New-York tribune., 1920-06-09

Of the magnates Of the "heavy in
dustry"; the Democrats and Major
ity Socialists had neither. The In
dependents exploited the lesson of
the "Kappade," engineered by the
officers corps, so dear to the heart Of
the Ebert regime, and defeated by
the workers own weapon, the gen
eral strike. The Conservatives ar
gued that only the militarists can
save the fatherland and that Kapp
had not really failed because he
never had a chance.
1t seems unlikely that any govern
ment will be able to exist on the
strength of the present coalitions
backing. More probable is the for
nation Of an anti-Socialist block. in
which the Peoples party would be
supported by the Catholic Center.
But that would drive the Majority
Socialists and the trade unions
straight into the arms Of the Inde-
pendents. On the whole, it would
seem that German politics is about to
crystalline clearly along the lines Of
class struggle, with the Right taking
the offensive, as a novel feature.

Dark Horses

Much is heard of dark horses
these days, and most Americans
understand so perfectly what is
meant by the term that few give a
thought to the origin of this strik-
ing phrase.
Most authorities content them
selves with describing the term as
"an Americanism springing from
the racetrack and adapted to poll
tics" A story which at least has
the virtue of being explicit gives a
more entertaining explanation. Ac-
cording to an early political writer
who stands as authority for this
version, the dark horse had its
origin, most appropriately, in Ken
lucky. In the early days of the
Bluegrass State nearly every town
had It's racecourse, and racing meets
were of frequent occurrence
An odd character, named judge
Mcllveigh, travelled about from one
meet to another, and was regarded
as such an honest and unpreiudiced
person that he usually was called
upon to officiate in the judges stand:
hence his title. Arriving at a small
town one day, the judge found the
sportingly inclined divided between
two local favorites, on which thew
were wagering all they possessed
Horses were not registered then as
they are now, and no attention was
being paid to black horse that had
been driven into town hitched to a
buggy and had been entered in the
contest. But Judge McIlveigh had
seen this buggy horse perform on
other tracks, and knew that, in pres
ent-day racetrack parance, it was n
ringer" 1t was not the iudpc's
business TO interfere, but when an
pealcd to for an expression of opin,
ion as to the chances of the favorites
he replied:
Gentlemen, suggest that you
New-York tribune., 1920-06-09

save enough for supper. There's a
dark horse in this race"
The significance of his remark, &C.
cording to the story, was lost on the
local "wise ones" with the result
that the owner of the clark horse"
carried away all their money.
But the dark horse quickly be-
came a byword around Kentucky
tracks, and it's application to poll
tics was only step.
Whether this story is truth CIR fic-
tion, it is certain that the phrase was
in common use in American politics
at an early day. For instance, Her
man Eduard Won Hoist, the German
biographer of John c. Calhoun, says:
"Polk was what in the political
slang Of the day was known as a
dark horse"
If the phrase really originated in
America it was quickly adopted in
England, for Thackeray used it in
his "Adventures of Philip" Philip
remarking in regard to talk about
candidates for Parliament:
"Why, bless my soul, he can't
mean me. Who is the dark horse he
has in his stable?"
1t appears also in Disraeli's
Young Duke" novel of great
popularity in it's day A race is
one of the incidents of the book, and
the finish is thus described:
"The first favorite was never
heard of, the second favoritc was
never seen after the distance post,
all the ten-to-ones were in the rear.
and dark horse that had never
been thought of rushed past the
grandstand in sweeping triumph"
Bryce, in his "American Common
wealth" without attempting to trace
the origin of the phrase, thus ex-
plains its significance:
"a dark horse is a person not very
widely known in the community at
large, but known rather for good
than for evil. Speaking
generally, the note of the dark horse
Is respectability verging on color
lessness, good sort of person to
fall back upon when able but dan
gerous favorites have proved impos-
sible."

