The Democratic ADVANTAGE

The San Francisco convention, as
it embarks on selecting a candidate,
finds itself possessed of the strategic
advantage it has enjoyed since the
holding of real elections in one sec
tion of the country ceased, forty four
years ago.
The South is still solid except for
dents made on it's edges. The Re-
publican organization must fight for
every inch of ground. The Demo-
cratic party begins with third of
the Electoral College conceded to it.
Not a speech need be made or a
dollar be spent. Habit rules. The
label is sufficient. The South cares
not at all what is in the container.
Individuals of the South care, many
are ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and long
to have the embargo on elections
lifted; but the section. asks no qucs-
tions. Be the platform free trade or
protection. gold Or ailvsa, wat or dry,

The Interchurch Drive

The collapse Of the interchurch
drive is regrettable, but it can hard
ly be called surprising. If any word
has ever become better hated in these
United States than the word "drive"
we cannot recall it. To be sure, the
colleges generally succeeded in their
recent drives; but they were work
ing upon definite body of gradu-
ates, easily card-catalogued ard ap-
preached and owing definite obliga-
tions.
1t is no reflection upon human
nature or the spirit and purpose of
the interchurch drive to say that it
made no such appeal. The sum
sought was gigantic. The appeal
was general in terms and difficult to
bring home to the individual. Or
ganization was lacking to make a
house-to-house canvass, and only sub
scriptions upon ti,is UNIVERSAL scale
could yield SO vast a sum. When the
Salvation Army failed even to secure
its modest demand for $1O,00O,0O0
the interchurch plea for more than
billion could scarcely hope for sue
cess from the much-harried Ameri-
can pocketboolls.
Does the failure carry any signif-
cance of a, decline in religious power
and influence? We think not. The
interchurch ideal is a splendid one,
but, like nternationalism, it is still,
to most people, too vague in it's pur-
pose and too loose in it's bonds to
have practical drawing power.
Union Of spirit is certain to grow
with the years, but it is likely to
come gradually and in the heart of
man first and in outward organiza-
ton thereafter.

Popular Bad Works

For sheer cleverness there is prob
ably no woman's mind in England at
the present time to surpass that
possessed by Miss Rebecca West. A
greater poetic imagination belongs to
Alice Meynell, and there are doubt
less ADLER minds in many special
lines. But for sheer acuteness of
analysis and biting accuracy of
phrase the literary notes by Miss
West appearing in "The New States
man" have no rival.
Miss West has a knack for smart
ness that might be called her weak
ness. AS when she remarked of a
certain hopeless novel under con-
slderation that lit is bright and
pretty, the literary equivalent of a
cheerful wall paper But most of
the time Miss West pursues the truth
more calmly and plainly. Not merely
smart speech, but the soul and
summary of how many typically
dull novels are in the one sentence:
"ln these novels there is nothing but
the quiet functioning Tf self-satis
fled mediocrity"
She proceeds in this particular ar
ticlc to make her large point, which
is that really popular bad work is
rare stuff. An attractive bad book
is just as rare as an attractive good
book, Miss West remarks. A Gym
thia Stockley and Victoria Cross
are not to be found on every tree
any more than a Harold Bell Wright,
we in America might echo. In fact,
Miss West continues, they are "as
solitary in their brightness among
the myriads of undistinguished
lurid writers as Mr.. Bennett or Mr..
Wells are among the myriads of un-
distinguished seenlly writer's" The
truth is that only certain rare quail

The Northern Crown
70 the Editor of The Tribune.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At this time of the year it Is Of
interest to look for the constellation Of
the Northern Crown This Northern
Crown is also known as Corona" and
for beginners in astronomy it is inter-
esting to search for Corona Borealis.
Those of US who have studied the dark
cned skies for years may also study
and admire anew this small starry cir
Gle sparkling more than halfway from
western horizon to zenith, when the
clocks of New York City are Ginning
the hour of 10. The Northern Crown is
situated fundamentally eastward of the
very bright sun Arcturus, the constella-
ton just under it being the Serpent.
1t is formed of six fairly noticeable
star gems, the brightest Of these gems,
at the bottom, being named Alphecca.
OF course, all of these six suns are situ-
ated trlllions and trillions of miles from
New York, and since it takes their
rays about one year to traverse six trll-
lion miles of sidereal space we begin TO
get very inadequate idea of how re-
mote these six suns really are.

