inch or the way TO the last DAY ne
remains in the Senate.
Again, poor man from Mime
sofa, Senator NELSON, who himsel:
was soldier in the civil war, has
been. is and. so long as he stays III
the Senate, will be. conspicuous
leader on the firing line against the
bonus raid on the national Treasury.
The same thing Is true Of Senator
GLASS. not a rich man; of Senator
SWANSON, not rich man; of Sen
ator KING, not rich man; of Sen
ator SHIELDS, not rich man; OF
many others. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, not rich men.
There are Senators with large for
tunes for the bonus, like CAPPER, as
there are Senators with fortunes
against the bonus, like Colt, but the
rich man count is no more note
worthy than the poor man count, the
one way or the other.
Senator LADD, who knows thie,
cannot honestly believe that full
purse or a slim purse in the pocket
Of a member of Congress has any
thing to do with his alignment fo-
or against the bonus iniquity. And
Senator LApD, who knows how the
members of the Senate stand on the
bonus, for and against, cannot hon
estly believe that influence from the
financial centers exerts any more or
any less force in stimulating bonus
opposition by roor Senators than il
exerts in controlling bonus support
by millionaire Senator'S.
What does inspire and invigorate
the splendid opposition shown in thu
Senate to the bonus raid is the high
sense of public duty and the Ameri
can SCORE for threatening bladgeons.
What, on the other hand, is respon-
sible for the main Congress support
of the bonus raid by rich members
or by poor members is greed for
votes that can be won with drafts
on the public Treasury and, AS the
rugged Senator WILLIAMS said in his
lofty speech against the bonus hunt
ers and against the bonus legisla-
tors, political cowardice.

ACTS FOR FRANCE
Grondn,oison Chosen TO Pre-
sent Sub bject to Deputies.

PARIS, June 22 (Associated Press).-
Lacour de Grandmaison has been elected
as reporter" by the Naval Commission
of the Chamber of Deputies to submit
to the commission recommendations
upon the ratification of the Washington
conference naval treaty.
M. de Grandmaison during debates In
the Chamber has expressed his disap-
proval of the limitations placed upon
French naval development by the treaty.
For this reason his election is regarded
as significant Of the present feeling of
the majority Of the commission. which
gave him one vote over Charles
Danielou, friend of former Premier
BRAND and candidate of the treaty par
tisans. The opponents of the treaty
rallied a sufficient number of members,
chiefly from the Right and Center, to
elect their candidate.

Another Million Wisely Given.

The gift of $1,000.000 by GEORGE F.
BAKER to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art is now matched in generosity
by the younger JOHN D. RocKEFEr-
LER's present of the same amount of
money to the American Museum of
Natural History. Just as Mr.. BAKER
left it to the Metropolitan to decide
what use should be made OF the
S37 800 annual income from his gift.
so Mr.. ROCKEFELLER makes the income
from his million available for any
Of the current needs of the Museum.
Beneflcences like these are in the
best and wisest spirit. When insti-
tutions receive too many gifts of, or
for the purchase Of, special collec-
tions they are likely to be burdened
by the weight of their own riches.
Money without strings on it does not
create loads but lightens them. The
American Museum of Natural His
tory has more scientific. historic
and artistic wealth in its storerooms
than it has been able to display to
the public, for it has lacked room and
administration funds.
In his annual report, published last
month. the president of the Museum.
HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN, said that
the increase in the cost of operating
the Museum was so large that an
additional general endowment fund
of $2,000,000 seemed absolutely neces-
sary. The response has been quick and
liberal. Added to the million given by
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. Jr.. are $780,
900 from GEORGE F. BAKER and
s272,000 from the estate of AMOS F.
ENo. Less than half a million is
lacking to make up the desired en-
dowment. The Museum should have
II soon. for II Is an institution which
means much and gives much to the
people of New York.

He Caught the Jack Rabbits.
Texas Tribute to the Sprlnting
Ability of a Princeton Man.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your ar
ticle Jack Rabbits of the West" re-
minds me that few years ago yourG
graduate of Princeton, with tons Of am
bition stored up in his 165 pounds
weight, was hiking through the West
looking for a Job Arriving In Texas
he met rancher and applied for JOB
on the ranch. Asked what he could do,
he replied that he had no trade, but
during his college days he was one oi
the fastest runners at Princeton and
had left record there as a 100 yard
sprinter.
The rancher laughed. but took young
Princeton out on the range and showed
him a drove of yearlings. telling Prince
ton that his job was to herd them In the
corral before night. fasten all the gaps,
and report to him.
Princeton got on the Job. A little be-
fore sundown he started on foot to herd
the drove Of yearlings, and got them
all In the corral except two which he
took for calves. He chased these for
about half an hour and finally got them
in the corral, and walking into the
rancher's Office reported that he had
herded the drove as ordered. but had
hell of a time getting the young calves
in. The rancher. surprised at hearing
about the two young calves In the drove
told Princeton he must be mistaken, but
he stuck to it, describing his chase to
get them In the corral; and the rancher'
not wanting young calves among
drove of yearlings. told Princeton to
come with him and they would see
about them.
Reaching the corral the rancher asked
Princeton TO show him the calves. and
he pointed 70 one corner OF the corral
and said. There they are" The rancher
burst out in a long laugh and said
why, they are two Texas Jack rabbits
you sure must be some runner to corral
them fellows!" JAMES G. CRAIG.

