simpler contest and a more interest
ing race If it was boat for boat, but
to have race Of this character
which would mean requiring that
both boats had the same water line
length and placing no other restric-
tons on size--would produce freak
racing machines Of huge overhangs
and rigs by the side Of which Sham
rock ~ and Resolute would be stall
wart seagoing ships.
Such was the tendency of yacht
designing until the modern handicap
rules were devised which fix the rae
ing length of a yacht by taking into
consideration various measurements
in addition to water line and thus
penalize the designer who on a given
water line length attempts to gain
speed by freak model. Such a rule
is the only possible method by which
yacht racing can give designer a
legitimate opportunity to improve
design and yet keep the development
Of yachting along wholesome, sea-
worthy lines.

Leveling Railway Wages

The point of most immediate in
terest with respect to the award of
the Railway Wage Board is whether
the employees will accept.
The new wage scale is not agree
able to the higher paid members of
the railway operating staff. These,
even with the new increase, are not
relatively as we'll off as in 1915.
For example, passenger engineers
five years ago received on an aver
age S2,141 year, and with the new
advance are to receive about $500.
The increase over 1915 is thus nearly
so per cent. On the other hand, Sec
ton hands received $454 in 1915, and
are now to get $3.50, or an increase
of approximately 40 per cent in the
five years.
Throughout the list the compensa-
ton of those of small pay has gone
up faster than that of the higher
paid. Within the railroad ranks
has occurred a notable readjustment.
The unorganized, who constitute 80
per cent of the railway army, have
prospered more than those who are
organized.
1t is the distribution rather than
the meagerness of the S600,000,000
raise which has caused the dissatis-
faction of the brotherhood members.
In the old days the railroads, to
avoid bankruptcy, squeezed the I'M
organized to find money to satisfy
the more powerful and clamorous.
Those who hold that in the long run
organization does not affect wages
and that a better reliance is in the
law of supply and demand may point
to the fact that the section hand has
done better than the engineer as
most significant.
The agitators will, of course, do
what they can to fan the dissatisfac-
ton of the members of the brother
hoods into active revolt. Assuming
that the 1915 discrimination was
just and ignoring the fact that the
neglected 80 per cent of railroad en-
ployees were entitled to be taken
care of first, figures are quoted
showing there is not a fair deal now
that the cost Of living has gone up
more than wages. 1t is the practice
Of few to consider whether or not
the meeting of their demands is at
the expense of fellow employees in
complicated industry. The super
stition prevails that it is at the sole
expense of owners profits. SO in the
present instance the leveling which
has been a factor since the railroads
passed under public management
will be little emphasized.

Coolidge and Morrow

1t is hopeful sign for the Re-
publican party that Governor Nor
row of Kentucky has been chosen
to speak at the notification cere-
monies Of Governor Coolidge.
Here will be Kentucky greeting
Massachusetts. Here will be one
able, young Republican Governor
shaking hands with another Repub-
lican Governor of the same general
specifications. Both Coolidge and
Morrow were little known to the
country at large a year or so back.
Both are national figures to-day
Both are coming men in our national
politics.
The Tribune welcomes this recog-
milton of the new ability in the Re-
publican party. An organization
that does not constantly attract and
develop new men of power and in
tellect must inevitably decline and
decay. A party is as strong as its
strong men and no stronger.
The most unfortunate effect of
the Progressive movement was to
ALLEVIATE from the Republican party
many of the younger generation
who would naturally have joined
the party of Lincoln and Roosevelt.
1t is the task Of the wise heads of
the party to reunite these men with
the organization. This task cannot
be accomplished by lip service.
There must be men in power in the
party whose political ideals are
those of the younger Republicans.
Fortunately these men exist
Governors Coolidge and Morrow are
conspicuous examples. The happy
joining of their names in the coming
ceremonies touching the Vice Presi-
Dental nomination will be observed
and applauded by host Of young
voters, men and women, who are
eager to vote for a Republican party
that combines the wisdom of the
past with the hopes of the future.

