One of the gravest evils in the law

forth from the prisons of the country men
who are beyond hope of redemption, to
continue their depraved and dangerous

yet to be corrected. The fact must be
recognized that in these days Of rapid

It Is of more than passing interest
that portraits of Sir Walter Raleigh and

10 tne Edltor OF The Star:
For many years I have been a regular

Franklin, Lawrence, Mrs Thompson and
others.
l am very much amazed at the state
ments made in j. Franklin's article. pub
lished in your October 2 issue, in which
Mr.. Franklin left the very definite i'm
preston that Senator Burton K. Wheeler
was hoWled down and booed during his
speech at the Constitution day celebra-
tlon IN Chicago. 1t so happened that I
attended these exercises in Chicago. had
an excellent seat where I heard and
witnessed the entire program.
Ihere is not one word of truth in the
statement that Senator Wheeler was
hoWled down and booed. On the other
hand, Senator Wheeler was given a
considerable ovation both when he began
ana at the conclusion of his speech. He
was also encored numerous times and
there was no evidence whatever of
dlsrespect shown to Senator Wheeler or
any adverse reaction to any of his re-
marks

implication of Mr.. Franklin's article
that thought you might like to have

'sThe COOkie.Pushers."

In corridor of the State Department
hangs a memorial tablet dedicated to
diplomatic and consular officers of the
United States who, while on active
duty, lost their lives under heroic or
tragic circumstances" Sixty-five of
these American soldiers of peace are
thus commemorated. Today another
name is added to that roll of honor
James Theodore Mariner, Consul Gen
eral at Beirut, Syria, who was assas-
sinated on Tuesday by an Armenian
madman to whom a visa to enter this
country had been refused on the ground
of insanity in the applicants family.
Ted" Mariner, brilliant career officer
of the foreign service, fell in action and
in the line of duty as illustriously as any
soldier on the field of battle. Native of
Maine, graduate of Dartmouth and Har-
ward and English instructor at the
Cambridge University before embarking
upon the diplomatic calling in 1918, he
typifled the most cultured traits aSSo-
ciated with the profession he was deS-
tined to adorn, bringing to it, as we'll,
those qualities Of sound judgment, good
breeding, modest bearing and tact which
are indispensable to success in the ted
ious and delicate art OF cementing inter-
national relationships.
1t is paying the superlative tribute
to Ted" Mariner to say that he was
the very flower of the State Department
career man." Immaculate in dress,
punctilious in manner and reserved in
speech. he could have served as the
perfect pattern of the cookie -pusher"
and white spat boy" of heavy-handed
satirists who are fond of depicting the
foreign service as a crew of snobbish
climbers afflicted with a maximum of
social ambition and a minimum of horse
sense or interest in their country's af-
fairs. The Consul General just felled
by a Iunatic's bullet demonstrated in
his own long record of service in Wash
ington and at responsible post over
seas that the chronic gibes leveled at his
caste are misplaced humor, generally as
witless as it is undeserved.
Our diplomatic and consular officers,
especially at this hour of omnipresent
world turmoil, face unseen perils and
unimaginable dangers as part and par
eel of their daily jobs. Consul General
Mariners pitifully untimeE end re-
minds us that these pitfalls are tradi-
tions Of the service. A gentleman,
scholar and worthy representative of his
country has laid down his life gallantly
in the uniform of Americas army OF
peace.

