But the object Of an antLnoise cru
SADIE should not be to Ill the jails.
1t should be to educate the public,
young and old, to understanding of
the folly and the wrong of impairing
their own nervous systems and those
of other persons, and thus impairing
everybody's health, by unnecessary
noises.
Several times the authorities have
announced that they were going to
stop such noises. Usually this has
meant n short period of accelerated
activity by the police.
What is needed is cooperation be-
tween all available municipal agen-
cies, among which are the police, the
health inspectors and the school
teachers, for q genuine reformation In
the popular attitude toward the ear
piercing sounds which without reason
or excuse are tolerated in New York

STAR DUST.
November's Meteorlc Display Helps to
Increase the Worlds Weight.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Novem-
Der is indeed q prolific month for shoot
ing stars. During It's thirty days our
little planet ploughs through two swarms
of these tiny or larger particles, the
Leonid shower--from the direction Of the
constellation Leo--and the Andromedes
from the constellation Andromeda
When one of these so-called shooting
stars swiftly enters our atmosphere
at a speed Of about twenty-five miles a
second on an average-we behold 1t as
it quickly burns up and is destroyed.
Sometimes. however. 1t is so large that
it Is not burned UP and. violently strik-
ing the ground, we call 1t n meteor.
1t has been estimated that daily from
10000. 900 to 100000 OF these shooting
stars are destroyed by our atmosphere,
and. taking the average as 15.000,000, It
is probable that our earth. revolving
upon its orbit. destroys $3.50, O0OO 900 Of
them yearly. OF course each of these
consumed shooting stars leaves behind 1t
small amount OF dust which settles
gradually to the ground.
Such an amount of star dust would
add annually about $4,000 tons TO our
worlds weight However. even in a
century this accumulation of dust would
not amount to much. since it would take
more than a billion years for the de-
stroyed shooting stars to deposit layer
one inch in thickness upon our earth's
surface. CHARLES MEYERS HOLMES.

CASSIDY THE UNBOWED.
An Incident Typical OF the Dethroned
Boss of Queens.

To THE NEW York HERALD Your edi-
torial article analytical OF the late Jo-
seph Cassidy of Queens borough was
keen and interesting. Your statement of
his knowledge OF the borough OF which
he was twice President is true Cassidy
was Borough President during Mayor
Lows administration, and it was at the
meetings of the Board of Estimate that
Cassidy displayed high order of abll
ity and knowledge OF his borough's
needs. He was usually successful in OBJ
tanning appropriations for Queens; and
he was forceful with his reasons for
them.
Cassidy bore few If any permanent
grudges against anybody. so far as
could ever observe or ascertain. On his
personal side he had many generous
attributes.
Cassidy was a sportsman in politics
rs he was at a cock1ght or at any other
game in which he was Interested. 1t
was all game of chance with him and
he took more desperate chances than the
average politician of his type.
Shortly after Cassidy. obtained his
freedom he attended the funeral of Will
lam j. Youngs at the Episcopal Cathe-
dral IN Garden City. Cassidy came into
the Cathedral a little late and sat next
to me in a pew He was faultlessly and
quietly attired and held his head high,
AS he walked down the main aisle of
the Cathedral after the service amid
throng of prominent men he doomed
among them and he looked them all
straight In the eyes
His daring was brazen. superb. AS
he reached the lawn in front of the
church he saw group of Supreme
Court and other Judges conversing
quietly, among them Supreme Court
Justice Jaycox, who had sentenced him
TO prison. He knew them all and most
Of them we're Republicans. He walked
over to the group and with marked ur-
banity said: GOOD morning. gentle
men!" and extended his hand to all of
them. even to Justice Jaycox. They all
shook hands with him. Joe Cassidy
looked them all squarely IN the face and
then. with his head still high. walked
down the path to the curb, where he en-
tered his automobile and rode away.
The varying expressions on the faces
of the Judges were an interesting study.
AS Cassidy walked away they all
turned instinctively for an instant and
looked at him and then at each other.
Amusement was on the faces of all of
them.
After his release Cassidy frequented
well known restaurant and cafe on
lower Fulton street. Brooklyn; and
there no met many men whom he knew.
At that time his spirit seemed to be I'M
broken. His power in politics. however,
had ended and II he had lived he could
not possibly have regained it. He faced
the world, however with more fortitude
than did John Y. McKane after his re-
lease. REPORTER.

