The Telltale Voice

The probability that the use of the
wireless telephone will soon become
general is confirmed by a report
made to our Department of Com
merce by Consul Wilbur T. Gracey,
at Birmingham, England, certain
wave-length difficulties and other OBJ
stacles having been overcome.
To those who are familiar with the
wireless telephone one of the most
astonishing things about it is the
way in which it reproduces the hu-
man voice. 1t would seem as if the
air was a much finer and more accu-
rate medium than the ordinary tele-
phone wire. When one listens to the
voice of an unknown person through
the air medium the character Of that
person, his temperament, the quality
of his mind or that subtle something
that goes to make up the sum total
OF his personality seems to be re-

No Buyers Strike

Comparing the actual sales in
May, 1920, of forty-fve firms oper-
ating fifty-eight representative stores
in New York City with the sales in
the same establishments in May, this
year, the Federal Reserve Bank re-
ports that in dollars the sales fell
off 13 per cent. But as to volume
the bulletin says:
"rhe number Of transactions was
about 10 per cent greater, and when
price changes are taken into consider
alton 1t Is clear that the volume Of
merchandise distributed over the coun-
ters continues to be larger this year
than last
1t goes against current belief to
have it shown in such an authorita-
tive way that actual business is
heavier than year ago-that the
volume Of goods moved is greater.
There Is little support for pessimism
in the figures, or indication Of buy
ers' strike, or Of general distress.

Making Prohibition Obnoxious

The principal feature Of the Vol
stead jr. bill, as 1t is called, meas
ure for stricter enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment, is declara-
tion that beer is not medicine and is
not to be prescribed as such by
physicians.
The medical faculty has long de-
bated the therapeutic value of malt
beverages, some of it's members hold
ing to one view and some to the
other. Now Congress, assuming the
role Of medical supreme court, is to
settle the issue. To be respectful to
it hereafter the national legislature
should be spoken Of as DR.. Congress.
It's members, except for a few, are
innocent Of acquaintance with nt0-
terra medicn, but what they lack in
knowledge they make up in the cour-
age of ignorance.
A foundation is laid for other an
nouncements from time to time as to
what Is medicinal. And when The
Congressional pharmacopnia is COM
plete possibly other matters, of dis
puted scientific fact will be adjudi-
Gated. 1t seems time for the present
to cease gibing at the past by ref
erence to the famous bull against the
comet or to the demand on Calico
to Secant his statement that the
earth moves.
But the new bill offends many pro-
hibitionists for other reasons than
its particular contents. 1t seems to
manifest a spirit which bodies no
good to prohibition. The history Of
sumptuary legislation shows that it
has commonly broken down when
made too severe. When statutes are
piled on statutes resistance, instead
Of being weakened, is strengthened,
and ultimately the whole law is ig-
nored. For long period Massachu-
setts Bay added enactment to enact
ment to establish certain Puritanic
ideals Of conduct. The labor came to
naught. Because of the lawlessness
Of early New England? On the con-
trary, judged in a comparative way,
it was most law-abiding.
With respect to the Eighteenth
Amendment, it is idle to try to end
argument by referring to the sacred
ness Of the law. Practical human
factors must always be taken into
account. Prohibition radicals may
be jealous, but they are poor friends
of the cause they champion. If al
lowed their ungoverned way it is
possible they will create a condition
Of total notification in many areas.

Noisy Amusement Parks

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Almost every day one picks
up the paper to read of some further
curtailment Of liberty in these our
United States.
If the blue law reformers want to
effect reformation which would
meet with the hearty approval of q
large number of level-headed people
they might begin by curtailing the
noise and late hours Of some of the
beach amusement parks adjacent to
New York.
The conditions as existing are hard
enough to endure for six nights in
the week, but the noise goes ON Just a
little more wildly on the seventh till
1850 p. m. and after.
The air is rent by the shouts of the
"hot dog" and peanut venders and
every form Of ear-splitting noise In
cidental to the various electrically
driven amusement devices common to
such places, and all this On the Sab
bath.
In spite Of our loudly extolled
democracy we still have much to learn
from other countries in the matter
of taking our pleasures sanely.

them was her valiant and humane
journey to South Africa at the time
of the Boer War. She worked hard
and unselfishly in many good causes
notably at the Paignton Hospital
during the World War. She had
generous impulses. Perhaps she
never exercised any very profound
influence upon her surroundings. She
did not help. or hinder, the political
circle in which she moved. But there
was no doubt about her moving in
any circle that she touched, q bright,
engaging, thoroughly modern soul,
likable in her mundane successes,
provocative of sympathy when the
fates went against her. She was born
and bred an American. Americans
will read regretfully Of her death,
and they will recall most Of all her
youthful dash, her stanchness in the
days Of Lord Randolph's breakdown,
and her unquenchable pluck.

Canadian Friendliness
e Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l have just returned from a
trip to one of the British Columbia
mining camps and have found copies
of New York City paper giving the
account of Admiral Sims's recent
speech in London. AS a citizen of
New York l want to say that nothing
could have pleased me more than the
manner in which Admiral Sims
handled the Sim Fein propagandists.
l have now been in Canada some
seven weeks, having travelled from
Halifax to Prince Rupert, and every
where l have found the most friendly
and sympathetic attitude toward the
United States--the only shadow teing
regrets expressed by Canadians at the
attempts Of IrishAmericans to en-
hroil our country with Great Britain.
| have done my small bit to advise
these people that the Irish propaganda
in the States is that Of noisy minor
ity and that the majority of Ameri-
cans pay little attention to it.
1t is good that Admiral Sims has
brought the matter to head.

