To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: If you know Iron River and
the Iron River country in Michigan
you would agree with me that the So
called rum rebellion" couldn't be.
I spent the winter two years ago
there and I know that country and it's
people. In area this stretch of the
Michigan peninsula EQUALS that of New
Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut COM
bined, with enough lert over to furnish
a good start for another state. The
to Lansing to attend the sessions have
to travel as far as from New York to
Chicago to get there. 1t is the most
wonderful clover country in the world.
1t is the great hope Of this country for
sheep raising. 1t produces the richest
iron and copper ore in the world. They
throw away on the roads ore that is
higher grade than anything mined in
Germany or France. In the Iron River
country it is known as dow grade
iron ore" In Europe it is high grade.
It produces miles and miles of tele-
graph posts annually. 1t produce es
hardwood lumber by the million feet
of the highest type in the world. 1t
is a wonderful place, with long win
ters and short summers. The growing
season Is short, but the work that ma
ture does in that short time is as
founding. In fact, it is Garden of
Eden with a wonderful winter thrown
in-scenery, atmosphere, flowers, nat
ural resources and people that are not
excelled anywhere.
Another thing. Michigan went dry
long before the Federal amendment It
was voted on. 1t went dry peacefully,
and the Upper Peninsula went dry with
it. There was no struggle; no fight;
1t was the will of the majority, and In
that country the majority rules, and
the majority is always right.
In Iron River they have boiled shirts,
but they prefer wool khaki. They have
patent leather shoes, but they prefer
boots. They are Americans through
and through, no matter what their
names may be- Iron River country has
no room for anything but Americana.
They do not defy the law. When 3
law is placed on the statute books they
obey.
When the United States went into
the war there was no work for the
draft board In tha Iron River coun-
try. Every man who should have gone
went. The draft board had to report
only on cripples, feeble minded, old
men and those who had died mean
time. They had no slackers, no draft
dodgers and no conscientious objectors
There are millionaires in the Iron
River country, and their boys lined up
alongside the miners boys, and they
all marched away together.
When the boys went away the Home
Guard Units were formed, and the
Governor had to notify the people IN
the Upper Peninsula to quit organizing
companies, as the ranks were overfull
The State Militia went to the war
Its ranks were Immediately filled. The
| Home Guard followed in their places

Ihe Call of the Party

Washington saw no need of politi
cal parties as they have existed in
this country even from the days of
his administration. He called men
of such contrary political tendency
as Hamilton and jefferson to his
Cabinet. He chiefly thought of gov
ernment as business agency.
If men were but patriotic and
sensible he thought they should get
along in one organization. To his
influence the original Electoral Col
lege was largely due This college
allowed no place for partisanship
and sought merely the best man.
Washington was filled with uneasi-
ness when he saw partyism, which
he called faction, arising, and de-
voted a large part Of his Farewell
Address to exhortation against it.
Nevertheless, parties-two of them
came and have remained.
Most of those friendly to the
Hoover Presidential candidacy as
non-partisan are, of course, but
camouflaging partisanship. Their
party, the Democratic one, is in a
bad way, and, not wanting line
up, they turn to Mr.. Hoover as their
party forebears in 1872 turned to
Greeley. SO we see such engaging.
robust, swashbuckling partisans as
Brother Cobb, Of The World, put on
the clothes and the meek demeanor
of the mugwump. The strategy is
simple. Boss Murphy named Judge
Gaynor, whom he did not like, to
head a ticket whose other members
Murphy selected and hoped to elect.
But an element exists which is as
sincerely partisan as Washing
ton was. In many manifestations
parties are obviously absurd. In
many respects the dividing lines are
shadowy. So, coalition is thus
naturally called for and there is a
desire to center about one man. The
answer is that, whatever theoretical
defense there is for such coalition.
experience has shown that the
American people do not function
politically in this manner. They see
reasons for permanent parties.
There is no rational prospect of in
ducing both or either of the major
parties to go into eclipse. Mr..
Hoover, no matter what he person
ally prefers, has learned that he
must be candidate of one party or
the other, or else be satisfied to lead
small group not more important
nationally than locally were the
well-meaning "Goo-Goos" on which
Lawrence Godkin wasted his ener-
gies.
But the Hoover -partisanship
is more than merely revival Of the
Washington kind. One can detect a
flavor of the foreignism Of the Euro
pean continent. The parliamentary
countries of the European continent
have many parties, each represent
New-York tribune., 1920-02-29

ing some specialized set of ideas.
Issues count for more than organiza-
ton. There is no sympathy for the
persistent party dualism such as has
marked the political life of Great
Britain and this country.
Having lived the greater part Of
his adult life abroad. Mr.. Hoover
naturally does not acknowledge the
party tie, as do most of his fellow
citizens. For example. probably he
does not much understand why it
should be said Mr.. Colby has shown
instability by belonging to three par
ties in as many years.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-29
A Fresh Start

