To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is the sentiment of every
true American that there should be a
great gathering of loyal Americans to
welcome Admiral Sims on the arrival
of the Olympic, Genuine Americans
should escort this brave man from the
dock to his train for Washington. A
citizens committee should be organized
to make the arrangements.
On the day Admiral Sims arrives let
the American flag and the English en-
sign be displayed side by side.
Let the defenders of Anglo-American
brotherhood carry the two flags at the
head of the parade in honor of Admiral
Sims as an answer to the attack of the
mob upon the Union Club last winter.

ance World conditions have changed
greatly since 1911. The British do
minions have also gained enormously
IN influence as a result Of the war.
The London conference will, there
fore, probably have marked effect
not only on British imperial policy,
but also on the broader policy
through which world peace is to be
hereafter guaranteed and main

Lincoln on Protection

Now that tariff debate is on
again in Washington and many old
things are being resaid, it is perhaps
timely to republish the following
from a speech of Abraham Lincoln,
delivered in 1847:
ain the early days of our race the
Almighty said to the first of our race,
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread' and since then, if we except the
light and the air of heaven, no good
thing has been or can be enjoyed by US
without having first cost labor And
lnasmuch as most good things are pro-
duced by labor, it follows that all such
labor has produced them. But it has so
happened in all ages of the world, that
some have labored, and others have
without labor enjoyed large proper
ton of the fruits. This is wrong and
should not continue. To secure to each
laborer the whole product of his labor,
object of any good government.
But then a question arises; How
can government best effect this? In
our own country, in its present condi-
tion, will the protective principle ad-
vance or retard this object? Upon
this subject the habits of our whole
species fall into three great classes
useful labGr, useless labor and idleness.
Of these the first only is meritorious,
and to it all the products of labor
rightfully belong; but the two latter,
while they exist, are heavy pensioners
upon the first, robbing it of large
portion of its just rights. The only
remedy for this is to, so far as pos
sible, drive useless labor and idleness
out of existence.
"And, first, as to useless labor. Be-
fore making war upon this we must
learn to distinguish it from useful. 1t
appears to me that all labor done di-
rectly and indirectly in carrying ar
ticles to the place of consumption
which could have been produced in suf-
ficient abundance, with as little labor,
at the place of consumption as at the
place they were carried from is use
less labor. Let Us take a few examples
of the application of this principle to
our own country. Iron, and every
thing made of iron, can be produced in
sufficient abundance and with as little
labor in the United States as any,
where else in the world therefore, all
labor done in bringing iron and its
fabrics from foreign country to the
4 United States is useless labor. .
"We may easily see that the cost of
this useless labor is very heavy 1t
includes not only the cost of the actual
carriage, but also the insurances Of
every kind and the profits of the mer-
chants through whose hands il passes.
All these create a heavy burden nee
essarily falling upon the useful labor
connected with such articles, either de-
pressing the price to the producer or
advancing it to the consumer, or. what
is more probable, doing both in part"
Lincoln's fame is chiefly associ-
ated with the great moralities and
humanities. But his lucid mind was
equally illumining with respect to
economies, though he used not the
word. Those who are getting out
again shelf worn free trade war
cries may we'll pause to reread the
foregoing and to answer if they can.

"Let u.s." asks Damon Runyon, "have
done with some Of the nonsense about

New-York tribune., 1921-06-20

"They believe" explains one of the
characters in The Man Who Did the
Right Thing in speaking of certain
native tribe called the Wa-rangi, that
if man goes out hunting and makes
a bad miss in throwing his spear or
assagai at an elephant it is because
his wife is untrue to him at home! So
when he returns from the chase his
wretched spouse is trussed up and
bound to the top Of a great pile of
brushwood."
The life of a buffers wife must be
short in Africa.

Welcome Admiral Sims
"Show Him What the Hundred
Million Non-Hyphenates Think"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a demonstration alike of
100 per cent Americanism and conf
dence in a real American, I strongly
urge all who can to meet Admiral Sims
upon his arrival
A big demonstration at such a time
IN my opinion, would be an effective
answer to hyphenism in our country.

