ness of will" is the best tribute. When
we look for one essential fact which
makes George Washington the father"
of his country, when we search for the
precise moment of this fatherhood, we
may eXpatiate on just this stanchness
of will as it decided at Valley Forge.
According to Washington Irving, it was
told to George Washington that the
country was in despair; that round
robin of all the leading men of the
country, tempted by British terms
truly generous and ebsolving every
hody, tempted also by British gold
flooding Philadelphia, had decided to
call off the rebellion, and that only one
word was needed--the word of General
Washington-and British terms would
be accepted. 1t was then Washington
all alone decided the independence Of
this country by saying "No." Here the
destiny of America hung on a single
Unread, but that thread was "the in
domitable stanchness Of will" of George
Washington, truly the father of his
country at that precise moment and
ever after J. AUGUST RATH.

A 'Talkative Admiral

Whatever criticism may be passed
on Admiral Huse, the new COM
mandant Of the New York Navy
Yard, it will not be said he is tongue
tied. He has celebrated his arrival
by the delivery of speech which
it is to be hoped will not be cabled
abroad, and if it is will not be read
too seriously.
The talkative admiral has dis
covered some remarkable things.
One is that Great Britain and Japan
are in alliance against US and that
they both have great navies. Then.
applying the principle that a navy
not completely adequate is useless
his argument is that we need enough
naval force to whip both of them. So
if the admiral has his way taxpayers
should get ready to empty their
pockets, for it will. take couple of
billions to make our future safe.
The admiral, as might be expected,
is all for big ships. Submarines, he
says, can't blockade us7~apparently
! counting as inconsequential the fact
that they could drive our merchant
ships from the sea and make heavy
ships stick to protected ports.

The Navy's New Head

Governor Lowden declined the
portfolio Of Secretary Of the Navy
on the ground that he had had "no
training in naval affairs" 1t is not
recalled that any citizen of the
United States has ever before hest
tated to accept the post of Secretary
of the Navy because of his lack of
knowledge of naval affairs. Famili-
arity with such matters, training in
the art Of war, knowledge of the
fundamental principles of strategy,
afloat or ashore, have never been
considered to be essential oualifica.
tions in men selected Cor our war
portfolios.
l., The action of Governor Lowden is,
therefore, remarkable. 1t indicates
such an intelligent realization on his
part of the responsibilities of the
Secretary of the Navy that the coun-
try and the navy will regret his re-
fnsal to accept. Naval officers can
only hope that the man selected will
also realize his limitations and seek
the advice and assistance of the best
minds in the navy in administering
the affairs Of the Navy Department.
In this connection it is important to
note the concluding paragraph of
Admiral Fiske's book, The Art of
Fighting, as follows:
"The Secretary Of War and the Sec
retary of the Navy. in peace as we'll
as in war, must continually make de-
cisions upon matters involving, ulti-
mately, the lives Of thousands Of
men. the expenditure of millions Of
dollars and the safety of the nation.
1t is my mature and profound conyic-
ton that no man unframed in the
principles and the technique of
strategy would dare to accept either
position If he really understood the
sponsibilities he was assuming and
the dangers he was courting"
The next Secretary of the Navy
will find the navy disrupted by the

The Public Pays

an 1917 says leafet of the AS
sociation of Railway Executives,
"the railroads had 350,000 section
and unskilled laborers, and in 1920
$4,000, an increase of IA per cent.
The wages paid them in 1917 totaled
$22o,0o0,oo0,- while in 1920 the
amount had increased to $476,000,-
900, or 112 per cent
AS he studies these figures and re-
members what he had to 30 in fixing
conditions whose existence>is throt-
tling general business by forcing up
rates to traffic-killing levels, it is to
be assumed Mr.. McAdoo is both a
soberer and a wiser man. 1t was
easy. to keep every one good-natured
for time by yielding to every
pressure, but the pubic pays.
1t is common to speak Of the re-
turn of the railways to their owners
and private management, but in fact
their freedom was limited. And the
cost falls on the people at large.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One by one the works of Stan
ford White, the greatest benefactor in
an artistic sense that New York has
ever Known, have been destroyed or
are threatened by the relentless force
of Big Business.
This morning the doom Of the Herald
Building is announced in your paper.
The name Of the architect of the re-
placing skyscraper is not given; but.
| speaking, | am sure, with the voice of
the many who have long admired the
| Herald Building, may it not be sug-
gested that the present low structure.
with its carefully designed skyline,
would make an admirable crown to
future building, which might thus
furnish solid block of no matter low
many stories devoted TO business, and
add the grace Of art to its more prosaic
purpose? Indeed, the airy lightness of
/ Whites building would suffer little
from being thus elevated, while its
sltuotion, permitting it's view trom
across the square, would enable its
proportions, the elegance of it's facade
and its studied silhouette to be re
tanned for the enduring appreciation of
those who regard it as one of the too
lew jewels Of our metropolitan casket.
! 1t is common practice with our
architects to seek to overcome the dis
proportion Of height to breadth in de-
signing skyscrapers by accenting hori-
zontal lines as strongly as possible,
and by lifting this long and low build
ing to form the upper story OF the rev
building it would seem as though its
architect would find a happy solution
to this problem. WILL Fl low

