PARIS CONFORMS

DARlS. without public gaming tables
and dueling. suggests mental
picture surprising only to those who
have failed to adjust their viewpoint
to accumulating facts. It has been a
long time-six years. in fact--since the
spirit of the French metropolis, even
superfcially appraised, was one of
frivolity.
The ban just fixed by the upper leg =

in the dainty suburb of Enghien. rs
we'll as anywhere within one hundred
kilometerS of the greatest Latin city,
is distinctly in line with the prevailing
trend of French opinion. General de
Castelnau, carrying the reforming pas
sion, still is fathcring bin in the
Chamber of Deputies to make dueling
illegal and punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment
Sunday theatres are as yet un-
touched, but It would be unwise to
forecast the point at which the zeal
for regulation will stop. The cafes
throughout the week close with grim
celebrity at 10 p. m.
To the social philosopher may be left
the task of judging the moral gains or
losses Of this persistent development.
What will unquestionably strike the
foreigner. is the surrender of the city
to the wave Of conformity that is be-
coming world wide. Paris is no longer
that repository of self confident gayety
where everything goes Regulation
is la mode and the French capital is
nothing If not fashionable.

Meanwhile, the elections held on Sun :

the Liberal Constitutionalisrs. the party
in power. Very much in power is the
obvious conclusion, and equipped with
an ample purse.

the methods employed recall pertincntly

A RIVAL NEXT DOOR

A CUP challenge from Canada con
"A tains that element of excitement in O.
separable from neighborly contest. Al
exander G. Ross, who plans TO race for
the Americas trophy in 1921, more
over. enters his bid to the accompani-
mcnt of significant warning. He will
employ Nova Scotia sailors, handy sea
folk beyond a doubt and trained under
circumstances and In traditions very
much akin to our own. The test is GER
tain to be spirited.
In the failure Of contestants to lift
the cup 1t is curious to note the way
in which the yacht classic has become
''localized. The first challengers were
English. Thirty nine years ago there
was Canadian entrant, but that was
nm isolated departure. Later came the
undiscouraged Irish sportsman, and
finally the aspirant is next door. What
ever happens, fears of sending our boys
abroad 10 brave the complexities OF old
world yachting will be groundless.

THE HUNTINGTON LIBRARY

DlBLlOPHlLES Will regret the re-
- moval from New York of Henry r.
Huntington's famous library. probably
the finest private library in the world.
For some months the work of shipping
the books to Mr.. Huntington home in
San Mareno. in southern California
has been going on. where they are being
placed in building erected to hold
them. On Saturday dozen members
of his library staff started for the West
to take charge of the work there. The
whole library will be in place in Sep
tembcr.
Mr.. Huntington has caused heart :
burnings for many other collectors. for
he has never hesitated to outbid every
one else when he wished to buy a rare
volume. When he paid $50. 900 for the
Gutenberg Bible in 1912 it was the
highest price that had ever been paid
for q printed book. He has bought
complete libraries in order to obtain for
his own the rare volumes that it con :
tained. Notable among them were the
} libraries of Dwight Church, the Duke
Of Devonshirc and Sir Thomas Edger
ton, as well as the library of Americana
belonging to Judge Benedict. He has
thus acquired a collection of six first
editions Of Shakespeare plays, in =
Guiding the Hamlet" printed in Lon =
don in 1908. the original manuscript OF
Franklin's autobiography" and many
other priceless treasures.
Book lovers from the East who wish
to see these things will now have to cross
the continent, but many of them will
think that the pleasures in store for
them will we'll repay for the time and
money spent. 1t may be that Mr..
Huntington has removed his books to
California in order to attract to the
state where he made his fortune people
who would not otherwise go there. but
it is more likely that he wishes to have
his library where he spends the greater
part of the year so that he may enjoy
1t at his leisure.

