Special Dispatch to The Tribune
- INDIANAPOLIS, March 26.-Harry
G. Hogan, of Fort Wayne, state mana
ger of the Leonard Wood campaign or
ganization in Indiana, to-day denied
charges published by "T'he Indiana
Daily Times" yesterday that the man
agement of the Wood campaign was
buying testimonials of Endorsement at
$3.50 each. Hogan admitted that
indianapolis reporters have been en-
ployed to interview men known to favor
the Wood candidacy.
Not one cent has been spent in pur-
chasing interviews indorsing the can
dldacy Of Leonard Wood" said Mr.
Hogan. "Reputable reporters, employed d
on the local papers in indianapolis,
were given assignments to interview
men of prominence in this city, who
had telephoned in that they wanted to
give expression of their esteem of the
one IN the office who could be used for
that character Of work"

Calvin Coolidge Says

(From his address at Bates College
Commencement, June %, 1920
We cannot face our present condi-
tons with any assurance or any thought
that they can be solved by any magic
remedy. 1t is the duty of the Ameri-
can people at the present time to work
out their salvation, to put greater
effort into the daily affairs of life and
to cease to expect that they might by
any means be able to return to those
easy and comfortable conditions in
the near future that they were expert
encing before the war began. And if
tho public can understand that-and
know they can-we have gone large
part of the way toward solving some
Of the problems that we have confront
ing US at the present time.
AS | have said, we cannot expect
to be placed in the condition in which
we were before the war. Certainly we
cannot expect to accomplish that con-
dition by increasing wages all around.
I am not saying that wages ought not
to be increased. They ought many
times to be increased, and there are
those upon whom the present cond;-
tions bear m an especially unfair and
unjust manner. But, after all, an in
crease in compensation does not pro-
duce for US any of the materials that
we want; it does not give us an ad
ditional yard Of cloth or a new pair
Of shoes or another pound of sugar.
That is question always of produc-
ton, so that we must look to produc-
tion If we are to have any solution
of our present difficulties.
If we can provide supply Of ma
terials that is plentiful, profiteerirg
will cease, and there is no other way
that profitee-ing can be met and ended.
We must face this issue, | say. and
face it Loyalty, braveiy and well, as
Americans face all their issues, and
f we do that | am sure that we can
solve our problems and solve them as
they ought to be solved. 1t is a long.
slow process, but America has never
faced any crisis without the assurance
that it had the power of solving it.
We must all realize the duty that rests
upon us to work, and we must all
work for the public welfare and the
public benefit.

A Guide to Matrimonv

Perhaps it is too much to expect
logic touching so illogical an affair
as matfimony. But we do think Mr..
w. l.. George overdid his contradict
tions in his little guide to married
life which he delivered to an enter
tanned assembly last week.
In one part of his address he sup
ported eloquently all the ancient,
tlme-honored modes of self-hypnosis
and comfortable deception. Tell
your wife every day that you love
her-whether you do or don't. Tell
yourself that you're happy. And so
on. Even if things are a little
rough, pretend that they're all right.
Hypnotic yourself into enjoying
matrimony, which, after all, is the
only satisfactory habitat for old
age, etc.
Yet in another section of his lee
ture Mr.. George came out boldly for
frankness and kicking while the kick
was fresh. If either partner has a
fault to find, say it without flowers !;
be as angry as you feel; if necessary,
go to bed wrathful, inquired, vexed,
condemning; but get whatever you
feel out into the open. You Will
wake up feeling as cheerful as a
May morning.
Now it is very difficult to sec how
both of these precepts can be fol-
lowed. The whole sentimental pre-
tence that marriage is a perfect es-
tate, wherein no harsh words are
spoken, and two human beings dwell
together needing no other society, is
based on just the sort of self-hyp-
nosis that Mr.. George urged in his
first preachings. And most of what
we are pleased to call the modern
attitude toward marriage-which re-
CARDS it as a highly useful and alb
solutely necessary estate but very
human and far from perfect rela-
tionship-could not exist in the same
home with such unreality, Twin
beds, twin bank accounts, vaca-
0ions for wives and husbands, and
other modern innovations, are fun
damentally contradictory Of the
alissful nonsense summed up in the
phrase of romance that they lived
happily ever after"
Is there or is there not to be more
candor about marriage and in mar
rage? We do not see how Mr..
George can face both ways upon this
question-even in order to appeasc
all his auditors at lecture.

