MAKE SAFE FOURTH SANE rnHB ban on "sparklers," with prom-- ls of future comprehensive legisla tion by Council prohibiting all fireworks and explosives, prepares this city for a safe Fourth of July eventually, Dut the celebration of our independence is not yeVsanc. Tlatform oratory of the pre vailing national birthday type is often a solemn bore. A city policed into lugubrious stillness is very imperfectly symbolic of the spirit which should ac company a memorable anniversary. The truth is that neither explosions dangerous to human life, bombast nor grave-like quietude exhaust the possi bilities of our holiday. What is eesen- Ualjly needed is the evocation of the carnival spirit, harmless yet genuinely j enjoyamey Thetown catches something of this noturij every ?ow Year's, and while i spontaneous glee is, by its ury char acter, difficult to rtump up, due cm phasis of the festal side of Independence Day might in time induce our sensi bilities to work freely and exultantly. The greatest secular holiday in our calendar surely deserves better handling. JSvcn the cosily manufactured paper storms of armistice day would help matters.

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE When the Duty to Observe the Law Is Admitted There Will Be No Interference With Either Right IT COULD be wished that the Mayor had gone a little further in his stntement to a committee of business men who consulted him nbout the set tlement of the longshoremen's strike. He was right when he said that "the administration has nothing to do with the question of wnges or the hours of Inbor." And he was nlo right when he said that "the right of men to re fuse to work cannot be dented " But so far as the report of the in terview between the Mayor nnd the committee goes, he did not say that the right of a man to work cannot be denied nor did he say that the full power of the city will be exorcised to protect every man willing to work in the exercise of that right without in terference from any one. There has already been rioting on the river front between the strikers nnd the men who are trying to work, Sev eral lives have been lost. The polico captain who failed to preserve order has been demoted, but that does not bring back to life the Innocent bystanders who were shot by the rioters. If the polico had been doing their full duty the rioting would have been impossible. The longshoremen have stopped work, which is their right. They have pro vented other men from working, which the have no right to do. And as a result they have tied up the business of the port. The function of the police depart ment is to preserve order nnd to pro tect every peaceful citizen in his right to work and to go to nnd from work unmolested. It is not its function to tni-o sides with the disputants in a strike. Its only duty is to preserve the pence. if the successor of the demoted police captain can be impresvpd with his duty in the matter, and if he is backed by Director Cortelyou, the first and most important move toward the settlement of the strike will have been made. Then the disputants can settle the issue on its merits without intimidation on either side. The disorder on the river front is the result of the same contempt for the rights of others that has been exhibited by the rioters in Fnlrmount 1'ark. For three nights in succession mobs of joung men have made trouble in the Paris. On Tuesday night twelve per sons were arrested after a battle with the police, and when arraigned in court yesterday they were held in heavy ball to await trial. They were all young, et they showed a contempt for au thority which cannot be tolerated in a civilized community. Governor Coolidge was referring to other issues in the stntement that he maile nfter conferring with Senator Harding in Washington yesterday, but his remarks apply to the local situa tion Ho said thnt we have many problems ahead of us and continued : Many men havo many remedies.

It must de sire order and fair play.