SOVIET AIMS DISTRUSTED.
Two Theories of w. ID. Vanderlip's
Concession In Siberia.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD One OF
the statements Washington d. Wander
lip makes in London is that he hopes
TO get Congress interested IN the favor
able business possibilities of Russia ,
that Bolshevism and communism are
dreams OF yesterday. He enforces his
idea OF the situation by a quotation from
Emma Goldman: This is no place for
an anarchist" He further says:
Lenins is not only a Washington or
Lincoln, but he IS both.
1t will not be many years before they
will have n statue OF him here in London.
Trotzi1y is the handspring OF the Soviet
organization.
1t will be recalled that Washington d.
VANDERBILT declares that he has in the
name OF Il syndicate contracted for large
tracts of land in Siberia now In the con-
troll of Lenine and Trotzky under the
Soviet organization, and that the Soviet
Government is to purchase several bill
ions OF goods from the United States as
part of the arrangement.
On August 10 last Secretary Colby in
reply TO the Italian Ambassadors in
quiry as TO the position OF the United
States regarding the Russian Polish sit
uation gave in unmistakable terms the
opinion of the United States Government
as TO the kind Of regime the Bolshevists
have been conducting in Russia and
which our Government refused to rec
ognlze It conflicts in every possible way
with the statements OF Washington D.
Vanderlip.
1t appears that this Mr.. vanderlip has
been for some months In Russia, and
during that time has visited the head
quarters OF Lenine and Trotzky under
circumstances which were only possible
through the approval Of those men.
The question naturally arises. Is Wash
ington D. Vanderlip the approved agent
OF Lenine and TrotzlSy In propaganda
by which they hope 20 have their sys-
TEN ingratiated I'm this country, or is
the farspread statement that billions Of
dollars OF products that interest our
manufacturers arc to be purchased In
the United States TO be considered as
a meteorio financial display

currency which Kept pretty steadily
at par and huctusted no more than
the money of A. d. 1920. Very quickly
did their brethren on Manhattan make
use of this currency, consisting of
clam shells. which they called sea
want, while a stream Of wealth In
beaver skins, equal in value to bull
ion or coin, flowed into the Dutch
Republic to swell the war chest and
weaken the Spaniards. BRADFORD tells
us that the arrival of wampum in the
Pilgrim trading area gave the Pill
grlms a tremendous financial uplift,
for furs We're next to gold IN Europe
and by wampum the trade was both
stimulated and stabilized.
Moreover, by this currency the Pill
grims through their virtual monopoly
in the fur market knocked out the
English fishermen who along the coast
had attempted to traffic on shore.
BRADToRD, eye witness and contem-
porary, devotes two pages to the visit
Of ISAAC DE RAsEREs, who came from
Manhattan, bringing at one time over
fifty pounds sterling worth Of his shell
money. He notes how rich and po-
tent" these Algonquin tribes who
adopted the wampum currency were,
while others without it were 'poor
and beggarly." He acknowledges fur
Their that Neither did the English of
this plantation, or any other In We
land It'll now, that they had knowl-
edge Of it Iwamppml from We Dutch
so much as know what 1t was, much
less, yet [thatl 1t was comodite Of
that worth and valew."
Bow accurately do we learn also,
from BRApFoRD's phonetic spelling,
how the Englishman pronounced his
speech In Elizabethan and Stuart
times
In WEEDEN's Economic and Social
History Of New England" we read
how long and abundantly this Iro-
quois currency influenced trade, leg
islatlon, rhetoric and eloquence. He
tells also how the Dutch settled the
vocabulary and rules of the traffic.
OF course it enjoyed the sincere COM
pllment paid to all originals Of worth,
from religion to nickels, Of being coun-
terfeited. In time of course pine tree
shillings and Spanish dollars drove
out Of use this currency, one of the
many gifts of the red men to the
white men.
These Pilgrims, erudlte or learned,
were as generous In acknowledging
their obligations TO the Dutch In Hol-
land and the red and white men in
what became New York State as was
WILLIAM BRADFoRD, the all round man
and perhaps the greatest of the Pill
grims. His motto was "Honor to
whom honor Is due"

The Commuters Moon.

