Mr.. Marshall,s Sympathy

please accept my sincere SYM
pathy." In such non-funny, humor-
Gus fashion Nice-President Marshall
sent his congratulations to Governor
Coolidge.
Mr.. Marshall is obviously dissatis-
fed with his experience. His is not
a temperament to be content with
honorable inaction But his COM
plant should be against the Admin
istration rather than his office.
What right has he to assume that
Mr.. Harding will be as Mr.. Wilson
has been? President Mckinley did
not ignore Vice e-President Hobart.
The fundamental difficulty with
the Office of Vice-P President, of
course, is that it represents poten-
tial, not actual, power. The Vice
President is a President in reserve.
The position is trying. 1t is only
human for the one to reflect how
differently he would do things were
he in the others place. That Mr..
Marshall would have done things
very differently from Mr.. Wilson
may easily be believed.
Various plans for making the
Nice-President more than the presid-
ing officer Of the Senate have been
propounded, but have come to little
The initiative lies with the President
himself. He could make the Vice
President member of the Cabinet,
for example, and thus keep him in
close touch with Administration
policies. The success Of such an
experiment would depend upon the
breadth and the common sense Of the
two men. Governor Coolidge will
doubtless find the Vice Presidency a
much more agreeable place than Mr..
Marshall has found it.

Your attitude in those days and your

were certainly at variance with the

Your following is assuredly far diff

Americans al London

The clear. sweep tol oua Ameri-
car tennis players a. tn, London
tournament gives thrilling force u
those hopes whict. tenri.' fans OF.
this side Of the ccea1 have beer en-
tertaining. There remains historic
Wimbledon, 0: course. where the
champion does not play through the
tournament anG where stronger op-
position is to be met throughout.
But an excellent beginning has been
made, and our men, at least Messrs.
Johnston and TIlden, upon whom
American success almost wholly de-
pends, are plainly playing in excel
lent form.
SO far as England goes, the effects
of the war are still plainly to be
felt. Every one will recall that gal
liant figure of the courts, Anthony
Wlldlng, and mourn his loss, glorious
as was his death in the cause of all
of US on the now distant La Bass6e
road. It is likely to be several years
before England can recruit her ten
mis- forces again. Meantime, other
nations have forged to the front.
Our own team ranks with the very
best we have ever achieved. The
Wimbledon cham pionship has never
been won by an American, despite
number of invasions; but if Mr..
Johnston or Mr.. Tilden does not now
come through to success there will
be surprise both here and abroad,
where the rare ability of these two
players is already warmly appre-
ciated.

Preparing the Way

The statement of Mr.. McAdoo
declaring his 'irrevocable" decision
not 10 be a Presidential candidate
will be read (and seemingly must be
read) as implying he recognizes the
impropriety of having two members
of one family as candidates before
the San Francisco convention.
A week ago Mr.. McAdoo, when at
Chicago, indicated he would accept
the nomination if offered. He has
changed his mind, and presumptive-
ly because of something he has
since learned. Mr.. McAdoo appar-
emily construes the maneuverings
in which the President is now en-
gagged as others construe them.
The President seems to want a
deadlock at San Francisco, as the
Senatorial managers at Chicago
wanted a deadlock there. To what
end? That he may the more easily
dictate the nomination and the plat
form. and beyond this perhaps that
he nay create situation leading
up TO his denomination.
Tie course Of the President since
his Jackson Day letter suggests he
proposes, if opportunity offers, to
present himself again. He has
schemed to keep the treaty discus
sion alive. He prevented ratifca-
ton. The record is scarcely explica-
bic except on the theory that he
thought ratification implied his re-
tirement.
Perhaps he would be satisfied to
dictate the nomination-of Senator
Glass, for example. But it is not in
tie Presidents temperament to trust
others He is suspicious. Another
might be named by him and yet in
Office refuse to be a ventriloquial
dummy.
It is, Of course, impossible to know
what are the Presidents purposes.
He delights in antiquities and eva
SONS. So in the present instance
predictions are scarcely worth while.
But il there IS to be an attempt to
perpetuate Wisconsin the country
would welcome an opportunity to ex-
press an opinion with Mr. Wilson
as a candidate.

The First to Prepare

These men who, inspired by General
Wood, were the first to take practical
steps 10 prepare themselves and to
arouse the country for our inevitable
participation in the war, individually
and not in any way as an organization,
were largely behind the movement TO
nominate General Wood for the Presi-
dency. All over the country they were
among the tirst to jump to hia sup
port. They were Joined by hundreds
OF thousands of people, and the popular
d, II and for General Woods nomination
far exceeded that for any other candi-
date. This was clearly shown by the
Literary Digest poll, in which General
Wood received 277,486 votes for first
ing's 36,795; and we cannot find your
name even mentioned in the final fig
ures Of the poll.
General Woods supporters may be
accused of amateurishness. They were
guieless enough to believe that the
Presidential primary system was in
tended to give the voters an opportu-
nifty to express their preferences and
that these preferences would have at
least some weight in the nomination.
They therefore attempted to make Cen
eral Woods career and qualifications
known to the supposed electorate all
over the country. Such an attempt in
a country Of this size is stupendous
and naturally very expensive. The
postage alone on a postcard TO 10000,
600 voters is 100000. These ardent
supporters of General Wood wanted
others 10 know him as they knew him,
and undertook a publicity campaign for
this purpose They gave time, work
and money without any thought Of self
What they did was not only strictly
lawful, but the natural and normal
way to reach the people. Just as these
men had eagerly gone into the army
during the war as a matter of duty to
the country, so in this critical time
they ardently enlisted for what they
firmly believed to be equally patriotic
service.

