Harvard's Bad Example.
 Labor Soc, Capital $6.
 By ARTHUR BRISBANE
 After two lions have been fighting and are thoroughly exhausted, and disgusted with fighting tackal might walk up and safely bite them both. That's happening in Europe. Turkey once humbly took orders from anybody west of the Balkans. Now Turkey dictates 10 Europe terms on which she will consent not to take Constantinople and divide with Russia control of the eastern entrance to the Mediterranean.
 From giving curt. imperative or- ders to Turkey, the great lions of Europe have changed to a pleading tone. They don't want to fight any more and ask Turkey please to leave Constantinople alone, taking n re- turn some other slice of Europe. 
 The answer of the Turks is active preparation for the seizing of Con- stantinople, with an intimation that our beloved American missionaries and that Christians and Armenians will be requested to get out.
 One story from Moscow says Rus sia will give moral support" to Tur- key, but no troops. The London Times believes the Bolsheviki have been sending large quantities of gold and precious stones to pay the Tur- kish army. That beats moral sup port by many miles.
 Russia, like the rest of the world, would like to get along without any more war and build up for while. But if little help would put Tur key into Constantinople. worry tie Allies and make them less casual in their treatment of Russia, that would suit the Soviet government.
 Last nights news was that eight nations in Europe were consulting about the Turkish situation. the Turks meanwhile going ahead. One little straw showing how he wind blows is supplied by Pittsburg. Charles Rowe, professional, teaches Pittsburgs Oakmont Country club to play golf. Rowe, veteran of the Canadian army, is notified by wire to hold himself In readiness for for eign services. That looks like busi- ness"
 Harvard sets a bad example, puts to candidates for admission, ques- tions that show contempt for con stitutional guarantees concerning race and religion Fortunately. what Jews want from Harvard is educa- ton. not a chance to meet sons of rich gentlemen. And Harvard hasn't power to keep education from anybody that really wants it.
 Education is in books. Any man studying at home for four years, go- ing as rapidly as his brains can go. instead of tying himself to the regulated. slower university gait will know great deal more at the end of four years than ninety-nine per cent of Harvard graduates.
 Let the young Jew not worry out Harvard, but consider the case Of Alexander. the Great. and stop wor- rying. If Philip had sent Alexander to Athens, the young man would have acquired the Athenian accent and much polish. and probably never would have been Alexander.
 His father knew enough to bring Aristotle from Athens to Macedonia. It was Aristotle's private teaching that made the real Alexander. Of universities you may say what the French say of Voyages" that they form youth. when they do not de- form"
 In New York the price of anthra- cite coal Is fixed at s13.s5, about ss more than before the war. Miners wages have increased since the war fifty cents ton. The mine owners increase is s6 ton. Would you rather be a mine worker or a mine owner. Has the mine worker or mine owner more influence with the powers that be?
 They got out an injunction tc keep the mine worker from leaving his work to get more pay. They got out an injunction to keep own CTS of mines from adding to the price of coal twelve times the amount of the increased cost of labor. This is a republic. What would they do if 1t were an autocracy?
 President Harding's veto of the bonus measure is called very cou- rageous" by newspapers that did not want any bonus.
 Politically speaking, the veto is courageous with an election so close at hand.
 The bonus ought to be paid. It has been earned. The nation that could afford ten thousand millions for foreign countries and forty thou sand millions for home profiteering and incompetency, could we'll afford justice to the soldiers. There Is no question, however. as to the Presi- dents personal sincerity and poiiti-
