THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

The Surest Step Toward the Longed-For fc'uture Brotherhood of Man By PROF. |ILBERT E. JENKS, in Dearborn Independent. LONG life, which is so essential, if nationalisms are to be built on memories, we have not had. Our American nationalistic memorise are only 150 years, while one-third of our people have no American group memories, but have come to America from groups most of which, in Europe or Asia, are, roughly, 1,000 years old. Another of our difficulties -is due to the fact that we are not a homogeneousjieople—either a single ethnic group or a well-amalgamated folk. We- are heterogeneous to the extreme. We have ho indigenous American language. America, unlike most of the independent nationalistic groups in Europe or Asia, has a borrowed tongue. And this English language which we commonly speak is, as yet, not so common but that millions of our residents cannot use or understand it. As to a nationalistic religion, we have none. The fundamental law of our land forever separates church and state. . . . When we consider the tremendous power religion has exerted in the civil life of peoples, the thoughtful man must ponder at the possible outcome of the* irreligion of America today. To offset our serious difficulties in the maturing of American nationalisms, we possess three dominant assets: The first is our geographic isolation, fortunately far from the historic hatreds and fears of . European groups. The second is a gripping environment, which eventually will make; us all Americans by breaking those who will not be made American. The third is such vital, idealistic hope for a realizable future in America as no nation before has held out to individual men. As Americans we are interested in the development and maturity: of American nationalisms; first, because we are confident that the ideals of our American nation hold a great wealth of unique blessing for her! citizens; and, second, because we believe the constant attempt to perfect her democratic idealism is the surest step toward the longed-for future Brotherhood of Man. A Feeling That There Is No Panacea for Modern Ills in Bureaucracy By CHARLES E. HUGHES, Address in Westminster Hall. The spirit of the common law is opposed te those insidious encroachments upon liberty which take the form of an uncontrolled administrative authority—the modern guise of an ancient tyranny, not the more welcome to intelligent free men because it may bear the label of democracy. , It is doubtless impossible to cope with the evils incident to the complexities of our modem life, and to check the multiform assaults of organized cupid-; ity, by the means which were adapted to the simpler practices of an earlier day, but we have an instinctive feeling that there is no panacea, for modern ills in bureaucracy. There is still the need to recognize the ancient right—and it is the most precious right of democracy—the right to be governed by law and not by officials—the right to reasonable, definite and proclaimed standards which the citizen can invoke against both malevolence and caprice. We of the common law respect authority, but it is the authority of the legal order. We respect those who in station liigh or humble execute ' the law—because it is our law. We esteem them, but only as they esteem and keep within the law. Diamonds From the Canadian Mines Scattered Widely by Glacial Drift By DR. GEORGE F. KUNZ, New York Mineralogist T have traced more than a hundred diamonds found in glacial drift in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. One of the diamonds found in America was a fine stone of seventeen carats, which was discovered by men digging a well in Wisconsin. More than 100 other diamonds have been found in glacial drift in America and some in Canada. Undoubtedly diamond mines exist in some parts of Canada, and by j closely tracing the glacial drift to the point of origin the general locality of the mines may be found. All of the diamond mines in the world today do not occupy an area of more than four square miles. In its southward movement the glacier must have gougeci out the top of the diamond mine and carried the diamonds about, depositing them | over an area of a thousand miles or more in diameter. 1 have no doubt that a diamond mine or mines of great value are to be found in Canada c — “It Is Only When Dead That the Artist Begins to Have Value” By SHERWOOD ANDERSON, in Century Magazine. We came here, or our fathers or grandfathers came here, from s hundred diverse places and you may be sure it was not the artiste who came. Artiste do not want to cut down trees, root stumps out of the ground, build towns and railroads. The artist wants, to sit with a strip of canvas before him, face an open space on a wall, carve a bit of wood, make combinations of words and ' sentences, as I am # doing now, trying to express to others some thought or feeling of his own. He wants to dream of color, to lay hold of form, free the sensual in himself, live more fully and freely in his contact with the materials before him than he can possibly live in life. He seeks ai kind of controlled ecstasy and is a man with a passion, a “nut.” And very often, when he is not in actual contact with his materials, he is a much more vain and disagreeable ass than any man not an artist could possibly be. As a living man he is almost always a pest. It is only when dead he begins to have value. t ■ ■ 1 '■■■ " r 11 "'" ml A Fortune Awaits the Man Who, in the Name * of Industrial Conservation—- — By PAUL THOMPSON, in Pure Iron Era.