Money in Primaries

10 the Edltot of The Tribune.
Sir: From your June "a editorial.

others preceding it, it is plain that no
one in the editorial fraternity sees,
or at any rate no one has as yet voiced.
the true reason for the public being
shocked at the use of money in the
Wood and the Lowdcn pre-convention
campai igns.
1t is not a question of the corrupt
use Of money; for in the Wood case,
at least, not even his opponents dare
suggest it, But it is an entirely diff
ferent point, and l shall use your own
illustration of its costing $3oooOO to
buy single postcard to be mailed TO
an electorate of thirty million people
in the United States.
The point is this: If man is so
little known to his countrymen in the
United States that they have to be edu-
Gated in fortnight as to his good
qualities and as to who and what he Is.
by postal card, he is not man of
Pres dential size.
Conversely, if he is not Of Presiden-
tlal caliber, no amount of postal cards
can transform him into a suitable cam
didate.
Furthermore, on such a basis what
would hinder the friends of John Smith
from lifting that gentleman from his
obscurity by a postal card campaign
telling us what good citizen is John
Smith, his being a pillar of the church,
q kind neighbor, that he sold I.ibe rtv
bonds, fought in the war and once
rescued child from drowning. For all
Of which good and sufficient reasons
We are asked to make John Smith head
of the nation.
No; unless the man is sufficiently we'll
known, not to need the postal cards
he is not big enough for the office. And
if big enough for the Office postal cards
are not needed. Therein lies the crux
of the objection to the Leonard Wood
preliminary campaign. 1t lost to him
the nomination and to US a good Prcsi-
dent. J. L. TINDALE.

League Of Nations or aloofness. is
all the same.
The party bears the name Demo-
cratic. 1t is the most undemocratic
political organization known to any
Western country. Its present chief
has talked much Of the sacred right
of self-determination. He must sell
dom look from tho White House win
dows to the Virginia hills. But
what a row he would have raised if
in Denmark or Silesia or the Adri-
attic region any enc had suggested
that should depend on complexion!
1t is difficult to believe that the
President ever thinks realistically
ever checks his preachments against
the conditions of which he and his
party are benefciaries. AS he writes
noble words it cannot be his mind
dwells on the contradiction between
profession and practice. If it did he
could scarcely escape crying out that
he would not countenance gross hy-
pocrisy, and that his party must
cleanse itself before daring to claim
it is concerned about making the
world safe for democracy.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Ones imagination is sharply
struck by the quotation of a corre-
spondent in to-day's issue: "In spite
of the clergy, still believe in God"
Being an advertising man, that proves
again the possibility of line of goods
selling itself, despite a non progress
slve campaign.
Having been Jared loose from the
Church by the threadbare customs
within it, am impressed by the
thought that, presented with the
easiest and most acceptable Zine"
vailable-salvation and eternal happi-
ness-the representatives of the or
ganization of Christ have developed
into collection of the poorest sales
men in the world.
Instead of finding out what you and
| want, how you and l want it, when
and where and how to approach US;
instead of spending some time on the
extensive group of prospects and
studying their market with the inten-
slve and exhaustive zeal of the mod
ern selling organization, they are con-
tent to be seated on the curbstone,
with their wares surrounding them in
Russian bazaar style, hoping that you
and l will pass by and stumble over
their baskets.
In modern selling we save no effort
that might serve to alter the prospects
mind. But the salesmen of the Lord
persist in pacing the roads with tray
and bell
Men with but a fraction of the in
tellect of the average clergyman can
sell me toothbrushes, shoes, underwear
and watches. Clergymen, with a pre-
ponderance of gray matter, make it
necessary for me to struggle to buy
something I want and need one hun
dred times more than other things it
is now impossible for me to avoid
buying.
The Church fails because its sales
men don't know their market.

