Easily Satisfied

Practically complete returns from
the Democratic Senatorial primaries
in Oklahoma show that Congress-
man Ferris, who ran as the Presi-
dents candidate, received $4,000
votes, against 10000 for Senator
Gore, who opposed the Presidents S
treaty policy. In Missouri returns
from about half the state show 53,-
600 for Long, pro- Wilson, to $1,000
for Priest, anti Wilson, with $4,000
for Hay and 1000 for Lindsey, the
position of the latter two not being
clearly defined.
The White House is reported
pleased over the results. If so, it is
obviously easily satisfied. In one
state, with all its prestige and ali
the officeholders openly used, it was
able to command only 60 per cent of
the Democratic support, and in the
other state the candidate it actively
CiI@llplOneQ is IN minority. Judge
Priest was a conspicuous gold Dem
ocrat, and Missouri remembers that
he bolted Bryan, so doubtless he was
weaker than his issue.
Various polls have indicated that
the Democrats are fairly evenly
divided-half fiat ratifcationists and
half reservationists. The President
thus has with him something less
than one-quarter of the voting
strength of the country, or can
dragoon this many into supporting
him By his control Of the party ma
chinery, the offices and the Office
holders.

100000 Benevolent Despots

If Bertrand Russcll's report on
Russia does nothing else for our rad
icals and intellectuaIs it ought to
end once and for all shat ecstatic
faith which they have steadily
fymned that Russia under Leninc is
carrying torch of idealism and
progress,
In d continuation of his report
published this week in "The Nation"
Professor Russell goes further into a
judgment upon the character of the
Soviet rule. He redescribes the
utterly unrepresentative character
Of the government-shows Russia
Is IN fact ruled by 100000 Com
munists who have concentrated their
power in few hands. He puts the
matter graphically when he says:
"The government represents the in
terests Of the urban and industrial
population, and is, as it were, en-
campcd amid a peasant nation with
whom its relations are rather diplo-
matte and military than govern
mental in the ordinary sense"
There is much to be said for Pro
fessor Russell's opinion that Russia
'fs not ready for any form of de-
mocracy and needs strong govern
ment." This view of Lenine as q
sort of benefcent despot of the Diaz
type is thus stated:
"The Bolsheviki represent them
selves as the allies of Western ad
vanced socialism, and from this point
OF view they are open to grave criti-
cism. For their international pro-
gram there is, to my mind, nothing
to be said. But as national gov
ernment, stripped of their camou-
tiage, regarded as the successors of
Peter the Great, they are perform
ing a necessary though unamiable
task"
Compare this with the sort of rub
bish our radical weeklies have been
carrying, gravely discussing the
beautiful advantages of soviets over
parliamentary rule and Of a blissful
Brook Farm communism supposed to
prevail under Bolshevism as against
the wicked Western capitalism.
From the Russell description it is
quite as likely that America could
learn governmental or industrial
wisdom from Mexico as from
Russia.

we die" says the gloomy senior ap-
prentice. Then there is the case Of
Ann, who went into service and
learned all there was to know Of the
ingenuity by which English houses
are designed so as to break the backs
and hearts of housemaids-stee
narrow stairways, no water up
stairs, and 80 on. When Ann mar
ried Kipps and they embarked upon
house building her first concern was
to make the house right for the
servants that she didn't want but
that Kipps insisted upon. Perhaps
American houses are quite different.
Perhaps there is a moral even for
American housewives, downtrodden
as they now are.
The conclusion is, we submit, not
to try to make Sons of Martha into
Sons of Mary-they would only be
desperately unhappy and miserable
failures-but to give their work all
it's natural fun and beauty. Any
amount of reform remains to be ac,
complished here. But don't let's
misunderstood the problem or un-
derestimate the real Joy Of work
upon anything that can be touched
and handled, from shoes to ships.

moro effective.
This social inefficiency has two
manifestations. First, it shows itself
in the disappearance Of the woman
or man with a market basket. This
ancient cheapener, who refused to
be imposed on, still fingers in parts
of the city, and in these parts the
margin between what producer and
retailer get is the narrowest.
But there is even grosser social
inefficiency in the selection Of Hy-
lanesque four -hushers to look after
the public interests. These bloviate,
but their zeal spends itself entirely
in words. Think Of the fact that
New York, practically speaking, has
no public markets where producers
can meet consumers 1t is not, of
course, possible to have all the food
trading at public markets; perhaps
it is not desirable, but what a check
on rapacity few would be!
The public having refused to wake
up and to demand practical remedies,
it is conceivable that nothing to
the purpose will be achieved until
it is hit harder and that the food
profteer is unconsciously contribut-
ing to his final discontinue.

