A Historic Relic

That engaging survival of immo-
bility and the masculine crouch, the
Columbia Law School, was subjected
to comment by President Butler at
a Barnard College luncheon. We
are not sure of the precise import Of
the remarks, which first called at
tention to the fact that the law
school was the only department of
the university still closed to women
and then continued: II have talked
with it's officers in vain. Perhaps
you women can move them better
than l." We had always supposed
that it was not necessary for the
president and the trustees of uni
versity to plead with one of it's
schools to behave. But if this inter-
probation takes DR.. Butler too seri-
ously, and humor-with merry
threat in the background of his light
someness-is to be suspected Of lurk-
ing in his speech, we strongly plead
against any such attempt.
Perhaps the women of Barnard
could move" the dean and faculty
of the law school as they are here
officially urged But why should
they? Does not every consideration
Of civic pride and historic sense pre-
fer that this fine old monument to
masculine dignity and pride be pre-
served in its pristine glory? Ours
is city of restless change. Old
landmarks are swept aside daily.
Few enough stones are left to per-
petuate the years of the Centennial.
Where are our examples of the Gen
eral Grant architecture, Early or
Late? Here is at least a hall of
thought that maintains unimpaired
the essence Of those admirable years.
To hear Of it. is to hear the
horse-car tinkle upon our streets
again and see the Mary Powell
chnrn upriver once more. BY all
means let these excellent side
wheelers Of the Columbia School of
Law pursue their proud course un-
swerving and unassailed.

Industrial Education

BY what sort of education is the
republic to be re-Americanized and
reintegrated and protected alike
from predatory plutocracy and pred
atory poverty? The common school
is essential, but it is not enough.
Nor is patriotic exhortation enough.
Hearts may respond to the call of
the flag and heads fail to measure
up to the obligations of modern citi-
zenship.
This country needs education as
to how wealth Is created and dis
tributed, a clearer general percep-
Itlon of how our industrial institu-
tions work, and how they may be
made to work better and to bring
larger dividends to the average man.
With respect to moral and political
principles our people may claim to
be well advanced, but the principles
of wealth making are neglected.
But the leisure and the comfort
which enable Americans to be men
are as precious as the ballot. If
there Is per capita decline in our
wealth creation there will be pro-
portlonate decline in our standards
OF living, and this will mean q saw
age competition among individuals
to avoid being hindmost. We mhst
guard and further develop the pro-
ducing mechanism now menaced,
which has been created without
without much conscious thought.
The false assumptions prevail
that wages are paid out Of capital;
that the profits Of business are prac-

whereby great harm resulted" he
had, nevertheless, acted in good
faith.
So for the time being he is not to
be removed from his post. But
the chances are he will be quiet
ly dropped before long. He ia dam
gerous. He scandalizes Germany by
his truth telling, and his revelations
have not made it easy for pro-Teu-
tons throughout the world to ex-
plot their favorite doctrine that
for the war one side was about as
much to blame as the other.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-28

tically unlimited, and that only
selflshness and hardness Of heart
prevent a swelling Of pay envelopes.
Socialistic agitators have been con-
ceded a monopoly Of propaganda,
and men tend to believe what is
constantly dinned into their ears.
Not long ago Cleveland concern
conducted questionable, which
showed that its employees little re-
allied that tho customer Is the wage
payer; that capital is not used for
paying wages, but as part Of the
machinery for carrying on the bust
ness. Yet when debating society
was organized, to which Socialists
were freely admitted, the men
quickly developed among themselves
spokesmen who exposed the soap
box fallacies.
Any man Of average intelligence
can be made to see that decreased
production means lower wages; that
normally a man is his own paymas-
ter; that a business stops if af-
ter wage deductions and payments
for raw materials not enough is left
to provide a return to capital.
Appurtenant to every consider
able factory might be debating
society - first, to study political
economy generally, and, second, to
study the particular affairs Of the
plant. Along this line little is done,
and In consequence the ignorant
radical commands influence.

