A One-Way Avenue

NOBODY VIII 1eel much cOnndence
that Fifth Avenue as one-way
street will be much less destructive
of life, limb and reasonably speedy
shopping than Fifth Avenue as it is
to-day. The present condition of the
thoroughfare approaches the impos-
sible, and any device that offers re-
lief deserves trial.
The rapidity with which the con-
gestion Of the city's shopping and
amusement areas has increased is nne
of the most extraordinary changes
in our town as its older inhabitants
know it. The "Save New York"
movement is in PROCESS Of working
very considerable relief in side
walk congestion by removing a large
number of pedestrians, shopwork-
ers, to other factory quarters. Even
so, the density Of walkers along
Fifth Avenue in the heart of the
shopping district will be very great
and will go on growing. From curb
to curb the situation is even worse
The old days Of open spaces and
leisurely broughams and horse
drawn "stages" vanished decade
and more ago. Traffic is an almost
continuous stream now; and it is
sorry joke on the inventiveness of
man that actual travel along the
avenue is slower, much slower, to-
day, in machines capable of going
thirty or forty miles an hour, than
in the stately horse-drawn equip
ages of older and less populous
days.
We cannot hope to have New York
become again the dignified and equa-
BILE spot it was a generation ago.
For good or i'll it is the metropolis
of America, and larger crowds Of
outlanders throng its hotels and
streets and shops and theaters
every year Not only the steadily
increasing population of the city it.
self but the vast and swiftly grow
ing nation it serves is responsible
for the peak of density that is New
York. Had we round city instead
of long and narrow city the prob
lem would still be serious. Perched
on the tongue of land that is Man
haitian Island, the city will need it's
best thought and foresight, Of
transportation, Of traffic regulation,
ultimately Of city planning upon
detailed and elaborate scale as yet
unconceived, to prevent our metrop
oils from choking itself by it's own
density of success.
Traffic regulation cannot do every
thing, as the tedious business of
getting home in motor car from a
theater demonstrates nightly--peo-
pie trusting to their own legs and
Mayor Hylan's hated 1nterborough
do far better. But it does a good
deal and 1t prevents many acci-
dents to pedestrians. In fact, the
improvement in Fifth Avenue for the
pedestrians who must cross it is
bound to be no small consequence of
the one-day project All New York
will watch the experiment with the
greatest interest. The fate Of Fifth
Avenue involves the fate of the city
and much Is at stake in the plan be-
side the comfort or convenience Of
the few motor passengers immedi-
ately affected.

Sees Republican Disaster
To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: 1t has without doubt occurred
to you that a most serious situation
has arisen within the ranks Of the
Republican party over the suspension
Of the Ave Assemblynen.
In this part of the state, which Is, as
you know, strongly Republican, the
action Of the Speaker is most strongly
resented; the women being particularly
outspoken. Now, unless the unwar-
ranted action on the part of Sweet is
utterly and absolutely repudiated, and
he is eliminated from control of his
despotic rule, the party will certainly
jeopardixe its interests most seriously
in the state as we'll as nation.
1t seems to the writer that the most
prominent as we'll as most influential
newspaper in the East, If not the

After Rolshevism, What?

A favorlte argument of those who
have labored for Bolshevism while
pretending aversion to it is that if
the world does not coddle Leninism
then other countries would become
Bolshevist- This contention is first
cousin to the contention of sneaking
pro-Germans who said that if Ger
many were not convinced she was
to be "crushed" then she would
be stimulated into fiercer resistance
and that hence the 'bitter-enders'
were prolongers Of the war and
friends of the Kaiser.
Happily, events made uncouth the
propaganda point Of the sneaking
pro-Germans, but it's relative still
survives. If Lenine is not recognized
and his soldiers fed, then, it is pre-
dicted, the disseminated elsewhere
will rise. 1t is assumed masses of
men are SO ignorant that, as rem
sdy for bad conditions, they are
ready to make them worse 1t is said
that all except stupid reactionaries
see this, and that hence the afore-
said reactionaries are the true pro-
Bolshevists
The theory may be checked up by
consulting the news which has come
out of Hungary. There, after a
brief period Of democratic rule, the
experiment Of going Bolshevik'
was tried. Bella Kun became dicta-
tor and his band Of "Red" assassins
ruled. What is the result? Real re-
dictionaries have come into power
and have been strong enough to
secure plebiscite in favor of a
restoration of monarchy. The
election was probably "rigged, but
it is significant that Huszar dared
to carry through his undertaking.
After Bolshevism, what? A reac,
tion proportionate to the intensity
of the Bolshevism. What happened
after the French Revolution has fol.
lowed in Hungary. If the Sparta.
cides had secured control in Ger
many tho Kaiser by this time prob.
ably would be back on his throne. II
is by no means improbable that the
outcome in Russia will be some sort
of czarism. Indeed, Lenine is z
czar, and if he were expelled from
the Kremlin and another tyrant pu
in his place the old regime nigh
easily come back. Bolshevists anc
Bolshevist sy1npathizers are tn,
friends Of reaction. If one thing !,
clear in history it is that althoue}
men love liberty they feel the neee
Of order more. 1t has not been b,
accident that in Athens, in Rome i,
Paris, and now in Budapest, tn,
despot has risen with public consen
after periods of protracted disturb
ance.