FOOD PRODUCTION mHE necessity for giving more serious 1 mention to the food problem has rl,CM,tlv been urged upon audiences in Cambridge, .mush . nnu uocmord, ill. The Rockfotd audience was mnde up of farmers of Winnebago county, gath ered nt tho annual grnugo picnic. Thn Cambridge audience was composed of grnduates of Harvard University. Both the fnrmers and the college men were told that unless tho present tendency away fiom the tountry were checked thn time would come in the near future when wo should be dependent on other notions for what we eat. Franklin K. Lane, former secretary of tho interior, told the Harvard men that when they wtira born 70 per cent ot the population lived ou tho land. Now, he said, CO per cent live In tho cities and aro dependent on the labor of the romalning 40 per cent for tho food that they eat. We ure in dnnger of becoming overindustrlalized and overstandardized. John C. Ketcham, master of tho na tional grange, told tho Winnebago county formers that the puoplo in tho cities had too little sympathy with agricultural problems. There is crying need for houses in tho cities, but there are thou sands of vacant farmhouses, made va cant by the migration of the young men to tho cities. Everybody wnnts to eat, he said, and nobody wants to work. Unless this condition is f changed we rur L EVEHING PUBLIC shall hnvo to adjust our digestive ap paratus to accommodate rubber tires and gas engines in order to live. Neither Mr. Ketcham nor Mr. Lnno pointed tho way out. The conditions which thqy bewailed have long been known. Wo hnvo been told time nfter time whither they tended. But the farms hai'c been nbnndoned by the youth, who hope to live an easier life in the cities and to get n larger financial return. Some of them hnvc found what they sought nnd have won great for tunes. Put most of them arc still working for wages. They live in npnrt ments or small houses and bring up their children in surroundings much less wholesome than the open country. There Is no immediate prospect of n shifting of the tide of migration from tho cities to the country. Put if the country boys can be kept on the fnrms nnd trained in the nrts of agriculture the food situntion will prow no worse, Tho ability which will bring success in tho city will also bring success iu the country. The agricultural papers were telling n few Hears ago of a Georgia farm boy who had made $1,000,000 in farming. He started with nothing, but when he had paid for his first farm he bought another nnd rented it, and kept on until lie wns devoting himself ex clusively to looking nfter his tenants and seeing thnt they managed the farms in such a wny ns to make them profit nblc for him and for them. What this man did enn be done by others with equal business ability. The prospect for financial success and inde pendence is more brilliant for the boy who stays on the farm than for the boy who goes to the city. There is always a market for what ho produces, for fashions In food do not chnugo and com petition doe.s not drive the food pro ducer out of business. If tome one can solve the marketing problem so thnt tho farmer can get a larger share of tho retail price of what he raises we shall have gone a long wny toward stopping the depopulation of tho farms. THE VICE PRESIDENT'S PART SENATOR HARDING'S expressed view thnt "the Vice President should be more than a mere substitute in waiting" is likely to strike n re sponsive echo in public opinion. For many years, especially when the chief magistracy has been occupied by a dominant nnd assertive personality, the electorate has been sympathetic to the idea of n Vice President with more than figurehead functions. The remedy, however, in this instance does not He directly in the people. Consideration of the Vice President is primarily determined bv the char acter of the President nnd his mentnl attitude. There is nothing to prevent the President from consulting tho Vice President on any topic or from the calling the "mere substitute" into the cabinet sessions in the capacity of un official adviser. Moreover, Congress, if it seems fit, can appoint the Vice President to head spccinl commissions without infringing the constitutional limitations placed on his office. Put chiefly it is the President him self who cun lift his immediate sub ordinate from obscurity, which is one reason, at least from the Republican point of view, why Mr. Harding's ob servations nrc significant. MATRIMONIAL JUNE JUGGLERS with figures, who .are abundant, could doubtless prove nuy number of things by the unprecedented records of the marriage license bureau of this city for the month of June just past. It could be shown, perhnps, that the war held up weddings, that lost opportunities nre now being regained, that our population has increased and that the wedding rush is only natural, or that times arc Hush and mankind is hopeful or that they are hard and human folk nre reckless. But nt the risk of confutation by pundits, the ordinary observer will probably be content to interpret the fact that approximately 3200 marriage licenses were issued within the last thirty days as a good sign. What if Doctor Johnson did call tho marrlago of a wUJowcr "the triumph of hope over experience"? Is it not therefrom deduclble that the first mat rimonial plunge is expressive primarily of hope? And is not hope a welcome factor amid the confused groplngs of humnnit '' Most of us think so and arc really not a bit afraid of the latest tremendous statistics. A TIP FOR MEXICO PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT DE LA IU'EKTA has volunteered tho suggestion that Mexico should adopt the parliamentary system of government, with ample powers in the hands of the cabinet and a responsible ministry. It will be easy for pertinent para grajihers to find in tills proposal a scheme whereby our southern neighbor will be enabled to change her rules in the future even more frequently and speedily than in tho past. And yet the counsel cannot be dismissed as wholly one of folly. The American presidential regime, upon which the Mexlcnn Government is theoretically based, demands patience and poise The "opposition" In the United States chronlcnlly rages. It shrieks daggers, but it uses none. Of till the nations of the earth, Mex ico is probably tho least fitted for the restraint necessary for one political party to accept defeat from the hands of its rivul The Latin temperament accords much more satisfactorily with tho responsible ministry plan, ns has been repeatedly demonstrated in France, which under the Third Republic hns perhaps been spared several revolution ur outbreaks by recourse to tho legally sanctioned principle of direct action. The parliamentary method in Mexico could possibly call dictatorship to stricter account. That Is fundamentally what is needed for the preservation of order below the Rio Grande.

