Inexpcrience VS.. Experience

DR.. Copeland's nomination for
Senator was obviously crumb
thrown to Messrs. Hylan and Hearst
by the Democratic convention. TIE
Health Commissioner is one of the
most presentable figures in the Hy-
Ian administration. He has taken
his post seriously. He is not an En-
right or an O'Malley. But to be first
in q Hylan administration scarcely
qualities one to be Senator of the
United States.
To be successful or useful Sen
ator requires some special bent Of
mind or some preliminary political
training in state or national affairs.
Mr.. Copeland's career has been
chiefly made in field remote from
politics. What qualification has he
to represent New York in the upper
house of Congress?
DR.. Copeland's S opponent has served
term in the Senate and several
terms in the House of Representa-
,tives. He has ample knowledge of
governmental affairs and legislation
and a wide acquaintance in all sec
tions of the state. He has repre-
sented his constituents faithfully if
not brilliantly. Was there no Demo-
crat of similar qualifications and
aptitudes available at Syracuse?
In the contest for the Senatorshir
inexperience is thus pitted against
neutrality-suspicious. against
preparedness.

New York's Oldest Bank

The recent consolidation Of the
Bank of New York and the New
York Life Insurance and Trust Com
pany unites two Of the Oldest bank
ing institutions in the country. The
Bank of New York, as a matter of
fact, is the oldest bank in the city.
having been formed the year after
the Revolution was brought to an
end.
1t was small New York in those
days. The population was estimated
at less than 25,000. Philadelphia
was still the financial and CONNER
cial center of the country. And yet
even then the growth of business in
New York was proceeding rapidly
and the merchants of the city felt
the need of a banking center of
their own, free from the handicaps
of distant Philadelphia, and able to
expedite the business of the city.
Accordingly, early in 1884 two
separate groups of New Yorkers dis
cussed projects for a bank. Back of
one was the powerful Livingston
family. 1t supported a land bank.
Alexander Hamilton, already recog-
nized as 8 man Of unusual financial
ability, opposed this group, and
finally joined with it's opponents and
himself drew up the charter of the
Bank of New York. On March Is,
1884, meeting of the stockholders
was held at the Merchants Coffee
House, at the corner of Wall and
Water streets, and the first officers
and directors were elected. Shortly
thereafter the bank opened it's doors
for business in Pearl Street, and
some years later moved to it's pres
ent site at 48 Wall Street. It's first
president was General Alexander
McDougall, and Alexander Hamilton
was one of it's first directors.
By the time Washington was in
augurated President of the United
States the Bank of New York was a
thriving institution. Few other banks
in the city have been so closely iden.
titled with the early history of the
nation.

Napoleon's doctrine is as valuable TO-
day as it was one hundred years ago,
and / discovered that Kemal is an en-
thusiastic admirer Of Napoleon's cam
paign in Italy in 1899. mention this
in order to show that Kemal is close
student of military history--as every
soldier who nspires to military warfare
must be.
Laborious and indefatigable to the
point of excess, Kemal is always at
work, and possesses wonderful grasp
Of European politics and affairs. This
is all the more remarkable as his edu-
cation was purely military one, re-
ceived at the Ecole de Guerre in Con-
stantinople He was in the Trjpoli
campaign and later served in several
theaters Of the war; his best service
was in the defense of Gallipoli, and it
was for this service that Liman Won
Sanders had him promoted to the COM
mand of an army. He was afterward
on the tottering front of Palestine,
where the Turks in the final stages
were hopelessly outnumbered. -
Kemal was inspector general of the
Turkish army in Asia Minor after the
armistice in 1918, and his patriotism
came into prominence after the occu-
patton of Constantinoplc by the Allies,
when the Nationalists ran to arms.
kemal is patriot; he is out for
liberty and dependence-Turkey for
the Turks-and he desires peace. but
an honorable peace. His terms the
interview took place before the march
to Smyrnal are the immediate evacua-
tion Of Asia Minor by the Greeks. He
says, "How can trust assurances that
the Greeks will evacuate after four
months, as was said in the Paris con-
ference last March, when, in the mid
die of the London conference last year.
during an armistice. the Greeks sud-
denly launched their offensive ?"
will you try to Persuade US that
the British government did not know
| of that offensive being prepared?" he
remarked to me. "If you can convince
me of that then can you persuade me
that the British government could not
have stopped that offensive by raising
finger?"

