Household Engineering

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the matter Of household en-
gineering The Tribune does we'll in
the editorial Of to-day to suggest il
ns a branch Of science that should be
given more attention and n place in
school and college courses, but why
limit It's wide field to educated
women,
A home. in rs normal form, Of
father, mother and children, requires
for It's proper conduct the expert and
sympathetic cooperation Of the men,
bers Of the firm, namely, the father
and the mother as consulting engineers,
with the children respectfully admitted
as worthy associates.
The subject. which concerns every
home and every individual. has never
been outlined for study, and its un-
limited possibilities include no less
than the mental, physical and spiritual
wellbeing Of the race.
I trust The Tribune will encourage
q wide discussion Of this most perti'
nsnt subject

A Needed Lesson

In ordering the dismissal Of an
aviator who few over a Memorial
Day crowd in Washington President
Harding has done much to promote
the safety first" campaign, which
has been neglected Of late.
No man who is willing TO menace
the lives Of perhaps hundreds Of
people is ft TO be intrusted with an
airplane. On the day Of the Demp-
sey-Carpentier fight in Jersey City
three or four machines few almost
constantly over the grandstand.
Any slight accident to the steering
gear would have brought one Of
them down on the crowd with dread
ful results.
It will be necessary for years 70
come for flyers to take personal
risks. That is their own affair. But
they have no more right TO sail over
great gatherings than automobilists
have to speed through crowded
streets.
If every aviator who subjects the
crowds below him % unnecessary
peril is treated as summarily as this
particular aviator was life will be
considerably safer in America.

Mr.. Lusk is a very busy man and
quite eager to get on in the world.
His record proves that. scrupulous
as he may be about his personal ana
public conduc., he keeps an eye fixed
steadily upon the main chance.
This being the case. perhaps IL
would be just as well for him to re.
tire from the leadership Of the Re-
publicsns in the Senate and allow
some one who has more time for
public service 70 succeed him.
That would give him enlarged op-
portunity to take fees from any cli-
ents willing TO give them. Perhaps,
indeed, il would enable him TO give
up his upstate residence and come

way Of his lettering himself, even

Why Procrastinate ?

Just as the first reports come from
Washington that the White House is
uneasy about the coal strike the an
thracite operators, who have been
conferring unsuccessfully with the
miners for over ten weeks, ask the
President TO appoint a committee TO
investigate and make recommcnda-
tions for the settlement Of the strike
and the readjustment Of the indus
try.
Since the week before the strike
began The Tribune has called for the
appointment Of such a body. It has
repeatedly pointed out that settle
ment without government inter-
ference was most unlikely, and has
urged that the sooner the Admins
tration acted the better.
The experience Of the anthracite
operators and miners in conference
has shown the difficulty Of reaching
an agreement without outside aid
ard has also made it clear that much
time is sure TO be spent before COM
ing to settlement. There are facts
to be gathered, conditions to be in
vestigated and masses Of material to
ne studied. Information and recon-
mendations are needed as 10 wages,
operation costs, freight rates, the
cost and methods Of distribution,
prices, profits and all kindred ques-
tions.
Doubtless Mr.. Hoover's represen-
tatives have been assembling some
Of this material. But there is more
TO be done than the mere collecting
Of information. Such steps are but
necessary preliminaries 70 the con-
structive suggestions and recommcn-
dations which alone can put an end
to the present strike and help avoid
future strikes.
How the Administration can avoid
naming a body empowered to make
decisions and enforce them it is diff
cult to see. So far the bituminous
people have not even deigned to
meet. The anthracite operators and
miners are deadlocked. Every day
the coal famine draws nearer. Does
this promise a direct settlement
without government interference?
The time for courageous action by
the Administration was before April
It's policy Of procrastination
merely invites the sufferings that
are sure to accompany a serious coal
shortage.

The Military Alliance


There can be little doubt that the
personnel of an enormous army ex-
lists in Russia To Tro.zky himself
is attributed the estimate that there
are 100000 available men. OF
these mary have had training either
under the old regime or the Bolshe-
visits. The organization into regi-
ments and brigades is generally ur-
derstood to be perfected, so that In
case Of need a large army can be
raised with even less difficulty and
possessing better training than was
the case with our World War forces.
Such a large body Of men, Of
course, cannot be used at present.
The collapse Of the railroads. to-day
able TO transport only about z per
cent Of the normal traffic, is enough
TO seriously cripple any army move
ments. But the railways will not al
ways remain in their present condl-
ton.
There remains the question Of
munitions. On this subject Cen
eral de Lacroix, Of the French
army, contributes some interesting
information in "Le Temps" Of Paris.
Although during the first years Of
the revolution. thanks to the mo-
mentum Of the war. the Russian
munitions factories continuedtoturn
out munitions in large quantities,
their production diminished as the
breakdown of the economic life un-
der the Bolsheviks cut down the
supplies of raw materials and coal.
OF the forty factories Of artillery
the few which now operate for the
most part handle repair work. The
Soviets have in the mean time de-
pended upon Germany 10 supply
them with most of their big guns,
seroplanes, explosives and other war
material. In fact, according to Gen.
eral de Lacroix, it is understood that
2 goodly portion Of the war supplies
supposed TO have been destroyed by
Germany after the armistice were
sent into Russia.
The immediate power OF the Rus
sian army, however, owing pr-
marily to the state Of the railroads
is limited. But II is hard 70 escape
the conclusion Of General de La
croix that "in the hands Of Ger
many. whose economic power Is in
tact. it constitutes an instrument OF
war which is doubtless imperfect
but the value Of which cannot be
denied"
A military alliance between Ger
many and Russia is not 10 be nade
light of merely because neither
power is at present strong enough to
wage a successful war. Each year
will make the combination a greater
menace to the peace Of the world.

