Snow Hills Quarter Century

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The approach Of the commence
ment season, with its centering of in
terest on the students in our North
ern schools, comes at a time when the
colored schools of the South. with their
shorter terms, have closed and are
taking stock of the years work.
Among these schools is Snow Hill
Normal and Industrial Institute, of In
stitute, Ala, founded twenty-five years
ago by William j. Edwards upon his
graduation from Tuskegee. During the
quarter century he has built up a
school serving one of the most back
ward districts Of the black belt and
has developed an interest in his work
which he has been able to maintain
remarkably we'll despite the general
business depression Of the last two
years. With student enrolment of

"Hoch der Hylan!"

Mr.. Hylan is not vocalist, SO it
could not have been out of compl-
ment to his artistry that he was
hailed as "our next President" by
an audience Of 1000 at the twenty
fifth National Saengerfest of the
Northeastern Seengerbund of Amer
lea.
His popularity with this body,
which was noisily manifest, must
be due to some other cause. Pos
sibly it was because he SO roundlv
lectured Marshal Foch on the dis
position of the French to collect
the German debt by force, if nee
essary. Possibly it was because of
his personal and political friend
ship with the editor who is so high
ly esteemed by the hyphenates for
whom he did so much in the war.
At all events, as soon as the
Mayor appeared bedlam was let
, loose and the cries Of "our next
President" broke out on all sides.
"This"-we quote from "The
Times brought broad smile to
Mr.. Hylan's face, and hundreds who
heard broke into renewed noise as
the Mayor sat down with a wave of
his hand in the direction of the
nominator."
What is surprising to the STU
dent Of national and international
politics in this incident is not that
the aengerbunders hailed Mr..
Hylan as their next President. For
Hindenburg is triumphantly tour
ing the scenes of his Russian bat
ties, with thousands cheering for
the restoration of the monarchy in
his wake. The German-Americans
in that New York audience must
have been astonished at their own
moderation in not hailing Mr..
Hylan as "our next Kaiser!"

Transcending Science

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In letter in your columns on
May 25 Hudson Maxim asks for "suf-
ne that we have an immortal
soul that will survive DEATH"
To demand scientific evidence is odd.
since science deals only with finite,
prove the infinite by the finite? Re-
ligion cannot be demonstrated by
mathematics, any more than a syllo-
glsm by synthetic chemistry. The
faith Of John Huss could not have been
explained by scientific principles. The
Infinite is not limited to the finite.

Unneeded Alcohol

not only expensive but futile. 1t can
be employed for suburban traffic or
over selected routes, yet whenever
there has been an opportunity city
busses have been scattered about to
oblige speculative contractors.
All that Mr.. Hylan has done with
his busses thus far is to block traffic
and delay the work on the commits
sion's intelligent and practical plan
for traction betterment.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Daylight saving is no doubt
very nice for the city dweller, but the
farmers view is something else again.
On behalf Of my fellow sufferers up

