Republican Obligation

(Fror The Brooklyn Ddlg Eooie)
Henry H. Curran has the qualities
needed to make a good Mayor. man
Of high principles, Intellectually well
endowed, soundly educated, expert
enced in public life, ne deserves fns
confidence and support OF every voter
who desires change in the present
methods of city administration. NJ
Curran's political strength was re-
vealed when, after two years o. the
existing city government. he redeemed
the borough administration of Man
haitian from Tammany's control. Run
ning then as a Republican, he received
many thousands of Independent votes
The first obligation resting upon III.
Curran's supporters is to make cef-
tain of his success in the Republican
primaries He cannot hope 20 De
elected Mayor if he fails TO receive
the Republican nomination. The or
ganized strength of the party IS
practically assured TO him in every
borough but Brooklyn, and here his
success is questioned only because o.
factional differences which are stima'
lating rival candidates.. !

Russia's s Disease

According to an official report of
the Dcns rtment of Commerce, based
on fig es published by the Boil
shevist p~ess, the pig iron produc-
tion Of Russia in 1920 was 2 per cent
Of the production of the nte-Bol-
shevist years.
Twenty-four provinces of Russia
produced surpluses of grain before
the revolution; now only four have
srrpluses. The decrease in area
planted to grain is in excess of so
per cent. The peasant has land, but
will not sow it. He is not sure the
crop will be his.
The usable locomotives of Russia
have decreased from 1906 to about
5000. To get material for main
lines rails Of local lines are torn up.
What supplies Russia has are locked
in the places of their origin.
Russia's misery flows from politi-
cal causes. The tree of communism
has borne fruit according to it's kind.
Philanthropy will alleviate the star
walton. but will not remove it's cause.
The remedy must be in the establish
ment of a political system that does
not war with sound economics and
the unshakable habits of the human
animal.
At Riga Senator France is report
ed to have verbally attacked Colonel
Ryan, Of the Red Cross, accusing
him Of having helped foment the
Cronstadt rising. The accusation,
considering its source, is presump-
lively untrue, but if true Colonel
Ryan has no reason to feel ashamed.
He can plead that his sympathy for
the poor Russian people led him to
act, and say that if the rising had
succeeded there would be less need
to-day for the ministrations of the
Red Cross and the Hoover organiza-
ton. When will silly babbling about
Russia cease and clear recognition
come Of the way effectively to help

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: My husband served in the late
war, first as captain and then major,
thereby losing his position in the busi-
ness world. This caused US to sell our
home, and we are not entirely re-
established yet, but neither of us be-
lieves in the bonus, and we think Pres
ident Harding did just right. A few
hundred dollars would be small help
to each individual, but would only be
adding to the fearful debt that the
country is staggering under now.
But | do believe that strong senti-
ment of gratitude and loyalty should
be felt in the hearts of all in Amer
ica to-day. AS soon as the khaki was
off so was all feeling for those who
served and sacrificed. The war was
over--no further use for them. Give
the preference in business to the man
who stayed in during the war.
a young man last fall was tried for
the murder of police officer. While
the evidence was not conclusive, it was
positive he had been willing to die
for his country and had had an honor
able discharge from the army. But
did that make any difference to the
jury? No. indeed. No nonsense about
an -soldier-kill him. And about the
same idea in business.
The country should give the prefer
ence wherever possible to those who
served The sentiment Of the country
should still be with them. But toward
the wounded all the people and the
government should err on the side Of
prodigality c. l.. BUCKLEY.

Good Platform. for Good Man

q FoH Ihe GIobe)
New York Republicans have two
good reasons for voting for Majo
curran in the primaries on September
10. The first is they want to see an end
of Hylanism, which is possible only
through a genuine fusion effort. The
second is that Major Curran is better
htted for the job than any of his
Republican opponents better fitted
both by native endowment OF character
and by long and intimate connection
with the city government To know
New York City's municipal problem is
almost lifetime's task; and there il

