No Flat Raise in Salaries

1t is good news that Mayor Hylan
has been won to the view of Mr.. La
Guardia and has vetoed the fiat in
crease in city salaries, regardless of
size, as provided in the resolution
of the Board of Aldermen. The
Democratic majority in the board
passed this measure against Repub-
lican protest, ably and intellgently
expressed. 1t is altogether to the
Mayors credit that he has rejected
his partys plan and compelled a
more equitable distribution of this
long overdue increase in city sal
aries.
There are various ways in which
the distribution can be bettered.
President La Guardia's plan for
graded increases in such fashion as
to give the lower salaried men the
bulk of the $5,00O,O0O is the best
yet offered. The need of the higher
salaried men is certainly not as ur-
gent as the need of the great mass
of workers for small salaries, and
any increase should recognize this
fact.

The Protest of a Father
Brooklyn, July 25, 1920.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the days of childhood I
have read The Tribune. Naturally I am
a Republican; generally in hearty &C
cord with your editorial policy.
| sent two stalwart sons to the fight
ing front to help stamp out the war dis
ease that was still inherent in impe-
rialism. One will never come back ex-
cept in spirit. He died as the other
brave thousands did, covering their
names and their Country with undying
glory.
Our poignant grief was tempered and
even gladdened by the thought that out
of their great sacrifice would be born
an eternal testimonial-a league of
nations to prevent, in so far as pos
slble, recurrence of such vast inter-
national tragedies. Our grand old
party, except for it's few bigoted old
reactionaries, has always stood for
this.
These same reactionares took control
Of the party convention at Chicago and
gave us a candidate who now, with their
full approval, repudiates this principle
in toto, which their handmade plat
form precursed. You helped us swal-
low the first bitter dose by an editorial
juggling of words about interpretive
meanings, etc
Now, following the complete repudi-
alton OF league idea by the reaction
airy candidate, you turn to "The Next
Great War" because of "Wilson's stub
born folly" etc. Do you really mean
to swallow the entire dose without n
dissent? Has politics got. to be as
rotten as that? Dc we need the nro-
German, pro-lrish, prof. olshevist vote
so badly to win?
| demand of those Senators who
choked the league an open declaration
for it in whatever form or d return of
my boy alive, radiant and vibrant as
l sent him; and if the thousands of
other families who sacrificed similarly
do not make the same demand or refuse
to vote them back to power 1 shall be
terribly mistaken. And if you do not
stir up your red blood to compel them
to 1t, shall be terribly disappointed
This is no time to feed intelligence
with empty platitudes. I beg of you
rise to the situation as the founder of
your paper would do and compel them
at the consequent expense of your sup
port to put back into the party declara-
tons the principles that Lincoln and
Roosevelt would honor-and these were
NOT reputation. c. A. QUIRI.

most glorious pioneer expedition to
9 strange frontier ever undertaken
by Americans completed or in the
making. All America was a from
tier in those early years of settle
pent--Boston Common as wild a
spot as any prairie town of a CEN
fury ago or mining town of 1849
or the Klondike of later years. The
very name Pilgrim implies the ad-
venture. 1t conceives of all life as
an adventure, task for the bold
and hardy pioneer.
1t was Oliver Cromwell, tradition
says, who originated the notion of
trusting God and at the same time
keeping ones powder dry. A good
deal of lasting Americanism is in
that phrase. The Pilgrims were
handy men with powder, and their
descendants have never lost their
familiarity with it. The frontier
would not let them forget it if they
would, for the adventure of America
has never halted.

more binding connection than was
possible in pre-war times" is his pre-
diction.
That trade relations must be re-
sumed with Germany is obvious. That
the American MERCANTILE marine wifi
be benefited if it gains foothold in
the old German trade routes is
equally obvious. But the Shipping
Board will do we'll to bear in nina
the ancient proverb that he who
sups with we'll known person~needs
long, spoon. The Hamburg Amer
lean Line became a name of evil
omen early in the war. 1t was a
center of the German spy system, it's
Offices perhaps the chief headquar-
ters of the plotters against Ameri-
can property and lives. 1t had been
for years an agent of political no
less than commercial penetration.
There is something disturbing in any
scheme which implies close American
association with this company. No
doubt the American end of it is
patriotic. But there remains some
curiosity as to the intentions Of the
German end.
Herr Cuno-somewha incautious-
ly, perhaps--observes that "co0pera-
ton of nations cannot be effected by
q victorious government debating to
beaten government" and points
the moral by a reference to the Spa
Conference. There is a certain note
of exultation here suggestive of the
still unrepentant German mind. Herr
Cuno apparently feels that his coun-
trymen put something over" on the
Allies at Spa. Is it a strained in
ference that he may have a similar
feeling regarding these transactions
with Admiral Benson and the Ship
ping Board?