THE POLICE WILL BLESS HIM

hlRECTOR CORTELGOC 5 order
~ against ticket peddlinG by police
and firemeI. ends an abuse long capt. al
lied BY corruptionistS. That the ban
extends to the sale of pension fund
tickets by the benefciarics is hardship
more in appearance than in fact.
1t is the province of Council to fur
pish adequate pension money and for
tunately the appropriation sought this
year indicates at least n partial realiza
tion of this duty. Furthermore. the
plan to permit storckcpcrs to sell the
bazaar and carnival tickets is one
which should be stimulating TO the self
respect of firemcn and policemen, until
now forced by necessity rather than de-
sire to play the humiliating role of
peddlers.
The major gain in the ruling, how
ever. is the extinction of prrnicious
political activities in connection with
ticket selling having no relation to pen
sions. The petty bosses who engineered
these unsavory drives were actually
practicing a system of blackmail. with
the police.and firemen as victims unless
they acquiesced. Director Cortelyou is
to be congratulated for stamping out the
whole corruption breeding procedure.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Conditions in Russia Today Compared Wh Those in France
During the Reuolution-Sunday Baseball

There was in that convention n will
which was that Of ALL and which was
that of no one That will was an idea
irresistible and unmeasured. one which
blew from the clouds of Heaven. We
call 1t the revolution. AS this idea
passed II struck down one and raised
another. It carried one on the foam and
broke another upon the reefs. To inn
pute the revolution to men is to impute
the ocean to the waves. 1t was In
reality n resultant of events. Events
dictated the cost, man simply paid.
Events dictate. men merely sign. The
2lst Of January. 1893. is signed Robes
pierre but these men were merely the
amanuenses of fate. The author CT these
grand pages is God, and upon the face
of these events Is written the simple
name. destiny Above these
mysterious complicationsy yof benefit and
disaster there arises the eternal why
of history. To blame or praise mon for
the results Is as II we would praise or

Mayor Moore's fight upon Harry a.
Mackey if he can help it. But his re.
marks upon the local situation are in
teresting and significant.
AS a matter of constructive poll
tics" he said, II really feel that some
people make a mistake in fighting the
city administration, which has a long,
long time to remain in power.
If this means Mr. Mackey. that gen
tleman will doubtless be made aware
of it more or less directly. If it is
merely a general statement of the Gov
ernor's opinion with no special appli-
cation to any particular man or group
of men, then language has ceased to
have much meaning.

As to Sunday Baseball

| To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger
| Sir-An issue of your paper some tim
ago contained an editorial on About
Blue Sundays" As long as the absurd
| and puerile statements, possibly INTENDED
as arguments. against our American
| Christian Sabbath. were contained IT
| letters" printed In our city papers the
| writer did not care to notice them. Bu
when the same statements. In kind m

tation they should not pass without
protest.
You say: oddly enough. little Is eVei

ing. Sunday swimming, Sunday fishing
Or Sunday tennis" etc.
The Superior Court of this state in It's
decision of July 81, 1915, declaring Sun
| day baseball games to be unlawful, ex.
| pfcitly referred to the fact that sucf
games ARE attended by crowds In pro
portion to the fame of the clubs or the
interest taken in the game In the COM
munity." and further. there cannot be
| any controversy as to the natural and
| reasonable tendency of such a concourse
of people In the built-up portion OF q
city on Sunday to produce noise and
| disorder
Presumably the same court would dc.
clare that Sunday golf and tennis games
played on private grounds and I'M
attended by large concourses OF people

and thus disturbing the tranquility and
peace of the neighborhood" on Sunday

The Superior Courts decision referred

the sanctity Of Sunday as a holy day Is
an inseparable part of our fundamental
law" The Supreme Court of the United
States likewise declared in formal de-
cision: Where there Is no Christian
Sabbath there Is no Christian morality
and without this our free institutions
cannot be sustained"

THE GREATER zoo

THE recent and prospective additions
L to the Zoo will validate it's standing
as one of the foremost institutions Of
the kind in the world.
Excelling in many genera, especially
birds and the large Carnivora, the gar
dens have for some time failed TO ex-
hioit the highly pictorial giraffe and
the ponderous yet fantastic rhinoceros.
Now these deficiencies are soon to be
repaired. A special representative will
depart in September to take tribute Of
the East Indian fauna. An African
giraffe, one Of the most difficult of the
rarcr animals TO raise, is now in transit
on the Atlantic.
Fortunately popular interest encour-
ages this policy of expansion. During
the last month $1,000 persons patron
ized the Geological Gardens as compared
with 1000 for July 1910. This is a
6ne showing but not a whit too good.
