he has kept the
results dark. But eventually the
attitude of these governments must
be disclosed. They have practical
reasons for desiring prompt ratifi-
cation. Evidently they are more
eager to end the present deadlock
than is the President himself. They
are prepared to pay for what they
want. And the only thing, appar-
entity, which now prevents them
from getting what they want is the
Presidents disposition to play the
part of an irreconcilable.
