When Easter comes like to think of youth aflarne
With all the vivid promises of early spring
l like to think of budding trees, and winds that
sing
And-most of all-when some one speaks the
Savlor's name,

A little smiling Boy against His mothers knee.

WHEN EASTER COMES

When Easter comes, do not think of Christ who hung
With bleeding hands and feet upon rough-hewn
cross
do not see Man, Who suffered pain and loss,
And triumphed over death. No, when the world
is young
think of Christ the little Lad, whose mother sung
Above His trundle bed. Who traced the laughing
Of many mountain stream to where halfhid by moss
Upon the shores of Galilee, pale violets sprung

Had He not risen
What, wise prophets, then?
Where would have gone the
Laughing eyes and lips?
Could they have sung, the chanting
hearts OF men?
What OF Promised Land, where
honey drips,
Where flowing milk supplies with
nourishment?
What OF vain prayers and wasted
Sacrament?
Had He not risen
Women at the Tomb,
What of unbroken shackles that ye
knew
What of your sisters. weeping for
their doom,

HAD HE NOT RISEN

Fearful of clouds all sunless to their
view?
What of the depths your misery had
found?
What of your souls Sin pinioned to the
ground?
But He has risen!-
AS the prophets said
AS women at the Tomb believed
The Christ has risen Who was three
days dead.
Dead while the faithful bent in
prayer and grieved

torn hands

From Farm to Table

How to span the gap between pro-
Queer and consumer is a vital SUBJ
ject these days, especially vital in
the case Of the farmer and the house
wife. Once upon time the coming
Of summer brought to the table
fresh fruits and vegetables to re-
fresh the jaded winter appetite.
Now there is very little difference
between the winter and summer
menus. for the reason that canned
foods are much cheaper than those
in the original state. Fresh produce
from the farm and orchard is more
and more difficult to get, and more
and more expensive as the summers
roll around.
It is not only the country and sea-
shore hotels that are guilty of de-
priving the summer table of it's share
of fresh garden sass" because the
farmers ship it all to the city mar
kets. 1t is in the city restaurants
and home kitchens that the can
opener is in constant use, summer as
we'll as winter. Who eats the ten
der green peas is a mystery. APP

conserver Of the surplus of perish

Pride and Prejudice

(From The London Daily Enpress)
Eight starving people have been
picked Up in the streets of London dur
ing the past few days and taken to
hospital. 1t is a biting commentary
on the age. London is the richest city
in the world; the machinery for re-
lieving distress in this country is vast,
expensive and complicated, the out
come of generations of concentrated
thought, acres of statistics, tons of
Blue Books. Yet in defance-so it
seems-of all this, certain human
pride prefers starvation. No doubt
this weakness, in the ideal state of Mr..
and Mrs. Sidney Webb, would be treated
as a monstrous and childish folly and
punished accordingly. But the cold
fact remains that our polished ma
chinery lacks just that note of human
sympathy in its administration for
which our weak nature Graves, and un-
til it acquires that note responsibility
and pride will continue to starve by
choice. 1t is probably wicked and
wrong, but it is human.

Mexican Ventriloquy

To the request of President Chre-
gon of Mexico for authority from
the Mexican Congress to interpret
Article XXVII Of the Mexican Con-
stitution so as to make it conform to
international law the Chamber Of
Deputies has given a negative an
swer, while the Senate has re-
sponded in the affirmative.
The result is continuation Of the
status quo. To Mexicans who dis
approve his willingness to cater to
Yankee demands he can say that he
meekly bows to the Judgment of
Mexico's lower house. To those who
agreed the article should be changed
he can say that his good Senators
supported him. So the matter is
disposed Of. Caramba!
The outcome suggests that Senor
Oregon may be a ventriloquial
statesman-is skillful enough to have
a baby on one knee saying "No" as
the other baby says EYES," while the
master Of the show keeps his face
straight. If the senior dictated both
answers it would be a maneuver
quite in accord with Mexican ideas
Of cleverness. But, unfortunately,
such cleverness, such a casting of
roles and assignment of dialogue,
does not help to arrive at a set
Element.

