independence and Service

"The Charleston News and Cou-
rier" is puzzled One Of the leading
Democratic newspapers Of the South,
IL stoutly upholds the old-fashioned
partisan idea that the way to sup
port a party is 20 defend as perfect
everything done by its agents. SO it
is amazed by the frank advice now
being given TO the Administration by
Republican newspapers.
The Republican papers. the best
and most representative Of them"
says our Soa,h Carolina friend, "are
rather bewildering these days. Take
The New York Tribune, for exam
pie" The Tribune's attitude toward
the tariff bill is deemed surprising
and il is regarded as strange that :

Of farm products.
There are two relations a news

not independent.
This independence, Of course, long
was misunderstood. But now even
the most hard-boiled Of politicians
realize that only newspapers which
are known 10 speak with free voice
have much influence with the public
or are much o. an asset 10 a party.
At least, this is the condition that
exists in the latitude Of New York,
even though it has not yet rrived in
the latitude Of dlarles.)n. "The
News and Courier" in time doubt
less will escape from its bewilder-
ment and recognize that the free
comment of the Republican press
furnishes one Of the best evidences
that the party is not afflicted with
dry-rot or with mechanical thinking.

Germany's Inner Disease

To continue to fight over again a
war that is ended is commonly a
prcftless business. But silence that
helps bring on another war is an
other matter.
Those who deprecate further dis
cussion Of how and why the war be-
gan assume heavy responsibility.
No matter Of perpetuating hate is
involved, for Germany more than
any other nation needs to know the
truth. 1t is not friendly to her to
cnyelop her blame in doubt.
Germany. as BRAND said at the
Washington conference, is physically
disarmed, but has not yet been
morally disarmed." Who will say
she has been? The Kautsky docu-
ments, drawn from Berlin's archives,
are practically ignored in Germany,
while the yarns Of the Kaiser and Of
Bethmann-Hollweg still find almost
universal acceptance.
Yet back Of every question vex-
ing Europe - reparation, disarma-
ment. economic readjustment and
everything else-is the supreme ques-
tion Of Germany's moral regenera-
ton II has not come. This is a
grave matter.
The war did not spring from any
attack on Germany or from any plan
70 attack her; it did not come from
commercial or industrial rivalry. for
big business is international and dis
likes war as much as does a Quaker.
Il was born Of the vain pride Of a
group in Germany whose members
thought TO cxalt themselves BY con-
quest. These We're enthusiastically
followed by the German masses. And
the German masses have not re
pented.
So long as Germany denies blame
the real pacification Of Europe will
be delayed. II is a spurious mag
nanimity which says TO Germany not
GO and sin no more" but Go and
sin some moreW
So schemes and plans to make life
easier for the German people must
be judged in relation TO what use
Germany intends to make Of power
II she regsins i. Many Of US wish

"Gagging Criticism

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Gaggmg Criti-
eism' is a surprise to your readers who
are aware Of your usually well informed
and progressive clarity on matters Of
vital public Importance.
As matter Of fact, the Judge adyo-
ate to whose decision you take excep-
,ion was exactly right. On entering
the army or navy an American citi-
zen voluntarily relinquishes. for the
public good, certain constitutional
rights which he would have retained
had he not entered the service Of the
United States
In the early 9Os this phase OF the
contract between citizen and the gov
ernment was very ably set forth by (if
| remember correctly Secretary Hilary
A. Herbert. Of Cleveland's second Cabi-
net.
The Congress Of the United States
has enacted as statute law both the
articles Of war and the articles for
the better government Of the navy,
modified from time to time by other
statutes. None Of these has ever been
Questioned as unconstitutional.
Because certain secretaries or officers
abuse the authority reposed in them OF
exercise it in an arbitrary and improper
manner against the best interests Of
the American people such action does

OF all the modern poets who feel
great truths and tell them" Edgar A.
Guest, that clear. sweet singer, is most
despised by his naughty antagonists Of
literary criticism. The virtuous magic
Of his song turns them 70 sour COM
men,G,ions and they writhe when he
lifts his voice in rhymed approval Of,
fos instance, home and mother. Though
adept in expressing wholesome ad-
mirn.ion for the cradle, the hearth
stone and the covered bungalow,
Nh Guest gets nothing in return from
the city critics but epithet and ami
madversion. An humble outcast from
distinguished appreciation, he listens
enyiously. no doubt, and from a dis
tanee. while the patrician choir Of har-
monizing log.rollers sounds the fra
ternity anthem "Merrily we roll-a.log,
roll-a-log. roll-a-logl"
Mr.. Guest. however. eireulates, and
by his glad stanzas makes the folks
happy and himself aiiluent. "The joys
OF childhood dance through his pages
the homely fun OF life is there"