.TACNA ARBITRATION
PLAN TAKING FORM
Compromise Between Chile
and Peru Expected.

WASHINGTON, June % (Associated
Press) A compromise arbitration plan
to decide the issues of the Chilean Peru
Wan conference here appeared tonight to
be taking definite form as a result of ths
consultations Of both sides with Secre.
tary Hughes.
Both in Chilean and Peruvian circles
there were indications that q, compro.
mise formula providing for arbitration
Of the proper method to fulfill the
Tacna AFRICA article OF the Ancon treaty
was gaining such favor that It might be
possible within few days to write IL
into a concrete diplomatic proposal
The informal suggestion which has
been under advisement in the tw, dele
cations Is understood to leave II to the
arbitrator TO decide whether the Tacna-
africa plebiscite proposed in tho treaty
should be held. but so worded as to give
direct recognition to the views Of both
Chile and Peru on the subject.
To accept such formula It would be
necessary for both sides to amend in
some particulars the positions they have
taken previously during the Washington
negotiations.
It became known that in the interest
Of the settlement Chilean Amba ssador
Matthew had been empowered by his
government to accept whatever compro-
miss proposal he thought practicable.
Tomorrow Ambassador Matthew expects
to cal! again on Secretary Hughes and
II Is possible that Peruvian Ambassador
Pezet may also see the Secretary during
the day.

Men Did Not Always Shoot, Even

quent in Wyoming ffty-five years age
than readers Of the usual Western fic.
ton may suppose but 1t was quite the
usual thing for those having money OF

with firearms within easy reach. Locks

we'll remember a st. Louis man
call him Banks for short-who won at
faro and went home with a wad
Though late. he did not go to sleep for
some time. thinking over how well the
cards had run for him. By and by he
heard the sound Of the key in the door
being turned with nippers, but kept
quiet, waiting to see who 1t could be.
and at the same time intending to get
a good line on the intruder before shoot
ing Banks Immediately recognized the
intruder as Slippery Finn. not dan
gerous character but simply crooked
from his youth up. and at that time
known to be short of funds. as he had
been "staked" to supper money the
evening before.
Banks watched Finn frisking his
breeches. which were hanging on a
chair. but the roll was closer to the
owner. When Finn had finished the
clothes he sneaked over toward the bed.
whereupon the man from st. Louis
raised up and asked What are you
looking for, Finn. money or clothes?
The intruder started to run out. but on
threats to shoot went back to make the
best of it. Banks made him promise a
lot of things then told him to go out
and make sure that the key was turned
as he had found it. This was done,
Banks went to sleep. and his roll was
intact the next morning.
Nevertheless Finn received the atten-
ton of the vigilantes later on, and but

have had his checkered career cut

Louis Stern.

LOUIS STERN, who died Wednesdayin
Paris, was for many years one of the
conspicuous merchants Of New York
city who found time and strength
not only to<direct great commercial
establishment but also to contribute
to the welfare Of the community by
taking active part in public affairs.
Mr.. STERN was a man Of splendid
integrity and Of sustained industry.
His success was won by his own brains
and his own capacity for work. The
management Of a great retail business,
selling every day to thousands of GUS
toners in person or by correspon-
dence. buying every day in the far
parts of the earth, anticipating the
demand of one article, forecasting
the failure in popularity of another,
calls for gifts of the highest order.
The man who is superficial in his
thinking, dishonest in his mental
processes, lacking in courage to face
the facts and without initiation to
abandon the good of to-day for the
better of tomorrow cannot succeed
in 1t. Mr.. STrRN had the qualities
necessary to success in highly COM
petitive field and won that success.
In politics, to which he long gave
conscientious and interested after.
tion, Mr.. STERN brought broad and
sympathetic understanding based OF
his experience and observation. He
was not one of the men who believe
that political obligations can be dis
charged by proxy; he knew that the
useful citizen is the citizen who backs
his opinions with his personality.
In the upbuilding of New York, In
the creation Of agencies to care foY'
the unfortunate, to educate the ambi-
tious, to encourage the disheartened,
LOUIS STERN played worthy part.
He earned tho respect, the gratitude
of his fellows, and HIS death VII bring
sorrow to all who knew his life.

