Democratic disappointment over
the election of BuRsUM. the Repub-
lican candidate for United States
Senator from New Mexico. is more
bitter than It was over the loss OF the
State to HARDING last year. In the
election for President partisanship
was swept away everywhere except
In the solidest part Of the Solid South
by the transcendent issue Of saving
the country from perilous adventures
abroad and ruinous mismanagement
at home. In that national election
there seemed to be little thought and
even less talk Of Republicanism and
Democracy when the vast majority OF
the nation was bent upon getting the
country out of the national and inter-
national mess into which it had been
thrust not as the Democratic party's
policy but as the imperious will and
infiexible programme Of a single
man.
But the veterans Of public life have
taken it for granted that with the
great restoration of American prin-
ciples by that election of 1920 Demo
cratic States would again gravitate
toward the Democratic party as nat
urally as water seeks its level. New
Mexico in its brief period Of State
hood had shown itself to be a Demo-
cratic State until Mr.. WILSON'S Ad-
ministration threw it over to the
Harding column by plurality Of
some 1000. That the State is still
turned away from the Democratic
party, after the Wilson issue has
been disposed Of for good and all. is
the staggering blow to those Demo
cratic leaders who are now trying to
explain that the vote was very
Eight"
But, whether the vote was light or
not, and whether BuRsUM's plurality
should prove to be 5000 or 1000 as
against HARDING's of 1000 last year,
the fact remains that the Democratic
voters Of Democratic New Mexico
saw no more reason for getting out
and voting their party ticket in 1921
than they had seen in 1920.
1t is possible, therefore, that thou
sands Of Democrats the country over
were converted away from their own
party by it's own titular leader,
rather than to any other party, for
all time. This is the thing about the
New Mexico election for Senator
which has struck anguish into the
heart of the professional Democratic
politician.

Twelve notable paintings by old mas
tiers, including a Rembrandt, have been
hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
for an Indefinite period as the loan of
Charles Chauncey Stillman. in memory
Of his father, James Stillman. it was an

Murillo.
The Rembrandt, which is hung IN
Gallery 26, shows Titus at the age or
about 10. rudy of face, wearing a
broad cap and sitting in an armchair
resting his chin on his hands. There
is no trace in the boys face Of tuber-
cuIosis, which developed in his late
twenties and which is plainly visible in
later paintings of Titus. who was one
OF his fathers favorite models. The
portrait was painted about 1860 and
was formerly In the collection OF the
Duke Of Rutland. The museum now has
on view about twenty Rembrandts.
The Murillo is Madonna and Child,

The Gun Behind the Mail Bag.

When ostmaster-General HAYS
took stock in his department last
April. month after he succeeded
Mr.. BuRLEsoS, he found that the
mail robberies for the preceding year
had amounted to $6,346,407, with a
recovery OF $3,2S6,O17.
In the next five months, from April
3 70 September Z, the total amount
stolen was only sSs,5s0. with re-
covery of s7S,555. Mr.. HAYS. had re.
duced the monthly average net loss
from S250,000 to $4,000.

