Market for Coffee

NEW YORK, July 16.-(A. P.)-
The market for coffee futures was less
active today but showed a firmer tone
on covering and buying for a reaction
after recent sharp declines. AS yester-
day was a holiday in Brazil there were
no early cables to influence sentiment
here at the opening but first prices
were to IA points higher and the

A Great Bath Drive.

Who can say where the passion for
Great Drives will bring their follow
ers to? The latest urge is the Take
a Bath Every Day Drive. Those
earnest strivers for the public's good,
the plumbers and steamfitters, seem to
be back of the movement, for one of
their trade journals, Domestic ERgi-
neerin1. starts it off under sixty
pounds pressure and with both taps
open. From the ancient Greeks to
the modern doctors, men Of note are
called TO testify for the daily tub.
Another trade publication, the Wire
Message Of Yonkers, gets In the swim
with classic article on "Bathtubs
and Democracy" and contributes the
historical information that the first
bathtub in this country was made in
Pittsburg by ADAM THOMPSON and
was first used on December 20, 1912.
Mr.. THOMPSON was criticised, the ar
ticle says, for drifting toward epcu-
rean luxury and the next year, bath
tubs having raised their threatening
heads In Virginia, Il State tax of $50
a year was put on them.
From the interest Of the plumbers
in this drive it may be supposed that
bathtubs are not wearing out rapidly
enough for the good of the trade. But
what of the water supply? An or
ganlzation which sent It's shoppers
around Brooklyn few years ago re-
ported that one bath in five days was
the Brooklyn Individuals average. If
the bath drive has it's way Brooklyn
will need daily 100000 gallons Of
water more than it has been using
AS the Deputy Commissioner of
Water Supply in Brooklyn recently
complained that he could not get
enough water from the Catskill sys-
tenn n serious problem may appear
1t is to be hoped that the bath drive
will not take on the intimate methods
of most of the public campaigns
Many daily tubbers would object to
wearing button boasting the fact.
although the average cold shower
fiend is always telling about his Spar
tan performances.

DANGER ON SIDEWALKS.
Complaints of Automobiles Driven
Recklessly on InwOOd Streets.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Inwood
residents are protesting against having
the streets and avenues in their part of
the city used as automobile speedways.
For a long time automobile drivers
have been more or less reckless. but
ever since some of the streets and ave-
nues of Inwood have been paved with
asphalt they have exceeded all limits
Because of this state of affairs drivers
who observe the law and pedestrians also
are in constant danger. Moreover. men,
women and children using the sidewalks
are in almost as much peril from these
recklessly run automobiles as are per-
sons crossing from curb to curb.
TO illustrate the state of affairs now
existing take the case of Dyckman street
where asphalt recently replaced mac
adam. About a month ago there was
a collision between two automobiles at
Sherman avenue. One car was thrown
on its back, leaving the wheels spinning
in the air, while the other was shunted
off to the sidewalk. whore it crashed
through a fence and went half way down
into lot narrowly missing crushing
some PERSONS VINO were snort cutting
across th&lot
y few nights later fast moving auto
mobile knocked down man and a
woman at the same corner.
The most serious accident of all took
place a few nights ago at the same juno
ton. A taxicab containing a professional
woman hurrying in response to a'call
for aid was crushed and partly demol-
ished by high powered automobile. The
chauffeur of the taxicab was seriously
injured and the passenger was hurt. and
1t was remarkable that both escaped
death. A policeman who gave the tour
ing car a superficial examination re-
marked that he thought the brakes were
defective. but witnesses said that the
large car was running at high speed and
the chauffeur seemed unable to stop it
until the taxicab had been pushed down
into a lot after breaking through a rail
fence RESIDENT.

Transportation Improvements in
This Years Election.

At the election on November 2 the
sum of $2T1 100000 was voted by the
electors of six States for improve
ment of their transportation systems,
according to figures collected by the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. This expenditure will supple
ment the $272, 100000 for improve
ments authorized by twelve other
States since 1913. The Federal Gov
ernment's contribution to highway i'm
provement in the same period is set at
$160,000,0O0
1t will be seen that since the fight
Ing stopped in Europe the better part
Of three-quarters of a billion dollars
has been appropriated for road build
ing in this country, no account being
taken in this computation Of the great
sums devoted to IL by counties, cities,
towns and incorporated villages.
Under appropriations now In force
or authorized the expenditure of $780,
100000 on road building is expected
in 1921. Seven of the eight States
which on November acted favor-
ably on proposed highway bond issues
or enabling acts did so for the first
time in their history. The States in
which highway bond issues carried
and the amounts authorized are:

