Educational Insurance
To the Editor Of The Trihpne

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; Kindly permit me to replv ia
the comments on my recent letter In
your columns on educational insurance
agree with "Actuary' that a nar-
ent, BY investing his savings In hiub-
class securities, can best provide for
his sons education, but only in case
the parent remains alive. And that is
exactly what ! propose to do. desire
the educational Insurance to provide
Tor the education of my son only In
case of my death.
wv. A. L." proceeds on the errone-
eus assumption that an endowment
policy is desired. The proposed form
Of insurance, paying nothing to any,
body in case the boy dies before coli
lege age, should be obtained for about
$40 q year.
". A. I" states "such policy not
only is not, but ! am sure can not be,
written" The writer Is acquainted
with several English families who are
providing for ths education Of their
children exactly in the manner OUT
lined. This is no gambling PROPOSE
ton either, as the rate can Be calcu-
lated from mortality tables in as sci
entific manner as any other life In

China . Dire Need

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having returned from China
only five months ago and knowing
something Of the terrible conditions
there, read your editorial. "Chinese
Famine Week." in this MORNINGS
paper with great appreciation.
Unless one has Been in China It is
impossible. to realize what terrible
struggle the majority Of the Chinese
have for existence, even when the crons
are plentiful. The population in some
sections ia 50 great that even under
the most favorable conditions they are
only one jump ahead Of starvation. II
is impossible for them to put anything
aside; therefore, when the crops fail,
they have nothing to fall back on and
are face to face with starvation and
death.
The Chinese consider the United
States their greatest friend; therefore.
let as hope that we will not fail them
ia their dire need.

Three Centuries and 5000 Miles

Three Centuries and 5000 Miles
Lord Northcliffe, Of The London
Times, recently remarked that, de-
spite three centuries, three thousand
miles and thirty million continental
European immigrants, the Ameri-
can people to-day D more like the
British than any other people. Had
he said "Australians, New Zealand
ers and Canadians" instead Of
British" he would have been more
accurate.
Time, isolation and new blood, how
ever, have wrought changes. The
common environment has nodded
different stocks into q new people
and has added to the traditions and
customs Of seventeenth century
England many new elements. some
derived from continental Europe
and others developed here. The
background in America, however, is
not SO much Anglo Saxon as it is
colonial American. for hundred
years before 1776 thegs was little
immigration and q new type devel-

Action, Not Argument

~---x - 0~~~>ss~
1t is the duty Of the Allies to fix
the reparation total; it is the duty
of Germany to pay the sum 80 fixed;
it is the duty Of this country to sup
port the Allies and, il need be, to
join in measures to compel payment.
A moral obligation rests on US not
to countcnance policy which
means that the well-roofed German
shall live comfortably while his vic~
tim, the unroofed Frenchman, is ex-
posed to the fury Of the elements; a
financial interest concerns us, for
Germany's payment Of her debt will
enable Europe to discharge her debt
to us; political consideration
weighs with US, for IL Germany sue
cessfully avoids the consequences Of
her great raid we may expect a raid
to be made against as.
Thus, what is needed in the repa-
ration matter is noe argument but
ection.

The City's Swimming Holes

"Pull down the shades!" was the
advice Of the Mayor to those dis
turhed as they looked out Of the
windows at the scanty clothing
worn by youngsters who take street
shower baths in the summer.
AS If to give further reason for
keeping blinds closed, the Board Of
Estimate has voted 5000 for the
purchase of 1900 portable showers
to be attached to hydrants near the
frehouses. These will take the
place Of the old-fashioned hose baths
that have given such delight.
Grown-ups as they have walked by
on sweltering summer afternoons,
hot, dusty, sticky and tired, have
envied the kids their fun and felt in
their hearts bitterness against the
convention Of clothes. The hose was
little more exciting, some will say,
than the portable shower, just as
the water from the old we'll bucket
was cooler, and the winters used to
be more snowy and the pies better.
But even a shower has its glories.
The city, alasl has no swimming
holes, with slim, clean bodies dart
ing like trout through the water.
Thus the country bred always will
have an advantage, and the "Skin-
MES" who lead the glad pack have
the only good chance to become
presidents; nevertheless, the hydrant
and the hose are something Of a
substitute, and those who don't like
to see needn't look or may equip
themselves with binders.

