We are not prepared to accept with

plunging through the plate glass front
of an undertaker's Office, after imhih-

Inc no better way to put a kick In

The average mule is looking for an
excuse for kicking, anyway. Feed him

the rest to his natural predispositlon.
He will register disgust in the obvious
way.
And then again mules never commit
suicide. We have heard Of men com

In the South and Southwest that mules

real restoration Of the reign of merit
in the Police Department.
The discouraging feature is the
cumulative evidence Of how utterly
the police have become, under Mayor
Hylan, a political shuttlecock. The
maneuvers are mysterious in detail.
In general aim they are clear as day
light. Our Mayor, hard pressed by
public opinion, is on the road to MAX
ing his peace with Tammany, which
in turn is to make peace with Friend
Hearst. In these mancuvers the
police force is only political pawn.
No wonder the morale of the force
is weakening. The fault is not with
the individual patrolman. 1t is with
Mayor whose nature, mingling
of selfish stupidity and small cum
ming, leads him to play cheap and
politics with the most i'm
portant branch Of the city's service.
And behind the Mayor the blame is
upon the voters of the city who
placed this man in a position of such
power and Importance.

Police and Politics

In itself it is good news that In
spcctor Faurot becomes Third Dep
uty Commissioner, succeeding Colo
mel Porter. Inspector Faurot is not
onIy an expert and able detective;
he is courageous and honest, above
politics or any underhand influence.
If given the power he can do much
TO "clean up" the city intelligcntly
and fairly.
But will he have the power? The
appointment adds considerably to
the already confused situation in Che
Police Department. Commissioner
Faurot may be assumed to be as per-
gonally unwclcone 10 Commissioner
Fnright as Captain Costigan. The
selection lends weight TO the rumors
which represent Commissioner En-

Same Old Germany

A fairly satisfying answer to the
question 'Is Germany regcner-
ated?" is furnished by the decision
Of the senate of Berlin University
IN the case Of Professor Nikolai.
Nikolai, a biologist of high stand
ing. was carly in the war disciplined
by his superiors and punished by the
military authorities for his book
"The Biology Of War" in which he
condemned war in general and the
German war party in particular. In
1913 Nikolai managed to escape bv
alrplane to Denmark, but after the
revolution returned and resumed his
lectures. He was mobbcd a few
weeks ago by gang Of undercradu-
ates. He demanded an investigation,
and presently the senate of the uni
versity handed down a unanimous
decision which, while perfunctorilv
disappearing Of the students demon
stration, suspends Nikolai from fur
ther PROFESSIONAL work.
The decision sustains two charges: ::
That OF descrtion (by this the escape
to Denmark is understood) and that
OF virtual treason, committed bv
publishing his anti-war book abroad.
Nikolals statement that in the be-
ginning at least Germans loved and
eulogizcd the war is adduccd as mar
ticularly aggravating His attack
on the German government for in
stitutlng submarine ruthlessncss is
also held up against him. His ad
wee TO German solders to end the
var by ccasing to fight is charac-
terIzcd AZ his worst offence.
That the decision is signed by the
same Rector Eduard Meyer who
during the war was one Of the Wild

the same as the first one. Then in
dignation boils away, and the citi-
zens find ways to console them
selves. The rival city has annexed
everything within twenty miles,
while our city is confined within the
same narrow limits as in 1870. 1t
is unfortunate, however, that the
suburbs refuse to be annexed, and
ungrateful, because they share all
the advantages Of the city. Still,
tney form part of the metropolitan
district, and it's population, rather
than that of the city proper, repre-
sents it's real size and Importance.
BY these methods a city con-
vinces itself that it did fairly we'll,
and it's press rings with the noble
resolution for everybody to pull to-
gather and boost, so that the 1880
ucnsus may show its real size and
Importance. Thus there is illustra-
tion that hope forever burns in the
human breast, and that America is
still populated by Americans, not by
the jejune of soul who take no inter-
est in their community's size and
growth.

