Reedy and His "Mirror"

The most appalling thing about
William Marion Reedy was his lack
of fame among his own countrymen
Here was really great critical mind
in the opinion Of those who knew
him and his work-and by sheer en-
ergy and will and dauntlessness,
with neither capital nor business
skill to assist, he published a weekly
magazine that contained, year ir
and year out, more good literature
than any other periodical in Amer
ica. His home town of st. Louis
knew him and was proud of him. A
few great men like Colonel Roose-
welt were prouC to count him a
friend. Since the success Of Edgar
Lee Masters and "The Spoon River
Anthology"-which Reedy discov-
cred and published in his mirror"
there has been a growing knowl-
edge of Reedy among the poets and
other writers of the younger gener-
alton. Yet of general fame, of posi-
tion in the larger sense, he lad next
to nothing.
Probably the sheer size of Amer
lea accounts for something of this
inconspicuousness. To gain a nation
al hearing it is necessary to speak
from a national pulpit-from a
magazine of wide national circula-
tion. "Reedy's Mirror" always cIung
to its local flavor. Its proprietor,
editor and chief contributor wan
dered cheerfully about the country
in quest of political conventions and
good food and fresh young poets and
such like entertainments; but St..
Louis was at once his starting point
and his destination. There in the
Middle West were his roots, and
there he clung. individuals in a
dozen cities knew him and loved him
there were few better compan-
ions; and more and more of recent
years writer's and politicians and
other tramps fell into the way of
dropping in upon him at his st.

Troubles of Ex-Service Men

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: | was very much interested in
reading a letter in your paper this
morning, dealing with the treatment
accorded the tubercular ex-service men
now under treatment at a sanatorium
at Saranac Lake, N. Y, by the Public
Health Service. Quite number Of
cases have come to my attention
where the officials have used very poor
judgment in the matter of sending the
tubercular ex-service men to the proper
hospitals.
| know of a young man who con-
tracted tuberculosis while in the navy
The Navy Department sent him to a
hospital at Fort Lyons, Colorado. After
time ne was discharged as an "ar-
rested" case. Having enlisted in New
York, according to naval regulations
he had to be discharged at the point Of
enlistment, SO was discharged at that
point. Before long he was taken sick
again and was ordered by his doctor to
go to Colorado. He then took his case
up with the doctors of the Public
Health Service. After lot of the So
called red tape" had been cut they
(the doctors of the health service)
told him they would send him to Colo
RADIO if he paid his own fare. Until
recently disabled man was receiving
for total disability the sum of $50 per
month. How could he pay his fare to
Colorado if he was receiving such a
small amount of money? Recently he
was sent to Liberty, n Y.
Summing up the situation, thinl.
that nothing is too good for man who
sacrificed his health for our country.
Thanks to your paper and to Mr.. Rich
ard I. Bell, the state war risk officer
of the American Legion, for the good
fight you are making for the disabled
men. J. GEORGE COLE.

He Kept Us Out of Victory

Sir: AS reader of The Tribune for
several decades permit me to express
my appreciation of the Forum column
on your editorial page While not al
ways agreeing with your correspondents,
nevertheless | and the public at large
enjoy reading the different ideas ex-
pressed therein.
AS lifetime Republican I have al
ways loved the Grand Old Party and
have felt its past achievements should
inspire confidence in its future attain
ments. | have proudly boasted that it's
slogans should be "Abolition of slavery"

hood" National unity and uniformity"
'Natlonallsm versus sectionalism for
above the state is the nation; "Political
ideals instead of political deals,' "Politi-
cal creed to political greed But since
Boss" Barnes & Co. seem to be at the
helm of our ship of state +, as we'll as
thousands of other loyal, patriotic Re-
publicans, shudder to think of what will
be the results in November
Can't the good Republicans rise UP in
indignation and cast these "bosses" into
the sea of oblivion? If Wadsworth is
nominated we will be forced to bolt the
party and vote-perhaus for the first
time in our lives-the Democratic ticket
The women voters slogan of jim
Wadsworth is "He kept us out of poll
ti9s,' but after Election Day, all the
Republicans slogan will be "IIe kept US
out of victory!" H will not only defeat
our party in the Empire State, but may
'mperil the national results as we'll.
Every good G. 0. P. voter get busy
and let our slogan be "Anythng to beat
Wadsworth," but, best of all, to prevent
his nomination.

