Negro Jockeys.
Once Successful on American Tracks
but Seldom Seen Now.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
negro is regarded as the best caretaker
Of horses. Prior to the war, most Of
the great establishments for the produc-
ton of fine horses were situated in the
South and the natural custodians OF the
horses of that period were slaves.
Whenever any OF them on showing
unusual skill was permitted to ride or
train horses his fidelity was never ques-
toned. OF such material was the IA
nous negro rider Abe, who rode many
winners in the South before the war.
and was the pilot of Lecomte in his
match with Lexington. The colored
jockey flourished long after the emanci-
patton proclamation. and n generation
ago Isaac Murphy. a colored rider was
In as great demand as any Of the white
boys. while Stoval. Barnes and lesser
lights could hold their own with some
Of the best white horsemen.

test on an American racecourse. Simms.

Gus for his thrift.
The colored jockey has practically
disa ppeared in the United States. Occa-
sionally some exercise lad who shows
proficiency receives chance to ride In
public, but it is a matter of comment
whenever ono of them sports silk.
Among the ranks OF the caretakcrs,
however. the colored man maintains his
position Of honor. Buck. who has the
care OF Man o. War. would not trade
his job for that of any other calling in

wherever the negro with love for

Brambles.

I am beset with brambles
That catch and prick and tear,
And troubled by the little vines
That tangle in my hair.
I wonder as I struggle on
why hilltops are so high,
Why mountains reach until they lay
Their heads against the sky. :. i.
Yet had rather rest my cheek
Against cloud, n star.
Ard stand where all the little winds
And all the trcetops arc
And I had rather tear my way
Through bush and thorn and vine
That I might call some free foothold
Upon hilltop mine,
Than stay here In the placid plain
Where lazy rivers creep
But oh, the brambles are so thick,
The wsy so long and steepi

At Belleau Woods Graves.
Christmas Wreaths for America
Unknown Soldier Dead.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t may
possibly bring comfort to some hearts
In the homeland to know that the boys
who are sleeping in Belleau Woods In
France were not forgotten In the midst
of Christmas festivities in Chateau
Thierry.
Three of the unknown heroes of the
war have been singled from their COM
rades to receive the highest honors which
the world could possibly bestow upon
them. the one under tho great Arc de
Triomphe in Paris, another in the COM
pany of England's greatest dead In
Westminster Abbey. while the third IN
enshrined forever with our own heroic
dead In beautiful Arlington at Washing
ton. These. we know, are representa-
t;ves only of their comrades who stu
sleep beneath crosses simply marked
Unknown"
The unknown American boy who lies
in such high state receiving the distin-
guished honors Of the United States
must think of these 1850 others OF his
comrades who yet remain in France
and Belgium and on lonely hillsides AMI
in deep woods. He knows that they all
were as worthy as he to receive the
honor which sorrowing motherland is
yearning to bestow.
1t was the happy thought OF friends
Of these boys who joined with The Nep
York Herald Of Paris 10 assure them
that they would not be forgotten in the
midst Of the joyous festivities of the
Christmastide but that every one should
be remembered with a wreath of holly.

Dempsey Without a Rival.

