To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Has it occurred to your corre-
spondents that perhaps their discussion
of "Why the Churches Fail" is funny?
Take single donomination-the
Methodist, for instance--and watch it
fail. Its tithers (Methodists who give a
tenth of their income to the church)
number only 10000. Its recent evan
gelistic campaign failed to the extent
Of yielding something like 100000 new
Methodists. And what does it's much
Wanted centenary fund amount to Z
Small changed Chicken feedl To be
specific, the sum Of $115, 100000.
There's failure for you'll There's
fizzle! At this rate Methodism will soon
be as extinct as the saloons it killed.
Quite clearly it is no longer a power.
though we should not be surprised at
that, for to-day there are barely 4,5O0,-
900 Methodists left alive.

tently, Mr.. Leary, in contending that
Roosevelt did not favor the Amendment,
but was willing to promote continuance
of beer and wine, makes admission that
the amendment to all intents and pur-
poses does prohibit beer and wine.
If, in conversation with Mr.. Leary,
there cropped out any feeling of uncer-
tainty over what would take the place
of the saloon, or any sympathy over
the prospective lot of some saloon
keepers whom Roosevelt knew person
ally to be keepers of orderly houses,
and even though there were some
Rooseveltian emphasis and vigor tin
Cling throughout such an observation on
his part, the speculation is altogether
overcome in his final conclusions on
the subject, which are not set forth in
Mr.. Leary's article. That article dealt
with phases Of the problem, and not
with the facts Of ratification.
Mr.. Roosevelt's assertion that he
would help secure ratification Of the
amendment if it became necessary has
written right after Congress submitted
the national prohibition amendment,
December IT, 1917:
CDR. Ferdinand c. Iglehart, care Of
Christian Herald Bible House,
New York.
my Dear DR.. Iglehart: I thank you
for your book and appreciate your send
ing it to mo and wish to congratulate
you on what has happened in Congress
and the success that is crowning your
long fight against alcoholism. The
American saloon has been ono Of the
most mischievous elements in American
social, political and industrial life. No
man has warred more valiantly against
it than you have, and / am glad that
it has been my privilege to stand with
you in the contest.
Faithfully yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Many man has had a certain SYM
pathy for saloonkeepers personally
known to him, but that has not de-
barred him from welcoming the prohi-
bition Of the liquor traffic. When Colo
mel Roosevelt wrote the congratulatory
message upon the submission Of the
national amendment he knew it was
an amendment which prohibited beer
and wine. There were many men who
had an opinion that beer and wine were
not very harmful, but decided that the
brewers of whom the Colonel wrote
"They paid money to the German
American Alliance" had sinned away
their day of grace and that the whole
business had to go.

The Adullarnites

Robert M. La Toilette, catching a
prevailing disease, insists on writing
the platform if he is to run. His die
tation seems to have been accepted.
At last accounts a committee Of the
Forty-eighters was feverishly at
work on a document guaranteed to
| please Platforms made while you
wait; principles altered on an hour's
notice.
The gentlemen in concourse at
Chicago are happily not bothered
with rank and file in their paper
organizations. They are all colonies
and generals. For them to march
first one way and then another re-
quires no argument with masses of
men. When the convention, whose
delegates are self-appointed, is adj
journed the party ceases to exist. 1t
hopes to gain a following, but it adj
mits that it has none yet. It's voice
sounds in wilderness, and the only
response so far is the echo Of it's
own mornings.
The organization of third and
fourth and fifth parties is regular
industry every fourth July. They
sprout and flower like buckwheat.
But the frost of September is chill
ing, and by October only few
blackened leaves remain. A new
party sometimes has power to pry
man loose from an old association,
but is seldom able to attract him to
itself.
The Progressive party of 1912 is
often mentioned as an exception and
is referred to as furnishing evidence
of what can be achieved. But the
Progressive secession was orthodox
even from a two-party standpoint.
Its genesis was the belief of the
Roosevelt delegates, a belief shared
by the Roosevelt voters in the pri-
maries, that the nomination had been
stolen. Thus there was split rath-
er than deliberate establishment
of new organization. Colonel
Roosevelt would not have considered
leading the new venture except for
his conviction that the expressed
will of the party had been grossly
overriden.
| Nothing in the Chicago proceed
ings is calculated to make either of
the old parties SILVER with a great
fear or tremble with a great dread.
1t is>not conceivable that any con-
siderable number Of Americans have
any desire to intrust the Republic to
the management of the soreheads
calamity howlers and professional
faultfinders who like to see their
names in print and who have discov-
cred that the easiest way to attain
this glory is to have a nice little pri-
vate party Of your own.

graduating you upon the noble
work you are doing for those who

cal agitation and economic distur-
Dances?
Your unselfsh and altruistic work
Is but another instance, another bit
of evidence, establishing not merely
the possibility of performing invalu-
able services to our community, but
also the need Of our community for
such great factors as The Tribune.

