ton, cannot be returned to present
day Hungary, which is kingdom,
though without king.
The people of PEGS then proceeded
to set up a National Council, whose
authority, it was assumed, derived
from the National Council of Ka-
rolyi's days. The proclamation of
an independent republic now comes
as the climax of this curious side
show Of the Danubian arena.
The Republic Of Baranya is not in
tended as a permanent establish
ment. 1t will doubtless reincor-
porate with democratized, regen-
crate Hungary. In the mean time it
is hardly likely that Horthy will
dare to attack the little republic; he
has too much trouble at home. A
raid on PEGS would involve the Mag
var White Army in war with Ser
bia and presently with Czecho- Slo-
vakia and Rumania.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-10
Words and the Man

To any statesman other than Sec
retary Colby the situation to be faced
in Buenos Ayres would be embar-
RAISING. Charged by Mr.. Wilson with
the delightful duty of congratulating
Argentina upon her enthusiastic en-
try into the League of Nations, Mr..
Colby will reach that country just in
time to greet the returning Argen-
tine delegation with the rhetorical
equivalent of Naughty! Naughty!"
One can imagine how beautifully
the Secretary would have bent his
vocabulary to the grateful task of
expressing Mr.. Wilson's benign ap-
proval, with what artistry he would
have fashioned phrases whose very
sound would have been so convincing
as to make translation unnecessary.
But alas! he cannot do this in the
presence Of the miffed and seeding
delegates.
A less adroit orator would be
taken completely aback by the sud
den discovery that the address he
had in mind would be about as tact
full as speech congratulating the
Wholesale and Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association on the passage Of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Not SO Mr.. Colby. No situation
ever finds him unprepared. No
emergency can catch him off his
guard. A master Of words, he can
marshal them to plead the cause of
the Republican party, to kindle the
hearts of the Progressives against
the Republican party, or to inspire
unterrified Democrats to rise and as
sault both Republican and Progress
sive parties. We know that he can
do this, because he has done it.
And while it will be incumbent
upon his, by implication at least, to
inform the Argentinos that in run
ming out of the League of Nations
they have risked certain High Dis
pleasure, he may be counted on to
do it easily and in such a manner
that he will leave his hearers assured
of his distinguished consideration.

The Nation and the Schools

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In discussing Federal finance and
appropriations please publish the merit
OF the SmithTowner bill for a Cabinet
head (and Department. on education.
You have often, and most ably, shown
the weakness of our schools, as proved
by war and aggravated by the present
economic drift.
1t is time for Uncle Sam to give a
stronger helping hand to the schools.
The states need somewhat the same
sort of ordering and assisting in edu-
catlonal matters that the Federal Re-
serve act gave in banking matters.
With 70 per cent Of our budget for war
of one sort and another, per cent is
little enough for the living future of
our schools. If natonalism is the CON-
structive force we hope it is, education
Is ripe field for its best effort.

but, on the whole, if there Is to be
bossism, prefer that Of employers to
that of the arrogant czars Of the
miners organization.
On the other hand are the union
lists, who wage unceasing war on
them-demand that the unwilling
shall join in the class war and enlist
for the revolution: There is an
tagonism between two opposed po-
litical philosophers, and about once
so often the radicals march over the
hills to the Wingo district to compel
acceptance of their rule. When
they are opposed by the non-union
miners the rabid press is filled with
reports that the mine owners will
not allow their men their liberty.
In the struggle both sides, it would
seem, hit below the belt. Which is
the graver offender only those of a
preconceived opinion will presume
to say. But wherever lies the chief
fault for the disorders Federal
troops are seeking to suppress, it is
clear that the source of the trouble
is the refusal Of the unionists to
recognize the right Of others to
stay out of an organization they
don't like.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-10
West Virginia's "War"

