The mutter of distant fall
Becomes a priests soft-chanting
voice
In this church-dim, wood-bounded
place.
Moss-tapestried,
The granite wall
And column trunks arise
To Gothic-arching roof
Leaf-tracery on blue.
The ghost flowers frail,
Adoring, bend their sanity heads,
White-capped, white-robed,
And white-faced nuns.
But one, pink-blushed novice,
Looks without
A toadstool cavalier
Stands, orange-hatted, in the sun
While a great bee
Drones forth an organ tone

Where Are the Teachers :?

According to an estimate Of the
United States Bureau of Education
there will be shortage Of $4,000
high school teachers this fall. Re-
ports from the various states inai
cate that the elementary schools will
be similarly short when they re.
open.
The fact that teachers salaries
have not kept pace with salaries in
other lines is everywhere accepted
as the reason why the profession is
no longer attractive to the people
fitted to entersit. Not even the short
working week and the long summer
vacation offer enough to outweigh
the disadvantage Of under pay.
This is no doubt the principal rea:.
son that so few men take up teacH-
ing as a life work.

Poland's 8 Setback
the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In an editorial to-day, the 9th
entitled "Poland's Setback" The Trib-
une states "the Allied Council has done
little or nothing for her (Poland) since
the peace conference ended"
This statement is we'll calculated to
convey the impression to the superficial
reader that no assistance has been
given Poland by the Allies, and is evil
IDENTIFY inspired by the desire to enlist
sympathy for the continuation of the
Polish offensive.
General SHUTS is responsible for the
statement that Poland, starving, is kept
going by foreign loans, making war on
Russia; that French missions and
American munitions apparently enable
Poland to carry on her offensive.
Further, notwithstanding the great
shortage in railroad equipment, the
government has refused to deny that
we have supplied Poland with 4,600
freight cars, in addition to 3,500,0Oo
pounds of beef and 100000 pounds
OF oleomargarine. To these Supplies
should be added the $53.0OO.Ooo worth
of military equipment, including 1900
motor trucks, sold to Poland through
the Liquidation Commission in France,
which were paid for by Polish notes,
which amounts, as stated in the words
of Colonel Graham. Of the Liquidation
Commission, to this: "The Poles asked
for what they wanted and we supplied
the goods as requisitioned. When the
amount of the last note had been used
up in goods furnished, we called in the
Polish representatives in Paris and
asked them to sign new note"
"The Nation" states editorially that
our government has furnished the
Poles with 100000 worth Of war
supplies, accepting IN payment $780,
100000 in Polish notes.

Vice-Presidents IN the Cabinet

Vice-Presidents IN the Cabinet
It is good news that Senator Har-
ding has promised, if elected, to in
vite Vice-P President Coolidge to at
tend all Cabinet meetings. Such an
extension Of the Vice Presidents ac-
tivities is needed in order to restore
the office to it's proper dignity and
value.
The Vice President ought to be
more than a passive heir-apparent.
Presiding over the sessions Of the
Senate is no profitable occupation for
anybody of alert mind or stirring
temperament. 1t is monotonous
and lethargic assignment for pub
lie man. To use the Vice-P President
as Cabinet adviser and an inter-
mediary between the executive and
the legislative branch would make
him again a real influence in the
government and better fit him to dis
SuclSc IIlS OuClcS Ol CIlC IcSlQSIlCy
in case of the incumbent's inability
to discharge them.
President Mckinley advised very
frequently with Vice-President Ho-
bart, and often intrusted the latter
with confidential political missions.
But their cooperation was personal
and informal. Senator Harding does
better. He engages to recognize pub
licly the Vice-President's status as
an associate of the Administration
This is an important step toward
closer and more sensible relations
between the President and Congress.
The country has had one disastrous
illustration of the ill-effects of Pres
idential isolation and offishness. It
wants to profit by that lesson. Con-
gress and the Executive ought to get
together, and if the Vice-P President
is to sit in the Cabinet why shouldn't
members of the Cabinet also sit in
the Senate and in the House of Rep
resentatives?
New-York tribune., 1920-07-12

let for women Of education was ia
the schools. That is not the case
to-day. Moreover, men still enjoy
preference over women, in the public
schools, and this preference is more
unfair there than In any other field
where men and women compete for
the same positions. In many places,
too, marriage bars women from en-
tering or returning to the profess
sion. Under the circumstances it is
not to be wondered at that women no
longer care to teach II their talents
may be employed elsewhere.
The only way out Of the difficulty
is to remove the restrictions and in
equalities and to bring salaries for
both sexes up to q dignified and
worth while standard.

