The Drama Leagues Color Lin
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Eqltor OF Inc Tribune.
Sir: The exclusion of Charles S.
Gilpin from the Drama League dinner
is most distressing piece of news if
true. The race problem is difficult
enough at best, and when once we
have the happy opportunity to show
that among cultivated individuals, at
least, normal intercourse should be
possible, we find the Drama League,
which claims TO stand for progress
and artistic freedom, taking a position
which The Tribune would have ctied
out against in 1861, even if it makes
no comment in 1921. TSee another
column. Editor.] We become greatly
excited when race riots occur, and vet
here in the North we havs not intel
ligence and chivalry enough, it seems,
to show common courtesy to an in
dividual colored man distinguished as
an artist. As for the Drama League
it has sold its birthright for mess
of pottage. RUTH MANN.

A Woman's Name

The movement for the preserva-
tion of maiden names again shows
its head. The Woman Pays Club
a club of self-supporting women,
chiefly writer's, artists and actresses
lis making a to-do over the matter
of passports. 1t seems that when a
married woman wishes to obtain a
passport she must use her husbands
name, even though she may never
have used it, and may intend never
to use it on any other occasion.
Thus singer, for example, who has
made name for herself" before
her marriage and prefers to keep it
despite her marriage, is obliged to
carry two labels about with her in
her travels-one for inspectors,
banks, etc., and another for the pub.
lie and her friends.
Such regulations in some cases
are annoying, of course, but that
they exist is, on the whole, an asset
to the women who are agitating the
subject. It gives them something
besides mere impalpable custom to
put their teeth into. Except on the
unusual occasions where she may

Admirals Of Two Schools
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer notes your article
in this mornings issue "An Admiral OF
the Old SCHOOL, and heartily approves
of your sentiments. But it seems toe
bad to always have to go to Great
Britain for these fine examples when
the navy is referred to.
Can we not have another article on
"An Admiral of the New School" and
cite an American instance? Of course
I refer to the distinguished gentleman
who through prescribing pills or other
suitable treatment for "a President
qualified for The admiralty.
No doubt he did the job thoroughly
and well, like that other famous
admiral who started by polishing up
the handle OF the big front door" q

an illustration-you will note).

want a passport, there is no law or
regulation requiring woman to
change her name when she marries.
She may be, as she likes, Mrs. John
Smith or Miss Mary Jones-or, if
she prefers to be sometimes one and
sometimes the other, the law has
nothing to say to her.
1t is custom, Of course, that is
the complainants' real grievance,
and custom in this case is so in
trenched that it will be hard to get
at. In fact, one doubts whether an
organized movement can do much
to hasten change. If it comes it
will come gradually, as the indi-
vidual woman grows to feel that the
convenience Of keeping the name
she started with outweighs the con-
venience Of going by the same name
as her husband.
But discussion of the matter can
do no harm. A world in which Mary
Jones remained Mary Jones to- the
end Of her days, even though she
became the wife of John Smith and
the mother Of little Smiths, doesn't
seem inconceivable-and the sane
tity and felicity Of married life are
scarcely imperiled by such imagin-
inps.

Bettering the Cabinet

The friends of the incoming Ad-
ninistration--the real friends, and
not merely pretended ones out for
themselves-are, Of course, pleased
by the report that Herbert G. Hoover
has been asked to become Secretary
of Commerce and has the tender
under consideration.
The selection Of Mr.. Hoover for a
Cabinet place, despite his high fit
Less, of course does not in itself per-
sonally matter. 1t may be assumed
that Mr.. Hoover is not trying to
jimmy his way into the Dew Presi-
dents official family. But his selec-
tion does matter as showing the
trend and purposes Of the new Ad-
ninistration. Events and his own
merits have conspired to make him
o conspicuous representative of Ger.
tain broad, generous, intelligent
and non-partisan ideas, and Mr..
Harding will serve himself we'll by
conspicuously showing he is in prac-
tical sympathy with them.
The lack of any general burst Of
popular approval of the tentative
Cabinet list is something of which
Mr.. Harding is properly taking
note. That he is sincerely devoted to
the public interest and is anxiously,
and even prayerfully, concerned to
give the best that is in him-these
things are conceded.
But, unfortunately, a public man,
especially one called to be executive
head of this complex Republic, finds
himself beset and surrounded by an
artificial atmosphere. He inevitably
gets images of public opinion which
are refracted and distorted. A reso-
Lutte determination to look beyond
the urgings Of special pleaders is his
only protection against blundering.
But it is not enough to put Hoovers
into the Cabinet. 1t is as essential
to keep the Hertses and the
Daughertys out.

