A Doubtful Truant Law

That the new school continuation
law permits a prison sentence for
1allure to attend school is thrust on
public attention. Two young girls
were sentenced the other day to
serve a day in Jail because of their
inability to pay fines imposed. The
tact that the day was limited to fif-
teen minutes did not soften the shock
A term in jail, of course, ordinar-
lily follows inability or refusal to
Fay fine, and the fact that the
court was logical indicates that the
law as 1t stands is a doubtful one

posed to have funds of their own.
even though they may have stopped
school to go to work.
In the case in point the truants
were treated as though they were of
responsible age. Their parents were

of the seven members of the new
board shall be named from one po-
litical party. Mr.. Marburg can be
classified at present only as a Will
son-Cox Republican. But Mr. Will
son has many times before shown
his contempt for laws regulating the
party character If appointments.
He has chosen for many bipartisan
boards Republicans who either in
1912 or 1916 were Wilsonites,
This is an incident merely illustra-
tive of the Presidents sense of Off
cial propriety. 1t is Of more conse-
quence that the new members Of the
board do not measure up to the re-
quirements of our great nationalized
shipping experiment. The Senate
isn't very likely to confirm them.
Refusal to confirm will lead to more
delay and confusion. The dead hand
of obstruction will be laid on our
shipping development until new
Administration comes in. That is
only one more melancholy conse-
quence of the governmental break
down in Washington.

Americas Gift to Belgium

Of the S500,O00 needed for the
Louvain restoration fund more than
$4,000 has been collected. The re-
mainder should be promptly raised
That complete library building for
the sacked and burned university
should be the gift of the American
people to Belgium is emincntly fit
ting. The destruction of a great in
stitution of learning was one of the
first of the barbaric acts by which
the Germans shocked the conscience
of the world
The library itself, with it's price
less collections, cannot, alas! be re-
stored. But it can he replaced by a
perpetual reminder Of American ad-
miration and sympathy. Cardinal
Mercier has said that the University
of Louvain is "the strongest bulwark
of social order and Christianity in
Belgium" and that Its revival is
essential to the moral reconstruc-
ton" of the country. We shall not
pay all our debt to Belgium by
undertaking this task. For had not
the little kingdom during those fate
full two weeks held back the German
hordes the Allies could hardly have
survived the attack; and with Eu-
rope overrun the next goal of Ger
man aggression would have been
America.
1t was not the fault of the Ameri
can people that ;hey did not act
sooner. The responsibility for that
rests with those who urged America
to be neutral even in thought. y
But we can set up a monument that
may perhaps be a warning even to
US to be more careful in the future
where we place leadership.

leaders who degrade the great cause

leaders who degrade the great cause
they represent.
1t took many years to convince the
honest, pavement-pounding police
man that his worst enemy was not
the "reformer," but was the crooked
"higher-up" who talked smoothly Of
his devotion to the common interests
of the force" Let us hope it will
not take as long to persuade the
mass Of contractors that their most
malignant foes are within their
ranks, or as long to convince labor
unionists that their most dangerous
adversaries carry union cards. 1t is
strange quality of human nature
that leads men, themselves true and
decent, to be loyal to the treacherous
and the dirty.
The shadow Of Sam Parks falls
once more on the building trades.
This time will the contractors have
sense enough to scourge out vicious
associates? Will the unions, on the
other hand, protect honest con-
tractors? Not by Investigations, or
even by prosecutions, will the build
ing trades on either side be cleansed.
The organizations of employers and
the organizations of employees must
in the main do the work.

Dead Hand Appointments

President Wilson S nominatiors 10
the new Shipping Board are highly
disappointing. The long delay in
making them has been costly. .Ad-
miral Benson has been doing what
be could TO organize the new mer-
chant marine and to get as many
American vessels as possible into the
deep sea carrying trade. lie was
hampered because he was working
as hold-over, with only one associ-
ate. His commission as president
of the board las now been renewed.
But the other appointees seem more
likely to be 8 hindrance to him than
help, since none has any apparent
qualifications as q practical shipping
man Oh as al outside shipping stu
dent and expert.
Mr.. Gillen was special assistant
TO John Barton Payne when the lat
ter was chairman Of the board. He
WAS nominated recently for men,
hershlp In the old board, but the
Senate failed to confirm him. But
his genera. qualifications are not i'm
pressive. Mr. McNab is q LAWYER
and an active Democratic politician

The settlement Of some of the ship
building wage controversies on the
Pacific Coast. His appointment
savors Of political patronage.
Mr. Thompson is Mobile news
paper publisher, and was a delegate
10 the Democratic National Conven-
tion of 1912. Mr.. Marburg is an
cstimablc citizen of Baltimore, for

more recently a diplomat and pub
licizt. He was appointed as a Re-
publican, although he is supporting
Governor Cox for President.

