One of the adherents of the interests
in Tallahassee, in opposing Hunters
oil bill, wept few crocodile tears
over the poor farmer, whose humble
oil lamp would be over-taxed. Mr..
Hunter replied that the poor farmer
would have to pay fraction of cent
a gallon tax, that is. if the oil sellers
didn't add any more than the tax to
the cost of his OIL, On the other hand,
if the bill becomes law, it will lift a
good deal of the tax burden off the
shoulders of the poor farmers and the
other poor people.

The Tampa Tribune woefully weeps
that the two cents barrel tax on
crude oil proposed in Hunters bill
would keep oil-carrying shipping out
of Jacksonville, Tampa and other
Florida ports. We don't see why, I'M

railroad, which are much higher than
water, rates. A few months ago,
crude oil was selling at about twice
its present rates. Did that divert the
shipping from Florida ports?

The Last Mysteries

The Mysteries of the gallery at Sir
Philip Gibbs's lecture at Carnegie
Hall represented the dwindling mi
nority of Sim Fein. Father Duffy,
in his plucky plea for fair play and
candid discussion, spoke for the rap
idly mounting majority of Irishmen
everywhere. Every report from Ire
land confirms this fact. The repub-
lie is discarded dream, save among
the few screaming extremists such
as tried to break up the Gibbs
meeting.
A large work of reconciliation re-
mains to be done. The mechanism of
compromise must be adjusted. But
once the South of Ireland rejects it's
hysterical extremists there is genu-
inc hope. Provided foreign domina-
tion is guarded against and Eng
lands command of Ireland as a mill
tary base secured, and provided the
rights of religious minorities are
protected, England is undoubtedly
ready to accede the largest measure
of sef-government to her other
islands.
The chief difficulty remaining is
precisely those wild separatists who
howled down Sir Philip Gibbs. Such
group of Mysteries, however small,
is constant source of irritation and
incitement. Father Duffy and Sir
Philip Gibbs both kept their heads
and tempers in face of these antics.
Other folk on either side of the Irish
Channel are not so fair minded or
self-controlled. And just as this hand
full of radicals kept all Carnegie Hall
III an uproar and seriously interfered
with calm discussion, SO this remnant
Of Sim Fein die-hards keeps the
South of Ireland in a turmoil and
England wrathful to an extent ut
terly disproportionate to their num-
bers or Importance.
AS for the audiences demonstra-
ton of good will to England it is
undoubtedly representative of the
overwhelming sentiment of America
once one gets beneath surface irri-
tations. Here again the silent many
have little chance to stand up and
be counted; the obstreperous few are
perpetually vocal and striving for
the limelight. But there can be no
possible doubt of the fundamental
convictions of the great mass of
Americans.

Philippine Misgovernrnent

Governor General Harrison's re-
gime in the Philippines, now at an
end, leaves disorganization and de-
moralization behind it. These were
the logical consequences of the Will
son-Harrison policy. Mr.. Wilson
sought to cast the islands adrift. He
continually encouraged the idea that
the Filipinos were ready to set up
for themselves in the family of ma
tlons. He clashed on this point with
Mr.. Garrison, his first Secretary of
War. He advised the House of Rep
resentatives to accept the Clarke
bill, passed by the Senate, providing
for prompt remuneration of Ameri-
can sovereignty.
Mr.. Harrison was an apt instru-
ment in promoting the theory of
separation and independence. He
courted the leaders of the native
independence party. He sought to
civest himself of political RESPONSE
lility and to transfer it. to them.
Under his rule the insular govern
ment fell rapidly under native con-
troll and administration, becoming
laxer and injuriously subordinated
to the ambitions and purposes of
local politicians. Reports have
come to Congress that the Philip
pine National Bank has been mis-
managed, that it's health service
has broken down, that school
standards have been lowered and
that a general drive is being made
to check the teaching and use of the
English language.
Mr.. Harrison has been officially an
efusive apologist for American oc-
eupation and sovereignty. II he and
the President could have had their
way he would have been the last of
the American Governors General. 1t
will take a long time to undo the
evil effects Of such an attitude. To
bring the Filipinos to a real under
standing Of our relations to them
and their relations to us and to re-
store the respect and prestige which
the insular government enjoyed be-
fore 1913 will be one of the tasks of
the Harding Administration.
The world has been upset and
sobered by the great war. 1t has
also been disorganized. 1t is one
into which no weak, small, backward
people can safely be cut loose. The
Filipinos are not people in the sense
/! that they have achieved political
unity or developed any clear sense
of nationality. Left to themselves,
they couldn't hold together and
would fall 3 prey to some stronger
colonizing power. They lie within
zone Of peril. The Wilson Admin
istration dealt with them in spirit
of sentimentalisn and unreality.
But in their soberer moments they
must themselves realize that they
have never needed SO much as now
the protection and aid of the United
| States.

