Beginning Early

In another column The Tribune
publishes a letter from DR.. Fabian
Franklin which exposes an extraor-
binary forgery contained in the
platform reported to the San Fran
cisco convention.
The quotation from Senator Lodge
which is featured as showing that in
December, 1918, he regarded a sepa-
rate peace with Germany as crime
appeared, in fact, in June, 1918.
It referred not to conditions sub
sequent to the armistice but to I'M
derground efforts then afoot to in
duce US to abandon our allies while
the war was in progress. He was
making patriotic appeal for a
standing together until Germany
was beaten, and not to any covenant
or league which related to the
future.
The forgery represents a most
amazing blunder and shows the reck-
lessness of those assailing Senator
Lodge. 1t not only appears in the
platform, but appeared in the "key-
note" speech of Chairman Cum
mings. Whoever first put the inven-
ton af1oat should have known that
exposure would quickly come.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-07-03

official statements of appropriations.
They cannot be argued away. The
Administration never tried seriously
to economize. Secretary Baker
wanted Congress to authorize
standing army Of about 100000 men.
Secretary Daniels submitted enor-
nous estimates for naval construc-
ton. Congress lthorized stand
ing army Of abou- 100000 men and
kept naval construction within rea-
sonable limits. The Administration
would have increased tho floating
debt by more than $4,000, 000,0 900 il
it had had it's way. AS it is, the
fiscal year just ended will show only
a slight deficit, and there is a pros
pect Of a surplus of more than a
billion at the close Of the present
fiscal year.
This is showing which the plat
form makers were reluctant to face.
They say that the Republicans made
"a prediction record of pretended
thrift" But what kind of record
of thrift did the Administration
make? 1t is a painful subject.
Naturally the San Francisco plat
FORMS treatment of it is full of con-
straint and embarrassment.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-07-03
A Painful Subject

One Of the shiftiest parts of the
Democratic platform is that which
deals with economy in government
expenditure. The platform makers
couldn't openly charge the present
Congress with extravaganza, since it
spent much less than the Admins
tration urged it to spend. The best
they could do was to make a flank
attack on Congress by charging it
with failure to reduce taxes.
The last Democratic Congress
passed the tax laws which the Demo-
cratic convention now condemns as
oppressive. They are undoubtedly
clumsy and laundering in operation.
They will be amended and repealed
at the first safe opportunity. But
this Congress was faced with more
urgent task. That was to keep the
governments expenditure within it's
income. 1t wasn't prudent to repeal
existing taxes until the flood of war
extravaganza was checked. Congress
could check it only by squeezing the
water out Of the inflated estimates
submitted by the Treasury Depart
ment.
1t never had any help from the
Administration. Fortunately some
of the supply bills for 1920, pre-
pared by the preceding Democratic
Congress, were caught in the log
jam at the end Of the short session.
The new Republican Congress de-
flated them by $685. 100000. Then
the Administrations estimates for
1920-'21 came in. They totaled &c.
334 100000. Congress cut them down
to $4,S59, 900, 0OO-a saving of ST.
474,000,000. The saving for the two
sessions was s2,414 100000.

would not oppose and the reserva-
tons which the Republican Senators
have twice voted for are too slight to
constitute an issue. The only ques-
ton remaining, tho need of reserva-
lions being conceded, is whose
Judgment concerning details should
be accepted. Should we trust the men
who have been right on the main
issue or those who have been wrong?
In conclusion, The Tribune would
emphasize again that the treaty and
related matters are not properly
political issues. 1t reioices over the
prospect of eliminating them from
the campaign. Net only should poll
tics cease at the waters edge, bu,
there are grave domestic issues en-
titled t. undivided public attention.
The treaty controversy has been
long and trying. 1t will be good to
dismiss the subject until Congress
egain assemblies, when, perhaps, on
the basis of a common Americanism
and a common solicitude for peace,
the recent disputants, now in sub
stantial concord, may get together
in affirmative action.
The winning OF the fight for rati-
fication with reservations is not to
be esteemed party victory. 1t is
rather a victory for certain unassail-
able facts. 1t wholesomely shows
that the American people can be
trusted to think and act straight
when adequately Informed. Never in
our history has a more determined
and protracted effort been made to
confuse the public than during the
last fifteen months. 1t has failed.
Again is indicated the Lincoln say
ing that while you may fool all the
people some Of the time, and some of
the people all the time, you cannot
fool all the people all the time.