With n course clearly deter mined, the type of man to carry it out follows as a corollary. It would be a pity to push things to nn issue with mnny of the true friends of the Uni versity unconvinced ns to tho actual changes in its position which hnvc taken place. It Is bitter to any of us not to linvo his own way; nnd the bitterness seems the more Intense, when our nf fectlons nrc enlisted nnd intcrtnnglcd with those virtuous sehtiments which have their roots in our prejudices. What Is needed nt this juncture is n further program of education. With many of us, education censes upon graduation from college; with some it ceases even earlier. Might it not be nn iden worth consideration, that of n post-grndunto school, of course, compulsory nt least for collegians, especially such- ns hnvc never studied much anyhow? Let it bo called a course in the current of events academic. The swirl nnd eddy of nctual progress might bo mitigated somewhat for such ns need It. The demonstration of motion is the naln thing. But this is n tnngent; the Gownsman must back to his theme. THE vice provostship as at Pennsyl vania is a somewhat unusual office in our American college organizations. It is not the fifth wheel of the wagon, ns some one maliciously colled it, al though a fifth wheel is not despicable in emergency, ns any nutolst will in form you. The vico provost of Pennsylvania is rather nn officer of Uni son to use n term which tho war pop ularised for us the personage who unites and gives cohesion to tho several faculties into which tho complicated; organism of a large university is certain to grow. This offlco gives to tho prov ostship a larger range nnd freedom, nnd might be developed at Pennsylvania nnd elsewhere into still further usefulness. Nothing could have been more nntural or more fitting, for example, tho other day nt Pennsylvania's commencement, when the provost laid asldo his author ity to receive nn honorary degrco sig nalizing his laying down of his august office, than that tho vice provost should take his place ahd become by that very circumstance the acting provost. The vice provostship at Pennsylvania is a wise provision by which tho dangers of nn interregnum arc averted and n steady continuance is given to the ndmintstrn tion of the University's affairs. IN THE personality, too, of Dr. Josiah II. Penniman the University is par ticularly happy at this juncture. All Pennsylvnnians know nnd honor Doc tor Penniman. He hns been for long years so naturally, so honorably, so unostentatiously n part of the Univer sity that we have to pause to think how large a part has been nctually his. The Gownsman remembers him first as nn underclassmnu when he had not been long away from his native Concord, the home of Emerson nnd Thorenu. loung Penniman wns a studious lad and led his class easily. But ho was not with out boyish spirit. The Gownsman re calls a certain classic practical joke, which he is not going to tell here ; nnd to this dny ho is not qulto sure that the demure young Puritan who bat virtu ously in tho front row was not nt the bottom of it nil. THE Gownsman hns known Doctor Penniman since, ns a graduate stu dent nnd young scholnr in English of unusual promise, as an Instructor hold ing and inspiring his classes and ns n professor of that most difficult of sub jects to teach well literature, as dean of tho College, nnd now for years as vice provost, assistant to Dr. Edgar F. Smith. For n graduate thesis Doc tor Penniman chose nn obscure nnd dif ficult problem in the history of the drama In Shakespeare s time, known as "The war of tho theatres." This he elenred up, so far us the existing evi dences make clarification possible, and bis book on the topic with his subse quent writing on it remains tho author ity on the subject. With much else be sides Doctor Penniman bus since made the study of our English Bible espe cially his own; the Bible ns literature on the basis of a broad understanding of its history, its nrcheology, its ori gins nnd the like. In his recently pub lished work, "A Book About the Bible," the author lias contrived to give us a new portrait of this most famous of nil books, drawn so honestly, so under 6taudlngly and so far ubovo prejudices, theological or other, that Protestant nnd Roman Catholic, believer and ng- tiostie, have united to praise it, ONLY he who has tried tho