HONORING THE MEMORY OF SALMON
1*. CHASE.
The dedication of a monument at Cincinnati on
Decoration IJuy to the memory of Salmon P. Chase
1. calls one of America's famous men who muile a
unique record. In .he course of his life Chase was
Governor of Ohio, United States Senator, Secretary of
the Treasury, Chief Justice of the United States and
twice a formidable candidate for the Presidential
nominaltion, once in a Republican and once in a
Democratic National Convention. Chase was originally
a Democrat a "Free Soil" Democrat. lie became a
Republican whi p that party was organized and was a
contender for the nomination for the Presidency
in the convention which finally selected Lincoln. The
latter appointed liinn Secretary of the Treasury upon
the retirement of Simon Cameron, and later named
him Chief Justice. His decisions there and his op
position to the ('• n.aro.-,eional reconstruction polity
made him a strong candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination in 1868 -and he would have
been successful If II had not been for the overshadow
ing position of (lov. Horatio Seymour of New York
in the Democratic Party at that time, who was nom
inated over Ills own protest.
The speech at the dedication of the Chase memorial
was made by Chief Justice Taft, who paid high tribute
lo the fotuer occupant of the office which lie now
holds. Chic f Justice Taft contended that time hud
vindicated Chief Justice Chase’s decisions which were
so severely criticized by the politicians of tile dom
inant political parly in the days of reconstruction.
REGARDING THE SO-CALLEl) “POLITICAL
PRISONERS.”
It is declared in Washington that tlie so-callec
"political prisoners" in Federal penitentiaries would be
pardoned Immediately if they would take an oatli to
support (tic Constitution and laws of the country or
express a feeling of loyally to tile Government. It is
raid they are being required to complect the full terms
for which they were sentenced because they refuse
to abandon their attacks on Hie Government or prom
ise to maintain peace and order if discharged from
confinement.
Under the circumstances those who have investi
gated c.it’i case believe that if released the prison
ers would take up plotting against lawful procedure
i nd endanger the peace and order of the country if
they were rolcas d.
In view of this statement, it would seam that the
action of the Government in disregarding the pro
testations in favor of an immediate and general jail
delivery is bated on a solid foundation.
KILLING N E MSP A PE RS.
Among his other achievements Frank A. Munsoy
has killed two of the inert famous New York news
papers, He killed the Morning Sun which had
chined in New York from the days of Ben Day,
ninety years ago. and throughout n glQrious
history under the direction of Charles A. Dana, when
he purchased the New York Herald. lie has now
killed the Globe, which, as Minerva, Commercial Ad
vertiser and (llotio, had been Issued daily for 133
years, and was llie oldest daily newspaper in the
metropolis. Thu Globe wa an evening newspaper,
and was recently purchased by Mr. Munsey from a
company crganiztd a few years ago by Jason Rogers.
Mr. Munsey still owns and controls three New York
daily newspapers, the Herald, a morning paper, and
the Sun and Telegram, evening papers. The lattei
was tlie evening ulition of tlie Herald before the
Munsey purchase.
New York now has seven morning and seven
evening general daily newspapers printed In the
English language. Chicago, w.hioh once had five
morning newspapers, mnv hag two. She still has her
four evening papers.
MAXIM GORKY. HIS ADVICE AND
AMERICAN DUTY.
Maxim Gorky Bays it is America's duty "to take
care of Europe.” After Mr. Gorky and other Social
ists, Communist r, HoUhevist», Anarchists and what
nots have been preaching about the iniquity of
America for years, trying to arouse revolution, class
hatreds and all sorts of strife in this country for a
generation, get their way in considerable portion of
Europe and sub.titut' .1 printed money for work, they
are asking America to feed them.
Amerlci has been feeding those of large sections
ot Europe and lias, according to the estimates of
Mr. Hoover, saved the lives of 50,000,000 of their
people, tint she has not done it out of respect for the
advice of tiie Gorky ,. Trutzkys, Haywoods and others
who did their utmost to dr troy America before they
wrought havoc ever there She lias done so for
she recognized tier duly to humanity no matter how
degraded the leaders whom the masses have chosen
to follow may be.
And What recalls that the real humans in the
world, those who recognize their obligations are those
Irho respect the property rights of those who work
» well as the personal rights of individuals—thel
class (hut Gorky, Sinclair. Trotzkv and (he oilier de
stroyers of civilization called "capitalistic."
If it were not for the pitiful plight that has
overtaken the poor, deluded followers of European
self-styled "reformers" and the helpless victims of
their purpose to gain leadership and loot without
work the people of the world would waste little
I sympathy on account of the situation in Central and
! Eastern Eorope.
Thank God that America is still American and
has not fallen for the iconoclasm of the lazy, selfish,
arrogant, tyrannical grouches, anarchists and com
munists of Continental Europe. Thunk God, tco, that
the great majority of those who have come to this
country from Continental Europe have been assimilat
ed and are American*, thinking, acting and working
like Americans.