The Drug Roundup
Home Rule Possibilities in Amending
the Sanitary Code
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: New Workers who are clamor-
ing for home rule overlook the pos
sibility Of obtaining it by she proc
ess of amending the Sanitary Code.
According to to-day's Tribune. an
amendment of this kind by the Board
of Health "has given to the police Of
this city the same powers as under
the public health laws were abolished
by the Legislature on May 10 last" It
is thus seen that all that is necessary to
override the action of the Legislature
and the veto of the Governor is to
declare the result of their action as
in this instance, to be dangerous to
the public health and menace to the
public welfare"
This action has been followed by
Crusade" a "drive," or roundup"
against alleged drug addicts in which
more than hundred detectives were
engaged. Despite the detectives supe-
riority in numbers some of the prison.
ers of these officers of the law "had to
be dragged down flights of stairs" The
Importance of these arrests may be
understood when it is stated that one
OF these prisoners, youth of sixteen,
offered Commissioner Simon 81 900 FOR
his release when brought before him.
One of the few commissions that
have ever been wiped out of existence
was the Narcotic Drug Commission Of
this state. It's abolition was de-
manded by Governor Miller Immediate
ly on his induction into Office, II not
before that event. By making the
Commissioner of Health of the city an
agent of the Narcotic Commission, this
body was able to utilize the Sanitary
Code as an adjunct in its business.
Under the power of the Department Of
Health a system Of regulation Of
drug addicts was established. It's rubber
neck attachment made the scheme IA
nous. Under the same power drug
addiction was proclaimed to be pes
tilential disease, subject to the same
control as other diseases OF this char
acter. All this was intended to cure the
drug addict of his "habit" after he
was caught. At the hearing before the
Governor IN a bill advocated by the
New York Department of Health for the
compulsory institutionalizatio of drug
addicts the State Commissioner Of
Health testified that he never knew Of
case that had been cured. This bill
was vetoed by the Governor. The next
amendment to the Sanitary Code may
compel institutional treatment exclu-
sively Of drug addiction.

Japan Comes In

Japan is to participate in the Wash
ington conference, subject to only
one condition-and that a non-ob-
structive one. Toxic, despite the ad-
vice of The World to the contrary,
now comedies that an effort to re-
strict naval construction would be
futile if discussion of Pacific and
Far Eastern questions were barred.
1t sensibly recognizes that the Pacific
and Far Eastern situation is the
underlying cause of existing naval
rivalries, and therefore gracefully
admits the soundness of the original
American contention as to the scope
Of the conference.
Japan merely asks that the agenda
on Pacific and Far Eastern problems
be discussed prior to the meeting Of
the conference. The United States
Goes not oppose such preliminary
program making. The vital aim of
the Harding Hughes policy is to keep
clearly to the front the cause-and-
effect relation between unrest in the
Pacific and the reluctance OF the
three great sea powers to call halt
on naval construction.
A Japanese newspaper, the Asahi,
says that Japan may raise the ques-
ton of dismantling the American
naval bases at Hawaii and Guam.
There seems no valid objection to
this. Japan may bring into the con-
ference any and all of the matters
which from her point of view stand
in the way Of better international
understanding in the Pacific. If the
Hawaii Notifications seem danger
to her, the steady APPROXIMATION of
the population of the islands is "a
counter danger to US. If the refusal
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-29

of the United States, Canada and
Australia to remove restrictions on
japanese immigration is to come be-
fore the conference, then it also may
be worth while to ventilate the
question OF dual Japanese loyalty
snd to determine whether Japan has
actually laws, such as Germany had,
providing for the automatic recov-
cry of an expatriate's citizenship.
Trouble and distust have spread
under cover in the Pacific and naval
preparation has been speeded up be-
cause of the possibility of a clash
there. But the people of the United
States, Great Britain and Japan have
only the vaguest notions about the
causes of controversy. If sufficient
publicity is given to these causes the
world will at least know definitely
why the chief sea powers have con-
tinued to arm. If they have armed,
as they all think they have, not for
aggression but for self-defense, a
reasonable limitation of new naval
construction ought to be easy.
Fulfilling not only her duties as a
host but pursuing course IN our
national interest as we'll as in the In
tcrest of mankind in general, the
United States will enter the confer
ence in the best of faith. The sin
cere desire of our people, as it is that
of our President and Secretary of
State, is to set an example of toler-
ance and fair play, asking TO more
from other nations than we are will
ing to concede to them.

