convenience and bother, so strong is
the conviction Of the benefits at
stake. But there is every reason
why this burden should not be
shifted 20 the large communities.
They are the centers of traffic COM
plexities. 1t is their necessity of
unison in score otservices, of food
and light and traction and what not,
that makes daylight saving a COM
munity matter for the cities. The
dweller in rural district is incom-
parably more Independent of trains
and the actions Of his fellow man.
He can adjust his clock time far
more simply, with but minimum
of arrangement. There should be
adequate provision in rural train
schedules for different time if the
rural districts wish it. But the gen.
eral time should conform to the popu-
lous centers.
These reasons should be conclusive
on Governor Smith, we think, and
should lead him to veto daylight saw
ing repeal in the broad interest of
the people of the state, rural as we'll
as urban.

Instructive Figures

Complete returns from the Michi-
gan primary show that Johnson re-
oeived 156,939 votes, Wood 1856,
Lowden 62,418, Hoover 52,5O3, Per-
shing 1871, Simpson 1857, and
Poindexter 1852.
johnson failed by 95,038 to be IN
dorsed by the Michigan Republicans
who voted. He owed his lead to a
divided opposition. Had but one
candidate appeared against him he
would have been badly beaten, for
few of the votes cast for other candi-
dates would have gone to him.
A similar story comes from Ne
braska. With returns in from two
thirds Of the state, johnson has A.
S88, Wood 33,647 and Pershing
1851. The majority against John
son so far is thus 1885, and prob
ably 10000 in the whole state. John
son owes his Nebraska success to the
injection of the Pershing candidacy.
In straight contest Wood, it is ad-
mitted, would have won easily.

Keeping Daylight Saving

Once more the citizens Of New
York City turn their eyes to Gov
ernor Smith as a court Of appeal
from laundering Legislature.
The repeal Of the statewide day
light saving at the present time,
after railroads and every one else
nave become adjusted to it, would
plainly be an indefensiblc mistake.
The sentiment Of the state is clearly
defined. Her cities and larger towns
are for it. The benefits of it in
health and happiness for such COM
munities are very great. In the
rural districts there is still strong
opposition. The question thus re-
solves itself into adjusting the re-
form 10 thege two conflicting cle-
mcnts in the population.
We think it clear that the one
satisfactory basis for such adjust
'nent is by a statewide shift of

up to, but whether or not there was
any reason, binding on the Senate
or the country, why they should have
been or should now be lived up to.
More than half of the Democratic
Senators voted against the Presi-
dents program. The country has
turned away from his leadership in
international affairs. He seems to
think now that the "great and
solemn referendum" of November
next ought to turn on the para
mount question whether or not his
leadership should be reaccepted by
the people. If that is his idea Mr..
Lewis has correctly grasped the logic
Of the Democratic situation. No
one but the President knows exactly
what his ratification policy is or
what will be the effect on our inter-
national relations Of an Endorsement
Of his craftsmanship. The Kansas
letter practically implies that it is
the duty Of the Democratic party to
renominate the only competent in
terpreter Of the issue on which it is
to demand decision at the polls.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l am a lifelong Republican, one
Of the strictest of the sect, but there is
one candidate mentioned for President
for whom l will not vote, either at the
primaries or the general election. 1t is
Senator Johnson, Of California.
I will not vote for him at the pri-
maries, as / do not like the character
OF his support, as shown in recent
primaries. His support comes from
pro-Germans, pacifsts and Reds. l do
not like the odor.
If he is nominated I shall not vote
for him, because in the Senate he voted
for the Eighteenth Amendment. That
shows he is not familiar with American
history or the Constitution of the
United States.
If the Democrats nominate really
good American, who never has been
tainted with wisconsin or connected
with the Administration, I would vote
the Democratic ticket. If they nomi-
nate a Bryan or a McAdoo l would
not vote.
No one is more desirous than I to
see the return Of the Republicans to
power I believe they are the only
ones who can clean the Augean stable.
But they must select safe, sane, lib

