Tn tbe present national crisis-the greatest conflict DE-
tween the legislative and executive departments u tnls re
public since the republic was born-in this Crisis every oi'iAeh
should commit the above paragraph to memory.
Does the constitution which Woodrow wilson wa =
10 "preserve. protect and defend say anything about com
pliance" with the presidential wish!
What the constitution guaranteed to the people was that
they should have the benefit of the best and freest Judgment OF
The senate without compulsion from any source least ol all
from the president. For he is DIRECTED by the constitution
and bound by his oath to- ADVISE with and obtain N ~
SENT of not merely a majority but two-thirds of that body
before he can bind the people to any agreement with any
foreign power on any matter Whatsoever
There is a bigger issue before America today than the
league of nations or the peace treaty; it is the preservation OF
government of the people, for the people, by the people.
The surrender by the senate, in the present crisis, of the
right to record its own judgment regardless of the presidents
wish, or any promises he may have made, would mean the
surrender of representative government at the behest OF an
autocrat whose leadership, after six years of trial, had been
already overwhelmingly ~repudiated at the polls.

The league of nations has become a secondary matter and
even the peace treaty. They are1of small Importance to us
compared to the bigger issue of whether the president shall

And if congress, then why moi also of the courts?

DID OUR BOYS LACK RELIGION?

According to a French writer one half of fhp American
%ioughboys have no religion but it is credited to them that
they know how to respect the religions of other people. No
religion, with such respect for others, may be better than relig-
ion without such respect. But why should the French writer
assume that those d%oughboys had no reigion"-did the writer
simply mean that they had not what he called religion and what
he may have been brought up to believe is the only religion?
We are all apt to suffer from that affliction of the ego. Tn a
world that holds many things worthy of belief we call those
"unbelievers" who happen not to believe what we ourselves
believe. A man may be a believer nonetheless for the fact
that he does not agree with as. The American bows. w ven
ture to say, had as much real religion in their hearts as those
who thought they had none at all. What they did and the
manner in which they behaved, especially toward women and
children, is testimony enough to this statement.

He Was Informed That There Wa

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sur-Sr: Ny
attention has besn called to two edi-
torIal articles In THE SUN in which ref
erence 10 made to the bill introduced
by me in the New York State Assembly
providing for two additional Judges Of
General Sessions.
At the time was requested to intro
duce this bill / was informed that the
ordinary ball case Is not reached fol
trial for more than a year, while si1
weeks ordinarily transpires before a
prison case is reached for trial. a state
ment which has since been verified by
further inquiry.
Aside from the injustice TO defend
ant who cannot secure ball in being
kept in prison for so long n period OF
time awaiting trial, such a situation
results also in injustice to the public
With the passage Of time witnesses dis
appear, their recollection dims and CON-
plainants are oft times persuaded not
to prosecute, with the result that when
the case is reached for trial a convic-
ton is impossible.
realize that the creation OF new
jrdgeships involves additional expense
to the county. but I, nevertheless. fee
that the facts which I have outlined
Justified the introduction Of the bill. and
your statement that there was nothing
In its favor in this bill'' is not justified.

Bayarla's War on BO,sheyism.

That the Bavarians should be slow
in embracing Bolshevism or commu-
nism, as LENINE has decreed that So
Wet rule shall be called on its intro
duction into central Europe, is moi
unexpected. The people of Bavaria
accepted the overthrow of the Wit.

therefor of a republic; they showed
no marked disapproval of the social.
ism adopted following the assassinA
ton Of KURT EIsNER but to this third
change In government the whole coun.
try outside Of Munich Is displaying
very active opposition.
One reason for this opposition Is
that Bolshevism is contrary to the
temper of the Bavarians and to the
religious and national traditions tc
which they have chung despite the
changes Of government. Except Nh
Mich and Augsburg, Bavaria has nc
large manufacturing centres. Tn Mn

