(F'rom his address to the Brockton
Chamber of Commerce, April III,
1850
Mans nature drives him ever on
ward. He is forever seeking develop
ment. At one time it may be by the
chase, at another by warfare, and again
by the quiet arts Of peace and COM
merce, but something within is ever
calling him on to "rcplenish the earth
and subdue it."
Wherever we can read human history
the answer is always the same. Where
commerce has fourished there civiliza-
ton has increased. 1t has not suf1iced
that men should tend their focks and
maintain themselves in comfort ON their
industry alone, however great. 1t is
only when the exchange Of products
begins that development follows.
It is only figure of poetry that
wealth accumulates and men decay"
Where wealth has accumulated, there
the arts and sciences have fourished,
there education. has been diffused, and
Of contemplation liberty has been born.

Villa Elsa Abroad

At the August meeting Of the
French Academy one of the Immor-
tails, Emile Boutroux, remarked that
he recently had happened upon an
English book called Villa Elsa, by
an author named Stuart Henry,
which impressed him 80 powerfully
that he forthwith ordered a copy
for presentation to the Institut de
France.
Those who read the American
edition of Villa Elsa, published a
few months ago, may understand it's
interest for French Immortals. It
gives what the author says is a true
picture of the German people during
the years preceding the war-a
portrayal so merciless that not few
feel it must be greatly exaggerated.
In the authors opinion, kaiserism
brought about mental and spiritual
condition in which the people Of Ger
many as whole became "pagans at
heart, thinly coated with veneer Of
outward Christianity" He believes
that they never will abandon the
idea Of revenge on France and Eng
land, unless this spirit can be
eliminated.
This cannot be done, he thinks, by
military or economic force. AS an
alternative he suggests that some
agency, private or governmental,
bring to the United States each year
about ten Thousand German boys and
girls of ten Or twelve years. These
he would have distributed among
American families all ovea the coun-
cry, attending public schools and
inbibing democracy as it is known
here. AZ the end Of a few years
they would be returned to their
German homes.
! Such a program would be costly,
| MIR. Henry admits; but he declares
that il would cost no more TO
bring over and maintain ten thou
sand children in this way than to
build single battleship. He is con-
fident that such peaceful penetra-
ton" would do what even defeat in
war has failed to accomplish. The
author Of Villa Elsa expresses the
opinion that it would be possible to
carry out his plan IL undertaken at
ofiee--while living conditions are go
hard In Germany; but adds that
wh4rs Germany gets on her feet eco
iaomieaily fs might DO very difficult.

The Repssblican Primaries

The victory Of Senator Lenroot in
Wisconsin is victory in which the
whole country, Republicans and
Democrats alike, can rejoice. In his
service in the Senate Mr.. Lenroot
has established his ability beyond
controversy. His is unquestionably
one Of the ablest minds in either
house Of Congress. What is equally
important, he has shown consist
emily progressive spirit and a broad
and generous outlook upon matters
foreign and domestic. It was his
counsel which largely controlled the
Republican attitude toward the
league in the Senate, and it will be
largely to Senator Lenroot in the
coming years that progressive Re-
publlcans, young and old, will look
for leadership and inspiration. The
Tribune congratulates the Republi-
cans of Wisconsin and the nation
upon Senator Lenroot's success in
the face Of heavy odds and q bitter
antagonist.
The Democratic contention that
the country is ablaze with enthusiasm
for the Wilson League of Nations as
1t stands will hardly find support in
the overwhelming victory of Sena-
tor Moses in the New Hampshire
primaries. Here vigorous CAM
paign was made against the Sena-
tor solely because Of his sympathy
with the "irreconcilables" in the Sen
ate. Especial effort was made to
organize the supposed sentiment of
the women voters in favor of the
league as 1t stands. The effort was
total failure. New Hampshire Re-
publicans, men and women alike, ex-
pressed their preference for a Sena-
tor who, whatever his mistakes upon
particular issues, has made an envi-
able record for courage, sincerity
and intelligence.
Sentiment for leaping into the
Wilson league with eyes shut may
yet develop in some unforeseen quar-
ter. Thus far every indication
strongly favors the Harding policy
of constructing a whole league out
of the half league formed at Paris
and not only looking, but taking
counsel Of the entire wisdom of the
country before we leap into any
thing.

Anti Sim Elm
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Irish cause Of late seems to
be the main topic, and the public press,
generally speaking, is giving publicity
to every breath that the Sim Feiners
take. 1t is about time that the voice
Of the anti-Sinn Feiners are given q
hearing through the dailies Of the
great city Of New Yorka
Will you kindly give voice to my pro-
test against the insidious propaganda
against Great Britain, our ally, through
whatever channel it Is propagated,
whether under the auspices Of the Sim
Feiners or directed by the spiritual ad-
visers with their main Office at the
Vatican, and whose agents honeycomb
most Of what we hold SO sacred, our
public institutions?
I hereby most strenuously protest
against Mayor Hylan for having sent
the -much-talked telegram to
Lloyd George, Of England, in which he
msde the very absurd statement that
he spoke for all of the citizens of the
city Of which he was Mayor. He GER
tainly made a mistake in making such
statement, for he spoke but for
small minority Of Irish sympathizers.
If the Sim Feiners in this country
would get their right deserts ard were
treated according to the aid they gave
the Allies during the war, think that
the affairs of this country would have
healthy turn toward adjustment.
l am italian by birth, and therefore
cannot be charged with being prohibit
ish, but surely realize this much: that
the Obstetrics were our friends DUR
ing the war, while the Sim Feiners
gave aid and comfort to the Germans.
Are ave to reward those who stabbed
our boys in their backs? Neverl

Mayor Hylan' s Insult

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Hylan's cable to the
British Premier is an insult to large
percentage Of New York citizens.
We note that there is no record If
his having sent any cable to the
Irish republic headquarters protesting
against the murder of poor Swanzy,
who was shot down in cold blood as he
left church after service.
What would the Mayor Of this city
say if the Mayor of Sheffield, England,
cabled a protest to Washington re-
garding the latest lynching in the
South, or ventured to protest against
Jack johnson being allowed automobile
rides with lady friends when he is
supposed to be serving term for an
offense against the Mann act?
Let us get through with this butting
in on other nations affairs and watch
our own a little more closely.
