"The Most Effective Advocate"
We quote from a political speech
made in Texas on Friday by the Sec
rotary of War, NEWTON d. BAKEH:

We quote from a political speech
made in Texas on Friday by the Sec
rotary of War, NEWTON d. BAKEs:
Tho most effective advocate of
the League of Nations Is ex-Presi-
dent TAFT, whose speeches have been
eloquent in its behalfi
Mr.. BAKER seems to Have neglected
to go on and tell his audience what
Mr.. TAFT thinks about the Wilson
covenant, which is the real issue OF
the moment. Mr.. TAFT wrote in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger on March
Z these thoughts about the Wilsonian
draft-that document which the Pres
dents supporters confuse, ignorantly
or maliclously, with the general pur.
pose Of league OF nations:
Undoubtedly the covenant needs
revision. 1t Is not symmetrically ar
ranged. its meaning has to be dug
out and the language Is ponderous
and in diplomatic patois."
THE covenant should also be made
more definite as to when its oblisa-
lions may be terminated. It should
be made more definite by a larger
reservation OF the Monroe Doctrine"
There are other ambiguous
phrases. One OF these. for instance,
Is in respect to the Executive Coun-
ell. Will It need a unanimous vote.
or will majority vote be sufflcient
where there is no specification"
1t Is quite true that Mr.. TAFT has
been a supporter Of league Of ma
lions. but his advocacy of the Wilson
covenant has been of kind that Mr.
BAKER and other idolaters do not
quote verbatim.
The evils seen by Mr.. TAFT In the
Wilson draft are so great that If Mr.
TAFT were Senator in Congress II
Is scarcely conceivable that he could
vote for that draft.

The Charity Organization Society Ap.
peals for Money for Its Work.

To THE Eprrop or THE suN-str: The
Increased cost of everything has ia
creased the expenses of the Charity Or
&c nization Society for rendering service
and material aid to families in need.
The society is now caring for 1850
families. The number of families who
are in trouble because of the death or
illness of the breadwinner Is greater
than usual and unemployment IL begin
ming to add to the burden.
Every one recognizes the force Of the
appeal OF the Red Cross for help for
the families Of soldiers and sailors. The
State helps the needy widows of citizens.
The widows Of aliens and their children
must rely on voluntary assistance. The
families that seek the aid OF this So
ciety need an effective presentation of
their claims because there are few TO
speak for them. We must therefore ap-
peal with all the greater diligence on
behalf Of those who might otherwise be
neglected.

POEMS WORTH READING.


The lindens step so gently up the hill,
Like ieisursd. stately danes of long ago,
Waving their fan lesved branches 70 and

They gossip of the rushes and the rDl,
whether the breeze has paid the roses bill
For perfumes which he lsvished on bee,
And II the linnot in the locust tree
Triiis love songs to the pink or danodn.
And when the silver moon slips slowly by
To keep her tryst with some awaiting

Their green procession he.ves an envious

And vows she isn't rnaidenly or proud.

Higher Traction Fares Anyhou.

New York's traction problem has
to be solved not merely for the bond
holders and stockholders of companies
now bankrupt, but for the general
public, which, to earn it's living, must
get to its work and back again every
day. Neither cheap politics nor eco
nomic nonsense can solve this prob
lem. 1t can be solved here, as It has
been solved generally throughout the
country. only by giving the companies
fare that will support them.
The people of this city are not
fools. They know how much more
their food and clothes cost them than
before the war. They know how
much more their rent and coal cost
them. They know how much more
their amusement costs them-how
much more they have to pay to live
ON this earth. They know just as well
that the traction company has to pay
more for it's labor, more for its coal,
more for its equipment, more for its
general supplies, more for taxes, more
for everything.
This newspaper for one has not a
shadow of doubt that the New York
public, which must have a first class
service to move around our great and
Intricate city, is prepared to pay what
Is necessary to get such service. Other
cities have been compelled to do this.
Nobody imaglnes that New York can
escape what has been unacceptable
elsewhere.
The political element which is de-
liberately man9uvrlng for municipal
operation here doesn't question the
cold fact that there must be higher
fares. 1t contents itself with declar-
ing that If the fares are increased the
Municipal Government must operate
the local roads and collect the higher
fares.
1t all comes down, then, to a ques-
ton of what the public shall pay and
what kind of service the public shall
get for what it pays.
The traction managers declare that
for the companies to be able to make
q living-and If they don't make a
living their service can't be satlsfac-
tory-they need an eight cent fare.
We don't know about that. 1t may
be that less than an eight cent fare
would do it, It may be that an eight
cent fare would not do It. But there
IS one thing we can be sure of after
the spectacle of Government opera.
ton oY the national railroads. 1t is
that If the private manager of street
railways can give good service for
eight cents the Municipal Government,
operating the traction companies,
could not give a good service for ten
cents, perhaps could not give even a
poor service for ten cents.
There are going to be higher trac.
ton fares anyhow. The question Is
do we want reasonably higher fares
and good service, or do we want
unreasonably higher fares and a bad
geryice? For municipal mana cement
by all the tests of Government opera
ton. couldn't give a good service. II
could run the costs up enormously
Just as it did in the case Of the munic
ipal ferries. 1t could send the ser

ferries. 1t could not fill the Job.

In upper air his honk Is heard.

Between the lands of sunny mirth
And desolats domains OF dearth.
Men eagerly await his wing.

The promise of q better thing.
And yet despite the record known.
Despite his many journeys fiown'
He gains no wisdom Of his own.

that the sixty-three organizations do

coordlnated, administered in such
way as to avoid duplication of work
and placed under an executive en-.

be administered. Such coordination
would be difficult, he admitted, but it
was accomplished in the Belgian re-
