No Violence Unless

20 the Editor Of The Tribune:

'he outdoor meeting in The Bronx the
other night, that Socialism did not con-
template the use of violence except as
Il last resort-when every peaceable
means had been exhausted-will sup
port Mr.. Hughes and his legal con-
1reres in their demand that the sus-
pended Socialist Assemblymen be seat
ed at once-regardless. We have an
uneasy idea that when the time has
come for decision, peaceable means
having failed and violence being in or
der, Mr.. Hughes and these other emil
Eent gentlemen will not be notified in
advance, 80 that they and we may pre-
pare for the necessary" slaughter Of
The recalcitrant majority who refuse
The Socialist doctrines
And there are lot Of us who think
that no party" so-called, which has in
the back Of it's mind this last resort,
violence, to be released as soon as the
party" wearies of pcaceable means,
has any fright" real or imaginary, to
representation in the Legislature Of
the state which it intends (some time
to destroy. We are with Speaker Sweet
and his colleagues on this point and
applaud their stand for the safety of
the state and their refusal to consort
on equal terms with its acknowledged
enemies r. +.

On the other hand, 1O9,846, or in ex-
cess of two to one, opposed unconN-
tional ratification. OF the opposers
of unconditional ratification 13,943
favored rejecting the treaty alto

referendum clear smo3oy.ity of

reser cations.
The showing in favor Of a policy
which The Tribune, in the news
paper field, for q time had almost Z,
monopoly of advocating, and which
both sets Of extremists united in
condemning and lnisrepresenting, is
striking one. Americans do dis
criminate, and those who assume the
contrary misjudge them.
IN other respects the figures are
notable. College professors are ad-
dicted to theorizing, and young col
legians are attracted by anything
that comes to them in the clothes of
high idealism. One can scarcely i'm
agine forum more likely to accept
the Presidents view than the one
whose votes have been .canvassed,
Yet even this decisively rejected his
program and brought to foolishness
his contention that he kneac the
American people were with him.
Take blind partisanship from the
votes in favor of unconditional rati-
fcation; take away from uncondi-
tional ratification the support that
comes from the instinct to uphold
President, right OF wrong, and take
away the effects Of the misrepresen-
tation when the shallow said, Don't
you want to prevent ?"-make
all these subtractions, and the real
support of unconditional ratification

The Real Issue

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t was quite to be expected
that tremendous volume of shrieking
and squealng would arise upon the
suspension of the five Socialist AS
semblymen. The so-called liberals and
radicals who raise their voices in pro
test, as usual, ignore the real issue
and raise the pretended one Of the
abuse of the ballot and ignoring the
voice of the electorate, etc.
1t Is to be. keenly regretted that so
many Of those who followed Speaker
Sweets lead have contracted cold feet
and are seeking to escape the conse-
quences Of the action of the Assem-
bly,. The issue is simply whether these
men have a right to take their seats
in the Assembly, just as in the case Of
Berger-whether he had right to take
his seat in the House of Representa-
tives.
1t is hard to understand how so
many people Of prominence allow them
selves to condemn or question the ac-
tion Of the Assembly in suspending
five members, for no other action seems
to have been possible under the cir
cumstances, and for the Speaker to
have failed to act would have been a
violation Of his constitutional oath.
One is forced to the feeling that many
of our leaders have allowed themselves
to be Influenced by the clamor Of the
anti-Americans into criticizing the ac-
tion Of the Speaker of the Assembly,
which. they should be the first ones to
indorse. FRANCIS DEAN

Brynn Mawr and the Classics

To, tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir::s, The editorial article columbia
and the Classics" In The Tribune Of
January 13, interested me both as a
teacher Of Latin and Greek and a. an
a1umha| Of Bryn Mawr College. The
..1ong step forward" which President
Butler believes has been taken through
the action Of Columbia ain making the
entrance examinations in Greek and
Latin consist chiefly Of translation at
sight" was made for Bryn Mawr long
ago by action Of the faculty, at the
time when the head Of the Latin de-
partment there was Professor Lodge,
now professor Of Latin at Teachers
College; Columbia University. 1t was
in 1896 that translation tests for stu
dents entering Bryn Mawr were first
composed wholly Of passages not previ-
ously studied by the candidates in their
school courses-"sight" passages, as
they are commonly called. Bryn Mawr
was, believe, following the lead Of
Harvard, where this method was then
IN use. After preparing many pupils
both for Bryn Mawr "sight" examina-
tions and also for the other types Of
examination in use now and in the
past. am, for my own part, convinced
that the adoption Of the. sight test is
indeed ~ long step forward" toward
the goal Of . better Latin course. For
me and those who agree with me, there
forc, the action Of Columbia Is ground
for hope that some other college may
soon be ready to try the same method

