MIR. Munsey Casves His Baby

1t would be poorer world that
held no Sun, with its own peculiar
5avelins Of light to tingle the retiras
Of readers. There is bound to be ap-
prehension among old faithfuls Of
the Dana tradition at Mr.. Munsey's
announcement Of the carving Of his
Sun and Herald into it's COM
porent twins and the death for all
time of the old morning Sun.
But Mr.. Munsey has shown his
wisdom before, and why not again
now? A job for Solomon, yes. For
the new Herald to como must un-
uaistakably be assigned to the tribe
OF Bennett, and the task will be
somehow TO transfuse the old Sun
blood into the new Sun of the
evening and satisfy a jealous and
knowing army Of critics.
Can the natural prestige of a
morning paper as leader Of opin-
ion and defner of news be shifted
to an evening paper? That he may
succeed in his daring endeavor, and
that the light of the old Sun may
lose nothing by becoming setting in
stead Of rising rays, will be the hope
Of every one.

The Royal Road to Glorv

The copy books may insist that
there is no such thing as a royal
road to anything, but we know bet
ter. For we have seen the self
advertising which our present Ad-
ministration at Washington is put
ting out--at your expense and our
expense-telling just how great and
good and noble its members are.
Could there be a cheaper and softer
path to fame?
We have before us, for example,
some eight pages of witty matter
extolling the Good faster to H. K.
H., the American Public" This
gentleman is none other than DR..
Carl L. Alsberg, chief of the Bureau
Of Chemistry, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The article is
by one H. P. Sheldon, of the "Di-
vision Of Publications, Office of In
formation" and it is the seventh of
a series. Just how many thousands
OF this immortal piece of publicity
went out, we know not. A taste of
OF its first paragraph will give an
idea of the whole:
"Dr. Carl L. Alsberg, chief of the
Bureau Of Chemistry, United States
department Of Agriculture. gave evi-
dence Of the profession he was to fol-
low quite early in l!ge. On April 2.
1877. without given name, middle
name or degree, he lifted his voice in
unison with two or three million other
New York City babies and announced
that he was interested in food. His
first demand in life was for pure food
for himself, and it seems likely that
his last demand will be for pure food
for other people,"
There Is moro Of the same for
eight pages, ending with the startling
announcement that DR.. Alsberg loves
his mother.
Now, If DR.. Alsberg wished to ad-
vertise hts achievements and per-
sonality In this fashion at his own
expense, there should, Of course, be
no obstacle placed in his way as

A Cold and Foggy Morning

When the Village duelers reached
the Palisades "it was cold and rather
foggy," remarks the impresario of
the event. So the bellicosity in the
hearts of Nikolas Murray and
Jacques La Sale CONCEALED - the
courteous but implacable hatred that
CLEANS in the eyes of duelists gave
way to a softer expression. The
warriors could not remember how
their honor had been affronted-
anyway, the difference was trivial.
But M. Rosko, by emphasizing the
weather, does not do full justice to
himself as a managing diplomat.
Principal in six duels and a second
in twenty-seven, he is learned in all
the niceties and punctilios of the
dueling art. He found that the
crude Americans have ignorantly
passed laws which do not recognize
the code. So he left the rapiers at
home and told the two raging lions
that if they fought it must be with
fists. The argument was persuasive.
Some one might be hurt-at least
get black eye
Lincoln, when challenged, said,
having the choice Of weapons, that
he would select axes; he stipulated
that the combatants, each keeping
at least one foot in contact with a
twelve-inch plank, on the ground be-
tween them, should chop away at
one another. The party returned
from the tryst of death with no
blood spilled. Perhaps NJ. Rosko
is Americanized enough to know the
story and applied it.
But it was a cold and foggy morn
ing! Perhaps it would not be neces-
sary to have punitive statutes if it
were provided that hostile meetings
should occur only when there is a
chill that reaches the marrow.

Colby's Flirnsy Excuses

Secretary Colby has tried to ex-
cuse the Presidents refusal to exc
cute Section "a. of the shipping act
by saying that partial abrogation
of our commercial treaties Is i'm
possible. This argument has little
merit. It has no merit at all coming
from him. The Wilson Administra-
ton is absolutely debarred from
using it, since it insisted on and Sc
cured the partial abrogation of some
OF our commercial treaties after the
passage Of the La Toilette searen's
act. In cases in which it failed to
secure partial abrogation it termi-
mated the treaties as a whole.
Section "a of the shipping act is
modelled on similar section in the
La Toilette act. The Administration
stood behind the La Toilette meas
ure, and after it's passage informed
the various governments affected
Of its desire to abrogate certain
articles and provisions Of our COM
mercial treaties. Great Britain, in
note dated July 29, 1915, accepted
the abrogation of these@portions of
our treaty with her. France did
likewise, on February IA, 1916.
Denmark accepted a partial abroga-
tion on June 2, 1916. Greece as
sented on May 7, 1916. Other ma
tions fell into line subsequently.
There were cases, however, in
which foreign powers refused their
assent. The Netherlands, for in
stance, held out. Thereupon the
President gave the years notice re-
quircd to terminate our commerce
and navigation agreements with that
country. These went out of ex-
istence on May 10, 1919. The
Swedish treaty was abrogated in it's
entirety on February 4, 1910 Spain
was for time unwilling to agree to
the notifications required by the La
Toilette act. She backed down, how
ever, when our government threat
ened TO terminate the existing treaty
of commerce.
The Administration cannot prop
erly criticize Congress for directing
the President to do again what he
has cheerfully done before. It can
not plead excuses for inaction for
which it had no tolerance when it
was a question of enforcing SINH
lar law which happened to be to it's
own liking.

