New-York tribune., 1920-09-18

The amount any one person may
give may we'll be limited, as Mr..
Hays has urged on his committee;
the list Of givers should be pub
lished, for it is no scandal to give,
and a voter is entitled to know
whose money has sent a circular to
him, even as he does the name of a
speaker who addresses him. Finally,
there should be publicity az to how
the money gathered is spent. This
will not only protect against lille
gitimate expenditures but also tend
to save the funds guardians from
raids by political blackmailers.
II am sure Mr.. Hays will be glad
to join me in promoting proposals
looking to the perfecting of his own
great conception"
But Mr.. Cox does not say this or
anything like it. With nothing con-
structive to offer, he joins the COM

The theory that either boys or

Why Girls Leave Home

Each generation finds its own pre-
determining cause for the irrespon-
sibility of youth. Once every bow
who broke from the domestic traces
was supposed to find his inspiration
in the dime novel. Such adventures
as those portrayed by Nick Carter
and Old Sleuth made the feeling of
youthful unrest too strong to be re-
sisted. The fiction which demoral-
lied girls was Of different kind
the novels Of Bertha M. Clay. for
example, or Of Laura Jean Libbev.
Now, according to many experienced
up''fters, the deadly germ is to be
fo"nd not between covers but on
t!1s screen. Devotion to the "novies''
Is The propelling reason why girls
leave home.
There is something in this, no
doubt. Youth is impressionable, and

things heard" Few Of the popular
picture plays can justly be con-

The Courage of Logic

Americans like the sentimental
and are averse to the logical. We
believe what we want to believe
rather than what facts tell us we
must.
The Wall Street massacre ad-
monishes us to have the courage to
be logical-to think things through.
The easy tolerance which closes the
eyes to disagreeable realities, the
comforting assumption that some
things simply can't happen which
do, helps in making the world
madhouse.
Nothing in the American climate
prevents the explosion Of bombs
loaded with metal missiles. Nothing
in the American temperament for
bids evil ideas breaking out into
fiendish conduct. Scrap the danger
Gus optimism which teaches that
the incitement to crime does not
amount to anything-that it is safe
to let the crazy and the half-crazy
blow off steam.
For years public opinion has in
diligently ignored what were called
the antics of agitators. Politicians
have been applauded as they busted
themselves arousing class hatred and
capitalizing it to their personal
profit. Crime is crime, though it
camoufages itself by pretending to
zeal in behalf of some industrial or
social cause.
1t is time to stop all this and to
get back to first principles. Whether
an offense consists in exploding
TINT in crowded thoroughfare or
in throwing rocks at q "scab"
$ streetcar, or in blowing up a bridge
because built by those who choose
to work, or in threatening to
choke the public into subserviencc
if it does not empty its pockets on
demand-whatever and whichever Of
these methods is adopted there is
no place for tolerance
Rats are gnawing in the dark, and
hey are being propagated and fed
by those who pretend to wish a bet
ter world. The light-minded look
on with gaping ndifference-are IN
the state Of mind of the pacifsts
who said that it was inconceivable
that Germany would break loose and
that only nlilitarists were alarmed.
The seeds Of thoughtfulness must
be planted. "Son of man." said the
Lord to the Prophet Ezekiel, "if
thou warn them their blood will
net require of chine hands. But if
thou warnest them not?"