When GEORGES CARPENTER of
France. heavyweight champion OF
Europe, knocked out GEORGE Cook,
the Australian title holder. in four
rounds in London on Thursday night
the preeminent position of the United
States in the world of professional
boxing once more was emphasized
CARPENTER triumph, coming in the
wake of JACK DEMPsEY's victory over
the idol Of Paris in Jersey City last
July, places the American in posi-
tion similar to that held by the old
schooner yacht America when she
won the international cup in Eng
land many years ago. When Queen
VICTORIA asked which yacht was
leading she was told "The America
your Majesty" "And which is sec,
ond?" she continued. There is nc
second" was the reply.
With JOE BECKETT, heavyweight
champion Of England, beaten in one
round by CARPENTER; with Cook
regarded overseas as the superior OF
BECKETT, stopped by the Frenchman
in four rounds; with HARRY WILLS
the negro who has been clamoring
for chance at the title, held to a
draw by Bill TATE, none too ex'
pert boxer of WILLs's own color,
DEMPSEY stands at the pinnacle, all
alone.
Never before in the history Of the
heavyweight class was there cham.
pion whose superiority was so clearly
defined as is DEMPsEY's. The great
JOHN L. SULLIVAN had MITCHELL and
CoRBETT to contend with, and never
would meet PETER JACKSON, the
negro who by many experts is rated
as the greatest heavyweight that
ever trod ring. CoRBETr had
FrrzsIMMoNs. Ruby ROB met host
ot challengers and finally succumbed
to JEFrRIEs. The latter had to fight
SHAREEY, FITzsIMMoNs, CoRBETT and
RUHLIN, and at last JOHNSON.
The big negro was beset with chal-
lenges by LANGroRD and McVEY, and
the first named probably would have
beaten him, but he knew enough to
keep away from his fellow men of
color. Then came WILLARD. a cham
lion who did not want to fight and
who, when forced to don the gloves,
made sorry showing against MORAN
and was whipped numerically by
DEMPSEY.
DEMPSEY, the Thunderbolt, the
Tiger. the Battering Ram, wants to
fight. Like ALEXANDER Of old he
seeks new worlds to conquer. But
there :s none. AS he fingers Time
lays his heavy hand on the cham
pion, and like many another title
holder DEMPSEY will find that Time
is the king OF them all.

MISS MARY DAVIS SINGS.

Miss Mary Davis. nezzo-contralto.
who sang here last season. gave q song
recital yesterday afternoon at the
Princess Theater. Her program included
old Italian airs. with songs by Koop-
man., Debussy, Warford and Kramer.
She interpreted her program with q
voice Of good quality and some knowl-
edge OF style. The subtler qualities OF
her art were generally lacking, and this
fact brought resultant monotonous eff
fects to her delivery. She seemed to
be singer who is thoroughly in earnest.
hence further study may give her work
more vocal f1nesse. A friendly audience
heard the recital, the high lights OF
which were furnished by Coenraad Bos,
who played the accompaniments.
The New York herald., 1922-01-14

covered the entire range of social
comedy. farces. ballets and operas;
he wittily ridiculed the faults and
foibles of contemporary society and
he scathingly exposed what he be-
lieved the charlatanisms and fragrant
evils of the day.
1t is a peculiar thing that lie Mis-
aEthrope," perhaps MoLIERE's master
piece, was less successful with the
public of the day than with posterity.
1t is still a popular stage piece, so
universal is its wit and appeal.
Don Juan" and "Tartuffe" called
forth the most criticism from the
religious. But in Don Juan"
MoLIERE, in the words of present
day critic, merely displayed bold
contempt for the creed Of boiling
caldrons and of physical hell.
"Tartuffe" would to-day be consid-
cred an attack rot upon religion but
upon hypocrisy.
MoLIERE delighted in lambasting
charlatans of the medical profession.
In "L'Amour Medecin" are four doc
tors made up as court physicians.
one of whom utters the we'll known
expression, Let us work in concert
so that, while getting the credit of
the cures we effect, we may be able
to blame nature for the failure OF our
art" In lie Medecin Malgre Lui''
the fake doctor remarks, Payment
comes whether we kill or cure. Dead
men, of all people the most discreet,
tell no tales of the doctor who has
sent them to their long account"
The physicians, though, seem to have
forgotten their grievance, for the
Academy of Medicine of Paris decided
to observe the tercentenary, and one
of it's members wittily remarked that
the profession owed MoLIERE a trib.
ute of gratitude, since by inveighing
against blistering and blood letting
he provoked "the recrudescence OF
arteriosclerosis, uremia and gout,
and thus paved the way of the medi-
cal fraternity of to-day to fortune
The physicians of the Chamber of
Deputies are evidently of the same
opinion, for they offered no opposi-
tion to the vote of 100000 francs for
the celebration.
A great tribute to the endurance
of MoLIERE's work is the fact that his
plays still draw large houses and
that most of them are in the current
reportory of the Theatre Francais and
are frequently acted. This, said an
English critic recently, makes NOR
tifying to an Englishman the fact
that not a single play of SHAKE
sPEARE or SHERIDAN can be seen IN
London to-day" To France MoLIERE' S
name stands in the literature Of the
drama next to that Of SHAKESPEARE: :
to the world he is the greatest writer
of social and refined comedy. His
humor came from a sense of the
true value of life; it has the added
charm of not being limited in place
or time, but is universal and enduT-
ing through the ages.