Wadsworth's Weakness

The Republican unofficial conven-
ton, by recommending to the pri-
maries the denomination of Senator
Wadsworth, has not contributed to
the party's success this fall. The
rank and file Of the party may well
busy itself to lift the load which the
organization would make it carry.
Senator Wadsworth is weak
candidate. His friends admit it.
Six years ago he ran $4,000 votes
behind his ticket. If the election
had been close he would have been
easily defeated There is no evil
dence that he has since added to his
strength. On the contrary, it is less.
Coming into public life under the
auspices of the Republican machine,
then at its worst, Senator Wads-
. worth has been temperamentally
hostile to all forms of progressive
ness. He has looked to Barnes and
his like for advice. He has exempli-
fled the truth of the saying that of
all Tories a young one has the thick
est shell.
He opposed equal suffrage even
after the electorate of New York
had declared for it and after the
Legislature had formally requested
him to modify his views. His course
with respect to social legislation,
even the child labor law, has been
profoundly unsatisfactory to those
who would better human life. He
has fought legitimate labor legisla-
ton. At all times he has been re-
dictionary. His public career is
marked by intolerant defiance of
public opinion and refusal 70 be the
public's agent and representative.
His case has long been recognized
as incurable. Mistaking mere stub
bornness and narrowness for firm
ness and adhesion to principle, he
has apparently assumed that the
public is not entitled to respect.
Perceiving this, the public is re-
sentful.
1t is scarcely fair or sportsman
like for Senator Wadsworth to insist
On his candidacy when he entertains
views so peculiar and when he
knows how his unpopularity makes
more difficult the task Of electing the
state and national tickets. The best
immediate service a New York Re
publican can do his party is to work
to defeat Senator Wadsworth in the
primaries.

The One-Piece Issue

Neither political party has taken a
firm stand with respect to the one
piece bathing suit as applied to the
sex that will vote in November, only
provided that Tennessee does her
duty. So Republicans and Demo-
Gratis may divide as they will on this
much harangued issue. The fact
that Long Beach has thrown open it's
official arms to welcome the one
pieced, stockingless bathing girl will
not be viewed with alarm in either
Marion or Dayton.
This is relief, and we do not see
what better hot weather topic of
debate there could be, pending the
complete submcYsion of our continent
IN the poison gas of politics. There
will be discussion, and discussion will
lead to division, and division will call
for the facts, which, despite the best
that the Sunday graphics can do,
will necessarily lead to- first hand
observation at the heart of the con-
troversy. Expert testimony from
California and Salt Lake City, where
stockings and skirts are considered
a lure Of the wicked, will have it's

with better world organization for
peace, leaves open the exact proceed
ure to be followed. He does not
agree with the President that it is
desirable to have a cast-iron pro-
gram which allows for no play of
compromise or adjustment. He does
not assert all wisdom is with him
and it is blasphemous to challenge
his conclusions.
On his record it would seem that
Mr.. Harding favors, first, ratitl-
cation of the present treaty with the
Lodge reservations; or, second, if
this is impossible or something bet
ter offers, the negotiation of a new
league. 1t cannot now be deter
mined with absoluteness which
course league advocate should pur-
sue. AS President Mr.. Harding
would be compelled to get two-thirds
of the Senate together. How can
he promise when he does not con-
troll? His chance of getting two
thirds would be slight if he ap-
preached the Senate with cut-and-
dried formula whose unchanged ac-
ceptance he demanded. He would
then be another Wilson and practi-
cally certain to fail. How the Dem
ocratic Senators would denounce
such one-manism
Mr.. Taft's contribution deserves
wide reading. 1t is calculated to
bring to an end the uncandid parti-
san effort to present Mr.. Harding
as having surrendered to the irrec-
oncilables.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-30

Louis office for what many consid-
cred the best talk to be heard west
Of the Mississippi.
All of which suggests what is the
truth, we think: that Reedy turned
his back-and it was very broad
hack fame by preference. Or
if not exactly b design or intention,
by instinct and nature. He would
not have been Reedy had he gone
out for a cult and all the literary
glory that is so cheaply to be had
for little swank and a few mutual
tickling agreements.
Should one regret this choice, his
way of living? Would he have done
more for American literature had
he made conventional success of
his criticism and been published and
read and touted by the right people?
Anything but, we are confident.
There are the two ways of leading.
One might be called the institutions
al. 1t is the safe and conventional
and comfortable way; but those who
pursue it must sacrifice how much
of personality and affection and
originality! The other way is the
Reedy way--a lone figure, asking
nothing and giving nothing except
friendship and ideas, counting the
discovery of a new writer as re-
ward in itself, and leading by ex-
ample and talk, by personal contact
with the few who have eyes to see
and ears to hear.
After all, even in the matter of
fame, we wonder if the name of
William Marion Reedy will not live
on appreciative lips longer than that
Of many touted literary leader
with his shelf of books and his hey
day Of acclaim. May not the affection
and admiration Of the few that know
bear more fruit than all the best or
ganized publicity of a lifetime?
They certainly do in the germina-
ton of ideas. in the stirring of indi-
vidual hearts and minds. Why not
for lasting fame down the years?

