As to "America"

A correspondent the other day
took The Tribune to task for saying
America" when "the United States"
was meant, saying that while this
was a European custom it was "not
our way until recently" and that
mo President prior to Roosevelt ever
spoke of our country as America"
Undoubtedly the constitutional
name of this country is the United
States Of America. But it was
called America long before it was
named the United States, and it has
thus been called, not alone recently,
as our correspondent seemed to
think, but from the beginning, and
not alone by Europeans, but also by
the most representative and author
itative Americans.
Washington himself, in his Fare
well Address, spoke of "the name of
American, which belongs to you in
your national capacity" Patrick
Henry said, 81 am not a Virginian.
but an American" John Adams
wrote of this country as America,
and SO did Madison, Hamilton.
Gouverneur Morris and John Quincy
Adams. In both the preliminary
and the definitive treaty Of peace of
1888 this country was repeatedly
called America, and jays treaty, in
1924, spoke of "American citizens, !"
"American vessels" and the "ports
Of America"
In a later generation Emerson in
his essays, George Bancroft in his
history and Webster, Everett and
Rufus Choate in orations spoke of
the United States as America and
of its people as Americans. OF
also-am an American!" cried Web
ster. II was born an American, I
live an American, l shall die an
American!"
1t is true that geographically the
name America" belongs to the entire
continent-indced, to both continents
of this hemispherc-and that it
might be politically claimed by other
countries. But it is also true that
it was first given to this country by
men who were directly interested in
those other countries. Chatham,
Burke, Barre and Fox habituallv
spoke first of the Thirteen Colonies
and later Of the United States as
America, in contradistinction to
Canada, and for the last hundred
years both Canadians, at the north,
and MeXicans, at the south, have fol-
lowed that usage, at least to the ex-
tent of calling US Americans.
This country labors under the dis
advantage of having no easily formed
adjectival derivative of it's name.
The word "Usonan' has been pro-
posed. but it is too labcred and af-
$eeted So the great mass Of our

Union Contracts

"Until all unions recognize the
sanctity Of their contracts they do
not deserve the respect of the en-
ployers or the public" said William
G. Lee, grand chief of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, on Mon
day last, and Mr.. Lee last year
backed up his words by acts-by his
uncompromising opposition to the So
called "illegal'' strikes. Recognizing
that good faith is not only the funda-
mental basis Of business morality,
but that without it civilized society
would dissolve, he insisted that a
contract once signed was binding
until duly changed by legal methods.
BY way of making good its policy
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men cancelled the charter of 900
lodges for contract breaking. This
course was distasteful to the i'm
patient, but the word Of the organ
lied trainmen is now regarded good.
The American public is not now
and never has been opposed to
unions. Fair men recognize that
organizations for mutual protection
are necessary in many industries.
Without them the standard of the
meanest employer tends to become
the general standard, for the more
decent must meet his competition.
The campaign to convince unionists
that the existence of their organiza-
tions is threatened is most deceitful.
Not to the union idea but to par
ticular practices Of unions is there
objection. Let contracts be kept, let
guarantees such as other men are
required to give be freely conceded,
and let the wage reducing habit of
limiting production and wasteful job
duplication be abandoned through a
victory of intelligence, and the unions
will not be molested.