ties In noticeable excess can COM
mand the interest Of thousands:
"An author Is not a best seller by
accident. One may deny Miss Marie
Corolli and Mr.. Hall Caine common
sense or any quality associated with
fully developed adult intelligence, but
one must admit that they have an
exuberance Of fancy which might de-
light persons too lethargic and un-
taught to enter the world of imagi-
nation. And there is in the works
of Mrs. Florence Barclay and Mr..
Charles Garvice placid, kind vital
ity which leads the reader on from
one shooting incident to another in
support Of n foolish and comfortable
theory uf the universe. Exuberance
and vitality, qualities than which
none arc rarer, inspire popular bad
work, just as they inspire popular
good work"
This question Of vitality, Of snuz-
zle velocity, is too often overlooked
by the wiseacres of literature. Writ
ing popular bad book is not the
easy task it seems. A large slice df
immortal life must go into the worst
best seller--however horribly it may
be mangled. Popular taste has an
infallible scent for just this factor
of vitality. If Miss West could
only furnish the publishers some
infallible test for measuring it in
advance! Taking more chances
might succeed. But Miss West will
deceive no publisher as to the fact
that it is a chance. After all, a book
is essentially like a play. 1t is not
really complete until it faces an
audience. 1t is not a book until it
is actually in print and lying before
the readers bored eyes and seeking
to bestir images in his brain. Then
and only then can its vitality be
tested, for only then does it actually
begin to live.

To the Editor Of The Tribune

10 tne E0ltOr or The Tribune
Sir: The latest reports from our es-
teemed Mayor, according to the papers
are that he would rather 60 to jail than
allow the people of Staten Island 70
pay 10 cents carfare
Perhaps this worthy individual is not
aware of the fact that it does cost 10
cents to ride from st. George to MID
land Beach. In the good old days when
the traction companies were operating
this trip cost but five cents. Now, de.
spite the slogan of our Honorable
Mayor, one rides from ST George 10
Midland Avenue, to a point about mile
from Midland Beach. Here he is dumped
out of the jouncing jitney. enters an
other Red Mike Special, and at the end
OF his destination pays another fare
Does Mr.. Hylan know what rash
statement he made when he said he
would rather be jailed, ETC.? Thousands
of commuters from the vicinity of Grant
City, Midland Beach, Woodland Beach
and neighboring resorts have been
forced to pay this double fare Mr..
Hylan apparently attends to his job,
but if he would investigate these con-
ditlons and at the same time let the
people of Staten Island have decent
transportation facilities New York's

The Presidents Illness

Homer S. Cummings is close
friend of the President. The open
ing speech at San Francisco was
read and approved by Mr.. Wilson.
1t IS therefore unlikely that Mr..
Cummings was merely striving for
rhetorical emphasis when he said:
The Congress was in session for
months while the President Law in
the White House, struggling with
terrifying illness, and, at times,
close to the point of DEATH"
Mr.. Cummings complained of the
failure of Congress "to pass one
resolution Of generous import or ex-
tend one kindly inquiry as to the
fate of the President" Yet he must
have realized how lacking in sub
stance that complaint is. Neither
Congress nor the country ever knew
that the President was desperately
i'll. They were left ignorant of his
condition. Mr.. Cummings tells US
now that this condition was far more
critical than it was ever admitted.
Those who were in charge of
the President steadily labored to
avoid any inquiry by Congress or
individuals as to his state of
health. The medical reports told
little. The impression was con-
stantly given that the President was
only slightly incapacitated and that
he was always strong enough to be
consulted en- public business. In the
Lansing correspondence the Presi
dent himself bitterly resented the
idea that thera was any need for
Cabinet meetings or for delegating
to anybody authority to make deci-
sions in his place. $50