or hope to their megalomaniac
dreams of revenge, are reharnessinp
pan-Iuranianism in the service Of
Magyar imperialism. The special
armored train on which Regent
Horthy is touring the country raw
aged by his own White terrorists
bears the name Turan-this sort of
romantic symbolism being lust in
the line of craftsmanship that at
tempts to solve the land question of
hungary by reviving the medieval
scheme OF tenure in exchange for
mlltary service. Demonstrations
tavoring brotherhood" with Turks
and Tatars, victims of Entente i'm
periallsm, are organized, and, true
to the Prussian pattern, science is
moblllzed to support political
nightmare. Thus DR.. Eugene Chol-
noky, the leading Magyar light in
geography, president of several sci
entitic bodies, writes:
THE Magyars appeared in Eurone
ten centuries ago; they are the
hrst masters of the arts of ciyiliza-
tlop. 1t is to our Turanan race that
the glory of having invented writing
belongs. This is presumably an allu-
sion to the Sumer-Akkads of pre-
Chaldean times Those who TODAY
call themselves Europeans have
learned the use Of script much later.
Our race also has taught the world
how to make bread and how to break
horses. The idea of & benevolent COL
iectlvlsm here Herr Cholnoky prob
ably means the iron discipline of
D5enghis Khan's hordes] also is of q
1uranan origin, and the Magyar race
has known better than any other how
to organize a strong state. The
Chinese, our racial brethren, number
425 100000 If all these peoples
would one day take up arms again, we
could make the whole Of Europe trem-
Die. Once more our Turanian
power would shoot like an arrow across
q terror-stricken Europe"
Coming from one of the leaders
Of Hungarian official science, these
rawlings may be justly regarded as
indicative of the state of mind that
pervades the present rulers of Hun
gary. 1t would seem that after the
terrible chastising of war and revo-
luton the Magyar jingoes still need
thorough lesson.

4 Republican Year-Why?
Bp George Ade

The Republican victory is impend ng
not because of opposition to the League
Of Nations, but because men and wom-
en- wish to register their deep DISCUS It
by voting against the party of which
Mr.. Wilson has been the figurehead
and the forequarters and the hindquar-
ters through many months Of suffer
ing.
The home folks are seeing lot of
things in perspective now that they
couldn't see through the smoke and
dust Of a World War in 1916.
They see (even the misguided farm
ers Of Kansas and Nebraska, who
thought that the price of wheat was
the paramount issue in 1870 that the
refusal of MIR Wilson and his boy
choir to get ready for the inevitable
conflict with Germany was stupidity
colossal and almost unbelievable
The thousands of citizens who voted
for Mr. Wilson because they thought
it would be nice thing to keep out of
war and keep on making money did
not know of that damning and piled
up evidence of Germanys perfdy. Mr..
Wilson concealed the facts brought 70
MIN by the Secret Service, and Colonel
House and Mr. Gerard and numerous
other emissaries and continued to ad
minister the chloroform. He seemed
to proceed upon the theory that if a
man comes into house and makes &
criminal assault on your daughter, no
harm is done unless the neighbors hap
pen to hear it.
During that long wait, while we
were under sentence of war, and try
ing to hide the truth from ourselves,
Mr.. Wilson took no counsel from the
strong men of the nation. He had
hasheeshcd himself into the belief that
Re was the only strong man in the ma
tiOr
New-York tribune., 1920-10-24

