have salable. value. Some sports
mon advocate the sale Of cock
pheasants, which they say can be
shot without endangering the breed
ing stock, as an additional in
centive. If it will result in more
pheasants it should be considered,
even though our experience in this
country under present conditions has
been the reverse.
The reparation which Germany
must make to France for game de-
stroyed includes between five and ten
million of pheasants and partridges.
The size Of the French covies shows
the possibilities of game production
where trespass laws are enforced.
In the past those interested in
the manufacture and sale Of arms
and ammunition have not always
fought on the side of more game.
But lack of foresight with respect
to our national resources has been
a fault common to us all, and we
are only beginning to learn the
great lesson of conservation. The
passage of such law will, we be-
lieve, very shortly produce money
for the farmer, an increased sale Of
guns and ammunition for the manu-
facturer, and more and better shoot
ing for the poor man as we'll as the
rich man, and the assurance that
our upland game will cease to fol-
low the trail of the passenger pigeon

tended that the treaty must be con-
sidered in a non-partisan way.
The Presidents tactics, not recog-
nizing this unacceptable fact, are
fatally defective. Though he should
win a partisan victory by the use of
the treaty issue, this will not secure
a fat acceptance of the covenant.
Will his party control thirds Of
the next Senate? Should this miracle
occur, even SO its stragglers would
be enough to prevent fiat ratifica-
tion.
So what's the use Of misrepresent-
ing Mr.. Harding? This does not con-
tribute to any sort Of acceptance Of
the Wilson league. "The Times," in
fact. if not in intent, is using its in
fluence to squeeze from the Wilson
league the vitality that remains with
it. 1t marches the covenant through
slaughter house to an open grave.

Probably we seem pretty chuckle-
headed to H. Sd a good deal of the
time. "Go on, Woodie, run out to
the Kitchen" we said. "We're going to
play bridge in here"
H. Sd looked up and smiled gayly.
Then he said, "Toot, toot!"
There didn't seem to be any sense
in that. We looked at him blankly un-
til it was explained that he loved to
hang around the drawbridge to listen to
the passing yachts signal for a fair
way. H. Sd had never heard of play
ing bridge before, but he Immediately
conceived it as a game in which the
participants sat around and said "Toot,
toot!" to each other. At that, it
wouldn't be bad game to while away
the time during the next cup race.
Some day we're going to figure out
why H. Sd always calls Alma Gluck's
record Of "Mon ceur s'ouvre a ia

Speaking of those in America who
profess to fear the possibility of a
Red revolution, Norman Hapgood writes
in his new book, "The Advancing Hour"
(boni Liveright):
"In this case, on the contrary, our
politicians and our newspapers have

myself have no love for the storm cel-
lar, but if l allowed myself diet of
exclusively American newspapers,
imagine might succumb to discourage
ment and seek standardized peace.
"Iago tells of a passion that doth
make the meat it feeds on The trag-
edy of all others in this snarl is that
our fears create the realities. First
we have fit in which we see Lenine
in every strike, Trotzky on every soap
box, wrecked civilization in every re-
form. AS a result of this delirium we
pass laws that combine inquisition with
punishment for mere opinion. We de-
port a man without q trial becI1se an
inquisitor has reached the conclusion
that this man calls himself an anar-
chist; that ne disbelieves in force as
a method Of bringing about the world
he dreams of, but that he looks for
ward to g remote future in which man
will be So changed that there will not
be even governmental force. We start
series Of political booms, including
booms for the Presidency, based on
this passion; each candidate wishes to
discover more Reds than any other
candidate and to make more noise
about it; prosecuting attorneys, legis-
lators and Judges sing epileptic patri-
otism, and George Bernard Shaw Is
justified in wondering why anybody
stays in America with free country
only seven days away"

err part of this Indictment. We think
that all the talk about the Red peril
is stuff and nonsense. We think the

which puzzles US in Mr.. Hapgoods
book is the manner in which he shifts

League and Wilson League

"The Times" discovers, or so pre-
tends, that "The Sun" and The Trib-
une differ violently and day by day
concerning their candidates attitude
toward the League of Nations"
1t quotes "The Sun" as saying:
Everybody knows where Harding
stands on the Wilson treaty and the
Wilson league" "He isn't going to
fiddle with it; he isn't going to touch
it. That's final" Then it quotes as
contradictory The Tribune's state
ment that nothing in the recent
speech of Mr.. Harding warrants the
assertion that the Presidential can
didate of the Republican party has
repudiated the league principle"
Here bob up the familiar features
Of an old acquaintance. With deli
cious illogicality our neighbor as
sumes that opposition to the Wilson
league is opposition to the League
of Nations principle. This baseless
assumption is frayed and worn.
Isn't it time to call it in? Even the
San Francisco platform comedies the
Wilson league, pure and undefiled,
won't do-that it needs coopering.
Mr.. Harding has been SO much for
a League Of Nations as to vote twice
for the Wilson plan with reserva-
tions whose reasonableness is ac-
knowledged everywhere except in
the White House. Does he repudi-
ate his own record? His platform
commends his course. Does he con-
denim it? Rather than have the
country suspended for years be-
tween peace and war he would in
sure peace first, leaving the league
matter to be settled later. But how
does this repudiate the league prin-
ciple?
= In its league discussions E~rhe
Times" like some others, is singu-
larly inattentive to the fact that the
passage of a peace resolution and
the ratification of treaty are on a
different footing. A President and
a bare majority of the houses OF
Congress can pass the former, but
two-thirds Of the Senate is indis-
pensable to the latter. Mr.. Harding
if elected. may have a majority of
both houses with him. But he will
not have with him two-thirds of the
Senate. He can scarcely promise
ratification with reservations with
sincerity. Mr.. Cox may promise, but
he cannot deliver, and he knows it.
Moreover, with respect to treaties,
especially one charting a new ma
tional policy, Senators tend to vote
personal convictions. Because no
party controls two-thirds of the Sem
ate, or will, and because Senators
refuse to weir halters are reasons