An Emphatic Protest

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho attitude Of The Tribune
on the expulsion Of the Ave Socialists
from the New York State Assembly is q
keen disappointment to many admirers
Of that usually prescient paper. Urged
by sense Of obligation as this coun-
try approaches what may prove to be
register an emphatic protest to tho q
believe) misguided detection Of SO
powerful leader.
Socialism stands to-day dlshon-
ored and dishonest ouscast, It's hands
foul with the stain Of revolution and
Bolshevism, of which, If not an actual
accomplice, it Is at the least an &C.
cessory after the fact. 1t should be
ground beneath the heel Of outraged
Americanism until every vestige Is de-
stroyed, or until every unholy and i'm
moral element is unequivocally purged.
Why does The Tribune, which took
such an active part IN crushing hyphe-
mated Americanizing, and which all but
forsook the Republican candidate of
1915 because in a negative way, by re-
fusing to say what all good Anne ericans
were longing to hear, he seemed to
palliate that scourge, follow him now
in even q halfhearted support Of far
greater menace?

used here, refers to the general con-
ception Of government which underlies


ception Of government which underlies
the Constitution itself and upon which
it was set up. This conception was
arrived at in a philosophical review of
the struggles of the human race to
handle itself in conflict with a number
Of obstreperous influences, chief
among which has been (and still is)
"human nature" Of course, being q
human institution the Constitution as
thus founded and set up is imperfect
and what it's full effect is or should be
will always be in debate; men will
differ and dispute about it in and out
Of court, sometimes bitterly and some
times with the utmost hostility.
The effort to find in the Constitution
or in the law rules or precedents for
or against the action Of the Assembly
will reveal just one thing, and that is,
1t has the right to proceed as it is
proceeding. AS to the position in
which the excluded men find them
selves, they have not yet satisfied the
rest of US within the scope of the pro
lection of the Constitution and our
laws. If they belong to creed or cult
which is innimical to the Constitution
and its fore-ordinating principles, the
door shall not Re open to them, and all
within will insist on their exclusion.
1t is simple question of fact. Do they
like our house? Then let them sit at
jhe council table. Are they bent on
disruption or are they servants of an
outside enemy? Then keep them out!
At least keep them away from our leg
islative bodies. Nor let them enter by
any subterfuge or oaths with foreign
fealty reserved. 1t is a simple ques-
tion of fact unhampered by a single
rule or principle of government, ex-
cept rs above described, and the AS
sembly is best able to handle it.

A Lame Explanation

Senator Lodges explanation touch
ing covenant questions still in dis
puts is not calculated to strengthen
the tactical advantage with him since
the President wrote his no-compro-
mise letter; the Senator comes close
to presenting himself as an imitator
Of the President and borrower Of
the Presidents unfortunate spirit.
The controversy has been appar-
entity reduced to two points and
these not Of major consequence. The
first relates to the Monroe Doc
trine. Both sides agree that the
reservation shall say that "the
United States shall not submit to
arbitration or to inquiry by the
assembly or the council Of the league
of nations any questions which, in
the judgment Of the United States,
depends on or relates to its long
established policy commonly known
as the Monroe Doctrine =.
Inc said doctrine is hereby declared
to be wholly without the jurisdiction
of said league of nations"
If this language does not amply
safeguard the Monroe Doctrine then
the words employed have lost their
usual force. Surely there is no need
to express third time an idea al
ready expressed twice, by insisting
on the additional words that "the
doctrine is to be interpreted by the
United States alone"
The other question in controversy
relates to Article x. Again it Is not
discoverable that there is anything
material in dispute. The form Of
reservation submitted by Mr.. Taft
declares that no obligation to guar
antee territorial boundaries is
acknowledged unless in any par
ticul2r case Congress shall recognize
the obligation. The President will
thus not have power to put the
country into war, and this meets
the objection raised to Article X as
drawn.
Senator Lodge has scarcely as
good right to be stubborn in be
half Of his language as has Senator
Hitchcock in favor Of his. Sena-
tor Hitchcock comedies the reserva-
lions and practically accepts the
contents Of those written by ma
5ority of the Senate. In view Of
this he may we'll be allowed the
privilege of modifying the phrase
ology.
A ajority Of Republican Senators
have voted Tor the ratification Of
the treaty. They have strenuously
denied mAneuvering to defeat it.
Thus 1t Is difficult to understand on
what basis of reason they can refuse
to close the debate by accepting the
offer which has been made. Their
party will have q serious task in
the campaign if it is compelled to
appear before the public as the
treaty killer or even rs partly re-
Bponsible.

