Lifting a Boycott

The people of Peru became involved in
a revolution few weeks ago. President
Ardo was arrested and deported. A
provisional government was set up by
Senor Roberto Leguia, former Presi-
dent. This proceeding was In fragrant
disregard of the celebrated "house rule"
Of our State Department. which forbids
revolutions in Latin-American countries.
A government coming into power through
violence, as Leguia's did, Is penalized un-
der this rule, by non-recogntion.
Explaining the departments attitude
said the other day that SO far as the
United States was concerned the Tinoco
regime was legally non-existent." And
because of this fiat by Mr. Lansing the
Paris peace conference refused to admit
Costa Rica to the list of the powers
which had both severed diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany and declared war
against her.
PERU, after Leguia's coup, seemed des-
tined to pass also into the limbo of
illegal non-existence," so far as the
United States was concerned. An edict
of accommodation from the society of
nations has been momentarily expected.
Yet somehow the thunderbolt has not
fallen. Secretary Lansing is apparently
weary Of the role Of grand excommuni-
Gator. He issued on Friday notice that
the Leguia revolutionary government
had been recognized by the United States,
in accordance with the international
precedents which used to be honored be-
fore the Lansing anti-revolutionary
"house rule" era.
That famous bylaw is now apparently
itself outlawed. If the Peruvians are to
be permitted to exercise the privilege of
revolution, how is that privilege to be
denied to the Ecuadorians, the Para
guayans or the Venezuelans? How. also.
is Costa Rica any longer to be ostra-
cized for having presumed to depose one
President and install another by forcible
methods?
When Mr.. Lansing welcomes President
Leguia to the Presidential chair in Lima
will not his conscience compel him to
send note of apology to Tinoco, convey
ing to the latter the assurance that the
State Departments boycott against
Costa Rica was an error of impulse, now
repaired by broader experience and
soberer reflection?
New-York tribune., 1919-08-31
Political Prohteerinp

Apparently not discouraged by his
recent fiascos, Mayor Hylan, as if to
help Hearst to ambush Governor Smith
because the Governor refuses to be
bridled and saddled, has resumed the
writing of threatening letters.
This time the attack is on Commits
sioner Nixon for granting fare in
crease to a suburban traction company.
The company is under contract to carry
passengers for five cents, but unchal-
lenged testimony shows it is unable to
pay operating expenses So it purposed
to quit, and at the request of a popula-
tion which did not want to walk or to
pay the high rates the government COL
lects from Long Island passengers a
fare increase was authorized.
The Mayor asserts that the action is
illegal; the Commissioner that it is
legal. Obviously the only place where
this issue can be settled is in the courts
but instead of quietly starting a suit the
Mayor resorts to abusive letter writing.
The public grows weary of four-hush-
ing 1t sees plainly enough what is in
the minds of those who talk big things
and do nothlng-is tired of the political
protteers who would capitalize public
dlstresses to their personal advantage
A contract is contract and should
be respected, but many litigant has
gone broke trying to recover from a
bankrupt debtor. So it is not enough to
quote franchise provisions. The oues-
ton is as to whether public utility is
10 stop. Some one must operate it, and
private company cannot be induced to if
there is steady loss. Is the city pre-
pared to assume the burden of q five-cent
fare by meeting operating deficits?
is this the plan of Mayor Hylan? If
SO, why not plainly say SO? If he would
give to those who dwell on Long Islands
North Shore service costing the citv
SIX or seven cents for five cents. and
make up the deficit out Of the city treas
ury, let him apply to the Board of Esti-
mate for the necessary appropriation.
He need scarcely fear that the traction
companies will be landlords who will ask
high rents for the use of their property
AS long as the Mayor lodges the main
issue the public can hardly escape the
opinion that his concern is to make a
noise and appear to be friend of the
people rather than to be one

Towns That Died
From The Hartford Uouront)


Western papers tell their readers that the
town OF Emerson, Okla, is shortly to
be thing forgotten. 1t was mapped ont
as a townsite shortly after the TERRITORY
was opened for settlement and the pro-
moters had dreams of a metropolis. In 1907
the plan was abandoned and now the District
Court has been asked to vacate the land for
townsite purposes, when what might have
been town will become farm land,
The story of Emerson suggests what cana
near happening to a Connecticut town in
the beginnings of the colony. Those inter-
ested in it showed rare sense in their choice
OF a site and in their dreams planned not
for town but for city. Hampden and
Cromwell were to be among its citizens. the
cream Of England, SO its promoters boned
were to become its citizens. Fate ordered
otherwise and the early days of this dream
town are remembered now largely THROUGH

A Social Incident
(From The SAM

Mayor Hylan, according to "The Evening
Post" has invited Mr.. William R. Hearst to
take prominent part in the reception of
the Prince Of Wales when he comes to New
York next month to be the citys guest,
What Mr.. Hearst might be expected by
some people to reply to the Mayors invita-
ton to participate is about like this:
II decline to be connected in any way with
the reception of this amiable young futilty
who is now on exhibition in Canada and is
soon to be shown to gaping snobs in America
II decline, because I regard this Prince
OF Wales as nothing more than AN ordinary
boy sent over here to display princely rank
to our social and literary snobs and tuft
hunters"
Our hypothesis that such will be Mr..
Hearst's reply to the Mayors invitation is
based on the fact that this is the precise
language regarding the Prince of Wales
winch MT. hearst's newspaper, 1.-THE New
York American" has employed within the
present week in berating "The Sun" for its
attempt to say few gracious things about
the young man who, as the representative
OF his nation, is soon to be New York's puest
and about the young mans grandfather,
Edward VII, whom this town had the pleasur.
OF entertaining fifty-nine years ago.
Inc somewhat unpleasant alternative be-
Tore Mr. Hearst is therefore plain He will
either adhere to the foregoing sentiments
and refuse to participate in the citys enter
talnment of the Prince of Wales. or he v;],
dlsciaim personal sympathy with such boor-
Ism expressions and will withdraw them like
gentleman, and will send for the author
thereof and administer to that indiscreet and
scurrllous person the severest wigginp ~

like fool in Mr. Hearst's newspaper about
the city's guest
