New Mexico's Election

Last November the Harding plu-
rality in New Mexico was 1000.
But on the same day the plurality of
the Republican gubernatorial candi-
date was only $500.
So Senator Bursum and his party
friends have reason to be satisfied
with plurality of 1000 at Tues
days special election. The vote was
only about two-t thirds that of year
ago. So relatively the showing is as
good as in the Presidential election.
Senator Bursum was said not to be
popular, and an independent candi-
date took from his strength. And
his Democratic opponent was the
same popular gentleman who came
close to success as a candidate for
Governor last year.
No sign, so far as New Mexico is
concerned, is discernible of the de-
crease in the Administrations
strength which the Democratic press
has widely advertised. 1t will be
only natural to have some recession,
for last years returns were abb
normal. But it has not come yet, and
conclusions that were ready to be
drawn need again to be placed in
storage.

the Washington Conference will
follow in every detail the Paris
Conference Of 1919? Has Mr..
Hughes inherited Mr.. Wilson's pas
sion for secret diplomacy?
But these are mere incidents.
The worst error Of all is the con-
tinued refusal to accept the present
league and all it's work forthwith.
The Administration "has even gone
to the extreme Of sending a local
consular officer to the League Sec
retariat with verbal explanation
that the United States. not being a
member of the league, could not
answer its communications"
Mr.. Fosdick is, of course, most
excellent gentleman. Hence the
greater the pity that he cannot re-
cover from the results of the cleo
ton. When Henry Clay was de-
feated the last time large number
of Silver Gray Wings took to their

Blue Wilsonites fall on the floor and

Improving the Omnibus

Without examining the agenda Of
the second International Congress
on Eugenics in session to-day at the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, one may be sure the program
is altruistic. The delegates are as
well-born as they can ever be.
Each man is an omnibus in which
all his ancestors ride" said Oliver
Wendell Holmes. The eugenic idea?
Is it not to make the omnibus a
many-cylindered automobile? The
eugenists look forward hundred
generations or so.
The complexities of heredity, the
prenatal influences that shape char
acter and ability are admittedly al
most beyond human ken. Great men
and women have not in most in
stances had noteworthy ancestry.
Exceptional parents are more likely,
it is contended, than commonplace
parents to produce exceptional chill
dren, but this is not q scientific
certainty. Nature is full of disap-
pointments and no less Of welcome
surprises.
The pioneer in this battling field
of genetic research was Sir Francis
Cation, who invented the word eu-
genics. He was cousin of Charles
Darwin, and it is Of good augury
that son of the evolutionist, Major
Leonard Darwin, is among those as
sembled at the present congress to
challenge the mysteries of birth.

Bad faith, bad judgment, political
skulduggery and a callous sacrifice
of the peace of the world to satisfy
political exigencies are some of the
charges made by Raymond B. Fos-
dick against the Harding Admins
tration's development of the plan
for the Conference on the Limita-
ton of Armament.
The real purpose of the coming
conference, according to this gen.
tleman, "is not so much the discus
sion of disarmament and the Pacific
adjustment as the accumulation of
a prestige that will enable the Adj
ministration to force the establish
ment of new association of
nations, differing from the existing
one only in having a Republican
instead of Democratic birth GER
tificate." In other words, the ADJ
ministration cares little about peace,
the settlement of dangerous disputes
and putting an end to the armament
race, and cares only to ape Mr.. Will
sons example and wreck the peace
OF the world in blind insistence
upon its own party program.
Mr.. Harding. further, has made
success impossible because he has
not invited the Hejaz, Abyssinia and
Ethiopia to- send delegates. sIs
there not danger" Mr.. Fosdick
darkly asks, that the discriminatory
basis of the conference may wreck
beyond repair the possibility of
world disarmament"
But, worse still, this conference
"seems to suggest q threat to en-
force on the rest of the world a
decision arrived at in secret by five
great powers. Does this mean that
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-09-22

shall be passed to restrain or abridge
the liberty of speech or of the press
and the Legislature shall pass
appropriate laws to prevent offenses
against any Of the provisions of this
section"
Will the public officials of this city
kindly cite by what legal right they
Instructed the police yesterday to ride
down, club. dispense and manhandie a
crowd of hungry, unemployed men :!
The only violence committed yesterday
was by the police. If the people can
not meet to talk over their grievances,
or to petition for relief from economic
pressure, they may resort to other
methods, following the example set
them yesterday by the New York po-
lice, who certainly made both Federal
and New York State constitutions mere
scraps of paper.

Of exposures entitled cone third OF. =
Like Mr.. Blythe and Vance Thompson,
Mr.. Cobb is one Of those fat authors
who reduce and tell, and in the present
uncovering he bares the entire process
from its inspiration to its accomplish

1t has been several years since !
viewed Mr.. Cobb's person, mammoth
upon the lecture platform, and at that
time he was an easy target for the
eye. The hippodromic outlines Of his
visceral cavity were splendid and
spacious, and all the other abdomens
Of literature were as mere foothills to
the Alpine magnihcence of his impos-
ing tumerosity. Mr.. Chesterton and
Hilaire Belloc were portly and adipose,
plethoric, gross and stout, but Mr.. Cobb
was fat. He says himself that one day
while calling for the telephone num-
bex "64 Broad" bystanders thought he
was ordering a pair Of trousers.
Now, however, he is one Of the most
shapely Of the penmen, lissome, though
not gaunt, and his scales inform him
that his weight has been reduced from
236 pounds to a mere 1877. The means
by which this amendment was achieved
are unique in systems Of reduction. De-
termining, for reasons Of vanity and
hygiene, to diminish his areas, Mr.. Cobb
stopped eating so much, and the miracle
followed. The scheme, as it is described
in "one-third Off," is almost as revolu-
tionary as that adopted by Miss Mary

Mr.. Cobb summons the most beeuil

to tell the story of his rise and fall. As
Kentucky youth, he says, he was
dwindly, If not slimmish, and it was
not until he came to New York to lead
the lazy life Of journalist that he

The Clubbers

The Bryant Park policeman who
was left on guard after stormy
day was apparently unable to dis
tinguish between Mr.. Zero's attempt
to set up his auction block and the
visit of six elderly ladies who
brought food with real desire to
give relief.
But the public sees the difference,
and as it condemns the trouble-mak.
ing vaudeville Of LedouX it also con>
dennis the flaming" Of those who
come with charity in their hearts
and supplies in their baskets. The
ways of the artful agitator are
many. He is adept in putting on the
livery of good causes while he serves
bad ones. But practically it is COM
monty easy TO tell the genuine relief
from its spurious brother.
Before spring comes other police
men doubtless will be called on t.
distinguish between the false and
the true. One way to avoid mis-
takes is for the police, from the
Commissioner down, to remember at
all times that they are agents of the
law and have no authority except as
the law confers it. Their uniform
gives no right to be brutal, or arb.
trary, or arrogant, no matter what
orders come from Headquarters. In
spectors and captains know who are
prone to be clubbers. Let such be
kept close to the station houses when
there is reason to apprehend riot,
for the clubber is not a riot quieter,
but riot inciter.