Shall Teachers Get Out?
The Logic Of Their Lot and Its
Warning TO the Citv

w OIJUIS ~ tlIC lily
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Hylan is friend Of the
school teachers. More than q year ago
he told tho teachers that If they were
dissatisfied with, their salaries they
should get other Jobs. Thus he In
dicated that he was opposed to increas-
ing their pay.
Many wise teachers possessing such
foresight as business men appreciate
and pay we'll for took the Mayors ad-
vice Of quitting the profession to seek
better satisfaction in business. And
they have been rewarded by their new
employers. Two thousand teachers
have resigned since the Mayor advised
them to "get out" Without intending
to do SO, the Mayor gave the teachers
golden words of advice; they have
acted quickly and with telling effect.
If the Mayor cares more for the well
fare Of the wise teachers than he does
for the success of the schools the COM
munity will not blame the teachers for
doing as the Mayor told them they
might better do
And now enters DR.. Henry r. Berg,
who represents the real estate owners
of the city. Before the Assembly COM
mittee on the Lockwood bill, accord
ing to The Tribune of February 25, he
said that the teachers "money grasp
ing lowered their dignity and their So
cial standing in the community" Their
social standing cannot be lowered by
anything except their inability to pay
for the necessaries of life, including
exorbitant rent. The landlords whom
Mr.. Berg represents tell the teachers
that if they do not pay their rent they
may do what the Mayor told them to
do-they may "get out"
Get out" seems to be the catch
phrase of advice which the teacher
hears constantly. The teacher is wise
who gets out while the "getting" Is
good. That 1000 have left the system
during the last year is evidence that
teachers are correctly interpreting the
true economic signs of the times.
The public knows the condition Of
the schools. (The Tribune has ad-
mirably told the school story) 1t
knows that the salary of teachers is
inadequate; it knows that thousands
are resigning; it knows that many
thousands Of pupils are being sent
home every day because there are no
teachers to take care of the children;
it knows that the schools will soon
collapse If the present rate of resigna-
tlons and the unfavorabe autocratic
conditions in the schools continue-the
public knows all these things And if
the schools do collapse it will be the
public's fault for permitting these
things to go on despite the feeble cry
OF few OF the teachers who are con-
scientiously working for the best well
fare o. the schools CITIZEN.

which however unsatisfactory in de-
tail, would abolish the far moro dan
gerous possibility Of an armed clash
with the Italians, In which the Italians
would have the tscit support Of the
British and the French and the Jugo-
Slavs would not have the aid Of an
American warship or soldier.
AS it stands, we are preventing oil
settlement, encouraging new causes for
hostilities and, at the same time, con-
templating not the smallest action on
our part if the principles we champion
by words lead to new conflict or, as
is the possibility, to many conflicts.

Herr kautsky Cleared,

In Germany, while it is still an
offense to tell the truth, you may
escape punishment if you are lucky.
Karl Kautsky. the veteran theorist
OF social democracy and leader of
the Independent Socialists, who pub
lished from the Foreign Office
archives documents relating to the
''nMeiiate origin of the war. is not
to go to Jail.
His publication Of documents
which revealed the personal re-
sponsibility Of the Kaiser more def
nitely than anything that went be-
fore was by far the most honorable
act emanating from a German public
official since the outbreak of the
war; also, it was good diplomacy.
for it showed to the world that there
still are German officials capable of
telling the truth, and because bv
fixing the blame on the Kaiser it
tended to diminish the responsibility
Of the German people.
But these considerations do not
appeal to a patriotic" German. Pa
triotio Germans, represented by the
Conservative leaders in the Assem-
bly,, brought proceedings against
Kautsky for what they called a
grave breach Of official secrecy on
tho part Of the governments
archival expert Herr Kautsky
was charged with having "made
business out Of the misfortune Of his
country" The committee, however,
to deal with the matter
found that although Herr Kautsky
had been lacking In caution in not
having prevented the premature

A Telephone Rebate
This Reader Asks for Better
Service or Lower Charge

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In connection with the present
intolerable telephone service, | wish to
call attention to the fact that the
charges named In our telephone con-
tracts contemplated at least fair and
reasonable service.
At the present time the telephone
company's officials themselves are com.
PEELED to admit that the service is not
fair or reasonable Then why should
we as telephone subscribers be called
upon to pay the full rate for the present
one-third service? Why should We not
pay in proportion to the service ron.
dered?
If you contract with the milkmsn for
a quart Of milk day and he delivers
one pint day he does not expect you
to pay for quart, and a ton Of coal 10
1000 pounds, not 600 pounds. Why
should the tele phone company's exclu-
sive franchise permit 1t to collect toy
service not rendered!
Under the present inadequate service
tuo OpcIdlOI does not ascertain WhcthoS
or not you secured the number called
and, in many instances, the subscriber
is charged for call, when the answer
ing number was not the one called.
Frequently subscriber is connected
with the wrong number, is then IN
able to induce the operator to answsr
his repeated flashes and Is compelled
to give up in disgust. In such an
event the subscriber Is invariably
charged for the call, although he lid
not get the number called.
am aware that the telephone com
pany is operating under difficulties,
but that is also true of all of US. But
If the rest of US fail to give the service
which we contract to give. then we are
paid only for the service which We
rendered. Why should the telephone
company belong to a class which ex-
cludes the rest of US?