Militant Christianity
4 Robust Ansper to the Pacifst
Interpretation

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; Mr.. John Kendrick Bangs has,
in his recent letters, done notable
service to the cause Of righteousness
by his true and just presentation of
the spirit of Christianity as against
fanaticism and sentimentality.
The pacifist Interpretation of the in
junction to love our enemies is at
variance with the words and practice
of Christ. The reasons for forgiving
our personal enemies are obvious; but
to espouse the cause of the evi!doer as
against that of his helpless victims is
something that Christ never did and
never commanded. The case of the
oppressor and the oppressed, the ag-
gressor and the defender, admits of no
compromise. On each side, "he that is
not for US is against US" The delib-
crate doers and promoters of evil in
this troubled world are less our per
sonal enemies than the enemies of
humanity and of all good therefore of
God Himself. To condone their deeds
is to espouse the cause of evil. The
stern defense Of good is not revenge
nor vindictiveness 1t is the inevitable
exercise of mans judicial function
against violations of the moral law;
and there is no rightful escape from
the moral government of the universe
The "hard sayings" of Christ cor
roborate this view. Ofense against
childhood deserved death; injustice to
ones fellow men deserved Imprisonment
which should not end until the culprit
had paid the uttermost farthing"; the
combined hypocrisy and cruelty of GER
tain Pharisees called forth that terri
bic phrase, Glow shall we escape the
damnation of hell?" And why should
50 gentle and holy a Judge utter these
and other bitter condemnations? Be-
cause the penalty of evil lies deeply
hidden within the wrong itself God
must infiict it, through the working of
the eternal laws; and often man is ap-
pointed to be His instrument.
UnspeaHable offensea against the
elpless-against childhood and woman
hood, against honor and decency,
against the comm 3a welfare of man
kind-cannot prope " be ignored, or
the just indignation of the world be
condemned as hatred" What we feel
is sterner and nobler thing than
hatred To treat these unrepentant
anG morally uncomprehending people
as they treated others would be alb
horrent to any Of US; but to force them
to such reparation as can be slade and
such restraint as can be imposed is
simply to defend the world and help to
establish justice and right.
Those who take the sentimental view
seem to be unable to visualize right
and wrong. They are blind slaves to
theory. Christianity is great, robust,
magnificent faith, which cuts clear
line between the false and the true.
and which has strong and stern mis-
sion in this world: to establish and
prcserve-with gcntleness if may be,
with militant courage il need be--thc
eternal foundations of justice, mercy
and truth. NJ. G. SMITH.

For the Blind Who Will Not See

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why do you not publish an
editorial which will enlighten the
Democratic press of New York on
Harding's stand on different questions ?
They seem to be in the dark and un-
able to find their way out. From his
(Harding's) acceptance speech his
stand is very plain to the writer.
He is against the Wilson League of
Nations. Peace first and then league
acceptable to the United States.
He is for enforcement of the Eich-
teenth Amendment, and whether he is
dry or moist. makes no great differ
ence.
He is in favor of equal suffrage. as
witness his appeal to the Tennessee
Legislature. If the Republicans did
no better than the Democrats, the
states would now stand twelve for it
and as the Republicans have rattle
IN twentynine states, why are they
threatened with the vengeance Of the
women unless they make up the thirty
sixth state?

The Good Old German WAY

TTO1eSS0r HANS DelDruCkS s 'chal-
lenge" to James M. Beck, through
the medium of The Tribune's Berlin
correspondent, to meet him in neu-
trail territor., TO debate the respon-
sibility Of Germany for the war
shows once more that Germans, like
leopards, do not change their spots.
The professor has been one of the
most clamorous of the German in
tellectuals. Early his name was
prominent in the long list OF once
respected German names appended
to a justification of the attack on civil
lization remarkable for it's twisted
logic, its lack of candor and it's
moral obliquity. Within few months
a large number Of these signers,
though somewhat chastened by de-
feat, still refused to admit the force
of the verdict the rest of the world
had pronounced against their coun-
try. Of all, however, Delbruck seems
to be the least inclined to penitence.
He still sticks to the thesis that
Germany made unprovoked war be-
cause she loved peace He would
argue this with Mr.. Beck as the
author of complete and convincing
statement of the case against Ger,
many. The professor has a sublime
Teutonic assurance that the non
Teuton world is and must be wrong.
Now, the discouraging thing about
this is thai this assurance seems
generally shared by the German
people not the least informed
among them merely, but the best
informed, the intellectual and social
leaders. 1t would be bad enough
if they were simply defiant, if they
knew the truth but refused to admit
it. Nothing is clearer, however, than
the fact that they are sincere in
their impenitence. Were the deed to
be done over they would do it. The
next time they hope to succeed
Germany remains, then, precisely
what she was before the war. Voices
here and there may question the
wisdom of past German policy, may
even suggest that a complete re-
versal of it has become necessary;
yet the German people as whole
are unchanged. This is startling
circumstance, with which the world
will plainly have to reckon for
many years. 1t reveals the great
mistake President Wilson has per-
sisted in. The German people, who
were so divorced in his mind from
their rulers, prove to be of the
identical stuff. This is no discovery,
to be sure; but so many have
disputed it that Delbriick's testi-
mony, though it parallels much evil
dence, is none the less worth needing.
And how is the world to meet
this crisis? There is no way but to
keep Germany unarmed and to keep
alive in some form the grand alli-
ance, which is the only power capable
of giving the world protection and
peace.