Titan and World Shaker

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l cried like a child as / read
81 wish that every American present
could have been a silent witness to
the meeting between these two great
men," the words of F. D. Roosevelt
referring to the Titan, Wilson, and the
Notwithstanding Cox.
Every American present must have

welt wish that every American present
could have been a silent witness? Or
what does Mr.. Roosevelt mean? Or
does he mean anything?
And Mr.. Cox promises that he will
carry out all of Mr.. Wilson's promises,
if elected. Why Wilson's? Which is
the candidate, anyway-Cox or Will

why? Or does complete harmony"

Pretending and Doing

Candidate Cox is wasting time,
presumptively valuable, preparing
statements expressing concern lest
America fail in her duty to the
world. The country, it would seem,
is in danger Of dishonor and of fall
ing into obloquy. The language is
not as rhetorical as the public has
been accustomed to on this topic, but
we must not be too critical of be-
ginner.
Does Mr.. Cox really mean word
Of what he says? Or is he merely
playing with big words? Is his
solicitude for virtue merely to at
tract the votes of the easily gulled?
Answers to these questions are
furnished by events in Europe An
other war is being waged, and it in
wolves the integrity of the peace
treaty, whose non-ratihcation Mr..
Cox holds constitutes national
shame. Russia, for centuries Po-
lands oppressor, is again on the
march for Warsaw. The frontier of
the independent Poland as traced at
Paris has been crossed. Bolshevik
and anti-Bolshevik in Russia vie in
supporting this war.
If there is duty resting on us as
a war consequence it is the duty of
protecting Poland. But no hint
comes from either Washington or
Dayton that it is time to buckle on
once more the armor of altruism.
The Administrator is silent, and so
is its candidate.
The circumstance that we are not
formal signatory Of the Treaty of
Versailles, of course, makes no diff
ference with respect to moral obi
CATION A mandate binding on the
conscience may be defined, but it is
not created by bit of paper. What
we owe to Poland is antecedent to
and independent of any formal docu-
ment. If it is incumbent on us to
intervene in the war in Poland we
must act. We can't excuse ourselves
by talking Of treaties.
The Administration does nothing,

Dawn i'm Mexico

Senior Alvarado, Mexico's Finance
Minister, having arrived in New
York, tells what the new Mexican
government plans to do in order to
reconstruct its distracted country.
The program is an admirable one.
1t lays foundations for the most
amicable relations between Mexico
and the United States, and invites
foreigners and foreign capital
Americans and American capital
especially-to come to Mexico and
take part in important projects
Which the new government outlines.
Shipping companies are to be as
sisted to hasten the promotion of
American-Mexican coastwise COM
merce, Mexican harbors and rail
roads are to be improved and the
southern republics wealth of natu-
raj resources is to be opened up to
the world.
Most important of all is to be the
practical education of the Mexican
people. The new government pro-
poses to substitute honest work for
soldering. 1t is believed, given a
chance to choose, Mexicans will aban-
don banditry and will end the rev.
dictionary tendency which has torn
Mexico during ten years. To edu-
cate MeXico's submerged 80 per cent
means that younger generations will
grow up with an ability to think
something that Mexican poems have
not done for centuries. Once the
Mexican stomach is filled, General
Alvarado says, Mexico's troubles will
give way to peace and prosperity.
Once Mexico's government is purged
of rabid political strife, professional
politicians and graft, he is persuaded
1t Will begin to work for good. The
present government, he declares. is
the expression of moral force. and
Mexico will soon begin to see the
dawn.
Mexico has been a victim of theo.
rlsts. The ill-fated Madero, him
self educated and sincere, held that
in one leap, by mere decree, Mexico
could change into highly advanced
democratic nations IT couldn't be

Anti Wadsluorth Crusade
His Nomination Called an Insult I,
Every Woman in the Country

Every Woman in the Country
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In view of the coming convention
Of the Republican party at Saratoga
l want to register a strong protest
against the nomination by them of
James W. Wadsworth for United States
Senator.
AS one Of a large number of women
voting this fall for the first time at a
Presidential election, I have been wait
ing to see whether the Republican party
is going to close its ranks to the new
element in the electorate, and whether
it is to be completely dominated by its
reactionary members, as exempliied by
Senator Wadsworth.
What they propose is an insult to
every woman in the country Here is a
man who has consistently and deter
minedly held that women are not fit
to vote. and has constantly done every
thing in his power to prevent them
from voting. Even when his state gave
them the franchise by an overwhelming
majority he still used his position in
the United States Senate, given him by
his state, to prevent other states from
giving their women the vote
At this moment, he, more than any
other one man, is responsible for the
fact that the women of eighteen states
are still debarred from voting for the
next President. He has cost the women
not only Of his state but the entire
country hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in money and uncounted hard work
and heartache. Is the Republican party
now going to try to get these women
in the Senate?
Adding to this the fact that he stands
with the most reactonary forces in the
Republican party, that his election will
mean bringing William Barnes back
into power in the state, is the Republi-
can party still going to ask women to
vote for him? What will be their ap-
peal? No Republican can ask women to
vote for him in order to stand by the
party, for Senator 'Wadsworth has re-
peatedly Haunted his party on this
issue.
The fight that women will make
against his election, if he is nominated
will not be confined to Democrats and
independents, but will be led by Rcpub-
lican women, and it will not be a cam
paign; it will be n crusade.