double life of the scholur and the execu tive can know the compromises, the disappolnments, the adventure of it all. It is a time-honored piactice here in America for us to trnln a man to some highly specialized piece of work nnd then incontinently put him to doing something else. But It is nn abiding proof of the value of scholarship in n larger sense that nun thus specifically trained, like Provost Smith in chem istry nnd Doctor l'euniinon in English, are the stuff out of which to make ex cellent executives It was n loss to scholarship when Doctor Penniman bo caroo dean of the college, but it was n gain to the University. It was a still further loss to siholaishlp when Doc tor Penniman et largcd his usefulness and success iu his dennship into his larger usefulness and success as vice provost. University teaching nnd ad ministration seems the onlj one of the professions, hairing tho clergy, in which the old iden of giving yourself still re mains domlnaut Long may this con tinue, however to tho loss of tho in dividual, to the guln of education, IT IS with all this in view that the Gownsman feels impelled to congrat ulate the University on the succession of Doctor Penniman to the acting prov ostship of Pennsylvania. No man, Provost Smith excepted, knows every rivet and cog of the great structure so intimately and so well ; to no one is Pennsylvania' past history so open a book; none, oves her more nor lias served her belter nor in a clearer recog nition of hej needs.

CAPEN War an Eye-Opener as to Merits of Young Men From Straight Liberal Arts Colleges, Educator Declares rnHERE is n new nnd encouraging , tendency in tho technical institutions nnd courses to broaden the technical training by the introduction of more libernl studies. This is one of tho hopeful nspects of the higher educational system in this country as seen by Dr. Samuel Paul Capcn, director of the Amcricnn Council of Education. Through the work he has been doing for tho lost few years Doctor Capcn is in close touch with the life of tho colleges nnd universities. Tho council of which he is head Is tho directing body of the work and pinna of tho higher cducntlonnl institutions nnd is made up of the best trained nnd broadest educators in American col lcgiato life. "I believe in preserving the integrity of the liberal nrta institution," said Doctor Capen, "nnd I nm heartily in favor of tho present tendency to liberalize technical training as far as possible. "Tho war was an eye-opener on the question of tho merits nnd ability of the great body of young men from the straight liberal arts colleges. It proved beyond n doubt tho usefulness of a lib eral arts education and showed to tho world tho unexpected ndnptability of the nontcchnicnlly trained college man. Need Liberal Courses "One result of this hns been n move to break nvvny from the extreme special ization of technical and vocational training. In one sense of the word n purely technical course, no matter how fine It is, is not nn education. Our engineers and chemists nnd trained men need to be grounded in liberal courses if they ore to come to their best in the world. "Thero Is no doubt that the non- vocatlonnl colleges aro going to hovo a hard time holding their own in the next fow years and probably even longer. Tho technical and vocational type of training has an lmmedlato appeal that Is being heard on all sjdes today. It is n Rtrnnc anneal to the general nubile and especially to tho young, becauso to bo practically trained nnd fitted to go into tho world nnd mako a livelihood today is on nttrnctlve prospect. "In spite of this popular leaning, which is particularly evident nt this time, the need of a liberal education is just ns strong as it ever was. I do not insist that our young men should all study Greek and Latin. My point Is that they do need the Immeasurable advantage of a truly liberal training in the broad sense of the word. "If it were possible both on the or-nrn nf time nnd money, for cvorv young man who is planning to become on engineer or h vut.