THE THEATRE TICKET TAX
Return Made by Democrats for Polltl-
cal Support In the Past

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: The
theatre people fall over themselves 10
serve the Democrats in national cleo
tons When the Democrats get the
chance ;ney reply as they do on the 20
per cent theatre ticket tax.
The theatre people should remember
this and redouble their energies for the
Democrats in l920i
Why tho theatre people incline to tho
Democrats Is hard 20 see. The South
Ia against New York and New England
and the middle West In every taxation
move, and In those SECTIONS are located
three-quarters OF the important theatres
The film may some day drop from tho
eyes OF the theatrical interests. and then
they may secure the correct view-that
the most that is good for America In
business legislation comes from north of
the Mason and Dixon line. and not from
the Claude Kitchins ct al.

or the 1920 enemy aliens who were
interncd in this country after we went
to war, more than half were merchant
sailors. taken from ships which tied
up in ports OF the United States early
in the struggle. The others were resi-
dents of this country who never aban-
doned their German citizenship. The
project for their deportation, embodied
in the bill reported yesterday by the
House Committee on immigration will
be generally approved by Americans.
The merchant sailors were here
through no desire Of their own, but be-
cause OF the accident of their ships
presence in United States waters when
their Government assailed the world.
Some OF them are said to be anxious
to remain in this country. but the
proper thing TO do with them Is 70
send them home. The enemy aliens
who do not fall into this category are
likely to have as unpleasant a time in
remodelled Germany as they would
have here.

SO treated In early youth, would be
In khaki, or in navy blue, decorated,
a veteran of the war; II may be that
he would be an essential man In an
essential industry, with well cared
for bride somewhere near. Indeed,
with proper treatment. he might have
grown into n quite ordinary fellow,
whom nobody would fear, and who
would pay his taxes like any other
respectable man.
Certainly. II GEORGE REILLY were
to-day useful citizen, the State
would be better Off than 1t is, for he
is a type, and once the State learned
how to treat him 1t could apply the
methods to others, and save great
deal of effort and energy now wasted,
or worse than wasted-energy and
effort put to criminal purposes, rs well
as energy and effort used to thwart
criminals.
To-day. we suppose, the Tombs, to-
morrow the State prison, for GEORGE
REILLY. He Is now thoroughly, hope
lessly bad. He Is SO bad he Is tired,
and where else can he go? Where
else, indeed. can the State afford to
put GEORGE REILLY. 81, nine years Of
his life spent in penal institutions,
than In n penal institution? Yet
some time in his life he must have
been fit for something else besides
Jail; and the task of the State Is to
find out, not for his sake. for he is
finished product, hut for Its own
sake and the sake Of other George
Reillys, just when that time was and
what should have been done.

1T seems long jump from
potash to perfume This is not an
aphorism by SHAW or CHlSTERToN.
but by ]. OGDEN ARMOUR. lie was
talking to the Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce of the
House of Representatives and reply
ing to the declaration of the chair
man OF the Federal Trade Commits
sion that when big concern rami-
fies into other fields to the detri-
ment OF legitimate business 1t is time
to call halt" Mr.. ARMOUR, as
many are aware, Is connected with
Chicago's favorite industry. He en-
joys the negative distinction of not
having sent steak to noted Rep
resentative. although he has for sale
steaks. hams and, as was limited at
the opening, potash and perfume.
knowing that there was curiosity as
to these latter twain, he described to
the House committee the why and
wherefore of their sale.
Potash. 1t seems. is not n by-product
of the stock yards, nor is 1t manufac
turei by Mr.. .ARMoUR's company or
any Of its auxiliary concerns. But 1t
is "a logical business associate of fer
tilizer materials 1t Is the brother
on the farm of phosphate and ground
bone and other stock yard fertilizers
that are nothing to be shifted at. IF
we expect success In marketing our
own fertilizer materials" says Mr.
ARMOUR, I'VE must handle it,"
Why perfume? Well, 1t has been
discovered that many persons who use
soap, rs well as many who evidently
do not use II. go in for scent. Soap is
natural by-product of the packing
industry. Perfume, says Mr.. ARMOUR.
Is n necessary supplement to 81 line
of toilet soaps. Our soap business
would not meet with great deal Of
success II we refused to handle per.
fumery." The difference between pot
ash and perfume. SO far as Mr.. AR
MoUR is concerned. is that he buys
and sells the potash while he makes.
in an auxiliary plant, tho perfume d:
but. as he remarked at eNe hearing
"inasmuch as fertilizer aid soap are
! offsprings Of the packing industry.
potash becomes the cousin of perfume"
just as Potash became the partner
of Perlmutter.
"By similar commercial re,r-
ton Mr.. ARMOUR continued, "a
violin bow becomes cousin To the
paper label on a tin can" The House
committee must have sat up at this.
But it IS all very simple. The strings
! from which ELMAS and the other
fiddle magicians pull waves OF Neli-
ciouS sound come originally from the
stock yards. Catgut should read cat
tie gut. The marketing Of musical
strings led the Chicago packer to
market "the logical associates of mu-
steal strings, and that Is how we hap
pen to have violin bows for sale"
AS for labels for tin cans. the pack
ers print them for themselves all the
time, and when the season Is not
rushing they print them for other
business houses.
Mr.. ARMoURs testimony is good
! illustration of Yankee enterprise and
OF the INTERVIEWING Of various lines
Of industry. After this nobody will
he surprised If some glass magnate
explains why his house is selling
feather boas. Glass, mirrors, women,
ornamentat!on. The connection Is al,
most as simple as Mr.. ARMOUR has
shown 1t to be in the case OF stock
yards and perfume.