On the Floor of the World at
LARGE

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's Tribune l read a
dispatch from Budapest which aroused
in my soul sense of great pride. 1t
quoted a man by the name of John R.
Mott, who was stated to be connected
with the international Y. M. C. A. He
told about the effect of large number
Of holidays on interest in politics in
Central Europe. They gave people an
opportunity to think The result was
political upheavals. felt thankful we
had SO few holidays in America. 1t
would be horrible to have a political
upheaval here. Then he told of the
'dccadencc" of European universities
and the great need of "self- help"
whatever that may be, for the rehabili-
tation Of Europe.
My breast wellnigh burst with patri-
cite feeling as l pictured this Ameri-
can. who could go to the cultural CEN
ters of Europe and tell them what they
needed. AS I read his words, "The
keynote of my talks in Poland, Czecho-
Slovakia and Hungary has been self
help. From the Y. M. C. A. point of
view we are establishing model
branches as we hope to show the new
nations their way back to work and
to self-help," l thought of John Huss
and Comcnius and Masaryk, and the
fact that Bohemia had one of the high
est percentages Of literacy of all
countries on the face of the globe, and
of Poland, with its contributions Of
heroes to the American Revolution
and its high per capita percentage of
genius, perhaps higher than that of
the United States. And now America
was going to rehabilitate that culture,
raise up the decadcnt universities
through the establishment of model"
Y. M. c. As. AS I thought upon this
great project, the only obstacle that
occurred to me was the antagonsm of
Roman Catholics and Hebrews.
Then | prayed that Dr. Mott might
be returned safely to America in order
that his world vision and broad-mind-
edness might be applied to the prob
lens of our own culture and Young
Mems Christian Association. AS I
prayed, however I recognized that
was selfish in view of the great work
being carried on for the world at large.

The New Profteering Excuse

An increase in prices, other fac
tors remaining the same, from tie
new freight rates, is, Of course, in
evitaDle. a new tax Of SIS per cap

per cent of the average annual in

pay more than this the reason will
SIMPLY be the greed of dealers. To
put up prices more than l per cent
wi! be indefensibe protitecring, and
nothing else.
The present high cost of living is
in no small part due to the habit of
each middleman Of passing on the
higher price with an extra profit. By
2 sort of arithmetical progression the
difference between what the pro
dueer gets and what the consumer
pays widens. Hence agitation to
eliminate the middleman. But this
is not always, or perhaps often, prac-
tlcable. The middleman is a COM

The worst of the new crisis in Allied
relations arises from the fact that it
comes at the moment when the Rus

any time since the armistice. A divi

Bolshevik peril. And Italy is in a posi-

she receive certain advantages in re-
turn for adhesion to the common policv

Soaring Beef Priccs
Explanations Are Submitted By
SUift 6 CO.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune of July con.
tanned an editorial entitled "Soaring
Beef Prices" which has just Gene to
our attention. Although some time
has elapsed since this editorial ap-
peared, we trust that it viii not be
too late for you to give your readers
the benefit of our explanation OF this
matter.
This editorial calls attention to the
unusual increase in beef prices that
took place during June; it suggests
that the voluntary reorganization" Of
the packing industry may have "cOn-
tnbuted to the price leap, it says that
scarcity of cattle because Of overseas
shipments" is one reason given, but
that the principal cause is probabl?
unprofitableness of cattle feeding.
The increase in price during June
was caused primarily by a substantial
falling off in the supply of live cattle
sent to market. The receipts of cattle
IN seven principal markets were over
81 per cent smaller for the first TWO
weeks in June than they we're for the
corresponding two weeks in May.
1t is not true that the packers have
attributed scarcity Of cattle to "over-
seas shipments" Exports Of cattle
and beef practically ceased within
few months after the armistice was
signed, and this caused q decrease in
cattle and beef prices last year. It is
true that cattle feeding has been un-
profitable to many farmers during the
past year, and that this has caused
slight cutting down Of the herds. Re-
ceipts Of cattle for the first six months
OF 1920, however, show a decline Of only
8 per cent, as compared with The first
six months Of 1919.
This editorial ends up By saying that
we must be sure that no abnormal
profits are exactod from producer 70
consumer" 1t is well known that the
profits of the packers average only
fraction of a cent per pound of meat
sold; it is also known that profits have
not been large enough to encourage pro-
ducers to increase production Of cattle
Retailers expenses are necessarily hlgn
but their profits are not making them
rich; in other words, profits all along
the line are en- insignificant factor II

Music Center as War Memorial

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to the New York City
war memorial, believe that it would
be best to have the matter postponed
until next winter When the time
comes that a decision must be made
| would make the following recon-
mendations:
That a suitable building be erected
on property belonging to the city, in
one of the parks or elsewhere, to give
good music to the public, free of
charge or at very small cost. 1t should
contain first class music hall, better
and larger than Carnegie Hall, clean,
bright and TASTEFUL; it need not be
luxurious, but with good acoustics.
There should also be one or two small
er halls for rehearsals and other nur-
poses, arrangements for choral music
on large scale and, in addition,
rooms for classes in musical education.
Societies like the Music School Settle
ment and similar music schools should
give their instruction and concerts in
this building, which should also con-
tain complete musical library. Every
thing should be done to give the pub
lie chance to hear the best music.
