HARDING SATISFIES
FILIPINO SENATOR
Quezon, Here on Way Home,
Tells of Talk on Liberty.

While there is little reason to believe
that independence will be granted TO
the Philippines within the immediate
future, the Nationalists in those islands
need have no fear that the Harding Ads
ministration will obstruct their, progress
toward self-government.
SO Manuel l.. Quezon, President of thd
Filipino Senate. interprets President
Harding's words to him at recent in-
terview at the White House. Mr.. Quezon
arrived in New York yesterday on his
way back home via Vancouver.
He admitted that the President gave
him no assurance that the terms of the
Jones act OF 1916, providing for indepen-
dence for the Philippines when that
archipelago should have established a
stable government, would go into effect
In the near future. he assured Mr. Que
zon that no backward policy would be
adopted by the United States.

only stone to mark the division, and
the transit Is as simple as going from
ono county to another. At Ticonderoga
you cross from New York State to Ver-
mont or from Vermont to New York
State. This might seem an important
process. Actually you stand on one
shore and toot your horn, taking a soft
drink the while. and presently a vessel
appears which IL none other than a
roomy red punt, propelled from the side
by small launch. The punt lets down
tailboard. the motor gives hiccup
over It, and there you are until the
process. reversed, takes place on the
other side. This is one OF the few fer
ries by means of which you span the
great waterways from New York to
Canada--waterways over which, most of
the time. bridges are unthinkable. 1t is
also the gateway from the Green Noun
tains into the Adirondzcks, blue and
shapely, and from the one you can see
the other on either side Of Lake Cham
plain, and between the two on the
sparkling blue surface OF the lake plies
little white steamer, bearing visitors
to the most historic spots OF North
America, and taking the place of the
birch bark canoe with its load OF IN
dians. who also had their own particu-
lar interest in historic spots.
Isaac Rice died at Ticonderoga in
1852. Isaac Rice was the last surviving
member of the American Revolutionary
garrison. There are people to-day who
can remember easily the year 1852. and

link. And the great war has taught US
that most history is false and that
things were not really like that. And
the American Revolution is being re-
vised, as you might revise proof sheet
OF a fairy tale, and 1t also was proba-
bly, not like that either. But Ticonder-
oga must always have been like that.
because II has always stuck out proudly
into the two lakes, and because ii was
tho centre OF the carrying trade between

Hungary's Lost Province.
Minister Bibesc0 Tells Why Tran
sylvania Went to RumaHia.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In your
paper of last Saturday you published
letter in which the utterances of Count
Paul Teleki former Premier OF Hun
gary, are adroitly defended by Count
Paul Teleki, professor of geography. The
latter rushes to the rescue OF the former
by pointing out that. although the head
waters of the Rhine and Rhone are sit
uated in Switzerland. there is no in
creased food danger for Germany and
France because the two rivers pass
through large lakes. This precaution is
neglected by the Hungarian rivers orig
mating in Rumania Well. a few other
European rivers have their upper courses
in one country and their lower in another
the Meuse in France and Belgium. the
Moselle in France and Germany, the
Elbc and oder in Czecho-Slovakia and
Germany the Tagus and Douro in Spain
and Portugal respectively, and SO on.
Possibly Count Telekl. the professor
of geography. will be able to squeeze
some of these instances into the n1oulds
of Count Teleki, the former Hungarian
Premier. But the whole issue of head
waters is beside the point.
Transylvania was detached from Hun
gary and attached to Rumania in ac-
cordance with the expressed wish OF the
Rumanan population of Pennsylvania,
and not in accordance with the infer
ences drawn by Hungarian geographer
from a photographic map. II that is
what Count Teleki means he and cor
daily agree. The war was fought to
liberate oppressed peoples and not to
regulate the ownership of the sources
of third rate rivers. If, as a conse-
quence of the transfer. the conservation
policy OF Rumania bears on the safety
OF Hungary, that II simply one more
reason why Hungary should genuinely
seek reconciliation and cooperation with
Rumania instead of fomenting rebellion
and preparing for war OF revenge.
Count Telekrs assertion that he CON-
pared the partition of Hungary TO an
assumed partition of the United States
merely to indicate sizes is disingenuous.
Il Is impossible to speak Of territories
and forget about the peoples In the
same breath. Count Telehi spoke or
Hungary. which Is inhabited by human
beings, ana not OF the moon. which isn't.
His lecture. az reported In the press
plainly carried the implication. To dis
cuss territorial adjustments without re-
ferring TO peoples IS like discussing dis
arrnaments without referring to am
munition.
For the rest Count Telekl's letters.
like his lectures. really prove but one
thing, and that is the convenience OF
entrusting q professional geographer
with the mission OF tho political propa-
gandist. Count Telekis ability to trans
substantiate. at the proper moment,
from one person into the other is, in
deed, a great and enviable gift.

