Here, we submit, Is an exposition
Of beauty that sets standard Of in
calculable value in the improvement
Of our national taste. 1t Is not like
an art museum that we visit occa-

ours that, as was suggested, we are
likely to forget how extraordinarily
fine q thing it is. But the eye is
taking in its impressions, none the

And in this week Of special deco
ration and display we can take
account Of our blessings and realize
afresh just how fortunate we are
to have this wealth Of beauty, drawn
from every continent and every sea,
from the present and from the past,
set down before us as If a magic

for. They can replace him; whereas
any individual legislator may sue
cessfully shelter himself behind
what he considers tho parochial in
terests Of his small constituency.
The budget system, with a limita-
ton on the power Of the Legislature
to increase appropriations recon-
mended to 1t, is the best guaranty
against official wastefulness. 1t, too,
must come. The Legislature simply
obstructs progress when it refuses to
approve real budget system or to
allow tho people to vote on constitu-
tiona1 amendments necessary to
clear the way for a reconstructed
state government.

airy, and an oath OF allegiance
may as properly be asked Of him as
Of any other public officer. The
state, we think. should close tho
schoolroo1ns to those who indulge in
anti-democratic utterances. It IL
nonsense to say that we'll trained
teachers will not abuse freedom Of
expression. They do. The exposures
in New York have shown that some
teachers are 80 prejudiced as to make
their classrooms propaganda CEN
tiers. The public may legitimately
forbid the mental poisoning Of those
Of immature years.
AS to the other two Lusk bills,
which provide for moro adequate in
struction of the foreign born, there
is no controversy. Too long has the
organized instruction Of foreign
born adults been neglected.
1t does not seem possible that the

proposals. They would hamstring
educational freedom and develop

back to conditions such as existed
during the centuries of intolerant
bigotry. Dealing with the exigencies
Of the hour, the Lusk committee, in
its investiga ton, performed valuable
patriotic service, but its members
should not confuse the particular
and the general and forget Ameri-
can ideals in their eagerness to CON-

innate development, but do not SUBJ

Strangling the Welfare Bills

The welfare bills have now reached
the Rules Committee Of the AS
sembly. They will stay In that COM
mittee unless and until Speaker
Sweet permits them to come out.
Unless they come out they cannot
be debated upon the floor of the AS
sembly. They will simply be stran-
gled to death without a word said
for or against, without a chance for
a vote or roll call by which the
men and women of New York may
know how their legislators stand on
these vital bills.
The same tactics have prevailed
for six years now. The eight-hour-
day bill has been introduced each
year for six years. Not once has
debate Of 1t upon the floor Of the
Assembly been permitted. Just once
in four years has debate Of the mini
mum wage bill been permitted.
This may seem smooth political
craftsmanship to the mind Of Mr..
Sweet. 1t seems to the voters of
New York like contemplate and un-
American iugglery Of our supposedly
representative institutions. Will Mr..
Sweet repeat these tactics in 1920?
VIII his fellow Republicans of the
Assembly permit him to repeat?
The TRIBUNE and great many Re.
publican voters are waiting OBJ.
servantly to find out.