Tom Lamont and the "Post.' -

| There was q very natural reason
for THOMAS w. LAMoNT's purchase Of
the EUening Post when it was by way
CT changing hands three years ago.
Mr.. LAMONT began his active career
as newspaper man. His first work
was on the New York Tribune. Once
a newspaper man, always a news
paper man. Tom LAMONT is no
exception.
Though he had become a big in
ternational banker the love of print
er's ink and the thrill Of the news
desk had never deserted him. He
felt that in the ownership of the
Post he would have a chance to
satisfy his longings when banking
and the strenuosity of big affairs had
ralled on him.
This is why Tom LAMONT bought
the Post. His experience has given
him deeper insight into the respon-
sibilities Of journalism. OF course
one cannot get these depth soundings
without paying the price. All knowl-
edge has its price.
Tom LAMONT has been so COM
pletely absorbed in finance and bank
ing Of national and international
scope that he has given no time to
his newspaper beyond the matter of
keeping its credit good. To be sure,
he has had some other reminders of
his ownership. The distressing fact
all the while bore in upon him that
the public held him responsible for
every utterance of the paper though
be had neither inspired it nor had
anything to do with it.
This phase Of the matter will be
easier in the aggregate to the three
dozen men and one woman who
have succeeded to the ownership of
the Post. 1t was some jolt to Ton
LAMONT when he picked up his eve
ming newspaper and found he had
said something in 1t that had never
entered his head, something that was
wholly antagonistic to his own views,
something that got him in wrong
where he wanted to be in right.
But these editorial utterances
won't be anything like the jolt to
the new owners they have been to
Tom LAMONT. Out of three dozen
owners surely there must be one
whose views will fit any utterance,
however sharp or idiosyncratic. Obvi-
ously this multiplicity ownership will
make it easy for the editorial writer's
OF the Post. They Will no longer
write in restraint. They will have
no single ownership to interpret.
Newspaper making is a thrilling
business. Navigating a newspaper
amid reefs and in rough waters is a
thrilling business. Uttering wise
announcements, molding public opin-
ion and guiding the ship Of state is
a satisfying business. But these joys
are not for the man with the check
book. They come only to the man on
the job. Bankers or other hackers
engaged in other endeavors get none
of them.
Tom LAMoNT's experience has been
that of practically all bankers and
other newspaper owners who have
intrusted their newspapers to hired
managements. Newspapers to be
successful exact the presence, the
thought, the heart, the soul Of own
ership direction, exact the presence,
the thought, the heart, the soul OF
ownership management on the job.

BY w. J. HENDERSON.

Ia Verdis "Ernani'' was the opera at tne
Metropolitan last evening. 1t was the
second performance of this work. which
was first given December 8. The cast
was that which revived the work here
carly in the season. Miss Rosa PonseliC
repeated an impersonation Of Eluira
marked by great vigor of voice and NUN
physical activity. but somewhat deficient
in the Amer graces of song demanded by
Verdi's score.
Mr.. Martinelli was once more the
Ernd'N. There was much virility in his
impersonation and he sang with energy.
Mr.. Danise us Don Carlos was without
question more completely immersed In
the spirit Of the opera than the others.
He looked the king, acted with dignity
and sang the music of his part with
admirable tone and style. Mr.. Mardones
as Don RMy Comes dc SilrG was also
excellent.
Although the opera is old fashioned
and many Of the methods employed BY
the composer have outlived their
efficacy. the score nevertheless contains
considerable fine music. Such numbers
as "Ernani involami." "Infelice' and
20 sommo Carlo" would make the for
tune of any young opera composer IN
these days. A large audience attended
and seemed we'll pleased.