marriage is that man with great
magnanimity rescues woman from

A Year of Folly

We could feel far more discour-
aged and dishoartened over the un-
American actions of our Assembly
at Albany, it's expulsion of the So
cialists and it's kindred blunders,
were it not for the feeling that here,
after all, is only passing season of
extravaganza and folly. In no year
Of normal perspectives, surely, could
anybody have introduced a bill as
solemnly nonsensical as that ema-
mating from the brain of Mr.. Peppe,
Of Queens, which would "amend
the penal law in relation to public
meetings" by requiring the audience
at every public meeting to rise and
reclte: IL pledge allegiance to the
American flag and to the Republic
for which it stands, one nation in
divlsible, with liberty and justice for
all" Those present who fail to do
this would be guilty of misde
meanor.
1t is perhaps crushing a butterfly
beneath a very heavy wheel, but we
wish to cite the opinion upon this
bill of the Bar Association commit
tee on the amendment of the law.
This committee does an admirable
labor in passing unon pending leg
lslatlon and issuing bulletins there
or. Doubtless a number of excel
lent citizens and citizencsses of the
radical faith would take it for
granted that these bulletins were
wearying and dehumanized docu-
mcnts Of ltra-conservatism. Let
the comment Of the committee upon
Assemblyman Peppe's bill speak for
itself:
"The bill is broad enough to apply
to an audience Of deafmutes and
to one which might not understand
word of English Other difficulties
in applying it may be readily mag
med. We place our dsapproval upon
the ground that patriotism should
spring er obundantia cords, and can
not be engendered by mere lip serv-
ice. Such a measure tends more to
destroy patriotism than to promote
1t. What is now a sacred feeling
would become parrotlike recital
not far removed from desecraton.
"I'he bill is disapprovcd."
Let it also be not forgotten that
this is the same Bar Association
which resolved against the cxpul
sion of the Socialist members and
sent a committee Of counsel to AL
hany in an effort to persuade sense
back into Mr.. Sweets cohorts.
When the year Of folly is over the
lawyers Of New York can view with
pride their liberal and intelligent
stand during it.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-08
Michigan and the Democrats

The Democrats also had primary
in Michigan, and it is one the Ad-
ministration and the Presidential
candidates supporting it can get
scant comfort from. The leader in
the Presidential preference primary
and the probable choice of the state
was Mr.. Hoover, who is strongly
against the Presidents treaty rati-
fication program and who recently
took himself out of consideration as
candidate before the Democratic
convention. Second in the race was
Governor Edwards of New Jersey,
running on side issue platform of
his own-local notification, wher-
ever possible, Of the Federal prohibit
ton. Third and fourth were William
G. McAdoo and William J. Bryan,
the latter an avowed anti-Adminis.
Jration man, who favors ratification
Of the treaty with the Senate reser-
yations. Last Of all was Attorney
General Palmer, who stands unquali-
fiedly on the Wilson record.
The three non-Administration
Democratic candidates received, on
count Of nearly three fifths of the
state, about $4,000 votes. The two
Administration candidates Counting
Mr.. McAdoo as one) received about
10000.
So far as Michigan is concerned.
the Democratic voters seem to have
cut away from the Administration
and all its works. The Democratic
leaders all realize this and are
straining every nerve to avoid popu-
lar preference tests. They want to
have uninstructed delegates elected
in order to escape such spectacles as
the Michigan primary has just af-
forded.
So it comes about that the demand
Of the 1912 platform for open selec-
tions openly arrived at is bluntly
ignored. Only ar abandonment of
the preferential primary can conceal
the eclipse Of the Presidents leader
ship. The party managers shrink
from facing the results of the dis
satisfaction which that self -centered
leadership has created. And, iudg-
ing from the Michigan exhibition.
their distrust of an open expression
Of party opinion is overwhelmingly
justified

French government could do less and
live. In this case the government is
not leading, but being forced by French
public sentiment into course which
all Frehchmen regard as alone calcu-
lated to protect French interests and
French safety. Had the allies of
France been a little more sympathetic
and little less selfshly occupied wit,
their own commercial interests the
present situation would hardly have
arisen, but since it has arisen, French
action has been logical and inevitable.