The Suffrage Procession

If Mr.. Harding has really sue
ceeded by his temperate and con-
siderate policy in converting Gov
ernor Clement Of Vermont he is en-
titled to file a deep notch on his oil
can and to claim that it is a more
conciliating instrument than ferule
or big stick. Vermont independence
as corporate in Governor Clement is
granite. Party pleas had little
weight with this rugged Governor;
for have not twenty-seven Republi-
can states ratified, as against five
Democratic, and how could delay in
one Republican state materially alter
so overwhelming a score?
AS the suffrage leaders learned
from sad experience in Delaware,
there is point in our American
system of state government beyond
which outside attempts to influence
action upon state matter react
against the persuaders Such
point was dangerously near in the
case of Vermont, for it is an open
secret that the Republican national
leaders have been urging the de-
STABILITY of an extra session upon
Governor Clement for months.
If Governor Clement now yields
to Mr.. Harding's friendly pleading
there should be no question of
prompt ratification that will insure
nationwide voting by women in No
vember. 1t is to be hoped that Ten
nessee also will ratify. The larger
the number of states ratifying, the
fewer loopholes left for constitu-
tional litigation.
From the Republican point of
view a final score of twenty-seven
Republican states to six Democratic
states-the remainder ratifying have
divided legislatures - ought to be
good enough. Having in mind the
almost solid opposition of the Demo-
cratic South to suffrage, the figures
represent fairly accurately the ratio
in which the two parties have con-
tributed to the success Of this great
progressive reform. A procession
rather than q race, it must be
agreed.

A Pell-Mell Primary

In letter in Wednesdays Tribune
J. L. Tindale says that, with respect
to primary funds the issue is not
whether they are corruptly expend-
ed; the point Of criticism, he con-
tends, is that any man so little
known as to need advertising is not
fit for the Presidency.
The argument is one sometimes
made against all forms of adver-
Using. An article, it is urged, should
be so good as to require no sales
man. Bosh! Demands do not thus
spontaneously spring up. 1t is not
enough to know the name of an arti-
Gle. There must be developed an &C
tive desire to purchase it. AS it is
with commodities so it is with candi-
dates. Not only must names be
familiar, but familiar in connection
with particular office and particu-
lar issues.
Moreover, while many persons are
conceivably eligible for nomination
only one is to be chosen. 1t is neces-
sary to know not only the man you
personally prefer, but what are the
probable preferences of fellow citi-
zens. Seldom would there be popular
choice if each voter should mark his
ballot for favored neighbor and
cast it without consultation. Indi-
vidualistic voting would mean rule
by an insignificant minority. Under
the primary system there must be
preparatory campaigns, and these
necessarily cost money.
General Wood was urged by his
first campaign manager, John r.
King, to make a still hunt and to
make private arrangements with
managing politicians. Colonel Proc

Wood, objected to this plan, and said
the only self-respecting method was
to go direct to the people. OF the
two methods, which is the more like
ly to be corrupt?
If we arc not to return to the old
crooked conventions we must not
only countenance but encourage
giving to campaign funds. No one
is able to argue away this necessity.
A pell-mell primary, with each ballot
bearing perhaps a different name,
would be no primary at all.

The Coming 7otoes
At tho Whipping Post

Before the Elmsford meeting house
A whipping post was set;
Around it on a cheerful morn
Tho countryside WAS met.
They left their wonted chores undone,
They came from miles away;
A fellow-man Of Elmsford town
Was to be whipped that day.
At stated worship with the saints
For moro than three months space.
This fellow, in despite Of law,
Not once had shown his face.
Most of the saints had little cared
Whether he lived or died,
But now they came with happy zest
To see the lash applied.
The culprt to the post was bound,
Uplfted was the thong
When suddenly horseman rode
Among the gazing throng.
Unknown to them the high gray horse,
Unknown the rider, too;
The rider refined his horse and asked,
What are we here to dot"
Up stepped the solemn constable;
The law he justified
The stranger in his stirrups rose.
aye Elmsford folk" he cried
"Vain zealots who suppose ye now
Are serving Heaven WE'LL
When sinful pride is thus your guide
Are rather serving he'll!
"Think We to force men to the ranks
BY fine and stocks and rod?
Into mems hearts shall men thus seek
TO whip the face Of God?
A brother We can never win
BY nogging or by fears;
With force and craft men press and
draft
Heaven calls for volunteers!"
He turned his horses head about
And vanished as a ghost;
They babe the constable unbind
The culprit from the post.
And as the crowd went slowly home,
A voice was heard to say:
40, with the Lords own scourge of
cords
Were we rebuked this day"