Governor Cornwell of West Vir-
glnia is a Democrat in politics. In
personal origin he is the offspring
OF humble mountain home, and has
reasons for deeply sympathizine
with all workers for hire.
But he also is an American. and
as such would preserve inviolate for
the benefit of future generations
the privileges of free opportunity
which gave him his chance. For a
long time, doing his duty with no an.
plauding gallery looking on, he has
struggled to uphold Americanism
in his state.
The facts, although difficult for
an outsider to master in their de-
tails, are simple in their broad out
lines. The mining population of
West Virginia is Of two clements
first, the native American stock
and, second, those Of foreign birth
who have come into or been brought
into the state.
The first class, although probably
not opposed to unionism as preached
DO not like it as they have seen it
practiccd. They have quarrcls with
their bosses and seek high wages,

Baranya

The latest state to emerge from
the Central European debris is the
Republic of Baranya, situated in the
elbow formed by the confluence of
the Drave and the Danube. 1t is a
small state, but its international sig
nlficance is considerable, for the Re-
public Of Baranya is the protest of
a handful of Magyar patriots of the
purest stock against Horthy's regime
at Budapest.
After the armistice the county of
Baranya, with the city Of PEGS for
capital, vas occupied by Serbian
troops. The Treaty of Trianon
awarded the district to Hungary.
But the inhabitants, Mortified by the
reports Of bloodshcd and tyranny in
Hungary, refused to submit to the
award and asked for Serbian pro-
lection. This was granted on the
technical ground that Baranya had
been turned over to Serbia by the
Hungarian Republic, and, in accord
ancc with the desire Of the popula-

Returning Good Manners

Governor Cox's offer to appoint
Senator-elect Willis to serve out the
remainder of Senator Harding's
term marks a pleasant return to
political amenities, A Republican
Governor will be inaugurated in
Ohio early in January. He would
appoint Mr.. Willis to fill the va
cancy caused by Mr.. Harding's
resignation. Governor Cox is will
ing to anticipate that action, allow
,ng Mr.. Harding to retire at once.
1t is a courtesy whose spirit ought
to be recognized.
After President Clevelands sec
ond election in 1892 Washington
celebrated what was then welcomed
as a new era Of political good feel
ing. Cleveland gave Walter O..
Gresham, four years before a can
didate for the Republican Presi-
dental nomination, the chief place
in his Cabinet. He also declared
ban on the reappointment of office
holders under his first Administra-
ton. Partisan antagonisms were
relaxed for a time, this process be-
ing furthered by the situation in
Congress, whore the President had
to rely on Republican votes to Sc
cure the repeal Of the purchasing
clauses of the Sherman silver act
of 1890.
The last Presidential campaign
was embittered by the fact that the
Administration had shown lack
Of tolerance in attempting to en-
force individual and minority policies
on the country. Both before and
since his election Senator Harding
has stood for a larger measure of CO.
operation, reasonableness and COM
mon counsel. He has asked for less
acrimony and more friendly asso-
citation. 1t is agreeable to note that
the quality which he himself brought
conspicuously into the campaign is
producing its natural effects.
Governor Cox's help-along atti-
tude indicates happy reversal of
sentiment, which may go far toward
eliminating petty friction from
the relations between statesmen of
opposing parties, who now must get
together to solve our national prob
lens.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-10
The Hall of Disfame

Since the conscientious obiectors
are to have dinner in their honor,
why not monument as we'll? Vari-
Gus plans will be presented. We sug-
gest a Hall of Disfame as the most
comprehensive and fitting memorial.
The great hall could contain the
name of every objector whom Mr..
Baker treated with such special
courtesy. The white feather would
offer a natural theme in the archi-
tectural detail; the color scheme
would, Of course, be yellow. Among
the mural decorations would be a
picture of young Mr.. Bergdoll dig
glng for treasure in the hills of-we
forget just where, but the benignant
smile of warm-hearted Mr.. Baker
would be presiding over the occasion.
Those particularly precious young
gentlemen who got not only courtesy
but clothes and cash from Mr.. Baker
upon their discharge could be shown
marching away in pride. We could
not dream Of insulting Mr.. Rinteen
by including him in a slackers' me-
morial-he was a spy who did his
Job we'll. But the extraordinary
kindness and gentleness granted him
by the Administration suggests that
a small bust of him might be in
cluded as an example of Mr.. Bakers
ever alert efforts to save the enemy
from needless inconvenience.
The main statuary should be
simple. At one end we see Mr..
Baker in marble, dove alighted
upon either shoulder, and a gesture
of polite rebuke directed toward a
cannon's mouth at his feet. Facing
him, and at some distance, a statue
of a crippled soldier still waiting for
his vocational training would be
ample.