Italy and Jugo-Slavia are now to
conduct direct negotiation. That is
tie upshot of the Adriatic corre-
spondence. The umpires having
failed to agree, the ungrateful labor
Of compromise is thrust back on the
two principals.
Neither Italy nor Jugo-Slavia has
heretofore cared especially to settle
their dispute directly Each power
has believed it could obtain more
from the peace council than it could
BY bargaining with the other. The
Italians at Paris were armed with
the guarantees of the Treaty of Lon
don-a compact still recognized as
binding by France and Great Britain.
The Jugo- -Slavs felt that their case
was fortified by President Wilson's
championship, especially his assump-
ton that the Fourteen Points, oper-
ating in the case of the German
treaty, also applied to the settle
ments with Austria and Hungary.
Much of the misunderstanding in
this country of Italys position IS due
10 ideas IKE these, expressed yester-
day in The World:
when the Allies signed the armis-
sce on November 4 CD, 1918. they
agreed to make peace not only on the
basis Of President Wilson's Fourteen
Points, but on the basis of his sub
segment addresses on the aims and
objects of the war. That armstice
was quite as sacred an engagement
as the Pact OF London. or any other
secret diplomatic engagement"
The German armistice was signed
with the stipulation that the Four
teen Points should be adhered to in
the peace treaty with Germany.
But the armistice with Austria Hun
gary, signed a couple of weeks
earlier, involved no agreement what
ever as to the Fourteen Points. The
process Of dismembering Austria
Hungary began before the war
ended.
Italy will be at disadvantage in
dealing directly with go-Slavia
because the Jugo-Slavs do not recog-
hHe the Treaty of London. But
Italy herself wants to modify that
treaty. If she can acquire Fiume -
or, at least, secure its exclusion
from the Jugo- -Slav state-she is
willing to surrender practically all
her claims on the Dalmatian coast.
ANY workable settlement in the
Adrlatlc must be a compromise. 1t
must represent detection from
nard-and-fast principles. 1t must
recognize political and other claims,
ana cannot wholly ignore the terri
'ofaal pledges made to Italy when
she entered the war.
Jugo-Slavia is a war-made state.
italy helped to create her and she
needs Italy as a friend. She has
more TO lose than Italy has by hold
ing out for extreme things. For
italy can fall back on the Treaty of
london, which she can easily enforce
With the aid of Great Britain and
france. Whereas Jugo-Slavia can
only fall back on President Wilson'S
tneorles to enforce which he is
poWerless to send a man or ship to
Inc Mediterranean.

and Macy Journal of last week

ana Macy Journal of last week
stated:
From navy authority we have
an estimate that more than 1000
designations will be handed to Secre-
tary Daniels If the pay bill fails, and
that the Secretary will be compelled
by circumstances and disheartened
and dissatisfied condition among the
commissioned personnel to relax his
rule against accepting designations
from officers of less than eight years
service in the navy"
1T cost approximately $4,000 to
educate each and every one of these
officers, so when 1000 resign the
government or the navy suffers an
actual money loss of $4,000, 900.
Rather queer economy!

Nor drink with more than brothers
Those quarts of good French wine:
And l did not ride with the Tenth Bri-

To hold the River Rhine.
No more III force
A sweating horse
To face a bursting she'll
Nor ride, alone, by the marching stars,
To hear what the night winds tell,
Nor see in the blaze of the rising sun
The lands where the heroes dwell.
But all the old life gave to ma
You give thousandfold.
The roar Of guns, the songs Of men,
The sunsets red and gold;
The fiame-lit snow, the peace of dawn,
The drums that called the bold,
When first across the fields Of France
The tides of battle rolled.
You are the brave-the beautiful
The great, the true ideal.
The kiss Of dying comrade,
The flash Of sunlit steel,
The love Of men and horses,
The love Of man and wife,
Are concentrated in your eyes.
Ny friend, my heart, my Life!