Hearst and the Leviathan

On February "a last the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Corpora
ton, after private negotiation, Of
fered $3,50O,000 for the Leviathan.
The sale was not consummated. This
week the opening of the bids Of an
advertised sale showed that the best
offer was nomina'ly 100000, but
actually much less than this because
of offsetting stipulations. Only $780,
900 was to be paio in cash, with the
remainder to come out Of the vessels
net earnings; that the government
was to furnish free a pier while the
ship is refitted; that the govern
ment is to lend $6,000,O00 at per
cent to finance the repair work
Moreover, it has cost the govern
ment $4,000 a week to maintain the
Leviathan. The following table
contrasts the two offers:
OLD OFFER
Cash So 500 900
$4,000
NEW OFFER
Cash ..............S 100000
Notes ............. 100000
100000
Repairs, etc. ....... 100000
-$2, 900 900
Nel loss. ........ 91 ,OUV,OV
The prospective loss follows in
point Of time the injunction obtained
by William Randolph Hearst for
bidding the Shipping Board to con-
summate the former sale. Mr.
Hearst's intrusion was said by him
to be due to his desire to protect the
public treasury and to prevent what
he denounced as an infamous attempt
of a brazen corporation practically
to steal vessel worth $8,O00,000 to
$1o,00o,0o0.
Seldom, 1t would seem, has there
been a clearer demonstration of the
costliness Of self-advertising inter-
ference with the work of a response
Bile government board. Not always
do those who loudly trumpet a pur-
pose to serve the public in fact do so.

The Diary Of Our Own Samuel Pepys

July 1-Early to the Office, and hard
at my scrivening and reading, and
thence to j. Kauffer, the chyrurgeon's $,
and he operated upon my lip, and put
an anesthetic on it, and made light of
my malady, so to the courts, but found
I could scarce hit the ball, owing to dir
zness. To dinner with R. Cortissoz, and
played at kelly pool with him and some
others, and drove him home, and offered
two young girls ride, and they got in,
and l never heard such silly and stupid
chatter in my life, and so drove them to
left. SO home, and found H. Candy in
bed, and he tells me he is to live with
me all summer, which | was glad of.
Pup very betimes, and Clara come
to cook breakfast for H. Candy and me,
and good coffee, too, and so in my petrol
Wagon to the traffick court, by 9
o'clock and I was called before 10, and
Mr.. Cobb the magistrate spoke to me
with forceful grace, and whenever l am
tempted to drive at a rate exceeding
fifteen miles per hour | shall think how
hurt he would be to know l had violated
the trust he placed in me. So he fined
me $25, which methought was not severe
enough, and hope he will have no leni-
cncy with others. To the office, where
till late at my writing, but sultry
day, and took small pleasure in work
ing.
We have seen statements by the
President and Mr.. McAdoo that neither
of them would be candidate. If either
of them should be, we shall vote for

CAMP AVALON GIRLS TO
PRESENT THE PIPER

Probably every who has an interest
in modern playwrights is familiar with
the name Of Josephine Preston Pea
body. She is a writer who has pub
lishsd several very charming plays Of
the present day. Perhaps the most
popular Of these is THE Piper" which
was written in 1910. winning in the
Stratford Prize Competition. The
winning Of this is particularly note
worthy, not only because Miss Pea
body was the first woman TO attain to
this height, but also because no Amer
lean had previously carried away this
honor.
"The Piper" was first presented IN
England ct Stratford-on-Avon, and
because Of its artistic simplicity a;
once attained success and since hen
il has been repeated innumeraDle
times.
The play is particularly adapted TO
m GU, of door setting. and is there
fore at its best in the beautiful sur
rounding Of Vermont. Camp Avalon,
situated in the midst Of these hills,
lends itself admirably TO the setting of
THE Piper" On July 10Th il will be
presented for the benefit Of the Ar
lington War Memorial, a; Camp Ava
lon, Salisbury.