Coalition Against Ta1nnsa1sy

The naming of citizens COM
mittee to seek coalition ticket
against Tanmany is serviceable
reminder that an old battle is about
to be renewed and an ancient enemy
of right and decency is about to he
attacked.
The chief machinery for fighting
Tammany is obviously Republican.
But the cause is neither Republican
nor Democratic. It is essentially
the same cause that drove Boss
Tweed from the city and that has
repeatedly elected anti : Tammany
mayors. Just how successful the
corruptionists Of Fourteenth Street
have been in the last three and {
half years the Forthcoming legisl.a-
tive inquiry will reveal. But enough
already is known in half dozen de-
partments to make it clear that
under new names, by revised
methods, the old Tiger still stalks
his prey.
Therefore, for every honest New
Yorker the fight is on. Every sim
cere aid is to be welcomed, every or
ganization representing will for
decency is to be Napplauded. The
new coalition committee deserves
general support and emphasizes the
matter that needs to be emphasized.
Its members may be assumed to be
wise enough to realize, however. that
the business it has in mind cannot
be furthered by division. Not to
recognize the supreme claims of
unity is in effect to support Tam
many. So let nobody commit itself
stubbornly to any exact program.

made in 1880, when under a treaty
made at San Jose the two countries
agreed to refer the case to the arbitra-
tion Of the King of the Belgians;
failing him, the King Of Spain, and
failing him, the President Of Argen-
tina. That program was never com
pleted, however. and the case was de-
feazsd another twenty years, until
1860, when an arbitral decision was Sc

This was SO vague in terms that both
parties hesitated to try to enforce it,
and it was left in abeyance for sew
eral years. During that time Panama
became independent of Colombia, and
of course inherited the dispute, so
that what had begun q hundred years
ago as a controversy between c ntral
America and Colombia was narrowed
down to one between Costa Rica and
Panama. In 1909 an Interpretation of
President Loubet's award was Sc
cured from Chief Justice White Of thu

which was so much in favor of Costa
Rica that Panama demurred at accent

Another Landmark Gone

When Patrick Joseph Scully, bet
ter known as Up. j." was born
Tammany still occupied it's original
wigwam at the corner Of Frankfort
Street and Park Row, the old Sun
Building. He was small East Side
shaver, aged nine, when the braves
moved their headquarters away up
town to the wilds Of Fourteenth
Street. That was in 1867, and the
Tweed disclosures Of 1s69-'71 were
all ancient history when P. j. en-
barked upon his political career.
A Corlears Hook boy by birth,
Mr.. Scully grew naturally into the
job Of political leader of his home
people. He possessed all the very
human qualities by which Tammany
grips it's faithful to It's bosom. The
mellower side Of East Side political
life was Mr.. Scully's natural habi-
tat, the chowder party, the club, the
doing Of necessary odds and ends of
favors equally for the newly ar
rived immigrant and for the old
tirae resident. An able and ikable
district boss was P. j., and he lived
and died true to his lights.
Mr.. Scully ran his County Clerks
Office, and later the Bureau of Mar
riage Licenses, without a touch Of
scandal. The jobs in his giving
were, of course, dutifully allotted to
the faithful. But the charge of
graft never touched his name. The
good citizens of New York who go
out year after gear to fight Tam
many would do we'll to study such
warm-hearted, generous type of
boss as P. ]. Scully. There is no
question Of the viciousness, the cor
ruption Of Tammany Hall, it's infu-
ence, it's system. But that it per-
forms a service Of sort to the igno-
rant and beset, that it knows how to
use natural leaders wherever they
spring up, is beyond question. Until
the opposition to Tamnany can
bring to bear upon Fourteenth
Street weapons equally effective the
permanent undoing Of Tammany is
beyond the realm Of possibility.

