Manly Men.

To THE New YORK HERALD: D!ogc-
mes. who In broad day enlisted the light

man, must often have been amused at
the pride and pretensions OF men.
Some men think the carrying Of a
cane adds to their dignity. Some affect

Ian strut. some a slow and stately pro-
gression. Others swing their arms. as

others will only be seen dressed in the
height of fashion. Others will never
be seen. no. never. carrying a bundle.
But perhaps the most pernlcious
forms of masculine pride consist In a
mans thinking that in order to be
manly he n.ust swear. talk roughly in
q bass voice and play poker.
The lawgiver Moses was one of the
greatest men that ever lived. yet he was
meek above all the men which were
upon the face OF the earth.' To be a
manly man Is to be meek and humble.

A Bad Tax Job So Far.

Congress gets back to work to-
morrow. and the biggest, the most
urgent and the most difficult part of
the work Is the tax measure.
So far as the House OF Represen
tatives has gone with the matter and
go far as the Senate Finance Com
mittee has tried to go with it the
proposed new tax system Is neither
flesh, fish nor good red herring.
Very little if any OF the expert
mental hodge podge will help to put
life and energy into American bust
ness. 1t will not satisfy the Ameri-
can public. It will not replenish the
national treasury. Therefore the tax
revision job as it stands to-day is
thoroughly bad job.
The reason for the poor tax reyi-
sion workmanship thus far is lack OF
legislative courage. But there is
backbone enough In Congress. just
as there are brains enough, to lick
the tax measure into proper shape
IL only that backbone will stiffen up
straight for the work In hand. Sen
ator SMooT knows what is needed.
TIe has the intellectual equipment to
provide 1t. He is not afraid to labor
for it and to fight for IL. What he
offers and what is the solution OF the
problem Is sales tax. whether 1t
goes on tho manufacturers output,
the middleman's turnover or the final
distributors delivery.
Such a measure viii bring this
country OF crude and antiquated tax
contrivances up to date. 1t will tend
to unburdcn business. 1t will help to
make unemployment, 1t Will free the
public from secret fleeing and 1t
will put into the national treasury
the money which the United States
Government needs to pay It's bills.
If the backbone In both branches
OF Congress will not back up the
backbone of REED SMoor in what
ought to be done, can be done and
sooner or later must be done the
country Is In a bad way for legisla-
tive representatives OF ability and
character. and the Government will
be in q worse for cold cash.

The Way to Clean the Docks.

SO far as New York knows the
Meyer committee has touched only
the edge of dock affairs. In the
brief time 1t has been able to devote
to the pier leases, however, 1t has
shown that New York was tremen-
dous loser through the methods OF
the Hylan administration. The city
lost the $4,000,000 of cream which
the lessees OF twenty-four piers
skinned in subleases and it lost
countless millions when the high
rentals charged by these lessees
drove ships to other ports.
If there were no other dock scan
dal than that it should be enough
to apprise the voters Of the danger
OF continuing the Hylan administra-
tion. Against the evidence presented
the Mayors underlings have put in
no real defence. They have pleaded
inability to check the graft Of the
pier lessees. A real Mayor can al
ways stop graft.
What might happen, In the unfortu-
nate event of Mayor HYLAN's re-
election, to the 127 miles of water
front which this city owns is an un-
pleasant but necessary speculation.
Does anybody expect HYLAN to re-
form the Dock Department because
OF last weeks revelations? IL there
be anybody so deluded he has only
to remember HYLAN and the schools.
HYLAS abused Mayor mitchell in the
campaign of 1917 because there were
$4,000 part time pupils; but to-day,
for all of HYLAN's promises, there
are 10000 part time pupils! That's
the way JOHN F. HYLAN reforms an
evil that he has observed.
The dock situation was problem
enough before ii came out that the
Hylan administration had been the
means of blocking commerce by per-
mitting favored lessees 10 farm out
piers at their own prices. Now, be-
sides making physical Improvements.
New York must present moral ones.
With an honest system of dock rents
fair to the city and to every ship
that ties up mere. we can win back
some OF the business that dishonesty
or imbecility has cost New York.
But that moral improvement re
quires the presence of a new set OF
men in the city government. Dock
Commissioners and Corporation
Counsels and Sinking Fund Commits
sioners OF the Hylan brand won't do.
The arrogance, the selfshness. the
stupidity that have made New York
goat and a laughing stock must be
banished. They cost too much money
and too much shame.