Southern Misrepresentation
We have received letter from the
secretary Of the Republican State
Committee Of Arkansas, Mr.. g.
L. Mallory, politely demonstrating
against q cutting down Of Southern
representation in national conven-
tions. This correspondent says truly
that in Arkansas there is real Re-
publican party, much stronger in
numbers than it would seem to be
from the Republican votes cast in
Congress and Presidential elections.
He complains that Southern Republi-
cans are Disseminated against in
state election laws, and suggests
that reducing Southern convention
representation. because Of such dis
elimination would be adding insult
to injury.
Such an argument appeals to
party sympathy, but it presents the
case from the wrong side. Is the in
terest Of the Republican party pro-
NOTED by allowing suppressed South
ern organizations over-representa-
ton? Are Republicans in the South
benefited by such over-representa-
tion? We cannot think that they
are. There are substantial Republi-
can organizations in Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma and
Arkansas These states make little
trouble in national conventions. They
take care of themselves. But in
South Carolina, Florida, Georgia,
Alabama, Louisiana and Texas the
party organizations are mere skele-
tons. They do not use the primary
to determine the wishes of the Re-
publican voters. The party opinion
If any-to which they respond is
manufactured by the leaders in the
fight for convention seats and privi-
leges. 1t would be foolish to impute
real representative character to dele
gates ordinarily offering credentials
from states like South Carolina,
Mississippi, Florida and Georgia, in
which there is only nominal Re-
publican electorate.
In order to protect itself the Re-
publican party is seeking to make
national conventions actually repre-
sentative of the voters. The real
Republicans in the South can help
in this by working to restrict mean
ingless representation from their
own section. They will benefit from
popularization of party control,
which, eventually, through the enact
ment Of a Presidential preference
primary law, may be extended into
states where primaries are now a
Democratic monopoly.

The 1918 Election
Total Republican Majority Vas
Nearly 10000


| To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I thought the Germans at Spa
were the only ones who didn't know
they were licked, but here is our old
friend, John J. Hopper, writing to the
papers:
at makes me tired to see the news
papers accept the statement as a fact
that the nation repudiated President
Wilson in the Congressional election
eff we had applied proportional rep
resentation in every state for the cleo
tion of Congressman in 1918 Wilson
would have been sustained and the rep
resentation in the House of Represent
atives would have been as follows:
Democrats, 231, instead of 1874; Repub-
licans, 1913, instead of 1885," etc.
Mr.. Hopper must get his figures from
the Horace Greeley campaign. The
returns from the 1918 Congressional
election show that the Republicans for
Congress received nearly 6,5O000O
votes, while the Democratic candidates
received only 5,750,O0O votes
If we are to have proportional repre-
sentation let US not confine it to state
boundaries. And if we confine it to
state boundaries let US apportion Con-
<rysn % Co. nm.
gress cast.
Six states in the UnioTi-Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina and Texas-send fifty-two
Congressman in open defiance of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the Constitution. No Republican
ticket is permitted in those states, and
no votes are counted against the Demo-
cratic ticket. Why doesn't that make
John j. Hopper tired?
And the 4th District in Tennessee
sent Wilson Congressman with only
GAS votes cast for him. He had as
much to say as the Congressman from
the 4th District if New York, who
had 10000 votes to fight for.
It will do no good to have proper
tional representation from the South
ern states. But if those states that
run their elections as Trotzky and
Lenine run theirs are only allowed
Congressman in proportion to the
votes cast in their elections we can
then begin to talk about fair elections.
The American voters, notwithstand-
ing the fraudulent vote of the Solid
South, cast a majority of nearly 10000
in favor of the present Congress and
against Woodrow Wilson. That was
the last order of mandate from the
American people.
at makes me tired" to hear an Eign-
teenth Amendment enthusiast rant
about the awful treason committed By
those who wink at its evasion. And YET
we go on year after year (for now
more than fifty years. openly violating
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments as if they were not part Of TIE
Constitution.
If the Constitution is worth while
let's mako it so.

