Warlike Pacihsts

The eighth anniversary of the out
break of the World War was cele-
brated in Germany by parades with
banners bearing the legend "No
More War;" But memory goes
back!
During the last week in july.
1914, Berlin saw huge pacifst dem
onstrations. Three hundred thou
sand strong, the parades bore ban
ners protesting against war. In
that fatal week these pacifsts did
gallant service to the German mill
tarists. The imperial government
pointed to them as proof of the un-
belllcose intentions of Germany.
They even succeeded in arousing the
internationally minded among the
Socialists in France to make similar
demonstrations. And yet when the
war started the paraders promptly
put on uniforms.
In theory the great majority of
people abhor war. And yet it is one
of history's strange paradoxes that
war is seldom avoided by the cries of
the antl-war party. In fact, the
pacifists nearly always manage to
play the game of the militarists.
1t the Germans who paraded are
really desirous to have no more war
they had better parade, not with
signs bearing pacifst sentiments.
but with large placards demanding
that Germany fulfill her obligations.
Instead of wasting their energies in
the cause of theoretical pacifsm they
might acknowledge that the particu-
lar cause they supported was wicked
and that damages should be re-
paired. The longest step Germany
can take toward peace is for her
people frankly to admit Germanv's
guilt and to help her pay the PEN
atty of her misdeeds. An impeni-
tent Germany is a bellicose Ger
many.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-03
Alexander Graham Bell

AS the inventor of the telephone,
Alexander Graham Bell has a place
among the worlds greatest serv-
ants. The product of his brain has
transformed business methods. 1t
has solidified social relationships.
More, perhaps, than any other
single modern achievement, it has
served to speed up life to its present
pace.
And yet this invention. which is
now an indispensable necessity, is
not yet fifty years old. 1t was in
1876 that Mr.. Bell took out his first
patent. That same year at the
Philadelphia Centennial Exposition
he first succeeded in interesting the
public. To-day the public accepts
the telephone as it does the subway
and the railroad-as a basic essen
, tial in life.
All this is due to Alexander Gra-
ham Bell. Many months of expert
menting finally showed the way to
carry a voice along a wire. 1t was
a long step from the first feeble
voice transmitter to the present de-
vice. But the essentials are the
same to-day as then, and the truly
marvellous development has not been
so much in the changes in the in
strument itself as in the effect upon
the world of its widespread use.
TO the names of Watts, Fulton,
Morse must now be added Bell. His
creation is one Of the worlds great
achievements.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-03
Dishonest Silence

In its denunciation of the legisls-
tor who sits silent while legislation
he knows to be inimical to the public
interest is being enacted the Citizens
Union calls attention to one of the
most dangerous menaces to good
government.
Many legislators believe that if
they do not actually vote for crooked
bills they are free from responsibility
for their passage. Measures which
they might defeat had they the cour-
age to stand up and speak against
them slide along on their way
through Senate or Assembly with
never a word Of protest.
The silent legislator is rewarded
for his pacifism and non-resistance
by kindly attitude on the part of
leaders toward his local measures
upon which he depends for fence
building when another campaign is
on. There is much of this-far too
much in every Legislature in the
country-a very great deal of it in
Congress.
1t occurs not so often when bills
are up that are absolutely dishonest
as in the instances of bills generally
mischievous and dangerous which
are espoused by powerful leaders.
The legislator who remembers
that he is the voice of his district in
state government and who is willine.
to speak out-however disagreeable
the duty may be-when evil bills are
sliding by is the only legislator who
deserves the votes of his constituents
when he asks for a reelection.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-03

The carefully considered note Of
the British government, issued just
as the conference between Lloyd
George and Poincare was about to
occur, dispels another illusion.
1t has been widely advertised that
Great Britain would offer to cancel
the debt of France to her and to
make over to France the percentage
coming to her under the reparation
settlement if France would convey
to Great Britain the French interest
in Germany's Class G. bonds. Then,
according to the plan, Great Britain
was to cancel the bonds, and by one
stroke France would get practically
the full amount due to her and Ger
many's reparation debt would be
halved. Loud have been the praises
of Britain's generosity in thus, in
effect, assuming large part Of the
German debt.
But Great Britain is not to do it.
She will not cancel the debts owed to
her unless there is also cancellation
of the debts owed by her. So it is
genial Uncle Sam who is to bear the
burden of letting Germany off!
We may expect the advocates Of
letting Germany off to return to
their regular job of "cussing" the
Versailles Treaty in general terms.