Self Confessed Tariff Ignorance.

Senator FRELINGHUYsEN of New
making the McCumber tariff duties
in the Senate Finance Committee. So
he speaks from knowledge and expert
ence when he tells how the measure
was put together. And Senator
FRELINGHuYsEN is honest enough to
declare in effect that the men who
made the schedules did not know
what they were doing. No other con-
clusion is to be drawn from his ad
mission that "the schedules were
written without adequate knowledge
of the facts"
This is exactly what the econo-
mists, business men and newspapers
ofrthe country and the clear thinkers
IN Congress itself object to about
the slipshod. bungled thing which
the Fordney-M -McCumber tariff makers
have ventured to foist upon the
country as a fitting exemplar of the
American tariff system.
Senator FRELINGHUYsEN says, how
ever, that this blunderbuss tariff
ought to be passed none the less as
the best the lawmakers could do in
their ignorance. After that, he
urges, let men who know something
about the business and economic con-
ditions of the country and of the
world get on the job at once Of try
ing to take the Ignorance and mis-
chief out OF the measure, putting in
what is reasonable and right.
But American common sense will
answer. that since a Senator who
helped to make the tariff measure
admits it is an ignorant and danger
ous botch the thing to do with it is
not to turn it loose on the country
with all it's capacity for harm but to
modify its excesses until it has been
made safe for the country.
If the other tariff makers realize,
as Senator FRELIYGHUYsEN realizes,
and they can hardly fail to see what
he both sees and acknowledges, that
they did not know what they were
doing when they patched up their
tariff monstrosity they can cut or
postpone every inordinate duty that
IS reckless experiment until they
get their tariff measure into shape
where il looks at least like some
thing sane and safe. After that the
expert work by men who do know
wnat they are about can begin to
make tariff that the public can ac-
cept and the country thrive under.
But take no perilous chances now.

A Lesson for Sharpers.

Some Delaware apples recently
shipped to New York city ranged ir
quality from bad to very bad. They
have caused a severe loss to farmers
IN that fine little agricultural State.
Unfortunately, the shippers who sem.
only good fruit suffer with the les 3
conscientious ones.
w. T. DERRIcKsoY, head Of the
Delaware Division of Markets, says
the fruit growers of the State will
lose many thousands OF dollars be-
cause of the bad name they ac-
duired, for New York is one of Della
wares most profitable fruit markets.
According to the news dispatches.
there is something like consterna-
tion among the fruit growers az
fectec. The apple market In the
State is reported to be demoralized.
Even banks are showing signs of un-
easiness, for some OF them have lent
money on this years apple crop.
The Delaware farmers who shipped
bad apples have only themselves to
blame for their loss OF trade. They
sent ungraded. specked apples. even
apples far advanced in decay. to New
York. This is not denied. They
seem to have .ought that New York
ers do not know good apples from bad
ones. or, at least, that they are an
easygoing lot OF folks, who will ac-
cot even bad apples and pay the
sf&ggering prices for them which
ty6sl apples now bring. That this is
not the fact the New York health au-
thorities have demonstrated moro
tl3an once with bad fruit OF various
Kinds, Including apples, but this
rsrms to have escaped the notice Of
these Delaware spectators.
Here is clear case in which the
reed of few has done great dam
re tc the many. The average OF
pregr.ty among Delaware farmers is
by high as 1t is among the farmers

Marbles Imperiled.

Marbles, which shares with Jack
stones and few other games of skill
the distinction of having remained
from time out of mind unspoiled by
formal regulation, is in danger. The
game is being taken out of the control
of it's natural guardians, the boys,
and is in peril from well meaning but
shortsighted enthusiasts who would
transform It from a neighborhood
sport to a national contest. Adver-
tisement and pretentious competi-
tions are likely to work its ruin.
Boydom has safeguarded marbles.
Save as parental prejudices inter-
fered in the incident Of playing for
keeps adults have been excluded
from its control. Under these cir
cumstances the traditions and rules
of the game have been safe. Its rich
vocabulary--every boy who shoots an
alley from taw knows at least little
Greek-has been handed down from
generation to generation unchanged,
explicit. terse, racy. It's rules have
been preserved in their genuineness.
It's literature has remained volun-
tary and disinterested.
To sophisticated world depending
on written memoranda to remind it
OF good and evil the game has pre-
sented an Illuminating II somewhat
humiliating example OF the power OF
tradition. From the survival in full
vigor Of it's terminology and the def
nitions OF It's practices modern man
has been able to understand how his
oncestors even before the days of
picture writing, were able through
poem sung by minstrel or tale recited
by story teller to hold fast to the
records Of HIS past. >pust as swellers
