When We wrote the other day that
in all our years in newspaper work the
only people We had ever succeeded in
making mad were Eva Tanguay and
George Creel, 1t seems that We over
stated the case against ourself. Since
Monday we have received eleven letters
In which readers say that we not only
make them mad but tired. They state
that they did not write this before, be-
cause, until seeing our Monday COM
ment, they had not regarded it as a
matter Of controversy.
According to dictionary advertise
ment, Lloyd George knows 100000
words" What 3 pity that Ireland is
not one of them.
Once when we questioned this Accu-
racy Of a picture of Long Island So
ciety life in n Broadway comedy, the
author replied that, after all, we were
baseball writer. 1t seems dangerous
then, to express doubt as TO the au-
thenticity Of the society impressions
which Arnold Bennett puts into his
book, called Our Women. If the COM
ment ever came to Mr.. Benefits at
tention, he might answer crushingly
that we were, after all, an American.
And yet we cannot help but wonder
just where Mr.. Bennett dimes, so ex-
traordinary are the manners which he
seems to have encountered.
"The real vice of the fashionable vo-
cabulary," he writes, ais that it abounds
far too much in superlatives, which
the two emotions Of gratitude and
! pleasure. | can remember the time when
hostess was content to say, 1T was
! very good of you to come She didn't
mean it even then. She meant, 1t was
very good of mo TO ask you to come.
But she did utter her polite phrase
with certain decency and a certain
air Of conviction. Then some woman
discovered that very was not en-
! phatic enough, and said, 1t was aw-
fully good of you to come Awful is
serious word and needs some elocu-
tion to carry it off successfully. 1t did
not last long. Frightfully' took its
place, but nobody could give fright
fully the right intonation, and so to-
day most frightfully' is employed. 1T
was most frightfully good of you to
come 1t was most frightfully good
of you to ask me- The greatest &C
tress in the world could not make the
phrase sound real after tea party
and hostesses and guests do not at
tempt to make it sound real. They
pour it out, anyhow, turning smile
on and off as if by tap. They will,
in the quite misguided effort TO be con-
'vincing, soon be compelled to invent a
phrase more frightful than most
frightfully.' And so the cycle will con-
tlnue until some one discovers that

Fomenting Discord

The false Interpretation given to
the cablegram Of Mr.. Root written
last August and published this week
suggests that those who pretend to
special soicitude for League of
Nations are more interested in get
ting their narrow partisan way than
in getting d league.
Mr.. Roots cablegram is simple in
meaning. Stripped of surplusage, it
says that in Mr. Roots judgment it
is better to build the league into
which this country should enter on
the basis Of the existing league. He
would modify the covenant "to meet
the requirements Of the Senate res
ervations and the Chicago platform,
and in probably some other respects" "
and then ratify it. But he also rec
ognizes that it is not possible to fore
cast any definite procedure because
conditions next month are necessa-
rily uncertain" SO his advice is ten
tative and CONDITIONAL Much de-
pends on the temper Of the Senate
as we'll as on the views of our part
ners abroad.
Any person Of common sense who
really wants league will see the
danger of trying to drive a wedge
between Senator Harding and Mr.
Root. But the spirit of Wisconsin,
the spirit which defeated ratification
lest spring, still fingers about and
works to make trouble. If this spirit
is not suppressed it may prevent
entry into any league.
Between Senator Harding and
Mr.. Root is no necessary op-
position Of view. Senator Harding
has steadily kept open the door to
using the present league as founda-
ton. He seems to incline to the plan
of an altogether new organization,
just as Mr.. Root inclines the other
way, but the Harding attitude, like
that of Mr.. Root, is tentative. The
charge that Senator Harding in his
Des Moines speech repudiated the
covenant plan was desperate cam
paign misrepresentation To revive
it is poor way to be of help to the
treaty.
. Do the Wilson apologists honestly
want league? If they do they will
desist from muddying the waters
and rocking the boat. Have they
not done enough damage? Having
had their chance and having ignobly
failed, they may proftably stand
aside. Instead, we find them busy al
their old noxious task of fomentina
reaty-destroying discord. But one
conclusion can be drawn, and that
ID that bigotry has survived the
election.