Senator i-odge would, if lie could, cause is much
! worry for President Harding and his World Court as
I he made (or former Prosident Wilson and liis League
of Nations. The Massachusetts statesman made him
self very unpopular with the Democrats and now he
seems to he about to complete idle job my making
himself equally unpopular with the Republicans,
Admiral Sims' speeches relative to dm own peculiar
ability to solve everything and the general inefficiency
of everybody else reminds one of the Indian's reply
to a question as to a pioneer settler in ills neighbor
homi. The Indian said “he calls himself Honest Jthri;
watch him.”
Fifty Years of Social Work.
(New York Post.,
A tromenduos panorama is planned by the Na
tional Conference of Social Work in its review of aj
half century of social activity ait its fiftieth anni
versary meeting in Washington Phis week [third week I
in May]. Some important branches of philanthropic!
endeavor had been developed before the Civil War.
Prison reform, initiated in Europe by Howard and
Becearia and supported in America by such men as
Roberts Vattx, was vigorously undertaken early in
the century. Dorothea Dix had awakened the nation
to the need for better treatment of the insane. This
country, thanks to S. G. Howe and others, led the
world in the training of the deaf and dumb. Charles
baring Brace as early as 1853 had organized the
Children's Aid Society. The A. 1. C. P. was founded
in 1 843. Tenement house reform had its rudimen
tary beginnings in the thirties. But four-fifths of
the history of social work in America is its history
since tlie first National Conference of Charities and
Correction, as the organization was then called, was
held in 1873.
To the social worker Grant’s Administration seems
almost in the Dark Ages. Concerning justice, all
our elaborate machinery ot juvenile courts, women's
courtB, domestic relations courts, alienists, parole
systems, and indeterminate sentences remained to
be called out of the world. Education was still a
crude affair. A woman named Elizabeth Peabody
had Introduced the kindergarten as a private insti
tution, but no city was to risk adopting it for an
other fifteen years. Not for three years were the
public libraries to venture on an association. School
gardens, vacation schools, open-air schools, and voca
tional EchooU were innovations of the future. Half
a dozen years were to elapse before Cleveland segre
gated the exceptional children. Brookline bad just
established the first municipal playground. The first
training school for nurses was being born in Now
York. Public inspection rf milk was unknown,
and no mother bothered about pasteurization. School
nurses were still thirty years in the future. Elmira
had just taken up a plan for medical Inspection of
school children, hut New York City was safe from
it for twenty-five years more. The mosquito, fly, and
rjt flourished unaesailed. After a tremendous cam
paign New York had managed to pass her first im
portant tenement act In 1867, 'but a large part of
the town was still given over to fever-nest slums.
Rear tenements, without air shafts, sewage connec
tions, or bathtubs, warming with people and ver
min, their basements devoted to hog raising, shel
tered a large part of the people. Vice was un
ashamed.
The idea that charity should be discriminating
or "scientific" had scarcely begun to make a stand
in 1873. There was txsme talk of t.he work of a
charity organization society founded in Ixindon five
years before, but the first one in tills country was
unknown till 1877. It was to be another decade
before tlie settlement house was horn in England
end thirteen years before New York's first settle
ment. Nutrition work, neighborhood work, legal aid,
employment agencies, milk stations, shelters, tuber
culosis clinics, fresh air camps, and maternity aid
belonged to tlie future. Henry Uergli was just or
ganizing a movement to prdtect dumb animals. No
body was worried about child lalbor. If a workman
was injured on his job it was tough for the work
man, that was all. William Booth was an enthus
iastic young evangelist, but there was no Salvation
Array. The State Charities Aid Association for New
York 3iad just been incorporated.
To look back upon such progress In a half cen
tury is the best encouragement in facing forward.
The National Conference has many problems ahead
of it still.

j Parliament. If she fails there she can come over and
j join the "Parliament" American women politicians
' propose to set up in Washington. There will lie em

credited eggs at a radical meeting the other evening.
We don’t suppose W. Z. minded the ovation so very
much. lie’s somelhing of u "bad egg" himself.—

speech-making tour the country will feel like the

[ was suffering from all known diseases.—(Chicago

If a man has been accused of an atrocious action.
I like lo hear it isn’t true; I do not despise my
race us some seem to. and long for evidence of total
depravity.—(Howe's Monthly.)
Senator Brookhart says that what Judge Gary is
for ho is against. Judge Gary may not be right some
time, but it does not follow that the Iowa Senator
j ever will be.—(Pittsburgh Gazette Times.)
President Harding is certainly reactionary on ->ne
pont. He believes that campaign promises ought to
be lived up to. (Detroit Free Press.)
