Mayor Moore is entirely justified in urging that the great international carnival be made n feature of the Sesqul-Ceutennial celebration.

PRIVILEGED MEN, BUT NOT A PRIVILEGED CLASS The New College Graduates Will Fall In Their Duty If They Refuse to Inter est Themselves In Public Affairs THEOUORE ROOSEVELT was elected to the New York Legislature within n little more than u year nftcr his graduation from college. This honor came to him because he had decided on graduation that he ought to Interest himself In the government of his countrv. He had no influential political friends, but lie joined the political associa tion in his district and showed n willingness to do his share of the party work. He showed such capacity for politics that within three years he was one of the Oelo-gatcs-nt-Liirgo from his State to the Repub lican National Convention, the other three being the most powerful political leaders in New York. It would be interesting to know how many of the young men now graduating from the colleges of the country hnve dellberntely de cided to take a practical and nctlve interest In politics after the manner of Roosevelt. If the colleges have been doing their duty there will be a large number. Government in the United States has suffered because too inoiij educated men have been In tbc habit of looking with contempt on politics. They seem to hac forgotten that the system of public education in the United States was organized in order to qualify the people for self-government An ignorant people can he Influenced b demagogues nnd is hos pitable to impressionistic theories based on fallacies. It v.tts in order to enable the voters tn study public questions flint it was early decided that every buy and girl should ue able at least to read and write The college were originally founded for training men for the learned profession and little attention was given to the study of the art of government. It wns assumed, if men thought of It at all, that this art could be learned by practicing It. As a result few educated men besides lnwyers have In terested themselves in politics, and the law yers hnve been politicians In many rases because they could thus bring themselves to the attention of the public nnd Increase their practice. There hnve been notable and bril liant exceptions, but they have mcrel served to cnll nttcntion to the prevailing rule. The Legislatures of other couutries are much more representative than those of the United States, for they contain men of all professions In large numbers us well as men who have devoted themselves exclusively to public affairs. There was a ruling class In England for years from which the holders of high office were chosen. They hud been educated for the duties they were to per form. They went to the universities with the deliberate Intention of preparing them selves for public service. They were well grounded in history, in International law and in economics, nnd at the same time they received Instruction In what are called the humnnitles; that Is, in the great literature of the woild and in the arts. No attempt was made to train men to make a living, doubtless because the great majority of the students did not have to trouble themselves with such matters. Their minds were trained so that tlicj could be used as an efficient instrument for use in mastering the detail' of whatever public duty presented itelf. So we find distinguished scholars in the Mrltish Parliament and men who have written great books on subjects alien to politics, jet the men are nil able politicians. The French Parliament resembles the Par liament of Cerent Itrltain in thi respect, for the nble men of the nation are summoned to the law-innUlng bodj to participate in the government of the country. Members of the French Academy, distinguished for th"ir achievements iu history, literature or science, sit beside politicians like those who make up the body of most American Legislatures, and they receive the respect that is their due. It is customary in America to sneer or the "scholar in politics." becnue It has too often happened that the scholar has dcvMed so much attention to scholarship that he has learned nothing about politics. Woodrow Wilson used to Iih olasfiPd in this wav be ( uqse it was not until he was fifty years old that lie began to give anv ottention to the prncticnl details of politics. Roosevelt, who wos ns much of a scholar as Wilson, never suffered from f his handicap. He might be a learned man. but the politicians with whom he dealt alwros knew that he wns a familiar ns they with the practical detail of political management and with the means- nccessnrt to tarry elections and to obtain the passage of laws. The American i oilers have changed radi cally within o generation, for they have censed to give almost exclusive attention to the work of preparation for a learned- pro fession tind are now engaged in preparing voung men to earn n living in business of one kind or another Courses In business administration arc ulTcrcd where there used to be courses m the Greek dramatists or in tnedleinl law Courses in hltorj and poli tics have In on enlarged, It is true, but the do not si'i'in to have hetn articulated with the life of tin- times Sii'-h gnMi-ning capacity as has been de eloped here has come about with little as.

IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE THE seventy-odd American organizations which hnvo been engaged this summer in adorning England with Washington me morials were probably aware at the outset that their gifts would be gratefully received. Had any doubt remained on this score it must hnve vanished with the assured pros pect of a division of glories In the very henrt of Britain, orlginnlly and exclusive! dedi cated to the genius of Horatio Nelson. George Washington In thnt Inmost lair of solid HrlMsh patriotism nnd conservatism Trafalgar Square Is a conceit inspiring re flections piquant or profound, according to the trend of individual American tastes. The thought, however, Is more than merely fanciful, for within n few days it I to he concretely expressed in a replica of the famous statue which has so long bestowed artistic distinction upon the Capitol of Vir ginia. Tho Houdon masterpiece, carved by n gifted representative of that very nation which Nelson gave his life to crush, is to be presented in reproduction by the State of Virginia "as an expression of its friendly sentiment for the country whose nntives were the first seftlerR of the Commonwealth." There is fine nnd true historical perspec tive In this sentiment, and the English are justified in accepting Its spirit. Nevertheless. Washington in the shadow of the Nelson Monument typifies not merelv that formula of Anglo-Saxon solidarity which banqueteers are so fond nf exploiting. The British mind hns been called rigid, but Its flexibility In this instance is marked. Memorial to enemies, whatever the course of history since the nge of their activities, arc not common nt the patriotic slirlnes pf nny nation Thp Anglo-French eutente, despite the bond of sacrifice which seals It, hns not yet produced n monument to Napo leon in St. Paul's nor one to Wellington In the Hotel des Tnvnlldes. Yet only n few weeks ago n bust of Wash ington was unveiled under the great dome of Tendon's cathedral. Another goes to the Town Hall in Liverpool nnd n third to Sul grnvc Manor, the home nf Washington's ancestors. The three memorials, nnd most of nil the fourth, which is to invade the snered pre cincts of Trafalgar Square arc emblem nt once of pence nnd of conversion. Thp latter attribute is signlficnntlv one-sided. To Americans, Washington is piecisely what he always wns. To the Englih. who hnve modernized nnd changed their view, the new vision is unquestionably hopeful. The pence which is based upon uch n measure of un derstanding 1 the pence that endures.

TITLE TO AN ENGAGEMENT RING XTOW that the season is approaching when -L ' eligible young men visit n summer resort at their peril thero will bo considerable in terest in the decision of Judge Lawrence, of the New Jersey Court of Common Plcn, that the propert right of a girl in nn en gagement ring ceases when the engagement is broken. The Judge ha ordered n girl to trturn n ring to the man whom she refused to marry after once consenting. It mny be admitted that it is not gallant for n .inline man to take Fiich a matter into court, nnd it mny be nrgued sentimentally that n girl should be allowed to keep all tho engagement rings he can collect ns evidence of tho fnscinalion of her charms Hut It seems that in New Jersey at nnv rate such sentiment has little standing in court. Hut all this mny be chnnged when the women begin to exercise their political power. It is not impossible thnt a voung woman may become n candidate for the Legislature on a platform proclaiming the right of n girl to all the gifts made tn her by a young man whom she has promised to marry, and denouncing the theory that when n man giie things to his fiancee he i not really giving them to her but merelv making n tempornrv transfer of their possession to her with the expectation thnt after man-lago he will get them back again The property rights of a woman are involved in this con troversy, nnd Its ramification am broader than would seem at first thought General Menoher mnv The Man and perhaps succeed in the Idea squelching General Mitchell, hut can he stifle the ideas General Mitchell voices' If aircraft can sink the most powerful now we ought to know It befote we go ahead ami build.

