An Educational Metronolis

New York University has it's COM
menccment to-day, with approx
mately q thousand degree-receiving
graduates, following last weeks like
function at Columbia with still
longer roll. The two ceremonies are
an impressive reminder of the status
of this city as center of institu-
tions of higher education.
These two are in numbers the
largest universities in America, hav-
ing together nearly $4,000 students,
by their side are the largest two col
leges, with an enrolment of 25.5Oo.
These are the largest institutions of
collegiate rank in the United States
and are four of only six which have
as many as 10000 students each. In
addition, New York has nine other
institutions of collegiate rank, one of
them university, with approx
mately $500 students, 50 New York
has something like $4,000 college and
university students within its bor-
ders, to say nothing of thousands
more in professional and technical
schools. The record is unequalled by
any other city in the world.
Nor is New York's boast of num-
bers' alone. 1t can claim to give
higher education Of q quality which
compares fayorably with that in any
other American city Once the ma
jority of young men of New York
went elsewhere fer college and uni
versity training. Now young men

For Pedestrians Compensation
To the Editor of The Tr;bn,s

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A law which in nv opinion
should be altered or abrogated is that
of contributory negligence in accidents
to pedestrians. caused by automobiles
At present people injured in street sc
cldents have practically no redress, be-
cause before they can recover damages
they must prove that they have done
nothing which has in any degree, no
matter how slight, aided in bringing
about the result; in other words, must
prove entire freedom from negligence
ON their own part.
In many of the states the rule as to
contributory negligence has been abro-
gated in cases arising under the work
mems compensation act. Workmen are
compensated for injuries received in
the course of their employment not
withstanding their own negligence.
This should be applied as the rule in

Of autos to pay damages in such cases,
shutting out the defense of eontribu-
tory negligence.

Bradley Of Asbury

Not many men Of his time and in
his sphere of activity exerted them
selves to. as good effect as James A..
Bradley, the founder and for many
years the directing spirit of Asbury
Park.
He transformed a desolate expanse
of sand and scrub pine barrens into
a handsomely planned and populous
city, opulent in industry and COM
merce, attractive for residence and
alluring as seasons resort for
pleasure. 1t was especially admirable
to do this on basis Of reason ana
integrity, without either speculation
or sensation. There was no gulling
of the unwary into buying worthless
lots at extravagant prices nor any
spectacular invitations to revelry.
A man of vision, energy and integ-
rity, Mr.. Bradley sought to found a
community where there should be
liberty without license and decency
without despotism, and, in spite Of
gibes of the cynical, succeeded to
greater degree than most similar en-
terprises. There was firm resistance
to merrymaking such as had made
some other coast resorts notorious,
but there was never puritanical de-
nial Of rational pleasure. Contrasts
were often drawn between Asbury
Park and its cheek-by-jowl neighbor,
Ocean Grove, but those who knew
both well perceived that in the OPEN
gated freedom of the one the stand
ards of department and morality
were no less high than amid the
Sabbatarian restrictions of the other.
Possessed Of idiosyncrasies such as
often mark men of parts and force,
Mr.. Bradley conspicuously had qua.-
tiles which, without any specious
display of altruism, made for the
welfare of others as well as of him
self. The fine city which he founded
is his worthy monument.

No CENSORSHIP,

Judge Hitz, Of the Court of APP
peals of the District of Columbia,
does not agree with Postmaster Cen
eral Hays with respect to the propri-
ETY. and rightfulness Of the denial of
second-class mail privileges to the
Socialist newspaper The Call.
The judge may be the better law
yer, but the Postmaster General, be
it said with all due respect for the
judge, seems to display the greater
practical sense. Who will contend
that Congress, when it passed the
law providing for the second-class
mail registration, had any idea of es-
tablishing general censorship over
the contents of registrants?
The un-Americanism of regula-
tion which shall make the Postmas-
ter General a censor not only for
periodicals but logically for books
and even newspapers carrying &C
counts of radical gatherings as news
has been discussed chiefly in relation
to the liberty Of the press. But there
is another objection. If there is to-
be censor he should not be the
Postmaster General. He has not the
time or the disposition to read all the
vast amount Of printed pages pro-.
duced in America. His business is to
transport and deliver mail rather
than to peruse it. He is too busy
with his proper duties to have alien
ones loaded on him.
The Call is tricky publication
whose course has gained little re-
spect. 1t denies that it is enlisted in
behalf of a revolution by force, but
it's argument commonly leads close to
this doctrine. But as to matter so
important as the liberty of the press
broader view must be taken than
comes from looking at the demerits
of one periodical. xat