The Teacher Question
(rrom The Hartford Courant)


One can scarcely pick up u paper
published in any part of the country
without finding In it something about
the inadequacy Of teachers salaries.
The question Of providing proper pay
for public school teachers Is live one
IN every state in tho Union. 1t is not
local, although each community must
face it. In many places salaries have
already been raised and in others plans
for providing increases are we'll under
way, but In very few instances have the
raises been sufficient to meet the higher
cost .of living and % attract desirable
persons u ~ profssslon. The question
Will demand the most serious considera-
ton Of every section Of the country.

An Outburst of Hysteriia

10 the Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir: Now that the fumes rising from
the walls of public wrath poured upon
the head Of Speaker Sweet are dissi-
Eating, we are asking one another,
What was it all about, anyway" Such
an outburst Of hysteria Is not reas-
suring symptom of healthy public
mind, but the very marked tendency
toward reason reflected day by day this
week in the news and editorial pages
of The Tribune gives hope that it is
still sound and dependable at heart. 1t
would be strange if, after what the
world has gone through during the
last five terrible years, we did not give
way to "nerves" at times.
Does any one really believe that
Speaker Sweet did other than his plain
duty? If the Socialist members-elect
Of our Legislature are not representa-
tives, but are rigid agents, possessing
no power except to carry out the or
ders Of society (not "party") COM
posed in part Of minors and aliens, was
it not right that he present the condi-
tion to the Legislature and bar out
these representatives" pending deci-
sion Of the question? It seems rather
absurd that the Legislature should be
given the right to expel elements in
imical to our institutions and then be
blamed when that right Is invoked.
1t is natural enough that people Of
our traditions should react instantly to
the cry of liberty in distress. But is
not this liberty" only name conceal
ing Bolshevik wolf? That is for the
trial to develop. There has always
been "rng-tag and bobtail" party
made up Of divers and diverse sle-
ments united only In their common re-
sentiment against things ~ they are. It

some bit 81 sympathy with the aspira-
New-York tribune., 1920-01-18

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After careful study of tho lot
ters written in behalf Of the suspend
ed Socialists I am astounded at the
attitude taken by SO many excellent
Americans. The sentiment seems to
be almost universally in favor Of the
"ousted five" Surely, the people who
voice this opinion have not carefully
considered this action.
In the first place, these mon have
been suspended and not expelled. BY
each Of the two votes they have been
suspended from active participation in
government by great majority Of the
men whom we, the voters Of the State
Of New York, have sent to Albany. It
remains for US to abide by the plainlk
voiced decision Of our representatives.
Certainly the vote in itself bears
weight to the suspicion that these Ave
Socialists are pledged to the armed
overthrow of established government.
If they are suspected Of being in
favor Of violence. should they be al
lowed to legislate for and take part
in the very government they are
pledged to overthrow by FORGET II
this supposition is we'll founded and
evidence bears out the fact that these
five are connected In any way with
the radical party, then all honor Is due
to the New York Assembly for ex-
cluding Ave men, however small Q part
Of the Assembly they may be, from
taking part In the lawmakinr Of the
state.
On the other hand, If these duly
elected representatives are Socialists
and nothing more or less, then it be-
hooves the Assembly to apologize to
them and to seat them with all the
dignity and good feeling the occasion
may permit.

tions Of such party, since life is not
wholly satisfactory to any one o.. US.
Then, too, there is the historical SYM
pathy we have ingrained in US, due to
the fact that our libarties, such as they
are, have been won by parties in
protest against strongly intrenched
powers.
1t is natural enough that the first In