Crossing the Mississippi

The results Of the Michigan pri-
mary, although keealy disappoint-
ing to the friends of General Wood,
who had hoped that his series of
victories would be uninterrupted,
show lively health among the Re-
publican rank and file. Although
The Tribune has not looked and
does not look with favor on the
candidacy of Hiram Johnson, be-
cause Of his Adullamite attitude
toward the league Of peace, never
theless it Is impelled to regard his
victory as wholesome indication
Of the freedom and the interest in
politics which must exist If party
membership is a virile thing. The
Presidential preference primary has
indicated itself in Michigan.
Senator Johnson, sharer with
Theodore Roosevelt in the labors
of 1912, is a Progressive of Pro-
gressives. He favors popular rule.
He not only defeated but slew in
California a corrupt ring which had
long ruled. He built up his own
machine in its stead, but it is a
different sort. A bit tempestuous
at times to those who love calm,
and perhaps too much a devotee of
the cult Of suspicion and scandal,
nevertheless it Is to be testified to
that his chief enemies are the
enemies Of the people. 1t may be
safely assumed that his appeal to
Michigan is not so much due to his
views with respect to the treaty as
because he is the contrary, let US
say, Of Speaker Sweet, and is for
ward-looking almost to the extent
of the quality being vice with him.
Locally some prejudice has been
excited against Senator johnson be-
cause Of the vociferous support Of
Hearst. But 1t is not likely that
the son of Grove johnson went to
Hearst Hearst, it may be assumed,
came to him, and it is not customary
in politics to apply the rule Of hating
q man because Of the friends he
seems to have attracted. Having
crossed the Mississippi, more is likely
to be heard of the johnson candi-
dacy. The plan Of having the dele
gates to- Chicago keep their minds
blank until the balloting begins will
scarcely work. The people want to
have hand in the Presidential
business.

The Lusk Bills

The City Club, an intelligently
progressive organization which has
never been accused Of sympathy
with obstructive radicalsm, has
subjected the five Lusk bills to
scrutiny. 1t condemns three and ap-
proves two, in each case cogently
presenting its reasons.
1t is not easy to see how any i'm
partial citizen who reveres the sea-
soned institutions Of his country can
fail to be impressed by the City
Clubs arguments.
The worst of the Lusk sisters is
tho bill which confers on a state
board authority to close any private
school whose curriculum or instruc-
ton is deemed "inimical to the pub
lie interest" An educational censor
ship is set up. Any political, ethical,
religious or scientific education
which meets it's Unbelievable disap-
proyal may be suppressed by decree
The doctrine sought to be estab-
lished thus does not differ from the
principle on which Calico was
silenced and Servetus burned at the
stake. Schools conducted by "well
recognized" religions are nominally
excluded by the bill, but obviously, if
narrow dogmatists secure control Of
the governing board land some time
they may, no religious school would
be safe.
Almost as Objectionable is the bill
clothing the Attorney General with
the inquisitorial powers Of grand
juries. A bureau. with 100000 at
its disposal, is to carry on spy work
in behalf Of enforcing the criminal
anarchy statute. The Attorney
General, given local Jurisdiction, may
conduct prosecutions to the exclusion
Of district ns:orneys, in violation OF
home rule. If the head of the star
chamber at Albany happens to be
q fanatic or a demagogue he can
run amuck. The criminal anarchy
statute should be enforced as other
penal laws are enforced, and does
not need the aid Of secret police.
This would be to lay the foundation
for reign Of terror, for the hear
ings are to be screened and witnesses
who are compelled to attend can be
forbidden TO tell that they were sum
moned.
The city Club also objects to tho
third bill, which requires teachers to
furnish evidence Of loyalty to the in
stitutions OF the country and it's
laws. From tho condemnation Of
this bin The Tribune must dissent.

Tho Caul6cld Bill
To tho Editor of Tho Tribune.

10 the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: Thank you for your editorial Of
tc-day's date In regard to the Caulfeld
bill creating a state secret police. Tho
proposal is quito as vicious as you say.
I wonder whether you are aware that
we already have on our statute books a
law tho provisions Of which are al
most identical with tho Caulneld bill.
Chapter b96 Of the laws of 1917 en-
powers the Attorney General, when au-
ttorized by the Governor, to conduct
Inquiries into matters affecting the
public peace. safety or Justice. For
this purpose 1t empowers him to ap-
point such Investigators and clerical
assistants as may be necessary without
regard to civil service standards and
without revealing their names to anr
one save the Governor. It empowers
him and those delegated by him co
conduct secret hearings and for that
purpose to compel tho attendance Of
witnesses. A further provision makes
it misdemeanor for any person to
reveal anything that takes place at
such secret hearings except to tho Gov
ernor or the Attorney General.
In short, the only points Of differ
ence between the existing law and the
CaulAeld proposal arc that at present
the Attorney General must get tho
permission Of the Governor and an
appropriation before he embarks on one
Of his secret investigations. Tho Caul-
field bill would relieve him Of these
requirements. Tho Lusk bill Is. Int,
1118) would have the Same effect II
passed. although It does not TO appear
on Its face because no mention is mado
OF tho act Of 1917 referred to above.