An "American" Novelist

The work of the late Mary N.
Murfree is to be recalled to the at
tention of those who lament what
they consider to be the lack of char
acteristic American fiction, and who
generally couple their jeremiads
with references to some Russian or
other foreign writings as the sort
of thing that ought to be produced
here.
There never was a more truly
American writer than Charles Eg-
bert Craddock, as Miss Murfree
elected to be known. Her novels are
as interpretative of American genius
and manners as, let us say, those
of Tourgenieff or Gorky are Of
Russian life. Nor were some of her
works, such as "The Prophet of the
Great Smoky Mountains" unworthy
OF high rank for their artistic skill
and dramatic power.
"" NOoADC, oHe uGdIC Win only
limited portion of American life.
But then it was one of the most
typically and exclusively American
portions. Moreover, the same criti-
cism is to be made of the national
romances of other lands. Few works
OF fiction adequately portray all the
important phases of the life of
great nation. Tolstoy's "War and
Peace" does not, nor Hugo's "Les
Miserables," nor Thackeray's CYAN
lty Fair" though each is of encyclo-
p@dic bulk. If Balzac did it he re-
qulred more than a score of sepa-
rate romances for his "Comedie
Humane"
American life is too vast, varie,,
and complex to be treated in a
single work of fiction. But such
works as those of Charles Egbert
Craddock are grateful reminder
that its various phases have been
and are being treated, one by one,
IN most worthy manner.

Have golf players and other sporty
males a monopoly of all the comforts
of life? Why have the demands of

patch of Jersey justice. Three es-
capped prisoners who had succeeded
in evading the minions of the law
on the watch for them were not so
successful in escaping the punitive
beaks of the denizens of the Jersey
swamps. Pestered beyond endur-
ance, they at last came in and gave
themselves up, preferring Jail rather
than further torment.
While this is to the credit of the
mosquito, it is doubtful whether it
ought to initiate against his con-
tinued destruction. This has been
bad mosquito year both in New York
and New Jersey, and millions of
people would rather that a few
offenders should go unwhipped of
justice than that sleep should be
banished through the remainder of

Aroostook's Ambition

More than ever impressed with
the size, quality and number of their
potatoes, the opulent farmers of
Aroostook County, Maine, are talk
ing of separate statehood for their
neck of the woods.
The best nourished citizens of
their beautiful but not bountifullv
fertile state have a fancy to do
their own legislating. They even
complain of the inconvenience of trav-
cling to the admired Bulfnch capitol
at Augusta, notwithstanding the
tact that annually, when the returns
OF the potato crop come in, they
cnoke Boston's automobile row, buy
ing high-powered motor cars. which
make fast time over such Maine
highways as are passable.
Aroostook ought to feel lucky that
she is in the Union at all. The
people over the border back in 1899
'iieu W pry her loose, and Maine
drafted 10000 men to repel the Gin
Vaslon." Congress called for $4,000
volunteers and General Winfield
Scott was unlimbering for action
when the Canadians thought better
OF the enterprise and the bloodfess
"Aroostook war" ended.
Then again, when the map was
being made over in 1919 at Ver-
sallles, a Canadian, Sir Andrew
MacPhail, made the suggestion, not
regarded as humorous in Maine, that
Article 10 of the League of Ma
tons called for readjustment Of
boundaries which would transfer

The Herrin Issue

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Herrin is more than a state
issue and has served to focus nation
wide attention to the proposition
whether or not order and justice shall
prevail in our country, SO that business
shall function and our citizens be able
to work in safety.
If the State of Illinois defaults in it's
evident duty in bringing the guilty to
the bar of justice, the government of
the United States must not also do SO.
There is no liberty in it's highest
sense while murder and oppression
flourish and accomplish and escape scot
free as at Herrin. There is no liberty
if American citizens are not free to
earn living until they have joined a
union.
This Is a government of the law, and
not of the mob, nor Of any class; and
men must be free under the protection
Of the law to work for their daily
bread.
The guaranty of the Constitution of
the right to "life" becomes meaningless
II the citizen is not free to work in
order to maintain life, and if this in
alienable right is not inscribed in the
Constitution it ought to be.