Settling Strikes With Ballots

In suggesting that when strike
in an essential industry lasts be-
yond specified time the issue should
be submitted to the public at a spe-
cial election, Senator Pepper ex-
presses the popular feeling that the
public has right to be heard when
its interests are as vitality affected
as in a nationwide coal or railroad
strike.
In theory such a referendum is ex-
cellent. Anything that helps mobil-
ize public opinion in such emergen-
cies is valuable. But would it be
possible in practice to make a refer
endum either effective or fair? The
chief interest of the public is that
the strike shall stop. The chief in
terest of the strikers and operators
is the terms Of settlement. How
reconcile these interests? If it were
possible to vote on the simple propo.
sition of stopping the strike forth
with clear answer could readily be
obtained. But if the vote included
such questions as the increase of
wages, the thirty-six- hour week, the
check-off and other details of vital
interest to miners and operators, it
is hard to see how the outcome
would be either decisive or fair. So
complex are the issues that they can
not be solved by mere show of
hands.
There is little to indicate that
such referendum would do more
than offer new channel for the ex-
preston of general sentiments, al
ready repeatedly emphasized in the
press. Something more specific is
needed. Few will disagree with Mr..
Peppers main thesis, that the pub
lie must have the machinery to make
itself felt in great industrial crises.
But public opinion has difficulty not
so much in expressing itself as in
transmitting it's words into effective
action. Would a referendum hasten
forceful action?

ernment of National Turkey works

Kemal Pasha speaks little unless it
is on q subject which vitality interests
him; then he is eloquent. For example,
one night when dining with me we
discussed for long time Napoleon's
campaign of Austerlitz in 1905. This
campaign provides one Of the very few
examples where Napoleon attacked the
enemy's center; his usual method was
to hold his adversafy in front with q
minimum part Of his force, while he
delivered bis principal effort against

Lo, the Non-Cit;zen

There lis much sympathy with the
plea for citizenship for American
Indians. 1t seems unjust that the
descendants of the aboriginal inhab-
ltants of the country should almost
alone of all people be singled out for
exclusion from that status. Aliens
migrate hither and are promptly re-
celved into full citizenship, while
tnose who We're born here and whose
ancestors for uncounted generations
were all born here are debarred.
The reason for this is, however,
obvious, and the remedy is in the
hands OF the appellants themselves.
Let them become citizens de focto;
then they may become citizens de
3ure. Many have done this and have
become citizens of the United States
state and national officials, members
of Congress and eligible to the Pres
idency of the United States. Ali can
do SO on the same terms.
All that is necessary is for them
to permit their race to be merged
into the composite race which we call
American, to abandon their tribal
organizations and their exclusive
reservations and become individual
members of the communities in
which they live. That may seem to
them much to do; perhaps too much.
I've can understand their reluctance
te forsake the traditions and Gus
toms of thousand years. But then
it is also 1aslGh to se admitted to the

The distinctive and useful feature G.
this "kalpak" is that it may be worn
with either uniform or plain clothes.
In appearance it closely resembles the
fur caps Of the Russians and the
Persians.
Kemal, so far as have been able to
Judge, is adored by the army and the
populace, and it is in vain that the
propaganda agents strive to represent
that there are divisions in the Kemal-
ist ranks. In Constantinople actually
30 per cent are for Kemal, and the
Turks in Anatolia support him to q

ress in New York.
Nor did authors Of more serious
mold often grace Pfaff's resort with
their presence. Emerson they all dis
liked because he had referred to their
idol, Poe, as "the jingle man." and
doubt if Bryant ever set foot in the
place. Howells, who went there once,
spoke to me of it with disapproval, and
r. H. Stoddard. did so with contempt.
This attitude on the part Of the more
conservative literary element reveals
in the Pfaff crowd a true bohemian
spirit to which their appreciation of
Poe's genius gives added testimony.
Washington Square
AS far back as the days of N. P. Will
lis Washington Square and the streets
adjacent to it were frequented by men
of art and letters, nor did it lose its
flavor until many years later. In the
University Building the art of photog-
raphy had it's birth; the same roof
sheltered Theodore Winthrop while he
was writing his once popular novel,
"Cecil Dreeme." 1t was a beautiful
structure Of gray stone whose lofty
rooms, with their deep window embra-
sures, were we'll suited to painters and
writer's. William H. HurIburt, the edi-
tor of "The New York World" and one
Of the most distinguished journalists
of his time, gave many memorable en-
tertainments to famous men and wom-
ments. I believe that the Benedict, on
the same side of the Square, was the
first apartment house built for the ex-
elusive use of men, presumably bache-
lors.
To later period belongs the house
on the western side in which dwelt,
during the early years Of "Life," it's
founder, John A. Mitchell. There, too,
lived Nathaniel Hawthornes daughter,
Rose, then; Mrs. George P. Lathrop, and
since widely known for her unselfish
and tireless work among the victims OF
cancer. 1t is sad to reflect that pro-
sessional bohemianism had its birth
within g stones throw Of this hallowed
| soil.
The young men with whom I consofted
in the sos frequented the many cheap
restaurants near the Square, and one
of the most popular of these was
Maria's, in Macdougal Street. Thither
came also certain inuuisitiye ones who
New-York tribune., 1922-10-01