The johnson Model

While Senator johnson Is occupied
in New York the mice are playing
in California. The California Pub
lie Utility Commission is increasing
street railway fares.
The law under which the Califor-
mia commission operates was passed
in 1911, Hiram Johnson then being
California's Governor and the laws
chief advocate. 1t gave to q commits
sion appointed by the Governor
jurisdiction over rates, service,
finances, facilities and extensions.
Indeed, it would almost seem as IL
Governor Miller went to the Johnson
law for his model. The only differ
ence is that Governor Miller would
restrict the membership of the COM
mission here to citizens of this city
whereas Governor Johnsons showed
no similar consideration for San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Says the Johnsonized California
commission in it's report for 1920:
The commission has not hesitated
10 extend TO the electric railway sys-
TENS of the state such relief, by In
crease of fares or by establishment
of the zone system, or by ordering
radical operating economies, as would
insure a continuation of reasonably
good service
The commission also has taken
opportunity to call attention to its
belief that the relationship between
street railways and the communities
they serve should be radically
changed. and that modification
Of Obsolete franchise requirements
would distinctly be in the interest of
the public.

And keener, toward the night. your

There were SO many things that made
you dear,
o Summer, dying where the fields are

The hills, certain shore, the rains this
year,
That kept the flush leaves new till they
were old.
But dearer even than your huoyant
We're other gifts you brought that shall
not go,
When your last blossom in your last

Drifts from its high place in the garden

Or when the larch shakes OF her blue.

LaureEs Wherever Engaged

The lst Moroccan Division through
out the war saw constant service at the
front, and won fresh laurels wherever
engaged. When hostilities ceased and
the French War Office selected the
troops for use in the regions to be
occupied the Moroccan division was
chosen as part of this force, not only
because of it's unbroken record for
distinguished service but because of
the high order Of discipline at all times
maintained throughout the division.
The statistics quoted by Major Cen
eral Allen show that, considering the
numbers involved and the length of
time passed in occupied territory, the
conduct of the division has not jrsti-
fed the animaadversions cast upon it
by the German press, but, on the con-
trary, would compare favorably with
the conduct Of any body of troops
similarly situated. The Senegalese were
avithdrawn very soon after their ar
rival in German territory, not because
Of adverse criticism bat because pro-
longed sotourn under the climatic con-
ditions existing in Germany was under
mining the health of these natives of
the Senegal.
France is first Of all q chivalrous
nation. Ths persecution Of beaten
foe Is abhorrent to her. Her treatmen:
of German prisoners OF war was at all
times humane, and this notwithstand-
ing the cruel treatment accorded to her
nationals in German hands. The con-
slant reiteration of the charge that
the French are keeping black troops in
the occupied regions and that the
women and young girls have suffered
as consequence Is designed by the
German press for local consumption
here and with two objects In view:
First, 60 create lii will toward our
allies the French; second, to increase
race prejudice here.

