credited with an adherence of bathing except in

Little girls, it has been generally understood, are

A recent incident in Brooklyn casts doubt on the
thesis that girls love cleanliness more than boys
The neighborhood and the Brooklyn police force
wasted no little time and effort in a search for a
seven-year-old young lady who ran away from
home rather than take the bath her mother had
prepared A full sized kidnapping scare gripped
the borough and was not alayed until the fugitive
was recovered at the home of relative upon

But after all perhaps the old tradition that girls
are more bathabe than boys was correct. Per-
haps the adventure of this daughter of Brooklyn
is no more than a juvenile manifestation of the

THE REFLEXl

THE first statement regarding Republican foreign
policy the Republican candidate has made
since his speech Of acceptance fell from his lips
yesterday:
I'VE will have a foreign policy II we sue
coed to the Administration. 1t is practical for
us to have hand where the peace Of the world
is concerned, because every great war has its
reflex. We have always been touched by ques-
tions OF humanity and by distress throughout
the world. and have gone to the relief Of
humanity in specific cases without involving
ourselves in foreign entanglements.'
How inspiring!
What a rallying cry of faith and progress for a
Nation that pledged itself to join other nations in
plan to reduce the probability of war, and that now
finds itself hanging, with Turkey and Mexico on the
outskirts of peace, while the plan goes forward
How does Senator Hardng's vague talk about
the United States being touched by questions of
humanity and distress" stand up alongside Gov
Cox's cleancut declaration regarding the League of
Nations:
LAS the Democratic candidate l favor go
ing in"
How do Senator HardingS Shtty efforts to evlde
the existing and available means for carrying out
national purpose that he does not dare repudiate
compare with the straightforward reasoning of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for
Vice President:
The League Of Nations is practical solution
Of practical situation. 1t is perfect
than our original Constitution-which has been
amended eighteen times. and will soon, hope,
be amended the nineteenth-Jwas perfect
1T is not anti-Natona II is anti-War."
Senator Harding has made his long -looked for
further uttera1ce on Republican foreign policy.
Does it carry comfort for patriotic League-de-
Tending Republicans like Mr. Taft'
every great war;" we are told Out of the Harding
wisdom, "has its reflex"
The Harding theory is that the greatest of alt
wars should have no more important reflex than
the carrying of Republican Senatorial group to
power in the United States.

FOR THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS AND cox.
tFOm Tho Evening Post }


The paramont issue in the Presidential compaign
is the Treaty of Peace and the League of Nations
with safeguarding reservations Shall America keep
faith with her partners in the war? Shall America
join with them in the only honorable and effective
way OF making peace with Germany? Shall America
enter heart and soul upon the work OF maintaining
the peace of the world as she did upon the task OF
winning the WARP
To these questions Gov Cox has answered Yes and
Senator Harding has answered No. II the Evening
Post, during the week that has elapsed since Gov.
CoXs speech OF acceptance, has held in allegiance its
declaration Of choice between the two candidates,
the reason was not that in doubt concerning
Gov. Coxs Affirmative stand on the Treaty and the
League We waited only to see whether Senator
Harding would hold fast to his policy of negaton.
Senator Harding has maintained his No to the
question of Americas honor duty, and ultimate best
interests. The issue is thus clearly Joined. The
Evening Post believing that 1t speaks for a great
mass OF independent American citizenship. pledges
its hearty support to the Democratic nominees, in
whom it sees embodied the highest aims and ideals

Clothing may be cheaper but not cloth! In that
event clothing will not be as much cheaper as it
could be if cloth we're also cheaper.
However it is not impossible that the Supreme
Court may reverse the opinion of the lower court
on the profteering charges against Mr.. Wood II

WHO MAKES THEM PARAMOUNT

n usual the early days Of the campaign have
"A developed a full and variegaed crop OF
paramount issues"
The League Of Nations Progressivsm, Wilson
ism, and other issues have been brought out and
paraded as paramount"
Leaders PROPOSE voters dispose.
Early suggestions are no more than trial horses
testing out the electorate.
American political history has shown repeatedly
the futilty of early efforts to state the paramount
ISSUE As the campaign develops the candidates
find that they must talk on the subjects which in
terest the voter.
Indeed there may be and have been campaigns
in which no paramount issue appears. Several
important issues are combined and the winner is
the candidate whose synthess OF these issues is
most satisfactory
The early view of the c. o. P leaders was that
the League OF Nations would be the paramount
issue. Candidate HardingS acceptance speech
evidently was modelled with this aim in view
When Candidate Cox showed his entire readi-
ness to accept this issue and carried the fight to the
very railing of the front porch, the Republican
leaders drew back and decided that "WilSonism"
would be the paramount issue, with the League
issue relegated to a subordinate place as merely
part OF wisconsin"
"Wlsonism," if presented with reasonable re-
gard for truth and accuracy would be an excellent
iSSue--for the Democrats.
Another issue which will not down is oigarchical
control of the Presidency by the ring, who, in the
words Of Hardings manager, put him over"
This is one of the issues which will not be
paramount" If the Republicans can prevent
~ But the managers may have it all their own
way in nominations. They do not and can not
dictate paramount issues. That is up to the voters.

GAINING.

IMPROVEMENT in the earnings announced by
l the |. R. T. lend additional point to the editor
ial in The Evening World last week, in which it
was suggested that the l. R. T. had failed to make
a convincing demonstration that more than a 5 cent
fare is necessary.
1t is true that earnings over and above fixed
charges are not yet large enough to pay 20 per
cent. dividends, nor even S per cent. dividends,
But business continues to improve, The l. R. T.
is noNlonger actually losing money There is
fair prospect that if improvement continues it will
soon be making moderate return.
Meantime the public remembers the 20 per cent
dividends of 1916 and 1917 and the t21s per
cent. dividend Of 1913 and takes the view that
marlborough stockholders should have saved a
reasonable proportion Of their income in the fat
years to tide over lean year or two.
By 1921 or 1922, If the recent improvement in
earnings continues, the l. R. T. should be back on
a dividend paying basis and earning such div
dends as are proper for a public utility which en-
joys so many municipal favors as does the l. R. T.

THE PAY-As-You-oo PLAN
What is known as the pay-as-you-
go plan was adopted by the city in
1914. It provided that for four years
an annually increasing proportion of
the cost of permanent improvements
OF the n-revenue-p producing class
should be betrayed from the tax
budget, and that in 1918 and there
after no bonds should be issued for
such improvements. In 1915 this
policy. originally ESTABLISHED by reso-
luton Of the Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment, was incorporated ia
the City Charter by act OF the Legis-
lature.
While this plan has thus far ma
terially increased the tax budgets, the
ultimate effect viii be large saving to
the city. 10 every dollar borrowed
on a AZ per cent. fifty year bond
$3.50 must be added as interest
charges before it is paid.
BY financing public improvements
from the tax levy instead of by means
of long term bonds, their cost TO the
city are one dollar for each dollar
spent, instead OF $2.69, 80 that in the
end the budget will be relieved Of
much Of its present burden for in
terest and sinking fund payments.