Flat or With Reservations

On November 10 last, the day rati-
fication of the treaty was defeated
in response to instructions from the
White House, Senator Harding spoke
as follows to the Senate:
"In the Senate there are four dis
tinct schools of thought in dealing
with this treaty. One is the uncon-
ditional ratification school-those
who. either through their own con-
scientious convictions or the lash of
the observation-disclosures as you will
want this treaty ratified without a
single modification or ratification.
That is Group No. /. In direct op-
position is the so-called irrecon.
cilable group--those who are unalter-
ably opposed to any ratification
That Is Group 2. The third is the
group to which choose to belong. if
may, who are agreed to bring about
the ratification of this treaty if they
are convinced that the reservations
which have been adopted are suf-
ticient to safeguard the interests of
the United States of America. There
still remains another group, or, rather
group within a group, popularity
known as the mild reservationists'--
those who are anxious to ratify, who
are anxious to safeguard the inter-
ests of this Republic, but at the same
, time desire to make the reservations
as little offensive as possible to those
who assumed to negotiate the treaty
in contempt of the Senate"
In his response to the challenge
Of Mr.. Cox to make the League of
Nations project the paramount issue
If the campaign Senator Harding in
10 degree contradicts the foregoing.

Woven Silence
(From The Pooon)

(From The Pd0om)
THIS silence has a music;
1t is the blood Of me that hears It.
Almost the fingers, too.
Had this hand of you,
Flower-curved under your sleeping eyes
A voice to murmur repose,
And had this hair of you,
Soft-seeking to your sleeping cheeks,
The humming Of its slow, bewildered
curve,
l should have entering music for the ear:
I should be started on a woven song
OF the hushed weavers Of silence.

A War of Words
(Fron The Los Anoele, IT,,

(Fro,n The Los Angeles Tymes)
1t is mainly matter Of verbiage.
The Republicans want the league with
their reservations and interpretations.
The Democrats say they have no 6biec-
tons to reservations and interpreta-
lions, but they must not amount to
dissertation or notification. The Re-
publicans retort that they aim not at
notification, but insist on justification.
They ought to be able to get together.
What they both want is League of Ma
tons on probation with Interpretation
OF relations. Elihu Root could fix that
up in twenty minutes.

One day the issue concerns the
tracing of boundaries; another day
the payment for war damage wan
tonly done, or disarmament, or coal
or something else.
Germany has signed agreements
which explicitly define her obliga.
tions. But she repudiates her
pledges in spirit and goes as far as
she dares in ignoring them in acts.
The attention Of all persons is
challenged by a momentous Fact.
This Fact is Germany. What she
has been she remains-a continuous
menace to the peace and order OF
the world.
1t is useless to say conditions both
within Germany and beyond her
borders arg not as they should be.
Conditions within Germany are not
subject to outside control, and her
conditions bring consequences and
reactions everywhere. Individual
nations discuss peace as something
they can always have if they wish
it. They can't. A camel cannot
have quiet unless willing to be a
tigers food.
Before the war Germany deceived
the remainder Of the world, or a
large part of it. 1t was said she
would never do that which she did.
Those who penetrated the German
design were prophets with little
honor in their own countries. They
were denounced as war meters.
And again, despite the warnings
given by countless graves, those who
do not wish another war deluge and
who realize that the way to prevent
it is to convince Germany she can
not win are denounced by pretend
ed liberals.
Germany willed the war. She can
will another. She is certain to will
another if persuaded she may expect
different outcome. Peace depends
not on the wishes Of those who
stopped her last foray, but on Ger
many's estimate of her chances.
This is not to say Germany is in
capable of fundamental reform. 1t
merely recognizes the outstanding
fact that she has not reformed and
shows no desire to reform. Slip the
bonds by which she is restrained, and
the ultimate result is not doubtful.
Germany snarls and bites, and
then whines to be free. Who pos
sessing sanity and good intent would
turn her loose? Who would assume
responsibility for the flowing of new
rivers of blood?
The Presidents fatal policy pre-
vented the creation Of general bull
warks for peace. So the business OF
common protection is laid on France,
Great Britain and Italy. We may
we'll rejoice that they do not avoid
their high and honorable task.
These powers Of western Europe
protect US quite as much as we pro-
tect the republics south of the Rio
Grande. And as it is the habit of
South America to sheer at our mo-
tives, so we have a school Of opinion
that sneers at the motives of our
European guardians.

Cold as any stone;

Fallen on evil days;