J Harry Hopkins w. P. A. researchers
could employ their energies to less worthy
purpose than that of attempting to read
the riddle. For example: Did Raleigh
truly win the favor of the Queen by
spreading his new cloak over a puddle
for her convenience? Such is the tradi-
ton, based upon Naunton's "Fragmenta
Regalia" and Fuller's "Worthies," but it
is denied. Similarly, there is controversy
about his share in the troubles of his
rival, the second Earl of Essex. 1t is
alleged that he was bribed to help his
fallen competitor for Elizabeths smiles,
then shamelessly abandoned him. What
really happened still is in question.
So, too, Sir Walters participation in
the conspiracies of the early portion of
the reign of James I is debated 1t is
unchallenged that Ibis trial at VIM
chester, November 1903, was conducted
with outrageous unfairness." The only
witness against him was the unhappy
Lord Gotham, who gave such various
evidence as to constitute himself a
classic contradiction. Raleigh demanded
in vain-that his traducer be brought
into court The jury was persuaded by
the silence of the council and by the
brutality of Sir Edward Coke, playing
the role of attorney general with no
credit to his reputation. But the King
was too timid to consent to execution
until October 80, 1918, when, to oblige
the Spanish Ambassador Gondomar, he
sent Sir Walter to the block.
Meanwhile, Raleigh had become a
popular hero as he never had been in
the period of his youthful prosperity
The light of adulation continues to burn
about his name. 1t will not fade in ages
yet to dawn, but its clarity would be
enhanced by careful study on the part
of qualified scholars. Possibly Sir Harold
Harmsworth's generous philanthropy
will stimulate the desired activity.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Since the recent discussion here OF
modern phonograph records, many re-
quests have come for advice as to the
best ways Of making collection.
There are, of course, two ways, the
haphazard and the planned.
That is true of all collections. One
may buy here, there and everywhere,
just the things which happen to strike
the fancy at the time, or one may choose
in advance plan of action and stick
to it.
There can be no question that the
latter is by far the best plan, provided
the collector has reasonable knowledge
Of what he is doing.
1t Is coming to be widely recognized
among just ordinary folk that the mod
ern gramophones and recordings give the
people their first real chance in the CEN
turies to hear the best music we'll played
and properly eproduced-wheneyer
they want to hear it.
That is where the personal touch
comes in. 1t is no longer question
altogether of taking just what the con-
cert master wants to give one, or hear
ing what the radio sends.
1t is now up to the individual music
lover.
This always has been true of the
phonograph?
Not exactly.
In the past the great master works,
especially in the orchestral field, were
given only in extracts.
Today one gets the whole thing, from
beginning to end
Not just excerpts.
Above all, the listener today gets the
proper balance of instruments, one with
the other, which makes up so much Of
the glory of orchestral music. In the
older acoustical records the listener had
to use his imagination in hearing, so
many OF the frequencies, higher and
lower, were missing. Even had they
been recorded. the reproducer was not
capable of giving them being. This may
be demonstrated by putting one of the
newer recordings on an old machine
Many of the tones recorded cannot get
forth, but how valiantly they try! The
listener can hear them rumbling around,
like giants straining at leashes. Only the
new machines will bring them out.
Inc haphazard way OF selecting discs
has its charm, especially as one goes
along. One tries certain number of
records, either likes" or "dislikes" them
maybe buys one out of three or four
One samples here a symphony, here
popular song, here classical opera
number.
In time one has large collection of
records, totally unrelated to each other
except in that they are all music.
In the end the collection is seen to
have no rhyme or reason, except love
of music, and perhaps that is enough,
after all.
But there is another way. that of the
planned collection, made with some idea,
behind it Of getting somewhere, musically
This need not be- in fact, had better
not be, very determined idea of be-
coming educated in regard to music.
Such course is not necessary.
What is essential is that some basic
idea be behind the collection.
One might specialize in sopranos, for
instance.
Or have very fine collection of piano
records
One might select composer, let us

History Demonstrates That
China Will Survive Japan

To the Editor Of The Star:
We should be very glad that japan
in subjugating China.
A strong and united China would end
Japans present threat to the Americas
But thirty years of civil war, with no
END IN prospect, have shown Chinese
inability to unite of themselves.
Let us read history
Ireland was rent by clan feuds in the
twelfth century; England came in and
smashed the vicious clan system. Po-
land was rent two hundred years ago:
Russia, Prussia and Austria ended the
Polish war lords And the result?
Ireland is nation today; Poland is
nation. Thanks to Japan, China will be.
The conquest of Ireland weakened
England; ever after she had to look out
for knife in the back A conquered
Poland was similar pain in the side
to her foreign masters National con-
sciousness was not destroyed by con-
quest, but was aroused and unified.
Austria, made up of many conquered
peoples, was a great power in appear-
ance, but was always second best in
battle, and fell apart at last.
Racial difference is much greater he

between England and Ireland, or be-
tween Russia and Poland, or between
Austrian and Slav or Czech. The Chi
nese won't become Japanese, or even
pro-Japanese; the contrary, decidedly,
says history.
The natural and stupid impulse is to
oppose an enemys every move. The
clever thing is to let an enemy make
mistakes. Japan will make a mistake in
unifying China. Let her train the Chi
nese for war and she is training them
to fight Japan. Let her go to it. Why
oppose an enemy in his mistakes? Let
us read history.
