windows are not so good as the
medieval (and they are not), it is be-
cause we cannot design as we'll as
the medieval artists could, and our
choice of colors, from much larger
palette, is not so good.
Dr. Ralph Adams Cram was once asked
to write the specifications for ma
terials for stained glass window. His
reply was that il Mr.. was to
make it (naming an American artist)
1t was not necessary to specify ma
terials, as he was perfectly capable of
making fine window out of sea shells
and old bottles.
There is plenty of work for the
stained glass artist, in this country,
and plenty of talent to produce it. but.
unless tariff protection Is given the
industry, the talent will continue to
be wasted on advertising signs, and
the country will continue TO be flooded
with the weakly colored English
windows and the stereotyped Munich
windows, and the many trained Ameri-
can workers will continue to exist on
part time employment.

Sir: c. P. Connolly explains in to-
days Tribune that J. w. G. is mistaken
in his ideas on states rights and the
Eighteenth Amendment, telling US how
legally the amendment was passed.
This correspondent does not get the
idea that J. w. c. wished to convey,
viz: That the states were foolish to
abandon the principles upon which our
government was founded and to sur
render their prohibition rights to
Congress. This error in Judgment is
one for which the country is now suf-
fering.
Mr.. Lincoln may have SAID that the
time would come whsn there would he
no more drunkards, hat he did not say
that an amendment y the Constitution
and Volstead act could do the trick.
Lucky for him he did not, for he
would have been badly mistaken if he

American Stained Glass
20 the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor or Inc tribune.
Sir: There are two parts of the in
terview with Reginald Bell quoted by
The Tribune from "The London Daily
News" which I do not believe to be
accurate. 1 know Mr.. Bell, and do not
believe that he said "the art of stained
glass making and window designing is
to-day almost exclusively British"
Also, if he said, eff anything, modern
work is better than the medieval" he
qualified it by saying mechanically"
or Gin materials" or some such words.
He knows that Germany is making
and designing more windows than
Britain, and he knows that America is
making windows that are better in
color and design than either of them
England and Germany are flooding
this country with windows, the product
of their much cheaper labor, but even
the Cathedral of ST. John the Divine
has rescinded it's bylaw which pro-
hibited the placing of any American
made window in it's building.
Neither would Mr.. Bell presume to
state that the modern glass is superior
in. color or design to the medieval.
Every amateur who writes about
stained glass states that we cannot get
the coIors in glass that the medieval
makers had. Mr.. Bell, who knows,
probably said that our materials are
better to-day, which is SO. II our

New Faces for New Stamps

1t is announced at Washington
that new issue Of postage stamps
is contemplated. Many will be glad
OF that. Even in such trifes people
crave variety.
Stamps serve their purpose.
whether ugly or beautiful. To the
phllatelist's eye some unique or ex-
cessively rare specimens that are
mere blotches are lovelier than the
Sistine Madonna. Our PostofTice De-
partment has usually gone in for
portraiture, but of late years has
discarded all likenesses except those
OF Washington and Franklin. Recent
Postmaster Generals have evidently
not been stamp collectors or thew
would have selected a little gallery
OF miniatures for the various de-
nominations. That used to be done.
and it is still pleasure to open the
pages of an old album and refresh
the gaze with, for example, the vo-
luminous vermilion whiskers of Sec

was an excellent assortment of
worthless and their color schemes
were pleasing. The modern issues
may be better examples of engrav-
ing, or they may not; they don't
give one the pictorial delight of the
oldtimers.
At present Washington and Frank
lin are chameleons, the former rang
ing from one to seven cents and the
latter from 8 cents to SIS, according
to the stamps hue. The Postofice
Department finds this arrangement
confusing and productive of under
paid postage. So we may see new
races when the next issue comes out.
There are surely score Of Ameri-
cans well to be remembered whose
presentnlents have never appeared
on postage stamps and are deserv-
ing of the honor.