that a smaller proportion Of ballots
was received by church members
than by others and that there is a
greater number Of absolute drys
among church members than among
other groups. OF these two points
there is as yet no proof.
Only fanatics are willing to
charge ''The Digest" witt, a delib-
crate conspiracy to minimize the dry
sentiment in the country. 1t is diff
fcult not to feel that the poll as
taken truly represents the sentiment
of the majority of the country.

have no validity. But the promise

Seasonal Poisons

The daily tale of poisonings with
wood alcohol in sophisticated
"hooch" now begins to be relieved
with tidings Of similar fatalities or
near-fatalities through the mistaking
of the deadly Amanita for the edible
and delicious mushroom, and also
less often--through the eating Of
thorn apples under the supposition
that they are wholesome nuts. The
last few days have seen several re-
ports of such mishaps, and many
more may be expected during the
season of wild mushrooms and Sim
son weed"
1t is unfortunate that there
should be SO close a resemblance in
appearance between edible and poi
sonous fungi and practical i'm
possibility Of extirpating the latter
circumstances which deter many
people from utilizing the abundant
supply Of appetizing and nutritious
food which at this time of year
springs overnight into view in every
old meadow and pasture; and which
also bring suffering and death to
people who lack knowledge and pre-
caution in gathering what they sup
pose to be mushrooms. Since it is
so, however, there remains nothing
to do but to repeat again and again
the warning against eating any sup
posed mushrooms unless careful
examination shows them to possess
the slight but unmistakable marks
which distinguish the edible Agari-
Gus from the deadly Amanita.
AS for the scarcely less deadly
thorn apple, stramonium, or "jim-
son weed" it is a reproach to any
community that it is permitted to
flourish, seeing the ease with which
it may be extirpated. Yet perhaps
we should not wonder at it's toler-
ance by the laity, seeing the aston
ishing ignorance Of it which seems
to prevail in professional ranks.
Only the other day, in connection
with q case Of wholesale poisoning
in the Bronx, physicians and a park
commissioner were quoted as saying
that the nuts came from the ''jin-
son tree" which had been used az
street shade tree and was still to
be found in the parks. We had
supposed that everybody with any
knowledge Of plants knew that the
thorn apple, or stramonium. was not
tree but rank weed, and that it's
commonest name was not "jinson''
but "jimson," corruption of
jamestown, from the historic Vir-
ginia town where it's poisonous quail
tiles were first observed.
Communities would do well to i'm.
| nose a penalty upon liberation OF
this noxious weed, as many have
upon poison ivy. Meanwhile the
advice of prudence to all at this
season is not to suppose that every
thing that looks like mushroom o,
everything that looks like nut is
good to eat.

After the Circus

From The Yale RevieteJ
IAN remember how the memory
Of fat-hipped women and stnne
chalky horses
And men in red and gold hung heavily
From rafters in my eyes. how other
forces
Recruited among peanuts and popned
Marched IN my middle. / remember now
A miserable sense of having worn
Too small hat, so that my dizzy brow
Reeied in the settling dust behind the
As we rolled homeward up the river
breeze,
Pursued by blasts of trumpets and the
glare
OF white lights hanging among high
trapeze
fet, for relief, have still more in mind
How a great bird I never hoped to see
With wings like winds of storm that
beat me blind
Flew up and startled both the mare
ana me.
SO great the power of it's sudden flight
The very day was altered and my brain
Burst from its bonds and followed the
sloped light
On through the naples to the bird again,
And then the look Of clowns and the
blare of brass
Was gone and something came to the
roads edge
And the breath of 1t blew petals to the
grass
And it took me in Its arms and sang q
pledge
l have not yet forgotten into me.
So much for circuses or for any event.
The coming away is the reality.
The coming to ones self is what is
meant.
