are fatally Objectionable for a rea-
son all can understand. They are
unworthy of great people in that
they teach hate. The stanza most
offensive in this regard is now COM
monty omitted, but throughout the
others is bad spirit. The youth of
America should not be inhamed
against any people. We should not
1agrantly contradict the noble pas
sage of Washington's Farewell Adj

trymen to be enemies of none.
Though music to fine ear carries
a message, the average person with
respect to song catches only the
import Of the words. If the music
of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is
good enough to be retained, then q

what America stands for might we'll
be asked to fit it with new version.

is the optimistic opinion of the stat
lStician of one Of the big New York

furnish exact knowledge and that in
an atmosphere Of knowledge the sur

The demagogue. according to the

WGreat have beer the contributions
of statistics to the understanding of
MANY problems. But prejudice and
4efusal to accept evidence are of
hardy growth. To rid the world Of
unreason statistics must, in the first
place, be good statistics. They must
prove something. What they prove
must be worth knowing. They must
then be universally diffused, and the

Lincoln at Gettysburg
His Address Received as if a Bene-
diction

His Address Received as if Bene-
diction
10 the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir: 1t has been interesting to read
what you have had to say about ex-
Senator Cole, of California. His vieor
and memory are remarkable for one of
his age.
l cannot refrain from trying to
correct some impressions regarding
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. We
know that the President expected to
be present, as Chairman Dix of the
pennsylvania Commission invited his
presence and asked that he make
brief address. AS an evidence that II
was written before leaving Washington
refer you to the memoirs of Ward
Hill Lamon, who was United States
Marshal for the District of Columbia
His memoirs were published by his
daughter after his death. We find
therein this statement: "On the morn
ing OF the 18th called on the Presi
dent, and he took from his tall hat a
sheet of foolscap, handing it to me
with the remark: Hill, there is what 7
have written for Gettysburg to-mor-
row. 1t does not suit me, but I have
not time for anything more!' This
was the address substantially as deliv-
ered"
Senator Cole is correct in that e.
was received with silence, as an officer
OF the 9Th New York Regiment (the Dan
dy Fifth told me the address seemed
like benediction, and applause would
have been out Of place. That +ba
greatness and beauty Of the address
was at once recognized / need only
quote the letter Of the speaker
Edward Everett, who wrote Mr.. Lin
coin the next day: "Mr President Nor
nit me to congratulate you on your ad-
dress of yesterday. Would could Aat-
ter myself that I came as near to tho
central idea of the occasion in two
hours as you did in two minutes"
From time to time there has an.
peared IN the newspapers statement
that the Gettysburg Address had been
posted on the walls of, Oxford Univer.

Berlin's Municipal Farms

The Berlin municipal government
is about to surrender to private
corporation the management of its
vast system Of suburban farms and
gardens. In a city and country in
clined above most others toward
state ownership and management OF
business government dominated by
Socialists turns over to private
capitalistic control one of the
greatest municipal enterprises ever
undertaken.
The experiment, however, has
shown the economic value Of the
great group Of farms and gardens.
These were created many years ago
in connection with sewage disposal
plant. Instead of pouring the
liquid refuse into the River Spree,
the Bcrliners utilized it for ferti-
lizer. From the sanitary as we'll
as the industrial point of view the
project succeeded. The sewage was
disposed of quite inoffensively, and
the market gardens became enor-
mously productive.
The syndicate which is to take
over the management Of the gar
dens will guarantee to provide q
much larger quantity of produce
than the municipality has been able
to get, and will pay to the city for
the privilege a yearly royalty Of
about 60,000,000 marks.
1t has been demonstrated that
great city can make immeasurably
better use of it's sewage than throw
ing it away and fouling the ad-
jacent waters. 1t can have it used
for industrial purposes, and thus
facilitate the provision of a food
supply for its people and secure a
large cash revenue to boot Per-
haps some time New York will learn
the lesson. Mayor Mitchell had
plans for a plant that would have
saved millions to the people in taxes
and in lessened living costs, but
along came Mayor Hylan and killed
the undertaking..

Modesty Under Difficulties

Champion prizefghters and base
ball stars are feasted and praised
and made much Of, but these sports
are mainly left to professionals.
Presidents and bank officials, Sena-
tors and captains of industry have
no desire to figure or shine on the
diamond.
But, with few exceptions, they
yearn eagerly to play the game of
golf as we'll as the golf profess
sional plays it, and many of them
hope to do so some time before
they die.
Therefore they gather at the dock
to meet an incoming golf champion.
They journey to distant hotel to
toast him with whatever there is to
be had to fill their flagons, and
those who cannot share in the re-
ception shower him with kilograms
Of congratulation.
1t would not be surprising if
Walter Hagen, whose reception was

Dewey on his return, expanded his
chest a trif1e as he set foot on his

Spencer on the Tariff
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: was more than pleased to ses
the article from "Balzac on the Tariff
in your issue to-day. It is right IN
line, too, with what Herbert Spencer
wrote in 1884 in his "The Man Versus
the State" page 81:
at is indeed marvellous how resdiV
we let ourselves be deceived by wo'ds
and phrases which suggest one ssF"
Of the facts while leaving the o'pe
site aspect unsuggested. A good u
lustration of this is seen in the ~
Of the words protection and rf~
tectionist' by the antagonists Of III.
trade and in the tacit admission o.
its propriety by free traders. I'.
truth is that this so-called protection
always involves aggression; and %"
the name 'aggressionist' ought to
substituted for the name protection
ist.' For nothing can be more cefsa'a
than that ito maintain AS prom
B is forbidden to buy from c tof =
fined to the extent Of the duty II ..
does buy from c. then B is aggress's
upon that A may be protected nay.
'Aggressionist' is title doubly moI
applicable to the anti-free trsae''
than the euphemistic title OF pro's'
tionists'; since that one producer d"
gain ten consumers are f1eeced."

