OF both paintings had been done by
softening the paint with finger and

examined several OF LEONARDO 8
works whose authenticity was un.

The Late Nathaniel Myers,
To His Work Is Due the Hebrew
Technical School for Girls.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The
death Of my beloved friend Nathaniel
Myers is a great loss to the commu-
nifty. Mr.. Myers almost single handed
built up wonderful structure by es-
tablishing the Hebrew Technical School
| for Girls. which has been OF tremendous
| benefit to the welfare Of large num-
Der OF deserving girls whose parents
! or guardians are OF moderate means.
BY tho splendid education they re-
ceive In this postgraduate school they
are not only materially benefited but
IL addition are improved in character
and refinement They have the right
| example and guidance, material and
ethical. so that when they leave the
school they are greatly improved and
not only able to take care Of themselves
but In most cases to help their families
and others who may be dependent upon
them. BY their good example they
themselves and in many cases their
families are improved and elevated in
every respect.
The material beneft these girls de-
rive from the work Of Mr.. Myers has
been fully explained. The reporting
graduates OF the school are earning
annually over ss.o0o.0oO. but the bene-
fits they receive In the general improve
ment which takes place in them is OF
| much greater Importance.
| Mr.. Myers was devoted to this cause.
Aside from his interest In the school he
was man OF great intellect and abil-
| ity and was interested in all that Is
good and noble. He was great inter-
prefer of Shakespeare, an ardent ad-
mirer OF Lincoln. an eloquent orator
and altogether one OF our best citizens.
and withal a man OF great modesty
who did not wish to have his good work
known except In so far as 1t might be
OF benefit to others. The world Is bet
ter for having had Nathaniel Myers in

Harding's Armament Four.

The shining quality of President
HARDINGs selection of the American
delegates to the international con
ference on the limitation OF arma
ments. as THE New YORK HERALD
said of them on Sunday. is clear to
all eyes. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES,
ELIHu RooT, Senator LODGE and Sen
ator UNDERWOOD, 1t is well to repeat,
personify the brain power, the
knowledge, the experience, the states
manship. purpose and example which
can best serve the ideals and the
needs of this country among the great
Powers of the Old World.
The choice OF such men to repre-
sent the United States strikingly il
lustrates the natural capacity of Mr.
HARDING to be national leader who
knows where and how to command
the material for great American un-
dertakings and achievements.
Another circumstance is notable
about these admirable appointments
by the President. He has re-
stricted the number OF our delegates
to four. Unquestionably they Will
have to assist them in the technical
part OF their work experts in affairs
military, financial, maritime and the
like. But it will be this small body
OF trained thinkers, brilliant negoti-
ators and rugged Americans. not a
town meeting of takers, which can
deal in common understanding and
common impulse with the genius
and tho guile that may come from
Europe and Asia.
This designation OF only four men
to assure action instead OF debate on
our part is tribute to the sensible,
practical, effectual gifts Of Chief
Executive who gets so many and so
important things done and gets them
done well.

Hunting Licenses.
Case Of the Average Man Who Works
Hard for His Game.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: note
the proposal to raise the fee for hunt
Ing license for residents 200 per cent,
to cut the limit in game now allowed to
be taken, to require a Federal license
and to establish shorter season ON all
game.
1t might be well to have the Federal
license. which should not be issued to
aliens, in order to have American game
for Americans only. AS TO $50 license
fee. take the individual who must wait
for holiday or lose a days salary in
order to get a days sport; he cannot
afford to pay $40 for a hunting license.
which he may use just once or twice
without getting any game.
And as for the present bag limit be-
ing too liberal. how many men are
there who can go out to-day and get the
limit on anything? Full bags are not
to be had with any kind OF game any
more, not because there is no game but
because game is becoming more and
more wary every day. Take. for in
stance. duck shooting; who Is the man
who gets the most ducks on trip? The
answer is, the man with money, as he
is the only one who can go after them
In the easiest way. The average man
can't afford to pay $40 day for the use
Of a battery. where the birds run into
suicide, but he must work hard for the
game he gets. After pushing a skin or

No Theatre Shortage.