September has It's harvest moon,
useful for binding the sheaves or
lighting the way to the motion picture
show. October has its hunters moon,
which Eliminates the pursuit of the
fox or the rural voter. But the moon
Of this month, although not so cele-
brated as Its predecessors, Is benign
lunation. At It's full, as it has been
during the last week, it has brought
delight to the weary man who travels
from urbs to rus. 1t should be called
the commuters moon.
Tonight this glorious chunk of
light will not shoulder its way out
of the coal hole Of the eastern horizon
until z :42 of the clock. The fitness
is now past and gibbosity sets In. But
last week the moon served to comfort.
The commuter, stepping off the 5 10
and starting off down the road toward
Wigglemere Estates. found that he
was not going home in the dark.
Huge, majestic, lambert, this disk
burst in on his solitude. So close 1t
seemed that the commuter was
tempted to reach out and break
piece Of gold off the rim. So bright
it was that he could continue the
reading Of the latest holdup. 1t
seemed to be an individual moon, ris-
ing particularly for the benefit of the
commuter. He could scarcely realize
that the same light might be going
through city windows, falling alike
upon the Indicted and the few others.
And what season this is in the
life of the commuter for q friendly
moonl His wife has retired for the
winter from the business Of meeting
MIN at the station with the car, but
here Is another beautiful and heavenly
companion. His coal supply is be-
coming low, but this moon seems al
most to shed warmth. His mortgage
Is large, but here In the sky Is some
thing larger. His overcoat Is shabby,
but the moon touches 1t with celestial
dye. His last pumpkin must be taken
in at once; the moon will light his
way safely to 1t.
No need for cocktail has the COM
muter who has walked his brisk mile
under the clear light. He has had the
genuine old moonshine, the empyreal
hooch. A thousand stars, competing
modestly with her majesty, supply the
dash of vermouth. No picture show
for him after dinner. Nature is the
best of the producers. And very kind
she is to put this commuters lantern
in the sky Just after the change in
clock time has caused the night to
fall before the traveller reaches his
suburban station.

DEPLORES WRONGS TO
AMERICAN INDIAN
DR.. J. X. Dixon Says Flag Is
Not the Red Mans.

''The shame of America is the great
injustice which has been done the native
population. l mean the Vanishing Race
tho American Indian" declared DR..
Joseph X. Dixon. leader OF the Rodman
Wanamaker Historical Expeditions to
the North American Indian, who Is a
guest at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
II have visited every reservation and
every tribo of Indians in the United
States" said DR.. Dixon. when this
country was discovered Il had popu-
lstion Of 100000 Indians. Now there
are only $4,000 The Indian is not a
citizen OF the land which Is his by in
heritance. The American flag Is not his
flag, and yet when the great war came
1900 Indians went over to fight for
that flag. There were fifty Indians in
the Stokes mortar platoon OF the Sixty
ninth Regiment, now the 165th of New
York, and at Amiens Col. Donovan
publicly said that It was their splendid
work which saved the regiment.
"Some years ago Congress passed n
law granting the site for an Indian me-
mortal on Staten Island, and on Wash
ington's Birthday in 1913. in the pres
ence OF former President Taft thirty
two Indian cheftains pulled the rope
which raised the flag on this site-the
flag of their country from which they
are expatriate.
The Indian has had great wrong
done him In so much Of the material
that has been written about him. He
has been described as n stealthy, sneak
Ing savage, when, as a matter of fact
there Is no one In the world more hon
orable and loyal than the Indian. The
educated Indian of royal blood has q
virility OF mind and n stability of char
acter OF which any white man might
we'll be proud.
"Of course, there are bad Indians, but
there are bad men In other races. Even
at that / would rather trust a bad In
dian to deal honorably with me in a
case or life and death than would a
had white man. The Indian Is Intensely
religious and does not know the alpha
bet OF savagery rs compared with some
OF the things which were done by go
called civilized people as reported in the
list OF atrocities OF tho late war

made a citizen of the United States He
has n right to his emancipation. A great
many Indians are being educated mt
Princeton at the expense OF philanthropic
who sent them first to
Meroersburg and afterward TO the uni
versity. and they are coming through
splendldly"
DR.. Dixon has written a number OF
books about the Indian, including one
soon TO be published, and he Is the only
man alive who has photographed every
Indian tribe on tho North American
continent.
