SALVAGING AN INCUBUS

TT HAS been no secret that the wave of
: indignation which followed the Ger
mans perfdious scuttling of the Scapa
Flow feet was succeeded by a sigh of
relief. Despicable as the act was. it
seemed to dispose of a puzzling inher-
itance of the war. The intricate problem
Of what to do with the German ships
was accepted as solved.
And now large part of that embar
RAISING squadron bobs up again. Nine
teen vessels have already been raised
including the great battleship Baden.
The salvaging of an incubus is quite GER
tain to impose its penalties.
Even a well-meaning Fate develops its
/ determined opposition nowadays.

for an expert and intelligent approach
to all of the problems that continue to
harass the people. It was supposed that
the Council would bring to the ques-
tions of transit and water supply hous-
ing and sanitation, streets and traflc'
the police and the fire organizations, the
port and public works generally, some
thing like an advanced and scientihc
view
But if the latest returns from yester-
days primaries are not misleading II
may bring only the narrowminded self
interest of old-fash shioned ward leaders
1t may be that, with the evidences of
better general consciousness revealed,
as it was revealed yesterday, we can af-
ford to let the new Council run wild
for few years
1t will be an enormously expensive
alternative for intelligent voting. But
in the end it ought to prove efficient.
The narrow margins in yesterdays
primaries made one thing clear. The
reform sentiment isn't thing that can
he whooped up for election periods. It
is a slow growth 1t gathers momentum
year by year. rather than day by day
There was nothing hysterical in the
opposition with which the Ware organi-
cation had TO contend in the greatest
fight of its existence The sentiment be-
hind Congressman Moore originated in
a general impaticncc with the abuses
of boss control and a gradually inCreas-
ing distastc for the practices Of gangs.
That feeling was not limited to the ele
mcnt which considers itself superior. It
was general all over the city.
Congressman Moore, if he is elected.
will havo a clear road. He represents
the sort Of thing that the majority of tho
people unquestionably desire at City
Hall. even when it hasn't the energy to
obtain it. 1t is upon Judge Patterson,
however. that immense responsibilities
would rest if in final count he won over
Congressman Moore. The people are
generous in their judgments They have
half humorous. half hopeful belief in
election promises. They go along, SEEM
ingly, with q patient belief that some
dav or other they will be startled by
candidate who. after he gets in Office,
will keep his promises to them.
Judge Patterson polled large vote
chiefly because the people liked him. He
assumed a position in which he was
forced to depend upon this sentiment to
continue a political condition that is
obviously not beneficial or desirable. He
could be a good Mayor if he would be a
courageous one. Any man in the Mayors
office can DO an incalcuIable service to the
people at large by being their alert rep
resentative in all affairs that involve the
new Council during the first years of its
existence. His criticism and his advice,
his aertness and ability to discern flaws
might serve to make the people aware
of their opportunities under the new
charter in order that at some future
election they may actually establish the
ideal Council as it was provided for un-
der the new scheme Of municipal admin
stration.

have been sufficiently matured to en-
able the direction of affairs to be re-
sumed by the permanent staff Henry
p. Dawson, being in Paris when the
armistice was signed, summoned a
conference there of the heads of all
the Red Cross Commissions in Europe
to canvass the situation. After con
sidering all the factors it was con
Guided to make the transition on
March l. The very fortunate choice
of DR.. Livingston Farrand as the new
chairman of the Central Committee,
and thereby the permanent chief ex-
ecutive of the Red Cross, makes posi-
bic the consummation of this plan un-
