King AIfonso's Turf Prize.

In these days OF great turf prizes
the palm goes TO Spain, where the
Grand Prize Of King Alfonso Kill,
carrying an added value Of 100000,
was recently decided at the fashion
able San Sebastian course.
It was considered OF good augury
that the race should be won by
Ruban, a three-year-old from the
royal stables, and the management
announced at dinner given by King
ALFONSO TO celebrate the victory OF
his colt that the value OF the race
for 1929 would be 100000. There
were sixteen competitors in the initial
running and the field included the
English horse Franklin and several
Spa nish and French cracks. The
American jockey LUcIEN LYME, who
has worn the colors of ALFONSO XIII.
for several years, was in the saddle
OF Ruban. which is by Philippe II. out
If Reyna by the we'll known English
slayer Winkield's Pride.
II Is the hope Of the San Sebastian
mana cement that the increased value
,f the race will attract entries from
this country as we'll as Great Britain
and the Continent. An American
competitor to have any chance Of
success would have TO be sent to
Spain the autumn before the running
OF the race in order to become thor
oughly acclimated.
The Grand Prize of King Alfonso
XIII. carried an award OF $4,000 TO
the breeder of the winner II foaled in
Spain. AS Ruban was born in France
this sum reverts to the treasury.
Evidently ALFONSO XIII. is on the

The Bankers of America.

Until now there has been nothing
in this city and nothing in this coun-
try like the convention Of the bank
ers OF America meeting here to-day.
Measured by years the 1000 dele
gates from the $4,000 member banks
of the American Bankers Association
will range from the youngest finan-
cial figure OF the East, West, North
or South to the revered and honored
JOHN A. STEWART, chairman of the
United States Trust Company of this
city. with century Of life to his
credit and the record OF having been
a wise and trusted fiscal adviser OF
the United States Government sixty
years ago in the dark days OF our
civil war. Measured by the resources
of wealth, production and trade these
1000 banker delegates will represent
the greatest national financial power
in the world.
But this convention will embrace
and represent more than the banking
experience, judgment and genius Of
America. Industry, business, science
and the professions, supported and
stimulated in America by far seeing
financial vision and achievement ever
since the birth OF the Republic, will
address the bankers at the daily
meetings this week. as the bankers
will address statesmen, publicists,
educators and chiefs Of industry on
the questions that are intimately and
vitality interwoven with the economic
substance of the nation.
New York, first financial. business
and social center OF the country,
welcomes the bankers Of America.

that IL mattered not what the individual
name of the student might be, but that
1t was for the owner of each name to
make that name shine. He spoke of
students who had done so and finished
as follows:
you cannot all win intellectual dis
tinction and stand in the first rank OF
scholarship. In the very nature of the
case IL is impossible for more than one
man TO stand at the head of his class.
Those who graduate cum laude and
magma oum laude and summa cum laude
are always few in number. They are
greatly outnumbered by the men who
belong with that luclless chap who said
4 graduated mirabile dictu.'
But every man here can develop
character of the highest type. He can,
by turning his back on unworthy asso-
Citations. by setting his face against all
lawless action, by mailing the flag of
honesty and truth to his masthead to
fly there in all weathers, make his own
worthy contribution to that larger life
in which he shares. When he does that
he will write across his own forehead
a name that will be an honor to him and
an honor to those who gave him life and
an honor to the college with which he
casts his lot.
There was a young man once who
died at the age of thirty three. His
people were poor. He lived in small,
out of the way place called Galilee. He
knew nothing OF the benefits OF what we
call higher education He never saw
the inside nor the outside of anything
worthy to be called a city. His whole
environment was meager to the last de-
gree. But the quality of his inner life
was such that God gave Him a name
which is above every name. Before that
name and the mode OF life 1t indicates
every knee shall bow and every tongue
shall confess that His spirit is Lord of
life. Here then in His presence tell me.
l pray thee. thy name-the name you
bear now and the name which denotes
your capacity for .something finer and
that name which you mean to wear as
result of your training and consecra-

ARMoUR's opinion, mas been due to the
assumption that disputes between en-
ployer and employee turn upon the
division of profits. If this were so,
he argues, the problem would be
much simpler. But as a matter Of
fact division Of profits is only one
phase of the question. The problem
Of the wage Garner and the employer
is not how to divide profits but how
to make profits possible. For, obvi-
ously, IL there are no profits there
can be none to divide.
A strike or lockout settles moth
ing. 1t merely shows which side for
the time being is the stronger. 1t in
no way determines what is best for
the business, meaning by that what is
best for those who put their labor as
we'll as those who invest their capital
in an enterprise.
Between employees working for a
livelihood and employers working for
interest on their investment there
always will be disputes as to what is
a fair livelihood and what is fair
interest return. Mr.. ARMOUR believes
or hopes, however, the average run OF
men on the whole are open to reason
and all that is necessary to settle
ment of such disputes is clear un-
derstanding by both sides OF the ques-
tons at issue and of the immutable
economic laws involved. If opposing
groups cannot reach this understand
ing then there should be competent
tribunal to reach 1t for them.
That in substance is Mr.. ARMoUR's
presentation of the question in a re-
Gently published article from his pen.
1t is a presentation in which those Of
open mind will find much to COM
mend But the plain record on arbi-
tration to date is that it has seldom
solved problem except on compro-
mise and that it has left in count
less instances as much bitterness as
industrial war has.

