wrote the following poem en-
titled "The Plow Of Cod"
If you listen you will hear from
east to west
Growing sounds Of discomfort
and deep unrest.
1t is just the progress-driven
pillow Of God
Tearing up the well-worn, GUS
tom bounded sod:
Shaping out each old tradition
tradden track
Into furrows-fertile burrows,
rich and black.
Oh, what harvests they will yield
When they widen to a field
They will widen. they will broad
en-, day by day
AS the progress-driven pillow
keeps on its way.
It will riddle all the ancient
roads that lead
Into palaces of selfishness and
greed!
It will tear away the almshouse
and the slum
That the little homes may come.
Yes, the gardens green and sweet
Shall replace the stony street!
Let the wise man hear the menace
that is blent
In this ever-growing sound of
discomfort.
Let him hear the clamor Of the
race
That the few shall yield the
many larger space;
For the crucial hour is coming
when the soil
Must be given to, Or taken back,
by Toll.
Oh. that mighty Plow of God
Hear it breaking through the sod
Talk about inspiration This
marvellous woman had a foresight
in her later years which was al
most uncanny. Notice the pro-
phetic utterance Of the three fol-
lowing lines:
ut means the great and growing
need
Of something better than a creed
To lift the race above the mire OF
greed"

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX ON
THE CHURCH AND LAND
QUESTION.

In the year 1900 Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, the much beloved poet OF
the people who died recently
voiced her opinion of conditions
ms she found them in the Christian
world in the following lines:
Full 1900 years and yet
Behold how Christians Christ
forget
Outside of churches! Where, |
2 pray T. -
DO men show brotherhood todayf
In social life, see class with class
Contendino each to each surpass,
And hear their biting words of
ScOrn
For one like Thee) more humbly
born.
Then look in business circles, =
there
Is conflict in the very air.
Beneath fair smiles hate hides its
frown:
There strong men knock the
weaker down,
And Much goes riding over Less
And this is what we call uccess.
And then the armies God, what
means
This conquest of the Philippines
This Boer and Briton slaughter
And this Rad upon far China 5
landf
1t means that forms have not
sufficed
TO teach mankind the law of
Christ.
1t means the church has failed t.

1t means the great and growing

To lift mankind above the mire
of greed.

found some twenty odd years
previous, but it seems up to this
time this wonderful woman had
not learned of it, but about the
year 1905 or IS, she had become
acquainted with the broad phi

contemplated today, and then she

she had not yet gotten on to what
that something was, but her trust
was always firm in God and man.
She sensed that there was some
thing wrong. maladjuStment
somewhere that was to be righted.
Dear fellow-tr traveller on the shores
of time, read the two poems over
again and again. Try to grasp
their deeper meaning. She knew
that on account of a lack of love
for God and man (Christ's Law
of Love-, the churches have
failed to be a guide to high hui
manity." That we have lacked
faith in God and man because We
knelt at the feet Of Mammon.
That we have not loved above all
else "That great and indestruct;,
bic thing which we call justice
and right" and last but nfI
least, I'd like to call your after
ton to the fact that when sk
speaks of giving the soil back q
toll, she does mt mean simply tho
who till the soil, but all who wQ1
with Drawn, brain or hand
serve their fellowmen.

Ghastly Russia

The latest authentic information
from Russia is furnished by Colonel
Ryan, of the Red Cross, who was in
Moscow and Petrograd six weeks
ago.
Conditions are ghastly. In a coun-
try which has been the worlds
greatest food producer thousands
starve and millions lack nutrition.
In a country of forests the masses
shiver and freeze. Transportation
is in q state of collapse and industry
has almost ceased. Except for a
few remainders that survive from
czarist days, Russia would be one
great cemetery.
In Petrograd the desperation is so
great that thousand or more
barges formerly used to float in
fuel haves been hacked to pieces
and burnt. The official ration is a
farce, food depots are closed, and
itlnerant protlteers are stripping the
populace Of the few things of value
it has left. Bolshevist officials freely
speak of their hopelessness and pre-
dict even greater horrors.
1t is still the habit of some to
speak Of going Bolshevist as if this
offered a remedial alternative. The
assumption is that it would be at the
particular expense of those with
legal title to possessions. Learn
about Russia and realize that the
toll of Bolshevism comes chiefly
from the proletariat. To go Bolshe-
visit means to increase mass misery.
not to diminish it; to substitute no
rations for half rations.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-15
Fitzroy VS.. Greeley