Amurath to Amurath

Whatever the truth be in regard
TO the physical condition Of Lenine.
the Russian autocrat. il is plain
something has happened behind the
guarded gates Of the Kremlin.
1t is not improbable that a tri-
umvirate has seized the reins OF au-
thority from the sick mans hands.
The stricken despot, profoundly re-
dictionary though he has been, has
not dared TO make his throne hored-
itary and has espoused no Marie
Louise and is father of no King Of
Rome.
Palace revolutions are character
istic Of autocracies, and vizIers who
have access to the Sultan's bed
chamber best know when to act.
Scratch a Russian and find a Tar
tar" we are told--a Tartar whose
instinct in small matters is divi-
sional and agglutinative. like his
language. but in large matters sub
mits to a great Khan. But Russia
is Byzantine and Turkish as well as
Tartar, and easily yields to Yelled
Prophets and TO Amurath TO ANU
rath succeeding. Truly autocracies
60 their way.
Nor is il surprising that Trotzky's
name does not appear among the tri-
umvirs. Trotzky, who struts about
as a soldier, has become too much
man Of the camp to be trusted by
men Of the antechamber. He might
appeal to his soldiers in case of
disagreement with colleagues. and
through their guns would have an
advantage in argument The re-
gency commissars may be as
sumed not 10 be altogether fools.
They know that if they are expelled
the army probably will effect the
expulsion. Not until his pampered
Cossacks refused to fire on the peo-
pie was the Gar in danger The new
autocracy is as much dependent on
the loyalty Of the army as was the
old, but it would not have the
army know its power.
No material improvement is to be
expected in Soviet policy The
only change likely is an increase
Of sovietization. The new part
ners will try to systematic
their machine. Already classes
have developed in Russia. The Sec
ondary commissars are the mobiles
CT the court. The members Of the
Communist party are the gentry.
The well fed army is the police
force The swollen bureaucracy are
its servants City mobs are to get
bread and circuses. All is to re-
volve at the expense of the Russian
masses. In time human vanity will
assert itself and then will come gold
lace and eye-flling ceremonies.
Verify history does repeat itself.
Start an autocracy and it fulflls its
destiny unless the people stop il.

High Statesmanship

Had England granted 10 'ne
American colonies a measure Of IN
dependence comparable TO that
guaranteed by the revised Irish con-
stitution there would have been no
Boston Tea Party and probably no
Revolution. BY the terms Of this
astonishingly liberal document an
Irishman is as free in Ireland as an
Engl.shman is in England. He has
,he same voice in his own govern
mert, the same share in the shaping
Of the dcstinies Of his nation.
Every demand which has arisen
in six centuries Of warfare appears
10 be conceded, even to the estsb-
lishmcnt Of the right to maintain an
Irish army. controlled and directed
by the Irish Parliament. Scarcely
wear ago the very thought Of an in
dependent and organized armed
force across the Irish Channel made
Englishmen shudder with appre-
hension.
The new free state is empowered
20 elect its own national legislature,
which in turn shall appoint the
president and vice-prcsident Of the
executive council. Suffrage is
granted TO voters Of both sexes over
twenty-one, save in the case Of the
election Of Senators, where thirty
years is made the qualification Of
electors. The laws are made by the
Irish Parliament and may be initi-
ated by the Irish electorate.
The right Of free speech is guar
anieed without cquivocation. A still
more notable provision is the guar
anty that except in case Of actual
invasion the new state shall not be
committed 10 any war without the
consent Of its Parliament
It is difficult to see how the most
violent can ask anything more OF
Great Britain than this constitution.
Only the oath to support the King
is required, and that oath is taken
by every citizen Of every British
dominion, including the Australians
and Canadians, who are as indepen-
dent as any people on the face Of
the earth
The granting Of such a constitu-
ton is an act Of high statesman
ship. Il IS an expression by Eng
land Of confidence that the British
Empire will remain intact no matter
how much power is placed in the
hands Of the governments that COM
\ pose IL. IL is also an expression Of
u faith in the good sense of the peo-
pie Of Ireland and Of the belief that
they will have the capacity TO gov
eTn themselves
A noteworthy fact IN connection
with the constitution is that is chief
supporter IN the British Cabinet is
Austen Chamberlain, whose father
Joseph Chamberlain, split the Lib
cral party because he disagreed with
the Gladstone policy Of recognizing
lrcland's demand for home rule.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY James J. Montague
A Change

A Change
A King on n Balkan throne,
In the dErs that are long gone
by.
Was safer TO leave alone.
And the populace well knew
why.
If they asked him TO abdicate
I'm even the mildest way,
They were first harangued
And secondly hanged
At the break Of the following
day.
No matter what monarchs did
(And none of the crowd were
saints,
The people were all forbid
To voice any rude complaints.
With counterfeit signs Of JOY
They paid a prodigious tax,
For well IL was known
That n single groan
Would invite the headman's
axe.
But now in n Balkan state.
When the citizens restiye grow,
And quietly intimate
That it's time for the King 10
90,
lie doesn't waste time on wrath,
But hurriedly grabs his crown,
And the next that's heard
OF the royal bird
Comes from some other town.
1t isn't the populace now
Who fear 20 offend the King,
Lest haply he raise a row
And order them all to swing.
It's the King who turns quickly
pale,
As he lies in his golden bed.
Lest the people say
In their peeyish way,
"Of with his stupid head"

A Correction

A Washington dispatch appearing
in The Tribune on May 10 last con-
taincd the erroneous statement that
the tariff bill reported by the Senate
Finance Committee imposed a 10
per cent ad valorem duty on shoes.
This statement was repeated in an
editorial published on MAY 16.
Senator Ladd, Of North Dakota,
recently commented on these arti-
cles and charged The Tribune with
perverting the facts for propaganda
purposes.
There was no intention TO mis-
lead The bundcr occurred through
confusion Of the duty on shoes
with the duty on manufactures Of
leather, not specially provided for,
which is 40 per cent. The duty on
shoes is per cent ad valorem. plus
maximum Of l2 cents per pair, as
compensation for the specific duties
levied on hides. Senator Ladd said
that the duty on pair Of shoes
would be "less than'32 cents" What
percentage this would be Of the in
voice price would depend on the
grade Of the shoe. On the cheapest
grades It might be nearer 30 per
cent than . per cent
The Tribune regrets the mac
curacy. though il appears TO have
been slight.