Illiteracy

The statement made by United
States Commissioner Of Education
John Tigert at the Rutgers sum-
mer session proclaimed strongly,
even vehemently, the evils that Turk
in illiteracy.
1t is nothing new, indeed, to be
told of our illiteracy. General
Pershing has told of it. DR.. Eliot
has told Of it. Owen Wister has told
of it. The army records have re-
vealed it. "One man in every four in
the American army could neither
read nor write English" From time
to time the published statistics have
temporarily shocked US.
We spend more upon education
than any other nation, and get less.
In spite of the enormous sums
squandered, our teachers are under
paid, the school buildings in our
large cities are inadequate, thou
sands of children being schoolless.
Almost every month some new
tangled educational theory is adj
vanced by a distinguished" educa-
tor. The parents are blamed for
their Indifference and neglect of
their children. The authorities are
blamed for their laxity and incom-
petence. In turn, everybody is
blamed and little is done.
Where there are so many fad
dists and extremists, and 80 much
diversity of climate and govern
ment, the difficulties must Of ne
cessity be great. When our fore-
fathers created the Constitution
common peril compelled the thirteen
states, against their individual pref
udices, to unite and form a Federal
government. This peril was one
easily grasped by the simplest mind.
Many men had fought for it in the
field. 1t was tangible, concrete,
ever present. In the case of illit-
eracy the peril is invisible, hard
even to visualize. But it is likely
to "get" us in time, as Mr.. Tigert
declares, unless we unite.
The first thing to do is to get a
uniform standard among our states.
Just as we created constitution,
so we should create q .uniform edu-

Tax Revision First

AS result of the dinner confer
cnce at the White House between the
President and Republican Senator's it
is announced that the Fordney tariff
bill will be kept in a pigeonhole Of
TIC Senate Finance Committee until
the tax revision bill is passed.
Tic Administration thus again
shows that it can be relied on to sup
port commensurate policy. N]
until there is agreement as to reduo~
tions Of the internal taxes can it be
known how much must be raised by
customs duties. Practically every
one except Chairman Fordney early
saw this fact, and the chairman
poorly served the ideas to which he is
friendly by ignoring it, thus giving
his tariff bill bad start.
The supporters of the sales tax
proposed having failed to get into
even measurable harmony as to what
sort of sales tax was to be estab-
llshed, the project seems abandoned,
except to the extent that the list Of
specific articles whose buyers must
pay taxes is enlarged. Extend this
practice far enough and make it
level, and, Of course, it becomes a
retail sales tax.
The plan is for the House to rush
tax revision through and then for
Congress to take a recess while the
Senate committee natures the raw
measure. So when the House bill is
brought out and debated, and even
passed, it is not to be regarded as
much more than a first draft that
will undergo many changes.

Why Livingston's Course?

Jacob A. Livingston, the leader of
the Kings County Republican Com
mittee, may not be a politician Of
marked intelligence, but his intelli-
gence is enough to inform him that
his recent political course is neces-
sarily viewed with grave suspicion.
When the matter of ordering an
investigation of the Hylan admins
tration was under consideration he
opposed such a course. Why?
He never offered any adequate ex-
PLANTATION. Yet he stubbornly stood
in the way of any inquiry, and thus
sought to protect the Hylan admin
istration and Tammany. The in
vestigating committee was named
in spite Of him, but it is not re-
ported that he has done anything
to assist it's work.
The gossip of Brooklyn has it
that Mr.. Livingston has been in
private conference with McCooey,
the Kings County Democratic
leader. However this may be, it is
not open to doubt that the Living
ston policy has been one that Nc
Cooey must be pleased with.
Now Mr.. Livingston appears to
be doing what he can to throw a
monkey wrench into the machinery
of fusion. A short time ago he
said he was favorable to the noni-
nation of Senator Lockwood for
Mayor. But when the nomination
seemed likely to be made Mr.. Liv-
ingston reversed himself. Why?
1t is unusual for a Brooklyn leader
to object to the honoring of a neigh
Dor. To do this is to flout the
traditions of the borough. The
public has not forgotten the service
Mr.. Livingston performed for Hylan
four years ago. Is there to be a
repetition this year?
To one thing the Republicans of
New York are sensitive-they will
not have double-teaming with Tam
many. This touches the party's
honor. They sadly know that in
times past their organization has
sometimes disgraced them by BIZ
partisanship and will have no more
of it. Mr.. Livingston may well be
careful.

When a Teller Needs a Friend


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The only relief from the heat
wave that many of the children in my
neighborhood in Brooklyn have had is
the public shower which was erected
about a week ago. Yesterday two wom-
en- called at each house on the block
seeking signatures to petition that
the shower be removed.
Their chief objection to It seemed to
be that they couldn't stand the class
of people who came to use it and the
fact that the presence of these people
disgraced them before wealthy friends
in whose car the women came home
one evening. May wonder, in passing,
if these women or their wealthy friends
ever do anything to make this class of
people any happier?
The shower has been removed ana
the children are suffering from the
heat, and their parents, in anxious
solicitude for their welfare, are be-
seeching that it be returned. Will no
one hear their plea for relief?
Loyalty is love. II is more than love
of standards; it is love that includes
all men. Are these children being
shown an example Of the love that will
make good citizens of them? Surely
those who signed the petition were
thoughtless. / cannot think they were
