To the Editor of The Evening

Sir: There came TO my table a
copy of The Every Evening, an aft
ernoon paper. OF Wilmington, Della
ware, OF date May IS, 1922.
The article claiming most atten-
ton Is an alleged satire on Coleman
duPonts candidacy for the United
States Senate, TO succeed himself, as
a member of the greatest delibera-
tive, legislation body in the world
General dupont has honored the
State made memorable by the
matchless Honorary Thomas r.
Bayard, while a Senator from that
State.
Among them all-Hendrioks,
sherman, Conkllng, Blaine, Ed
munds, Gordon, Pugh, Beck. Car
lilse, Morgan. Reagon, Garland,
Vance. Lamar, Vest there stood Bay
ard, Of Delaware, equal TO the best.
Read OF Bayard and you think OF
Delaware. Remember Bayard and
Delaware comes to mind. Bayard
is not remembered because he was
born in Delaware, but Delaware
emblazons the pages OF history be-
cause Bayard was from Delaware.
Delaware bestowed on the United
States a benefit seldom equaled by
any, never excelled by any State, in
giving Thomas F. Bayard a seat IN
the United States Senate to use his
good brains, his loyal heart, his
warm sympathy to aid all peoples.
Never forgetting the welfare of
Delaware he was always American
/ in It's broadest, truest and most per-
feet sense.
Coleman DUPONT Is the peer OF
Bayard, and will prove his equal in
statecraft through equal years OF
service.
Unfortunately the man who emil
nently succeeds awakes envy and
makes enemies. The tallest tree in
a forest is the test-target for the best
rife shot, one TO kill which he can
not reach. except at long-range.
From the serene, sun-kissed
Southland, bordering on the Allan

tia middle west, bordering on the
Father OF Waters; from the noun

strip of empire reaching along and
bordering on the Rio Grande, men

Senator.
These are troublous times. Strong
men are trembling and do not see
the clear path TO individual and coll

before us. before the world, to be

NO DISCRIMINATION
AT HARVARD.
From the New York Tribune

al hAftt AfkDs
From the New York Tribune.
The text of the Harvard announce
ment about restricting admissions
to the university's capacity bellies
the headlines that 1t is considering
race discrimination. The sole men
ton of the Jews is a passing refer
ence, and only the supersensitive on
race questions will read into II q
threat OF discrimination.
Harvard has long had a record for
tolerance and liberality. Nowhers
have Jews received less disorimina-
tory treatment. They have distin-
guished themselves in their studies.
Ihey have led in other activities.
They have been elected to the most
exclusive social organizations. With
the exception of an insignificant per-
centage Of narrow-minded anti-Se-
mites and small group of supersen-
sitive students of Jewish origin,
there has been no question and no
talk OF the differences between Jews
and Gentiles. This is the Harvard
way.
There is no reason to believe Har-
ward will change its traditional toll
erance when deciding on the best
methods Of relieving the university's
congestion. It would be against the
spirit of Harvard spirit that has
behind 1t the tradition OF many gem
erations of iberality-to introduce
race discrimination into the admis-
sion requirements. Whatever limi-
tations are established will surely
be applied impartially. But not
even the most fervent fomenter OF
race prejudice will deny that Har-
ward may prescribe its own quail
fcations in so far as learning, char
acter and personality are concerned.
So long as these standards are ap-
piled without favor no one may
Justly protest. To protest without
reason Is a poor way TO serve aspir-
fng Jewish youth.