The World-Flight Had Several Purposes

WASHINGTON.— What is the purpose of the world encircling flight of the American aviators? *s it simply a stunt to prove the courage of tae American flying corps? is it a challenge to the aviation personnel of other countries? These questions no doubt have occurred to many people as they have observed the progress of the trip around the world. The answers are to be found in the experience of aviation officials in both the army and navy with congress. For no matter what spectacular phases of the flight may be uppermost in the public mind today those interested in developing American aviation as a military weapon as well as a commercial Industry are gratified beyond words at the amount of attention the exploit has attracted. Hitherto congress has been more or less indifferent to the pleas for extensive appropriations made by the army and navy. The aircraft devotees have had a hard time of it since the war. They hoped that the air-mail service would stir up interest and make congress appropriate money to encourage commercial aviation. To some extent results have been obtained.

Hoover Would Save Unde Sam’s Fish

SOME time during the coming winter a series of conferences of state authorities will be held to consider ways and means of conserving and rehabilitating the fish resources of the coastal waters and inland streams of the United States. These conferences will be called by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who announced his intention at the annual convention of the United States Fisheries association just held In Atlantic City. Secretary Hoover has a definite plan for interstate conservation. He points out that the major problems, especially those with reference to fish in coastal waters, are not confined to a single state, but involve two or more states and cannot be solved except by joint action. Secretary Hoover's plan would avoid the encroachment of federal authority on state responsibility, and is based upon the constitutional power of the state to enter into agreements and compacts with the consent of congress. The restoration of a single great fishery is, in Secretary Hoover's opinion. of greater Importance to the American people in production and livelihood than half a dozen land reclamation schemes. And he presents some startling figures to show how

Pershing Is to Stay at the Capital

THE capital wit! still see General Pershing. The day of his retirement at the age of sixtyfour, in accordance with law, found him busy in his office as general of the armies and chief of staff. The single decoration which of the scores thljt are his, he wore on his tunic was the ribbon showing that he had, with hundreds of comrades of the war army, been awarded a Distinguished Service medal. Through the courtesy of Secretary Weeks the general will continue to occupy his present offices as head of the battle monument commission. Remaining, as he will, in the War department. he will be at hand to advise with Secretary Weeks or other secretaries ®f war. The last signa) honor paid,, the general as an active soldier was the issuance of an executive announcement by President Coolidge expressing the nation’s indebtedness for the serv-

Capital Recollections by the First Ladies

THE mistress of the White House makes history every day she lives there. But when she leaves, she writes it The wives of the three predecessors of President Coolidge have written, or are preparing to write or edit books aitout tbelr husbands or their own White House experiences. Mrs. Taft has giready written her memoirs. Mrs. Wilson, it is .understood, is engaged in editing Woodrow Wilson's letters | for publication in book form. And Mrs. Harding announces that in collaboration with an experienced biographer. she will begin Warren Harding's biography as soon as her health i permits. Press dispatches stated recently Mrs. Harding had been offered >200.000 by a syndicate to write “The Story of Warren G. Harding as Told by His Wife," and that she had agreed to un ! dertake it on guarantee that every word would be printed as written. According to report, the syndicate balked at this, fearing she would speak her mind upon some things that would be

