The Road to barley Dale.

Along the road to barley Dale the sum-
mer time has ficd.
And fading arc the petals OF the roses
that were red.
Though heavy, heavy grow my feet as
mounting heights scale.
Yet lcaping goes my heart along the
road to barley Dale.
Along the road to barley Dale the
graying folds are bare.
And day is dying with the sun that will
not sec mo there.
No birds are singing in the trees and
silent is the vale.
But singing goes my heart along tho
road to Dafley Dale.
Along the road 10 barley Dale all lonely
now fare.
But we'll indeed know that some ones
waiting for me there.
And rich the beauties now I see where
other eyes might fail,
For home Is at the end of 1.-THE road

Valuation and Rates.
Two Distinct Questions Involved In
the New Tariff.

10 THE New YORK HERALD: Permit
me to express my approval Of your edi-
torial article of last Wednesday on the
subject of American valuation. 1t is
about the only one have seen which
makes a distinction between the question
of American valuation and tariff rates.
and the importers are busily throwing
dust in the eyes Of the public on this
very question.
The question of American valuation
plus the rates is Of vital importance not
alone to the importers but to manu-
facturers and is deserving Of most care
full study on the part Of the tariff
makers. So far I have not seen one
valid objection to the principle of.Amer-
ican valuation. All Of the arguments
confuse the two questions of valuation
and rates.
i think / am correctly informed when
say that the first bill signed by George
Washington on July 4, 1889. was tariff
bill and 1t included the American valua-
tion principles Apparently. both in the
dNfting of laws and drafting of consti-
tUhons, our forefathers performed more
wisely than we do.

Urge Financial independence Of Schools
DR.. Frank Pierpont Graves Says New York City Mus
Follow Example Of Other Progressive Cities

daries Of the school district and OF the
city are coterminous.
Chester s. Lord in introducing DR..
Graves, said that demands made by
business institutions for we'll educated
employees is great aid to school en-
rolment. These requirements. he re-
marked, help to fill the high schools.
"vocational Training a sham"
Dr. Butler in his address said, In part
1T is well worth asking whether PEI
haps the public dissatisfaction with edu-
cation that Is now finding expression In
so many different ways and places may
not be due to the fact that under tne
influence OF its present methods ana
aims the once open door of opportunity
is closing in the face Of eager and am
bilious youth.
",rhe whole scheme Of vocational
training is not only a sham, and a costly
sham. but an immense injury both to the
individual and to the community. If 1t
is permitted to find its way into the six
elementary school years. or. in any bpt
the most restricted fashion. into the six
secondary school years" ~

Jerome Against Hylanisln.

There will hit the old campaign
trail against Hylanism tonight a
man who in public life a few years
ago had no peer in the power Of his
assaults against local political crooks,
grafters and middlemen Of what
ever breed.
WILLIAM TRAyERs JEROME, whose
name is still on every East Side lip
for the fiery and relentless war he
waged on trafflckers in vice and
crime, fought Democratic machines
and Republican machines alike in
those stirring days If the one or the
other was responsible for bad mu-
nicipal government, whether through
corruption or through incompetence.
Now he comes back to the stump, not
as a candidate for Office himself but
as man and citizen whose robust
morality and vigorous public spirit
cannot remain inactive in this mu-
nicipal issue Of straight politics or
crooked politics, sound government
or ruinous government.
The right thinking people Of New
York welcome WILLIAM TRAvERs JE-
ROME back into the time old struggle
against the city's despoilers and
wreckers. His arrival on the firing
line against Hylcnism is a thing to
hearten the men and women who
are in the fight not for any personal
gain but for the good of the city.
1t is thing for all New York to be
proud of in the splendid example Of
the public leader and private citizen
who does mot know what partisan
chip is when the towns welfare and
good name are at stake.
The old power to WILLIAM TRAvERs
JEROME!

Four Years Back-and Forward.

The budget for running the city OF
Now York in 1922, as passed by the
Board of Estimate, is 1851. 81, ,O07.09.
The budget for 1918, the last esti-
mate made by the Mitchell admins
tration, was $23S,123,759.
In spite Of the war Mayor mitchell
allowed the budget to increase only
$45, 100000 during his term.
In the four years Uf Hylanism the
budget has grown $113,S4S,24S-
nearly so per cent.
The tax imposed upon the people
Of New York under Mitchell was SAL
per capita. Under HYLAN, according
to the budget just adopted. it will
be $50 per capita.
AS families average five persons, 1t
costs sos year more to be a New
York family under HYLAN than 1T
cost under mitchell.
If the Tammany outfit can shoot
the taxes up s11a,s4S,ooQ-a year and
set away with it, what Will happen
to the poor taxpayer If he has to
stand four years more Of Hylanism?
If it now costs more than third
Of billion dollars year to run
New York, what is it likely to cost
in 1926 II HyLAN is kept in for an
other term?
Four years more Of HYLAy and
every taxpayer will need a hand or.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1921.
Rail Wage Cuts or Ruin.