with due apologies to Kipling):
Ship me somewhere east OF Suez whera

The Lincoln Memorial

On the majestic Lincoln memorial
to be dedicated to-day at Washing
ton are three craven inscriptions,
each carrying a special message for
the instruction of the ages.
They are the Gettysburg address,
the second inaugural and the follow
ing, chseled into the wall behind
and above the statue of Lincoln:
IN THIS TEMPLE
AS IN THE HEARTS OF THE
PEOPLE
FOR WHOM HE SAVED THE
UNION
THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM
LINCOLN
is ENSHRINED FOREVER
1t is with pride that The Tribune
IS able to say that the text of this
simple and reverent statement was
written by distinguished member
Of its staff, Mr.. Royal Cortissoz.
Without an adjective, ending each
Of the first four lines with the solid
impact Of a noun, Mr.. Cortissoz has
nevertheless succeeded in suggesting
Lincoln the man. The benison is as
gentle as it is manly. Before US
rises the image Of one we love, the
human and tender Lincoln, who did
great'things but in his soul was even
greater than his work.
While he spoke at Gettysburg
many talked Of emancipation and
all of saving the Union. But Lin
coin associated our civil struggle
, With even 9 larger issue. He linked
1t with the worldwide question Of
whether popular government should
anywhere endure, The new repub-
les They are our children. with
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln
their godfathers'
The second Inaugural revealed an
even serener spirit and attained a
loftier height. 1t pointed the way
not only to enduring domestic peace
for ourselves but fer all men. For
the first time in human history. as
the end Of great conflict ap-
preached there was lighted the torch
ot magnanimity. To the victors it
SAID: TO your knees To the de-
feated: Raise your heads."
To these it is fit there is added. as
lne inscription does, the thought that
this wondrous, moral personality.
which showed the greatness of real
goodness and the goodness of real
greatness, was no distant cloud
deity, bat fellow creature to be
\ taken into hearts and there to abide
with US as friend and brother.
The tragic splend0r of Linco!n's
death was acceptable for time as
a reason for the emotion his mem
ory aroused. But instead of fading
ms memory grows with the passing
years, and the world has taken him
10 It's bosom. Lloyd George did not
overstate when he said at Westnin-
ster; In his life Lincoln Was a
great American. He is an Amer
lean no longer. He is one Of those
giant figures, of whom there are few
IN history, who lose their nation
ality in their death"

"CRAB LINES,

The annual appearance of the
Lucky Bag" published by the
Midshipmen, and the "Rat-Tat,
the St. Johns yearbook, always
is awaited with great pleasure
not only by the students of the
two schools but also by their
many friends as well. For many
years these two publications have
held the spotlight of local inter
est because they aptly chronicle
III terse and attractive style the
high-lights of school life during
the year.
This year, however, a new star
appears i'll the local yearbook
armament to claim its share OF
merited attention. The new
annual" which is the work of
the Annapolis High School
seniors, has just come from the
press, and, despite the fact that it
is the first yearbook ever gotten
out by students of the local high
school, it compares very favorab-
ly both in general style and in
the selection of subject matter
with the ycar-books of many of
the colleges.
Grab Lines" is the name of
the High Schools new book, and
from covcr-page to the last page
in the book, it is a highly inter
esting portrayal of school life at
Annapolis High. The art work
in the annual" is excellent, the
half-tones are splendidlv repro
duced and the reading matter is
of the kind to attract and hold
the eager attention of all those
who start to pore through its
pages.
AS a testimonial of the affec-
tion and high esteem in which
the schools principal, Miss
Louise w. Linthicum, is held by
the students, they have dedicated
the book to her-"our adviser,
principal and friend" The dedi-
catory remarks devoted to Miss
.linthicum are indeed an appro-
pirate expression of the students
appreciation of her sympathetic
and wise guidance during their
high school careers and a most
fitting compliment to her ability.
The 1922 issue of Grab Lines"
paves the way for other and even
more pretentious books of the
same name to follow in the future
-year-books that will be splen-
did commentary of high school
life and which will be preserved
and re-read in later days with in
terest rcdoubled and with youth
full fires rckindled. We welcome
Grab Lines" to our midst and
bespeak for future issues an
equally appreciative greeting by
the public.

: A 100 PER CENT. AMERICAN

1t is highly gratifying to have
an unofficial representative OF
former Vice President Thomas
Marshalls type in Europe jus,
ut present. lie shows UP adj
Vantageously in contrast with
some of this country's official
representatives over there. His
happy knack of talking plain
American common sense in a
good-humored way long ago
won for him the admiration of
his colleagues in public life, ir-
respective of party.
In a speech delivered at the
luncheon of the English Speak
ing Union i'll London recently,
MIR. Marshall condensed into one
sentence of twenty eight words
the whole story of why this
country is adhering to Woodrow
Wilson'S attitude OF refusing to
recognize Russia.
They (the conscientious Am
erican people, feel" said Mr..
Marshall, 1T would be wrong for
our government to have anv-
thing TO do with government
which has dethroned God, de-