4 School for Negroes
4 Persuasive Appeal for Funds
From KoS 1lied. Ala.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May I through The Tribune
make a brief statement and appeal to
its readers, many of whom are friends
of negro education
Among the small schools in the
South that have done and are doing
good elemeetary school work for the
negro is Kowaliga School, of Kowaliga
Community, in Elmore County, Ala.
This school was founded by William E.
Benson in 1896. It's primary aim was not
and is not 10 train teachers nor fin
ished tradesmen, but rather to estab-
lish an educational, social, religious and
industrial center within reach of the
hundreds of boys and girls who viii
possibly never be able to leave the
farm and go any great distance away
from home to get an education.
It's training is Christian, but unde-
nominational. instruction is given in
the grammar grades and manual train
ing, along with agricultural and domes-
tic training.
1t is located fifteen miles out from
any city or railroad. Of the two hun
dred children enrolled last year not one
was from town or city, and they were
probably not third of the children Of
the community.
To do its work the school has
splendid little plant, consisting of
farm of 120 acres of land, livestock in
good condition, and fair equipment OF
farm tools and implements for the farm
work. The farm is producing much of
what we need to live on, and is being
managed in such way as to become in
creasingly productive. There are four
main buildings and several smaller
ones, all fairly well suited to their
purposes.
The affairs of the school have been
so managed that it has no debt. 1t
operates on the budget plan and has
kept within the budget, though pinched
severely at times to do so.
The school is dependent for support
wholly upon voluntary contributions.
Nothing is done for it by the county
or state. / am in the city now trying
to raise the funds needed for the next
years work.
The budget includes $1,000 for nor
NAL current expenses and $4,000 for
repairs and improvements that are ur-
gently needed and that we hope to
make before school opens again.

"the leader of liberalism to-day" We
wish Mr.. Hapgood, or any other self
styled liberal, would point out just
how it is possible to swallow Mr.. Will
son and spit out Mr.. Palmer. We
know of only three theories for Mr.
Palmer's continued tenure of Office
The first is that the President ap-
proves of his methods and his beliefs.
The second is that Mr.. Wilson fears to
ask for his resignation for political
reasons, and the third is that Mr.. Will
son does not know what his Attorney
General is doing. The fight ought to
disqualify Mr.. Wilson as Ii. eral, and
the last two explanations are much
more disgraceful than the first.
What books do men on a United
States destroyer read? We don't
know. We have yet to observe any
member of the crew of the Semmes en-
gagged in such leisurely pursuit as
reading, but we have found the fol-
lowing books in the wardroom library:
"The Count of Monte Cristo," "The
Book of Common Prayer" "The Little
City of Hope" by Marion Crawford;
Don Quixote," "Bleak House." "Bar-
naby Rudge," "The Kings Own" by
Captain Marryat"; Lorna Doone,"
THE Woman in White "Silas Mar
ner," "Heresies of Sea Power"
Cassells illustrated Shakespeare;
"Modern seamanship," "a Student in
Arms" Uncle Toms Cabin" Tolstoi's
"War and Peace" Count Robert of
Paris" John Halifax. Gentleman" ="
Tales of the Argonauts." the Bible,
and Mahan's "Sea Power in Relation
to the War of 1872"

The cryptic statement, eve are old
fashioned enough to say two and two
are five" which appeared in the last
book column, was intended to be "two
and two is five" This is a quibble,
but still preferable we think on the
ground that the subject is the en-
tire proposition, rather than two COM
ponent parts, and therefore singular.
Two times three is six, and just so
two and two makes four. or five if
you like. At any rate, that's the way
we were taught.

Remarkable Dramatic Production Will
Be Given at Middlebury Church

"The India Mass Movement Pa
geant," showing how the caste system
is being broken down and whole vii
lagos under the leadership of their
Mayors are seeking Christian baptism,

have served as missionaries in India
for number of years and are intimate

that country, assisted by Is or 20 stu
dents from the college.
The production will be presentation
of the astounding movement of the
native masses of India toward Chris
tianity, with a setting of the native
life, modes OF dress, customs and su-
perstitions of the people. The Raja
Yisu Ava song, which has had a tre-
mendous influence in the Christianiza-
tion of India, will be sung in the YER
nacular by the players in costume
grouped about the village Chaudhri,
and there will be added touches which
the directors themselves are able to
give because of their intimate knowl- |
edge of the mannerisms and habits of
the people of India.

of the American National Bank of
Kansas City. In 1894 he entered the
hotel business in New York, and the