Back to the Old Shoe!
One Effect of Too Much
Regulation
To the Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: | want to heartily indorse the
letter of "a Reader with reference to
the service-at-cost bills The writer's
mother, widow, has for years been
dependent for the money to pay her
rent from the interest of bonds of the
Nassau Electric Railway Company in
Brooklyn. This year the interest on
these bonds has not been paid, nor will
it be unless something is done in the
way of affording financial relief to the
railways These bonds were bought in
good faith by man who believed in
safety above all other things when in
vesting. If this is the way the govern
ment takes care of investors, is there
any wonder that people who have al
ways been stanch Americans are begin
ming to wonder if they would not be bet
ter off if they sponsored some of the
new "isms" which are coming up every
day?
| invested my savings in Liberty
bonds, but, believe me, after this expe-
rience with the Nassau bonds, never an
other cent of my money goes into a
bond again. I am "cured" forever. I
would rather keep my money in an old
shoe than put 1t into bonds again.
Something should be done to protect
the investors and the people dependent
on the interest from these railway
bonds. REBA.

serves more thought, as a silk shirt, a

shoes do not harmonic. with overalls,
which Is the sight one is likely to see
where this movement has started.
The Governor Of North Carolina,
who, because Of the profteerng
he thinks will arise from the over
all movement, and which he believes
WI undoubtedly place a prohibitive
price on these garments to those
who need them, does not advocate
such a plan, but advances the fol-
lowing idea, which l believe is a very
logical one il it can be made large
enough movement:
He will join a club which will have
certain items of wearing apparel at a
figure not above set prices-a suit cost

eminent cooperations similar to the
meatless and wheatless days during
the war, which would advocate both
these ideas in one, setting these prices
as the maximum, and until they are

great deal toward stabilizing prices.

Raises for Teachers
A Protest Against Injustices
of Lockwood Bill
To the Editor of The Tribune.

D the LolCOr OF Inc lrlDune.
Sir: After the consistent and favor
able attitude The Tribune has taken in
regard to an increase for the teacher
your editorial of Wednesday, April q,
comes as rather q shock. You ev-
IDENTIFY take the position that all the
teachers are to receive suitable in
crease. If you were to look more deep
ly into this matter you would undoubt-
eddy discover your error.
Under the Lockwood Donohue bill
teachers are to get their maximum sal
airy after eleven years service. To
teachers working for $1,000 year this
$1,000 increase will almost relieve the
critical problem Of paying rent, paying
for clothes and food and the various
other items demanded by a critical
Board of Education. But this class of
teachers who have worked their eleven
years and are now to receive their
maximum is a very small class, when
compared with the thousands of other
teachers.
Under the old regime teachers had
to work sixteen long years to get their
maximum-five years longer than does
the newer teacher under the Lockwood
Dono,sue bill. This teacher who has
worked for sixteen or more years and
now has her maximum receives miser-
ly increase of but s40O. Is s40o in
crease for sixteen years grind, against
$1,000 increase for eleven years work,
fair compensation
Added to this shameful discrepancy
in salary can be added the fact that for
years on years women teachers, from
the IA up, in the public grammar
schools got $500, while men, teaching
the same class of children the very
same thing got $4,000. difference OF
$500, rectifed only in January, 1920
Are these older teachers grown gray IN
the service of city, state and country
to go absolutely unrewarded?
Under the Lockwood -Donohue bill it
is only the minority, and very small
minority it is, that derives any consid-
cradle profit. For the veteran, over
worked. underpaid woman teacher it
is no increase; it does not bring tho
purchasing power of her salary up to
what it was in 1914 and 1915.