Decors,ir,

In some agreeable light essays
Francis Hackett, Of The New Re-
public, complains of the invisible
censor who is constantly at the elbow
Of every one who writes. This I'M
personal but potent restrainer has
no official authority; nevertheless,
his blue pencil is always unsheathed
rand always editing free utterance.
Ancient is the wrangle between
II will" and "Thou shalt not" ;"
Seemingly that which irritated the
first mother was prohibition. In lit
erature, as in physics, the centrifu-
gal urge, which for some nex-
plai ined reason regards itself as spe-
; cially entitled to do as it pleases, is
forever enraged over the stupidities
of centripetalism, it's lettering an
tagonist. Not much would be left
of philosophy if there were stricken
from its volumes all praise of tan
gents and all condemnation of the
gravitational law. Yet why Mer-
curry, with his wings, should rate
himself better than Atlas, with his
shoulders, has never been made
clear.
Mr.. Hackett, as is the fashion,
falls heavily on decorum. Why
should the pesky thing be allowed
any influence, much less power to
inhibit? He comedies, out Of respect
to Freud, a name of conjuration in
modernist circles, that decorumg is
perhaps tribal agent to enforce
the tribal superstitions and to keep
personal impulse where the tribe
thinks it belongs, but for drawing
room decorum he feels loathing-a
feeling more creditable to his emo
tional than to his intellectual re-
f1exes.
For if there exists the spirit of
decorum (and it does), and if moth
ing long exists without a sufficient
reason, the scientific mind naturally
is driven to find the reason. Freud
fumbled toward the truth. Man is
social animal, and some measure of
taboo is unacceptable in social life.
An individual may not altogether
disregard the laws of the pack, and
this without regard to their inher-
ent goodness or badness.
Man Is not only social animal
but an aspiring one, and decorum,
despite its many absurdities, repre-
sents his ideals-his notions of what
should be. He regards the future,
and has sense Of what BELTS q
man and foreshadows his hopes in
his rules. The Roman Senators
who sat immobile when barbarian
invaded their company displayed de-
corum in heroic way. So did the
Spartan boy who quietly endured
while q wolf gnawed his vitals.
There is reason beyond hypocrisy
why we pretend to be nobler and
better than we are.
Moreover, there is g. law, akin to
one of mathematics, behind decorum.
What does Mr.. Hackett seek? Merely
New-York tribune., 1921-02-27

the substitution of one set Of rules
for another. Should he have his
way the new regime would set up
its new standards. Watch the man
ners of q young woman smoking her
cigarette. She also has her ideals of
appropriate conduct When the
polygamous and the polyandrous
have established sex promiscuity the
invisible censor will doubtless frown
on the homogeneous. -
Like Omar, doctors we frequent,
and hear great argument, and we
emerge from the same door wherein
we went. A chief defect of the
radical mind is it's lack of humor.

For Benson s Reappoinunent

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS lifelong Republican I
was particularly pleased few months
ago to see The Tribune exhibit another
evidence Of its impartial position po-
litically when it came out strongly for
the Senate to approve Admiral Ben
sons reappointment as chairman Of the
United States Shipping Board. At the
present time that appointment is before
the Senate Committee on Commerce for
action, and it looks as though Admiral
Benson will fail of appointment due to
the inactivity of the committee.

served in many departments of ship
endeavor during the forty-seven years
Of constant work in naval and ship
building activities which stretch over
half century of strenuous develop
ment. AT the age of seventeen he en-
tered the service of Uncle Sam, and
during the forty-seven years he has
been before the American people and
the world no one has ever had word
of criticism as to his honesty Of pur-
pose or intense Americanism. He Is
the sterling type of man who seeks
the hardest job. He came into the

work had suddenly been changed into
a peace work and with, many of the
most pressing problems left for him
to settle,
No other man In this country can
succeed Admiral Benson without con-
secrating months of hard study to
reach the position Admiral Benson is
in to-day. Only man of the broadest
vision must hold down the job, and in
my humble opinion The Tribune was
right several months ago when 1t in
dorsed Admiral Benson's reapppoint-
ment.
What is the position OF The New

Prior to the World War the 1st
Moroccan Division possessed an envi-

The majority OF its. commissioned Of
iicers are and always have been French,
selected for their special qualifica-
tons of initiative and their ability to
maintain discipline. Among its ele-
nients was the far-famed Foreign
Legion; the greater part OF the divi-
sion was made up of Colonial French
men, Arabs, chiefly in the cavalry, and
a contingent of Senegalese, the only
black troops in the division From the
breaking out Of actual hostilities until
thte signing of the armistice this di-
vision was used exclusively for pur-
poses Of attack. 1t was never used for
holding quiet sector, and was held
in reserve only for the time necessary
to make up the requirements, which,
because of the very nature of it's en-
ployment, grew in time until they out
numbered those of any other division in
the French army. The rigorous training

rank and file are subjected has for one