A Week of Verse
The Treasure Box
fFrom The NeV Stotssmun)

A mn in chill moonlight unIocks
Her polished, brass-bound treasure
box,
Oraws a soft breath, prepares TO spread
fhe toys around her on the bed.
She dips for luck, by luck pulls cut
A silver pig with ring in snout,
Ihe kind that Christmas puddings yield;
Next comes painted nursery shield
boy-caved; and then two yellow gloves.
A Limerick wonder that Ann loves,
Leather so thin and sewn so well
The pair fold in one walnut she'll.
Here's patchwork that her sister made
With antique silk and flower brocade.
Small faded scraps in memory rich,
joined each to each with feather stitch;
Here's cherry and forget t-me-not
Ribbon punched in great knot;
A satin purse with psnsies on 1t,
A Tudor princes christening bonnet;
Old Mechlln lace minutely knit,
Some woman's eyes went blind by it;
And Spanish broideries that pinch
Three blossomed rose trees to the inch:
Here are AIMS brooches, simple pins.
A Comet brooch, two Harlequins.
A Posy; here's a great resplendent
Dovein-bush Italian pendant:
Chelsea gift bird toy whistle:
halfpenny stamped with the Scots
thistle;
Breguet watch; coral string;
Her mothers thin-worn wedding ying:
straw box filed with hard smooth
sweets.

1t is not necessary to humiliate
any one. Speaker Sweet, it is to be
assumed, acted from patriotic mo-
tives. He was hasty, it is true, but
fair men will recognize that in so
far as his action has led the Social
lists to be little clearer in their re-
pudiation Of the force doctrine he
has contributed to desirable end.

FIND WEALTH IN WINTER
Canadian Farmers Turn Winter
Months to Good Account.

Large crops and good prices for the
wheat oats, barley and flax from Ca
madam farms have made the winter
resorts In California at times resemble
meeting of Canadian farmers in
stitute, but the practice among sue
cessful farmers Of spending their win
ters holidaying seems to be ON the
wane. After all, nothing can be more
tiresome than having nothing to do,
and the farmers of Western Canada
are now finding winter employment
right on their farms which rivals the
attractions Of the sunny South.
Live stock is the explanation, ac-
cording to a six-foot Westerner who
dropped into the Canadian Government
Information Bureau at 81 Jackson
street, st. Paul. He was on his way
back to Western Canada with a car
load Of selected breeding stock which
had carried off blue ribbons at several
state fairs in 1919. "We have found"
said he, 'that there is just as much
pleasure and a great deal more profit
in developing a herd of prize stock as
in listening to the murmur Of the sad
sea waves. Where we used to grow
grain exclusively now we are raising
stock as well. The fact that steers
raised in Western Canada took the
grand championship at the Interna-
tional Live Stock Show at Chicago two
years in succession shows how well we
are getting along. And instead Of de-
pleting our bank rolls we add tidy
sum to them"
'But don't you find the life monoto.
nous?"
"Not in the least. You see, we have
a rural club which meets in our
school house, where we thrash out all
kinds of problems. Here we exchange
ideas and also have occasional talks
from government experts, and the man
who goes abroad for the winter only
realizes how much he has missed when
at a summer picnic he hears an ad-
dress by neighbor that would do
credit to a college graduate.
"It was at one of these meetings
that we decided to import prize
winning stallion, and today our dis
trict is raising some of the best draft
horses in Canada. The carload Of
breeding stock which I am now ship
ping to my farm is indirectly the re-
suit Of our club meetings. We are
going to make that little corner of
Saskatchewan one Of the big stock
centers Of America. Why shouldn't
we? Everything is in our favor-cli-
mate, fertility, cheap land, free graz
ing land adjoining lots Of farms,
creameries, government supervision.
You know how energetic the northern
climate makes a man? Well, it's just
like that with stock. They get to be
great husky fellows, hardy and big
framed-and that counts on market
day.
"Come up and see me some time"
were his parting words as he left to
catch his train. "I'll show you some
Of the finest land and live stock out Of
doors, and treat you to a real farm
meal-everything but the coffee and
sugar grown right on my farm. That
counts some in these days Of high
prices. es."-Advertisement.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for While If
Your Bladder Is Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally, means you have been eating
too much meat, says well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
OverwOrks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and Ioggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels removing all the
bOdy's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharna-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending blad Ier
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent 1ithia-water drink.-Adv.