The City to Pay

The debate over the jerks bill,
happily defeated, contributed to in
creasing rather than to decreas-
ing the public befuddlement which
Hearst and Hylan, for political rea-
sons, have striven to intensity, and
which both the Interborough and the
B. r. r. are apparently willing to
have exist.
The issue as argued was over
whether the city or the company was
to bear the burden of a non-profit-
able operation Of the subways. There
is no such issue. Whether subway
fares go up or not, the city is to
meet any deficit. The only issue Is
whether New Workers, in the role of
subway passengers or in the role Of
taxpayers, are to shoulder the losses.
This is because Of the nature of
the subway contracts. Speaking
broadly, the city has put $250,000,-
900 into rapid transit, selling bonds
to get the money, while the compa-
MES have put in another $250,OO0,-
900. And the agreement is that the
private investors are to get return
on their money first. 1t follows, if
income is not sufficient to meet both
investments while enough to meet
one, that the loss will fall exclusive
ly on the city. The city will pay in
terest on it's subway bonds out Of it's
general fund, instead of out Of in
come coming to it from the subways.
If fares were raised the gain in
subway income would automatically
accrue to the city, instead Of to the
company, and be reflected in a low
cred tax rate.
For obvious reasons, it behooves
the subway managers to make a
POOR mouth. Their companies are
loaded up with surface railway
securities which would have value if
fares were raised. Moreover, it is
realized that it would not add to sur
face railway income to increase sur
face fares if subway fares stayed at
nickel, for the traffic would then
flow to the subways. So the subway
managers campaign for higher
fares, but as interested in the surface
lines rather than in the subways.
The bond owners who have fur
nished the money for subway extern
sions are not in great danger of loss,
and never have been. The steadiness
of marlborough per cents attests
financial perception Of this fact. Nor
is the future dark for those who own
the bonds which are secured by the
original PETERBOROUGH stock. The
specific s6,335,oo0 preference pro-
vided for in the subway contracts
should take care of these securities
in the near future.

La Guardia for Governor

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is high time to find and to
nominate capable and popular can
didate for the Office of Governor. De-
spite Mr.. Sweets self -recommendation
l doubt if he would prove a success
full or even popular gubernatorial NOM
inee. There is only one man who am
sure could satisfy all the requirements
for the Office. I have in mind Mr.. F.
FL. La Guardia, President Of the Board
of Aldermen, who has the unique dis
tinction Of never seeking office; as a
matter Of fact, the office usually seeks
him.
l have closely followed che career Of
Mr.. La Guardia, especially since 1915,
when he was elected Representative of
the 14th Congressional District, Sec
ticn of the city wherein there are very
RICH and very poor and various nation
allties. The district up to Mr.. La
Guardia S candidacy had been a Dem
ocratic stronghold. Shortly after the
declaration of war Mr.. La Guardia en-
listed in tho aviation branch of the
army and performed excellent work in
Italy, where he rose to the rank Of
major. In the latter country he also
addressed the people at various times,
inspiring courage and confidence. On
returning to this country in 1918 he
was reelected to Congress, having de-
feated Scott Nearing. The latter part
of 1919 we see Mr.. La Guardia virtually
persuaded to resign his seat in Con-
gress to become President of the
Board of Aldermen, which Office he
now holds There is no need of de-
scribing his present work, as we are
all familiar with it. Despite Demo-
cratic opposition he Yields q whole
some influence in the Board Of Esti-
mate.
Mr.. La Guardia's record is xnim-
peachable. He is progressive, yet not
an unreasonable radical; conservative.