Our Naval Policies

The people of the United States
are intensely interested in the SUBJ
ject of national defense. The men
and women Of this country made a
wonderful record in the World War.
They desire peace hereafter, but
they realize that preparedness will
best insure peace. Moreover they
fully realize that our naval and
military policies must be intelli-
gently considered in order to secure
the maximum Of efficiency with the
utmost economy in time Of peace.
Our military policies in the past,
and particularly during the past
seven years, have resulted in great
wastefulness, heavy taxation, lack
Of organization and complete un-
readiness for war. The time has
come for reform.
The Tribune will give careful
consideration to these subjects in
the future. The truth will be en-
phasized, editorially and in articles
specially prepared by experts. 1t is
not a political question. 1t is
national question. The people must
know the truth. The first of series
Of articles on this subject will be
found in another column.

bred up to a high standard and he
maintained it.
In the activities Of the Grolier
Club, again continuing the enthu-
siasm Of his father with q devotion
Of his own, he shared sympathetic
cally and with as much energy as
his health permitted. It was always
delightful to encounter him at the
monthly meetings. He had humor-
GUS, engaging habit in conversation.
Modestly he would comment on the
objects in the cases or on the walls,
and sometimes they would start
him upon amusing "reminiscences. He,
had retired years ago from the busi-
ness Of dealing in works Of art, but
pictures and books never lost their
appeal to him. The collectors in
stinct was in his blood.
For a long time in his retirement
he gave himself to the distinctive
hobby Of his life, ancient Chinese
cloisonne. AS the subject grew upon
him he assembled one Of the finest
groups in the world of rare and
beautiful pieces and finally gave
them to the Brooklyn Museum. That
was in 1909. The catalogue ran to
generous numbers then, but he was
always adding to the collection,
always interesting himself in its in
stallation, and it is good to know
that for some years before his death
he had the satisfaction Of seeing his
treasures making really magnif-
cent display in public institution.
The public is in his debt for this
particular gift, but those who knew
him deplore his loss with a tender
emotion, tingeing their admiration
for what he gave and did as a con-
noisseur. They will linger over the
memory Of the man. They will
think of him az he was on his be-
loved little island In the North, dedi-
Gated to the quiet joys Of fishing,
laughing over the fun Of life in the
woods. He was a good companion,
man who had affections and in
spired them.

America and the Air Race

Tho injury to Roland Rohlfs may
result in the withdrawal of Ameri-
can entries from the air race which
starts to-day, rather than endanger
the lives Of the American pilots.
The injury to Rohlfs resulted
from conditions which exist in the
landing facilities at Etampes. The
field, it is said, is not equipped for
high speed machines. Tests have
shown that at least two Of the Amer
ican entries will be capable Of aver
aging 200 miles an hour, while the
French entries have not exceeded
ITO miles an hour. Perhaps the
French club did not foresee such
terrific speed as 200 miles an hour
as a possibility and chose a field
which, while admittedly rough, was
adequate for the lower speed.
The withdrawal Of the American
entries would rob the important
race of true international charac-
ter and at the same time prevent
a true test Of highest speed that
aviation has developed. The Cor
don Bennett race itself is based
entirely upon speed, the CHIEF asset
Of aviation in it's bid as a means Of
transportation.
1t is to be hoped that the Ameri-
can officials on the scene in France
will be able to find some means Of
overcoming the difficulties and so
participate in the race.

S. p. Averv

One reflection is inevitable among
the many friends who mourn the
recent death Of Samuel P. Avery at
his home in Hartford. "How like
his father he was!" they are bound
to exclaim. And the allusion, which
has affection in it, is one significant
also of the broad appreciation which
must follow upon acquaintance with
the facts Of his career. The younger
Avery was like the elder in that he
had a kindly, lovable personality.
The one was like the other, more
over, in standing for a tradition of
good taste. Both were dealers in
works of art. Both thought Of the
interests of art as we'll as of the
commercial issues with which thew
were concerned.
The elder Avery, as has more
than once been pointed out in the
columns of The Tribune, was an i'm
portant figure in the generationxthat
developed the art collector in Ameri-
can life. When he obtained for the
late w. H. Vanderbilt the pictures
which made the gallery Of that
gentleman famous he went for them
to the masters of the Barbizon
school, as we'll as to the better types
Of the French Salon. Like the late
Daniel Cottier, his contemporary. he
looked for artistic values in artistic
qualities. Collectors counted him
their friend. He gave them the ad-
vice Of true connoisseur. His son
followed in his footsteps.
In the little gallery which the
younger Avery maintained for manv
years in Fifth Avenue, just above
Thirty-fourth Street, he had a wav
OF showing good pictures. He, too,
interested himself in the Barbizon
men, and he, too, like his father,
was sagacious eclectic, dealing in
the works Of all the schools--so that
they were artistic. Nor did he
neglect the paintings of his coun-
srymens early and Late He was