The world may not store away all
the wisdom which emanates from the
League of Nations, but it will at
least remember the announcement
Of one of the League members upon
the subject Of bombardments. When
asked for statement regarding the
Smelling Of five Albanian villages on
the Serbian-Albanian border by Ser.
bian artillery M. SpALAIKovITcH, the
chief of the Serbian delegation now
in Geneva, said:
"Such things are Occurring all the
time. It has no Importance"
This 1ightsome method of treating
what in the law between nations Is
considered a most grievous offence
savors sweetly Of all the charms OF
idealism. If it had been accepted in
the past what heap of war mis-
cries and horrors it would have
spared the world! How reprehensi.
BILE now seems the conduct of the
aged Serbian Premier, Mr.. PAsIroH,
when in July, 1914, the Austrians
and >Hungarians set up their bat.
teries in the Danube valley at the
mouth of the Drina and began pour
ing shells and bombs into Belgrade,
destroying churches, wrecking public
buildings, devastating homes and
sending a whole townful of people
fleeing to the mountains for their
lives! If instead Of calling down the
vengeance of the war gods PAsITcH
had only looked Europe calmly in
the eyes, placed his hands benignly
upon the arms Of France and Russia
and with a gently deprecating shrus
Of the shoulders said cit has nc
Importance" how different things
might have been!
But in those pre-League days this
could not be done. Nations then in
sisted on looking upon a lombard
ment much as a man looks upon q
blow in the FACET is of Importance
enough to fight about. Now the
weaker nations. such as Albania, arc
gathered under the sheltering wing:
Of the League covenant. Albania:
very weakness was reason for thai
strong protection which she would
get from the League members who
were her neighbors.
Then one morning she wakes tt
find that the most powerful Of these
neighbors is taking pot shots at the
wooden minarets OF her villages
knocking the plaster off her kulas
destroying the peoples homes and
sending those who have not been
killed or wounded to the cliffs. Well
may she exclaim "Is this the way FOL
one member to treat another"
The League Council apparently
generously accepts Serbia's explana'
ton and would end the matter there
If Albania is still wrought up and
wants to fight let her be thrown
bodily out OF the League for lack OF
the true spirit Of idealism.

Is famous for the quality of the
shooting to he had within its Dor
ders. Not only duck but snipe. wood
cock. quail and every other winged
thing that is classed as game are
found in abundance. It is only nat
ural that ducking clubs and private
shooting preserves should be numer-
GUS there.
The best duck shooting In Louisi-
ana is at or near the mouth OF the
Mississippi River, and it is in this
region that the new reservation,
which will have accommodations for
100 shooters at time, will be. All
but one lagoon in the 10000 acres,
which are dotted with ponds. will be
open to the public In this retreat
the birds will find a refuge from the
gunners.
| Only those who know the lower
reaches Of Louisiana can appreciate
the rapidity with which the Missis-
sippi makes land at its mouth. The
high ground in the State virtually
ends at Baton Rouge. about 100 miles
north Of New Orleans, and the terri
tory below the capital is alluvial de-
post borne amid the yellow depths
Of the great river for thousands OF
years. Excavations which bring to
the surface logs as sound as the day
they were overwhelmed furnish proof
that it is made ground. The mar
vellous fertility Of the soil is further
evidence.
The Pass-a-l'Outre region is the most
recent deposits of the of securing car
ried by the Mississippi and disgorged
at the entrance to the Gulf Of Mex
leo. 1t is an ideal haven for wild
fowl, as many of the ponds have been
isolated, the ground in many in
stances not being solid enough to
bear the weight Of man. It is Of
, the same character as the well known
prairies tremblantes found in the
Teche country, on which much Of
the snipe shooting is done. Many a
hunter has had a tough time in re-
gions where his steps would shake
an area 100 or more feet square.
The season for shooting wild fowl
in Louisiana opens on November l
and closes on the last day Of Janu-
airy. The bag will be limited to
twenty-five birds a day.

The drops that precede the sweep
ing storm Of incidents which make
up the great musical season Of New
York will soon begin to patter on the
platforms Of the music halls. Once
the downpour has begun there will be
few days between then and the mid
die of March that do not bring the
invariable concerts. Piano players.
vocalists, manipulators Of the fiddle
and the bow, virtuosi Of the bull
fiddle, recital givers In every field
known to music, will soon be wait
ing to spring at the patient public.
Managers of concert halls already ex-
press establishment at the numerous
engagements made by the artists.
In addition to these soloists there
are orchestras, local and visitant;
quartets and occasional choruses.
But it is the individual performer
who will be most frequently found
on the platform. He or she, in five
cases out of six, is entirely unknown.
Undying fame is to be established
through this first concert. The de-
gree to which art and nature have
combined to produce virtuoso is to
be determined by its event. 1t is
only for this purpose that such in
troductory affairs are given.
The general public is not Of course
expected to take heed of such begin
nings. There is time enough for its
support once fame has been firmly
gripped By the artist. The chase
after this elusive gift continues with
increased fervor every year. The ag-
gregate cost of all these concerts
must mount into the hundreds Of
thousands before season has passed.
Expense is disregarded. The per-
sistency with which the young musi-
clan keeps at the task and the bot
tomless gold mine which makes all
these tentative appearances possible
are sources Of unending wonder. The
musical year in New York invariably
poses two questions to observers:
Where do the candidates for fame
come from? Whence their money?
or course there rarely is time to
question where they go to, since a
considerable majority drop into the
dimmest obscurity. Their numbers
do cause surprise that the season
should be so short. Since the object
OF the music makers is merely to
introduce themselves to the world
there is no reason why it should not
be done just as favorably in Septem-
Der or April as during the crowded
months that make UP the short must
cal season. Whatever happens, no
money is to be earned from these
artistic adventures. In effect only
official praise is sought. There would
be much more opportunity for thor
ough and considerable estimate of
their powers IL these youthful vir.
tuosi came along ut less busy pc.
RODS of the year. They are likely
to suffer when there are mature and
recognized artists to be considered.