Cost of Progress.
AS Prices Go Up the General Stand
ard OF Living Rises.

To THE New YORK HERALD: IN re-
gard to the increase In the cost CT
living along with the increase In labor
saving machinery would go even fur
ther than your correspondent and say
that these very technical improvements
this very mechanical facilitation of pro-
duction, are the cause of the so-called
high cost OF living However, I am Of
the opinion that this high cost OF living
Is really fallacy; that the wage earn
er's best friends are the locomotive. the
reaper, the electric drill and all other
labor saving devices. and that. all told,
humanity is better Off Notwithstanding
the high marks OF prices.
Leaving entirely aside the question OF
the effect Of the late war on prices
there Is no doubt as to the truth of the
statement that the cost of living Increases
with progress and the accompanying I'M
provement In Industrial methods. This
Is equivalent to saying that the purchas-
ing power of money Is diminishing.
AS to the effect on wages os this
decrease In the purchasing power OF
money, It Is IN my opinion absolutely
NIL. I am not OF course speaking Of
money wages but of the sum total OF
products available for distribution as
wages. This Is called the wage fund
by economists. Labor has always re-
ceived and VIII continue TO receive
compensation In the exact measure Of its
productivity. regardless OF high or low
prices and regardless OF high or low
money marks OF wages.
Whatever the general level OF prices
and money wages may be at given
moment there Is always at least a ten
dency toward very definite adjustment.
between the two. Indeed. as long as
and whenever the proper balance has
been established little does II matter
what Is the general level of prices and OF
money wages. Let US not confound
money. the measure Of value. with real
values wealth. The point that does
matter however. Is that the wage fund
be as large as possible
Modern Ind ustrial methods, made pos
sible by perfected machinery and labor
saving devices OF all kinds, contribute
not little toward increasing the pro-
ductiv.ty of labor. and thus rs total
available sustenance. No money wage,
however muniacent. will achieve this

trade. Every bank and trust com
pany in the country has had losses
like these. While they remained on
the books among other solid assets
these questionable loans led to false
hopes that they might soon recover
their value. While they were re-
tained among good accounts and
reckoned as liquid funds in bank
statements these frozen loans ap-
peared as actual working capital
when they were nothing but a dead
weight drag.
Marking OF such losses definitely
and in lump not only affords q
clearer view OF a banks position but
sweeps away distractions to new

Our Troops on the Rhine.

Germany now owes the United
States more than quarter of bill
ion dollars for the keep Of the Amer
lean troops that have been on the
Rhine since the armistice. In fact,
the bill had reached S27S,O67,610 on
May I, nearly four months ago.
1t will be good thing for both
countries when the treaty Is ratified
and the $4,000 American troops are
sent home. Not that the soldiers
are having a hard time OF it. They
are living we'll. 1t costs Germany
$3.50 a day to house and feed every
officer and private. That is far more
than the French and British soldiers
are costing the Germans.
One reason why it Will be we'll to
take our men out Of Germany is that
it is foolish business to break a
debtors back. When he shows a
disposition to go to work the wise
creditor clears out Of his yard and
lets him alone, not trying to pile his
debt any higher.
The other and more important rea-
son is that this country does not
want to get, or appear to like, the
occupation habit. Fate has forced
America into about all the foreign
occupations that 1t can well stand.
- r,,I& o., l..
pendence, Porto Rico for Statehood
and the Philippines for whatever the
gods decide on. Uncle SAM has been
busy little occupier.
But those were cases Of necessity.
The watch on the Rhine Is no longer
q necessity for the United States but
an expensive formality that does this
country no particular good.

AS Fast as Uhlan.

When Peter Manning trotted an
exhibition mile in 1853 at Syracuse
on Wednesday last he equalled the
worlds record made by Uhlan on the
course at Lexington. Kentucky, on
October s, 1912.
He is the fifth trottcr 20 beat two
minutes, which was the limit of pos
sble speed set by even the most op-
timistlc admirers OF the breed quar-
ter Of century ago. As Peter Man.
ming is only years old he has a
chance of attaining fresh honors be-
fore the close of his career. The
other trotters besides Uhlan and
Peter Manning to surpass two min
utes were the mare Lou Dillon, the
stallion Ice Axworthy and the geld
ing Major Delmar. Lou Dillon
trotted IN 1881 at Memphis, Ten
nessee, as long ago as 1903. while
tho stallion made his record OF 1884
at Lexington in the autumn of 1916.
Major Delmar's f.59& was recorded
In a time trial in 1903.
