vJSTdKES ABOUT SUBURBAN LIFE.

Now Is the time that the city man moves to
tbe suburbs to live if he intends to do 50 at all.
On his way out he meets a great many fellow
mortals coming in, who went out last spring, now
having in the majority OF cases, engaged houses
or fats somewhere below Fourtcenth-st; but this
does not deter him he is led on by beautiful
vision of q white COW on a green grass.plot, and
the sad experience of those who have found what
q hollow mocllery the vision is cannot change
him in his set purpose. Perhaps he intends to 90
into the country to live and commune with naturcI
and the COW for the summer only The question
arises; Is the summer the best time in which ~
live in the suburbs? 1t may seem 10 the reader
that there can be no possible question on this
point. but we think that there may be. In short,
il would not surprise if it could be proved that
the sensible man should live in the suburbs in the
winter and move to the city in the summer
II scarcely seems possible, OF course, that people
could have been making such mistake all OF
these wears as that OF living out OF town at the
wrong season of the year. though it certainly
looks as il they had when the matter Is examined
closely. Take, for instance, che item of mosqui
toes-they are at their worst in the summer True,
the low but deadly hum of the mosquito is heard
in certain parts of neighboring Stale which shall
no namcless. even in winter. but they are
comparatively harmless then and in most places
are unknown at that season. IL is the same with
malara-it is in the summer that it smtcs its
victims-in the winter it is usually frozen up.
In the matter of fresh air. which lures many from
city u country, the summer can bear no com
narison whatever to the winter. Any one who
has ever examined suburban air knows how much
fresher it. is in the winter than in the summer.
The country il said % be cooler than the city in
the summer, but this is a mistake and oEe rccog-
nized by no one So plainly as the suburban
dyeller who twice every day consumes the half
bour necessary to accomplish the ten minutes
walk from his house so the railway station
under the brolng sun and along the dusty road.
In the winter this walk becomes a delight. aud
gives new life 10 all who take 1t. So too, the
ride to the suburbs in the summer is hot and
dusty hut in the winter it is pleasant 1t is
in the summer that the suburban cellar becomes
filed with water and the refrigerator floats about

RrSSLA In BEHrING. SEA.

"Harper's Weekly" reprints from the " Jour-
nal de St. Petersbourg' an article dealing with
the Behrng Sea controversy, and assuming to
construe the Russian Northwest treaties OF 1871
and 1925 and to declare the value in modern
circumstances of the Russian ukases that pre-
coded those conventions. Om evening con-
Temporary, "The Post" is enraptuIed with the
Journals" utterances. They are based on the
British view that the freedom Of the seas I'M
plies the right to pinnder other peoples prop
crtv without hindrance if only it be done lar
enough away from the shore to escape cannon
shot, and that the treaties OF 1924 and 1870
modified the ukase of 1921 as to Russian do
mnion in Behring Sea. The POST IS never
so happy as when it can get something 1rom
foreign journal which is aimed to injure the in
tnrests of its own country, and snatchlng at
these statements it attributes them TO the Rus
sian Government and crows triumphantly over
the vay MIR. Blaine has been demolished"
To those who understand the present policy
Of Russia in the guardianship Of her seal-herd
and the sympathetic support she has given sue
cessively to Mr. Bayard and Mr.. Blaine in their
neootiatjons with Great Britain, it will be plain
on the face of the Journals" article that 1t
does not speak for NJ. de Glers. It's ooserVa-
tions with regard to international law IN rela-
ton to the freedom of the seas are entirely ac-
curate but as eX- Minister Phelps so ably de-
monstrated in his article III Harpers Month

| United States has never proposed to interfere
with the freedom of the seas nor to disturb ex-
| stine law in any way whatsoever. The right
| of q nation to extend its jurisdiction over the
| open ocean for lawful purpose is recognized

tised and is now practsed by England. 1t has
the sanction of all the accepted writers, for II IS

There is only single statement in the Jour
nal'sr entire article which affects, however re-
motely. our claims in Behring Sea, and that
statement is founded in ignorance. 1t assumes
that the treaties made by Russia in 1924 with
rs and in the succeeding year with England re-
lated n well to Alaska and Behrng Sea as to
the Northwest Coast and the Pacific Ocean and
assuming this, it remarks that Rnssias claims
of exclusive fishing rights in Behling Sea were
bv those treaties abandoned. The answer Il
this is that the controversy between our Gov
ernment and England on the one hand and
Russia on the other, aroused by the Cars ukasC
of 1921. related no more to Alaska and BehnnG

TILE SINE OLD SIORY.

If it be true that the defalcation of the late
president of the Ninth National Bank will not
have disastrous consequences by reason of the
banks great financial strength it is also true
that it raises again the old disquieting appre-
hension as to how far similar practices are going
on unseen and unsuspected. The defaulter in
this case is dead and the bank is still sound
Depositors will get their money, and nobody
will suffer except those vino deserve to suffer
But in this, as in almost every other instance
of wrongdong in a financial institution, the
moral is that the directors failed to do their
duty and the question so often asked and never
answered remains to annoy and perplex the
pubEc-how can those who are responsible for
the security of trust funds be compelled to dis
charge their obligations?