The calm, lucid and altogether ad.
mirable statement of THOMAS Dr.
Writ CUYLER, chairman of the AS.
sociation of Railway Executives, on
the facts of the railroad situation
can leave no doubt in any fair mind
that railway wages will have to come
down, strike or no strike, just as
railway es will have to come
down, for ne all compelling reason
that they cannot be paid.
The wages, of course, are not paid
by the railroads; they are paid by
the traffic hauled on the railroads
And the fact Is, Mr.. CUYLER submits,
that agriculture and industry gener.
ally are unable to pay many of the
current charges for railroad trans
portation."
The similar inability of the roads
to make both ends meet when the
payrolls run as they have been run
ming is pointed out by Mr.. CUYLER
with the same statistics used by THE
NEW YORK HERALD in these columns
several weeks ago1 These show that
for the first eight months of the pres
ent calendar year the roads taken
all together did not earn the interest
due on their mortgage Indebtedness.
This means that as a whole they were
headed straight for receiverships,
and under receiycrships the courts
co not permit unions or anybody
else to make up payrolls that cannot
lie met.
In the first eight months of this
year, furthermore, the railroads man
aged to keep financially afioat only by
spending for maintenance $37S,000,.
900 less than they spent in the CORE
spending period even Of the disas-
trous year of 1920. Had they spent
no more in 1921 than they spent in
1920 for maintenance they would
have shown no net operating income
at all: they would have shown an
actual operating deficit Of more than
$70,000,000.
But keeping temporarily out Of the
receivers hands by failing to do
maintenance work-the upkeep of
roadbeds, repair and replacement of
wornout rails, cars, locomotives,
bridges. &c. simply means that
financial wreck is postponed for the
while only at the cost Of physical
wreck. The bankrupting wages can.
not go on IL the roads are in the
hands of receivers as wards Of the
courts; they cannot go on il the
roads become only piles of junk.
Neither labor nor management
says Mr.. CuYIER, "can resist the in
exorable economic forces" They can
not, indeed. And railway labor IL
hound to suffer more from the utter
ruin OF the railroads than from rea
sonable wage readjustments which
will permit the rate reductions
essential to the preservation oi
the roads, the jobs of the workers
and the business Of the country.

Another Portuguese Flareup.

The Government of Portugal, ac-
cording to message from Madrid.
las been overthrown and the royal
lists or the Monarchist party backed
by troops is in control Of Lisbon. A
revolt somewhat similar in character
and, as the early reports indicate,
fomented by the same dissatisfied ma
tional faction took place in May.
-he principal feature OF both Of these
| forced changes In the Government
is the action of the army, which
Portugal apparently is compelled to
keep up to size out Of all proper
ton to the actual peace needs of the
country, and of the small but rather
efficient navy. Neither the army
nor the navy has been force upon
which the Republic could depend, for
each has been controlled IL not ac-
tually commanded by Monarchist
sympathizers.
The Republic, which was proclaimed
IN 1910, has undoubtedly had hard
struggle for existence. Few of it's
early advocates and leaders have
weathered the tempestuous political
storms of the last few years. BRAGA,
the first Provisional President, and
ARRrAGA, his successor when the Con-
stitution was accepted, were quickly
| overthrown. Popular favor was not
kinder to the more prominent Of the
men who followed them, MAcHADo,
DR.. PAEs, General HIPpoLrrA, SA CAR
DosA and MARIA DA SILVA. Almost
every Premier who has really made
an effort to improve the political and
economic conditions of the country
mas failed of accomplishment and has
given up all his well laid plans of
reforms.
1t is a question IL MANoEL H., who
was deposed at the time Of the set
ting up OF the Republic, is back of
this Monarchist revolt. When the
royalists Of northern Portugal had
almost succeeded in the revolution
ary' undertaking OF two years ago
he declined an invitation to return to
Portugal and lead the royalist forces
to Lisbon. He was then in the en-
joyment OF peaceful security in Eng.
land and he apparently considered
this preferable to the doubtful sue
cess of the revolution and the perils
which royal life imposed at the
Portuguese capital.
The trouble in Portugal comes in
the first place from the fact that
the people are dissatisfied with their
failure to progress economically and
In the next place that they mistrust
most Of the politicians who have at
tempted to improve their political
conditions. The charge was openly
made short time ago by one of the
most influential Lisbon papers that
Portugal had nothing but mediocre
politicians to look to for guidance
and that there was not prominent
man who possessed qualities Of real