Unde Sam to Study Up on Live Stock

A WANT felt for years for a suitable place to study and solve the problems of the western stockman has at last received attention. The Department of Agriculture and the Montana experiment station are preparing to tackle some of these problems on a huge scale. The old Fort Krogh military reservation at Miles City, Mont, was recently transferred by congress to the Department of Agriculture for “experiments in stock raising and the growing of forage crops in connection therewith." The station is considered ideal for the purpose. It contains 55,(MJO acres of grazing land and 2.000 acres of irrigated land. Its geographical location and topography will make the results obtained useful to many sections of the country. Railroads and the Yehowstoae trail cross it The reservation is being gradually changed from » military camp tat® an agricultural experiment station. Hay that was used ts feed cavalry horses is now being harvssted for beef cattle

Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, ths chief of the army air service, said: “The purpose of this flight Is to demonstrate the feasibility of establishing aerial communication with all the countries of the world, the practicability of travel by air through regions where surface transportation does not exist or at best is slow, tedious and uncertain; to prove the ability of modern types of aircraft to operate under all climatical conditions; to stimulate adaptation of aircraft to the needs of commerce; to bring before the people of the world the excellence of American products in the interest of our American aircraft industry, and lastly to bring to the United States the honor of being the first nation to fly around the world.” From the viewpoint of national defense it now has been demonstrated that a hostile nation can come across the ocean with airplanes and Zeppelins. The air service will urg£ that a program of defensive aircraft be an important part of the military and naval expenditures of the United State* from now on. The world flight has shown that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are no longer impassable barriers and that isolation is not so comfortable as it was before the days of dirigibles and airplanes.

we have been destroying and wasting our fish resources. Salmon has disappeared entirely on the Atlantic coast and have been diminished one-half on the Pacific. The sturgeon fisheries of the Great luikes have declined 98 per cent in 40 years and are almost gone on our coast. Shad fisheries have declined in their yield by more than 70 per cent. “The fisheries are the most precious of our primary food supplies," says Secretary Hoover. 'They will become more precious In the future. Our aggricultural expansion is rapidly approaching its limits and our population will double. To protect the industry is an obligation to our own generation;; to maintain it is a primary duty we owe to future generations.” Congress passed a law at the last session controlling oil pollution of coastal waters by oil burning and oil carrying ships. Congress also has passed the Alaskan salmon fisheries conservation bill under which the government has stopped the destruction and started the rejuvenation of those fisheries, and the upper Mississippi fish and game refuge bill by which the streams of the upper Mississippi will be preserved for the breeding of flsli and game.

too full of dynamite to handle. With ♦ reference to these rumors a personal letter from Mrs. Harding said: "There is no truth in the story that I am to write a book on ‘Warren Harding as His Wife Knew Him.* Some time later, in collaboration with an experienced biographer. I hope to prepare a biography of Mr. Harding, but do not know when* I will be able to undertake the work." Fabulous offers have been made Mrs. Wilson to write her story. It Is understood. however, she so far has declined, preferring to give the world Woodrow Wilson's own version of important phases of his administration in personal letters which he wrote friends and foes alike. Mrs. Wilson's predecessor. Mrs. Taft, still retains her social-official leadership at the capital as the wife of the chief justice of the United States Supreme court. Her book. “Recollections of Full Years,” is a valuable contribution to the history of the executive mansion as well as other phases of official life.

Sheets, assistant chief of the animal husbandry division, who recently spent several weeks at the new station organising the work, reports excellent progress made. Two com plete hay-making outfits were purchased and 800 tons of alfalfa hay were made and stacked. Two silos were built; and a pumping plant that pumps water from the Yellowstone river was put in operation in order to protect the buildings from fire, to ir rigate the crops and provide water for the live stock. Plans are under way to stock the station with beef cattle, sheep, hogs, horses, turkeys. Many changes have taken place In the West since the days of the pioneer cattleman and abundant range. Stockmen have suffered great losses in trytng to adapt their methods to these changes. These losses have been felt changes. These losses have been felt.
