Sugar Quoted
AT $6.55 On
Portland Mart

Portland, Or, June 23.-Anoth-
er 10 cent cut was made in the To-
cal wholesale price of sugar today
bringing granulated cane down to
$6.55 and granulated beet to $6.35
a sack.
In explaining the drop Portland
jobbers said it was not a general
decline in coast prices but a read
justment in their selling margin
as the commodity went lower.
This is the second drop in sugar
this week and the present price is
the lowest here since February 1,
1916.

A. looked like a sure winner un-
I'll the State. house knocked her
out of the 100 per cent circle a
short time ago for the only de-
feat that the association has suf-
fered. BY winning from the Am

broke the tie between the two
and is now tied with the Y team
in the percentage list.
Fans look forward to a hot one

Tires are four important all

Der of tires used on a car has
dropped from over five to under
four. So, motorist, register joy.

House Reapportionment

The reapportionment bill which
the House of Representative
passed last winter marked return
TO sound principles. It has been
recognized for years that the House
has lost efficiency and standing
through successive increases in
membership. 1t is unwieldier.
overdiluted, gives less opportunity
for the development Of talent and
personality and is more governed
from the top than it was thirty or
forty years ago. There were half
dozen men of note in the House
then to every man of note now.
After yielding to the temptation
to juggle the apportionment so that
no state should lose a seat, the Re-
publican leaders reversed them
selves and indo1sed a bill keeping
the body down to its present size.
But those who thought that the
convenience of a few delegations
from states which fell behind in
the 1920 census should be put
ahead of larger public considera-
tlons were able to hold up the bill
in the Senate. 1t viii have to go
through the House again. and there
is talk already of reframing the
bill on the old log-rolling lines.
If no state is to tase representa-
tion nearly fifty additional seats
VIII have to be allotted to the faster
growing states. YSis would add

atRve ability. The old spirit Of in
iivlduaIistic leadership is dormant.

use! is the conclusion borne in
upon every sensible head.
The weak, vain boastcr remains a
liar spite of everything. Unable to
feed his vanity by legitimate
achievement, he takes to wholesale
lying, seeking to find in a purely
fictitious success compensation for
his actual failure. A really good
hoax, done with a purpose, belongs
in quite another category. Such a
lie may be but splendid satire
aimed TO establish the truth. We
are too amiable and civil world
for such things nowadays. The
best hoax we can expect is fatuous
lie like that in the Elwell case. That
equally upholds the truth, be it
said, by establishing once again
that in this wollo, run upon the
basis of truth down to its tiniest
atomic detail, there is neither place
nor excuse for nny kind OF liar.

Auguste Victoria

The queens and expresses of his
tory, from Semiramis to Victoria,
have commonly, when reigning in
heir own right, given a good ac-
count of themselves and made the
Salic principle absurd.
But the consorts, such as Auguste
Victoria, the former German EN-
press, who has passed from her
earthly trouble, have too often had
the misfortune to be united to some
vain and strutting male, and for
bidden to be either real queens or
real women. Of all the human
species they perhaps play the most
artificial role. What they know
they may not tell; what they would
IS forbidden by etiquette.
If only Auguste Victoria had beer
at liberty to set down the real story
of the ex-Kaiser! She knew bette,
than any one why he did it. Even
though she made no boast of in
tellectual superiority, it is impossi-
ble to think she was deceived. But
her appointed role was silence and
repression. And she did what she
could by works of private benevo-
lence to Justify her existence.

Intelligence ests
.Erotn The London Postl

(Fro,n The London POST
Are you intelligent? If so, the follow
ing mental exercises will gauge the ex-
tent. Get somebody to take out his watch
and then tell him when minute has
expired. OF course, you must not resort
to any such dodge as counting the
seconds. And you must talk, and be
talked so, during the test. If you guess
to the very second the first time you
are Geddes. Three seconds short wa
the most nearly correct first attemrt
among our acquaintances. Thirt. sec
onds short was the worst attempt The
mistake is nearly always on the same
side-the guessers think the minute Is
up before it is. Anonther excellent test
is: Not looking at your watch, hold 1t
to a mirror, and from the face of the
watch reflected therein try to tell the
time. 1t sounds easy, but it isn't.

