Governor Takes Best Course.

The Governor could have taken one of
two courses. it Is stated-do nothing
and permit the city 10 drift into further
chaos or rescue the city from impending
ruin. He had faced the problem cour-
ageous,y. Had he done less he would
have been false TO himself and to the
people of the city.
After detailing the Governors pro-
gramme, as outlined in his message and
in the letter to Gen. Oliver Il. Brig
man. the address states:
when 1t comes TO the detail of work
ing out such a programme there will
necessarily be marked differences OF
opinion among the intelligent and
thoughtful members of this community,
but it is out of just such differences and
just such discussions and such conflicts
of thought that ultimately public senti-
ment will crystalline upon the true,
equitable, fair and correct solution OF
this problem. The main purpose at the
moment is to ascertain the facts and
present them to have a tribunal before
which all parties may be heard, includ-
ing the city; to know that the hearing
does not end In a recommendation, but
ends in final decision. Taken all in
all. this constitutes the Governors. mes
sage and the Governors programme.
After explaining the provisions of the
bill the address continues:
This is not law this Is bill, pres
ented for your consideration, and upon
which you are invited to attend hearings
and make suggestions What. then, is the
duty OF the hour? Plainly to address
ourselves to the constructive side Of this
proposal and join in an effort to carry
to completion the work inaugurated by
our Governor.
"In measuring the value of our Cover
nor's recommendations some things must
be borne in mind. These recommends
tons do not emanate from demagogue
nor from laynan. They emanate
from one who has helped to make the
law of this State on this very question
as he sat upon the bench Of the Court of
Appeals. The man is speaking with ac-
ouracy. The people of the city Of New
York are receiving the most competent
legal advice obtainable in this COM
munity."

needs the money.
General Complaints Barred.
The State can compel the corporation
to specify the exact purpose for which
funds derived from an increase are to
be used. a company cannot go before
the commission with a general com
plant tat it is hard up and must have
more money.
Just how and where the money is TO
be spent must be shown and then the
commission can h I'D down the corpora
tion 10 using the funds as specified. If
it should develop the money was not
needed for the purposes specified the
commission may impound the sum and
turn it back to the State.
The commission will not have all the
trouble experienced by similar bodies in
New York during the last ten years
when starting in search OF information.
Officials of the marlborough and other
transit companies have got the habit
of refusing to answer questions asked
by Public Service Commissioners or to
give information sought
Railroad officials summoned before
the new commission will have to testify,
TO answer all questions or be declared
in contempt Of the State. Court pro-
ceedings will not protect corporation
officials who seek to hide their affairs.

Shadow of the Dome" presented at the
Belasco theatre, Washington, is termed
In resolutions of the Motion Picture
Theatre Owners of America, "a crude
production. conveying false, ludi-
crous, and unpatriotic impression of
our national Congress"
The owners publicly declare that the
picture was displayed in Washington
for the purpose of prejudicing Congress
against motion pictures in general.
We cannot help believing" continues
the statement that this film was in
spired by artifice, trickery, fraud and
Misrepresentation"
The promoters, after great adyertis-
ing. extended unlimited invitations to
members of Congress and the press
The picture was stupid, beyond all
question. AS to whether or not it was
propaganda, there is. of course. dis
pute. The hero is dissolute member
of Congress who drinks too much. espe-
cially in view of the restrictions of pro-
hibition, and who inveigles a young

HORRORS OF BEER ARE
REHASHED To DEF ,FC ALTON

Washington, May Especial. 1.-The
horror of beer is described in eommun-
lcations received today by members of
the Alabama delegation in the House
from DIR. w, B. Crumpton, president
and Dr. Brooks Lawrence, superintend-
ent, OF the Alabama Anti Saloon league
The Alabama officials of that organi-
IA ton would line up the Alabama mem
bers against any possible congressional
action respecting the decision of the
former Attorney General that nothing
in the law prevented a doctor from pre-
scribing beer if ne desired to; and in
favor of any measure that Mr.. VoIstead
might propose multiplying the decision
of the Attorney General.
There is no chance of any pro-beer
legislation, and the Volstead bill, multi
flying the opinion of the Attorney Gen.
eral, will be enacted. 1t is indicated
that the sole purpose of the communi-
cation from Mr.. Lawrence was to re-
mind the delegation that he is still in
the land ofothe living. and still on the
Hb.
The delegation, as in all such deli
cate matters, says very little for pub
lication. 1t answers DIR. Lawrence's let
ter, and says nothing about the con
tents of the reply. There Is reason to
believe that some members hope that
such answer will end the matter

the states of Alabama, Mississippi and
Oklahoma, together with the Washing

memorial exercises Sunday May 90 in
honor of Pushmataha, the great Indian
who preserved the white settlements in
and around Mobile.
When Pushmataha came into fame
Alabama was a part of the Mississippi
territory, and thus Mississippi extab-
fishes its claim. When the state was
organized and the Indians pushed
westward, the tribe of Pushmataha was
located in Oklahoma And thus Okla

mics OF the United States. He was the
only Indian to attain high rank in the
United States armies. On a visit to
General Jackson in Washington the

