sudden discovery Of a formula. AS
Mr.. Root suggests, the patience and
sympathy of the President offer the
atmosphere in which it must be ap.
preached. Governor Miller has
shown an equal vision toward this
issue and an equal spirit of generous
fairness toward labor without abat-
ing one particle his belief in the fun
damental principles at stake.
Not for many years have the Re-
publicans of New York assembled in
convention under such favorable aus
pices as the present. So long as the
party can offer to the voters of the
state such a record as that which
Mr.. Root outlined and such man as
Nathan L. Miller it need not worry
about the future-save as 1t must
look forward to the day when the
nation may draft its leader for yet

Sam Adams, Insurgent

In nearly all critical periods of
history there is to be found a man
great in opposition, who through
his pugnacicus energy serves as a
spur to his more sluggish fellow
citizens. Of such stuff are the great
insurgents made, and such a one
was Samuel Adams, whose memory
is now 200 years green.
He had passion for politics. AS
leader Of revolt he stirred others
to constructive action. he was a
self-appointed keeper Of popular
liberty, who never slumbered nor
would permit his flock to rest. The
extent of his courageous effective
ness may be Judged from the fact
that when, after the Battle Of Lex
ington, the British general offered
pardon to the American rebels" ex-
ception was made of Samuel Adams.
His intense opposition to the Eng
lish, which did so much in molding
the opinion Of his community, was
later turned into opposition to the
Federalists. He was with difficulty
persuaded to support the Constitu-
tion. He became an ardent Demo-
crat, despite the fact that his cousin
John was one of the leaders of the
Federalist group. He favored the
French Revolution when nearly ali
New Englanders looked upon it with
horror. True to his type, he was at
his best when he was fighting
against the forces of conservatism.
To his passion for liberty and to
his fearlessness the United States
owes much. He was an insurgent
at heart and one Of the first true
believers in democracy that America
produced.

strictive would have used the vote

The result shows that about 5M rar

New Jersey Stands Pat

New Jersey Republicans have a
Senator whom they like and whom
they intend to keep in Office. That
in the main is the upshot of Senator
frelinghuysen's two-to-one victory
over George l.. Record in TUESDAYS
primaries.
Those who sought to find in
earlier primary results in other
states symptoms Of a country-wide
discomfort with the national Admin
istration will be hard put to account
for the emphatic Endorsement of Mr.
F'relinghuysen, one of Mr.. Hardiny's
stanchest friends, personally and
politically. The cross currents within
the party, as evidenced by the selec-
tion of a progressive" here and a
conservative" there, have been
superficially puzzling. But beneath
the surface the simple fact appears
that the Republican voters are keen
enough to pick their men without
regard to labels.
In Mr.. Frelinghuysen's case the
choice was not difficult. He is a

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague

Another Step in Evolution
In days, alas! forever fled,
When woman first was won and
wed,
She laid her lovely little head
Upon her husbands shoulder
And, with happy sigh or two.
She vowed that, as she journeyed
through
The years to follow, she would do
Exactly as he told her.
She saw, across the rainbow's
rim,
No cloud her gentle faith to dim.
She fancied that her love for him
Could never fail or falter.
She breathed that promise from
her heart,
And thus from history's distant
start
The word "obey" became a part
OF pledges at the altar.
But now she finds that married
life
Is sometimes filled with tears and
strife
And that romance is often rife
With trials and tribulations.
She deems obedience doesn't pay
And therefore, on her wedding
day,
She gives her promise to obey
With mental reservations.
And in the future we will find
That she will hardly be resigned
Her free, untrammeled soul to
bind
In such a needless tether.
Upon her neck no more she'll feel
The tyrant mans remorseless
heel,
And as for that soft promise,
she'll
Ignore it altogether.