The record Of FRANK w. Wool
woRTH's achievements Is not merely
the story Of Yankee business enter,
prise or American opportunity. 1t
Is the story Of ambition, courage and
persistent effort triumphant over pow
erty, environment and poor luck. At
81, when most youths with a genius
for business are coming out Of col
lege or getting on in their trade,
WooLwoRTH was starting, In the bus
mess he liked, as an >errand boy. AS
clerk, little later, he was failure.
The milestones in the business life Of
other clerks of his day probably were
rises of salary. His were reductions.
With all his work, by the time he was
20 he had saved only $50.
He entered business for himself
with timldity and scarcely any money.
The idea upon which he based his
I hopes for a livellhood-we may be
sure that the great tower Of Broad
way was not then in his dreams
was another mans idea. Even then,
with all his bitter experience, indus.
try, carefulness and faith, 1t took him
eight long years before the woods
were behind him and he could whis-
tie. He was no young Napoleon OF
finance, no favorite Of fortune. II
he dramatlzed the nickel and the
dime 1t was because he knew. from
intimacy with the scrimping life OF
the poorly paid clerk Of the '70s, how
much nickels and dimes meant to
most people. He believed that for.
tune lay, not in showing how little
could be sold for much, but how much
could be sold for little. He lived to
see his name a synonym for Yankee
notions.
He built his own monument. He
made II impossible for any stranger
to enter New York without hearing
the name of Woodwork. The immi.
grant knows first the Liberty Statue
and then learns the name of the
tower that lords 1t over the defiant
skyline Of the city. 1t Is the shaft
of achieved ambition, risen above the
horizon Of struggle.

PARKING THE CAR.
Automobile Owners Still Have Some
Rights in the Streets.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: I
am under the impression that already
there exists a city ordinance prohibiting
parking in certain sections OF the city
for longer than certain time. though
in many cases parking is permitted
indefinitely provided the car has a
chauffeur.
agree with our friend Pedestrian
that in the congested districts parking
has become nuisance. Possibly
Pedestrian" would have every car
owner. no matter for how long an inter-
val he were to stop either for business
purposes or at a friends house. to find a
garage somewhere within a radius of
from one to fifteen blocks, as the case
might be. and leave the car there dur
ing the time he was inside OF the bust
ness place or residence where he desired
20 go.
Possibly also the parking OF cars in
some section has seriously prevented
Pedestrian" from crossing the streets
at other places than the corners. II
seems too bad that the motorist should

He is certainly entitled to some con-
sideration on the city streets.
venture to say II our friend
Pedestrian" became the owner OF an
automobile he would within a very short
time become one OF the "nuisances' he
speaks OF. 1t all depends from which
side Of the fence you are looking.
l would like to call attention to con-
ditions at crossings where, although the
traffic in so far as vehicles is concern ID
IL regulated by city ordinance, tho per-
son on foot is permitted to do just as he
pleases. II there were an ordinance Ia
prohibit people from crossing the streets
where traffic policemen were stationed
after traffic policemen had signalled for
halt. there would be fewer accidents,
There Is no reason why pedestrians
could not be summoned for ignoring the
traffic policemen as well as the motorist.

The Three Tall Tower Builders OF
New York.

It Is a striking coincidence that the
three men who made 1t possible for
New York to have the tallest three
habitable buildings In the world
should have died within month of
one another.
FREDERICK G.. BOURNE, who died on
March 0, was at the head of the Singer
corporation when, dozen years ago,
It built tower surprising In altitude
the Ulm Cathedral and even the Wash
ington Monument. and exceeded In
height by no structure Of man except
the Eiffel Tower.
JOHN r. HEGEMAN, who died last
Sunday, was the master spirit behind
the construction at Madison Square
Of magnificent reminder of the
Venetian Campanile, in the form Of
an office building even higher than the
Singer building.
FRANK w. WooLwoRru, who out
lived Mr.. HEGEMAN less than two
days, outdid the others, at n cost of
$14 100000, with tower that chal-
lenges the clouds $50 feet above the
feet Of the Broadway throng.
Among them, these three men made
new skyline for the city. Each in
his turn expressed the spirit Of am
bilious America In form of COM
mercial architecture native To this
crowded island. Each. building mon
ument to his business, left n me-
mortal TO himself. These three men.
each of whom had built something
higher and more useful than the Pyra-
mid Of CHEoPs, vanished from earth
in the same order that their towers
rose; but the towers themselves. I'm.
likely TO be surpassed in loftiness in
this part of the world. remain as re-
minders of remarkable individual &C.
complishments and vision.
