Had an American waved our flag before

Barbara Frietchie was Of French HUI

The Repeal OF the Literacy Test
Would Help the Country.

The Washington dispatches say
that Representative SIEeEL Of New
York is making an effort to have the
Department of Labor waive the lit
eracy test in the case. of immigrant
servant girls.
What would be better would be the
repeal by Congress Of the test. This
country needs labor Of all kinds. 1t
would be a blessing IL It could get a
few hundred thousand Europeans for
the rougher work in the building
trades and on the farms.
Illiteracy does not necessarily con-
note ignorance. There are millions OF
literate men in the United States who
seem ignorant Of the fact that their
refusal to produce to the reasonable
limit of their powers is the prime
cause of rising prices.

TO THE SUN AND NEW York HERALo (:
The quantit.' Of print paper, letter paper
and political hot air used In the discus
sion Of the cause OF the present labor
unrest Is enormous. The treatment Of
the subject by theorists and faddlsts
shows concluSively that they know moth
ing about It. and that they have never
been In actual contact with labor.
The politicians see only the good Of
the party and the paramount necessity
OF holding their Jobs. They firmly be-
lleye that the only way to accomplish
this Is to cater to the labor vote, q
myth that never existed. as 10 well
known to the labor agitatots, who
object strongly to the formation Of a
labor party. Once q labor party met
defeat at the polls. as II surely would.
they would be deprived of the princi-
pal club they use to influence legisla-

There is one and only one way to curb
labor unrest That Is to stop all class

An American Library In Paris.

The great work of the American
Library Association in its war camp
activities has led to enduring results
In widespread promotion of commu-
nifty libraries all over the country.
The permanent consequences have
also taken shape in gratifying form
beyond the Atlantic. Hundreds of
thousands of books were sent to the
camps Of our army in France, and a
well selected library Of about $4,000
volumes was established In Paris
After the rehabilitation the associa-
tion offered to leave these books and
the equipment in Paris il the Amerh
can residents there would agree to
maintain the library. The proposition
was heartily welcomed and an organi-
zation committee has already secured
enough money to pay Its expenses for
the time being.
~ Az ho" ann W ECL CltlOW-
ments, life members patrons and other
forms Of support sufficient to put the
institution on a firm basis. Its loca-
tion is admirable: an attractive build
ing at 10 Rue de rElysee, overlooking
the beautiful garden of the. Elysee,
the palace Of the President of the
Republic. The library is free to every
body for reading on the premises; for
borrowing fee Of only 10 francs a
year for one book at a time is charged.
The chairman Of the organization
committee is Mr.. CHARLES L. SEEoER,
who has contributed all his son ALAN's
royalties, beginning with $4,000 francs !;
a memorial to the young poet-hero OF
the Foreign Legion of the French
army that could not well be more fit
ting. The American Library Associa-
tion stands the greater part Of the
expense for 1920, so what has been
collected has been put aside for the
future.

Since the dramatic close OF the
Nichthauser case we have received
several letters along the lines OF the
following:
ITO THE SUN AND NEW YoaK HER
AID: I see that Brooklyn haber-
dasher has been arrested like a com
mon criminal because he made net
profit (induding a so-called salary)
OF some $4,000 ON gross sales Of
S124,000 and on an investment OF
$4,000. That is to say. 10 ger cent
on sales and 60 per cent. on capital
We'll. II that is to be taken as
precedent I surmise that practically
every retailer in similar lines Of busl-
ness is now standing In the shadow
of Jail; for my experience al an
auditor leads me to believe that this
case is not an exception but comes
close to being the rule. C.
"NoEwALx, Conn. April lS"
We cannot understand why the
Federal investigators should have
thought that a years profits Of $24,-
600 on an Investment Of $4,000 was
remarkable or indicative of dlshon-
esty. A man might make $4,000 a
year on an investment Of 500 and, do
II honestly. We have known a neSvs-
boy, starting with a capital Of one
cent, with which he bought two news
papers, to end the day with dollar
in his pocket. Rapid turnover of
stock, with the reinyestment OF
profits, often brings business results
which are startling when reduced to
figures Of percentage on the original
capital. But It must not be forgotten
that the newsboy had something be-
sides the cent. He had ambition and
energy.
A specific charge against. NIcHT-
HAusER was that he bought a rain
coat for $23 and sold It for s45.
There the gross profit was a little less
than 100 pen cent. It would be In
teresting to know the net profit on a
transaction of that kind. A man may
make 100 per cent. profit on every
thing he sells and still go into bank
ruptcy. Unless hiE business Is lively
enough to keep up with the huge OYER
head costs Of to-day he is a goner.

DANCER I'M THE BoNUS.'
The Peace TAx Levy It IL Proposed
10 AaA 70 the War Taxes.

To THE SUN AND NEW YoRK HERALD
The taxing power OF the Government,
ar rather the power OF the Government
exercised in the name OF taxation. has
been employed In recent years to ex-
tract enormous Gums Of money from the
pockets Of minority OF the people,
and much Of II has been wasted beyond
the dreams of deserving Democrats.
Tax eaters have crowded our perma-
nent public buildings and temporary
structures In Washington and elsewhere
throughout the country. rendering but
little service for tho money they got,
and althoogh the war came TO an end
nearly a year and half ago tens Of
thousands of tax extractors and tax eat
ers are still on the payrolls. They
shotld DO at work In some productive
industry.
It is now proposed not only TO con-
tinue the samo policy OF taxation, but
some OF our members OF Congress- are
striving to find other ways to inslnuate
the fingers OF the tax gatherers into the
pockets Of the people.
One OF the most curious Incidents Of
recent years is this: The one thing that
was certainly indispensable to the sue
cess of the armies and navies OF the
Allied and Associated Powers In the re=
cent war was the wealth created In this
country gince the close of our civil war
by the thrift OF energetic and industrl-
Gus people. and yet that element OF our
population has been segregated, out
lawed and plundered as IL 1t were a
crime to create the wealth that saved
our civilization.
1t is now proposed to levy a tax esti-
mated TO raise from ono to eight bill
ions--the estimates vary--in order to
corral the votes Of the members Of the
American Legion. Many of the mem
bers OF that organization, perhaps q ma
iority, are opposed to this mercenary
raid. All Of them should be and prob
ably most Of them will be when they
come to realize the real quality OF tho
movement, which aims to degrade q
noble public service. which they splen-
didly rendered, to q soriid adventure.
Members Of Congress who are igno-
rant OF the nature and consequences of
such legislation would do we'll to re-
member the salary grabin the '7os. and
Cheesequake. and also spend few hours
In looking into the volumes Of Gibbon
and Ferraro. A. M.