-imi. ur u uuHincsH expert first to complete a liberal course at college, I would say thnt ho should by nil means grasp the opportunity. He would be a better engineer nnd n finer man in tho end." Headquarters in Capital Doctor Capen, who is n grnduato of Tufts College and holds degrees from Harvard, tho University of Pennsyl vania and Lafayette, has his head quarters in Washington. Through tho surveys of the conditions nnd needs of tho colleges nnd universities mado by his bureau and through his constant association with college presidents nnd educators, ho is thoroughly familiar with another prominent, not to say per plexing, problem of education every where in this country tho question of professors' salaries. "The greatest problem before our col leges nud universities today is how to keep tho right typo of men in tho teach ing profession," commented Doctor Capen, "and if the situation docs not work out to n satisfactory end the re sult will bo that the best men will be driven from their chairs in the colleges and that men of parts will no longer come into the profession. Thousands of collcgo profeswori have already gone .T'fi S.t A..r DARNED SURE IT'S m!f into more lucrative callings, nnd n grcnt many more will follow if the situntion docs not change. "To my mind the solution of the problem will como when people realize the significance of the situation and what it will mean to the future of edu cation nnd the country Itself. Then the public will pay the professors what they arc worth and conditions will return to normal. "The question of immedinto snpport for professors' salaries is not one of chnrlty or nltrulsm, but of plain, hnrd common sense. When the public real izes this, nlong with the inefficiency of its present nttitude, there will be no 'salary problem.' Give Salary Increases "Larger endowment in many of tho institutions has resulted in increases in salaries of from 23 to fiO per cent. This sounds very well until we remember that tho cost of living has gone up 100 per ceut, nnd then it doesn't seem so en tirely satisfactory." The state institutions throughout the country mo better off than tho prl vatoly supported ones, because their support has been increnscd more nenrly In nccord with the great rise in prices, in the opinion of this nuthority. "The result of tho present con ditions is thnt tho state colleges and universities nro growing in power," explained Doctor Capcn, "nnd n num ber of stute institutions, tho Universi ties of Illinois Wisconsin nnd Califor nia among them, rank with Yale, Har vard and our finest eastern universities. "The eastern educators have been concerned for some years over the grow ing strength of the stato universities and now economic conditions have more or less brought nbout tho realization of their anxiety. One result of this will bo that the privately supported Institutions will hnvo to stress ccrtnln lines of de velopment nnd offer distinct ndvnntngcs In educational training of a distinct type. "It would be n calamity if the pri vately supported institutions should disuppoar, but I do not feel thnt the balance of power will even shift from them to the nubile colleges and univer sities in this generation. Tho pii vately endowed collcgo is more needed now than ever. Institutions of this type aro far better for the purposes of educational experiment and they nro far more frco from all outsldu and po litical influence. They are more inde pendent, less set in their ways and possessed of greater possibilities for new development."

The broken threads of governmental experiment west of Lake Baikal hnvo been taken un. the .wholo country has joined soviet Russia and Bolshevist rule Is absolute. Eastward of Lake Baikal, except in the Chita district, which Gen eral Scrncnov continues to dominate, there exists a so-cnlled buffer state dominated by tho picturesque figure of A. S. Tobelson, who, until July, 1018, wns a Chicago lawyer. Tobelson now is known as A. T. , Krasnofchekov. He writes English' statu papers and memoranda, Inter translating them into Russian. He has Russians who have been in tho United States as secretaries and calls the mem beis of his pnrty "the boys." Ho in; tcrvicwH himself nnd circulates the in? tervievvs in his own news service, Krasnotchckov arrived in Vladivostok in 1018 nnd went to Khabarovsk. Here, lie headed the Far-Eastern soviet, which was known as n moderate body. Being driven out of Khabarovsk when the In terventionists, including the Americans, advanced in August, 1018, Krasnofche kov wandered westward and ended up in prison under his assumed name in Irkutsk. Ho was freed last January,, when the social revolutionists ended the Kolchak rule hcic.