LOWRIE I CAME across nn English novel the other dny in which there was n strange doggerel version of "John Prawn's body lies n-molderlng In the Kruvo As we go marching on." It wns ns unlike the original as possible nnd yet still recognizable, though the Eng lish costers who sang It must hnve been quite Ignorant ns to who Johu Urovvn was or where ho lay burled. I sometimes wonder If most Americans know where thnt grave Is. It lies n mile or so off the great Adirondack motor road that curves over the mountains nnd through the notches between the Placid Lake region nnd that of foothills out toward Cluimplaln. Some of his farms nnd the first of his Negro settlements are still to be seen, much ns he saw them when he made his big experiment in thnt north country of settling his freed Negroes in the remote wilderness. If his nlnu had succeeded the Adlrondacks might hnve been the Llberln of this countr.i, n Negro Stntc. It fnllcd because the cliraars was too severe for the dnrk race. They died of tho very disease hundreds of white men hnve since found n cure for in thnt very climate nnd rcglun tuberculosis ! I suppose, here nnd there am Negroes who do weather nn Adirondack winter, but of the swarms thnt ore employed In the hotels nnd clubs in thnt country every summer, very few linger nftcr the tlrst severe frosts of a winter that lasts from the first of November to the first of Mny, with au even thermom eter for weeks on end of "0 degrees below zero. And I doubt If n sanatorium, however well disciplined, could successful! deal with Negro patients; in thnt cllmnte. there being something in the chemical pigments of the skin thnt arc calculated to protect tho body of the black man from heat and apparently make hiiri more susceptible to cold than men of fairer complexion. Indeed, the whole susceptibility of the Negro race to tuberculosis has been a matter to be tnken gravely to account by the de partments of health throughout the Northern Stutes of this country. The race evidently cannot endure close confinement within doors and must hnvo a great preponderance of sun and air to properly flourish. With eondltlons thnt are rigorous out of doors, tho tendency to hug the unventllnted warmth of housta lias marked hundreds of thousands of the race as n speriul prey of tubercular diseases. Tho whole question is a very serious one. I SAW not long ago n little printed letter of n child to his father: "Dear Father, our kitten has fits; whnt lo do?" Life has many such catastrophes that. end with the question mark, "What to do?" Apparently iu this one of tuberculosis among the Negroes, that blasted the plans of John Hi-own tnoro thnn half a century ago, we have still to look for "what to do," al though I sec from n report sent to ine from the Phipps Institute b.v Mrs. Millon Stein, the publicity director, there seems to be some promise of nn organized effort to do some thing that in the end mny prove effective. T HERE always lias been a tendency on the part of somo of the colored race to resent whnt Is culled .segregation. That is, the treatment or them us n race nnd not ns Individuals seems to some of them to enst a sort of obloqu.v on their citizenship; but in the case of physical Idiosyncrasies that arc purely physiological there must be special ized treatment. The same is true, I nm told, in racial tientment of neurotic and psychoputhic ailments. Certain well-defined tvpes of mental svmploms ure racial. A very exaggerated ego is u marked symptom in one race that in the same disease is not so emphatic in another. THE Henry Phipps Institute, in estab lishing n clinic for NcgrocN suffering from tubeieulnr and venereal diseases that is slight! different from its other clinics for the same discuses In white patients, wns moved to do so nftcr a long consideration of the subject nnd from purel.v practical rea sons. It was thought, and has been proved true, thnt Negro muses, nnd above all Negro doctors, would piove more effectual in vvoik- ing u hygienic propaganda among the fami lies of the colored tubercular patients than white nurses nnd doctors. Tills city begins to have n very long and honorable roll of colored physicians, and the two colored hospitals arc turning out good, up-to-date nurses. OF COURSE, ever thing hns to have a beginning and hns to begin somewhere. Tbc Whlttler Center was the place chosen by the Phipps Institute to begin the ex periment, und n nurse h the name of Tyler was the first expert colored nurse to carry out the treatment. This was in 101 L The experiment could not be called even ap proximately successful until Dr. Ilenr.i Mln ton, a very onpablo and niuch-likcd colored pbyslelnn, was added to the staff by the Phipps chief of staff, Dr Landi. Hy 1020 the clinic had three assistant col ored physielnns and two nurses Dr. Minton, Dr. Hoston nnd Ur G Snunders, physicians, nnd Miss Johnson and Miss Ernst, field nurses. All of thee except the Inst nre einploed by the Philadelphia Health Coun cil, the Wliittler Center still supporting one nurse, Miss Ernst, and the Phipps Institute partly subsidizing the djni" through the work of the head of the bureau, Dr. Lnmlis. It Is another cuse of private support of an enterprise thai, to be really successful, must eventually he undertaken by the Stute or the municipality NOW that the number of patients treated through this clinic dining a jenr mounts lo inorn than 10Q0 and the number of treat ments by visiting nurses iegters more than 'J000, nnd nothing but wider and wider utilization of the clinic seems to promise for the future, It becomes verv evident flint I lu work so ably begun nndu- private auspices must in the end he undertaken nnd sup ported b.v the raunlelpnllti The very best technwnl skill available bus been given the clinic tluough the Phipps Institute under Dr. I.nndis, ind the colored physicians of note have rallied in its sup port.