Sniping

Judge Haskell, of Brooklyn; Major
La Guardia, President of the Board
of Aldermen, and former Senator
Bennett, who has claims to be re-
garded as a perpetual Mayoralty
candidate, have SHE'D their several
hats into the ring as contestants
against Major Curran in the Repub-
lican primaries.
Such action is the privilege of
these gentlemen. They are respon-
sible 10 nobody except themselves
and that general opinion which
'iecent men respect. But to have a
privilege and to make use of it are
G'fferent things. 1t may be respect
folly asked what idea or ideas are
fahind this trio of candidates. and
shat may be their practical conse-
quences.
Call the roll, beginning with
Judge Haskell He says he is as
much opposed to Tammany misrule
as any one. But his candidacy raises
another matter, namely, the ques-
ton of Federal prohibition. And it
involves no violent assumption to
say that he expects his special
Aarcn's rod will swallow it's rival
and bases his hope Of success on his
outspolSen wetness.
The haskell candidacy thus is not
honest or fair to New York; not
NEST, because Judge Haskell is
ven a.4are his election would not re-
real the Eighteenth Amendment
that the Volstead act is national
ard not a local measure. Calvin
Coolidge when he vetoed beer bill
said be did so because he would not
he party to a fraud-that he would
,ot pretend that a Massachusetts
law could expunge a part of the
Federal Constitution. Next year,
when new Congress is to be cho-
sen, the prohibition issue will be
germane, but it is not, and cannot
te, in municipal election.
His candidacy is not fair to New
York because it will tend to obscure
the real business of the year-that
is, the expulsion of Hylanism. It
will divert public attention from the
rounding up of Tammany. 1t will
thus assist Tammany, which always
finds the fishing good when waters
are troubled.
The idea behind the candidacy Of
Major La Guardia is less clear. II
looks to some degree like personal
ambition without regard to public
interests. Impulsiveness and q
liking for conspicuousness may be
promoting factors. We don't know
as to this, but we do know that
Major La Guardia represents nc
good principle that Major Currar
does not more completely anc
notably represent. The town has a
warm feeling for this gallant avia
tor who carried good news to his be-
la9ed Italy, but his army experience
must have taught him that there
cannot be two commanders in chief
at the same time.
AS to former Senator Bennett, il
r,ay be said he is of the familiar
type of reformer which has too much
ego in It's cosmos. He is tempera-
mentally recalcitrant, congenitally
an enemy Of team work, and must
kaYe his own exact way if he is tc
refrain from biting and scratching
as mischief-maker.
The three may be expected to hear
the charge that they are sniping. II
they are not sniping why does Tam.
many smile and cheer them on?

Caruso
Passing of the Worlds Greatest Tcno
Singer and the Man

The Singer and the Man
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Those who recall the feeling of
almost personal bereavement when the
news was flashed that "Charles Dickens
Is Dead" will understand how all who
love singing everywhere feel at the
passing of Enrico Caruso, the worlds
greatest tenor
There were great singers in
opera and concert before Caruso. and
there will be in the days to come, but
few have reached the hearts and
captivated the minds of the public as
he did by the melody of his voice and
his histrionic genius. 1t will be pleas
ing memory of the after years to be
able to recall that wonderful voice
as perfect an organ of vocal utterance
as has been given within the memory
of those now living-and it will make
thousands who never heard it bless
again the inventor of the phonograph,
which brings home the sound of the
songs, but, alas, cannot reproduce the
mesmerism and personality of the
singer. D. HAVELOCK FISHER
Pompton Lakes, N. j., Aug. 2, 1921.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the death of En1ico Caruso
the world loses not only it's foremost
singer, but very remarkable man as
well. Caruso was beloved by those who
knew him quite as much for his manv
kind and generous acts, as for his
great artistry. He was conscientious
worker, and never disappointed" if it
were possible to avoid SO doing.
l had the privilege of being on the
stage the last night he sang in public
Christmas Eve, 1920. Those who were
IN close contact with the great tenor
that evening will long remember his
fine exhibition of grit and courage.
Suffering greatly from throat and lung
Infection he struggled bravely through
the difficult role Of Eleazar, in Halevv's
LA Juive." rather than disappoint his
many friends and admirers who had
come to hear him. Those who were
there came away with feeling of deep
respect for Enrico Caruso the man.

1t may have been, as Judge Friend
said, just verdict that acquitted the
Seven against Thebes; but the news
OF the whistling and cheering that ac
companied the announcement of the
verdict filled us with dismay. Of
course, it is doubtful whether Eddie
Cicotte's first thought, when he said
he'd throw the ball out of the park if
necessary, was of the public; he did
1T, as he said, for the wife and the
kids. He thought Of himself, not of
the public; and if his intention was
not to defraud the public, he was, as
we understand the case, innocent. For
seven men weak enough to fall for an
alleged plot to throw o so-called World
Series we have compassion; but they
certainly do not merit the joyous sup
port Of the sport-loving public.
Though we sometimes wonder what
percentage of a baseball crowd is