The Investigation

At last, though three months late,
the Legislature sees that the public
interest demands searching inquiry
INTO the way the Hylan administra-
ton has conducted the city's affairs.
The need OF such an inquiry has
long been manifest. But Governor
Miller, as a party leader, tried to
follow the rule of allowing the
county organizations special inf1u-
ence in regard to matters of assumed
local concern. The method worked
badly with respect to New York
City.
Here some Of the county leaders,
whose relations to Tammany are
suspicious, did not want publicity.
Putting forward the preposterous
claim that adequate reason for an
investigation had not been presented,
they succeeded in so N Iddying the
question as to leave the Legislature
in doubt.
Happily, Governor Miller, al
though considerate of the county
organizations, saw that the mu-
nicipal government of more than
half the states population is not
wholly local matter. In elections
it is the habit of voters to concen-
trate on dominant matter. In New
York the bic business this fall is the
choice Of a Mayor and new Board
of Estimate. If the Hearst Tam
many coalition retains power
through lack of public information,
It is a practical certainty that an
Assembly delegation of the same
color will 60 up the river next Jan
uary.
Much valuable time has been lost.
A summertime investigation, when
the weather is warm, and when the
public has a taste for light reading,
is under some handicap. Neverthe~
less. energy now can make up for
opportunities lost. A first class COM
mittee with the aid of first class as
sistants should be able to get the full
ruth spread out early enough to
make New York understand what it
will be voting for and against in

The Tribune's S Birthday
Eightieth Anniversary Noted by an
Old Connecticut Friend
(From The Hartford CourantI


The New York Tribune yesterday
celebrated the eighticth anniversary Of
its founding. At the time the paper
was started The Courant was within
three years of being as old as The
Tribune is to-day.
The story of how the paper which
was to become so great factor in
American journalism was begun is
briefly told by The Tribune itself as
follows:
On April 10, 1Sa1, from narrow quar-
tcrs at 80 Ann Street, Horace Greeley
issued the first number of The New
York Tribune, "a New Morning Journal
of Politics, Literature and General In
telligence." There was about 81, 900 to
back the enterprise, the edition was
5000, and after day of effort the cir
culator "ncarly succeeded" wrote the
publisher "in giving away all of them
that would not SELL
Even eighty years ago $1,000 WAS not
much of a capital for the starting of
newspaper. To. day the man who would
break into New York daily journalistic
fields would want to have at least
million or two behind him before he
began, and even then the chances OF
financial success would not look any too
bright If with his million or so he
could secure, as did the early Tribune,
4 man of Horace Greeley's unusual
oh ho
fortunately, even in the present tight
money market, $4,000 900 would be
easier to find
From Greeley's control of the paper
it passed, after thirty years, to White
law Reid, and since that time it has
remained in the Reid family. The
Tribune like other papers, has changed
in many ways. The mechanical I'M
provements make the paper of to-day
much different than it was eighty years
ago. Perhaps of all the New York
papers, however. The Tribune has
changed the most during the last ten
or fifteen years.
The Courant is enough older than
The Tribune to criticize it now and
then in patcrnal fashion, but even
more glad to admit that it greatly likes
this young visitor, which comes with
such regularity as the postal system
Burleson disarganized has permitted,
and it hopes and expects to see it every
morning for the next eighty years and
more

The Liars

The tribe of liars is still lustv
and thriving, and Roy Harris, who
Dragged of a murder in order to
break into the newspapers, is only
one OF many. Every group of boys
has one such. The small boy in the
Riley yarn who killed his bear dead
and then killed him again charms
the circle at every swimming hole.
AS a matter Of fact, most chill
dren go through stage when they
experiment with lying-to the
horror and despair Of their parents.
But the normal child comes out of
the stage very quickly. He finds
the truth about lying-that it offers
only temporary relief and satisfac-
ton and glory and that the conse-
quences are awful. In the case of
some vices retribution is so long de-
layed that only a person of solid
mind and clear imagination can be
influenced by fear of it. Not so
with lying. Its morning after is
swift and inevitable. "What's the

