In the interest of the people, should
not the man who is for the people

to denouncc this evil? What right
has the "bought" press, even when
speaking of curved subway tracks,
to repeat the notorious falsehood
that "that which is crooked cannot

The Borough Presidents

The five Borough Presidents have
votes in the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment. 1t is important that
as many anti Hylan candidates as
possible shall be elected as borough
heads. In Manhattan, now represent
ed on the board by Major Curran,
Ernest f. Eilert, business man of
high standing, is the coalition candi
date. He is publisher ard served
term on the Board of Education. He
is pledged to business administra-
ton" of the borough's affairs. His
opponent, julius Miller, was nomi-
mated after a bitter fight in the
Tammany ranks. He is Murphy's
personal choice. He ought to be de-
feated as such.
In the Bronx Joseph NJ. Levine,
lawyer and active civic worker, is
running on the coalition ticket
against Henry Bruckner, the present
Borough President. The latter is one
Of the cogs in the Hylan city ma
chine. In Brooklyn George w. Baker,
also conspicuous in civic activities, is
candidate against the incumbent,
Edward Ricgelmann, Hearst
Hylan lieutenant.
Maurice E. Connolly, President Of
Queens, has long been a conspicuous
figure in the turmoil of that bor-
ough's politics. He belongs to the
old order there. His coalition oppo-
nent, Edgar f. Hazleton, stands for
a new deal and higher-grade ad-
minis ration. In Richmond George
Cromwell, former Borough President
and long power in the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment, is the
coalition nominee. Mr.. Cromwell has
been Staten Islands foremost citizen.
He is opposed by Matthew j. Cahill,
the head Of the Richmond Democratic
organization.
In all these borough contests the
coalition candidates deserve to win
because they measure up much bet
ter to the standards to which q city
administration, to, be clean and eff
cient. must conform.

Normal Wheat Crops Again

Encouraging progress toward nor
malcy is indicated in the wheat crop
estimates. This years yield of twen-
:y-nine countries, not including Rus
sia, will be 2,s52,S25,o00 bushels.
This is about 190,Oo0,O00 bushels
more than last years. Touching the
most important of all food crops, the
world has practically got back to it's
ante -bellum standard Of production.
In the five years from 1908 to
1912. inclusive, the wheat crop of the
entire world ranged from 3,l82,000,-
900 to 3,75o, 100000 bushels, the
average being S,527, 100000. That
included Russia and various minor
countries not comprised in this years S
estimates. The Russian crop varied
greatly, ranging from 422 900 900 to
6o0,o00,000 bushels, its average be-
ing about b27, 100000. Deducting it
from the total of the world, we have
an average remainder Of 5000, 0,000,-
900. That is only 148,000.000 more
thar THIS years estimate from TWEEN
sy-nine countries, an amount which
may we'll be made up by the coun-
tries not included in the twenty nine,
but included in the former statistics.
The one obstacle to the restora-
ton of normal conditions in bread
stuffs, then, Is Russia. In former
years it generally produced large
surplus OF wheat and was able to
export largo quantities to other coun-
tries. This year, because of the
ieyiltries of sovietism, it is not pro-
ducing enough for home consump-
tion, and is looking to the rest of the
worldNor large supplies to save the
New-York tribune., 1921-11-07

people from starvation. To what
extent that circumstance will affect
the general bread supply of the
world remains to be seen. 1t will
probably not be affected seriously,
and if the favorable outlook now
reported for next years crop is
realized, 1922 may see the bread sup
ply of the world, quite Independently
of Russia, fully restored to the stan
dard of before the war.

Hearst by Proxy

This is not q fgh: of Republican
against Democrat. The fight is ono
Of Republicans, Democrats and the
non-partisan voters of New York
against William Randolph Hearst, OF
California"
That is the meat in the nut of this
campaign, and the leader of the coali-
ton forces does we'll to emphasize
It. And Mr.. Curran might we'll have
added that vote for Hylan to-mor-
row could be as effectively cast
for the jellyfish which Hearst, with
his manikin for a fearful audience,
rescued on the sands Of Palm Beach
in the spring of 1918.
Debarred by public opinion from
holding Office himself, Hearst can
satisfy the cverweenrng ambition Of
his life, amounting almost to an OBJ
session, only by proxy. That is all
there is left to him.
In his time Hearst has supported
many men for public Office, but never
in twenty-five years has he succeeded
in controlling one as long as he has
Hylan. Once, having been repudi-
ated as candidate for Governor by
the people of the state, he assumed
to have discovered proxy in that
Office in Alfred E. Smith. But Smith
would not grovel at Hearst's feet,
and for his rebellion he had to suffer
such q crucifixion at the hands of
the Hearst printing presses as few
men in public life have undergone.
Tortured beyond endurance. the
former Governor turned, and the
memory of New York is short, in
deed, if it does not recall the mass
meeting at Carnegie Hall on the
night Of October 20. 1919.
Mr.. Smith challenged Hearst to
meet him in debate on th:-t occasion,
and Hearst, true to form, refused.
Said Smith to 1000 people:
''Of course, am here alone. / knew
would be, because / knew the man
10 whom | issued the challenge, and
know that he has not got a drop of
clean, good red blood in his body. l
know the color of his liver. And
know it is whittier than the driven
snow, If such thing is possible"
AS if to prove all that Mr.. Smith
had said, Hearst suddenly ceased his
attacks, and as the campaign closed
declared for his reelection for Gov
ernor.
And to-day Mr.. Smith, true to the
traditions of Tammany Hall "regu-
larity," asks New York to believe
that Hylan has made mistakes"
but only through the impulses of
an honest heart"
The former Governor is now for
Hearst's manikin, his proxy. Are
you willing to accept his testimony
as to Hearst in 1919 or his testimony
AS to Hylan in 1921? In 1919 he was
speaking for himself. This. year he
must speak for Tammany.