We own to personal prejudice in
behalf of Greeley as a ripe, sound
and memorable noun in the affairs
Of New York. Historically speak
ing, it would be hard to hit upon
a word better worth conserving
through the medium of a telephone
exchange. But the experts of the
telephone company have discarded
it, and for reasons based upon long
experimentation, we have no doubt.
But we cannot feel much enthusi-
asm for the substitute, Fitzroy; and
we are inclined. to think that here
historical research, well meant and
thorough, has dug a little too deep
into the past of our much torn down,
much rebuilt town. The general
policy of the telephone company has
been wholly admirable. Not chance
words but savory local names have
been unearthed for our exchanges
Cathedral, Orchard, Audubon, Chel-
sea, and so on. Too much praise
cannot be given the officials of the
company for their sound methods
and good taste in this really i'm
portant matter.
The trouble with Fitzroy is that it
is too minor a name in the city's
past. 1t was the name of an old
road in Greenwich Village before the
grldlron system Of streets was I'M
posed-approXimately Eighth Ave
nue. from Fourteenth Street to
Forty-second Street. But Charles
Fitzroy, Baron Southampton, for
whom the road was named, meant
next to nothing in old New York
save for the accident of his marriage
into the Warren family, who owned
a farm thereabout. Surely there are
larger regulations and more signifi-
cant facts in this district to COM
memorate.
Perhaps we are over particular.
Is it really an honor and can a shade
take any comfort in having his name
vibrated on thousand wires day
and night long, spoken by some in
anger, by many awry and by all in
haste? 1t is a dubious question. But
we cannot dim our regret that so
mellow and outstanding name as
Greeley should have had to yield to
the lisping, alien title of New
Yorker chiefly memorable for that
his great-grandfather was a king.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-15
Mr.. Illness Excuses

Mr. Walker D. Hines, former Di-
rector General of Railroads, trying
to avoid responsibility for the short
age of cars, says the blame lies
with Congress and with the railroad
executives. He explains that the rail
road administration ordered equip
ment in 1918 and 1919, but that Con-
gress didn't want to vote enough
money to give the administration a
free hand, and that the railroad
executives objected to assuming the
added burden of the cost of new
equipment. Naturally the railroads
didn't want to incur new obligations
when they couldn't even meet operat-
ing expenses under subnormal gov
ernment rates. And Congress iusti-
.iably declined to help the Director
General out with appropriations
when it already had given the Pres
Ident power to increase rates at his
and thus raise all the
money needed for improvements.
The root of the trouble was that
New-York tribune., 1920-05-15
Protecting the Masters

The President invokes the Consti-
tuition to Justify his veto of an act
to restrain Extravaganza in public
printing. He makes the rather in
genious distinction that vesting the
JOINT Committee on Printing and
Public Buildings Commission with
power to regulate departmental
printing converts a legislative COM
mlttee into an administrative agency.
There is ground here for a hair
splitting dispute between the two
departments over matter of con-
stltutlonal theory. But in the case
in point the Presidents veto un-
fortunately operates to protect bad
administrative practice against help
full and intelligent Congressional
regulation.
The Joint Committee on Public
Printing is about the only body in
Washington at present interested in
stopping printing abuses. 1t has
done admirable work under Senator
Smoot's leadership. 1t is trying to
cut Off useless public expenditure
and to save paper But the wasters
IN the departments have the Presi-
dents ear, and at their behest, an
parently, he has challenged Con-
gress's right to interfere with them.
The Legislative act provides that
no journal, magazine, periodical or
similar government publication shall
be printed, issued or discontinued by
any branch or officer of the govern
ment service except under regula-
tlons made by the joint committee.
During the war departmental print
ing ventures ran riot. The Admins
tration didn't try to check them after
the armistice. Mr.. Smoot's commit
tee had to take the matter in hand.
1t eliminated more than hundred
superfiuous publications, much to the
annoyance of their publishing staffs.
A saving of $1,200,0O0 was effect
ed. But some publications are worth
continuing, and the committee was
willing to continue them rather than
abolish them if it could control their
expenditures.
Another abuse the committee
sought to end was the artificial
boosting of the circulation of govern
New-York tribune., 1920-05-15