contended that that treaty reflects the
free action of the Haytian people or
their representatives..
After Santo Domingo was occupied
an attempt was made to negotiate
similar treaty. It failed, and as re-
suit the Dominican government was
forthwith suppressed. No President
or Cabinet has been tolerated from
that day to this.
The average reader will question the
above assertion, because it seems so
improbable, but it is the gospel truth
Americans stand for the square deal
and are free with their criticism even
If it strikes close home.
No American had been murdered in
Santo Domingo, no outrages committed
against American citizens and no Amer
lean property interests DESTROYED. No
plteous appeals for aid and protection
had gone forth from American citizens
IN Santo Domingo to the State Depart
ment at Washington
Our occupation of Santo Domingo is
without semblance of moral right, in
ternatlonal law or treaty obligation. If
1t Is the settled policy of Uncle Sam to
police the world, why not start in near
er home, where the provocation has
been notorious and repeated? Why pick
upon small defenseless nations, in
which natives who oppose the invaders
are characterized as bandits, where
tree speech is abridged and writer's who
criticize conditions are imprisoned and
threatened with execution?
What was it that Nathan Hale said
in that last glorious moment of his
ilfe! W. E. PULLIAM.

Only The Mandolin PLAYERS

Only the mandolin players were ad-
mitted to the royal presence. The
Creels and Bakers and Josephuses
knelt before him and burned incenas
and sang their seXless love songs.
That pre-war period now fingers in
the memory as narrowing nightmare.
One day the White House would be
bleating like g lamb and the next day
it would be roaring like 8 lion.
Finally, we kicked into the war. Do
you remember that ringing proclama-
ton as 10 making the world safe for
democracy? If so, can you remem-
ber a little further back, say to Janu-
airy, 1917, when our President advised
all Of the fighting nations to lay down
their arms and accept peace without
vlctory"?
If the world had to be made safe for
democracy in April. why had any one
favored letting democracy go to smash
in the preceding January?
We didn't go into the war to make
the world safe for anything We went
in because we had been slapped and
kicked, until we either had to fight or
go hide in the cellar After we went
in, every one hoped. OF course, that tne
war would result in grand cleanup
or settlement which would be pre-
lude to many years OF peace
Although Mr.. Wilson seemed to re-
gard the war as an allegorcal tableau,
Of which he was the central figure. It
is now matter Of record that the
brunt of the war work Was cheerfully
assumed by men who had previously
New-York tribune., 1920-10-24

remained a subsidiary instrument in
the hands Of the Allied Council,
which recently, at the Spa confer
ence, modified the reparation terms
through direct negotiations with the
Berlin government.
Opinions of the treaty formed a
year ago have also had to be revised
How it will operate is still a mys.
terry. To what extent it will be en-
forced depends largely not on any
bodies created by it but upon con-
tlnued political cooperation by the
Entente signatories.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII not some paper, Will not
your paper, champion the cause Of the
pay-as-you-go portion of the travelling
public? Wages of railroad men have
oeen raised, and most Of hem are
getting larger salaries than sre most
of us, and we are assessed { n sddi-
'ional 20 per cent 10 travel on the rail
roads to help pay this increase to the
railroad employees-not only 90, but we
must help pay for the rides the railroad
man and his family take on these same
roads.
We contend that it is an injustice to
those who pay their way TO make them
pay for the rides of those who do not
pay. 1t is high time that passes on the
railroads be discontinued.