Careless Summaries

To those who watched the work
of the New York City representa-
tives in the State Senat@during the
last session Of the Legislature, some
of the summaries of the records of
the city's Senators, as prepared by
the Citizens Union, are deficient.
The whitewash was used impair
TALLY, however, for the brush was
applied to Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans.
There's the summary" of Sena-
tor Burlingame jr., Republican, of
Kings. Of his legislation the Citi-
zens Union summary says: General
character of bills introduced was
high" Two of the bills introduced
by this Senator were characterized
as bad legislation and bad politics
by his Republican colleagues. One
would have nullifed the anti-rent
profiteering bills passed through the
efforts of Senator Lockwood, Repub-
lican, of Kings. Senator Burlin-
game refused to say where he get
his bill, but lobbyist for a powerful
group of landlords later admitted
that he furnished it.
Another Burlingame bill was de-
nounced by nearly all the Supreme
Court justices and the justices of the
Appellate Division of the 1st and
I'd Judicial districts. The Republi-
can county committees in the two
districts, with scarcely an exception,
also attacked the measure. 1t sought
to transfer Staten Island from the
I'd Judicial District, which also in
cludes Brooklyn and the rest of
Long Island, to the 1st Judicial Dis
trict, made up of Manhattan and the
Bronx. Tammany naturally backed
the Burlingame bill. It would have
added 1000 Democratic plurality to
Manhattan and the Bronx, and Tam
many would elect nine Tammany
men to the Supreme Court this fall.
A Tammany man whose "sufn-
mary" Of his record is also deficient
is Senator Salvatore A. Cotillo.
Earnest, sincere and often inde-
pendent" says the Citizens Union of
Cotillo. One Of the bills introduced
by Cotillo was defeated only through
the yeoman's work performed by
Colonel Ernest X. Coulter, founder
Of the "Big Brothers" and superin-
tendent of the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Children. This
bill attempted to legalize the admis-
sion Of boys and girls under sixteen
to motion picture theaters without
parents or guardians accompanying
them. A clause which provided that
a space should be reserved for the
children, to be in charge Of matron
to be approved by the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill
dren, caused the legislators to be-
lieve that this big child welfare or
ganization was behind the bill.
Newspaper dispatches from Albany
to this effect brought Colonel Coulter
on the scene, and the bill was eventu-
ally withdrawn by Cotillo,

New-York tribune., 1920-07-12
Austria's Share

Pan-Germanists affect to put the
major blame for the collapse of the
Central powers on what they term
the "treachery" Of Austria Hungary.
They are blind to the fact that the
wonder about the Hapsburg empire
was not that it did not hold out any
longer, but that it held out so long.
Bethmann- Hollweg said that the war
was principally struggle of Teuton-
dom and Slavdom. To make 26,OOO,-
600 of Slavs-half the population of
the Dual Monarchy-fght on the
Teuton side for four years and
half was no mean task. Consider
ing this handicap, the Germans
ought to acknowledge that their
brilliant second" put up good fight
as long as it was humanity possible.
Yet most Prussian critics are
wont to sneer at Austrian slackness
and ineficiency; the others strike
a note of condescension which is
even more resented by Austrian gen
erals and statesmen, who know that
they were doing their best. And al
though Lieutenant General Cramon,
who was chief German liaison officer
at Austrian general headquarters
from January, 1915, to the end, is
very much of Prussian himself,
he at least attempts in his recent
book, "Our Austro-Hungarian Ally
in the World War;" to do justice to
Germany's chief ally. Naturally, he
cannot help deploring Austrian re-
sistance to the plan Of "single COM
mand"; he is exasperated by the stiff
attitude of Konrad Won H0tzendorff,
the Austrian chief of staff, and very
bitter toward the young Emperor
Karl, whom he brands self-willed,
amateurish and tool in the hands
of his wife and mother-in-law. But
he makes it clear that instead of
the detection of Bulgaria and Aus
tria causing Germany's defeat, it was
Germany's military debdcIe which
precipitated the detection. He says
that the events Of the first week in
August, 1918, had crushing eff
feet" ON Austria, for "the belief that
Germany's power could work
miracles had such firm roots in the
minds of SO many people that when
they were undeceived it was COM
plete knockout blow"
This myth of German invincibil-
ity, fostered by German leadership,
did more than any other single fac
tor to stiffen up the resistance of the
German people and their allies. 1t is
not surprising that Cramon, like
most Of his fellow apologists, fails
to state that the cornerstone Of this
myth was the complete ignorance
to a degree which to-day seems al
most incredible-in which the Ger
man, Austrian and Hungarian peo-
pies were held concerning the Ger
man defeat on the. Marne-a defeat
which, in the Grown Princes words.
had sealed Germany's fate.
Yet Cramon himself knows how
to appreciate the significance of the
Battle Of the Marne. He even names
1t as one Of the two great calami-
ties suffered by the Central powers.
The other was the death Of the EN-
peror Francis Joseph, an event at
ter which "Austria-Hungary ceased
to be true in the fullest sense Of the
