URGESLOWER CAR
FARES FOR PUPILS
J. c, Wright Asks Congress
to Authorize Not Less Than
Six Tickets for rs Cents.

Appeals to members Of Congress to
authorize lower street car fare for
the children of Washington. the same
to be either half fare or not less than
ak tickets for Is cents. were made
today by ]. c. Wright. 514 T street.
In a petition addressed to chairmen
and members Of the committees on
the District in the Senate and House
Mr.. Wright cites conditions prevail
ing here due to the present street car
fare. and points out that Seventy-Slx
cities located in twenty-seven states
of the country have special car fare
for school children.
.'On behalf of the 1894 boys and
girls attending the public schools in
Washington, said the petition. Il re-
specially submit the following ap-
peal for the favorable consideration
and action of the congressional COM
mitteeS on the District of Columbia
and the Congress Of the United
States.
Gives Reasons for Appeal.
1.-The high cost of living in the Dis
trict of Columbia, the depleted larders
and empty coal bins, never before so
numerous on the verge of winter. the
average increase of so per cent in text
book prices over last year. the 800 per
cent advance in price of paper in some
instances. the 346 per cent increase
in the average price of high school
cadet uniforms and a like increase in
price sof gymnasium uniforms and
other school necessities. impose a very
heavy financial burden on many FAM
lilies that are struggling heroically to
keep their children in regular at.
tendance in the public schools,
IN view of the foregoing, together
with the great distance from which
nht1 Id ~ -
school and return daily, irrespective
and many other adverse conditions
such as under nourishment and insult
ficient clothing, the great Congress of
the American people will render a
very important public service to enact
legislation authorizing a lower car
fare rate for school children, the same
to be not less than six tickets for Is
cents, and to become effective imme.
diately."
Now Costs IS Cents n Week.
The petition points out that at the
present rate of IN cents a trip it costs
rs cents a week for a child to ride to
and from school on the street cars. At
the present rate of fare, it said, the
maximum gross earnings of the car
companies for q pupil is IS cents per
week. while under the proposed rate Of
six tickets for Is cents, the car COM
panies would receive AZ cents a pupil
per week.

facility than school houses" SAYS Mr.

New Mexico's Election

New Mexico will elect a Senator
to-day to fill out Mr.. Falls unex-
pired term. Since this is the first
state election since the Harding
Administration came in, conclusions
affecting national politics will natu-
rally be drawn from it.
Mr.. Harding carried the state by
n plurality of about 1900. Mr..
Wilson carried it in 1916 by about
1000. For many years it has been
exceedingly close politically, and on
several occasions some Of the sue
cessful candidates have been Re-
publicans and some Democrats. This
year local conditions do not favor
the party in power. Mr.. Bursum,
Mr.. Falls successor by appointment,
is the Republican nominee. But an
independent Republican, appealing
to the Mexican-American voters. is
in the field against him. Mr.. Hanna,
the Democratic nominee, has no fac
tional opposition.
Under these circumstances national
issues are largely obscured by local
issues. About 40 per cent of the
states electors are Mexican Amer
leans and the great majority of
these are Republicans. Mr.. Bur-
sums candidacy is seriously handi-
capped.
In drawing deductions from the
result to-day it will be only fair to
take into account the factional split
which makes Republican success in
this normally close state more un-
certain than usual.

Capitalizing Misery

The trouble with men of the Le-
doux type is their hardness of heart
They pretend to sympathize with
the jobless. They do not. They
merely want to make use of their
sad plight. They regard them merely
as soap boxes on which to stand.
Ledoux and men of his kind in
their hearts hope for an increase of
distress. They regard calamity as
their friend. They are concerned in
trying to sell an idea to the public,
and slackening of industry fur
nishes them with what they call an
argument. They care nothing for
victims--are willing to degrade their
fellow creatures, making a show of
them.