and British but also In the Russian

and British but also In the Russian
Governments. The former German En-
peror WILLIAM considered 1t a power
TO be reckoned with and he sought
the alliance and support Of the Mo-
hammedan chiefs when in his Pales-
tine Journey he announced himself as
the defender of Islam. But the utter
futility of his plan became evident
when he had the Sultan on his behalf
raise the Prophets standard and de-
clare war against the Entente Pow
ers. Despite the strong propaganda
carried on by German and Turkish
agents in Persia, India and northern
Africa the Moslem inhabitants re-
manned loyal to the Governments I'M
der which they lived and refused to
enter into the revolutionary outbreaks
In which Turkey and Germany had
endeavored to involve them.
1t was apparent that the jehad
could no longer be employed as a
military expedient to advance the in
terests of an ambitious ruler. The
Islamic world regretted the pass
ing Of power from Constantinople
and the dismemberment of the last
great Independent Mohammedan
State, but at the same time 1t recog-
nized that 1t was merely called upon
to substitute for British or French
control that of the Germans, con-
troll which the experience of Moham-
medan people had taught them was
more exacting than that which they
were urged to rebel against.
The new combination of forces
which Islam IS asked to join, that of
the Turkish Nationalist and the Rus
sian Bolsheviki, must make to the
thinking Moslem no stronger appeal
than that presented by any other of
the recent claimants to his support.
The Turkish Nationalists have dis
played no evidence either of great
growth or superior strength. The ex-
tensive propaganda which the Moscow
Soviet carried on in central Asia, At
ghanistan and In India has so far
shown no proof Of success while the
Bolshevist movements In Persia and
among the Mohammedans of southern
Russia have signally failed.
The Moslems are likely to take
the same view of this new movement
that the rest of the world does-that
it's purpose Is not to liberate IsI~m
but to aid the spread of Bolshevism
and TO help the Nationalist party to
establish itself in Turkey.

ONE IMMIGRATION RULE.
Advantage of Treating Japan and the
Other Nations Alike.

To THE New YORK HERALD The way
Tor this country TO settle the Japanese
question Is to prohibit all immigration
for two years and give all Chinese and
Japanese residing n the country the
same rights accorded to other aliens
At the same time all native American
Indians should be admitted to the privi-
lege of citizenship.
II after two years no labor shortage
is apparent the prohibition against i'm
migration should be renewed and con-
tinued indefinitely There are those who
propose that immigration from southern
and eastern Europe be prohibited and
immigration from northern and western
Europe he permitted. II this country
made such discrimination 1t would have
not only the Japanese question but sew
eral European questions also TO deal
with
The settl ament OF the Japanese ques-
ton will not save this country from
trouble. but II Is 1ighly important that
the country should have right on It's
side. The nations Of the Old World
have 600,000,00O surplus population they
want to send TO this country. and they
viii insist on sending their surplus peo-
pie here as they have been doing and
as the immigration interests arc encour-
aging them to do The American people
should be prepared to fight for their very
existence in the near future, when the
time of great trlbulatlon comes.

Inmates that ii is necessary that limo
cent men should suffer injustice oc-
casionalIy and thus become martyrs
for the public good. On this point 1t
is satisfactory to refer to the care
full estimate made by the late Sir
JAMES FITzJANEs STEPHEN that in
England In his time only one case
out of a thousand turned out TO be
a case of false conviction. The same
learned Judge was accustomed to
point out that the common law does
not attempt to punish all men in
fact guilty of crime, but only those
whom twelve jurors shall deem TO be
guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.
Whatever may be the case in some
State courts, we are informed by
those familiar with practice In the
Federal courts that undue considera-
ton for the rights Of accused per-
sons IS not glazing fault of those
tribunals. AS a former member of
the United States judiciary Mr.. TAFT
is probably familiar with the old say
ing among lawyers that Federal
court, like a court-martial, is always
organized to convict.

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1920.
The Thanksgiving Day Riot.

