pretty story of early days in LOOMS
in a recent issue, furnished by A.
C. Macpherson, a resident of that
city. Mr.. Macpherson was somewhat
off in memory or the reporter tackled
ten years to the time that Mr.. Mac
pnerson hobnobbed with James E.
Forde, Geo. H. Ellis, Frank Samson,
o. S. Stocker and G. X. Peters at
LOOMS. Otherwise the story is true to
form and interesting. A rather remark
able fact that was pointed out is. that

still in the land Of the living and en-
joying robust health.

Oninous Quiet

Perhaps the anti-noise ordinances
are being strictly enforced through
out the country. Perhaps the people
are inarticulate. At all events,
neither Henry Ford, in his Dearborn
home. nor William Randolph Hearst,
week-ending with prominent Brit
ons, has heard the call to serve the
country for which both have been so
attentively listening.
No volunteer fire department was
ever more ready for a response TO
an alarm than are Messrs. Ford and
Hearst TO spring up and answer
Here" when this call becomes
audible. Both, either by personal
word Of mouth or through intimate
and confidential friends, have made
Il known that they are ready and
waiting. Yet neither seems 10 be
wanted. Since Mr.. Hearst left for
his luncheon with Lloyd George the
Democrats Of New York have been
calmly discussing gubernatorial can
Gidacies without so much as sending
him a radio to stand by for de-
velopments.
The independent political party"
which was to spring up through the
length and breadth Of the country
and clamor "Ford for President" Is
not even in existence. Calmness pre-
walls in the land. The old political
lines are forming. The old issues
are being trotted out and busted OF
and sent to the printer for distribu-
ton. Nothing is said about Henry.
Nothing is said about Hearst.
Yet there are those in our midst
who cry out that the reason great
Americans are not elected to Office
is because they are so busy with
their private affairs that they re-
fuse TO stand for election!

The Limits OF Wisdom

Conan Doyle. having inferred the
beloved Sherlock Holmes. looks be-
yond the horizons rim and records
the doings Of the fairies. Camille
Flammarion turns his telescope
away from the stars whose dimen-
sions and orbits he formerly COM
puted and notes the movements Of
the ether-breathinc spirits. But the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
fortunately for the sanity Of the
race. remains conservative.
Before that tribunal lately came
case brought by the Baltimore Talk
ing Board Company. which protested
against the taxation Of ouija boards
as sporting goods. The ouija board,
the attorneys for the company
averred, "is a grade Of motor autom-
atism, involving considerable sub
conscious action of intelligence"
The Supreme Court thought diff
ferently. 1t declined TO place these
spirit telegraphs in any other classi-
fcation than that Of sporting goods,
and as such they will henceforth be
taxed. The decision ought to act as
a tonic to people who have been
awed BY the testimony Of men Of
prominence in other lines Of en-
deavor who are now testifying to
their conversations with the resi-
dents of another world.
Just at present the difficulties in
which this world has been plunged
will require all the intelligence that
its inhabitants can bring 70 their un-
tangling. There are, Of course, more
things in heaven and earth than we
dream Of in our philosophy, but just
now we are rather busy considering
matters we can see and understand.
1t is neither scoffing nor ignorant
cynicism 70 assert that the Supreme
Court was wise in holding that the
ouija board is merely a form Of en-
tertainment, and thus ignoring all
the claims Of It's makers TO the resi-
dence in II Of esoteric powers.

advocates argument. however. does
not incline any civilian to sympathy
with the principles which seem to
have guided the decision. He is
quoted as saying that on entering
the army a man waived his constitu-
tional rights.
Who has clothed judge advocates
with authority to suspend the Con-
stitution? Can they do what Con-
eress can't do? Can they deprive a
man Of citizenship?
Bureaucracies tend to put routine
above efficiency and 10 resent sug-
eestions as if they were criticisms.
Carried 10 is extreme. this leads 70
gag rule such as Secretary Daniels
imposed upon the navy. which gener-
ally results in a complete paralysis
Of thoughtful initiative. Many a
good subordinate in the army and
the navy has been forced into an at
titude Of indifference toward the
good Of the service.
Officers in the national army dur