the railroad administration adhered
to the mistaken policy of running
the railroads at loss. 1t wanted to
save the face Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and also to pro-
long its own power by keeping the
roads on deficit and subventioned
basis. 1t favored continued govern
ment regulation. 1t seemed resolved
that if the roads went back to pri-
vate operation in 1920 they should
go back without sufficient revenues.
If rates had been raised adequate
ly in 1918 the roads would have paid
their way and could have laid up
surplus for new equipment The
money would have been on hand and
the credit of the carriers would have
been reestablished. Now they have
t0 go into the market for it at high
rates or wait for additional appro-
priations from Congress.
NoNerillicnt OperaClOn was QlS-
credited because it was pedantic and
unbusinesslike. It's insistence on
operating deficits was the chief cause
OF the present chaos. Mr.. Hines may
try to find other causes But the
public will remain skeptical 1t
knows why government operation
failed. So do those who operated the
railroads on the governments be-
half. A year ago they were arguing
for a tive-year extension of their
regime. But last January they were
glad to be relieved of a responsible
ity which they had discharged with
general and eminent dissatisfaction

not been criticized enough. Too
many artificially forced themselves
to try to keep in step with him. If
Messrs. Taft, Lowell, Hoover and
others like them had spoken year
ago as they speak now the treaty
would have been ratified. The Presi-
dent was encouraged to embark on
his course Of rule or ruin-led to
believe he could count on divided
opposition. If he had been properly
rebuked for ignoring his constitu-
tional partner in treaty making it is
unlikely he would have committed
himself as he did.
1t is the peculiar business of the
Republican party to rebuild the
structure the President has wrecked.
The convention soon to assemble at
Chicago should speak with no waver-
ing voice. 1t must not associate
itself with Johrsonism, and thus be-
come in effect an aid of wisconsin.
The great men Of the Republican
party have always been peace
leaguers--have favored every prac-
tical proposal looking to a better
organization Of the world. From
Lincoln to Roosevelt there has been
no break in the tradition. The party
will be misrepresented if the conven-
ton votes to join the alliance of de-
struction.

ment publications. A syndicate
writer in Washington is said to have
distributed at his own expense and
as part of his service to his sub
scribers more than 100000 copies
Of the publications of three depart
ments.
The average government publica-
tion attracts few readers. it can
not circulate unless its circulation
is pushed. The joint committee is
right in demanding that at this
juncture the supply of government
literature be kept rigidly down to
the natural demand. 1t has had to
tread on the toes Of many depart
mental propagandists. 1t is regret
table that their resentment should
induce the President to protest
against Congressional cncroachment
on Executive activities.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-15
A Vote for Lodge
o the Editor of The Tribune

Sir: Into an already much-cloud1 d
polltlcal sky the President has now in
Jected precipitately the league of ma
tlcns as a campaign issue, despite the
imperative demands for readiustmen+
OF our growing domestic and social
problems. Yet when it is remembered
how Incompatible is the significance
attaching to the proposal of such an
aorupt change in the whole course of
our national policy it is only just that
all OF our people should have the full
est opportunity to be heard.
But II the objective next after ma
tional interest is party success the
Republicans must face some stern
facts and lay aside or forget, tempo
rarlly at least, some of the crudpes
preJudlces and personal sensibilities
no" giving rise to party differences,
winch may prove to be irreconciIable
with the league of nations as an issue
therefore, and Mr.. Bryan looming large
upon the Democratic horizon, the Re-
publlcans must nominate candidate
whose position is not only sound on
this pivotal question, but one whose en-
tire course has been guided by such
clear vision and consistent courage that
ne can command the confidence Of all
elements in his party. And from the
death of the imperishable Roosevelt
and the triumphant return of President
wilson from his first visit to Paris
what man preeminently more than Sen
ator Lodge has typified the view of the
American patriot, almost reckless with
regard to his own personal and politi .al
fortunes until the great fight was won ?
The Republican press is unanimous in
Its approval of his choice as temporary
chairman of the Chicago conventions:
even his opponents are moved to con-
gratulatory expressions on the hand
some Endorsement of his own state, and
he is everywhere honored at home and
respected abroad.
A lifelong personal friend of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, an admiring friend of
General Wood and not without Just
consideration for the genius and capac-
ity of Senator Hiram w. johnson, with
whom he has recently held the most in
innate political association, who
knows but that the thrill of his key
note speech and the eloquence of his
unseltish appeal for support of our es-
teemed Governor, Calvin Coolidge, may
be but the precursors Of his own nom
ination?