The Constant Mayor

Through his legislative agent at
Albany Mayor Hylan says, if his
administration is to be investigated,
that he prefers the probe to be by
the Governor rather than legisla-
tive committee.
Thus the Mayor indicates the con-
stancy of his nature. He still is
in unsubduable insurrection against
all, intrusion into the sacred pri-
vacies Of the City Hall. But if
there must be hateful Interrogation,
then he would have it a mild poul-
tice and not mustard plaster. He
is aware the Governor Is very busy
is so overwhelmed with business
as to lack the time to make more
than cursory examination. So the
Mayor casts himself on the bosom
of Governor Miller as a just and
impartial magistrate and beseeches
him to save him from the jaws of a
legislative committee.
The Mayor makes another ingen-
ious, if not ingenious, suggestion.
1t is that if there is an inquiry he
should be one of the investigators.
Thus he reverts to the grand idea
that was his when the Lockwood
committee began to snap at his
3 heels--the idea that investigation
n should be by the Board of Estimate,
of which the Mayor is a member.
The public is familiar with the
Western lawyer who took his witness
with him when he changed cities.
Mr.. Hylan would go step further
and take his jury along.
But in merely nominating HIM
self to investigate himself the
Mayor overlooked something. He
should have mentioned as his pref
ferences for co-investigators, let us
say, William r. Hearst and Charles
f. Murphy.

Mr.. Willard in Cincinnati

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What an excellent thing it is
that renowned pacifst and a few
veterans of the World War have
come together at last! They have been
too far apart too long.
Having served with the American
Army overseas, the writer at the start
is prejudiced in favor of the American
Legion and cannot sympathize with
much h-misunderstood Mr.. Oswald G.
Willard. We do not preface our opinion
of the Cincinnati episode by saying
"dcplorable as it is" but pass on to
the possible benefit gained by the
getting together of persons represent
ing widely different points of view,
and different deeds, regarding the late
war Possibly Mr.. Willard has at last
witnessed a little "war hysteria."
We sympathize with the desire of
the gentlemen of the American Legion
to "have it out" with Mr.. Willard 1t
was not only natural but entirely in
accordance with American tradition to
call the renowned pacifst to account
for disseminating in the wars early
days doctrines from which their
comrades in arms suffered. Local
Legion members not having as re-
sources either the printed word OF
the influence Of private fortunes pre-.
sented themselves to Mr.. Villarc
crudely. We regret the crudeness.
However, the Legion has done g
public service, and expressed the feel
ing of many persons, in challenging
Mr.. Wizards pre-war brand of patriot.

The Overweighted Tariff Bill

When the emergency tariff bill
was introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives last December it was
looked on as reasonable expedient
to temper the hardship to the farm
crs of marked decline in prices be-
tween two crop seasons. It passed
the House easily and had a generous
support from Democratic members.
Being in essence relief bill, it
didn't raise sharply the protection
and anti-protection issue between
the two parties.
Such bill, to fulfill its purpose,
should have been made as simple
as possible and passed quickly. The
House did act on it at once. But it
was held up in the Senate for nearly
three months, during which the con-
ditions it aimed at remedying have
changed to some extent. The Senate
also broadened it's scope, introducing
items which have aroused partisan
contention and given it more of the
character of an ordinary protective
tariff bill.
Latterly the impression has grown
that the Senate's attitude toward
the measure was not sincere. The
Democratic minority could have fill
bustered it to death. They allowed
q vote on it because they counted
On Presidential veto. Some Re-
publicans and some Democrats sup
ported it, apparently, merely as a
matter of tactics, believing that it
would fail. If it gets through both
houses again in the shape of con-
ference report and Mr.. Wilson re-
fuses to sign it. it will die. But
that was the fate prepared for it
when it ceased to be a purely emer-
gency relief measure, enlisting SYM
pathy on its merits as such.
The next Congress will meet in
April. One Of its first duties will
be to recast tax legislation. Tariff
duties now produce only a small
percentage of the governments
revenues, and when the pinch
of domestic price readjustments is
over Congress will have to consider
IN revising them their effect not
only on domestic production but on
the debt payments which Europe
may have to make US, over long
period in the form of imports. This
is a complex economic problem, not
to be solved offhand. In SO far as
the emergency tariff bill as handled
in the Senate intruded on the solu-
tion it unwisely ignored the linita-
tions of the short session In the
short session, as we know it, no
general legislation can be passed
which excites a stubborn minority
dissent.