Protecting the EIarbor

The Supreme Court has refused
to perpetuate an injunction re-
straining New Jersey from pouring
sewage into the harbor. Never
tssless, the decision is q victory for
barbor protection and laya foun-
dation for future action,
The cities Of the Passaic Valley
may discharge sewage into the har-
Dor, but only after it's publication.
Such publication is not difficult.
Engineering science long ago demon
strated that sewage and garbage
can be made inoffensive and innocu-
GUS, and even source Of profit by
the manufacture Of fertilizers and
other useful products. The way is
opened not only to protect the har-
bor but to save valuable property
now thrown into the sea.
The populations on both sides Of
the Hudson are warned to reform.
If New Jersey may not befoul the
tidewater then New York also may
rot. II we can maintain suit, then
so can our neighbors. And it hap
pens that New York is the greater
offender. New Jersey will doubt
less soon have on the calendar an
action to compel New York to cease
befouling, and the outlook is that
the litigation will be successful.
Around the corner it is possible to
discern a future Supreme Court de-
cree which will forbid New York
longer to dirty the Federal waters.
Why has the city not modernized
its sewage and garbage disposal?
The answer is Hylan. The Mitche'
administration when voted out was
about to close contract for huge
plant, with the lessee getting his
compensation from waste products
and turning over the plant free Of
incumbrance to the city after the
lapse Of term Of years. Hearst
and Tammany, unrnindful Of any
interest but their political schemes,
wrecked the great project. AS long
as the influences now in control at
the City Hall continue dominant
there is no hope Of rational con-
structive work being undertaken.

Skeptical Grand Jurors

The local grand juries are not
showing great eagerness to indict
in liquor cases. Twenty-eight out
Of twenty-nine Of the possession
or "home brew" variety of accusa-
ton were showed aside by the Man
haitian additional jury, and Brook
Slyn's grand jury refused to indict
eleven persons charged with having
wine and beer in their homes and
with carrying whisky ON the hip.
It is evident from these returns
that there will not be q ferocious
application Of the extreme rigor Of
the Laws to enforce prohibition. And
if citizens Of the most eminent re-
spectability whose duty it is to bring
lawbreakers to trial will not sniff
the home brew when it is placed
under their noses Commissioner
Enright may say that the city is
dry as bone, but others are likely
to note that the breath OF the vine
yard still comes to their nostrils.
It the Eighteenth Amendment,
with the most drastic legislation to
carry it out, could be implacably
enforced for few weeks or months
nearly everybody would like to see
the experiment tried. But will it or
can It be done? So far as prohibi-
tion is concerned we seem certain
70 have for long time govern
naent Of men and not Of laws.
The experience Of practically
every state that has tried prohibi-
tion is that juries will not convict.

Your cartoon of yesterday, Doing

The general public is too prone TO

American propaganda which shows its

Why was the so-called "Rhine horror

way to prevent such an insulting slap
in the face of our crippled, blinded and
body-torn boys who went over there
and our Gold Star mothers whose
hearts went over there with them?
And why, ask, should Germany De
allowed to make offers OF any sort'
She should most certainly be forced to
make just reparation for the material
damage done, which is practically all
the Allies are demanding, and Americs
should stand solidIy with the Allies o.
that score.
Crimes OF the Middle Ages pale into
insignificanee compared with the hell
that was let loose by the supposedly
civilized Germans. Humanity will not
soon forget that. Whatever part Of
those crimes they may escape account
ing for, there will forever and ever re-
main One who said "Vengeancs is

We who believe in progress toward

that Germany will ultimately be
obliged to make fullest reparation for
her every crime against humanity, sr

Sir: Isn't it about time this myth
of the Briton never becoming natural
lied was definitely exploded? I think
If the statistics Of the number of
Britons (and Frenchmen, while we are
about it) who have become Americans
were published there would be some
surprise in the Irish camp. Isn't it
also about time that this old and un-
true argument was discarded by the
Irish and Germans in this country7

bate with his conscience, after living in