Inflated Building Costs.

Rents continue to be high and they
cannot get down when the labor
charges put into new housing con-
struction are grossly inflated. An ex-
ample is the weekly earnings of plas-
terers. In Chicago, the president OF
the Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
tion states, plasterers are getting $2s
day for their work.
The Chicago plasterers are not get
ting SIG a day for the reason that is
the wage scale. They are not getting
it for the reason they earn IL by long
overtime hours or extra production.
hey are demanding 1t and they are
getting it because there are not
enough plasterers to go around on
all the new building operations car
ried on generally in the last year to
meet the housing shortage.
So the plasterers that there are
refuse to work for the wage scales
that have been agreed on in the diff
ferent communities. They will get
their own terms or there will be
nothing doing. They call for bids
from builders needing their services.
The builders OF one city bid against
one another and the builders Of va
fious cities bid against the builders
Of other cities until the plasterers
get offers that induce them to take
job.
In Chicago the bid may be higher
than all others at $26 day, as the
president Of the Illinois Manufactur-
ers Association reports, but in New
York and other cities 1t is far above
the regularly adopted wage scales.
Everybody is paying too much; all
p,astering, therefore, is costing too
much.
Whatever there is to be said in
behalf OF plssterers or any other
workers getting what they can for
their services under the law OF sup
ply and demand, 1t does not seem
possible that any mind can fail to
see the consequences to rent payers.
You cannot put into house ronstruc-
ton three or four times the labor
costs that normally go into house
construction without having it either
appear correspondinsly in the rent
or without throwing the owners OF
houses built at such excessive costs
into bankruptcy.
And again, whatever defense there is
for the wage demands Of plasterers

Purpose of the College.
Brain AristOcrats Not Those Who
Need Education Most.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
statement of DIR. Hopkins OF Dartmouth
College that higher education should be
restricted to brain aristocracy is un-
fortunate IL 1t is likely TO carry any
weight. It is the sort of doctrine We
have heard for years from business men
who have no real appreciation of cul-
ture and true scholarship.
The fact is we are crude and ma
terialistic nation. We need educating.
The aristocracy of brains will always
find means of educating itself. college
or no college. The real duty OF the ed
ucational institutions is to the man OF
limited mental powers. who without its
aid will never fuifiIl his destiny.
The brain aristocrat can be trusted TO
achieve; it is the brain commoner who
needs to be fostered, cherished and de-
veloped by those who dispense the trust
funds Of donors who gave with the hope
and expectation of carrying knowledge
to all who are athirst, and not alone 10
those distinguished by unusual ability.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
PRINCETON, Oct. 1.-Princeton's atti-
tude regarding a mans religion was
made clear by John Grier Hibben, presi-
dent. at chapel services here to-day.
He urged the undergraduates to strive
for higher accomplishment In the fleids
Of intellectual and spiritual endeaVor
during the coming year. :.
'It is a part of our Princeton tra1i-
ton" he said, "that the religious con-
victions Of a man are respected. 1hey
are not made an object either of chal-
ienge or of ridicule There is one de-
mand only that is made--that man re-
ligious convictions be consistent with his
life There Is no tolerance for Pharisee-
ism. for cant. for hypocrisy. Tor sancti-
moniousness or the holier than thou atti-
tude to ones fellowmen. Where there
Is sincerity. consistency and straightfor-
wardness religion is not only respected
but honored."
Advising Princeton men to center all
their activities about their studies, Dr.
Hibben sounded a warning that there
would be q constant elevation OF the IN
tellectual standards in line with the pol
icy Of restriction of enrolment.

For the second time in one year
Two teams of one city have won the
championship Of their respective
leagues. AS in 1921, the Giants and
the Yankees will have it out at the
Polo Grounds for the world pennant.
Last year. with an attendance Of
10000, the games drew receipts of
$500. 200.
According to the experts the series
which begins on Wednesday will be a
contest Of pitching against pure rea-
son, the Yankees supplying the first
and Mr.. MCGRAw the second. The
Giants manager is credited with
genius. He is to baseball what
CESAR, NAPOLEON and FocH were to
war--only more so.
Mr.. McGRAw directs each play.
He calculates unerringly what kind
of ball should be pitched by blond
southpaw hurler six feet tall and a
great reader of ARNOLD BENNETT to a
third baseman who was born in
Oakland, California, and who has
