Register!

Fusion is a fact in this campaign.
and not merely rhetorical term bor-
rowed from the past. The forces
aroused by the misrule Of the Hylan
administration are united. Partisan
ship has no voice in their councils
nor in the execution Of their plans.
The various elements composing the
coalition movement arc marching in
perfect step and alignnent-thei in
dependent Democratic organization,
the Citizens Union, the Republicans
marching with the impulse and as
surancc Of victory under a worthy
leadership.
This leadership, however, worthy
as it is, cannot prevail over Hylan
and Hearst and Tammany without
voters. To be a voter citizen, man
or woman, must have registered. It
should be unnecessary, it might be
imagined, to have to say that, but
experience. has shown that it is
something that must be emphasized
lest the best intentions 90 for
naught.
This is registration week. From 5
to 1880 O'Clock every evening this
week it will be possible for citizens
who mean to present themselves at
the polls on November to register.
On Saturday the registration booths
will be open from a. N. until
1880 p. m.
But, despite the larger opportunity
of Saturday, the spirit Of good citi-
zenship should suggest not postpon-
ing the act of registration until then.
The first available moment should be
seized by men and women to declare
their purpose to vote. Let not Hearst
and Tammany, for even day, find
heart in nor use to their ends the de-
duction they would draw from
hardness in registration. This is
the day TO begin smashing them and
their nlanikin Hylan in earnest.

The Same Coolidge

The Vice-Presio INT, In the change
from New England to the atnos-
phere of Washington, has lost moth
ing of his ability to utter a truth
simply and arrestingly. His New
ark address proves him to be the
same Calvin Coolidge who sometime
was Governor of the Commonwealth
Of Massachusetts, sometime its Lieu
tenant Governor and again its Sen
ate president or just City Attorney
Of Northampton.
"Ibcrc was not then, is not now
nor ever can be liberty without law.
Here is the whole test Of the ability
of governmcnt-not In observ-
anco Of the law when 1T protects our
selves, but in observance of the law
when IT protects the rights Of
others"
Is not that d thought which should
commend itself to those forces who
would abolish the guarantees Of the
Fourth and ] fifth amendments?
There can be TO liberty without
law: Nor can there be liberty with
ont respect for law on tho part Of
those Who enforce the law

American women's golf was q shade
inferior to that Of their sisters in
Great Britain and Ireland. But now
one is not at al! sure. 1t is nerve
racking ordeal to compete abroad
with the best in a given sport. The
change Of climate, the strange sur
roundings, the not hostile but for
cign galleries, all are handicaps. The
psychological hazards are more
treacherous than the traps and
bunkers. Thus The reversals of our
golfers in Great Britain and Of the
British golfers over here are quite
explainable. Miss Hollins made
brave fight at Turnberry last spring,
but was beaten, as was Miss Stir
ling. With the circumstances re-
versed it was the turn Of the Misses
Leitch to learn how hard it is to win
away from home.

To Miss Marion Hollins, of West
brook, l.. L., fell the honor to crown
season of we'll contested golf by cap
turing the women's 8 championship Of
the United States from the strongest
field ever entered in that event.
1t was Miss Hollins who defeated

pion, Miss Cecil Lcitch. And she
kept her game at The Highest pitch
in the final, cxcelling both in power
and precision the title holder since
1910, Miss Alexa Stirling, Of At

Miss Hollinss arrival at the top is
striklngly parallel to that Of Jesse
Gullford in the mems tournament at
st. Louis She, too, is a "sicgc gum"
and, like Guilford, has been driving
peraistcntly at the title year in, year

Sanity in Mid-Europe

The one thing needful for the peo-
pies Of the Danubian lands is the
recognition that nothing is to be
gained by cherishing the national
grudges Of the past. The war settle
ment provides the framework for
their political and economic develop
ment; but just so long as their
minds are poisoned by perpetuation
Of atavistic animosities the smooth
working Of political machinery and
tho exploitation OF material wealth
are thwarted. BY clcvating the
creed of reconciliation into a princi-
pie Of official policy the Rumanian
government paves the road to a
saner and better European common-
wealth.
The leading spirit Of this policy is
Octayian Goga, the Minister of Edu-
cation, himself Transylvanian,
who in the bad old days has known
the ruthless hand Of the Hungarian
government Under his sponsorship
not only the linguistic interests of
The Magyars Of Transylvania are

at Oradea Mare and Csucsa-the
former the cultural capital Of the
Magyar minority, tho latter Adys

precedent as an act OF good will on
the part Of victorious nation
toward a defeated enemy. Another
statue to Alexander Petoh. the
greatest Of Magyar bards, has been
erected under Rumanian government

A Simpler Budget

he first Federal budget new
ley is to DO submitted to Con-
SIS in December. The new budget
eau Is required TO present two
ks of estimates, one based on the
)ropriation bills for 1921-'22, the
sr segregating the estimates ac-
ding TO departments and indie
dent services. The House Com
tee on Appropriations has Just
rganized its subcommittee in or
to deal with the second book, for
correlation of department and
ependent bureau expenditures is
OF the necessary steps toward
airing out the old jungle in which
'ernment expenditure was en-
lgied.
Under the present system many
'artments and bureaus have been
EN- care Of. partly in one bin and
tly in another. Money for the
II Department, for instance, used
be voted La tho army bill, the
itary Academy bill and the sun
? civil bill. Congress got into the
bit OF loading down the sundry
il bill with new allowances Of all