not declare a national scrip divi-

By Ralph Courtney

fully defined, the result will be social
harmony that will render social warfare
impossible. Each department. has q
free hand in it's proper sphere and each
field Of activity is so related to the
others that social injustice cannot
arise.
Business interests, says The Three
fold State. recognize only commodities,
the Economic State being concerned
solely with the most economical pro-
duction. distribution and use of com
modities.
Human Rights
The Political State is concerned
solely with purely human rights. 1t
defines in it's legislation the relations
of individuals or groups Of individuals
to one another, having regard to those
fundamental rights which it may rccog-
nize as due to all human beings alike.
This Political State la democratically
elected, SO that all have an equal share
in defining the indispensable rights of
human beings.
In the Spiritual State, which in
cludes education and other activities
classed as spiritual, individual liberty
is safcguarded and the individual
genius freed from control.
Once this threefold division is made,
DR.. Steiner carefully proceeds to put
back in the department where it be-
longs each function Of government.
All these functions are now mixed
up and vitiated in the present unita-
rian form Of government.
The most important result Of the
separation Of economics from politics
is that several matters that are now
left to the decision of economic forces
are transferred to the political field.
In their effort to produce, distribute
and consume commodities in the most
economical manner possible it is clear
that business interests tend to trample
on human rights. If economic forces
alone are allowed to decide the value
of mans labor they may set this SO
low that a decent human life is no
longer possible.
Commodities
DR.. Steiner says: "At bottom the
modern capitalist system, within it's
own sphere, recognizes only commodi-
ties. 1t recognizes the rise and fall
in the value of commodities within the
economic system. Now, within the
capitalist system of modern times
something has become a commodity
about which the worker to-day feels
this must not be a commodity
"In the instincts, in the sub-con-
scious feeling, of the modern worker
there is repugnance to having to
sell his labor power to an employer as
one sells goods in the market. 1t is
repugnant to him that just as goods
in the market are subject to the law
of supply and demand, so his labor
power plays part in the labor market
and is valued by supply and demand
Let it be understood what a powerful

Public Golf Congestion
System of Reservations. as in Other
Cities, Suggested

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Golf has become so popular the
INKS In our parks, notably Van Cort-
landt Park, are besieged at early morn
by those who desire to drive off before
noon. This is especially true on Sun
days and holidays. There are about
5000 who have paid the annual fee of
SO for the privilege of enjoying the
sport on the cityowned links, and the
number is rapidly increasing every wear.
Golfers who register as early as G
a, m. have as a general rule to wait
until 8 or 10 a. m, and those who
register at 1880 a. m. wait until about
2 p. m. before their numerical turn is
announced.
/ am informed that in Chicago and
other cities where there are public
links different system prevails. Play
ers are permitted to make reservations
for a certain hour on a specific date
week or two in advance. If they are
not on hand at the time listed the
reservation is forfeited.
1t seems to me that the system of
registration the day you wish to play
now enforced in our parks can be i'm
proved for the benefit and convenience
Of regulars and casuals.
This suggestion is devoid of any mo-
tive of exclusiveness, favoritsm or
monopoly. If the golfers would or
ganize in the interests of the sport and
be in a position to cooperate with the
city authorities on all matters relat-
ing to additional links and the adoption
of new regulations the healthful game
of golf would soon take it's place as a
favorite recreation of the people of our
wonderful city.

The Tmeefold State 7ila',d
Hunedun Remcr All Our Industrial Troubles VIII AunoSdu
Cease if we FoHow His Directions = ~

The most interesting book Of ia
kind that has appeared for years, and
possibly for generations, has not yet
an adequate American translation. This
book makes no less prctension than
TO offer now form of social organi-
zation that will do away Immediately
with oil industrial disturbances.
No new state system of any prsc-
ticaJ Importance has appeared In the
world since the socialistic scheme of
Karl Marx. Lenins has intervened with
Bolshcvism, but Bolshevism hardly diff
fcrs from extreme Marxlsm. Anarchy
cannot be counted practical form of
social order at present.
An interesting feature Of the latest
social movement is that it needs no
revolutionary upheaval. Its reforms
can be gradually grated oa to the
existing state structure and it's various
principles slowly applied as their util-
ity Is recognized. The new movement
opposes socialistio state ownership and
obtains it's chief results by carefully
disentangling three essential depart
ments Of the national activity which
lead to social disease when they inter
mingle, assin the present form of uni
tartan state.
Europe Interested
The inventor of the latest cure for
social troubles is DR.. Rudolph Steiner,
Hungarian. His book is known in
English as The Threefold State. More
than 100000 copies have been sold In
Europe. 1t has been translated into
most European languages and large
British edition OF the work ia now
exhausted. A social movement has
started in most countries to urge that
DR., Steiner's ideas be put into prac-
tice. A large industrial company has
also been formed, with headquarters
at Dornach, near Basel, in Switzerland
to carry on industrial activities in ac-
cordance with DR.. Steiner's ideals
This company, which is known as "The
Futurum Company, Ltd" already owns
and works a number of factories. 1t
started with capital of 100000, which
it is now increasing to $1,000,oo Sub
scriptions for shares in this company
are being solicited all over the world
The Threefold State starts with the
assumption that most of society's ills
are due to excessive Capitalization
One governm entail institution attempts
to handle all departments of the coun-
try's activities. Inevitably politics gets
mixed with economies; economics in
terferes in politics. Following the path
insistently pointed out to them by
socialism, modern governments also
tend to control even education and
other spiritual activities of their
citizens.
DR.. Steiner describes the contradictory
forces that work in society They de-
mand threefold governments institu-
tion, each department of which must
work Independently of the other two.
When this threefold division is made
and the functions of each section care