The Shadow of Sam Parks

The Tribune has no desire to pre-
Judge the results of the Lockwood
inquiry. All whose conduct is under
examination are entitled to their dav
in court.
Bat enough has been brought out,
it would seem, to reveal one cause of
the high cost of building Greedy
material men-the makers of brick,
lumber, cement and the like-have
doubtless neglected few opportuni-
ties to satisfy their appetites; but
right at home they have had apt imi-
tators among contractors and labor
New-York tribune., 1920-10-23

evidently not proceeded against, for
the judge admitted that he did not
know whether they were in court or
rot. Nor was attempt made to
learn why these girls did not attend
the continuation school the four
hours a week the law demands. But,
whatever the reason, neither a fine
hor term in Jail could possibly
solve their problem.
The establishment of continuation
schools is recognition of the fact that
many young people are obliged to go
to work before their elementary edu-
cation is completed. 1t might be
we'll to go little further and find
out why some of them are not will
ing to give up four hours a week
to go on with their interrupted
education. Incorrigibility may not
be the only reason. Even where it
is, peremptory punishment IS more
likely to make them hard and defiant
than to dissuade them from their
short-sighted course. Certainly the
contamination of the prison has no
place in the training of the young.

Calvin Coolidge Says
(FTont has address at the UniUersit1
of Vermont. ,Jv71e 2S. 1920

(Fron, has address ut the University
OF Vermont, Jatne 2S, 1920
Must it not be that these years have
been prelude to a great advance in
which America is to lead? Have we
not seen her institutions justified, her
faith vindicated? In the early months
and years of the war, what wonder
men doubted? Did it not seem that
despotism was victorious and freedom
vanquished? Belgium was devasted,
northern France overrun, Russia de-
icated, Serbia crushed, Italy kumblcd,
hrmana ruined. The suffering, the
slaughter, the deportations, the un-
speakable outrages perpetrated upon
the inhabitants of conquered areas
seemed to testify to the supremacy
of evil
The first battle of the Marine was
the one great obstacle to this conclu-
sion. In the light of revealed facts
we know now that evil did not tri
umph over right. 1t was not the su-
premacy of Prussian arms but
treachery in the ranks of her foes that
brought her victories. Honor did not
lose, the good was not overcome. The
might of despotism never won real
victory over the hosts of freedom.
After the American army was moved
into the line it never retreated and
never failed to advance. The might
of kings could not stand before the
might of democracy
But if America is to lead, her people
must be true to her ancient ideals.
The world has rejected a leadership
sought to be imposed by force. 1t has
broken it down and trampled it under
foot. The day Of Alexander, of Caesar.
IF Napoleon has passed The day of
Washington and of Lincoln has come.
Leadership will henceforth not be by
force, but by service.

A Bull on America

An agreeable note of optimism
.uns through Ebert H. Gary's adj
dress before the American Iron and
Steel Institute. AS far as this coun-
try is concerned he seems to think
business skies are practically with
out clouds. Here or there a shower
may develop, but nothing like a de-
structive storm. IF there should
be serious reaction and depression,
which now seems improbable, he
adds, "it will be the fault of those
who are connected with business
operations, or others who by reason
of official positions improperly IN
terfere, and not because of any
fundamental deficiencies in our re-
sources and opportunities"
Judge Gary reminds the business
community that the Comptroller of
the Currency reports resources of the
banks of the United States as break
ing all records, exceeding the COM
Ained bank assets of all the other
leading nations in the world, and
that they now amount to approx
mately $50, 100000, not including
Federal Reserve banks. We may ex-
pect unpleasant vicissitudes now and
then, he thinks, while the nervous
continue to spread a feeling of ap-
prehension whenever they can; but
the earth is still regularly turning
ol, its axis, the seasons come and 20,
the fields laugh with harvests, mines
and wells yield their riches, and the
morals of the people in general are
improving"
This view Of the outlook for Ameri-
can business, coming from a man of
Judge Gary's knowledge, is espe-
cially welcome just now. And those
who entertain it will doubtless find
it to their profit. 1t pays to be d
lull on America.

