life measure Of richness which

life measure Of richness which
otherwise it might lack.
The vagueness Of aspiration, even
the immature frivolity, Of youth
has it's advantages. No doubt Mr..
Edison knew his own mind be-
fore he had donned long trousers.
But there are too many instances of
early brilliancy soon sadly quenched
to justify tho conclusion that youth
full dullness means adult failure. The
Goodale sisters, whose Juvenile verse
seemed so remarkable forty years or
more ago, did not become great
poets. The author Of The Young
Visiters has given no indications Of
achieving the fame Of George Eliot.
Quickness or slowness Of growth de-
pends upon the nature of the plant.
The boy who doesn't yet know what
he wants to be should not be unduly
distressed by MI Edison's obiter

Won't Herr SHINES Pay?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Germany refuses to pay her just
debts and yet she maintains the null
tiest of multi-millionaire and makes
it easy for him to buy up the produc-
tions of whole territories. Why does
not Hugo SHINES come forward and
offer to pay his fatherland's debt? 1t
might take him some time, but he
would be able to begin at once, which
is more than the government is willing
to do.
Germany has paid 100000 900
marks to her own shippers for tonnage
lost through the Treaty of Versailles.
Why does she not ask her own people
to wait for their money, and pay her
just debts?
The largest loan ever obtained by an
industrial enterprise in Germany has
recently been successfully negotiated
by Krupp, according to The Journal
of Commerce. 1t totaled 100000, 900
marks. The Krupp Company has made
untold wealth from the war. Why
should it not join hands with Herr
SHINES and pay back part of it's in
fated profits?

ing With similar problems into one
big service, Tho difficulty ID that
such unity is often gained at : dis
tinct loss Of peculiar fitness for spe-
cial tasks. The parks have unques-
tionably suffered heavily from the
depredations Of vandals Of late
years. In Prospect Park as many as
seventy-tlve young trees have been
destroyed In single night. A spe-
cial park force might not be able to
end these conditions completely. At
least they would be organized with
that end iirst in mind and would be
distributed most efficiently for that
purpose. AS Mr.. Hornaday has
pointed out, the present police force
is utterly inadequate to meet this
Eeed after covering it's many other
duties. Provision for corps Of
special keepers seems the clear and
necessary answer to this problem
that makes the upkeep Of our parks
exceedingly costly and keeps the re-
suits unsatisfactory at best.

Dickens for Boys
Are Fagin and Bill Skies Too Tame
for Picture-Going Lads2


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:. I nave been interested in your
editorial "Three Months Hard Read
ing" Magistrate Kochsndorfer is cer-
tainly 9 brave man. He must know
that Dickens was an Englishman, and
certain of our hyphenat~d citizens will
surely Object to our boys reading Eng
lish books.
Seriously, 1t seems to mo that tho
blood-and-thunder moving pictures are
destroying the taste for reading in the
rising generation. The movie bandits
are such picturesque characters and
so different from the Fagins and Bill
Sikeses that Dickens has portrayed In
Oliver Twist crime .aas no stage
scenery. There we see it in all its
loathsome wickedness. OF course our
present-day criminals have great adj
vantages over the period of Bill Skies,
who might have escaped If there had
been an automobile that he could have
stolen. But there is one old maxim
that is as true to-day as it was whea
Dickens wrote the experience of Oliver
Twist, and it is this: 1.-THE way Of the
transgressor is hard"
Any book that will impress the fact
on boys mind that iileness and loaf
ing leads to disgrace is q good book
for him to read. AFT.

A Protest
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

~ VIC GultoT OI Inc Tribune.
Sir: I protest. The American people
is a long-suffering people; but the
sentimental reading furnished by the
press the past many weeks is nause-
ating. We are su-feited Herewith. In
column after column, day following day
into weeks, the press has set forth the
sickening details Of divorces, of bath
room parades, of indecent living. In
these stirring days Of spiritual, eco
nomic, financial, political revival and
reconstruction can you find no more
worthy items Of news for us? Must
you spread abroad on your front pages,
morning and evening, all these domes-
tic infeiicities? They really do not in
terest US. Who are these people? Are
they Of such vital Importance to our
beloved country that you needs must
fill your sheets with their doings ad
infinitum. ad nauseam? Are thew Of
service to US or do they set us a
righteous example? In the name Of
common decency and upright living
beg OF you to cease your lengthy re-
countings Of all such items. We want
vital, real news, not scandal.