What Cox Might Saw

If Mr.. Cox, touching the matter Of
campaign contributions, were sin
cere and really desirous of better
ing conditions, instead of demagogic
and irresponsible talk of corrupt
conspirators purchasing command
of bayonets and seeking to buy con-
troll of the government, he would say
something like the following:
"An effort is being made in this
country to deepen the foundations of
our political life. We are trying. to
induce our citizens, both as members
of political parties and as voters on
Election Day, to take a more lively
interest in public affairs. We are
endeavoring to make men and wom-
en-, as individuals, more conscious of
mutual interests and common duties
less mechanical and more intelli-
gent in their personal judgments.
'This great and worthy object has
led not only to the enactment of pri-
mary laws and the creation of new
nominational machinery but to the
adoption of new methods Of cam
paigning. The distinction of Will
H. Hays, chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, is that he
early perceived the need Of getting
his party in more intimate contact
with its rank and file. He has la
bored to secure more general par
ticipation as the only effective way
to get rid of machine politics. l
honor him for this.
"The means he has employed are
! eoucational--a greater distribution
OF political literature, more meet
lngs and larger number of con-
trlbutors to the educational fund, on
the well known principle that a
cause person gives to is likely to
be close to the heart. Mr.. Hays has
increased the mail Of his committee
nearly tenfold and .cherishes the
dream Of ending the rule of the pro-
fessional politician by converting all
into amateur politicians.
"But, like all bettering changes,
this one, in evil hands, is suscepti-
BILE Of abuse. 1t gives to contribu-
tors a propaganda advantage. Even
though the reliance is wholly on
legitimate persuasion and no monop-
oily Of this Is sought, the mere fact
that the argument chiefly proceeds
from one side is offensive to many.
Moreover, there is at least a the
oretical danger that the giverg will
misuse TO their selfish benefit the in
fiuence in their hands. There is
need, therefore, Of a multitude Of
givers, thus watering the weight of
particular individuals and groups.
ITO reap the good Of q broader
political education and at the same
time TO avoid Its incidental evils it
seems desirable to adopt safeguards.

Protecting Gibboney

In the court martial Of the two
army sergeants to whose immediate
custody Grover Bergdoll was COM
mitted on the occasion of his treas
ure hunt certain facts concerning
D. Clarence Gibboney, one of the at
torneys for the Stacker, were
brought cut.
Mr.. Gibboney arranged the expe-
dition, he became responsible for
the safe return Of the prisoner, he
changed the program when Bergdoll
arrived at Philadelphia, and then
was absent when the escape oc
CURED. The officer who summed
up for the defendant soldiers re-
marked that "the ease and quick
ness with which Grover got away
shows conclusively that all had been
carefully planned in advance, and
Gibboney was the one man who
could have done this"
Here is tolerably straight accu-
sation which Mr.. Gibboney, 50 far as
we know, has said or done nothing
to refute, unless calling Bergdoll a
"dastard' be regarded as refuta-
ton. The position is not one which
man of his pretensions as a watch
full guardian Of the morals of soci-
ETY., the chief inspiration Of a Law
and Order League, can find comfort
able. That he is in danger of other
than mental discomfort, however,
does not appear. There is no sug-
gestion that the War Department
contemplates proceeding against
him.
Why the tenderness toward Glib
boney? Surely it is not sympathy
for him. Is it to insure the screen
ing of the identity of the "Some-
one" who made Bergdoll's release
possible? Who was it? Does Sec
retary Baker know, or won't he tell?
The more the Bergdoll scandal is
dug into the more clear it appears
that something is being held back

The Unanswerable Fact

1t Is the traditional policy Of The
Tribune to hold its columns open to
the opinions Of its readers, however
these opinions conflict with it's own
views. Under this rule letters upon
the Irish problem from every point
Of view have appeared, with the
tragic case Of Mayor MacSwirey as
the center of discussion in recent
weeks.
There could be no more difficult
and complex issue than the problem
of Irish government, yet touching
the case Of Mayor MacSwiney we
think it fair to say that one fact has
appeared in the discussion by our
readers which no one has attempted
to answer or meet. That fact seems
to US an essential fact, for it touches
vitality the moral responsibility of
the British government. 1t is that,
however high the motives of Mayor
MacS@iney, he is committing suicide
by his own hand and will. Not the
British government, but ne, will be
the author of this tragic death if it
occurs. Food is available at any
moment. He has but to stretch out
his hand to saveshis life. Neither in
law nor fact, by philosophy or COM
mon sense, will the Mayor be any
the less suicide than if he opened
MS veins or hanged himself in his
cell. Nor is the responsibility of the
British government one whit greater.
By torturing himself thus pub
licly Mayor MacSwiney hopes to per-
suade the world Of the justice O." his
party's demands. His course is GER
tainly convincing evidence Of his
courage and faith. But unless gov
ernment is to become farce we do
not see how such self-imt osed tor
ture, even ending in suicide, can af-
feet the course Of justice. 1t is COM
plicity in murder with which he is
charged. 1t is fantastic and prepos-
ferrous to argue that an effort to COM
NIT another murder, ones own-a
killing for ages held in especial
horror by Church and State--should
relieve a man of punishment for
prior killings.