A Campaign Of Fraud
Said Mr.. Harding at Des Moines

Said Mr.. Harding at Des Moines:
81 do not wish to clarity these OBJ
legations. I want to turn my back
on them. 1t is not Interpretation
but rejection that l am seeking"
When this utterance was reported
The Tribune said it feared a door
had been opened to plausible misrep-
resentation, and suggested that Mr..
Harding make supplementary
statement. He did so. To direct
question from The Weekly Review
he replied that he had not altered
his attitude that "if the existing
league [Wilson's] has been so en-
twined and interviewer with the
peace of Europe that its good must
be preserved to stabilize the peace of
the Continent, then it must be
amended or revised" etc. He thus
not only recognized that good was in
the covenant, but that we might
join the league.
What the Senator meant to con-
vey in his Des Moines response to
the interrogatory heckler is now en-
tirely clear. He was not scrap
ping" the league. Indeed, his con-
tention was that if there had been
any "scrapping" the President had
done it. He was not even saying
the covenant, properly safeguardcd,
should not be ratified. He recog-
nized the good in the covenant and
wished to preserve it.
When he spoke Of obligations
on which he wished to turn his back
he had in mind Article X and its
pledge that this country shall be a
party to practically every war OF the
future. He had not in mind as
worthy of rejection all the obliga-
tions of the treaty, many of which
he approved.
Yet, since, persistent effort has
been made to make the public believe
that because Senator Harding de-
MED the wisdom of one set of obiga-
tions he denied the wisdom of all
obligations. MIR. Cox has energeti-
cally spread this untruth. SO also,
we regret to say, has our neighbor
The World. 1t has plainly put its
brains in cold storage until after
Election Day, or else is endeavoring
to deceive.
The Wilson-Cox campaign has
notably been one of fraud. Its
conductors have devoted their en-
ergies to lodging. Chased from be-
meath one nile of underbrush, they
have, like Brer Rabbit, scampered
10 another. American political his
tory records no equal example of
twisting and hiding. Under the
Presidents S leadership the discussion
has become of the barren and profit
less kind associated with theology
and the Scotch temperament. The
intellectuals of the exhibit have
been as pitiable as its morals have
been low

The High Cost Of Strikes

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have acquired lot Of ain..ra-
tion for The Tribune Of late, among
other reasons being your admirable
editorials Coolidge Says" and the
series of articles on The High Cost OF
Strikes" by Marshall Olds, and Of tais
latter | wish particularly to speak.
We have known what he has told US
in general way, but the clear. con-
else and incisive way in which he has
put the whole subject on record brings
it all more sharply To our minds
We see what the skillful use Of
propaganda has accomplished Nha;
better propaganda along right lines
exists at the present moment. Many
an earnest worker would Ike 20 know
the right from the wrong, but The
whole subject is usually SO hazily dealt
with that he has not tho means Of
knowing, and this series Of articles
would be like ray of light 20 him.
There Is nothing lower IN the human
scale than the CRATER; the thisf or
robber who carries on his thievery by
physical force is one thing. but the
CRATER, the sneak who wins your con-
fidence and then sells it, is altogether
despicablc; too many labor union lead
ers are Of the latter. and when the
men and women who belong 70 the
unions wake up TO that fat and that
they themselves are the principal Suf-
ferers many times, as clearly shown In
Mr.. Olds's articles. indirectly but none
the less surely, then viii the unions
begin to purge themselves ard assume
fairer position in their relations TO
the community.
And it takes Just such articles as
Mr.. Olds has written TO waks hem
up. Nothing hurts mans sels-
respect, in a sense, Quite 50 much a.

just that way by their own leaders the

The Right Sort of Congressman

New York City sadly needs COM
retent Representatives in Congress.
1hc citys interests have been motor
lousy neglected by the average local
Congressman of the last two decades.
New York has been always strong
IN the lists of those mot voting" on
roll calls. She is too seldom strong
in floor work or committee service.
The voters of Manhattan have an
opportunity to elect this year a Rep
resentative far beyond the average
IN qualifications. This is Ogden L.
Mills, Republican candidate in the
18th District. Mr.. Mills has had a
long training in politics and pre-
rared himself to go TO Washington
by first seeking legislative expert
ence in Albany. He was elected to
the State Senate in 1914 and re-
elected in 1916. He went to the
front at once. These Endorsements
were given him by the Citizens
Union committee on legislation:
"1915-Developed conspicuous legis-
lative ability" I916-Exceptional
ly forceful and effective legislator" >"
"1917-Easily the best equipped and
ablest of the city Senator's" In 1917
Senator Mills resigned to enter the
United States Army, in which he
served for nineteen months, most of
the time in France.
Last winter Chairman HAYS ap
pointed him chairman of the special
committee on policies and platform,
charged with collecting through con-
sultation with Republicans every
where material to be embodied in
the national platform. This work
was thoroughly done and was of
great assistance in Clarifying Re
publican opinion and formulating the
platform adopted at Chicago. At
Albany Mr.. Mills gave special atten-
ton to taxation problems, and his
familiarity with tax legislation
would be of peculiar use to New
York in the readjustment of the
Federal tax system which must be
made by the next Congress.
Mr.. Mills has something substan-
tial to give in return for the votes
he asks. That is an unusual circum
stance hereabouts in a Congress cam
paigC. If New York wants to apply
the doctrine of elf-help, one of the
best things she can do is to make a
habit of sending men of Mr.. Mills's
stamp to Congress.

A Poor Standard Bearer

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To-day l received an invitation
from the Pro-League Independents to
enroll as an independent who will sup
Fort Cox and the League Of Nations.
May | answer through your letter
columns that, although I am an inde-
pendent Maryland Democrat and AL
though l believe in the League of No-
tons, | shall not support Cox if wc
rever have q League OF Nations or a
President. Those so-called friends of
the League of Nations can serve their
cause far better by demanding that
Cox resign from his candidacy and al
low man to lead the cause whom I
can conscientiously follow. If this pro-
league of Independent voters ia really
sincere, why do they not get different
