Avoidable War

Twenty-six dead, four dying Such
is the toll Of the first battle in the
mine war.
On one side fought the strike
breakers and mine guards and en-
the other the striking miners. 1t was
worse than West Virginia-recalls
the Homestead battle Of 1892.
Little good is it to say the conflict
was inevitable Better is it to take
the lesson to heart. What occurred
might have been avoided. Had the
government intervened the strike
would now be over. In the end inter
vention cannot be escaped, and until
Il is undertaken there are sure TO be
renewed acts Of violence. 1t is hard
to understand the policy Of inaction.
The question Washington faces is
whether there is to be industrial
peace or graver war. Neither side,
no matter what its spokesmen may
now say, will dare TO disregard the
findings of an impartial government
commission.

Each His Own Historian

The "unreconstructed," in session
at Richmond, declare that Abra-
ham Lincoln plotted the Civil War
and forced it on the South, and that
the youth Of the South should be 50

They follow fashion Of the times
one much in vogue in our best
circles. II is becoming more and
more the practice TO insist on
having history written 10 suit group
prejudices. Facts no longer count.
II is Of secondary concern what actu-
ally happened in the past. The busi-
ness Of a modern historian is not to
investigate or 10 weigh evidence. but
to adopt a theory Of Interpretation

College Girls Reading

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sh: In The Tribune OF June 81 are
quoted the comments Of Miss Dodd, Of
the Bookshop In Northampton, Mass,
on the best sellers" among college
girls. We, few Of the above named
college girls" do not doubt her state
ments Of what books we buy, but we do
not agree with her reasons.
At college we have TO read n great
many books in connection with our
courses In fact, there is hardly a
single course which does not entail
reading and reporting or commenting
on what we have read. This Outside
reading" Is done in our spare time, and
il takes up a good deal Of it. But be-
cause OF it we have chance to know
more books on economies, sociology, the
sciences and good literature. just as
Miss Dodd says We should.
But We do not go to the nearest book
store TO buy these books. We use our
college library and the campus book
store
The best sellers. OF which Miss Dodd
speaks. are the books read for reerea-
tion. Few Of them are kept and all Of
them are laughed over. criticized and
soon forgotten. Neither do we believe
that college girls are odd" in spend
ing their recreation on such books. II
would be inhuman for a person having
spent the greater part OF the day at
classes. in the library or in campus se-
tivities to come home 10 her room and
read Einsteins theory or some new
politicians solution for our troubles.
She. just like all other natural be-
ings, Is going TO turn for an hour or
so 20 something which is entirely
different from what she has been doing.
II might be morbid" but IT'S relaxing.
And II the girl at college Is not strong
enough TO keep morbid" books from
affecting her morally and mentally,
neither is she worthy Of college.

The Toiliag Wire

The horse still survives despite
Henry Ford. The locomotive is be-
ing steadily improved and laden
with new burdens, although the air
plane purrs overhead.
And our old dependable friend
the wire carries most Of the worlds
tidings across continents and oceans
in defiance Of the radio waves that
speed through the ether
The wire does not propose to be
torn from its daty. even though
scientists hold it is not indispen-
sable. To keep in the game and TO
justify its existence it has begun to
do double, quadruple and sextuple
duty.
Lately the engineers Of the Cen
eral Electric Company found a
means Of sending carrier currents
for four miles along wires which
were at the same time doing other
service. These currents, which in
no way affected the regular busi-
ness Of the wires. turned motors
and created power at the end Of
their journey.
Just what is the capacity Of an
electric wire has not yet been de-
termined. II has been known since
Mr.. Edison's earliest experiments
that four messages could be sent
over the same wire at the same
time. Now 1t develops that dots and
dashes. ard the human voice, and
power generating currents can all
travel the same slender road, each
preserving It's own entity and work
ing independently Of the others.
The time may come when electric
currents will have no wire 10 guide
them, but will be catapulted from
the parent dynamos TO take any
course through the air that is plot
ted for them in advance by the di-
recting apparatus.
Then ships will sail the oceans
without coal and airplanes will
navigate the air without the aid Of
gasoline.
But th.t time is still far of.
Meantime the wire, whose remote
ancestor was Benjamin Franklin's
rain-wet kite, refuses to be super

Scientific Tariff Making

Take the tarif acts OF the last
three dccades-the Mckinley act,
the Wilson-Gorman act, the DinRley
act, the Payne-Aldrich act, the I'm
derwood act-and all show the same
defect. They were the products Of
an unsound method. Their schedules
were ht-or-miss approximation,
based on incomplete and superficial
study.
The old-fashioncd American proc
ess Of rate-making is unScientifc. 1t
has become more and more unscien-
tifc as our export trade has ex-
pandcd and our protected domestic
industries have grown 70 vast pro-
portions. Mr.. Freinghuysen. who IS
a member Of the Senate Finance
Committee and has had closeup
view of the McCumber bill under
construction. frankly admits that its
preparation was haphazard and
illogical. lie offers a better method
in his amendment opening TIE way
70 what he calls scientific tariff
making"
The great stumbling block now Is
lack Of precise data on which to de-
termine fair protective differential
between foreign cost and domestic
cost. The New Jersey Senator wants
TO sec tariff commission created
ranking in dignity and power with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, with members freed from po-
litical pressure by indefinite tenure.
This commission would take the
tariff "out Of politics" 10 the extent
of presenting to Congress expert
findings on foreign and domestic
costs and supplanting the guesswork
and interested Misrepresentation
WHICH IDW Nudi dNtll lLt i4DHt tNH-
grcss committee tariff hearings.
Another objection to general re-
visions is the inhexibiity Of rates
once wrongly fixed. Mr.. Freling-
huysen would have the tariff COM
mission at work all the time detect
ing inequalities and recommending
changes in detail. The tariff would
thereby become vital, growing
structure, instead of a moribund one,
to be replaced in its entirety after
an existence Of few years.
A change from the present system
of tariff making is inevitable. The
latter is an inheritance from simpler
times and conditions, and does not
lit in with the complications Of mod
ern world trade which concern US
but were Of little concern 10 earlier
generations. Mr.. Frelinghuysen's
amendment is a welcome move to-
ward applying protection in the eff
cient and straightforward manner in
which Henry Clay and the other
champions of "the American policy"
intended to have it applied.