Mr.. Bryan as a Symptom

In an article entitled "The Ameri-
can Intellectual Frontier (what-
ever that may be- John Dewey holds
UP Mr.. Bryan as a symptom Of the
intellectual repression which he
considers is sweeping over this
country. He thinks Mr.. Bryan
represents the intellectual norm-lt
might almost be called the popular
ideal of "culture"-which afliets
these United States.
1t appears that the Middle West
must take the blame for this disease,
lust as it has had to accept respon-
sibility for other evils which the
self-styled intelligentsia have found
in this country. The Middle West is
altogether too respectable. 1t is the
home, par excellence, Of the mid
die class" which, lest some Of US
be tempted to inquire who composes
it. Mr.. Dewey assures US consists OF
the churchgoers. The Middle West,
il appears. has transmitted the intel
lectual limitations of the frontier
into those Of evangelicalism and has
added thereto the prejudices Of a d.
luted puritanism.
Mr.. Bryan is presented as the
personihcation Of the worst Of all
these qualities, the carrying out OF
the unexpressed sentiments OF the
people Of the great Middle West.
His voice and ways Of thought con-
form to theirs. His opposition TO
evolution is thus deemed natural.
That Mr.. Bryan combines many
Of the worst as we'll as the best quail
tiles Of the men and women OF his
time cannot be gainsaid. But he is a
survival rather than a conten,-
porary. His ideas are not those OF
the fathers and mothers Of to-day
but rather of the grandfathers and
rrandmothers. He is still in the
horse-and-buggy stage OF So
oiety. The evangelicalism which he
breaches appeals to the older gene
ration rather than to the younger.
That there is still the inertia OF

Pinchot, Newberry, F ord
Notes for Political Students on Sena.
tonaI Primary Campaigns

tOrldl TlmdTy kdmpdlkno
To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir; Phiness T. Bsrnum not only
coined a phrase 70 excite the risibili-
ties when he said that the American
people like TO be humbugged. but he
stated a fact. Please bear in mind that
do not attempt 20 catalogue persons.
What I here set down is for the con.
temptation Of students Of political
history.
Clifford Pinehot. the nominee Of the
Pennsylvania Republicans for the
Governorship, has just fled his
schedule Of expenditures for his
primary campaign. He spent about
$50. 900 Of his own money and relatives
and friends helped TO roll up a fund in
his behalf Of about $4,000 more. The
money seems 10 have been honestly
expended under tho law. There is no
scandal about Il.
Truman II. Newberry, of Michigan
was elected United States Senator back
in 1915. He was busy in Manhattan as
an officer OF the United States Navy
during the entire primary campaign
His relatives and friends raised a cam
paien fund OF about $4,000 His op.
ponen, was Henry Ford. drafted by
President Wilson to run for the Senate
on the Democratic ticket. Henry Ford
was at the height Of his career as a
father bountiful. His press agents and
employees spread abroad tho informa-
ton that while Mr.. Ford stood 70 make
s2s 900 900 on war contracts he would
turn back 10 the government every
cent Of profits on such contracts
Every Ford agency In the State Of
Michigan was converted into q cam
psign headquarters. Detroit practically
went on a holiday on primary election
day. IL seemed as IL every one was
for Henry. No sooner was the vote
announced than Mr.. Ford began a sys'
tematic campaign Of vilifeation against
his successful rival. The Wilson news
papers from one end Of the country "a
the other took up the cry and demanded
the resignation Of Newberry or his ex-
pulsion from the Senate.
A patient investigation Of the elee'
tion showed that no money had been
corruptly spent in behalf Of Mr.
Newberry. OF the si95,ooo used in his
campaign sI47,soO was spent for news
paper display advertising, strictly ac-
cording 10 law. This was 20 counter
balance to some extent the immense
personal popularity and prestige Of the
Flivver King.
The Pinchot campaign was a pink tea
in comparison with the Newberry-Ford
contest.
A week or two ago IN Washington
Henry Ford's secretary officially denied
the etory originally put out by Henry
Ford's biogrspher that the automaker
had returned s2s,oO0,ooO war contract
profits TO the government. He said that
Mr.. Ford never had authorized any
such statement. Please bear in mind
that this was one Of the big cards
used in the Newberry-Ford primary
battle-thst Ford was giving back or
would give back 10 Uncle Sam every
cent Of profit on war contracts.
Now that treason has resumed her
throne" three points stand out as plain
as fire on a hill;
!. Pinchot spent a reasonable amount
Of money 10 nominate himself.
?. Newberry Is a gentleman and a
patriot, as Roosevelt and Taft said he
was.