Pointers can testify 70 the lack Of
receptiveness that existed not only
toward good ideas presented by sub
ordinates but even TO those suggest
ed by experienced foreign officers.

often masquerades as fearlessness
and that a chronic kicker can make
himself obnoxious to his superiors.

emphasis on character. II sought 70

Of intolerance to be deprecated but

the hysterical talk about race dis
elimination at Harvard.
Few will deny that a university
must have the right to determine its
requirements for admission. In the
case of Harvard this is true both in
law and in practice That the board
of admissions not only can but must
discriminate is obvious. So great
has become the demand to attend
universities that not only Harvard
but nearly every other institution in
the country is faced with the prob
lem Of overcrowding and naturally
turns to methods Of selection.
Scholarship alone too often has
been considered the principal test of
fitness to attend a university. The
German theory that any one who
has the knowledge is fit to teach, no
matter what his personal qualifca-
tions. has penetrated our universi-
ties and has resulted in overempha-
sizing the intellectual abilities Of
students at the expense Of character
In contrast to this theory are the

Cecil Rhodes which govern the Sc

Senator Watson's Irrelevanoe

Instead Of occupying the time OF
the Senate with interesting but ir-
relevant denunciations Of wicked
ambassadors who can't talk back,
Senator Watson might answer the
arguments which are made against
ismming the Fordney McCumber
bill through.
Senator Watson was chairman Of
the committee on resolutions Of the
last Republican National Convention
II was his duty, which he discharged
amid general applause, TO read the
platform. He will recall that con-
eerning the tariff the following dec
laration was made:
"rhe uncertain and unsettled con-
ditions of international balances and
the abnormal economic and trade
sltustion of the world and the i'm
possibility Of forecasting accurately
even the near future preclude the
formulation Of a definite program TO
meet conditions q year hence
The Republican party is thus
pledged not 10 pass a permanent
tariff act until trade and industrial
conditions throughout the world be-
come normal. The Senator will not
say they are now normal-that
wages abroad. for example. have
been stabilized. He knows well
enough TO say this would be TO make
himself ridiculous.
As a Hoosier Senator Watson is,
of course, familiar with the Indiana
doctrine which says that the true
measure for protective duties is the
difference in wage scales and that
such difference should be scientif-
ically ascertsined. And he is also
familiar with the fact that when the
pending tariff bill was prepared no
serious attempt was made 20 find out
the difference. II couldn't be done
while European wages bobbed up and
down on a sea Of paper money.
Why does the Senator abandon the
Indiana doctrine? Why does he rush
to support of series of guesses-
guesses which if too high will shelter
monopoly, and if too low will close
factories?
The Republican opinion Of the
country, as far as The Tribune is
able 70 collect it, is strongly in favor
Of respecting in letter and spirit the
platform on which President Hard
ing was elected, and is not bothering
about the utterances Of foreign am
bassadors.
New-York tribune., 1922-06-07
immigration Ebb and Flow

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring 10 your editorial en-
titled "The Balance Of immigration" !"
in which you quote Senator Colt. one
would think from his figures that there
is 4 steady flow Of emigration from
America toward southern Europe. How
ever, let me quote the figures Of the
United States census. In 1900 there
were io,2l3,si7 foreign-born in this
country; in 1910, i3,S45.5i5; in 1920,
l3.7i2,754 (this last in spite Of the
abnormsl conditions esused by the
var. Moreover. while the foreign
horn in 1910 from southern and east
ern Europe numbered 50is.5s5, in 1920
they numbered 6,363,lO7 This does
not indicate a great outflow toward
southern Europe ns general tendency.
There are three other points on
which Senator Colt is misleading
First. emigration does not in any way
check our number Of immigrants. The
emigrants leave this country when
times are bad and when times improve
they return. bringing with them
numerous relatives and friends. so
that the number Of foreign born is
often increased. in the long run. by
emigration.
Second, these emigrantt represent q
loss TO America. both in the money
that they take away and in the money
and effort spent on them for Ameri-
canization.
Third. the fact that the races from
rorthwestern Europe are neither immi-
grating nor emigrating during the
present hard times seems only 70 in
ticate their greater desirability, their
more staying qualities and greater
value 10 the community. Those who
omigrate readily are the kind who are
the FIRST 20 lose their jobs. and drift