4 Young Republican
4 Protest Against Candidates Like
Wadsportl and q Call for Hughes

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In an editorial in your columns
you suggested the desirability Of offer
ing the rising generation Of voters,
the young men and women who are
not definitely affiliated with any party
and who have to cast first or second
vote ~this fall, some promise of a
progressive tendency in the Republican
party. The youthful voter who pauses
to be interested in politics faces a
bitter dilemma as he views the Presi-
Dental nominees. State politics offers
him no relief, what with Tammany
placing Hylans and Smiths in power
and Barnes seeking to force another
term of Wadsworth.
Is it then true that we must vote
for men In whom We have no conf
dence, who cannot inspire our respect
or admiration? Why should New York
State be content to have mediocre
man as her representative in the
United States Senate? Recent events
have shown the power of the Senate,
and the necessity of sending the ablest
lawmakers in the state properly to
WELD that power ought to be obvious.
AS a dissatisfied would-be Republi-
can of the younger generation ! ask
why Charles Evans Hughes should not
be the man to restore the dignity of
the Senatorial toga Of New York to
the heights reached by incImbents like
Elihu Root and Roscoe Conkling?
If New York State will offer a
promise of candidates like Mr.. Hughes
for the Senate and Judge Miller for
Governor, then those of US Iho are
still unreconciled to the Chicago fiasco
will be more ready to enroll as ardent
supporters Of Republicanism.

their naturalization papers, or tried to.
In either case such offense is likely
to have been received that no self
respecting person would stay if able
to get away.
When paper is required from
Washington, it should arrive in
three months at most. Four will
sometimes elapse before it's arrival,
and then only after a kick is made.
But the examiners are the ones who
are thinning our ranks of honest, in
dustrious workers. Their attitude is
bitterly hostile. They pick flaws.
They exercise cheap wit on these help
less strangers, who through not know
ing the idioms miss the point of the
jest and only know they are a laugh
ing stock.
They ask silly questions that they
could not answer themselves on the
spur Of the moment For instance:
"Who is the Lieutenant Governor of
the State?"
1t would be worth while to inter
view some Of the workers who are
leaving US with hatred in their
hearts. We must have different
methods.

Various Aspects Of a Much Debated
Candidacy
To tho Editor of The Tribune.

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's Tribune read with
amusement Marie G.. King Browns pa
thetically comical letter regarding Sem
ator Wadsworth and the sufFragists.
She states (and by what reason y that
there are many more "antis" in New
York than suffragists. The New York
women took a canvass Of the women,
and the sutfragists were far in the
majority.
I dislike the assertion that Boil
shevists, pro-Germans, free thinkers
and other radicals were the men who
voted for suffrage ia New York. |
know great many wonderful men
who voted for the Nineteenth Amend
ment, and I hardly think that over
100000 men are of the kind so de-
scribed.
think that my ancestors are quite
as much Americans as Mr.. Wadsworth.
Ny people were among the first ever to
step into the country. I was born in
Boston and my family dates back there
for seven generations on my fathers
side and my mother dates back to New
York State for eight generations. We
are citizens Of New York and have
been for the past six years. I have
three brothers who fought in the
Worlds War and my fiance was killed
over in France. My two brothers,
John and Parker, were seriously
wounded and the latter still lmps
from a wound received in France.
My younger brother was an ensign
These three boys, together with my
fiance, were four of the terrible un-
fit men" who voted for suffrage.
In my mind it is not what ones
grandfather did years ago or what
ones father did; it Is what one does
now that counts. Senator Wadsworth
does not represent the people of New
York State. 1t was all right to OPP
pose the amendment before it was
granted here, but when the men of
New York voted for it he had no right
to oppose their wishes.
This is my first chance to vote for
the Presidency, as will be the case Of
all the New York women. My family
are "black" Republicans, my father be-
ing voter for thirty-four years, but
my mother, father, three brothers and
two sisters and myself are ali vigorous
in our efforts to thwart Senator Wsds-
worth, even if it comes to voting for

Ireland's Civil War

Now it is the streets of Belfast,
northern Ireland's chief city, which
are crimsoned by blood shed by
Irishmen who do not agree. Near
Cork, within the precincts of a
church, policeman is treacherously
murdered for the crime of being a
policeman. He had just finished
crossing himself before the font of
holy water when the shots came. In
another Irish town, further indi-
cation Of the spirit prevailing, a
young woman is sheared of her hair
by masked men because she was seen
in the company of a member of the
constabulary.
That has come to pass which it
was foreseen would certainly come
to Eass when a large number of per-
SOM in Ireland adopted the view
that while the sacred right Of self
determination entitled Ireland to in
sist on separation from Great Britain,
it did not give Ulster the right to
determine to remain with England.
The Sim Fem platform logically
applied means civil war in Ireland,
and, of course, can mean nothing
else. 1t means a relighting of the
fires Of religious and political pref
udice and scenes that will make the
heart sicken.
Those in America who have seen
fit to encourage a movement which
in the same breath declares it de-
mands freedom and in the next that
freedom shall not be accorded to a
large and important Irish minority
which largely lives apart may re-
fleet further on the responsibility
they assume.
