shall the Guy Not Uc Protected From
Its Omen Enemies?

To TIE Enron or THE SrH-Sir. Isn't
1t about time that New Workers were
aroused from the attitude of amused in
difference which they have assumed to-
ward the political attacks that are con-
stantly being directed against this city :
THE SuN, which more than any other
newspaper represents the true spirit OF
! New York and Is most jealous OF the
citys honor. prestige and traditions, can
perform no greater service to Father
kniclSerbocker than by urging his sons
to present IL solid front In meeting these
! attacks.
Not only has Il become the accepted
practice OF Cabinet members and Con-
gressmen TO Islander US. but they make no
secret Of their intention to cripple our
institutions, reduce our credit facilities
| and scatter our resources and business
Legislation to carry out these purposes
has been introduced and much Of It en-
| acted: In the operation OF the new cur
rency law and the income tax New York
is the goat" while every investigation OF
late has been conducted with the object
In view of discrediting some New York
institution.
When the official slanderer Of the Will
| son Administration made his Infamous
charge against New York banks, the
latter demanded, first, the publication OF
the evidence on which 1t was based. and
later, n Congressional investigation OF the
charge; both demands were rejected.
Another representative of the Govern
ment gave to the newspapers partly
false and entirely misleading statement
regarding "A certain financial operation
involving "A prominent New York insti-
tuition, and this statement was published
from one end of the country to the other
under scare headlines. The official ex-
PLANTATION appeared only after the details
of the first statement had been forgotten !.
IL was considered worth n stick" In a
few papers between here and Chicago, but
was not deemed sufficiently important to
carry west OF that point.
These are simply incidents in the gem
eral antiNew York campaign. but they
are very significant incidents; the more
so because they have been accepted by
so many people as matters OF course
What is New York going to do-turn
the other cheek to the enemy or fight
back? If the latter course Is to be
followed, first OF all let us SEQ to II that
the city Is represented In the next Con-
gress by some real New Workers. with
sufficient courage and intelligence to come
to the defence of tho metropolis when
II In assailed by the agrarian dema gogues
who for the time being control the ma
TONS affairs.
With the exception OF our distinguished
senior Senator and possibly one or two
Representatives. the members OF New
iorks present Congressional delegation
are not capable of meeting the situation.
In choosing their successors, which we
regardless of their political affiliations,
will be New York's representatives, in