For a National Settlement

The deadlock reached almost at
once between the operators and
miners at the coal conference merely
exposes the deadlock already exist
ing before the President acted. The
operators, willing to confer by dis
tricts, had steadily refused to ac-
cept a nationwide settlement. The
miners, willing to submit to a
nationwide settlement, would not
enter district conferences.
There are indications that the
administration favors a nation
wide settlement. To President Lewis
this is doubtless gratifying, al
though the contemplated plan is
evidently wider in scope than his
conception. The intention appears
to be to appoint board which shall
include collateral as we'll as direct
Observation-Disclosures, the wholesale
coal trade, etc.
Such method of procedure does
not preclude due regard to local and
district conditions. Such differences
can be taken into account. It may
be assumed they will be. The
principle Of nationwide settlement
is obviously sound. The strike af-
fects the nation as whole, and the
nature Of the coal industry is such
that its reorganization must be
worked out on a national scale
Operators and miners are natu-
rally inclined to look upon the strike
solely from the point of view of
their immediate selfish interests.
But the government must consider
the rights Of the neglected public.
A repetition of intolerable con-
ditions must be provided against,
and a national body seems the only
sort competent for the work

ings equal to or eclipsing his fame
in their own. They were men of
affairs and men of fortune and men
of high political preferment. And
every one Of them would have been
glad to carry his clubs to his taxi
or to caddy for him on the exhibition
round he was to play the following
day.
Such attention, in lesser degree,
is accorded winning golf profess
sionals all over this land. The rea-
son for it is that golf is a game in
which men of distinction hope to
excel, though they mostly hope in
vain.
That Mr.. Hagen bore himself
with genuine modesty during this
remarkable reception is greatly to
his credit. 1t may be said Of most
of the professional golf champions
that they have behaved with equal
freedom from vanity.
Their example might we'll be fol-
lowed by certain Mr.. Dempsey
and certain Mr.. Ruth, neither Of
whom ever has been given anything
like the ovation that marked the
return of Hagen from his victory
in England.

A School Of Foreign Affairs

The second session of the Insti-
tute Of Politics will open at Will
Jamestown on July 27. Students,
professors, journalists and business
men interested in foreign affairs
will once more assemble from all
parts of the Union to learn from
Europeans and Americans we'll
versed in international questions
about the different problems now
facing the world.
Although there will be no Lord
Bryce this year as dean of lectur-
ers, there will be others whose
knowledge of their particular prob
lens is great. Paul M. Warburg
will discuss the rehabilitation of
Europe. DR.. Leo S. Rowe, head of
the Pan-American Union, will tell
Of the problems of Central Amer
lea and the Caribbean area. Dean
John H. Latane, of Johns Hopkins
University, will give a historical
survey of the diplomatic relations
Of the United States and South
America. DR.. Joseph Redlch, for
mer Minister of Finance of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, will
discuss the problems of central
Europe.
The success of the institute
last year and the large demands
for membership for the coming ses-
sion show that the interest in for
eign affairs has been growing ex-
tensively in the United States.
Heretofore there has been nothing
approaching the present undertake
ing in scope or Importance. Only
few have been able to inform
themselves. Not until the Insti
tute of Politics was started was it
possible for Americans to study for
eign affairs under men who had
given their lives to the ACQUISITION
of knowledge relating to them.
To the group who conceived the
idea of the Institute of Politics and
to Bernard M. Baruch, whose gen
erosity has made possible it's finan-
cial maintenance, much credit is
due.

Keys Bad Ballad

This years campaign for and
against "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner" has been waged with more than
usual heat.
Several factors have contributed
TO the inflammation. In the first
place, the writing folk, who for some
t'me nave shown a marked radical"
tendency, are sore with an exceeding
great soreness. They lost the war,
ana they can't forget it. They vent
their grievance promiscuously.
Then there's Russia. Think of
how our radical friends feel when
their minds dwell on what happened
when their cherished theories were
applied! They must blame some
thing, and select patriotism as
scapegoat and attack it as unutter-
ably stupid. Our poor national song
IS vicariously punished. Swelling
the chorus of disapproval are the
Tree versers, who are naturally tor
tured by the stanzas of Francis Scott
Key. So for many reasons the voice
OF condemnation is loudly raised.
The music, we are told. is noor
and unoriginal-is a steal of "To
Anacreon in Heaven" barroom
ballad composed for use at the drink
ing bouts of the Anacreontic So
clety. Not only is the tune in con-
tempt of the Volstead act, but few
can sing it, and those who rise in it's
honor look sheepish when thew trv
Not only is the music inappropyiate
and the meter clumsy and halting
but the thought is pompous and
chlldishly braggart.
But these things, many of them
true, may be passed by. It is not
wise to trace the genealogy of anv of
the national anthems. The words at
least of "The Star-Spangled Ban