chaotic policies of the last eight

which in great measure ignores the

short, he will discover that the pres

Law School Reform

in his annual report Dean Stone
of the Columbia Law School en-
phasizes the Importance of liberal
education before embarking on the
study of the law. He holds that
"there are infinitely greater posi-
bilities of improving legal education
and raising the quality of the bar
through insisting on thorough col
iege training as preliminary to
law study than by the elaboration
and refinement and the extension of
law school curricula"; and he at
tributes the superiority of the Eng
lish bar in large measure to the fact
that most of its members are edu-
Gated at the universities.
To enter the Columbia Law
School one must have either an A.
B. degree or else a record Of three
years Of college work in which q
certain amount OF study of history
and economics was included. This
selective principle provides the
school with a fine student body.
The professors can count on their
pupils possessing that beginning III
liberal culture which is requisite to
the thorough understanding of legal
history and legal principles.
1t is indeed desirable, as Dean
Stone says, that other law schools
should stiffen their requirements
for admission, and the various bar
associations may be asked to exert
their influence in this direction
But meanwhile Columbia University
might see to it that the benefits of
its own select and finely equipped
law school are at the service of all
who are entitled to them. This will
not be until women are admitted on
equal terms with men.
1t will not do to say that the
school is already overcrowded.
lhere are plenty OF ways OF limit
ing its numbers on rational princi-
pies. Even the simple method of
first come first served would be
more reasonable than the plan Of
men first and women nowhere. But
better way would be to examine
the academic records of the appli-
cants, or to subject them to some
test devised for the purpose, and to
weed out the least promising at the
start. Also it would probably be no
great loss to the world if some of
the weaker students-those who
are now just scraping through
should be dropped in midcourse.

One Of a Quintet

The death Of William F. McCombs,
after a short life whose achievements
show how an indomitable will may
triumph over bodily infirmities, re-
moves one of quintet that special
lists in the minutia Of American his
tory will associate with the rise Of
Woodrow Wilson.
Except for the enthusiasm Of Mr..
McCombs for fellow Princetonian,
President Wilson would probably
never have moved from Trenton to
Washington. Beginning work among
a limited group of university and
professional men, Mr.. McCombs ere
ated Wilson legend. His service
was of the sort no money can buy or
political organization furnish. To be
really believed in by some one gives
the aspiring mighty push from
within. Did not Mahomet, after
twenty years of fruitless labor, pros
per from the day one woman convert
accepted him as prophet?
Mr.. Wilson has been more fortu-
nate in gaining friendships than in
retaining them. George Harvey was
first to discern his political possibili-
ties, and persuaded the late James
Smith, boss CT New Jersey, to give
him a gubernatorial nomination.
Then Cleveland Fl. Dodge enlisted
himself or was enlisted by Mr.. Nc
/ Combs, and Mr.. Dodge had a purse.
Finally, at another crisis, along
! came Colonel House to lay his gifts
on the Wilson altar~-the powerful
Texas delegation and the reversion-
ary influence of Mr.. Bryan, which
was not driven away even by the
cooked hat" letter and which at the
proper time in the Baltimore con-
vention snote Champ Clark.
! Of the five Mr.. Wilson has had
the luck to keep on close terms with
but one Colonel Harvey soon be-
came a center of untiring opposition.
Senator Smith in his later days
cursed loudly. whenever the name of
his former faVorite was mentioned.
! Colonel House, one of whose special
ties is good taste, says nothing, but
fis absence from the White House
has. been noted. What caused the
rift with Mr.. McCombs has never
been explained, but for some reason
he was not called into counsel. Only
Mr.. Dodge remains as still Wilson
cheer leader.

The Tribune's Short Stories

Ihe Tribune receives a high rat
ing in Mr.. Edward J. O'Brien's lat
est year book of the American short
story, The Best Short Stories of
1920. AS in 1916, 1917, 1918 and
1919, this newspaper ranks near the
top for the publication of short
stories of distinction. It is thc only
newspaper included among American
periodicals offering high class work
OF this sort. In the eleven month
period from October, 1919, to Septenl-
Der, 1920, covered by Mr.. O'Brien's
book, The Tribune was fifth out of
twenty-one in the number of dis
! tinctive stories published and eighth
In percentage of distinctive stories.
| Magazines above us in the number
published were The Smart Set,
Harper's, The Century and Serb
ner's. Those above us in percentage
were The Dial, The Atlantic, The
Midland, The Century, Harper's,
Scribner's and The Pictorial Review.
Of these The Dial, The Atlantic and
The Midland published comparative
ly few stories.
The Tribune offered in its Sum
day Magazine Section forty-eight
stories, of which thirty-one are
starred in Mr.. OBrien's lists. These
were all translations of French short
stories made by Mr.. William L. Nc
Pherson. They fairly represented
the work of considerable number
Of the best French fiction writer's of
to-day. Among the regular. con-
tributors were Frederic Boutet,
Pierre Mile, Edmond Haraucourt,
Nine. Lucie, Deiarue- -Mardrus, Jean
Bertheroy (Mme. Berthe Carianne lie