Our Waiting Merchant Fleet

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: President Harding deserves all
the commendation given him in The
Tribune for the signal policy of his Ad-
ministration "to stand for the carrying
OF the American flag upon American ships
to every harbor of the world"
1t cannot be emphasized too strong
ly that to-day q great American mer-
chant marine actually exists in the
100000 tons Of steel shipping, part
sovernment-owned, part privately
owned, which the emergency of the
World War created. 1t is not a COM
plete, symmetrical fleet; it should con-
tain more great, fast liners of the
naval reserve and more cargo liners of
speed and capacity. But it does in
clude proportionately more new freight
tonnage than any other merchant
marine, and many, even Of the war.
built ships, are steamers of notably
high character.
The immediate problem of TO-DAY is
less one of creating an Anne rican mer-
chant marine than one. Of EMPLOYING

farms could not fully operate without
an adequate measure Of national aid

A Thirsty Constitution

The feeling so widely entertained
that the people have never had a
chance to vote directly on prohibi-
tion has found a means of express
sion in Ohio. At the November cleo
ton the men and women Of that
state are to pass on state constitu-
tional amendment, submitted by peti-
tion, to legalize the manufacture and
sale Of wines and beer. Other states
have similar plebiscites, as yet in
choate, in view. Dissatisfied groups
in massachusetts,, Illinois, Califor-
MIA, Texas, Indiana and Michigan
are looking forward to a showdown.
AS method of gauging sentiment
there is no legal obstacle in the way
of such a referendum. The petition
being in due form, the Ohio Supreme
Court has ruled that the proposed
amendment must go on the ballot.
The voters can't be prevented from
saying whether or not they want
beer and wine nor from putting
mild taste of alcohol in their consti-
tuition if they so choose. An aff.rma-
tive decision by a large majority
would have it's effect in Washington
as we'll as in Columbus.
The Ohio experiment is obnoxious
to those who would sidetrack all at
tempts to procure nationwide or
even statewide verdict on the sue
cess or partial failure of prohibition.
To others it is an interesting and
not wholly unwelcome gesture. AS
regards any actual legal effect the
Federal Supreme Court will, Of
course, have the last word. The
| Eighteenth Amendment is taller
than any amendment to the consti-
tuition of Ohio and can look right
over its head. Chief Justice Taft
and his associates will have to de-
eide whether the concurrent power
Of state to enforce the Federal
amendment can modify the national
enforcement. If the Ohioans expect
those learned expositors of constitu-
tional law to hold that it can they
are very sanguine.

Not an Inflammation %
To the Editor Of The Tr,hrna

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The report Of the Episcopal
convention at Portland, Ore, in your
issue Of September 1e attributed to an
Anglican clergyman a misleading and
mistaken reference to Christian
Science. The speaker was quoted as
saying that the growing number Of ad-
herents to Christian Science. New,
Thought and theosophy In the United
states indicates an "Indianization" Of
the religious life OF this nation.
such an assertion involves at least
Two erroneous assumptions. 1t as
aumes that there is distinctive Indian
religion and that Christian Science
Is related to it. In fact, there is no
basis for either of these assumption.
AS any public speaker ought to know
India is peculiarly land of manv
religions, and there is no relation or
connection between any Indian religion
and Christian Science. Christian
Science is purely Christian.

The Great God Propaganda

1t is very discouraging feature Of
our swift modern news service that its
value seems to diminish with it's
celerity, and sufficient allowance Is not
made for the motives and mentalities
Of its distributors.
There Is an example Of this under
tho hand now in the news from Asia
Minor. A message from a Greek paper
in Smyrna announces that five thousand
Christian women and girls have been
distributed among the Turkish SOL
diers." Attention is called to the
phrasing Of this communication. 1t is
obviously aimed to arouse racial
antagonism by an appeal to sex irnagi-
nation, and Is to be deplored The in
ference is that all these women and
girls are the victims Of fends In human
form, and thrill is supposed to 60
through tho reader as he imsgines the
scenes Of violence taking place amid
the flames Of burning city.
But there is another solution. 1t may
be too early yet to ask the Western poo
pies to give an Ottoman credit Cor any
thing at all, but there really is another
explanation.
In the first place it is entirely un-
necessary to assume that the city was
Intentionally fred. One dispatch says
the inevitable American lady saw q