FLANAGAN

Flanagan-kindly, patient, courteous,
handsome Flanagan-has clicked the
Indicator for the last time. That is
what the coatroom man told me when
I missed the long familiar figure. He
will not again examine the books you
carry, nor bid you check your UNI
brella, nor direct you to the proper
division. He will not pass the time
Of day, nor swap joke.
Doubtless the Lord might give US
another such concierge as Flanagan
but almost certainly He will not.
Flanagan's dignity was as constant as
his good nature. He wore his uni
form, not with the crumpled abandon
Of the free American attendant, but
with an almost military precision and
neatness. Indeed, one might at first
have. thought him rather a veteran
soldier than a retired police officer. In
the twenty years I knew him his hair
had turned silvery and his face had
begun to take on the look of benevo-
lonce one sometimes sees when the
peace Of age has succeeded to the rigor
of late middle life.
From his post at the library's main
entrance he watched visitors surveying
the marble span of the vestibule, paint
ers who came to copy canvases in the
gallery, school pupils and college stu
dents, literary workers and research
a,,@, 1L,,x,,
trated magazines in the periodical
room; Bolshevists who stole books to
prove the community of all wealth;
designers delving into the past for
motifs, of which the present seems
strangely destitute. These and many
other human types he saw. Every now
and again somebody happened along
who fancied the library was q post
office, and once 1 was chatting with
Flanagan when in burst precipitate
man with the somewhat startling
query, (Which way to the trains ?"
That is to say, it was somewhat star
tling to me; but Flanagan said, cal
ncst every day some fellow mistakes
this for the Grand Central"
Flanagan was on duty at the recep-
ton to the King of the Belgians and
afterward spoke of the monarch's
height and stately, though gracious,
bearing He was glad, for the sake
Of the royal profession, that a few
good kings were left. He was there
u,ban 20 ordiool Morc;ar Jocoo,dol oan
of the broad staircases and blessed
child thrust forward by it's mother,
while the crowd rendered tribute to
the prelate who had shown himself
also man. Flanagan was alive to
such moments, just as he was alive
to interesting topics of the day, or to
bit of fun.
Some folk would have missed Pot
tel's lions less than they miss Flana-
gan. Not that he has passed on, mind
you, but he has passed out - out of
the multitude of questions, out of the
winter drafts from the ever-s swinging
quenters, who hope that he may live
long to enjoy his leisure. 1t were no
bad thing if some of the bibliotaphs
one encounters on library stats were
SO humane as Flanagan, and made so
pleasant the approach to learning!

Queerful Widget to them and show
them the amusing illustrations every
time they both ask entertainment of
US. So we wish your young readers
would let US know how many books
there are like Alice in Wonderland and
Queerful Widget, and we want to ask
you, H. sr, why you and the other
book reviewers don't pay some atten-
tion to book like Queerful Widget
when we are sure that thousands of
parents would be grateful for hearing
of it.
maybe you'll read Queerful Widget
yourself and tell your readers more
about it. Please understand that
don't think it's as good as Alice in Won

Huge SLASH in
ARMS BUDGET

OF the House appropriations com

that view and behind him are a
group of some OF the strongest lead
ers in the House.
II was learned today that the de-
ferred army appropriations bill
which the House held up because
OF the conference will be taken up in
secret session by the House appro-
priation committee on January 10.
Advocates OF the $500. 900, 900 re-
duction are not confident such a large
slash can be made but they are de-
;ermined that a big cut must be
made-if not 100000, 900 then 5000
100000.
The navy is costing approximately
s426. 900. 900 for this fiscal year and
has asked materially the same
amount for next year. through esti-
mates that we're submitted withou
regard for The arms conference
The army received s40O, 900, 900 last
year but has trimmed its request
down TO s363.672,417 for next year
In view OF Agreements reached at
the conference, the navy naturally
will bear the brunt of the trimming.
The army, however, Is in for a big
reduction also. The plan Of the
House leaders, it was said. is not
to reduce the size OF the army per
sonnei TO any great extent but 10
make savings through elimination OF
big clerk hire and expenditures for
army schools.
These schools dot the country, be
ing located at practically every army
post and many of them are regarded
as being no longer necessary. Mos
OF them we're established during ths
war and have not yet been cut dowr
to a peace basis.