Games Of Glory.

In days OF yore q maiden's dreams
Were OF lover bold
Who courted her with ardent vows
And gifts OF gems and gold.
And bore her Off some moonlight night
A la young Lochinvar;
But now her sole ambition Is
To be tennis star.
Once on a time a youth desired
To be a buccaneer,
Or Indian scout immune alike
To tomahawks and fear.
Or soldier with clanlSlng sword;
But 10 such stuff is off.
His dearest wish is to become
A champion at golf.

Hylan's Call for a Boycott.

Mayor HYLAY's proclamation ito
the business men, merchants and
shopkeepers of New York city" is one
of the literary curiosities of poll
tics. 1t is the first time In the his
tory of this town, so far as we are
aware, that Mayor or any other
man in high Office has openly and
officially advised advertisers to put
boycott on the press.
"Some of the newspapers"-and by
this Mr.. HYLAN means those that are
showing up his administration and
opposing his reelection-"are doing
everything they can to wreck the
town commercially"
Thus speaks the Mayor under
whose direction the Dock Department
permitted the lessees Of twenty-four
piers to squeeze 100000 out Of sub
iessees, driving ships to ports where
they would not be gouged by Tam
many grafters.
Thus speaks the Mayor under
whose administration the city mar
ket space was let to those who, in
their own picturesque phrasing, got
honey for money.
Thus speaks the Mayor who signed
a letter which had been drafted by
3 the willy HETTRIcK for the purpose of
putting commercial rivals out Of
business.
s Thus speaks the Mayor whose mu-
nicipal mismanagement and squan-
der have sore burdened 'the business
men, merchants and shopkeepers OF
New York city" with inordinate taxes
and insufferable rents.
or course the business men, mer-
chants and shopkeepers' Of New
York are chuckling over HYLAN's
proclamation as heartily as anybody
can chuckle over an attempt to coerce
the press. They have watched HYLAN
and his administration for nearly
four years. They have seen the Po-
lice Department go to pot, the Dock
s4Jcpdl tuiCHI pus Ol siO ohSeAoh SAo~AA
OF graft, the markets made the scene
or blackmail, the schools democrat
feed. They have watched taxes go
up and public service go down.
IL HYLAN had it in his power to
put the screws on every advertiser
and drive him out Of the newspapers
the exposure OF Hylanism would still
60 on in the honest press.
The Mayor will have to make a
more intimate appeal to q certain
circle IL he wants any advertising
withdrawn.
Is Morton Pete, the stock which
jumped 2iis points to oblige HYLAN's
Police Commissioner, advertised?
Can't ESRIoHT get the makers OF
the motor car which DR.. HABRrss let
him take Ga loan, mind you, only a
Ioan) to stop advertising?
Is the terra Gotta building trust
advertising?
Is the honey for money" market
man advertising?
DO Carroll, Hagan G Carroll, Tam
many beneficiaries OF HYLAN's dock
system, advertise?
These are prospects from which
the Mayor might expect welcome
for his great boycott idea.