The Reelected Socialists

On small vote, almost by default,
the five Socialists expelled from the
Assembly through the influence of
Speaker Sweet have been reelected
The result was not unexpected.
The people of the districts, without
regard to party, are sensitive to
seeming to countenance any infringe
1nent Of the right Of free represcn-
tation.
But the returns do not show a So
cialist victory. A year ago the same
: successful candidates received in the
1--WE districts 28,469 votes, and on
Thursday 1860, decrease of 38
per cent.
This occurred in spite Of the fact
that the Socialist organization, bv
extraordinary efforts, promoted a.
iegal colonizaeion OF 1,2v0-thas Is

cialists to transfer their residences
from other districts in time to vote.
II to these be added the members of
the old parties who responded to the
appeal tc rebuke the arbitrary &C.
ton Of the Assembly, an issue haying
no direct relation to socialism, it
We nd appear that the Socialist vote
proper in the districts has lessened
at least one-half.
1t is also to be noted that the So
cialist organization cleaned house
sought to purge itself Of the chief
charges brought against 1t at AL
bsny. The provision Of the party
constitution by which an elected So
ciaiist gave a power of attorney TO
the party committee has been
stricken out. Likewise the rule re-
curing Socialists, under all circum-
stances. 70 vote against military ap-
preparations has been repealed.

to the rights enjoyed by other
parties.
The weakness of the Socialist
house-cleaning case is, Of course,
that serious doubt exists with many
as to the party's sincerity. The
tone Of the Socialist press and the
utterances of Socialist speakers in
cline large number to believe there
is no genuine reform-that the party
is of its old opinion still and merely
has gone through the motions of re-
pentance.
The question so bitterly fought last
winter promises to be reopened next
week. But for the reasons indicated
above it is not exactly the old issue.

more likely to be against it now, for
it is not easy to establish that the

Dishonoring Police Cards

Police cards issued by the Police
Department to active newspaper men
to enable them better to gather news
failed again to be consistent pass-
ports at the big Wall Street explo-
sion Thursday. Individual police
men, in accordance with their whims,
would recognize or not recognize the
cards. Failing to pass one Gordon, q
newspaper man would worm his way
to another and pass it without ques-
tion. One police sergeant, newly ar
rived on the scene, ordered his men
to drive every reporter away from
the corner of Broad and Wall streets,
though Mayor Hylan, who chanced
to be on the spot, quickly halted
this caprice. However, individual
writer's during the day found their
cards recognized or unrecognized in
a manner which seemed entirely due
to the notion Of the officer ap-
pTOdCHeQ.

frontier deprived Poland Of the corner
between the Niemen and the East Prus-
sian frontier, which has been left to
the Russian fraction Of the old Polish
state by the Congress Of Vienna. but
otherwise followed the lines laid down
in 1915.
But the Russians, for patent reasons,
assigned to the Lithuanians fer more
extensive frontiers; that Is to say, they
ceded to Lithuania territories which the
Paris Conference :, had recognized as
within the so-called "ethnic frontier" of
Poland, territories which include the
City of Suwalki. The territorial dispute
between Poland and Lithuania now
arises over the divergence between the
limits laid down by the Paris Confer
ence and those fixed by the Bolshevists.
The Poles have offered to refer the
whole case to, the League Of Nations,
provided the Lithuanians will accept as
the basis for an armistice line the
frontier fixed by Paris, but the Lithu-
anians refuse to recognize the Paris
line, which is also called the Curzon
line, because it was cited in the recent