A Proper Answer

President Harding has told the
Filipino mission in courteous Ian
guage that he cannot think Of recon-
mending absolute, immediate and
complete independence" for the Phil
ippines. That is what the mission
asked for, acting on the theory that,
having come so far and spent so
much money out Of the Philippine
treasury, they could not becomingly
ask for less.
Filipino missions have taken on
the character Of junkets. The states
men at Manila have as eager de-
sire 10 explore the Occident as
statesmen at Washington have TO ex-
plore the Oriental the exploring,
Of course, 10 be done al govern
mental expense. A delegation came
here in the last year Of the Wilson
Administration and discovered that
remuneration Of American sovereignty
over the Philippines was about as
likely as American acceptance Of a
mandate over Armenia. Why was it
necessary 70 spend 100000 pesos on
a new mission to discover the same
thing?
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan based his
Presidential campaign on the issue
Of immediate withdrawal from the
Philippines. He argued that an "im-
perialistic" policy toward dependen-
cies would react injuriously on our
own political theories and practices.
The bogey Of Imperialism at home
was paraded. Nobody was fright
ened The "anti-imperialism" issue
scarcely lasted out the campaign.
In 1916 there was another evacua-
tion spasm. This was due to paci-
fstic panic. Fearing that we could
not defend the islands and seeking to
avoid responsibility for defending
them. the Senate passed the Clarke
amendment TO the Jones bill. We
were 20 draw out Of the archipelago
within two years, or, at most, four
years, and thank heaven for being
able to get away while the getting
away was good. The House Of Rep
resentatives recovered from this hys-
terra in time TO reject the Clarke
amendment.
Since then we have passed through
the fires Of a great war. In spite Of
pacifstic tremors we have not been
chased out Of the Philippines. Our
position there has been secured by
the four-power Pacific treaty. There
is no reason why we should with
draw either in the interest Of the
Filipinos or in our own interest.
Our mission in the archipelago IS
not completed
This Administration has the friend
licst regard for the islanders. II has
offered them a helping hand in re-
storing their finances and their ma
terial prosperity. But it is not inn
pressed by an ingenious demand for
independence with no merit what

Labor's Amendments

Of the four amendments TO the
Constitution proposed by the conven-
ZION Of the American Federation OF
labor the first says Congress shall
have authority 70 pass a national
child labor law Few will venture to
opuose this amendment openly. The
recent decision q the Supreme Court
seems 20 make it necessary.
Tho second proposed amendment
makes unconstitutional my law or
judicial decision which denies TO
mon and women the right 10 organ
i-c 70 better their conditions or TO
fargain collectively. This amend
ment is unnecessary. Congress now
has authority 10 define what is per
missible combination. Witness the
Sherman and the Clayton acts.
The third proposed amendment
provides that when the Supreme
Court .nsalida;cs law the same
shall become the law if repassed by
o. two-thirds majority Of Congress.
This amendment is fundamental
" obioctionalle-would upset the
whole theory Of our government.
The people are sovereign. The Con-
st,utico. rcYrcsenting the breath Of
their win. is not repoalable by acts
Of Conrrcss, whether passed once,
twice or a dozen times or BY two
thirds or even unanimous votes. If
the Con st.tutiou were Tcpealable by
Congress, ihcn Congress would be
supreme ard the Independent consti-
tutional authority Of the executive
and judicial departments would end.
We would have a British House Of
Commons without the check Of eX-
ccutvc responsibility as Great Brit
ain has. Congress would be every
thing.
The fourth proposed amendment
would make changes in the Constitu
ton easier As to this there are
strong arguments both ways Per-
haps the weight Of persistent opinion
is in favor Of loosening the present
procedure The states in their con-
stitutions show greater liberality
than the nation. However, the issue
is not a controversial one and deep
seated prciudices have not developed.
The recent decision Of the Su-
prcmc Court which has alarmed
trade unionists can be reversed
without troubling TO tinker with the
Constitution. The court did not base
its argument SO much on the Consti-
tuition as on the Sherman law. This
can be amended or repealed if ma
iority so wishes and instructs Con
press. The appeal Of organized
labor thus should be 10 Congress.
If there is such an appeal and
measure is pressed which more spe-
cifcally defines what can be legally
done by both employers and the en-
ploycd a larger army viii rally in its
behalf than is included in organized
labor For long it has been mani
fest that something should be done
about the Sherman law. Public
opinion is prepared for change.