The Dishonest Deleeate

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir With the memory Of the recent
Presidential primaries and absence Of
any visible effect they had on the dele
gates to the convention fresh in nv
mind, is It not good time to do q ljttle
thinking toward correcting the evils Of
unrepresentative government which we
now enjoy-at least, make start at il ,
When man is appointed postmaster
his duty is to serve the people in the
matter Of forwarding and delivering
their mail. II he is faithlcss to mis-
trust we put him in prison.
When he is employed in a banking
business he is in duty bound to handle
the peoples money as they wish and
direct. If he uses our money for selfish
ends he is quickly punished, and dis
honor IS often not only his lot, but his
children suffer also the blight.
Yet when the same people select a
delegate TO represent US at a caucus or
convention, and tell him in what he is
to represent US and how he is to do Il,
and he forgets our wishes, ignores our
expressed commands and all TOO often
forges our names, as it were, TO public
orders, and bids. and bills of sale and
barters, and in all the devious WAYS
that only a good politician knows.
and all absolutely contrary to our com
mands he gets off without even trial.
Of course. it is important that our
mail is handled honestly. No one wants
TO lose even copper through the Dis
honesty of his banker. But when the
man who is pledged to represel Us in
convention. or is sworn to do his dutv
IN the legislature, ignores those whor,
he represents. and uses the pledges to
the people as q stepping-stone to PEI
sonal gain for himself alone, t.at- on.

is dishonest in political trust, who

Setting Aside Nature

In commencement day address
before the University of Iowa George
E. Roberts, who took for his subject
The Supremacy of Economic Law"
showed himself courageous; not, per
haps, as intrepid as it would have
been a few years ago, when the de-
lusion gained great headway that
human nature could be repealed by
the fiat Of legislature, but, never
tAeless, still brave.
The first economic law which Mr.
Roberts mentioned was the impulse
of every living thing to grow and to
command the means Of growth. In
human society this manifests itself
in the desire Of an individual to bet
ter his condition. This, in turn
leads to struggle, and struggle, in
turn again, implies controversy and
disharmony, But then come in the
correctives Of intelligence, not get
ting rid Of contest, but modifying its
bitterness. As men and women be-
come enlightened they develop what
Emerson called the "facility Of asso-
ciation' ability to see that self
ISL desire is better fed by social har-
mony and cooperation than by war
to the knife. And facility of asso-
citation is the child not only Of intel
ligence but Of good viii, sincerity
and moral conceptions.
The great fault Of large part of
present-day economic and sociologi-
cal discussion is that it relies too
much on logic. 1t sees the Ills Of
struggle, and argues that q cessation
Of struggle is the supreme good; it
sees the good Of cooperation and as
sumes that cooperation cannot 90 too
far. 1t ignores the fact that except
for the energizing influence Of the
struggle instinct cooperation would
be dead and an unwholesome torpor
would engulf and degrade the spe-
cies. The contradictions must CO.
cxist-anothcr one Of the paradoxes
which are incident to life.
The interaction Of these forces is
beyond the wit Of man to regulate
with perfect nicely. The Institutions
Of to-day are not the result Of any
plan Of human origin. They repre-
sent more or less unstable equi-
librium which has come principally
without conscious thought. 1t is the
way Of progress. The world has
never known any other.
The great machine which pulses
on can be injured arid wcllnigh DO
stroyed, az III Russia, but we are
+ powcrless much to help It's work

and perhaps prevent epicycles, but

OF the headiaad there IS emptiness.
And the moaning Of the ocean.
And the black rock standing alone.
In the orange wake OF sunset.
When the gulls have fallen silent,
And the winds slip out and meet to-
gether from the edges OF the sea,
Settled down in the dark water.
Fragment Of the earth abandoned.
Ragged and huge the black rock stands

Stood and listened very intent!y
To the everlasting swish and boom and
hiss Of spray.

While afar OF. to the westward.
Dark clouds silently are packed together,
With duh red glow between.
Gulls wheel near it IN the sunlight.
White backs fash
Gray wings eddy, curl, are lifted. swept

On wave:
Gulls pass rapidly in the sunlight
Round about il
Gulls pass. screaming harshly to the
wavethrusts,
Laughing in uncanny voices;
Lonely hocks of great white birds,
Like to ghosts.
But the black rock does no. welcome
them,
Knows by heart already all their cries;
Hears, repeated, for the millionth mil

All the bitterness Of ocean
Howling through their voices.
II still dreams Of other things.
OF the cities and the fields,
And the lands near TO the coast
Where the lonely grassy valleys
ful OF dun herds deeply browsing,
Sweep in wide curves to the sea:
Il still holds the memory
OF the Wild bees booming. murmuring,
In the fields of thyme and clover.
And the shadows Of broad trees
Toward noon.
In the morning.
When the dark clouds whirl swift over.
From the southeast, dragging with them
Heavy curtains OF gray rain.