Slipping the Turk on His Wrist

~" r i'iiiS tI'C uIk on Ills w rISt
To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: If 1t were not so tragic the news
item published in all the papers to -day
about the Armenian massacres in Cilicia
would be excruciatingly funny We are
gravely told that 1000 Ar7ncnians we're
murdered, but that the sourse of in for
nation was Armenian. To heiphten the
absurdity Bonar Law SAYS that there
are no Allied troops in the vicinity.
What does this news distributor mean i?
Does he imagine that the Turks would
give out any information on the sub
ject? Does murderer send news Of
his deed to the newspapers? When cor
nercd does he not raise his hands and
eyes to the heavens and declare on his
sacred word as gentleman he never
saw the party in all his life and was
never near the scene Of the murder?
The Turk is to be reprimanded as a
bad boy and to be told that he will have
his wrist slapped If he does 1t again.
The old excuse is being repeated that
tne turkish government is a very fine
institution, if it will only behave itself.
1t seems useless to ask how often the
massacres are to be permitted, for it
seems very evident that we will be
reused to action only when the last vic
tim of the Turk has disappeared

Mr.. Hoover replies to the question
"Where do you ?" by asking the
Same question of both the Democratic
and Republican parties. 1t appears to

than that he shall go to the mountain

peace" With Russia

The United States has never been
at war with Soviet Russia or any
other part Of Russia. So there can
be no question Of peace. and Lenine
unnecessarily vexes the air by the
wireless messages he launches from
Moscow.
Nor is there any feeling Of enmity
against the Russian people. 1t is
generally recognized here, as in Rus
sta, that the Russian people showed
yellowness when they deserted their
allies and by an unexampled be-
trayal brought unnecessary death
and wounds to millions Of French
men, Britons, Italians, Americans,
Belgians and others. But this is not
remembered in bitterness. Unedu-
Gated men were beset by unscrupu-
lous men with German gold in their
pockets. The tempters came with
lies and pretense Of noble ideals
and awoke the coward that slum-
bers in every heart.
Nor is there any disposition to
dictate to Russia as to what sort of
government she shall have. If she
wants communism, that is her bust
ness; if she wants to reestablish
czarism under new name, it is not
our right to say no; if she likes the
starvation and the dsorganization
which the Lenine tyranny has
brought, America, Of course, will be
sorry for her misery, but cannot
end it.
But sympathizing with and help
ing Russia and recognizing the Boil
shevist group Of tyrants are diff
ferent matters. The Bolshevist
leaders are a foul and treacherous
crew. They are enemies of democ-
racy and all we revere. Their re-
gime has been one of murder and
terror. They have reduced a great
people to the edge Of famine
Our government was the first to
denounce the Bolshevists as interna-
tional outlaws, and as they were
they are-except that they have
added hypocrisy to their vices. They
show what sneaks they are at heart
by assuming that this country can
be bribed by concessions. If the
Bolshevists have anything of value
to bestow let them remember first
the peasants of France who fur
nished out of their savings the capi-
tai to build the railroads and the
machinery of civilization that re-
mains undestroyed.
Does Russia wish to re9stabllsh
herself morally and politically as
well as economically? If she does
let her start Lenine and Trotzky
and their courtiers for Holland,
there to mess with the Kaiser.
The world cannot be expected to
believe in professions Of reform
from offenders so hardened as the
men who accepted from Germany
the job of putting Russia out of the
war, and who since, to perpetuate
themselves in power, have piled
crime on crime.

Shrub May Prove Valuable.

Two years before the war, as the
story is told, two German chemists
applied for permission to experiment
with the plant life on a great semi-arld
ranch in central Mexico. Their re-
quest was granted, with the under
standing that they furnish complete
report of their findings. The two
chemists worked feverishly, and chiefly
on a squat, odorous shrub called $50
bernadora," long reputed to possess
medicinal properties. Suddenly they
disappeared what they had discover
ed was never known. Now, after ex-
periments with this same desert
shrub which they have found In drier
parts of New Mexico, chemists OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture believe that they have discovered
another alkaloid to add to the list
which already includes morphine,
quinine and cocaine. Its chemical and
pharmaceutical properties are now I'M
