GREENWICH VILLAGE.
The Old Ninth Ward Place of Long
Established Homes.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your edi-
torial article about Greenwich Village is
illuminating. The extension OF Seventh
avenue. with the new subway, revealed
this picturesque section to many resi-
dents of the city, and as n result artists
in general came and Joined the small
colony who had lived there for many
years.
The good work of Commissioner En-
right and his officers in maintaining the
family character of the old Ninth ward
by eliminating most OF the night shows
which drew sightseers is commendable.
The old we'll constructed three and
four story houses date from eighty to
one hundred years ago and as stated in
the article probably more dwellings in
Greenwich Village are occupied by
single families than in any other dis
trict of equal size in Manhattan.
There are many families who have a
residence record of three and more gen
erations. John r. Voorhis and Mich

Theatrical Successes Are Costly 20
the Public.

1t would be difficult to convince
even patient New Workers. that the
present high prices of theatre tickets
are the just result OF the original ex-
pense of the production.
Undenlably the cost Of theatrical
production has grown In the past five
years. Elaboration of decoration,
moreover, is In some cases indls-
pensable. Mr.. ZIEGFELD's "Follies," for
instance, are inconceivable without
their accustomed luxury. Yet there
are other dramatic performances
which do not depend on the shade of
the satin or the outline of bodice
1t might even be suspected that bet
ter aesthetic results could be obtained
in nine plays out of ten were taste
and not expense the principle which
guided the decorator.
1t is easy to recall instances TO prove
how much more can be accomplished
by taste than by extravaganza. One
comedy of Southern life played here
for year did not possess a single
new scene. All the decorations had
done service before. SO frenzied Is
the production of new plays with no
chance Of life that secondhand seen.
cry is drug in the market. An
italian tragedy, which was acted with
great success for whole winter, had
the advantage of beautiful series Of
interiors which are said to have cost
less than $4,000.
So the trick may be done without
an extravagant outlay of money. The
fact that the cost OF the theatre ticket
has scared steadily upward in recent
years Is not the direct result of in
crea sed cost of production in spite Of
the declarations Of the managers. Il
the theatre powers combine With the
spectators TO demand almost four
times as much as the regular price of
a ticket, and If they are usually able
to get at least twice what IL ought to
cost, it is because they happen to be
the fortunate managers Of successes.
That is form Of monopoly which
enables the theatre manager and the
Spectator to demand almost any price
they want The hardware merchant
may ask 81 for patent appliance
which is not worth more than one
fourth OF that sum because he has a
monopoly of something the pubic
wants. SO with the manager of a
popular play. He may talk about the
increased expense of production or in
other ways attempt to hoodwink the
public as to the demands Of the spec
ulator. But he knows that 1t Is on
account of his fortunate monopoly
alone that he is able TO set his own
price for his tickets.

PRICE SLUMP LAID
TO GRAIN GAMBLERS
Farmers Told of Conspiracy
With the Captains of
Finance
SEEK CONGRESS HELP
Tillers Hope They Will BE
Supported in Refusal to
Sell at Loss.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 16.-Blame for
the present slump In prices for farm
products was laid at the door OF well
organized conspiracy on the part of
grain gamblers and some OK the cap
tains of finance" by o. c.. Smith of Me-
braslxa, president of the Farmers Ma
tional Congress. In his annual address
at the, opening session of that body's
annual convention here to-day. Mr..
Smith expressed the hope that "the Con-
gress of the United States will indorse
farmers in their refusal TO sell their
products at o loss"
1t appeared the consensus among
speakers that the American Farm Blu
reau Federation, because of its national
scope. was the organization best fitted
to protect the farmer by seeing that he
gets proper return on his investment"
Smith urged passage by the Congress
of the French bill requiring labelling Of
woollen goods as to virgin wool content !;
the Kenyon bill, TO control meat pack
ers urged restriction of immigration,
urged dismissal OF Louis +. Post, Immi-
cation Commissioners, and praised the
American Legion for its Ainericaniza-
ton work. He condemned the Nolan
bill. which seeks to levy a tax of per
cent on farm values III excess of $10,-
600.
The farmers were warned against
buying worthless stocks, Mr.. Smith de-
claring that 10 per cent. of all securi-
ties being fioated now are without value.