Expectations of Democrats Poll
ticians Unfou7ded
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: If the League of Nations were
partisan issue identical in scope and
purpose with the destiny of one of our
political parties, it would promptly lose
It's present appeal to the immense ma
Jority Of 1920 voters on whom partisan
interests have no claim.
10 think to use the league idea as
leverage to propel political party into
ofiice is to fall mmeasurably short of
ttahzlng Its nature and actual purpose.
10 hold the belief that the league idea
IS defeated if the Republican party goes
INTO Office is to confess but a meager
perception of the league idea as q pos
slbllty of international usage.
The League of Nations can no more
be partisanized or partitioned off as an
election tissue" as an exclusive selling
lolnt to voters by one party, than suf-
tlage for women could be so manipu-
lated. The expectation by Democratic
politicians that it can is bound to meet
With the same disappointment and dis
may as did party hopes to take possess
sion of the suffrage issue and use it as
rarty merchandise
No appeal by any political party for
loyalty to the league idea is needed. 1t
has the acclaim of thinking men and
T7cmen throughout the world. That this
type of loyalty, one of the purest phases
Of human nature, should be willfully or
lllndly called upon to further purpose
which in itself has little to do with the
deal-namely, the propelhng of po-
itical party into office-is contingency
from which the spontaneously loyal
should especially guard themselves in
these momentous and sensitive pre-elec-
ton days
The defeat Of a league Of nations IS
hy no means the price which the Demo
cratic party can force America to pay if
America does not elect it to a four-year
tenure of office in November.
1t is the inescapable realization Of this
fact which is committing millions Of
league enthusiasts Chose of US who can
discriminate between a great spiritual
issue and a mere political contest to
vote the Republican ticket on Novem-
Der 2, 1920. The Democratic party was
brought into official position by many
Of US eight year sago because of Wilson
Its present ruling element is deter
mined to restore the old order of ward
oitics on q national scale.
The destiny of league of nations is
rot in the hands of political party. 1t
is an ideal which is bound to be fulfilled

ment is well under way in the minds of
millions of men and women to-day
Their continued cooperation in the proc
esses Of its working-out during the i'm
mediate years to come when Election

scntial condition and one vital factor

MIR. Baruch on the Treaty

In The Making of the Reparation
and Economic Sections of the Treaty
Bernard M. Baruch writes with re-
strsint and fairness. He evidently
feels constrained to meet the attacks
made on the reparation and eco
nomic sections by the Keynes school
and by the "liberal" press in this
country
But he doesn't fall into any
extravagances trying to vindicate
the work at Paris Of the American
economic delegates. He merely says
that the problems faced "were dealt
with as effectively as possible at the
time" And he admits that the
American delegations activity was
largely confined to acting as brake
on the more drastic reparation pro-
gram of most Of the other delega-
tions.
Three important points are cleared
up in the book. The first is that
Americas economic spokesmen felt
bound to insist on strict applica-
~tion of the terms offered to Germany
in the correspondence preceding the
armistice. AS a basis for peace the
Germans accepted the Fourteen
Points, one of which had suggested
the restoration" of occupied terri
tory. This clause was amplified by
the European governments so as to
include compensation by Germany
"for all damage done to the civilian
population of the Allies and their
property by the aggression of Ger
many by land, by sea and from
the air"
The American delegates fought to
have this language strictly observed,
having to meet claims on the part of
other delegations for reimburse
ments on other accounts-even of the
whole cost of the war. In the end
Mr.. Baruch and his associates yield
ed In so far as to admit all military
pensions and allowances and repara-
ton to Allied prisoners Of war into
the category of reparations to the
civilian population-also the repay
ment of Belgium's war loans from
the Allies. The treaty, in Article
231, compelled an acknowledgment
from Germany Of responsibility for
causing all the loss and damage to
which the Allied governments and
their nationals had been subjected.
But this was mere verbal flourish.
The second point is that the
American delegates contended all
along for q lump sum money indem-
nity-presumably rather modest
one. They had to yield this point,
however, to Great Britain and
France, the treaty finally imposing
an underlined payment, to be deter
mined, within very broad limits,
by a reparations commission. Mr..
Baruch seems to agree with Keynes
that a moderate lump sum would
have worked out better.
THE author feels that the enforce
ment of a fair measure Of repara-
ton has been provided for through
the creation of the Preparations Com
mission. This body has undoubt-
edly wide authority. But so far it
has gravely disappointed public ex-
pectation. Poincare, the president,
resigned when he discovered that
the commission really lacked a free
hand and independent power. 1t has

1 NWIELDY, huge. with no defined
Plexus to gauge his gravity.
IN ancient mariner he stands,
And gravely bends his gaze on me.
His black eyes twinkle; he confirm.

Caught ike jewel in his beak,

The fringed rock buttressing the spray,
The FURNISHED kelp, the sea, the sky,
He views with quiet nonchalance
An elephantine majesty.
With legs widespread, and solemn mles,
Like some old graybeard of the seas,
He balances his heavy chest
A metamorphic Socrates.