Under the Veneer

The great war taught the world
that in one nation at least civiliza-
ton was something less than skin
deep. Even now, when the pinions
of peace are partially unfolded, we
discover that primitive man is walk
ing abroad and doing about as he
pleases, without the consent of any
government on earth.
A little more than hundred years
ago Alexandra Dumas found it nee
essary to go back a few centuries in
order to find the blood he required to
color his pages. We're he living to-
day newspapers would supply him
with all the material he could use.
His only difficulty would be in get
ting it through the press before the
movies" got it on the screen.
Almost every night low, rakish
craft laden with rum speed through
New York Harbor, hotly pursued by
still speedier boats swarming with
the niinions of the Volstead law.
Frequently there are fights and kill
ings, while the watchful radio sum-
mons blue-coated squadrons to res
cue the hunters from the hunted.
In widely known and excellent
New York restaurant modern Bor-
g1a sprinkles poison upon pie crust,
killing six persons and jeopardizing
the lives Of many others. And the
most vigilant search fails to reveal
either his whereabouts or his iden-
tity.
A casual passer-by stops to watch
man and woman apparently en-
gagged in tiff in sedan parked be-
side a walk. Through the glass
window comes q bullet and the by
stander falls dead.
Seldom does a night pass that
armed bandits do not walk into pub-
dc places, hold up the persons they
find there and depart with enough
loot to found a fortune. The resi-
dences of Supreme Court justice
and a former Borough President,
both situated on prominent thor
oughfare, are entered by thieves,
who take everything that can be car
ried away.
Trucks carrying the United States
mails are armor-clad, like war tanks.
and armed men sit on their driving
seats to brighten away marauding
bands of highwaymen.
Imitators of Dumas and Walter
Scott need not turn back even as far
as Captain Kidd or Jesse James to
find thrills for their pages. Those
OF them who study the chronicles of
to-day will secure more than enough
melodrama to make them famous.
provided they possess the genius and
can get their work past the censor

devotion to the moral welfare of inno-
cent youth, causes sophisticated age to
lick the anticipatory chops and is rot
without it's effect on ripe senility. By
reason Of all this wholesome agitation
the copies warily hidden by the pub
Usher as the suppressor entered his

advertised price and placed on the top
shelf of many decorous Libraries.
Thackeray's Example
Now the earmark by which objec-
tionable literature may be recognized
is not the primal facts Of life" but
the manner of their treatment. 1t was
not necessary for Thackeray to intro
duce a realistic" scene in order to
tell us what manner of woman Becky
Sharp was or what her relations with
the Marquis of Steyne. Dickens
plumbed the lowest depths of criminal
life in his presentation of Bill Skies
and Nancy and did it in distinctly good
taste. 1t was not until such genius as
theirs began to disappear from English
letters that inexcusably bad taste OBJ
tanned its vogue as cheap and nasty
substitute.
Much of the fiction Of to-day is
flooded with bad taste, which fingers
not only in the mouth but in the mind
as we'll, and is found in full flower in
nearly every novel Of the suppressed
brand. This quality is seen in much of
the fiction of the school that deems
the cigar butt on the floor of the bar
room an object worthy of special men,
ton, and we note it's presence in more
Objectionable form in the human doc
uments" that enable the weak and sim
full to lay bare their worthless lives.
Suppress bad taste and we suppress
harmful immortality at the same time,
and in fashion that will give pub
Usher and author very little oppor-
tunity to exploit their meretricious
wares. The top shelf of porcine liter
ature is a permanent institution, but
the books tagged only with the more
demoralizing quality will never be
eagerly sought after.

men promptly accepted, the railroad
executives saw fit to reject. and now
in railroad offices confidence seems
great that the strike will be won
without concession. If these hopes
are fulfilled what will be the probable
effect on the future of railway prop
erty and on the preservation of the
future railway peace? In some re-
spects there will be benefit. 1t is not
open to debate that railroad man
agements need greater liberty of ac-
ton and better discipline among
their employees. Nor will it be chal-
ienged that conspicuous failure of
the shipments strike will have some
effect in discouraging other walk
outs.
But taking things as they are in
this country, these gains imply the
assumption of grave risks. If there
is an open season for flouting the
Labor Board, if the new machinery
of Cancellation is scrapped, there is
manifest danger of future trouble.
Other organizations of labor are
more powerful than the shop crafts
and are taking note of events. It is
thus not easy to see how either the
interests of the railroads or of the
public will be served by continued
disturbance or threats of it.
Says "The Chicago Tribune" with
no small degree Of force: "The
Presidents compromise rests on a
recognition that the method of adj
ludlcation is now in evolution and
that there are claims on both sides.
AS we go along this method will be
perfected and thoroughly estab-
lished, and can be enforced strictly
for the protection of the rights Of
all concerned, including those Of the
public, which, in the long run, must
and will control"
1t may be long time before the
railroads will have an opportunity
equal to that Of the present to get on
solid ground.

