NOW PETRUCHlO IS TO GO.

It is curious characteristic Of the true reformer
that he is never satisfied One vany discovered
does but lead to the unearthing Of another just as
one victory won causes a craving for fresh worlds
to conquer.
All this is suggested incidentally with char
acteristic vigor by Mr.. watterson in his "Narsc
Henry" where he says:-"It looks MS though the
United States, having exhausted the reasonable
possibilities Of democracy, is beginning to turn
crank. Look at woman suffrage by federal edct:
look at prohibition by act Of Congress and consti-
tutional amendment; tobacco next to walk the
plank, and then--Lord how glad feel that am
nearly hundred years old and shall not live to
see it," II is to be feared that Mr. Watterson has
very old fashioned views
But for fresh in point. Only the other
day the proposal Of an Association of Fat Men to
have the plays of Shakespeare in which Sir John
Falstaff appears excluded from the stage and the
schools as involving serious reflection on some
Of the most substantial members Of the community

INTRODUCE US, PLEASE.

Before there can be recognition there must be
introduction Md some degree Of knowledge or
familiarity. Various HERALD correspondents are
urging that Armenia be recognized by America as
an independent government.
First Of all, though, the United States should be
introduced to Armenia-where is it and what is
it? Surely the Armenians not content to have
the little Armenian Republic of Ararat recognized
as the present and future government of their
people. They need and deserve for sef-expression
larger opportunity than this petty state in the
Russian Caucasus affords
The simple fact apparently overlooked by our
correspondents is that the size and character and
location Of whatever Armenia is to emerge from
the war remains to be determined by the peace
conference when the fate of Turkey is settled.
Vaguely the word Armenia" is used of an inde-
terminate geographical area extending from the
Caucasus into Asia Minor. There are no boun-
daries agreed upon by any responsible body. Save
for the tiny Armenian Republic of Ararat there
exists no such country as Armenia. We hope that
there may be. But until the peace conference has
brought it into existence America, Of course, can
not recognize it.
Thus simple fact once more punctures fervid
sentiment.

SEAMEN AND "RED INK"

To THE EDrror OF THE HERALD -
I am a true born American and served
in the recent world war as a naval OFF,
Ger. had the pleasure of reading the
HERALD recently in reference to the "red
INK license or provisional license" \
good many of our good American born
citizens who also served in this last world
war have been sidetracked and the for
eigners in this country who have evadcd
obtain the Endorsement of red ink, license
and get the preference over Americans.
A good many Of these red ink men who
are not citizens and don't intend to be-
come citizens are holding down the best
positions as port engineers and port cap
tains in various A:neri can steamship conf
panies. The supposition Is that the for
eigner is superior to the American. This
l fail to understand, as the American en-
gineers are the best in the world market
today -
Our engineers ability proved this dur
ing the war in reconditioning and repair
irg the former German ships and trans
porting our boys TO France. II is about
time that Uncle Sam gave this nlattsr
a serious consideration and abolished tne
red ink license and stopped this discrimi-
nation against us Americans.
We Americans are compelled to go to
sea and the foreigners with the red ink
license stay ashore and enjoy the fruits
of life which rightly belong to the Amer
lean citizen.

CHURCHMEN THINK IMPERIALLY.

tive churchmen of many faiths and from widely
separated sections OF the country. These men and
women are officials and leaders in their various

the means in their power, a proposed revival of
The Tanning OF the Shrew," play which is asso-
ciated so notably with the old Dalys Theatre
now, alas! thing Of the past as an organization
and the early careers of Mr. John Drew and Miss
Ada Rehan.
1t is pointed out that Petruchio of Verona, who
subjected Katharina, the daughter of Baptista, 70
such gross indignities while he was engaged in
the process OF tanning her, by his very success
tends to revive in the male spectator Il certain re-
spect for the rough and authoritative manners Of
husbands in some foreign countries and in the
Dark Ages.
Besides, it is alleged by these critics OF the So
called comedy that the climax is absurd. No mod
ern woman endowed by Providence with such con-
versational powers as Kate had would ever have
been cowed by the cracking Of whip in the hands
of such a boor as the one she had married. On
the contrary, she would have turned the tables on
her oppressor. would have given him tongue
lashing such as he would never have forgotten and
would have ruled the roost from that time on.
Anyway it is felt that just as it is bad for menl
bers of the weak masculine sex to be reminded of
the evil times when they could get drunk. so it in
wolves reflection on the stronger Of women
that the men should be reminded of the fact that
their forefathers had the right to beat their
wives provided they did it in reason" the old
law books say.

SAVE THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

The high cost Of living with the low purchasing
power Of the dollar is endangering the rural edu
cational facilities Of the six New England States
and those of New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and West Virginia. At conference of
Commissioners Of Education from those States ii
was reported that thousands Of rural communities
have been forced to close their schools because
Of the dearth of teachers In this State one thou
sand country schools have been abandoned be-
cause no teachers are available. There is short
age Of five thousand teachers in New York State.
Attendance at the State normal schoolsshas fallen
off from one-quarter to one-half. In the words
Of one Commissioner 1.-THE public school system OF
the country is face to face with disaster"
In the opinion of the Commissioners substantial
and immediate increase in teachers salaries is
the only remedy. A programme was outlined
whereby public attention might be called to the
situation urging that it be remedied at once so
that "the professor could compete on the same
terms with business"
Never was this country in more need of whole
some education than now Never was it more in
need of sanity. If the nation is to be saved for
future generations the common schools must be
placed in the first line of defence. II brawn is
to be given greater rewards than brain: if the
given greater pecuniary rewards than the man or
woman who moulds the thought of the coming
generation, who is helping to build mental and
moral structure vastly more important than struc-
lures Of steel or stone, there is little hope for
America. Intelligence, patriotism and personal
interest in their chosen work Of teaching merit
adequate pccuniary rewards. Such investments
will pay the largest dividends to the public. They
will have the nation.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD =

! 10 TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD -
In your editorial today on the New York
Assembly's suspension Of five Socialists
you struck powerful blow for true con-
, servatism, the preservation of what il
established, and you deserve the thanks
OF all who believe that the most precious
thing established among us and most
necessary to be preserved is American
liberty.
1t is. indeed, time to go slow" II
is even time for every American who
believes in representative government to
say malt to the extremists who are work
ing up and using for their own purposes
the prevailing hysteria against every
thing that justly or unjustly may be called
radical or red"
DO not the Assemblymen see the posi-
1--WE danger to the whole structure OF
our government in their action? Do thew
not realize that the menace is enormously
exaggerated by the brutal manner in
which Speaker Sweet conducted the Who'll,
at1air? Can they not understand n
RIDICULOUS position in which they place
NOT only themselves, but all the forces
and forms on which we must rely for
ordered liberty?
Their course is directly in line with
the remark recently made by 4. T.
Langtry, Secretary Of State Of Massa
chusetts, that, IL he could, he would Zine
up and shoot the reds first and try them
afterward,' for which anarchistc utter
ance he has been roundly denounced by
the sane conservatives of this State.