can Of gasoline. The comment upon
this is that gasoline cans are used In

carry. They are made into stoves and
water coolers and filters. The baby

Forgiving the Allies Their Debts

III discussing IN London the rea-
sons why. in his view, the United
States could not forgive the Allies
their debts Representative Burton
argued that reputation would have
a disastrous effect upon the credit
Of the world.
But is there not a material differ
ence between reputation, which is
an act of breaking faith by the
debtor, and cancellation, which is an
act of generosity on the part of the
creditor? If the Allies, singly or in
common accord, should say to the
United States, eve refuse to repay
any Of the money we borrowed from
yo,," then indeed would the credit
structure of the world trembIe. But
the same would hardly be the case If
the United States should say to the
Allies: "You borrowed from us
large sums which were spent in pur-
suit of common victory. AS part
OF our share of the wars burden we
have decided to remit these sums"
We suggest that the problem is
neither so clear nor so simple as
Representative Burton believes. In
stating that the general American
sentiment is against cancellation at
the present time he correctly inter-
prets the bulk Of opinion at the mo-
ment. But The Tribune does not be-
lieye that this sentiment necessarily
represents the final or considered
view of the nation. There is abun-
dant evidence that grave doubts al
ready exist widely as to the propri-
ETY. and advisability Of insisting
upon complete payment.
There has long been a body of
thought which has claimed that COM
plete cancellation is the policy of
justice and wisdom. Others have in.
sisted that part cancellation must
prevail. But there has been so little
public discussion of these different
policies that most opinion has natu-
rally clung to its first impression
and the readiest solution.
The Tribune welcomes Mr.. Bur
tons frank discussion of the prob
lem. Only by candor and a thor
ough consideration of every angle of
the issues involved can a just deci-
sion be reached.

Cheap Labor VS.. National Unity

Give us common laborers;" Is the
demand of the lobbyists attacking
the present immigration laws. Lift
up the bars" is the argument of
others, "that We may have men for
our furnaces and mines, our roads
and railroads. Let the aliens enter
by millions"
To this they might we'll add !:
"Never mind the country's future
The fact that the melting pot is to-
day one of Americas gravest prob
lens apparently means little to
them. Give them cheap labor, and
they will be content to see great
foreign colonies formed within our
borders. Whether the immigrants
will make good citizens is ignored.
So long as they will live as Ameri-
cans would be ashamed to live and
work harder for less pay, let them
come and labor for US.
The problem, unfortunately, is
more than q question Of labor. 1t
is more, also, than a mere question
of aliens. 1t involves the nations
future as do few other things. Were
it not for the war and the new immi-
grafton restriction law which gives
time for assimilation America some
day might have had to face racial
problems and hatreds similar to
those of southeastern Europe. If
these lobbyists have their way and
the European hordes are once more
brought in by the million this may
still be the case. The nation can
afford to pay any price to avoid
such a fate.

Contraband Aliens

The news that there is an organ
lied smuggling trade, with headquar-
ters in Cuba, specializing in aliens,
liquor and narcotics will not greatly
astonish the public. 1t has long been
known that Cuba has been a favor
ite haunt of smugglers of all kinds.
Prohibition has meant fortune to
Cuban rum runners. The only new
development is the use of Cuba in
evading the immigration law. Aliens
who could not come within their
country's quota have gone to Havana
and there awaited a favorable op-
porturity to be snuggled across to
the Florida coast.
Cuba, Of course, is not bound to
control the movements of aliens
wishing to leave her shores for Amer
ca. Rather is it for the American
authorities to take the necessary
steps to prevent the arrival in this
country of smuggled aliens. If some
Of the moneys demanded to chase
violators Of the Volstead act upon
the high seas should be applied to
the restriction of those who seek to
violate the immigration law it might
not be necessary to condemn the
Cubans so harshly. There is no rea.
son why the prohibition against the
smuggling Of aliens should not be as
strongly enforced as the prohibition
against the rum runners.
