Millions for Garbage

Alderman Quinn wants to know
what happened to s1,soo,000 Of the
S3,ooo,oOo appropriated in the 1919
budget for disposal of ashes, garbage
and rubbish. BY June 30 only few
thousand dollars remained 'unex-
pended. To date the total amount
authorized, including the budget ap
preparation, is $4,000,0o0. There is
no mystery as to what happened to
the $1,SOO,0O0. 1t went to contract
ors as part of the S4,oo0,000 spent.
Despite the expenditure of $4,000,-
900 in ten months, the 1920 budget
contains only $3,000,0O0, so that once
more a false face is put on budget
appropriation. How does the Mayor
expect $3,OO0,O0O to suffice for all of
next year, when it barely sufficed for
half of this year? The additional
cost will be met by the issue of reve
nue. bonds, redeemable out of the sue
ceeding years tax levy, so that 1920
costs are met in 1921. Such shifty
tactics are born of hope to hood
wink taxpayers. There is, however,
no reticence about presenting the
bill.
Street Cleaning Commissioner Mac
Stay probably would much rather
see the honest amount appropriated,
so he would not have to scurry
around for additional funds, and it
is a mistake to blame him for an
underappropriation made by the
Board of Estimate in the face Of the
figures he presented. In the boarC
the lone advocate of q larger appro-
priation was Comptroller Craig.

Alone With Our Dead

The mortal remains of Ill Ameri-
can soldiers who died or we're killed
In Russia were yesterday reverently
landed.
A sad Homecoming, even sadder
than when the bodies of those who
fell at Vera Cruz-to what end was
never revealed-were brought back
for burial. No one has explained
the Archangel expedition any more
than any one has explained the Vera
Cruz expedition The boys were
never told whether they were en-
gagged in the invasion of land with
which we were at peace, or were de-
tending the great cause amid snow
and ice.
For the comfort of relatives and
friends, as we'll as for the instruc-
ton Of the public, it would be we'll
TO have the mystery cleared away.
Are there not at Washington those
whose hearts are gracious enough to
testify to the truth-namely, that
though the war was not authorized
by Congress, and though we have
drawn back from the performance
of a difficult task we were justly en-
gagged in conflict with the Bolshevik
power for the same reasons that we
were justly at war with Germany?
In half-forgotten document
called the fourteen points is state
ment to the effect that the worlds
attitude toward Russia furnished
the acid test of the integrity of the
worlds professions. The phrase was
true one, and it is regrettable to
be compelled to admit that the test
mas not been endured. The setting
up of an arbitrary power in an i'm
portant nation is not opposed. By
our inaction we consent to the estab-
llshment Of an anti-democratic
tyranny There is even talk of enter
ing into friendly relations with it..
Much lip allegiance has been given
10 the league of peace idea; but
can one imagine stronger case for
intervention in the interest of civili-
zation than Russia presents? Yet
we look on officially unmoved. A
great fire, destructive of civilization,
as we understand it, RACES, but the
iremen sleep on. There is open
proclamation in Russia of an intent
to conquer and to substitute force
for law and might for right, but
nothing is done. Worldly wisdom,
of course, suggests abstention from
application of league principles to
Russia. Russia is a difficult coun-
try to penetrate, and perhaps it is
better to allow her to work out her
own redemption.
But prate not of obligations to the
world and leave us alone with oul
dead.

WASHINGTON, NOV Io.-lncerua-
tional customs differ widely, as any
international gathering will show.
Certainly the international Labor Con-
ference Of the league Of nations, now
in session here. brings the cruel truth
to light.
1t is not possible to take viva
so many of the European delegates
cannot understand that method. Ef-
forts to vote that way were abandoned
early in the life of the conference.
All voting now is by show of hands.
In the second week OF it's life the
voting proceeded easily, but it was
not so in the beginning. At the out
set when the chair asked those in favor
Of proposal to raise their right
hands many who wished to record op-
position thought the proper way to
accomplish that result was to raise
their left hands. Rights and lefts
would go up together.
Mrs. Olivia Agresti, interpreter for
the Italian labor delegate. is easily
the star performer" of the confer
ence Mrs. Agresti was for IL num-
ber Of years private secretary to David
Lubin. AS an interpreter Mrs. Agresti
has no equal in this gathering.

Of education to recover pay for one
week during which she was suspend.
ed last February on a charge Of in

Corporation Counsel Syme and As

ment of Attorney Paul E. Lesh for the
teacher. They upheld the legality of
the action of the board and contended
that a hearing as provided in the
organic act was not necessary in a
mere disciplinary matter.
They pointed out that the courts
had sustained the broad discretion Of
the board of education in the admin
istration of the schools. and urged
that the rules relating to suspension
had been passed by the board in the
exercise of his discretion, and their
action was not renewable by the