done. Then Carranza, a strange
mixture of stupidity and stubborn
arrogance, became infected with Boil
shevism, or as much as a Spanish
don could be, and completed the
wreck. Another man of mere theory
was in power in Washington. Much
alike in their temperaments, the two
vastly irritated each other as they
carried on a wordy warfare, inter-
rupted from time to time by irregu-
lar hostilities.
How much good sense, courage
and sense of practically the new
regime in Mexico possesses no one
knows. All friends Of Mexico will
hope for the best, and especially that
she will have the determination to
permit no more foolishness.
Mexico is rich. Her people need
that her resources be exploited. The
outsider with capital and capacity
to manage and develop is the best
friend Of the Mexican masses. To
get this outsider in he must be given
a chance to make money and his in
vestments must be protected. The
fruits of the folly of a contrary
course are furnished by the waste
places, once cultivated and prosper
Gus, which afflict the sight of the
traveller in Mexico.

and it is safe assumption that it
does not intend to do anything, and
Mr.. Cox is we'll satisfied with aloof-
ness. That is to say, he talks one
way and his conduct is of contrary
tenor. He is victim of the vice
which Colonel Roosevelt regarded so
soul-killing-namely, the corroding
practice of making moral preten-
sions which are not intended to be
lived up to.
Don't let us loudly talk of our
heart and how it beats for mankind
as long as we turn over to Great
Britain and France the business of
graphing with the Red Terror and
take no practical interest in restor-
ing peace. Maybe this course is
wise and a proper one; but while we
follow it. aversion to hypocrisy de-
mands that we do not brag too much
of supreme allegiance to spiritual
commissions

ResoIute's Day

There was true wind yesterday
and enough of it to bring lee rails
awash, and it can fairly be said that
Shamrock " and Resolute had their
first true test from start to finish.
incidentally, it was supposed to be
Shamrock weather-enough wind to
get her down to her bearings and not
enough to raise an unpleasant sea
and set her flat bows to splashing.
The result confirms the early opin-
ions of the experts and leaves little
doubt Of the relative merits Of the
two boats on a windward and lee
ward course. The Resolute is the
better to windward, boat for boat,
and Shamrock is the better running
before the wind. 1t is the windward
leg that counts most, however, for
its zigzag course involves far more
sailing. On such a course the race
is anyhody's, boat for boat. Which
is to say that the Shamrock " can
not possibly give Resolute the heavy
time allowance which her larger di-
mansions oblige her to give.
There remains the question of a
triangular course, in which only ten
miles are to windward and the other
two legs are reaching and running.
To-morrow's race is of this charac-
ter, and it probably offers Shamrock
her last chance to win, leaving flukes
and accidents aside. Tuesdays tri-
angular race included not even ten
miles Of windward work, owing to a
shift in the breeze after the course
was laid down. And Shamrock did
her best under these conditions,
which let the boats sail with sheets
we'll started throughout.
Predictions are impossible under
any such fluky conditions Of weather
as are now prevailing off the Hook.
But the original guesses hold good.
On windward and leeward course
Resolute is an easy winner. On a
triangular course of which ten miles
are sailed to windward Shamrock
Nv ought to finish with clear lead,
but that she can overcome the seven
minute handicap seems most I'M
likely, luck eliminated.
But luck has been the prevailing
factor in the races thus far, and it
may well decide the fate of the cup.
Shamrock is still a race to the good
and needs only one more victory.
Resolute has long way to travel
and the historic behavior of her
throat halyards is still fresh in
everybody's mind.
incidentally the landlubber's COM
plants about time allowance ought
to cease, at least until he under
stands the reason and object of this
handicap. Briefly, Shamrock " is
obliged to give q time allowance to
Resolute because she is the bigger
boat. A number of measurements,
including sail area, enter into this
question of size under the rules
agreed upon. But there can be no
doubt of the fairness of such a ham
dicap, 1t would undoubtedly be- q

What The Railroad Man Gets
Increase Since 1915 Is From $3.50 to 81 900, Auer-

adds slightly $500 to the present average annual
compensation of all railroad employees which, the