There is only one way in which
right thinking Americans can regard
the outrageous mob attack on the
Union Club in Fifth avenue on Thanks
giving Day. No other view of the
incident is possible than that which
separates it from all other considera-
lions and distinguishes clearly be-
tween the order Of law and the vio-
lcnce of mob frenzy.
This mob of men and women, pre-
sumably for the most part American
citizens. were impelled by their ha-
tred Of foreign flag, decently and
rightfully displayed at the Union
Club, along with the French EN-
blem and the Stars and Stripes, in
honor of memories running back three
centuries and wholly disconnected
from the national or international
politics of the present day, to attack
the clubhouse, to invade 1t and to
destroy its property, producing such a
spectacle Of turbulence as that part
Of New York had not witnessed since
the draft riots Of 1863.
That the provocative flag was a
British flag makes no difference. If
it had been italian or French or Jap
anesc or Greek the criminal response
bility of the uisturbers Of the peace
would have been the same. Sympa-
thy for these rioters, these lawbreak-
crs, is not sympathy for the cause sug-
costing their hysterical performance
1t is sympathy for anarchy and
nothing less or more.
Somewhat more than Il hundred
million Americans were thanking
Heaven on Thursday for the blessings
of liberty and personal security under
an ordered reign Of law. This coun-
try is not going to permit any faction
of it's citizenship, whatever its dimen-
sions, however it may be hyphenated
or self-described. to fight out here the
fights of alien interest or to assail
unchecked the very foundation Of the
States existence.

Benefits From the Loss OF Govern
ment Jobs.

One of the plans for national
economy calls for the dismissal of
100000 Of the 100000 Government en-
ployees Most of the persons who will
be let go are clerks Their discharge
will mean saving of nearly half a
billion dollars a year to the nation.
The taxpayers naturally will be
glad to hear that placeholders are to
be reduced in number. Most of the
clerks who are to be discharged ought
to be glad too. They may not think
so, but every young man who is put
cut of a Federal clerkship will owe
the Government debt of gratitude.
Washington, where the Government
clerk is seen at his best and his worst,
Is the tomb of thousands Of possible
young men. 1t has been one of the
traditions, surviving from a lost past,
that a Government clerkship was a
fine thing. The clerk had steady pay,
little work and short hours Once IN
closed on the appointee. He became
machine, usually an utterly unin-
telligent one. The easiness Of the job
softened him; his leisure bored him.
He lost contact with his old home.
Even the member who had him APP
pointed forgot him. And every addi-
tional month he stayed in Washing
ton made it so much more impossible
for him to return to his old business,
whatever that was.
Nearly 100000 Federal employees
are now In Washington treading the
mill that grinds ambition to shreds.
About one-fourth of these will be set
free under the proposed programme Of
economy. They will go back from
Pennsylvania avenue to Main street.
The Federal bureau will hear no more
the lazy scratch Of their pens. The
Washington boarding houses will hear
no more their little stories of how they
came to be appointed They will not
spend their summer afternoons watch
ing WALTER JOHNSON pitch; some will
be pitching hay themselves.
But every one of the fired clerks,
If he amounts to anything, will in
his gray hairs bless the day when
Uncle SAM voted him, as GEORGE ABE
puts it, the hardware.

PASSING OF OUR GAME.

To THE New York HERALD: TO those
of us still possessing the trait OF an

the almost complete absence of game Of

war.lens are all sorrowful indications of
the passing out from these parts of this
oldest and best of natures sports with
its associated invitation TO get out in
the great open where cares and worries
of the world recede and fade away.
The newspapers frequently publish let
ters unjustiy holding the hunter in some
way responsible for the thinning out of
the game life, notwithstanding that In
the delectable days of thirty-odd years
ago 1t was common sight here to see
large fiocks OF wild pigeons: very fire.

were flushed even near towns and set
Elements; ducks. snipe. highholders and
other birds were plentiful.
Though there was then no restriction
OF the hunting season and game war
dens were as scarce as the game of to-
day, there was no perceptibe diminu-
ton Of the birds until the inception
of the electric searchlights on the river
night boats. which frightened them away
from the woods on the hill slopes fac
ing the river. Later the omnipresent
automobile did the rest to the other
slopes
Then along came the chestnut blight
which took away partridge's choicest
food, the chestnut, as stated by John
Burroughs himself. Not a single chest
nut has been produced by the Empire
State in years. Again our failure to estab-
lish caches and food stations in known
bird haunts, as is done in some or the
other States accounts for the taking off
OF many birds during the unusually
severe winters OF 1917-1S and the last
one.
Progressive Massachusetts has a
standing offer of a reward of $500 to
the hunter bringing In a wild pigeon.
An offer by this State of correspond

of the ancient rules and regulations per-

view to their elimination where they do