The Convention Problem

The believers in direct government
with the ancient theory Of represen-
tation reduced to the lowest limits
ought to be pleased at the notion of
a leaderless convention. But they do
not seem to be- Neither does any one
else, least of all the members of the
convention. Every one at Chicago is
looking for leader-just as every
voter in the primaries was looking
for a leader.
Perhaps it is too soon to draw con-
clusions, but is not the idea percolat-
ing that leaderless convention is
just as impossible as leaderless
primary; or referendum, or any
other popular vote?, There is no such
thing, as a matter Of fact. The in
stinct which makes a crowd demand
leadership is one of the basic in
stincts of the human race. 1t is nom
sense to expect any body Of humans,
whether numbered by the dozens,
hundreds or thousands, to function
without leadership.
The only question is as ito the
quality of leadership. What method
produces the ablest leadership? Here
is the one criterion which should de-
termine the fate of the direct nri.
mary, the referendum and every
other device of direct voting. Once
we have put aside the idealistic the
ory that the people are able to act as
a mass without leadership, we can
face the true problem far more in
telligently. That it is still far from
solved is the first point upon which
agreement ought to be reached. You
cannot belittle convention, make it
as much rubber stamp as possible,
and expect it to show ability and
leadership. Whether the direct pri-
mary has gone too far or has not
gone far enough, there ought to be a
concentration of the brains of the
country in the coming years upon the
problem of combining an expression
Of the popular will concerning issues
and candidates with the creation Of
an able and responsible convention.

Concern From Blame

The Tribune in April and MAY, 1919,
pubilshed series of articles entitled
"Germany's Plot to Gas the Worlds
Trade prepared from reports in the
office of the Alien Property Custodian
and other government departments and
published to inform the public of Ger
many's plans for trade domination in
the reconstruction period following the
World War. One of the articles made
mention of the Forstmann & Huffman
Company, Of Passaic, N. j., one of the
leading woolen mills Of the country,
whose president and chief stockholder
IS Julius Forstmann.
Counsel for the Forstmann & Huff
mann Company are of the opinion that
The Tribune publication, taken in con-
nection with the headlines. ADVERTISE
ments and other matter, reflected upon
the honorable conduct and management
OF the company before the United
States entered the war, it's fidelity to
the interest of the country during the
war, and in addition gave color for
believing that after the war this COM
pany would be found linked IN with
Germany's attempt to establish her
grip on world trade. The Tribune be-
lleves that the article was not suscep-
tlble of those interpretations and it
neither has made nor has had any in
tentlon to make anv reflections upon
the loyalty of Mr.. Forstmann or his
company. If there were any reflections
upon the business integrity of either
they were incorrect
At Mr. Forstmann's request The
Tribune, since the article was pub
lIshed, has reviewed the evidence upon
Which the reports in the government
departments were based and finds no
basis for any imputation affecting the
loyalty or honorable conduct of the
Forstmann & HUFFMAN Company or
OF Mr.. Forstmann, and it has no reason
to doubt that the company's affairs
were managed and controlled in the in
terests of America. The Tribune has
found no basis for connecting the
company with Germany's scheme for
world trade domination or with anv
dishonorable or discrcditable conduct.
Prior to the entry of the United
States into the war Mr.. Forstmann. at
the request of American citizens and
with the approval of the State Depart
ment, aided in procuring wool to be
shipped to Germany in exchange for
dyestuffs, which were then greatly
needed in this country. The importa
ton of dyestuffs at that time was
highly desirable and Mr.. Forstmann
participated in it, as has been shown.
In order to be of service to this coun
try. The Tribune regrets that a repu-
table American concern has suffered
IN any wise from it's article and pub
lshcs this statement by way of cor
rection in the interests of fairness and
accuracy.

The danger to public health and
safety is so obvious that laws for

essary. Unfortunately, however,
human frailty needs to be braced up
by all sorts Of preventive and pro-
tective measures.
The pernicious habit of splitting on
subway and elevated stairs and plat
forms is another offense that should
be severely dealt with. Laws for
the general good we have in plenty.

The Undiluted Truth of Mezcal
To tho Edi4ar &C TLo Dr.;Ln,a

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mexcal (not mescoD is the name
of species of agare or century plant
Spanish, maguey), and no more like the
peyots (the hihuh of the Huichol and
other Indians of Western Mexico) than
an elephant is like humming bird.
Mezcal is not only the name of the
species of agave mentioned, but it is
also the name of the distilled liouor
(colorless, very volatile and highly in
toxicating) which is made in the fol-
lowing manner: When the plant has
reached it's maturity Cat an age vary
ing from five to ten years, according
to conditions) and the great bulbous
root is saturated with sugar, the leaves
are cut off close to the ground and
thrown away, while the root is chopped
up and baked and the juice is ex-
pressed. When the juice has stood for
forty hours it is sufficiently fermcnted
III is then distilled and drunk as
mezca.
What was said in the article re-
garding peyote or hikuli is in the
main correct. Regarding this plant
and it's numerous uses, particularly
the ceremonial use, you might consult