ns of this system OF divided &C

The Franco-German Agreement

1t seems amazing to read headlines
like these over foreign dispatches:
"France Applauds Reparation Ac-
cord"; Germany Favors Pact With
France" The fact is that the
Loucheur-R -Rathenau agreement pro-
viding for German reparation pay
ments in Kind has pleased both ma
tions. 1t is the first time in many
years that any contact between the
French and the Germans has result
ed in mutual satisfaction.
Loucheur and Rathenau arc prac-
tical statesmen. They faced the repa-
ration problem without vindictive-
ness. 1t was to Frances interest TO
collect what she could from Ger
many in the most feasible manner.
It was to Germany's interest to pay
OF at least to promise 70 pay-in a
way which would least strain her re-
sources. The two ncgotiators we're
anxious TO cooperate III sowing the
problem along economical rather
than political lines. That they have
succeeded is shown By the approval
given to the agreement on both sides
Of the Rhine.
This ettlcment-should it be fol-
lowed by 8 successful Upper Silesian
settlement-will put the execution Of
the peace treaty forward long
stage. If Germany shows will to
do her best restitution will be made
easier for her. The lack Of that will
has been the great vice Of her post
war policy. France seems, however,
to have come to the point where she
is willing to take chances on the good
faith Of German leaders like Wirth
and Rathenau.

Veteran Preference
the Editor Of The Tribune.

o the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In one Of your recent issues J.
Ullrich writes on the soldiers prefer
cnce that is to be voted on at the COM
ing election.
He puts two questions and then asks
"Is it fair7"
Many men gave up position and fam
lily to fight. Now they are back and
connot secure employment. ask, Is
that fair?
The eoldicrs' preference bill will help
them to get COB"
Dir. Ullrich ends his letter by say
ing "No man went into tho service to
fight the World War for democracy to
return to deprive others OF their equal
rights as American citizens"
II your correspondent knew little
moro Of this bill he wouldn't have
made such statement. Contrary to
tho opinion most people have formed,
tho bill docs not say that a veteran
must be put ahead Of all others, but
provides that in case two men, for in
stance, have the same mark in passing
the veteran would get the preference.
IF Mr.. Cllrich had served in the war
and come back to find himself down a
few pegs both financially and other
wise, and wanted a position, he would
be slad to have a little thing like pref
crence given him, all other things being
equal. WILLIAM r. TAFT

Studying Roads

Motorists crossing the Connecti-
cut-Massachusetts state line on the
Connecticut Valley road from Hart
ford to Springfield during the latter
half of August verc surprised at
being stopped by agents Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. They dis
covered that the first official traffic
census was being taken. Passenger
cars and trucks were weighed. the
estimated number and frequency of
trips recorded and the average speed
noted. The data thus obtained arc
to be used in connection with in
jormation derived from experiments
on the effect OF the impact Of trucks
upon the pavement, They form part
of q systematic study of road i'm
provement.
The department is to be congratu-
lated upon its enterprise. The ever
growing number Of trucks and the
Increasing loads shipped by road
mako it essential to approach the
problem Of road building from a sci
entiiic angle. In order to support
the tremendous strain from trucks
the roads must be solidly built. The
time has come to realize that good
roads are Of as great Importance to
the country as good railroads.

Hungarian Carlists

To ths Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune of October 4
appears an open letter under the head
ing THE Return of Charles. Do the
People of Hungary Want Their Former
Ruler Back ?" Since YOU ask this qaes-
tion openly, am taking the liberty to
answer If, as every citizen Of the
Hungarian naeion should do.
Yes, We most sincerely and deer
'ninedly want him back Your esteemed
paper may SUPPOSE that loyalty and
faith are ideas of the Middle AGES, out
evidently the Hungarians arc Of dii-
ferent opinion, which fact VIII be prac-
tically demonstrated as soon as
chance shall be given to the hungarian
people to express their wishes,

tricts in Transylvania; Magyar law
ycrs are permitted to plead in their
own tongue. Recently the order re-
quiring officials Of Magyar race to
taarn Rumanian within year was
amended by cancellation of the time
limit. Another high official, DR..
Metes, governor at Cluj (Klausen-
bure), formulates the Rumanian at
titude as follows: "Competition Of
our several nationalities in the field
Of science, literature, commerce, will
benefit each. We do not wish to
wipe out nationality; that was the
absurd striving Of oldtime Hun
gary. Instead we want to exploit the
values inherent in the living togeth-
or Of various races"
Here speaks the voice Of twentieth
century democracy. This Rumanian
attitude is all the more remarkable
as the Runanians were the most bit
terly prosecuted nationality IN pre-
war Hungary. In pursuing policy
Of reconciliation the Rumanian gov
ernment achieves that most desira-
bic feat OF craftsmanship, combining
the higher justice with the consider
alton of Immediate expediency; for
its tolerance wrenches the best
weapon from the hands of Magyar
irreconcilables. 1t is easy enough
for outsiders to say that the course
chosen is the only possible and prac-
tical one. Long enough have the
peoples Of Central Europe been VIC
tinlized by the insistence Of their
rulers on policies not only unjust but
also obviously impractical.

Fires Through Negligence
Ninety Per Cent Due to Carelcssness
Watch Defective Flucs

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Five hundred million dollars
in r. year Is a considerable sum for a
nation to pay for the privilege Of be-
ing careless.
There is no country in the world
whero the FIRE loss is so great per
capita as in the United States. What
10 the reason? Do we build badly? Arc
our architects and builders at fault
Yes, that is part Of the trouble; we use
more wood than other peoples; we
build less substantially and we build
higher.
But it has been stated by authorities
that 80 per cent Of all fires are due to
carelessncss on the part of property
owners.
This Is really the cruz Of the mat
ter and this is why Fire Prevention Day

emphasis in order that every person,