This done, she extended to the Presi-

time she opened her mouth:
Slice into the rough as much as you
please, Mr.. President
But it is not at all likely that the
President will soon dispose, or run the
risk of disposing, of the SO balls in
question. For each bears the auto
graph of a governor of a state of the

The President was pleased and
amazed. He insisted that Miss Trumbo

Eve-sorely against her will-was forced
to acquiesce when Julian asked her to
come for a ride. She cared for Julian.
She must do his bidding. She must play
whatever role he chose for her.
Quickly she dressed and found her rid
ing things, muttering little angry impre-
cations all the while she didn't look
Eer best this morning-and she knew it.
Besides she felt tired and sleepy. Oh,
for another hour or two in bed!
But no trace of her chagrin was Wis

her horse out in the groundsy assisted

Julian would put the pretty glow down
to the keen morning air, and not to its
rightful source-which was Partisan, and

But nothing in the world could ever
take in Julian Vandaveer! He had
known too many artificial women in his
day.
However, though he saw through Ewes
pretences, he thought none the less of
her for what he termed her "camou-
flage''
In his own curious way he liked the
girl. His feeling for her was scarcely
of a stronger nature. He was a man
of very slight affections-a strong eye
But he admired Eve for many rea-
soas He had no use for any bread-and-

Eve would make good pal, he told
himself She appealed to certain

If things went as he hoped, he had
serious thoughts of asking Eve to be-

MRS. HARDING RUNNING HER
END OF WHITE HOUSE

washington, May 20 - Especial J.
Mrs. Warren G. Harding, wife of the
President, has instituted the court"
system in the reception of her guests,
and all Washington society is agog.
The President might find 1t pleasing
to follow in the footsteps of Woodrow
Wilson, but Mrs. Harding has a mind
of her own. And that accounts for the
abandonment of the schemes of Mrs.
Wilson in the afternoon affairs at the
White House.
The ladies of Washington society are
pleased with the venture of Mrs. Hard
Ing. Mrs. Harding explains 1t by de-
cIarlng her desire to give to each of
Der guests the distinctive Harding
touch And this is how she does it.
She decides to receive certain of the
ladies of Washington on Tuesday aft
ernoon. She limits the number to "a
she checks from the list of the eligible
"a names of women who were not re-
ceived the previous week. To these
she issues cards for certain specified
hour and minute, the interval between
each being minutes.
S;4o o'clock Mrs. Harding stands In
lne reception room. At o'clock the
1lrst guest is ushered In. Mrs Harding
shakes hands with her, eieyates her
brows. purses her lips, gesticuIates for
emphasis and beams-each impression
in perfect accord with the subject mar
ter under discussion
when five minutes have elapsed, a
tell strikes, and instantaneously the
second lady presents herself, the first
in the meanwhile, gracefully retiring.
And thus the two hours are pleasantly
consumed Mrs. Harding retires to her
chamber with an idea that being the
wife of the President has certain draw

Mrs. wilson received her guests in n

oent Harding. And Mrs. Wilson had
no opportunity to say things to Mrs.
A. or Mrs. B exclusively. And some
PERSONS declared her to be as cod as

Well as the first lady of the land
sets the style, it is presumed that the
court system will be adopted through
out the United States. 1t is recalled
that the women would BE still be wear

THE HARVEY SPEECH
But. Mr.. President, what does the
Associated Press say? I read from
its dispatch to the Post The American
ambassador, George Harvey. in his
speech at the Pilgrim dinner, an
nounced that he had just received in
structions designating him to represent
the President on the supreme council
with respect to Silesia."
81 wonder how that effects the sena-
tor from Wisconsin and other irrecon-
ciliables? Does this not look like we
are going in? Is it the first involve
ment in European affairs2 The Asso-
ciated Press says Colonel Harvey has
instruction to take part in the Silesian
question. 1 do not know whether the
Associated Press is right or wrong.
But 1t Is generally right.
But strange as the above conflict
may appear, call attention. to still

regarded as the Presidents mouth

call particular attention to that very
remarkable speech. 1t is worth read