The German Elections

1t is considerably easier to proph-
esy after the event than before it.
but it did not take any supernatural
faculty to divine the defeat of the
Muller government in the German
elections. The returns, though not
final, tend to verify the general
European tendency toward political
and social extremism. The chau-
vinists and royalists of the PEOPLES
paty-the old National Liberals
and, to lesser extent, the outright
Pan-Germanists of the German Ma
tional party, on the one hand, and
the Independent Socialists, on the
other, show heavy gains; the Major
lty Socialists strength seems almost
cut in half. while the Democrats, or
bourgeois radicals-the Girondists of
the German revolution-are practi-
cally wiped out as factor.
Apart from this general anti-lib-
eral trend there are reasons pecul-
larly German for the apparent de-
feat of the Miller regime and the
victory Of the extremists. The gov
ernment, backed by the coalition of
Majority Socialists, Democrats and
Centrists, had to go into the elections
on its record, which is pitiable one,
both for achievement and prestige.
The opposition on both flanks made
promises of radical nature. The
Ebert administration tried to be all
things to all men; it's weak brand of
liberalism satisfied nobody, but fire.
ouently exasperated even it's own
friends.
The jingoes Of the Right marched
to battle with flaming speeches about
the ruin Of the fatherland, caused bv
the nefarious republicans; they
charged the disintegration of Ger.
man power, wealth and prestige to
poor Ebert himself, who was an ef-
feet aud not a cause. On the other
hand, the Independents conten1ed
that the achievements of the quasi
Socialist government in the field of
specialization. are nil; that it surren-
GERS on every step to the old bureau
cracy and officer caste. In the field
OF international relations, again. the
Right is for reputation of the
Treaty of Versailles, come what
may, while the Independent Social
lists alone among German parties ad-
vocate the fulfillment of Germanv's
obligations, suggesting that it will
not hurt the German worker.if the
profits of the German capitalist are
paid over to the Allies, especially if
the credit and standing of the conn
try can be restored through tho
transaction.
The government, standing - or.
rather, swaying-in the middle.
dared not advocate reputation and
was unwilling to enact the sweenino
economic changes without which tho
war bill cannot be paid. Concen-
trating all it's energy on sitting
tight, the Muller administration
failed even in that task.
The tactics Of the election also
worked to the disadvantage Of tho
modcratee. The Independents had
gorgeous slogans. The Peoples
parry had--and spent~--all the cash

Sir: 1t is to be hoped that you
splendid editorial in this morning
issue concerning the character an
ability of Major General Leonar
Wood will be read by each and ever
one of the delegates to the Repub
can convention at Chicago.
A year and half ago it was m
good fortune II hear General Woo
speak in eulogy of Theodore Roosevelt
IN Convention Hall, Kansas City, No
before an audience that packed th
house to the rafters. That speech
coupled with the known accomplish
ments of the man, convinced me the
and there that he must be the choc
of the Republicans this year.
Is it possible the so-called "0l
Guard" will be permitted to repeat IT
past fatal blunders; is it possible the
the man who has received the ma
jority of popular votes in all test'
throughout the country is to be SCI
aside and some one "acceptable7 Il
the "Old Guard" put over?
1t is inconceivable that Hiram John
son should be given the slightest coz
sideration whatever. We have MIN II
thank for the reelection Of WoodroV
Wilson He also is the candidate ..
William Randolph Hearst Who does
not remember the cartoons in the
Hearst papers ridiculing Mckinley and
Hanna? Who does not remember ths
Hearst editorials attacking McKinley
almost up to the day when the Pres
dent was shot? Who does not remembs'
that in the attempt to appease public
opinion Hearst changed the name o.
his paper from "The Journal" 70
"The American? Similarly, in 1911
after doing his best to keep US ou'
of war with Germany, he covered the
front sheets Of his newspaper wi
drawings of the American flag in an o.
tempt to cover his past words sna
deeds.
Who will vote for man receiving
the backing of William Randolp'

In taking up the various other candf|
dates mentioned as possibilities, wn'1
one measures up to the standard SCI
by Major General Wood What on'
has served his country to the exte'l
that General Wood has done? The s'l
