Civilizations Readjustrnent

"My campaign" says Candidate
Cox in his latest and most ambitious
statement, twill be dedicated to the
tasknof bringing peace with honor,
of readjusting the affairs Of civili-
zatiert and of creating new day
cut. of which we will make the best
of the lessons of the past"
Not being a graduate of a col
lege,. Mr.. Cox is not to be accused of
revamping, to meet a present need,
an essay or an grafton he wrote
whensa sophomore. But some men
have perpetual sophomore minds, and
delight in rolling words which have
no meaning. Has not Mr.. Wilson
demonstrated it is possible to float
for long time on a sea of peacock
phrasermaking? Mr.. Cox, in the role
of hu'n1ble imitator, seemingly hopes
the same waters will sustain his two
hundred pounds.
What would the friends Of Gov
ernor- Cox say should Senator Har-
ding have nothing more explicit to
say than that he was for "peace with
honor" and proposed "readjusting
the, affairs of civilization" and
creating new day.? They would
smoker. as would be their right.
They would lament fearful ex-
posure of mental insufficiency. They
would express doubt whether such
a mind could endure the wear of a
prolonged campaign. They would
con1hiserate with their opponents on
the sad fortune that when they
CROPPED in the political grab bag their
fingers, closed on SO small a prize.
Governor Cox was unknown to the
country when nominated. 1t was
whispered that he was wet, and
of the men whose names were before
the9San Francisco convention he was
the least smeared from contact with
the Wilson Administration. On the
basis of these things, plus the in
dorsement of Charley Murphy, he
was accepted without close examina-
tion. Optimists limited that per-
haps diamond had been picked up.
Luck had come to other parties.
Why not to one greatly in need of
luck? y
So for ten long days there has
been AN impatient waiting for the
light to shine. Alas! no ray has
shot forth. 1t may be too early to
say, the jewel is paste, but it will
be conceded that it is not composed
of rYaaium and that it blazes with
no headlight effulgence.

A Socialist Annex

ne parlOr liberals and radicals
who went to Chicago to organize a
third party fell victims to forces
which they had misjudged. These
parlor liberals and radicals spoke a
dead language. They dreamed of a
third party which would differ from
the existing major parties only in
its program. They offered to supply
advanced political and economic
ideas to new party grouping which
would resemble the Republican and
Democratic groups in being COM
posed of men of all sorts and classes,
working, professedly, for the politi-
cal advancement of the community
as a whole.
But the elements at Chicago by
which the parlor liberals and radi-
Gals were routed didn't want to form
another party of this sort. They put
class interests above general inter-
ests. Don't force us into a class
party" was the plea Of the Forty
Fighter intellectuals. But what the
labor realists at Chicago had in view
was just that-another class party.
The Socialists were already in the
field preaching class warfare. But
the Socialists have a bad name, are
split into irreconcilable factions and
are going down hill. The new party
Of Fitzgerald and Christensen seeks
to dodge the unpleasant repute of
socialism and still support Boil
shevist program, which subordinates
the welfare of the great majority
to that of minority groups.
The platform adopted by the
'1abor-farmer" convention was too
extreme for Senator La Toilette, who
belongs in the outer fringe of politi-
cal radicals. The reason is plain. To
use the jargon of the labor realists,
La Toilette is bourgeois, while
they class themselves technically
among the proletariat. Their. pro-
letariat doesn't include all labor,
however, but only favored organized
groups of labor, for whose benefit
the primary industries of the coun-
try are to be taken over by the gov
eminent and then operated "demo-
cratically." That is to say, the great
majority of the people-the great
majority of the actual laborers-are
to suffer the hardships and pay the
enormously increased cost Of oper-
ating the key industries on terms
fixed by the workers in them.
Most of the "labor-farmer" plat
form is camoufage. Farmer sup
port is invited by a promise to
change existing methods of distri-
button. But the heart of the plat
form is the class demand for "demo-
cratic operation" of the industries to
be nationalized.
Eugene V. Debs received sixty
eight votes on the first ballot for
Presidential nominee. He was the
logical choice of the convention.