No Trading With Bolshevists

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l want with all my heart to con-
gratulate you on the stand you have
taken on the question of Bolshevism
and the soviets. Even to discuss trade
relations with this band Of unspeak-
able international criminals seems be.
yond belief.
1t taxes ones credulity to believe
that any one could be in earnest in ad-
vocating such a course-that is, any
American worthy Of the name. OF
course, we know that our standards
and laws are being tampered with and
devastated by an alien crew to whom
the country's honor and integrity mean
nothing, which is all the more reason
for the Americans to unite and say
"Hallelujah!" when The Tribune comes
out strongly against movement that
would not only leave blot on our
country's honor but would strengthen
the forces of destruction which are at
work on every side.
Keep up the good work! You have
every full-blooded American behind
you.

The Transgressor in the Movies

Even those open-minded persons
who agree gladly that they are in
no condition to cast the first stone
are inclined to feel some bitterness
II obliged to see the transgressor
whom they have spared cashing in
on their generosity by decorating
films at a handsome salary. Every
one was willing to see Clara Hamon
acquitted and baptized and set upon
the strait and narrow path once
more. 1t seemed a little excessive to
learn that this path led directly into
"movie" studio.
So the news that California film
concerns are uniting to bar any
Clara Hamon films is welcome. We
hope the bar will be raised gen.
orally. "Movies" are not the first to
sin by exhibiting sensational de-
PENDANTS. In the old, glad days
these famous figures used to betake
themselves to the vaudeville stage
or the lecture platform-such being
the narrow offerings available.
Nowadays the film offers far more
profitable and an easier field.
If in face of this temptation the
powers Of the motion picture world
will take a stand against such ex-
ploitation they wall set a new
standard in such matters and will
deserve well Of their public.

Twelve Day Justice

Yesterday, twelve days after Mrs.
Edith Wilson, of Perth Amboy, was
brutally killed, her negro slayer
was convicted Of murder in the first
degree. The trial lasted day. The
jury was out fifteen minutes. Sen
tence was Immediately imposed
death in the electric chair in the
week Of May 2.
There was no unseemly haste in
all this. The lavish projections of
the innocent developed by the Eng
lish common law were all observed.
The possibility of judicial error was
reduced to a minimum. But no RI
diculous delays designed to give
lawyers chance to split hairs were
permitted. The defendant was am
ply protected from persecution,
from perjury, from mistake; he was
not coddled and treated as victim
to be sentimentalized over and
apologetically convicted il the wit
nesses, did not all die while waiting
for the trial.
Why was this extraordinary rec
ord achieved? Because Perth Am
boy is situated in New Jersey and
not in New York. There was plenty
OF excitement and tension when this
revolving crime was made public.
The tinder in which racial hatred
kindles most readily. into q devas-
tating blaze was all present. No
blaze has resulted. Thanks in no
small degree to this factor Of GER
tain, speedy Justice, no hue and cry
of racial antagonism has started.

Extra Half Cent Profits

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l was very glad indeed t.
read your all too short editorial in
to-day's Tribune regarding the coinage
of 21s-cent piece. Nearly two years
ago l wrote to several papers advocat-
ing such coin as necessary and as one
way to reduce the high cost of living.
Without exception, when it comes to
paying the half cent, the ultimate
consumer" pays. Almost invariably all
articles that can be sold by the half
pound, half dozen, half yard and pint
are priced at an uneven amount SO
that the storekeeper will benefit by
the extra half cent.
! went to the trouble when goin..
into this matter before to figure out
the extra profit to one storekeeper
alone on a certain number Of his
customers buying half q pound of
butter at time, and It amounted in
one week to SIP. Remember. that was
on butter alone.
On goods sold by the yard these ex-
ira half cents must amount to an ap-
paliing sum in the course of year.
Now, why should the ultimate con-
sumer" pay all this when the coinage
OF 2h-cent piece would solve the
difficulty and keep our half cents in
cur own pockets? Furthermore, I'll
wager that there would be an i'm
mediate change in prices.

l.enine's Impudent Message

That Lenine, however much he ac-
knowledges his former errors, has
not conquered his love Of mendacity
appears In his audacious message to
President Harding. In this he
asks for reastablishment Of trade
relations between tho United States
and Russia, and thus implies that
such relations are now forbidden.
This, Of course, is fiat untruth.
AS the State Department has re-
peatedly pointed out, there are no
regulations, except in regard to the
| shipment Of war munitions, limiting
trade with Soviet Russia. Any one
! who wishes to ship goods to Russia
and take chances on getting pay is
at liberty to do so. So far as gov
ernment prohibitions are concerned,
it is the Soviet government which
maintains barriers. 1t is true we
have no consular system in Soviet
Russia, but consuls are by no means
indispensable to trade.
The simple facts are, as Mr..
Hoover clearly pointed out the other
day, that there is no trade with
Soviet Russia because Russia has no
exportable surplus to sell, except
stolen gold and jewelry. No Red
here, however much he may join in
propaganda, is personally willing to
sell to Lenine on time. Trade can
not exist when there is a vacuum of
confidence.
What Lenine maneuvers for is po-
litical recognition, in the hope it will
help him to hold on in Russia. He
is doubtless ready enough, at least
temporarily, to lay aside the project
of fomenting a world revolution, for
ne sees his autocracy totters at home.
He would like to be able to say to
the Russians: Behold, have been
accepted and certified to by the
United States, and your troubles will
soon be over!''
That our government is we'll in
formed as to the nature of this
latest wriggle by the Russian despot
Secretary Hoover's statement makes
evident. 1t is not to be cajoled or
tricked into betraying the people of
Russia, who look to us, if not for ac-
tive support, at least for sympathy.