But Could They BE Made to Drink

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir: What
is the matter with the anti-prohibitlonists
making a clamor for new amendment
TO the Constitution, whereby laws could
be enacted TO compel every prohlbitionit
to consume certain amount of alcoholic
beverage every day or every week?
Would such law be not just as logi-
cal as the proposed law denying to free
citizens the right to drink or eat what
they please? WouLD-BE FREEMAN.

George Reilly, Who Longs for Jail.

In one Of the City Magistrates
courts this week n professional crimi-
nal known as GEORGE REILLY was ar
raigned on charge of having bur
glars tools and n revolver in his pos
session. The offence Is a serious one
the man was held in bail for trial in
General Sessions. To the Magistrate
he said:
I'm tired, Judge want to go away
for a while"
This incident would have been de-
pressing enough under any circum-
stances, but the fact that GEORGE
REILLY is only 81, and that nine of
those twenty-one years have been
spent in penal institutions, makes of
GEORGE REILLY public character to
stir the sympathy and arouse the
fears of even the least emotional.
GEORGE REILLY has never been any
thing but criminal, 1t seems. At the
age when other young men are just
beginning to enjoy the full rights of
citizenship he Is confirmed law
breaker, and when he IS tired he
wants "to go away for while"
which is the underworld's euphemism
for going to Jail. He cannot get rest
outside OF prison; for him freedom
means ii constant unsuccessful strug-
gle to keep hidden, to win hard liv-
ing by thieyery, TO dodge the police
to stink away from honest men when
he is not able to sneak up behind
them 10 rob them.
What can be done with GEORGE
REILLY?
The State has done its best for him
already, and that best has made him
what he is. We take 1t that the State
first put him in a reformatory, and
reformed out of him whatever good
harsh life may have left of his
original nature. Then the State
turned him loose, and let him go his
own way to the devil until that way
crossed the law somewhat ostenta-
! tiously. When this occurred, the
State locked him up again, only to
turn him loose again, to lock him up
again, until 1t now has him behind
! the bars once more.
Meanwhile GEORGE REILLY was
costing the State and its people
money. The taxpayers had TO put up
for his keep, his lodging, his clothes.
when he was in prison; the unfortu-
nate citizens whose homes he robbed
bad to pay for his keep, his lodging,
his clothes. when he was at large
GEORGE got mighty little out of it;
neither in prison nor out of 1t did he
live on the fat of the land. Yet we
dare say that II all he has cost were
Jumped together It would make a
snug sum.
Perhaps GEORGE REILLY was men
tally deficient when the State began
f. its processes of development on him
Perhaps he was physically wrong
then. Perhaps hospital, not n penal
institution, was the place for GEORGE
REILLY when first the State laid its
corporate and bungling hands on him
Who cap say that course in sani
tarium, an operation by skilled sur,
gcon, treatment by a trained alienist
might not have been better for GEORGE
! REILLY than n course in Jail and the
ministrations of keepers, whose trade
is to maintain order, not TO seek ou
causes?
1t may he that to-day, instead oi
! being In the Tombs, GEORGE REILLY

Transatlantic Flight Soon.

There is no doubt" Col. Bishop told
the assembled fiers, that In the next
six months a transatlantic flight will be
a reality. The manufacturers of Eng
land all are trying to complete a machine
in which they will be able to make the
first successful crossing. The Handley
Page people. the Whitehead and the
Vickers Company are building big
planes. and two other firms have entered
the competition, but are keeping their
work secret in the hope OF beating the
others. The Vickers machine will be enor-
mous-of a size never before heard Of
There are many small one engined
airplanes that could make the flight also.
The airplane engine has reached such
efficiency that | would be willing to make
the flight myself with a single engine.
Either the Rolls Royce or the Liberty
motor would do. l have not tried the
Liberty motor. but from what l have
heard of 1t am sure 1t would stand the
test"
Col. Bishop said that the commercial
possibilities of tho airplane have been
realized SO fully in Canada that several
companies will be organized in the next
year to supply passenger and freight
transportation.
The thing that has been holding back
this development he thinks. is the lack
OF any rules OF the air. which will be
necessary before aerial transportation
can be started. He cited the one in
stance OF customs difficulties, but said
said that he felt confident that any avia-
tor could circumvent frontier guards at
any time. and particularly on a cloudy
day.
1T will be possible In a short time.
believe, to call up an alrplane garage
and get an air taxi with the same ease
with which one now calls for an auto
mobile" he said. IAN air line between
Montreal and Toronto will cut down the
passenger time from day to three
hours. and one will soon be started"

Valuable as Forest Patrol.

One OF the most valuable uses OF the
airplane he said would be In watching
for forest fires. This already has been
proved practicable in British Columbia,
and he thinks 1t will be only a short
time before 1t will be extended to cover
the entire forest area of Canada. Sea-
planes will be used. so that they can
land on the many lakes and rivers, for
other good landing places will be mighty
hard TO find. Forest air guards can
carry chemical bombs. which can be
dropped on the fire and will extln-
gulsh it.
The reception 10 Col. Bishop was
planned not only as a tribute to his dis
tinguished achievements in the war but