The Case Of Madeleine %
The Peculiar Facts Which Brought
Drab Boob Into Court
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your controversy over the
book Madeleine" with John s. Sumner,
inheritor of the scourge, mantle and
halo of the late Anthony Comstock,
sight seems to have been lost of the
genesis of the case which brought to
this drab and, in many respects, pa
got it before the courts.
Madeleine" was published by the
firm of Harper e. Bros. Mr.. Clinton T.
Brainerd, q member Of that firm, was
and is one of the extraordinary body
known as the Almirall grand jury,
which was generally reputed to have
under its scrutiny the activities of GER
tain members of the present city ad-
mnistration. Certain handy men Of
that sterling patriot and defender
of public morals, William Randolph
Hearst, and employees of his so-called
newspapers were also being summoned
before the Almirall grand jury.
With typical Hearstian strategy, Herr
Hearst began to look about for some
thing with handle to it that he could
hurl at the Almirall grand jury. made
leine" happened at the moment to be
within easy reach, and therefore Mr..
Brainerd was made the target and the
goat" in the very transparent effort
to discredit the entire Almirall grand
jury by trying to blacken one of it's
members. Transparent" is used ad-
visedly, for those who could not see
through the whole hullabaloo about
Madeleine" and Mr.. Brainerd in the
Hearst publications must be equipped
with mentalities that would win them
scholarships in a school for detectives.
Reverting to Madeleine" q some
what hurried perusal of the book at
the time the Hearst pack was in full
cry led me to believe it was the sim
cere attempt of a woman who had
fallen through unfortunate circum-
stances and not through inclination to
point a warning to her sisters who might
be tempted to stray from the path of
virtue. Many more daring passages
than any in "Madeleine" may be found
in De Maupassant, Balzac, David Ora
ham Phillips, Theodore Dresser, or
even in some of the widely -advertised
fiction which appears in the Hearst
owned magazines. But the story as
whole has not enough suggestiveness
to make it sufficiently attractive for
readers Of the Hearst brand of "litera-
ture." CYNIC.

Marriage Sanctity
Aims of Church Society Misunder-
stood bu Critics

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Kindly allow me a brief space
for the correction of fragrant error
appearing in many papers of New York
and other cities in regard to the pur-
pose of the Society for UNFOLDING the
Sanctity of Marriage, of which | am the
general secretary. Its aim is not to
secure an amendment to the Constitu-
ton, either to forbid divorce or to allow
Congress to adopt uniform Legislation
on the subject. The character for sanity
of the we'll known bishops, priests and
laymen of the Episcopal Church, who
are the officers and leaders in this move
ment, Is guaranty for their not en-
PERTAINING such quixotic project as
the former; while the society, on the
other hand, has no intention of asking
for Federal statute of marriage in
place of our present chaos of state laws,
though this, in the judgment of many,
No, the only purpose of the society
is clearly stated in its four principles
for members of every denomination who
desire to join its ranks. Its sole appeal
is to the intelligence and conscience Of
Christian people and their ministers, to
live up to the standard which their
Divine Master has Enthusiastically set
them in the pages of the New Tesla
ment. In view of this fact it is some
what amusing, though tragic also, that
the secretary should be the recipient Of
letters, most of them unsigned, using
such polite epithets as "ass," "fool,"
"hypocrite," puritan" and in one case
(written appropriately in red ink
charging him with being an instigator
of murder! In all, he is accused of at
tempting to deprive the writers of tho
right accorded to them in the Declare
ton of independence, for "the pursuit
of happiness" by marrying and reniar-
rying according to their own sweet will

Can the Board Explain?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: With great disappointment /
noticed in this mornings paper the
shameful and disgraceful action of the
Board of Education in ousting DR.. John
l.. Tildsley. 1t hardly seems as if he
was fifty rewarded by the board for his
long, faithful and valuable services to
the school system and for his coura-
geous fight against the radical and I'M
patriotic element in the schools. This
action will now be hailed as a great vic
tory by those who would overthrow the
government instead of supporting it.
l suppose it will soon come to pass
that our children will be made to
pledge allegiance to our flag at their
morning exercises, and then five minutes
later will be taught how to overthrow
it and substitute another in it's place.
AS far as the board is concerned, Mayor
Hylan's order is of more Importance
than the opinion of the public. If the
school system is to be juggled with by
political parties it's about time we
closed down the entire system.
At one time we could have thanked
God that one of the most important
departments of our city was being kept
out OF the clutches of INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians. but now Mayor Hylan has sue
ceeded in dragging the Board of Educa-
ton into it. No action of the board
could have been more unpatriotic and
more disgusting to true Americans than
that. The board now owes an explana-
ton to the public as to the reason why
DR.. Tildsley was not reelected after
having served SO faithfully for nearly
twenty-five years.

but Merrick is welded, to the notion
that virtue in a woman is a sort of
panic. A good name, he seems to be-
lleve, is something which a woman car
ries tightly casped in both arms like
a bowl of goldfish. To stumble would
be almost as fatal as to fall.
Il came to talk to you again, if
you'll let me-" said the young man.
you know very we'll that l can't
help it," our heroine answered. This
was not polite, but at least it had a
more engaging quality of boldness than
anything she had said before. But soon
she was auttering again. ooh, you
have only to say I'm a nuisance! l
assure you that if you'd rather left
you alone | won't speak another word"
continued the young man. This seemed
reassuring enough, but it has a devas-
tating effect upon our heroine, for we
find that "Her mouth twitched, and she
looked at the ground"
Eventually she and the young man
were married. He had spoken to her
without an introduction, and he was
enough of gentleman to realize that
he must right the wrong and make an
honest woman of her.
Although we have not yet finished
the book, we rather suspect that they
will not be very happy. Merrick's good
women never are. They all suffer ter
rifcally just because they lack the
ability to bulwark their virtue behind
couple of snappy comebacks, such as,
Where do you get that stuff ?" or
"How do you get that way?"