1t has been usual at this season
70 hear Of a shortage in theatres.
Accounts of the numerous promising
plays that cannot be performed here
rince there are no quarters in which
to house them may usually be ex-
pected during the early weeks Of
the theatre year.
The existing number Of theatres
has been increased this year by two
that are already available. There
will soon be others. But this sum
mer there is no cry that there are
lot theatres enough for the good
plays. 1t would be difficult to make
such a complaint with two or three
OF the most popular houses now
empty. They are dark because there
are no possible entertainments to
put there. One or two lucky pro.
rrietors have been fortunate enough
to hand over their temples to the
motion pictures.
never any time In the history of
amusement enterprises In which
there were more good plays than
there were theatres. There are al
ways adventurous spectators seek
ing for an opportunity to try their
luck in this theatre or that. Ambi-
tious actors sometimes secure enough
capital to try to make the world
view their talents as they them
selves view them. Authors are often
able to persuade capitalists to in.
vest in an idea.
In this way there may be created
= demand for theatres which will
lead to fancied excess Of demand

What Most Mothers Know.

When the schools Of this city
opened in the last September Of JOHN
PURRoY MITcnEL's administration the
number of part time pupils was
34.431. The Mayor had been steadily
reducing 1t.
After MrTcHEL came HYLAN.
Yesterday, when the schools opened
in the fourth (and. IL New York is
lucky, the last) September Of JOHN
F. HYLANs administration the part
time pupils numbered 128,5S6.
Every mother In New York who
has boy or girl in school may well
wonder what school conditions will
be if Hylanism gets four years more
Of power.
Every school child's mother that is
en- enrolled Republican can help her
children to-day by voting for CUBAN

For years San Francisco has been

has suffered In consequence. She has
Jagged behind In the race with the
other large competing cities on the
western coast-Los Angeles In the
south and Seattle In the north. With
physical and geographical conditions
so much in her favor that she should
have led, she has lost ground because
OF the exactions and restrictions I'M
posed by union labor.
1t has only been within the past
year or so that San Franciscans have
begun to understand what was hap
pening to them. The final awaken
ing to a realization of the situation
and its causes came when large
and prosperous manufacturing con.
cern, after long continued labor
union embarrassments. including the
wounding and manning Of three su-
perintendents and many other as
saults on employees. threw up its
hands and announced that 1t would
quit. 1t prepared to dismantlo its
plant and move to Los Angeles.
Then the newspapers were aroused.
The labor situation in San Francisco
was revealed in all it's seriousness.
San Francisco woke up In earnest
and declared her industrial indepen-
dence. In the struggle for Pacific
coast leadership she refused longer
to carry on the fight with her feet
hobbled and her hands tied behind
her back. The ending Of the build
ing trades strike Is manifestation
Of the city's new attitude toward
labor union tyranny.

Governor Miller's Critics.
They Make Speeches While He At
tends TO His Duties.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Must a
Governor be a faker? / am inclined 10
believe so after reading the eloquent
attacks on Governor Miller by candi-
dates for the Mayoralty.
A Governor who cannot find leisure
from the duties OF his Office to display
an array OF political and economic nos
trums seems to merit the censure OF al
sincere professional politicians. From
their point OF view Governor Miller Is
not playing the game. Think OF II He
has introduced business methods In run
ming the States affairs and by a series
of departmental consultations has
stricken from the payrolls hundreds OF
political parasites. Let US not forget
that Governor Miller set Washington
the example in administrative economy.
La Guardia attacks him. Is It for
saving the taxpayers millions and thus
setting the Board Of Estimate an ex-
ample OF cold efficiency?
Where was Governor Miller when
Haskell was assailing him? Very likely
Inspecting the Barge Canal and pointing
out Its advantages to the cities along
its route.
Where was Governor Miller when Ben
nett was firing his shot? Very likely
inspecting the State institutions for the
insane. anything but an agreeable task.
and assuring himself on behalf Of the
taxpayer that the States wards were
receiving proper care and that 100 per
cent. OF the appropriation was expended
In 100 per cent. care.
Where was Governor Miller when Hy-
Ian was In Atlantic City? At his desk
in Albany thinking ana using his brain
for the proper administration OF his
Office. or course we cannot accuse any
OF his detractors OF this serious polit-
ical crime.
The recent attacks on the Governor
mark a low standard of politics. ver-
lily. Governor must be a faker to at
tain the approval OF critics like these.
