An Uneaescrihed pia,,

In most OF the resolutions passed
for and against what is called the
Governors traction plan Is q shoot
ing into air. There is avoidance OF
any clear statement of what the
plan is. 1t was left doubtful by the
Governors message, and the doubt
has not since been removed. Not
until the bills are introduced and
matured does it seem possible to
express a definite opinion Of the
plans merits.
The Governor is said to be gup-
porting proposal to impose an g.
cent fare on the city. But one
reads and re-reads the message with
ont discovering any declaration to
this effect. He is charged with
seeking to take away from the city
control over the 30o,0o0,oo Of
city money invested in the subways.
Yet in calculating his message he
has said that he would secure to the
city an enlarged control. He is
accused Of favoring the INTERIOR
ough company. Yet he specifically
declared that he favored trying to
take away from the company the
protection of the preferential provi-
sion Of the subway contracts, pro-
visions that the compauy's stock.
holders and bondholders may not be
expected willingly to surrender and
which so far have brought to the
bondholders their stipulated interest.
Moreover, as to home rule, it is
TO be remembered that the platform
on which Governor Miller was
elected specifically declared as fol-,
lows:
"We favor granting TO all cities
and villages adequate powers of self
government and control over their
local Offices free from leg-
isistion in purely local matters"
This has not been repudiated.
True, the Governor has pointed
out that cities possess only powers
devolved on them, but this sound
proposition of law does not answer
questions Of policy. The state has
the power to take complete control
over local police, fire departments,
schools, etc, but it does not do so,
and the Miller platform implicitly
pledges no attempt to do SO.
The line between what is local
and what is a state matter is not
easy to trace. But, speaking gen.
orally, when q service is confined to
an area and its bills are paid by the
residents of the area it is commonly
regarded as local, and thus within
the home rule field. If the state
financed the subways 1t might claim
exclusive authority, but not doing
this and putting the burden on the
city seems to imply that the city has
a. special interest. 1t may be as
sumed that man as familiar as
Governor Miller is with the princi-
pies of our civil polity, as estab-
lished by centuries Of struggle.
knows that those who fill the pub
lie purse are to be consulted before
its contents are scattered.
1t is by no means improbable that
what is called the Governors plan
will develop into an impartial in
quiry, such as all would welcome.
and that before any more contracts
are let the city government will be
recognized to the degree that is safe

Ahd why is it,deemed unsafe? Be-
caaSe imp prtant nations are not

SoFiet Rus ussia, Germany, Turkey,
Bulgaria, etc. 1t is useless to tell
Pol8nd or Rumania 20 disarrn when
th4aatening; armies are mobiiized on
thsis borders, or to tell France to
didmnd her army when Germany
rephdiates the treaty she signed and
plsihly waits for chance to renew
thsI Iconffict. or to tell Armenia to
trqH the butchering Turks.
Ahd why do danger spots existr
Bemuse the peace conference, ham

settlement securing peace. 1t did
DotIput out the fire in Russia nor
rnake Germany understand that
schAning was useless, nor take Tur-
keylfrmly by the throat, and every
oneIknows why.
Ihe President, with the approval
Of spch persons as Sir Philip Gibbs,
notIonIy helped Germany and the
new Russian autocracy, but fostered
in all Countries pro-Gerrnan and
Bolshevist parties. Allied morale
was weakened by the widely circu-
lated charge that the defeated were
being unfairly treated. A prolonged
campaign broke down the concord of
the Allies, though only by this con-
cord could peace be safeguarded.
Thus not the nilitarists but the
pacifists are to be held responsible
for the new arnaments. The paci-
lists did not, Of course, desire q
rnflitarized world, but nevertheless
the net result of their labors was to
foster it.
Not until Allied concord is re.
established is there likely to be dis.
armament Here is cold fact. An
other cold fact is that nations differ
in spirit-that some can be trusted
and others may not be. To treat
them all absolutely alike is war
engendering nonsense.
The sin Of the pacifists is heavy.
Through their influence came the
failure to seize great opportunity.
And in their self-suf1iciency they are
not even yet aware Of the evil
potency Of their work.

SUPERPANDECTILITY

Whene'cg the singing sunset sweeps
In panoplies of gilt and gloom;
Whene'er the dusk in savage leaps
Goes maundering about the room;
Oh, that is when the Esrvid flower
Of yearning eery, yellow years
Is stripped of siSeDce and OF power,
With tinkling drips of silver tears.
Whene'er the sun in splendor riven
Arises from lurid West
Whenever tides uphill are driven
And lambs are singing from their nest
Diaphanous the dog star then,
A-dance with duty's argent fame,
Rehearses to the hearts of men
The numbing potence Of d name.
Whenever fires Of spring shall cicave,
Consuming geysers crystal heat
Whene'er the daisies shall upheavc
The dalliance of their Druid feet;
Whenever hating hearts shall hear
The pungent rays of hearth and hom'

RAW SUGAR is
AT Low LEVEL
Little Success in Efforts to Market
Supplies Through Cuba Finance
Commission.

NEW YORK, Dee. 2S.-Raw sugar
today plunged to the lowest level in
Is years and within a quarter of a
cent Of the lowest ever reported. The
price for Cubas, cost and freight, was
1 "a cents a pound
Refined sugar shared the break in
raws and was quoted at 40 cents a
pound for fine graduated. This was
the first time in many years that it
sold for less than cents
While nearly all farm products since
the war have recovered from their low
levels, new low prices have been re-
corded almost daily in the sugar mar
ket.
During the war with sugar under
control, there was little variation but
when in 1920 this control was with
drawn. raws sold fer more than %
cents in May and June, and graduated
passed the % cents mark These
prices naturally attracted sugar from
all parts Of the world, eventually &C.
moralizlng the market and leaving
Cuba with huge unsold supplies.
Efforts were made to market this
sugar in orderly manner through the
Cuban sugar finance commission, but
with little success because Of big Of
fe1ings at lover prices from other
sources. Therefore the commission is
to be dissolved and after Jan. /, Cuba
becomes a free and open market with
private competition which the trade
believes may bring still lower quota
tions.

NEW YORK, Dec. ,28.--A continue
tion of the recent buying movement
sent the price of March contracts UP to
1906 in the cotton market here during
today's early trading. There was in
creased realizing above the 19-cent
level, however, and prices eased off
Elater, with March selling back to 1870
and closing at 1874 the general mar
ket closed barely steady net eight
points lower to one point higher.

starting one point lower to eight points
higher, the market soon turned firmer
owing to the steadiness of Liverpool,
continued favorable reports from the
goods trade and the apparent absence
of any selling pressure from the south.

There also was some scattered selling
for reaction on a belief that the
technical position of the market had
weakened, that further advances We're
likely to meet increased hedge selling.

THE COTTON MARKET
New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. rs. - The
quick stopping of January notices,
combined with better Liverpool than
due, put the, price of cotton higher in
the early trading today but after adj
vances OF 10 to 80 points much realiz-
ing came from trade on the long sides,
the upward movement was checked
and reactions brought about At one
time selling was heavy enough to put
the trading months TO IL points un-
der the close of yesterday, but in the
late trading there was less pressure
and small recoveries occurred so that
the close was points up to points
down, net on the session. After rising
to 1921 January fell off to 1870 and
closed at 1898.
Notices for 500 bales We're issued but
did not circulate at all They were
stopped before the market opened and
several brokerage firms stated that
they had instructions to stop any num-
Der of notices. During the reaction
from the first advance the market had