Amendment No. 5

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May we call the attention OF
your readers to the Importance of
Constitutional Amendment No. s. which
Is to be voted upon at the election
next Tuesday? This amendment is i'm
portant because it will make possible
the removal Of limitation upon our
Chiidren's Court, limitation that has
seriously hampered the courts work.
Under our present constitution the
Chlidren's Court has no equity powers.
NO matter what the reasons may be for
taking child to this court, the judge
IS compelled to follow the practice OF
trying it as criminal, under the pro-
visions OF the penal code. He has no
authority to commit it .- any kind of
custodial care other than that Of an
institution
Children are frequently brought to
the court on account of neglect, desti-
tuition or cruelty. They are in no
sense criminals. The amendment, II
adopted, will open the way for legisla-
tion that will empower the Children's
Court to appoint guardians for these
children and reach and punish parents
who arc delinquent in the performance
of their duties.
The spirit Of this amendment is to
put the Children's Court in a position
to give the child greater protection
outside of an institution.

The Coming ouer
MARAH OF OLD pEERrIELD

MARAH OF OLD DEERFIELD
A CROSS hundred leagues OF snow
From Canada stole down
Red men and white, and ere the light
They took the sleeping town.
Scarce one hour high the winter sun
Had climbed, thnt bitter day,
When toward the north they hastened
forth
To the hard homeward way.
They huddled on the captive folk
Along the heavy trail,
Nor high again the sun stood when
The weak began to fail.
And little Mnrah Carter then
Was frat Of all to die:
Her step grew slow-an Indians blow
Felled her without cry.
Some walked the trail TO Canada,
And their old fields forgot;
Some passed their lives as savage wives,
Contented with their lot
Some from long months OF loneliness
Came struggling back, and found
No crops to reap save many heap
OF ashes on the ground.
But Marah saw not Canada,
Harsh ways no moro she trod;
She gained ways meet for childhood's
feet,
And saw the face of God.
A hatchet's strickland she was spared
All strokes fate held in store;
Who would give tears that her three
years
Attained not to three-score
G. s. 3.
Since the cotttsh rejuvenescence of
The Booknan under the editorship of
twenty -fve-year-old Mr.. John Farrar,
its name, Old Frank Hackett thinks,
should be changed to The Bookboy.

Wild SUNDAY GAME
Cobb Pokes Fun at Ruth's Up
turned Nose and Then the
Fun Begins.

NEW YORK, June 10. - Three
hours OF slugging. with delays. near
fights and the bsnishment OF Donie
Bush by the umpire, marked the
Sunday victory OF the Yanks over
the Tigers
TO further inhame a hectic day,
there were clashes between Babe and
Ty, and "wally" SchanR and Lew
Blue. Ty's first sacker. and another
near SCRAP with Blue and Charley
OLeary, the Yanks' coach. as COM
batants, and a clash between Bush
and Umpire Bill Dineen that led to
Bush's banishment.
But II was the near-action between
Babe and Ty that aroused real en-
thusiasm.
Ty, who had been enjoying a mer-
ry riotous Cobb carnival. which
means storm and strife and bewilder-
ment for his opponents, brought II
about by publicly "spoofng'' the
Bambino anent the general contour
of the Bsmbino's nose. Now. the
Babes nose Is not so long and not
so narrow and is tilted upward like
his cloud~stinging wailops. But the
Babe, who had been a movie" hero
considers Il rather piquant and re-
sents derislon directed toward t.
And Tyrus did just that publicly
and with the aid OF pantomIne.
Ruth rushed upon Cobb, growing
like grizzly. But Bill Dineen pro-
jected himself between the two de
luxe baseball prima donnss and saved
at least one OF the stars from q
slight tarnish,
But Tyrus, still irrepressitfa, twit-
ted the Bambino again in the sixth
inning. In this frame the Yank bus
ter lined a double to oenter, but was
out minute later trying to staai
third. Ruth protested momentarily
and Cobb, far out in center, whistled
and shrieked In gles. When the team.
exchanged sides. Ruth again at
tempted mixup. but II was disposed