Convention Representations

The Republican Convention last
june passed q resolution by an
overwhelming vote directing the
National Committee within a year
to adopt basis Of delegate reprc-
sentation "in proportion to the Re-
publican vote actually cast"
To-day the National Committee
meets in Washington to consider
such q basis. Experience proved
that even the reduction made be-
fore the last convention was insult
ficient to prevent gross abuse and
scandal in the manipulation of
Southern delegates. The sub-com-
mittee appointed to recommend a
solution has therefore considered
several different plans and has
found vigorous opposition to any
further reduction, On the one hand
is the suggestion of Mr.. Hilles to
have, besides the four delegates-at-
large and one delegate for every
district, an additional delegate for
the first 10000 Republican votes
cast in a given district, and in case
the number of votes cast exceeds
10000 to have two additional dele
gates. The practical result of this
would be to leave the Southern rep-
resentation stationary and to in
crease largely the Northern repre-
scntation, thus increasing the con-
vention's membership to nearly
$500. On the other extreme is the
proposal to have, besides the four
MISUNDERSTANDING, one delegate for
every district casting given num-
ber of Republican votes (say,
100000 and a second delegate for
every district casting 10000 votes.
In this manner the wishes of the
last convention for representation
Sin proportion to the Republican
votes actually cast could be par
tally met.
1t is reported from Washington
that compromise is expected on
the basis Of allowing no represen-
tation from any Congressional dis
trict unless that district shall have
Republican candidate for Con-
gress next year and a bona tide
Republican organization.
1t is difficult to see how this pro-
posed compromise will do away with
the real evil. Proportional repre-
sentation is perfectly fair and just
basis. Why not adopt a method
that will simply and directly meet
the wish of the last convention
(and, incidentally, of the mass of
the Republican party) and place
the representation on basis pro-
portional to the Republican vote
actually cast? It is specially
necessary to do something this year
in view of the fact that the equal
suffrage amendment doubles the po-
tential vote in many states and
makes archaic and absurd the re-
strictions established in 1913.

and from all the countries of the
globe. The universities Of New York
have long been. pioneers in the prog
ress of education, particularly in
those developments which have made
scholars men Of affairs. Here no.

for journalists and writer's, and for
men and women in practically every
department Of financial, commercial

with the summer school system,
which keeps the doors Of academic

A Free Hand

In any steps toward international
concert for the reduction of arma-
ment and military expenditure the
President must take the lead. The
conduct of foreign relations is in
his hands. 1t is a responsibility of
which Congress cannot relieve him,
even if he wishes to be relieved Of
it--which he doesn't.
The Borah amendment to the
naval appropriation bill and the
Porter resolution approved by the
House Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions are legitimate enough express
sions of desire on the part of the
legislative branch to see excessive
armament costs moderated. They
have a political and moral signifi-
canoe greater, necessarily, than
similar resolutions would have if
passed by commercial, learned.
civic or other non-politica1 associa-
tiosns. But they, too, are advisory
only.
Considering this fact, differences
iK the form in which the wish for
a joint disarmament effort is clothed
do not seem to be very material.
President Harding is as anxious as
everybody else to reach an agree
ment which will limit military ex-
pansion and expenditure. He SYM
pathizes with the purpose Of
the Borah and the Porter proposals.
But it is the method of securing
contact with other nations and of
presenting the American point of
view to them which will really
matter. In this field the President
must use his own best Judgment.
Congress cannot hamper him and
would go beyond its province in
seeking to instruct him. Even a
partial disarmament can be attained
only by skillful diplomacy. The
world is in an unsettled state. Each
great power is considering its own
needs in the way of defense. Each,
perhaps, expects the others to show
a more altruistic spirit than it does.
Harmonization of interests is diff
cult. In these circumstances it is
best that the President should have
a perfectly free hand. Congress
may record its opinions and offer
it's cooperation. But the President
must initiate and carry through any
program looking in q practical way
to a Tightening of the worlds
military burdens.

Immigration ,Overdrafts

1t is no reproach to the new law
cmbodying the quota theory of inn
migration that more Italian 'immi.
grants have already arrived at Ellis
Island this month than may be
legally admitted. The fault lies with
the steamship companies which have
dumped a surplus here and may b.
cured by compelling the companies
to retransport them to Italy or take
care of them otherwise until the first
of July.
The law was passed for the .pur-
pose of regulating the flow of aliens.
The percentage of admissions al
lowed is based on the number of
alien residents here of each national
group. 1t is fair to all countries
sending immigrants over. But it was
intended primarily to protect this
country and to moderate the evil
economic effects OF the dumping of
lildn power mere IN times OF unen1-
ployment, as well as to relieve the
political strain of assimilating too
huge an alien lump.
The war made us sensitive to the
perils of hyphenated citizenship and
alien agitation. The United States
is still too much Of a composite of
breeds, races and cultures, with in
terests linking them to other father
lands. We have determined to make
America more American. The new
law gives us brief interval in which
digestion may work. It's necessity

haustion Of the nations monthly

Excluding

Postmaster General Hays is SYM
pathetic toward naming Colonel
Raymond Robins as director of the
work Of developing a better morale
among Postal Department en1-
ployees.
But there are protests. Colonel
Robins, when head of the American
Red Cross work in Russia, showed
himself poor judge of facts.
Though he recognized the impossi-
bility of Bolshevist success, he Ia
vored cooperating with Lenine and
Trotzky as the best practical way
of serving Russia.
This idea has since gone rather
sour, and it is now realized that
little or nothing can be done for
Russia while Bolshevism wastes at
the spigot a hundredfold more than
any trickle that can be introduced
at the bunghole.
Moreover, Colonel Robins was
most credulous to reports of mu-
TIMES at Archangel and otherwise
gave grounds to suspect he was
bitten by soviet doctrines. So many
of those who properly regard such
doctrines as poison would have
Colonel Robins remain in private
lie and rage at any suggestion to
the contrary.
The little controversy raises an
interesting question. Aow far
should one go in excluding? That
Colonel Robins lacks adequacy as
an economist is obvious. His rec
crd does not stimulate trust in him
as the maker of political or trade
policies.
But his very weakness would
seem specially to qualify him for
the task Mr.. Hays has in mind for
him. He is high-minded, self
sacrificing, believes In his fellow
beings, despite their lapses from
wisdom and logic, and is surcharged
with heart qualities and with the
most wholesome social emotions.
Such person, even though not
ranking high as a cold economist,
ought to be admirably suited to put
more hope and pride into the hearts