Mr.. Hoouer's Travels
To the Editor of Tha Tr,hnn.

10 the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: Is it permitted to suggest In
your columns that some confusion ap-
parently exists in tho minds Of many
as to Mr.. Hoover's Americanism7
Without doubt Mr.. Hoover has done
great work. Within his limitations
the writer also believes him to be as
American as any one can be who has
lived the greatest part Of his adult
life outside of the United States.
No man, although Amer can, can live
outside of this country for any length
OF time and remain in touch with it,
people, their thoughts. feelings and as
pirations. 1t is one thing to be Amer
lean. Many "Americans" have lived
abroad for one reason or other for
twenty or thirty years. Ii is a vastly
different thsssg to know the heart Of
the American people. 1t cannot DO
done by spending a week perhaps =
month or two--a year in the United
States.
An ardent admirer of Mr.. Hoover
recently support@A the latter's Amer
canism by oGsssng a mimeographed
statement, among other things. that
Mr.. Hoover "had spent some part Of
each year of his life, except three.
IN the United States" This may be
true, but does it qualify Mr.. Hoover
to lead us7
That President will fail who has lost
touch with the thought Of the people
who elected him. ere Is no better
illustration Of this than Wilson. who.
at the peace conference and after. a.
tempted to barter the liberties Of his
country for the empty dream Of
league Of nations. Had Wilson listened
to tho voice Of the people and not stood
aloof In rapt contemplation Of his
vision. he would not have failed 20
miserably as their leader and inter
prefer.
In this view 1t would be most IN.
teresting to have produced an authen.
ticated record Of Mr.. Hoover's actual
presence in the United States during
the last twenty years. Such a RECORD
would DO as far from consoling ho
friends AZ it would be unconvincing 70
his opponents. JOHN RlDGWAY.

Still Antediluvian

Among the measures Row in the
Sweet "morgue" are the resolutions
for constitutional changes to recon.
struct the state government. These
have the support Of all who seek to
modernize state methods, to intro
duce unity and order into admins
tration and to eliminate the waste
which is inevitable under the present
haphazard methods. But they are
opposed by the officeholding HER
archy and by legislators who, for
various reasons, don't want to sur
render control.
There are two main features in
the plan submitted by the State Re-
construction Commission. One deals
with the consolidation Of admins
trative power. The other reforms the
budget system, shifting responsible
ity for state expenditure and for
the tax burdens from the Legislature
to the Executive. These two features
are not interlocking. Either could be
adopted without adopting the other.
Our present state government is a
misshapen growth. 1t is briar tan
gle-a maze in which all direction
is lost. Responsibility is so dispersed
that intelligent control is no longer
possible. There are in existence 1877
state offices, boards, commissions
and other agencies. Administrative
state officers are not accountable to
the Governor. There are many
virtually Independent department
heads, with much longer terms than
the Governors. Duplication Of
powers and activities leads to chronic
friction and deadlock. The state
cannot get its business done because
Of the multiplicity Of boards and
functionaries.
The simplest way to restore order
and cut away the noxious under
brush is to abolish the Independent
departments and the elected minor
officials and to center authority in a
Governor elected for longer term
-four years at least-ard vested
with power over all his subordinates.
That is the way Of modern business
efficiency. Other states have set
their houses in order by coming to
it. Pressure for economy and ra-
tional administration will eventually
force New York to follow suit.
The budget reform recommended
parallels the budget reform which
Congress seems about ready TO ac-
cept. 1t is wiser to intrust general
. responsibility for expenditure to tho
head Of the executive department.
who asks for appropriations and
spends them, than to a Legislature
OF POI members, each accountable to
only small fraction Of the popula-
ton. The Governor represents tho
entire state. 1t 10 the fault Of the
people who elect him IL he lacks the
broader view which his Office calls