HAZING AT ANNAPOLIS.
Youngsters Accused of Doing What
They Objected To as Plebes.

To THE NEW York Herald: II the
trouble in the Naval Academy at An
napohs is caused by hazing, and II un-
doubtedly is. the perpetrators of the Of
fence should be court-martialled and
dismissed from the naval service because
they are unfit to become officers in the
United States Navy.
We all know there is a certain amount
of hazing done in the academies and
universities, and the good natured fun
we do not object to; as a general rule
no one objects TO the good natured kid
ding that is part of every piebes
training. What I object to, however,
is the fact that the very men who are
ungentlemanly action are the plebes OF
last year and the youngsters Of to-day.
1t was the plebes last year who cried
so bitterly at what they called oppres-
sion by the upper classmen, and now
they in turn would do the very things
they complained OF so strongly. Last
year when there was trouble Admiral
Scales, superintendent OF the Naval
Academy, asked the men TO desist from
ehcii ttcatinchl u AiS piSDes, anu 90
gentlemen they did so. II they did not
stop Admiral Scales told them he would
segregate the plebes from the upper
classmen, and the trouble then ended.
/ believe the same course was followed
this year and II the plebes have been
segregated from the rest of the student
body II must be because they broke their
word of honor. which Is an unpardona-
BILE offence in the United States Navy.
or because the youngsters misbehaved.
the youngsters of this year are the ones
who broke the law, and my reason for
assuming this is that they were the
only ones who were not asked to cease
hazing last year, being plebes, and that
the balance OF the upper classmen this
year were upper classmen last year and
were honor bound TO stop hazing.
know whereof I speak when I lay
the blame at the door of the youngster
class because / was an instructor at the
Naval Academy last year. Because of
my connections with the navy and the
traditions it holds dear feel compelled
to give vent to my feelings. 1 despise
man who squeals when a little pres
sure is put on him and says everybody
is against him, and yet when he gets a
chance becomes an arch bully. forgetting
how ridiculous he appears in the sight

MUGWUMP.
General Horace Porter's Definition OF
the Word in the Blaine Campaign.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: may be
wrong, vet with no consciousness OF
mugwumpery 1 believe you have over
looked the keenest, most accurate and
epigrammatlc definition of a mugwump
ever uttered. It's conception was the in
spiratlon OF the moment.
II remember correctly General Hor-
ace Porter was delivering n political
speech at Albany in the Blaine-Cleve-
land campaign. During a rather severe
and telling castigation Of the Mugwumps
some one in the audience shouted, What
is a Mugwump?"
The General replied with conviction:
"a Mugwump is man educated be-
yond his intellect"
The Generals conception OF a Mug
wump has been my guide these many
years in the use of the word.
I have applied the word mugwump to
Mr.. Wilson many, many times since his
entrance into public life. To my mind
mo more perfect specimen of the genus
mugwump ever existed.
In fact he Is a super-mugwump.

yenizeIos's Political Defeat.

The temporary defeat of VENIzELos
and the party of which he has been
the head since his return to the Pre-
miership on the dethronement Of Con-
sTANTINE seems certain. Messages
from Athens report that his opponents
in the general election on Sunday won
$50 of the 26S seats In the National
Assembly, enough to give them con-
troll Of the Government, and that
VENIZELos and his Cabinet have re
signed. There is, however, reason for
doubling that the retirement Of VENI.
zELos will be permanent; the opposi-
ton to him Is a combination of politi-
cal factions which will find difficulty
In agreeing upon a successor and may
eventually be forced to recall him to
the Premiership.
The popular vote might be taken to
indicate>a national disapproval of the
policies OF VENIzELos and desire for
the return Of the deposed CoNsTAS-
TINE or his eldest son, Prince GEORGE.
But with these two issues were com
plicated number Of other matters Of
purely internal interest and some
times Of distinctly local concern. An
other feature OF the election. is the
fact that VENIzELos may have proved
himself less Of a national politician
than an international statesman. Both
he and his party manifested over
confidence I'm the result; he was In
Greece scarcely more than thirty days

more than two weeks before the

vENIzELos's defeat came as a con-
siderable surprise TO the allied ma