The Star-Spanglcd Banner


To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: It's rather provoking to read the
letters saying that our present national
anthem is too warlike. What can be
the matter with "Bombs bursting in
air" and the other phrases to which
they object? Too stirring? Do they
move the sluggard to action? / hone
so! l am afraid our pacifists resent
them and would like some tame pussy
cat verses that would move the popula-
tion to nothing but leposc. Are VIC to
submit?

it was in action, seems to many of US a

the sort of criticism it is receiving.

threcfold state organization and proph.
estes that soon or later all states will
come to recognize the essential diff.
ferences between the functions Of the
three independent sections Of healthy
government. He devotes a chapter Of
his book to international relationships
which are also threefold Under the
threefold system it will be possible foy
differences of opinion to arise betweea
one department of a state and the
same section Of another, while the
other two may be in perfect harmony.
All the international eggs will not, so
to speak, be in the same basket. When
the economic state can no longer use
its political counterpart to impose eco.
nomic domination on another country
and when the political state no longer
feels called upon to impose its spiritual
culture on other peoples. then wars
will be less frequent. Dr.. Steiner says
any nation may take the lead in these
social reforms even though the three.
fold system is not at the same time
adopted by other countries.

the following questions, all of which
he knows the answers to:
l. What is meant by English bond

bond, Flemish bond, and garden wall
bond. In what bond are building walls
generally laid?
2. What is pyrocatechin and what is

phone? Upon an f flat clarinet?
6. How may a positive image be OBJ

one exposure?
7. When does one use brackets in

9. Who was Guido d'Arezzo, what did
he invent, and when?
10. What is a hell box? A frisket ?
What is the difference between coated

The Brave Songs of an Elder Day

Dear Pisa: Nobody can fairly quar-
rel with your expressed preference in
lyric lines; but "Just Tell Them That
You Saw Me" and the others from
which you quote were of the '9Ce-mod-
ern, spurious, sophisticated things that
were framed UP with an ear to your
laughter (and mine) no less than an
aural orifice for the blubbcrings of
those for whom ballad mongers mong.
Go back with me a fair decade to the
sincere, on-the-levcl era OF 1884'ST: {:
twas then, for one example, heard
Chauncey Olcott, all blacked up, sing
stick to Your Mother, Tom" The sec
ond half of the first stanZa, with the re-
frain, went so:
Dad bade to mo fond farewell
While standing on tho quay,
And as tho ship 1t started out
These words he said to me:
Stick TO your mother, Tom, when I arm
Don't let her worry lad don't let her
mourn.
Remember that she nursed you when I
was far away;
Stick to your mother when her hair turns
gray.
In fairness to Dad, it should be ex~
planned that he was q sailor, and not a
mere domestic slackcr.l Then there
was Tommie O'Lowrie, "Erin's own Son
and Favourite Scrio-Comique and Clog
Expert, Challenging All Would-Be and
Self-Styled Rivals" with green knick-
ers and the jowls of an overfed gorilla,
who asked for and got cheers with a
song of which this was the bIrthen:
F-o-rrrrrrrr (chord)

word in those days, and inspired their
opening song; in text the versts were,
perhaps, common; but you'll confess
that the refrain was sheer inspiration:
