To The Editor :

To The Editor:
In your issue Of The Light Monday
September 3, appeared an editorial en-
titled "Too Much for Plain Folk.
The matter dealt with seemed puzzlin;
to you, no reflection, sir, on youi
looks, as / am not plain FOLKS it i

If you can understand it without
the whiskey, just send me the darned
stuff.
In the, first place you mention that
Lord Birlrnhead and Sir A. w. Cope
two English gents now in this coun-
try, have been severely criticized for
some unwise cracks they have made
anent coaxing this country to join the
League of Nations. and also for in
sulting American officials.
The puzzling part is that they are
condemned equally by Irish-Americans
and Englishmen. Now this is deep
laid English plot. and here is the an
swer right off the bat.
Irish-Americans who don't know
anything about actual conditions in
Ireland favor De Valera. The majority
of Irishmen in ireland who do under
stand actual conditions there favor
the Free State.
England. who understands both the
De valerites and the Free Skaters
wants to keep them continually scrap
ping against each other. hoping they
will meet the same fate as the two
Kilkenny cats, thereby settling the
Irish question effectually and enabling
England to convert the southern prov.
inces into orange groves.
Here use a little whiskey.
England is also trying to get con-
troll Of the United States so as TO Gu
large Canada, thereby getting this
country into the League of Nations.
and IL she could secure the help OF the
Irish-Americans the rest would be
easy, because the Irish here would sim
ply relinquish control and hand the
KEYS over TO England.

WANTS MORE TREES.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
| have not lived in San Antonio fol
so long a time that feel as though
probably have no right to comment
on the administration of any of the
city affairs, but after visiting all oil
the parks in the last few days, can
not restrain myself from writing this
letter.
Many years ago there lived in San
Antonio man named Ludwig Mahnke
with whom L had the pleasure of be-
ing intimately acquainted. l well re-
member the day that he took me in his
borse-drawn vehicle out to the present
Breckenridge Park, San Pedro Part;
and other parks and showed Inc with
pride some young pecan trees which he
had Just planted. His face fairly
5elmed when he told me how beautiful
he intended to make all Of these parks
by the planting of trees. He convinced
ne that the real beauty in all parks
was in the trees and that an I'M
selfish man, one who would plant for
the future generations to enjoy, was
the sort of man who should be trusted
with the confidence If the. municipality
as its park commissioner.
1 never for one moment thought that
after his death which followed very
shortly that the politicians would fol-
low UP his work with an AK and de-
story the handiwork of God, much
less that of poor old Ludwig.
On my visit to the parks the other
day / did not find a single young
tree planted. but 1 did see old trees
dy;ng from the want of care and wa
ter. Itmade my heart ache.
/ am writing this letter in order to
call attention to this fact and ask
that the citizens see that the old trees
are at least preserved even il these
modern times will not permit the
planting of new young trees.

friends found a youthful mind which
readily grasped their problems. To all
he rendered every assistance within
his power. To all he proved himself
helpful. sincere and truthful. 1t IS
that character which ennobled the
man, and left an indclible impress
upon the lives and hearts of count
less men, who were proud to call him

D. c. MAN ANSWERS
u. S. FRAUD CHARGE.
Perry, Sued in Lumber Deal,
Says His Connection Was
Only as Salesman.

Roland Perry of the District of
Columbia. jointly sued with j. L.
Phillips, former republican commit
teeman from Georgia, and others by
the United States for an accounting
of millions alleged to have been made
on the sale of surplus lumber after
the war. today filed his answer in the
District Supreme Court He declares
ne has no knowledge of any conspi-
racy on the part of Phillips and the
others connected with the disposal
Of the lumber, and says his only con-
nection was as a salesman. He worked
only one month and was unable to
effect sale at the prices asked. He
received $500. which he says was his
monthly salary
Mr.. Perry admits he attended the
ment's bill of complaint, but says
he was there merely as the represent
ative of the Georgia Florida yellow
pine emergency bureau, by which he
was then employed.
He admits that Representations
were there made by men financially
interested In the lumber industry
that 1t would injure greatly the lum-
Der trade If the surplus stock were
dumped on the market.
Suggestions were also made looking
to the ways and means to dispose Of
the lumber in such manner that the
governments interests would not suf-
fer and still do as little damage to
the lumber industry as possible
His only connection with Phillips,
he said, was subsequent to January
90, 1919, and after Phillips & Stephens
had made the contract with the gov
ernment to sell the lumber. He was
employed as a salesman at a monthly
salary of $500, and after negotiating
with lumber dealers in Illinois and
Missouri for a whole month was una
bic to sell any of the lumber at the
prices he considered fair. Attorneys
Boyle. Brown & McCawley appear for
Mr.. Perry.

MR.. BRYAN ONCE MORE

II William Jennings Bryan were
less in the public prints, furiously
talking about one subject and an
other and giving to some perhaps
the impression that he is thinking
it would be easier to take what he
has to say seriously.
Mr.. Bryan's latest controversy
with Governor Smith in which he
strove to read New York's chief ex-
ecutive out of the Union and out of
the ranks of American citizenship,
is a case in point. Mr.. Bryan is an
emotional citizen whose logic as Mr..
Garet Carrot would have it, is a
state of feeling raised to "a state
of mind"
William Jennings Bryan has long
given wordy evidence of the fact
that he has not digested the first
tribute of a statesman-the ability
to see, in an issue on which he has
personal convictions, more than the
most radical part of one side of the
matter. Whether one favors the

PROFESSIONS AND THE
COLLEGES

We are SO frequently told that
the colleges have ceased to. be
training schools for the profess
sions that it is almost with sur
prise that one finds these vacations
making such a good showing with
the graduating class at Harvard. If
eng naering and technical pursuits
arc added to the old professions
fnds 25S of the seniors ex-
pect'ng TO enter professional work,
against 1873 who them
selves as intended for business or
business pursuits.
Such statistics are, of course, ut
terly unreliable as showing what
sort of work these men will finally
adopt, but they do show what sort
of work is made to appear attrac-
tive by four years of the collegiate
environment. They are statistics Of
hope rather than of performance ;
but they indicate that the col
leges are still turning out more
men who would prefer to sell their
W specially trained services than
men who would prefer merely to
sell. or who find allure in the
vague and romantic function of
executive"
1t generally turns out that the
specialist is cheap and the good
business man or executive officer,
whatever his special training may
have been, is expensive; con-
sequently many of these Harvard
seniors who are looking toward
professional work will, in the end.
be indistinguishable as business
men from their classmates who an
nounce less specialized ambitions,
But it would seem to speak rather
well for the college that its grad
yates are still imbued with the de-
STABILITY of professional training.
The professional ideal is rather q
fine one; for it clings to the belief
that the world is to be saved by
hard and exact thinking by trained
minds, as well as by mere general
competence.