Irish Relief
With Food So Plentiful. How Is the
Fund To Be Spent2

WIN T OOQ DO + lentlIul, E1OW is inc
Fund To Be Spent?
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A humane movement always en-
cages the sympathies of the American
public and deserves its fullest support,
whether kinship is claimed with the
sufferers or not. Ireland, Of course,
comes under this rule.
But the question arises, What form
will this Irish relief take? The money
cannot be spent for food. On the au-
thority Of perhaps the best informed
Of Irishmen, Sir Horace Plunkett, who
recently spoke to numerous gatherings
in the United States, Ireland has an
abundance of foodstuffs Of all descrip-
tions. The only hungry in Ireland, he
made plain, are those in q few places
and among the itinerant armed bands
who have to exc out an existence as
best they can while lodging the Brit
ish forces. 1t is anomalous, but true,
that while n revolution smolders in
Erin the little island, in proportion to
her population, ranks among the first
of the food exporting countries of the
world. Scotland Wales and England
---on another little island close by
are her best customers, practically her
only customers.
"Of course, there is some near-star-
vation in. the slums of Belfast and
Dublin" said Sir Horace, cas- there
always has been, and as there is in the
slums Of London, Paris and New York,
but it cannot be said that Ireland is
threatened with starvation. When I
heard Of this new and generous move
ment for Irish relief l could not help
applaud it, though I objected to any
appeal on the grounds of fearful suf-
fering by the Irish population, for the
facts of our agricultural prosperity
are manifest"
But the $10,00o,o00 could be ex-
pended in two ways. One would be the
Sim Fein way-to finance the guerrilla
insurrection, or to bank the fund at
interest until the guerrilla fighting ends
one way or another, and then devote
the fund to the rehabilitation of prop
erty damaged or destroyed during
these days of spasmodic terror. To
rebuild to-day might mean an invita-
tion to new destruction.
A statement from the American
Committee for Relief in Ireland should
set forth wherein "the people of ire
land are drinking the dregs of human
suffering to still greater degree than
Belgium during the great war" This
seems an exaggeration with respect to
Ireland as a whole. Sir Horace Plum
kett, head of the Irish Agricultural
Organization Society, ex-president Of
the Irish Convention, leader of the
Irish Dominion League, a stanch and
loyal Ireland-for-the-I statesman,
may be assumed to know the facts.

Many Boys, Many Minds

1t may be true, as Mr.. Edison
says, that if a young man is "dead
mentally" at twenty-one there is no
hope for him. But he might be asleep
mentally and still have useful
future. 1t is not always those who
develop most quickly who make the
largest mark upon the world.
Mr.. Edison seems to esteem pre-
cocity unduly. He holds that interest
in ones "life work" should be
reached between the ages of twelve
and sixteen. But how many boys at
this immature period really know
what their tastes or capacities are?
Genius may reveal it's natural bent
at almost any age and, like Mozart,
strike perfect chord the first time
the fingers touch the keys. But the
ordinary boy is a mass of blind and
often conflicting impulses. The dis
tinguished scientist may once have
wished to bea film hero, or the bril-
liant novelist to be a motorman.
Many among an earlier generation
Of boys dreamed of being pirates
as perhaps some of them became in
a strictly legal fashion.
Chance, after all, selects the occu-
pations of the great majority. For
the everyday work of the world is
done by the undistinguished, the per-
sons CT moderate talents who could
fill any one Of half dozen roles re-
specially, if with no hope Of emf
nence. Every lawyer does not have
a distinctively legal mind, nor is
every banker born fnancier. 1t is
possible to fail in cne occupation be-
fore succeeding in another. More
Than one person has found it easy to
fail or to succeed in both. There is
something to be said for this diverse
capacity. Intensive training does
not always promote the highest in
tellectual power. To have both a
vocation and an avocation ia to give