why should the taxpayers Of Amer
lea be burdened to buy this slice of
glory for any one merely because he
happens to be a Wilson appointee?
Plainly the influence Of Creel lives
on after him. Once the propaganda
bug was turned loose in the Admin
istration no one was safe. If you
can sell "peace" and humanity" and
"Wilsonism" to q people by getting
enough smart patter printed about
it, why not sell food faster or any
thing else? Smart business? Well
say it is, seeing that the public pays
the bill.

Exchange Scholarships With
Mexico
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / wish to call attention to the
plan which has been adopted by the
American Chamber of Commerce of
Mexico for securing an interchange Of
scholarships between educational in
stitutions in the United States and in
Mexico, and which Is being worked out
very successfully by our committee on
Mexican-American scholarships.
We have already had an offer from
the University of Texas of siMscholar-
ships, each one to carry gift of $500
year, and we have reason to believe
that we shall be able within a few
months 10 offer between fifty and one
hundred scholarships to Mexican
youths here who are chosen for US by
the heads Of Mexican universities and
colleges in Mexico City.

Calvin Coolidge Says

(F'rom his address at fremont
Temple, Norember 2, 1879
The most outstanding feature Of the
war has been the assertion of the ma
tionsl spirit. Each nationality is con-
tending for the right to have its own
government, and in that is meeting
with the sanction of the free peoples
of the earth. We are discussing a.
league Of nations. Such a league, if
formed, is not for the purpose, must
not be for the purpose, of diminis ishing
the spirit or influence of cur nation,
but to make that spirit and influence
more real and more effective. Believ-
ing in our nation thoroughly ard un-
reservedly, confident that the evidence
of the Fast and present justihes that
belief, it is our one desire to make
America more American. There is no
greater service that we can render the
oppressed of the earth than to main
tain inviolate the freedom of our own
citizens.

Taking the Joy Out of the

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to your correspond.
ent's letter in to-day's Tribune, signed
Murray Hill," asking Where Are the
Tenants ?" let me tell him that he will

who can pay from $50 to $3.50 month

but the respectable, we'll educated

are looking for a decent place to get

gage our incomes for the rest Of our
lives.

three room apartments-many Of them

one and ask the price. | have.
The writer saw a sign hanging from
a private house in Sixty-eighth Street,
and upon making inquiry was informed
that two rooms (usual large room and
connecting hall room) and bath were
$3.50 month-that floor $500 MONTH

that floor! Another instance in the

me he had put in $4,000 worth Of ifn'
provements-that he could not see how
any one had the heart to profiteeF
yet right then he was asking $2,1ee
year for the two front rooms snd
bath on the Srst Hoor-10 per eeus
already on that single investment
The apartment in the rear, same nuas'
Der Of rooms, was $2,4oo. The build
ing was four stories. 1t is simPls

Cox Must E.xnla;n

(From an Editorial In The CHICAGO Tr1buna ,
The New York Tribune's charge that
Governor Cox played an important part
in obtaining exemption from military
service for two wealthy young men is
one of the most serious which the CAM
paign has developed According to a
Washington dispatch printed in that
newspaper, and widely copied, James
G. Scripps and Robert P. Scripps, sons
OF tho publisher Of string of impor-
tant newspapers, were released from
military obligations largely through
Governor Cox's efforts, after exemption
had been denied them by local and dis
trict boards.
The exemption of any Young man
from military service when young men
throughout the country were being
tsken from their homes and businesses
to face German gas, shells and bay
onets Is a serious matter. The exemp-
ton of wealthy men is doubly serious
because it necessarily carries with it the
implication that wealth carried with it
an influence greater than the influence
of justice in the case of the young man
who had no wealth. The fact that the
Scripps papers are now unanimous in
support Of Governor Cox for tho Presi-
deney adds still more to the Importance
OF the case in question.
This is matter which Governor Cox
should explain and clear up immediately.
II ne prefers to ignore it and allow the
public to form its own opinicns as to
the coincidence of the release of the
scripps boys from army service and the
support of the Scripps papers for Gov
ernor Cox, the American Legion can do
no better work than to undertake an
inquiry and make it's findings public.
The charge is too serious To he TO-.
nored. II the facts and the implication
are not as published, Governor Cox
should say 80 at once, and back his
statement with convincing evidence. II
the facts are correct as printed and the
Implication justified, some 1000 900
voters who wore the uniform, suffered
the hardships Of army life and faced