Constantisae's Second Reverse

The Athens military communi-
ques now guardedly admit the
failure Of the second Greek often
sive against Angora. This offen-
sive was halted some weeks ago
along the Sakaria River, at point
about half way between Eski-Shchr
and Mustapha Kemal's capital.
Since then there has been heavy
fighting without any progress. The
Greek army has now recrossed the
Sakaria and is retiring toward
Eski-Shehr. AS was the case when
the Greek offensive toward Eski-
Shehr and Afum-Karahissar col
lapsed last spring, the Turkish
troops have been either too cx-
hausted or too poorly organized to
make an effective pursuit.
Constantine's second reverse
leaves more Turkish territory in
his hands than he held after the
April retirement. But his strate-
gic position is not improved. He
has not conquered the Turks. His
armies are much further from their
sea bases than they were before
and have long lines of communica-
tion to maintain. They have also
suffered heavy losses. The favor
able season for military operations
III the rough Anatolian mountain
region is nearly over. To keep a
reinforced army on new front and
to garrison the broad area behind
it will probably overstrain Greece's
present resources.
The Anatolian war has been tne
without reason. The Kemal gov
ernment repudiated the obligations
which Turkey assumed when her
ENJOYS begged the Allies for an
armistice. 1t defed the Entente
powers and entered into an alliance
with Moscow. 1t was spelling for
fight and eager to eject Greece
from the Asian territory assigned
her by the Sevres Treaty. Now
Kemal has all he can do to hold
on to Angora.
Greece, on the other hand, could
have remained in possession of her
Asia Minor holdings had she been
contented to play the role assigned
her by the peace treaty. She pre-
ferred, however, to change her role
and to estrange the Allies by re-
calling Constantine. His restoration
compelled her to fight for what she
could have had without fighting.
The score in that foolish adventure
isn't yet paid in full. Constantine's
colossal vanity and selfshness and
the folly of the invitation to him
to come back saddled on Greece
cruel and needless sacrifices, of
which her misguided people do not
yet see the end.

Would Boycott Irish News
To the Editor OF The Tribune

10 tne EDITOR OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune, like other Ameri.
can newspapers, publishes lot about
Ireland and the Irish. l lived in Ire
land for twenty years and have Just
returned from prolonged visit to that
"distressful" country.
Let me tell you-and I know what
| am talking about. too---that this
whole Irish question" would settle
itself in less than one month if the
newspapers of England and the United
States would just simply stop publish
ing anything about Ireland and the
Irish.
There is class of Irish that loves
the lmelight and is always ready for
an argument. If these fellows didn't
see anything about themselves or their
grievances" in the papers thev'd
quickly fade away. Anyway the intel
llgent part of the American people are
SICK and tired of the so-called Irish
question. TRIBUNE READER

Law Students Long Road

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have read with great interest
the letters recently published in your
paper on Educated Lawyers" and
Law and Learning" Both letters
place great stress upon the phrase
the law business" and take the stand
that the introduction of this phrase is
due to the lowering of the standards
of professional competence ana q rec
ognition on the part of the public that
there has been such a lowering.
There was time when a saan could
enter law Office with practically no
preparation, make study of the pro-
fession and become q lawyer. Later
1T became necessary to pass bar
examination; to this have been added
the state regent requirements.
The point wish to bring out is
that there has been continual rails
ing Of the requirements to enter the
profession, and if there has been any
lowering" as some claim, we do not
require any additional restrictions.
According to these critics, when there
were no requirements we had the best
kind OF lawyers, and now that there are
SO many requirements we seem un-
able to find many worthy of the name
of lawyer.
/ intend to study law, and I am
willing to work hard to that end. but
must go to business in order 10 sup
port the home. 1t may be true that
colleges provide scholarships (but
these are very limited) TO worthy stu
dents to assist them through college,
but who will take care of the depend
ents Of these students?
1t is expensive enough and hard
enough now for many ambitious young
men to undertake the studies of eve
ming law school, but if it becomes
necessary TO have two years of college
prior to the beginning OF the study ct
law when will young man cumplets
his education necessary to enter the
profession?
Let us provide better facilities for
the sincere persons who must resort
to evening courses of study and give
them "lift"
One genius will offset any number
of failures. There is considerable
genius among those who do not have
the advantages offered by college
education. Can you beat an Abe Lin

be born of personal experiences
1t seems TO be generally true, how
ever, that consideration for the
rights of others and unselfishness
are still rare, that parents arc lax
in discipline, and when not lax inn
pose rules and regulations which
make the unruly worse.
Morals and good manners,
their expression, are reflected from
the soul. Is it not more religion
that we need? Even such a profes-
sional skcptic and sncercr as Bernard
Shaw is beginning to admit this.
There are signs that the reign of
materialistic science and economics
draws toward close.