Politics ir, the Schools
From American Education

There seem to be good reasons for
believing that a determined attempt
will be made this winter to induce the
Legislature to enact legislation put
ting the schools more fully under the
general control of the municipal gov
ernment than is now the case in this
state. Last year this journal predicted
that efforts would be made to secure
legislation in the direction Of giving
mayors and boards Of estimate more
authority over the schools than they
now have in most cities of the state.
The attempt was made, but the effort
was abandoned for the time being. 1t
is almost certain that in the coming
session of the Legislature laws will
be proposed the passage Of which
would be exceedingly detrimental to
public school education in this state.
What the politically minded mayors
and other municipal officers hope to do
is to secure legislation that will give
them full control over the public
schools, particularly in respect to the
financial management of the schools.
It is perfectly obvious that the i'm
mediate outcome would be serious harm
to the schools of the state. Before
many years the schoolsswould be made
subservient to the politicians. The
result would soon be q lowering Of the
standard Of efficiency now maintained.
ho jo
noticeable progress IN this state to-
ward the elimination of political inhu-
cnces from public school management,
with q corresponding improvement in
the quality Of the work done in the
schools.
The politicians have not looked with
complacencc upon this trend toward
the independence of the Department
Of Education, and have decided that
the time has come to make an organ
lied effort to have the schools put un-
der their control. They will succeed
in this mischievous purpose unless the
people of the entire state can be
brought to see the harmful effects of
from political control they now have.
Every superintendent of schools and
every member of board of education
who believes in educational progress
should resist this attempt to reduce
the administration of our schools to
the low plane on which municipal ad-
ministration now is carried on in most
of the cities of New York. IN such
cities as New York, Buffalo and Syra-
cusc the situation IS bad enough un-
der present conditions, but it would be-
come infinitely worse if the Legislature
should yield to the pressure that will
be brought to bear upon it this winter
in the interest Of politically managed
school system.
The danger that threatens the
schools Of the Empire State Is so omi-
nous that the friends Of public school
progress must not lose moment in
arousing the people of the entire state
to the evil designs now being planned
against the integrity Of the public
school system.

(From The Washington Er>ninD Star,
Governor Cox for leader again III
1924? One of his admirers has so hailed
him.
It seems most unlikely. The defeat
was too overwhelming. Had the con-
test been close, second try nigh. rea-
sonably have been asked. But on Tues
day he was buried under an avalanche

foes alike of the league failed him.
Vets and drys alike opposed him. 1ne
states Of Murphy, Nugent. Taggar
and Brennan all voted for Harding
What would give MIN prestige IN
second race?
General Mcclellan, who was over
whelmed in 1864, was never again con-
sidered for the Presidency. He tgurea
in politics, but was never again ma
tional quantity.
Governor Seymour, who reluctantly
led the Democracy in 1868, was never
again asked 10 lead.
Horace Greeley died soon after his
defeat, but had he lived he never ssaia
would have been thought Of in con-
nect;on with the Democratic Leadership.
Since 1904 Judge Parker has applied
himself to the practice of mis- profess
sion. Politics has had small claim on
him, and he has not been pursued wits
offers OF nominations or OF office.
Governor Cox takes his place among
The badly beaten neE. and none Of them

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l am wondering if The Tribune
is not big enough and powerful enough
to wake I'D some official in Washing

give the public some clean money. If
they cannot afford to give US new
papeTs bills, why not call in our present

dirty. filthy paper money that every
one is obliged to carry to-day is a
great public menace. A clean paper

at the election on November 2.
On November 4 she celebrated her
nincty-ninth birthday surrounded by

brought her enough good wishes, fine
sentiment and "many happy returns
Of the day" to warm her heart for the
coming year.
/ am wondering whe her Pennington
has the honor of leading the procession

takes great satisfaction, too, in the
fact that her political choice was in
dorsed by such an unheard of majority.