chilled by the secrecy and camou-
f1age practiced by the Presidents S

Wilson's illness. When Senator
Moses wrote letter suggesting the
nature of the trouble he was accused
of gross and unfriendly exaggera-
tlon. He was attacked as a malig
nant and ghoulish enemy. Yet he
couldn't have been very far wrong
if Mr.. Cummings's present admis-
sions are taken at face value
If the Senate had passed resolu-
ton of sympathy or inquiry it would
certainly have been accused of trv-
ing to annoy and embarrass the
President. If Congress seemed cold
and the country also seemed cold,
that was due inevitably to the veil
of mystery thrown over his illness
and to attempts to represent him as
competent to do what, apparently,
had to be done for him for long
time by others.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-01
In, but Not Too Far

In his first speech, a four minute
ona made into the cold ear of talk
ing machine, Senator Harding an
,swered questions which have rained
in on him.
Is he for a league to preserve
peace?
Yes.
= He would shirk no duty. He would
respond to any just call He urged
action at great crisis while others
were tardy and talked neutrality
when righteousness raised pleading
hands to us.
Is he for a surrender of our ma
tional liberty of action and obedi-
ence to a council Of foreign powers? ?
No.
He would trust future Americans
as our forefathers trusted us. He
would cling to the Constitution and
have Congress. speaking in behalf
of the people, the only power able
TO commit us to the waging of war.
He properly regards as an aspersion
the assumption that America will
p fail in an hour Of need.
Nationalism and internationalism !
The two are able to exist side by
side, the first the pillar of the sec
port of the nation. The century of
Great Britain's most beneficent in
fuence for peace was the nineteenth,
when she avoided express agree
ine}ts to act.
=, Now that American aloofness is
gone, never to return, may it not be
that we shall serve the best by being
IN, but not too far in?
New-York tribune., 1920-07-01
A Governments Owned Press

lndulglng his passion for politi-
cal innovation and half truths, Mr..
Bryan includes in his platform a
proposal for a. national bulletin. 1t
is to be published by the Federal
government under bipartisan control
and to be furnished free to all gov
ernmental employees and at a nomi-
nal cost to subscribers. The contents
are to summarize the governments
business, with important documents
carried in full.
Supporting this idea, Mr.. Bryan
argues that privately owned news
papers are inevitably biased and
often represent predatory interests.
Filtered through one or both of
these, he contends that political
truth is diluted; is sometimes re-
duced, he declares, to as little as one
half Of per cent. Why this pre-
else percentage IS mentioned is not
stated. 1t would have been no more
difficult to write miilionth of per
cent.
To the proposal there is an easy
answer. 1t is Creel During the
war the government had bulletin
spent millions on it. Its bias was as
degrees. 1t became scandal. The
Administration used it to mislead.
Probably any administration would
do the same if it had an organ.
The modern newspapers selection
of news is never what any reader
would precisely have. 1t can't pub
lish everything, with print paper at
present prices. Its conductors make
their best guess concerning what is
interesting. Experience has taught
them that the practice of publishing
documents is a quick way to suicide.
The public decides what it wants by
its pennies.
So far the press is free. 1t is still,
as it always has been, critic. 1t is
still a priest in the temple of that
unlocalized ruler called public opin-
ion. 1t is servant of no political
power. Editorially it judges, but
with arrogance and egotism tenn
pered by sponsibility to readers
whose confidence must be retained.
Government ownership of news
papers would make the continuance
of the Republic doubtful If there
were no organization and expression
OF public opinion free government
could not function. Presidents, gov
ernors, congresses, legislatures and
tho like are the arteries of democ-
racy, but public opinion is the heart.
1t furnishes the pulsating, life-giv-
ing stream of energy.
There are faults, of course. All
good things have their counterfeits.
But we don't refuse all money be-
cause some is bad or burn down a
hospital because of leak in it's roof.
From governmentedited news
paper, even though dedicated TO 100
per cent truth-telling, may gra
clous fate save us, for it would not
be free, and unfree it would be a
pest.