Music Teaching Standards
An Association Similar to That of
Physicians Suggested
New York, April 8, 1921.
0 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For a long time it has
been in my mind that something
should be done to put the teaching of
music in all its branches on a proper
footing.
At the present time any one can set
up as teacher. The result is that a
large percentage of the music teachers
Of this and other cities are practi-
cally uneducated men and women.
The youngest and worst paid teacher
in the public schools must be col
lege graduate. How much more. then.
is it essential for teacher of music.
which in its technical phases requires
a scientist and in its academic phases
a pedagogue and a psychologist to be
q qualified man!
Most people can read, but it requires
q graduate of pedagogy to teach q
child to read; the teacher Of music
and the theory of music requires a
finer and better trained pedagogical
mind than does the teacher in the ele-
mentary school.
My suggestion, then. is this: Let all
the educated music teachers get togeth
er and form an association Let member
ship IN this association be similar to
membership in the medical associa-
ton, and let this membership carry
with it degree. In time such de-
gree might constitute the qualification
necessary for a teacher of music,
Only from such organization can
one hope to attain definite standards s
for the fundamental principles of
technique.
Membership should be open only to
college graduates, and should be con-
ditional on the writing of paper on the
subject which the teacher processes to
teach.
If the teacher processes to teach
technique, then any scientific fallacies
or statement of unascertained facts
would at once disqualify him.
If the teacher Processes to teach
music and theory Of music, any peda-
gogicai or psychological fallacies or
misstatements would disqualify.
Let US make our profession digni-
fed one. DOUGLAS STANLEY

Harding's Course Approved
Cautious Handling of the League

Problem--Washingto Advice
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial Of April 6 under
the caption "Finis" is cry timely.
I believe President Harding is
handling the Wilson League Of Nations
in a very cautious but studious man
ner and the matter is simmering itself
down to just where I always believed it
should be placed, although | was ap-
prehensive at one time that we might
plunge into the league before the peo-
pie had time to thoroughly under
stand and consider it.
| have always contended that we
were big enough, strong enough, brave
enough and loved liberty and justice
to such an extent that we could take
George Washington's advice and still
declare to each and every nation of the
world that if any hell cevils governing
any nation. or if any milton or nations,
for whatever purpoe they saw fit,
wished to bring about such a crisis as
arose in 1914 The United States would
be ready to do what it did in 1917, as
you suggest in your edtos "a, but would
act much more quickly.
I believe it is time for the people
of the United States to proclaim to the
world what Americanism stands for; to
claim the right to be recognized as a
peace and justice loving people. 1t
was shown in the war with Spain, and
we certainly proved it in the late war.
With malice toward none and charity
for all, we have shown that when it
comes TO fighting for justice we can
do things; on the other hand, we want
peace ard shall be ready at any time
to disarm when other nations are ready
to disarm.
We are told by some that George
Washington's advice is out of date. I
do not interpret it as such. He wanted
us to keep out Of foreign troubles, but
George Washington and Abraham Lin
coin, if they were alive to-day, would
never advise US to keep aloof from for
eign matters if our interests were at
stake or :, our advice, prestige and in
f1uence were needed in world affairs.

Dye Industry Protection

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Too much emphasis cannot be
laid upon the necessity for passing
legislation in the near future for pro-
tecting the dye industry. Your editorial
of April on the subject is both in
spring and forceful, and should be ear
nestly needed by our lawmakers.
The time has arrived when action by
Congress is vital. All arguments for
and against protecting the industry
have been advanced, and it now comes
down to a question Of facts for the
public to review.
Under licensing plan the users Of
dyes will be able to get all the dyes
that are required, and in addition they
Will have the worlds markets to choose
from. And likewise under this plan
Americans for America will be building
up latent protection for the country.
In the past some Of our Senators
nave been too much Influenced, or per
haps duped, by German textile in
terests in this country. The public
should realize that to withhold protec-
tlon from the dye industry is to sndan-
ger the best interests Of the country.
not because the dye industry should be
protected economically. but fundamen-
tallv because the country should be
protected by having a dye industry
within it's confines.