Making the Tourist Happy.

The enterprising Will II. HAYS,
having established a bureau OF gem
eral governmental information in
the Post Office Department at Wash
ington, urges our postmasters gen.
orally to extend the idea. Make the
citizen, and particularly the traveller,
feel at home.
Thousands or tourists are now
motoring up and down the country,
and postmasters and postal en-
ployees have the opportunity of
being Of practical help TO such
strangers in the communities, whose
greatest difficulties lie in securing
reliable information concerning the
territory through which they are
passing and catching up with their
mail from home. II IS suggested that
the postmaster or some designated
clerk IN each office might without
serious loss OF time in his regular
work so equip himself as to be able
to give quick and reliable data to
inquiries concerning direction. Sc.
and other general information that
may be useful, in addition to giving
careful and cheerful attention to the
travellers mail inquiries
In the Almost Perfect State each
post office will be equipped with
compressed air tire pumps, battery
testers and buckets Of water. Maps
OF the neighborhood. showing where
cider may be bought, will be free.
The postmaster's youngest boy will
be ready, with rods and bait, to guide
the stranger to bass pond. There
will be tea and a Government pow
der pun for the motoring lady.
We can hear the postmaster of the
future taking pity on the melancholy
tourist and inviting him to come in
and read the postcards received in
the last mail.

Evening Mystery.

From the Nation and the Athenuenm.
Now ragged clouds In the west are heap
ing,
All the hedges seen a-weeping,
And in a thin green distance flowers
The moon, the blossom of lonely hours
The moon she llghtens on a myriad
meadows
And her rays wander among wood shad-
ows:
Ere the last of sunsets flown
She has made a new world OF her
own.
Old farnhouses with their white faces
Fly. and their ghosts have taken their
places;
Even the slgnposts like grim liars
Point to losing brakes and briars.
Tired birds roostiny are not yet sleeping,
nut stir ana mutter at the wilo eyes
peeping
And sheep will not let silence lie,
But bIare about the hilltop sky
As though long plotting dogs had broken
From kennel chains, by the ringieader
spoken.
To harry the ewes in the light OF the
moon
The blood on their jaws will hang EN-
anon
Rut no. for miles the sheepfolds moan.
And dogs bay from their farms alone !
Can she who shines so calm be fear?
What poison pours she IN slumber's
ear?

opinion and In educating young lawyers

that the Bar Association exercise strict

The Bankers Dramatic Return.

The triumphal return to Blair,
Nebraska, OF the banker who dis
appeared last winter on the eve OF
his banks failure for 100000 makes
story fit for chapter OF fiction.
The whole population in the street
TO greet him; the procession headed
by a brass band; a hundred men
eager to go on hls bond for $4,000;
his speech declaring that he had
come back TO start life anow-the
picture is all ready for the lively
novelist.
1t Is explained that the hero did
not profit by the failure, which re-
suited from badly placed loans: and
it is related that the banker, In the
"grasshopper years" OF Nebraska,
saved hundreds of men from failure.
SO on his return he finds that graft
tude which all men hope for.
Yet the pessimist, or even the
realist, will ind in one corner OF the
story a bit on which to feed. The
conscientious reporter announces
that the depositors' losses were paid
in full out of the State bank guaran-
tee fund The only loss fell upon the
banks stockholders.
How many stockholders were in
the cheering crowd that welcomed
the banker home?