Disarmament and Debts

Senator Borah, whose ears are
ever alert to hear the rumbiings of
war, demands that disarmament
must precede cancellation of the
Allied debts.
The suggestion, however it NAV
appeal to friends Of mankind, is so
loosely made that it has little prac-
teal value. The Senator. speaks as
II all Europe were boodthirstily
waiting to go to war again. He
pictures the different nations fever
lshly racing to pile up new arma-
ments against the day when they
can again begin fighting.
Yet Britain's army can scarcely
be called a menace to the peace of
the world. Her feet has been Ieveled
to the size of our own. All her in
terests are against a new war.
France has been constantly cutting
her military establishment and will
soon ratify the naval limitation
agreements. Her army is surely no
larger than is necessary to insure
respect for the Versailles Treaty.
The French, as M. BRAND pointed
out last year, are not keeping a
large army just for fun. They, no
more than ourselves, love tax paying.
Belgium is hardly seeking to pounce
upon her neighbors, and Italy has
cut her military establishment to
the limit. There remains as a
menace, aside from Germany. only
Russia, for Greece and Turkey are
inconsequential. Yet Bolshevik Rus.
STA Senator Borah has often de-
Tended. He has not advocated any
special curb on her, though her
army is the largest.
BY laundering generalities about
disarmament and linking it with
debt cancellation Senator Borah
helps in only most microscopic
way, If at all. The Hughes method
is to be preferred to the BoraF,
method. To be Of value proposals
must be definite.

"A somewhat scurvy trick was re-
Gently played by fate or chance, or
whatever it may be that rules such
things, upon the memory of a once

For Suppression Of Bad Taste By Jane, L. Ford

The age in which we live will be set
apart by future historians as one of
societies and associations, formed
either for the avowed purpose of COM
polling people to do what they have no
wish to do or preventing them from
following their own inclinations, or for
the unavowed purpose of enabling the
projectors of the enterprise to earn
salaries for little work. The word
prevention" in the title Of nearly
every one Of these organizations aptly
indicates their object, while their num-
Der and constant activity are sad re-
minders of the frailty Of human kind.
An ideal civilization is one in which
they will have ceased to exist.
Conspicuous among these societies is
one that concerns itself overmuch with
the suppression of literature that it
deems immoral and therefore unfit for
human consumption; and while I am
not disposed to doubt its good inten-
tions, this result of the energies of
this society often reminds me Of the
place Of torment toward which leads
the road thus paved.
Time was, and within my own men,
DRY, when this society did an excellent
work in the way of suppressing the
tab
obscenity were flooding the public
schools, and this fact should not be for
gotten when we comment on their pres
emit methods. But it has long been my
opinion that in seeking to raise the
tone Of adult literature of the present
day the ruling spirits of this organiza
ton are directing their energies
against what they term "imm orality"
instead Of the vulgarity which is far
more debasing, and that modern An
thony Comstock, clothed with the au-
thority of his prototype and Of like zeal
in Furnishing the sins against good
taste, could accomplish much needed
work of reform.
The Manner, Not the Theme
Among the many wise utterances
that have come down to us from the
lips OF philosophers long since forgot
ten is that of French woman who
said 81 am quite sure that nothing in
bad taste can be wholly pleasing to
the good Lord"
Guided by this enlightened sentiment
Society for the Suppression of Bad
Taste in Literature could rely on the
support of the intelligent portion of
the community to an extent that would
not be accorded to any effort whose
result is the advertising of that which
is suppressed.
The question as to what fiction is
immoral to harmful degree has never
been definitely settled, but right-mind-
ed persons are almost unanimous on
the subject of bad taste, quality far
more detrimental and very prevalent
just now. To rule out all novels deal
ing with illicit love would be to de-
prive the world of much of it's noblest
literature. Some novels are said to
leave bad taste in the mouth, and the
term aptly characterizes the sort of
book that | would gladly see suppressed
1t is not the theme that offends the
pure minded, but the manner in which
it is handled.

Little Green Bermuda Poem

(From Poetry)
GREEN water of waves
On the Bermuda beaches,
White coral roads running away,
Pink shells waiting for me to come,
shaH come some day.
How would it sound to be there alone
And hear the Atlantic Ocean
Crash on bright rocks?
This island is great rainbow
That lasts forever;
People go and come
And the waves forget them.
see the island turn and turn
A soap-bubble with rainbows drifting
down,
A rainbow ball turning :.
Always light, always glitter looking
through.
Ny poem that began with green wave
Has broken into colors.
