Becky q Faker. After All.

Becky Edelson. the New York hunger
striker on Blackwells Island. proves to
be a faker. Having declared that she
would not eat while in prison. it has been
discovered that che has been secretly
nourishing herself on food supplies smug-
gied to her by friends. and SO the au-
thortties are not concerning themselves
regarding her condition and will not un-
deTtake forcible feeding as a means OF
preserving her life. Thus an opportunity
to demonstrate how America deals with a
self-starvfng prisoner. as a possible tip
to British officials. passes. Becky loses
her prestige as martyr and appears as
a buffer. 1t will be difficult to feel any
sympathy whatever for her, whatever
happens.

siderations have entered into this case
and that prejudice against an individual
because of corporation connections
should prevent his enrolment as a
member OF the government service.
No one has reason to doubt the Presi-
dents sincerity in his estimate of Mr.
Jones as a valuable. disinterested pros
pective member of the reserve board.
Mr.. Wilson's record on the subject OF
the trusts is clear and he cannot with
fairness be suspected of predictions
that would lead to the appointment of
a reserve board member capable of
utilizing his office for the advantage
of monopolistic corporations
The correspondence between Mr..
Jones and the President is creditable
to both men. The President is to be
excused for a certain sharpness of ex
preston regarding the partisanship
manifested in the Senate's treatment
OF the nomination, just as Mr. Jones
Is clearly entitled to his declaration
that he has been made the victim of a
distortion of facts and perversion of
truth"
Thus the Jones case passes into
American history. and taken as a whole

A Protest.

A man who was seeking to carry good
cheer
Once paused in the midst Of his song
And said. right out loud. where the
ueighbors could hear.
There's something decidedly wrong!
THE country is sweet and the zephyrz
are cool
And the blossoms are smiling and gay
And the cows are 30 free with the milk
as a rule.
That they're throwing some Of 1,
away.

the street
In the hope of a wandering breeze.
They hunger because they're too weary
to eat
And they toss through the night. III
at ease.
There are acres on acres of country sc
fair,
With the breeze blowing healthful and
strong!
There are billions of babies who need
the fresh air!
There is something decidedly wrong!'

Francisco Carbajal.
, Louisville Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville COurier-Journal.
Francisco Carbajal is romantic figure
in Mexico if his Mexican friends In New
York are to be believed. One of them
tells a special writer for the New York
Times that he is a bachelor who has
loved and lost a rich man who has
made his fortune honestly by practicing
law, a lawyer who, at least once. has
been known to renounce an opportunity
for enrichment by declining to accept q
fee 90 per cent larger than his judgment
told him 1t should have been. He is q
man trusted by every one. universally re-
spected for integrity and ability, inde-
pendent Of all political parties. leaders
and factions. He is not an offlce-seeker.
but a patriot. He is member of smart
society. but not snob. He is a glass of
fashion and mold of form. but not fop.
He Is the man for the place, the man
for any place, the man who wants no
place at all, but who can be called upon
to serve his country and relied upon to
do so.

An Old Leader Gone.

James ~ Richardson, who died at his
homo in Tennessee yesterday. had a long
service in the House. and WAS a promi-
nent figure there. He at one time led
the minority; and had fortune smiled on
the democracy then he would have
passed to the speakership. He was a
ready debater and one of the best par
liamentarians Of his day.
But fortune did not smile. The democ-
racy In the House was unruly. as indeed
IL was elsewhere. Capable as Mr. Rich
ardson was. he could not line up his men
effectively.
But there had been failures before him,
and failures followed him. Mr.. Bailey of
exas tried his hand as minority leader
and threw up the task in disgust. Mr.
Williams Of Mississippi had no success,
but exhibited more patience than Mr.
Bailey.
1t was not until Mr.. Clark took charge
that matters for the democracy in the
House began to look up. The man from
Missouri proved able to SHOW his party

probability it will be some years before

the individual European powers to permit

The Withdrawal Of Jones.

Inasmuch as Mr. Jones is unwilling
that his name should remain before
the Senate in nomination for the re-
serve board. the President had no
course open but to withdraw it. how
ever he may have regarded the fall
ure to secure the services of this man
for the responsible duties of the re-
serve board as a public misfortune.
Thus for the time at least is averted
serious issue between the President
and the Senate in the matter. in which
the formers insistence has been at no
time to be doubted. Credit for the
initiative in this solution of the prob
lem 10 to be given to Mr.. Jones. whose
letter to the President is a praise
worthy expression of appreciation for
the difficulties In the way and a will
ingness to sacrifice much for the sake
Of serving tho government in an Inn

Tho only objection raised to the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Jones to the reserve
board was that he was a director of
the International Harvester Company,
which has been brought under indict-
ment as trust. and for obviously Do

The Placing of Memorials.

Inc value Of having a commission to
supervise the emplacement Of public
ouiiolngs and memorial works of art in
this city is illustrated by the fact that
the nne arts commission. at its session
mere yesterday. had before it proposals
10 erect memorials to Alexander Hamil-
ton and Thomas Jefferson, with various
sites under consideration. The commits
sion has already expressed its opinion
that these memorials should be located
near the homes Of the departments with
winch the names of Jefferson and Hamil-
ton are respectively identified-that is,
the State and Treasury departments In
the matter of the Jefferson memorial
there will be no particular difficulty, as
the new State Department building will
doubtless be SO situated that there will
be plenty Of room for a statue or other
form OF memorial to the first Secretary.
But in the case of the Alexander HamiI-
ton memorial an obstacle is in the way
in the previous emplacement directly op-
posite the south entrance of the statue of
Gen. w. T. Sherman. There is no ap-
propriateness whatever between the
Sherman statue and the Treasury. and
unless the bronze ef1igy is removed to a
more suitable position there will be no
park room in the immediate vicinity of
the Treasury building for the Hamilton
memorial. Had the fine arts commission
been in existence at the time the Sher-
man statue was emplaced this lack of
relationship would doubtless have been
operative to cause the selection of an
other site. AS the case now stands the
Hamilton memorial. if placed with refer
ence to the Treasury building, must
either go on the north side, where there
is a considerable depression from the
street level. or on the west. between the
Treasury and the White House. where
there is no suitable vista OF view.
The fine arts commission can hardly be
expected to undo the bad work Of the
past in this matter of building and me-
mortal location. but it can at least pre-
vent further haphazard emplacements,
and there is reason to expect good re-
suits from its supervision. Not only in
the matter Of situation is this commission
likely to be of beneficial service. Its in
fuence is certain to be felt in the char
result Of its work Washington will prob
ably be relieved OF tho monotony Of the
bronze and marble efigies. whether
pedestrian or equestrian. which made the
public art of the capital SO drearily mo-
notonous during a period Of several
decades. The projected Lincoln me-
mortal is of a type to encourage belief
that we have developed a broader. higher
art sense in the commemoration Of the
deeds and services of the nations great
men. The proposed Jefferson and Hamil-
ton memorials should be designed in the
same spirit. offering something more in
spring to the eye than mere portraits.
something that will add largely to the
outdoor aspect of the national city.