The Letter to Kansas

A letter from President Wilson
read at the Kansas Democratic
convention seems to have received
the cordial approval of that body.
Interpreting it, the Hon. James Ham
ilton Lewis, formerly the Admin
istration's chief spokesman on for
eign relations in the United States
Senate, told the delegates: "The
country must be ready to see the
convention at San Francisco put
Wilson as it's candidate before the
nation"
1t may have been the purpose of
the writer to outline clearly the issue
on which he desires "a great and
solemn referendum" in the national
election. But the text communi-
Gated to the Kansans fails to do
this. What is the referendum to
decide? The President says:
THE issue which it is our duty to
raise with tho voters Of the country
involves nothing less than the honor
Of the United States and the re-
demption of its most solemn obliga-
tons; its obligations to it's associ-
ates in the great war and to man
kind, to whom it gave the most ex-
plicit pledge that it went to war not
merely to win a victory in arms, but
also to follow up that victory with
the establishment Of such q concert
OF nations as would guarantee the
permanence Of peace based on JUS
tice."
The issue which was shaped by
the long fight over ratification was
something very different from this.
The Senate by large majorities at
tached numerous reservations to the
treaty which Mr.. Wilson brought
home from Paris. The President
exerted all his influence to prevent
ratification with these reservations.
The specific issue between himself
and the majority Of the Senate is
whether the treaty shall be approved
with the Senate reservations or
shall be approved either uncon-
ditionally or with merely interpre-
tative reservations, such as the
President is willing to sanction.
The Senate has held, and rightly,
that it was never committed to any
obligations or pledges, made with
out its knowledge or consent, to our
associates or to mankind. These
we're individual expressions on the
part of the President, just as the
terms Of the treaty which he signed
at Versailles represented his indi-
vidual views as peace commits
sioner. The Senate exercised it's
undoubtcd right to attach reserva-
tons and qualifications to the treaty.
1t was thinking Of it's obligations to
the forms Of the Constitution and
to the people Of the United States.
A broader issue to be dealt with by
referendum would, therefore, be
not whether the Presidents promises
and commitments have been lived

Callaux's Conviction

The French Senate probably APP
proximated technical justice when
it refused to convict Joseph Caillaux
of high treason or of Intelligence
with the enemy" but convicted him
of Commerce and correspondence
with the enemy" 1t is explained
that this latter phrase did not cover
financial dealings with Germany, but
only moral association with the Ger
man cause and community of ideas
with the German lee 1ers.
Caillaux was astute and wary. He
was recognized by most Frenchmen
as the head of the defeatist move
ment in France. He had relations
with many Of the minor plotters like
Bolo and Malvy. But though willing
to profit by their activities, he tried
to avoid any overt connection with
the German corruptionists or with
those who were doing German bid
ding behind the French battle lines.
Caillaux was the one French
statesman who always enjoyed the
cordial esteem Of Berlin. He was
outspokenly anti-British, even be-
fore the war. He deprecated the
Anglo-French entente and worked
for practically an alliance with Ger
many. He agreed with the Germans
who were laboring to break down
the Franco-Russian alliance that
France and Germany together ought
to dominate the Continent, France,
of course, accepting the role of
junior partner in the association.
The war didn't change Caillaux's
views. He was in disgrace when it
began. His wife had killed CASTOR
Calmette, the editor Of LIE Figaro
and her trial drove him from his
post as Minister of Finance. He
could see no opportunity to return
to power except through Allied de-
feat. If France were beaten he
would be the natural head of a
government forced to sue for peace
and to bring France into line as a
submissive pro-German state.
The Germans knew all this. So
when Caillaux mysteriously jour
neyed to South America Count Lux
burg, the German Ambassador at
Buenos Ayres, sent a message te
Berlin asking the government to In.

vessel on which Germany's favorite
French statesman was to rccross

quent fattering illusions to him in
the German press.
When the defeatist campaign of
1917 was at its height Clemenceau
became Premier. He raided the de-
featist camp and even arrested Gail
laux. But the latter was still pos
sessed with tho notion that France
must lose and looked forward con-
fidently to succeeding Clemenceau
he claimed for himself a perverted
sort of patriotism-saidh he was pre-
pairing to mitigate German terms
and make the German yoke easier if
defeat should come. But his con-
duct in South America, in Italy and
at homo indicated that the eventu-
atty of defeat was far from dis
pleasing to him.
If Cailaux was not oyertlv a
traitor, his heart and mrd were at
least warped toward pro- Germanism
by his political and personal ambi-
tons. He was one of the sinister and
craven figures Of the war. It is n
matter Of congratulation that his
cunning and his powerful under
ground connections in French poll
tics failed to secure him white
wash. He did nothing for the
worlds victory. He served Germany
throughout. and whenj pis trial re-