The Haytian Problem

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have read the letter published
IN yesterdays issue of The Tribune by
II. Z. Davis regarding the Haytian
problem. Mr.. Davis IS the representa-
tive OF an American corporation doing
business in Hayti and is large en-
ployer of Haytian labor Therefore his
opinions on local conditions ought to
be OF considerable value. Nevertheless.
Mr.. Davis, instead of giving a clear
cut statement, is decidedly contradic-
tory IN what he has to say. The evident
purpose Of his communication was to
convey the idea that all is we'll in
1aytl, that the marines have done moth
ing eprehensible, and that SO per cent
of the people of Hayti arc absolutely
contented with things as they are.
But IN the very middle of his letter
Mr.. Davis says: "The present deadlock
between the Haytian government and
the American treaty officials has
reached a stage which demands some
radical remedy, and if we hope to save
our face in Latin America a remcdv
should be administered quickly" Mr..
Davis in this sentence indicates a
change that is both necessary and one
which every intelligent Haytian citizen
wants to see brought about.

Books

You may inform Mr.. Charles Flan-
drau,' writes Castner Browder, "that
the first practicable typewriter, the
Remington No. /, was put into the
marts of trade in 1874.
History is silent as to when the fe-
male of the species first started to ma
nipulate the keys, but recollection of
the oldtimers is that it was in the ZOOS
before one could speak of q typewriter
and mean the girl who wrote on one."
But a nameless correspondent, who
called US on the telephone at a. m.
to break the news, informed us that the
first typcwrters seen in America we're
exhibited at the Philadelphia Centen-
NAL in 1876, and that year later the
Yost Company maintained front win
dow IN which two girls operated ma
chimes, much to the wonder and inter-
est Of all passersby.
Edith Wharton's The Age of limo
cence must already be up in the hun
dreds of thousands, for we remember
no book Of the last two years which
has provoked so many readers to COM
ment. Chiefly this comment is confined
to attempts to catch the author in er-
rors Of 1870 atmosphere, but the hero
inc, May, Of whom we spoke severely
in review, has some stanch defenders.
Our personal desire that Newland Ar
cher should have eloped with the
Countess Olenska has met no response
whatsoever. In fact, from the severity
of the replies which this opinion Of ours
has elected, we feel under grave sus-
picion of being a potential; if not an
actual, wife deserter.
Our friend Jack Doyle, who houses
most Of his big matches in his billiard
parlors on Broadway, writes: "While
you are picking flaws in The Age of In
nocence, do not overlook the one on
page 327. There may have been foun-
tain pens and typewriters in the '70s,
and mayhap some few folks did use
the term week end but l cannot stand
for people in Boston rushing in and out
Of the Parker House with the doors
closed in that torrid month of August
In that old caravansary they never
closed the front doors until we'll in
November"
Mr.. Doyle also remarks that the sub
stitution of Spargo to pinch hit for
Jones against Wells seems to him about
on par with sending Koob up against
. Walter Johnson.
Having recently assumed lofty at
tltude toward those who make it their
business to find small flaws in thc
printed word, we are shocked and
PANIED to be discovered and exposed bv

think you that you started the ball

We must admit that VIC were merely

II there were no theatrical productions
IN which shadows were cast upon tho