Disease of the Bad Old DaysT

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Attention is called to an article
by Dr.. Joseph L. Miller, of Chicago, Ii
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, dated June IL, 1891, stating
that the cases of knotty liver, which i
premature old age, have decreased. This
was the common cause of death Of alec
holfcs in the bad old days. It wasson'
monty stated that this disease sss
caused in five out of six cases b5
alcohol, which brought on an ssFl!
death. This seems now to have bssn 5
low estimate.
DR.. Miller shows a precipitass %.
crease in Cook County Hospital, CHI
cago. With an average Of LAT eases
for each of seven years previous %
1918, there were only 10 cases Ia issV'
decrease of So per cent. Dr.. hilie'
states that, experimentally. any pois0a
which will destroy the liver cell, susa
as alcohol, chloroform, phosphorus, em.
will produce knotty liver, or "pofsi
cirrhosis," in man, but these figures
show this disease is associated lsrgep
and possibly entirely with the use o
alcohol In this country" x. !. u

American shipbuiIding

A British oil transport company
that formerly placed all its orders
at home found construction SO slow
in England that 1t contracted for six
tankers from American shipyards.
The reason was the postwar paraly-
sis in Britain, coupled with rising
costs, whereas in America shipbuild-
ers had declining costs. The re-
suits nave been so satisfactory, both
as to quality and as to speed of de-
livery, that other orders are likely to
come to America.
Great Britain has long been the
acknowledged leader in ship con-
structlon, but, thanks largely to the
war, American shipbuilders have de-
veioped speed and efficiency in con-
atruction and improvement in design
Tor economical operation. Our wards
says George j. Baldwin, chairman of
.ne American Shipbuilding Corpora
tion, attract the best type of work
men by high wages, give them the
most modern tools to work with and
can now successfully meet the corr
petition of low-wage countries bv the
greater speed, and therefore lowered
unit cost, of production. "The result
is," he states, "that the best Aneri-
can yards can now turn out ships
capable Of the most economical on
Grafton and can deliver them with
promptness which is valuable asset
in the calculations of the owner or
operator"
AS yet, Of course, it can hardly be
said that American postwar ship
building seriously threatens the Eng
lish. But the potential ability to do

Our Reversible Mayor

When is a friend not a friend?
This question, raised at the time the
AntiSaloon League indorsed the Hy-
Ian administrations prohibition ac-
tivities, has at last been answered.
1t will be remembered that when
Mr.. Murphy, of Tammany, was told
of the Anti-Saloon Leagues praise
of the Mayor he shook with laugh
ter. II guess this beats all records" :"
was his comment. But as he and his
aids talked it over it became appar-
ent that the matter might not, after
all, be such a joke---that some of the
unterrified might not be able to un-
derstand why the lid was closed
down.
For month, however, they have
been satisfied to grumble in private.
Now, at last, the Mayor apparently
realizes that there are friends and
friends, and that it is better to dis
appoint new ones than to lose old
ones. So hip pockets, suitcases, bum
dies and cellars are once more sub
ject to search only upon warrant or
in case of lawful arrest.
Some may call this ingratitude to
Brother Anderson, but, after all,
Tammany is the real friend whose
support must be had, and it's braves

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I have just arrived in Boston
after trip in Maine, where there is
plenty of hard liquor, which I don't
care about especially, but no beer or
ale, which I enjoy very much.
purchased copy of to-day's Trib-
une at the local hostelry, and the first

This is the limit, Mr.. Editor, the

shall join the fight against it.
l have realized the harm done by

the iniquity Of minority rule. But If
the constitutional amendment Is to be

Of l per cent of alcohol being used,
on the ground that 1t is intoxicating,
and If the drys are going to keep
these laws on the statute books and
continue to increase taxes to enor-

A Rising Tide

James O. Craig, president Of the
Business Mems Clearing House of
Chicago, remarked the other day
that women stenographers at $35
and $40 week are replacing former
high-priced executives" Almost on
the same day woman won the high
est honors in the study Of law at
Cambridge, England, being at the
head of the law tripos over all the
men; and in Washington woman
presided over the House of Repre-
sentatives for the first time in our
own history. In this year women
made one-fifth Of the tax returns in
New York State. Our courts, pull
pits and departments Of government
are more and more to be in feminine
hands.
In politics women are more prac-
tical and seemingly less sentimental
and partisan than men. In many
communities they are already up
setting old ways and are producing
extremely interesting results.
Our sociologists and political econ
onists and other students may have
to revise their predictions that equal
suffrage would merely double the
vote. There is new psychology at
work. 1t has not yet expressed
itself definitely, for the new voters
have not hastily reached conclu-
sion. But in the end the new in
f1uence will make itself felt, and a
world which in public affairs has
represented masculine ideals will be
profoundly altered.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-30
Disarmament

Instead of resenting or opposing
an expression from Congress con-
cerning disarmament President Har-
ding publicly welcomes it, and thus
ends one insinuation to which he has
been meanly subjected.
It Is, of course, not in the power
of Congress to initiate or to conduct
foreign negotiations But at times
Congress is q representative mass
meeting Of the nation, and its reso-
lutions, although of no binding legal
effect, have value. In the present in
stance it is prudent to have Congress
firmly commit itself to the disarma-
ment principle. This will not only
give the President confidence in
going ahead. but will lessen the dan
ger of the rejection Of any plan he
may recommend.
The Tribune, long recognizing that
some solution Of the armament prob
lem is essential if there is to be any
stabilization Of peace, has greatly
coveted for America the honor of
taking the lead In the calling of
conference. Such action, consonant
with American ideals, is particular
service this country seems best fitted
to perform for the world. President
Harding has refused to hurry. He
has carefully canvassed existing
conditions and In due time he has
spoken.
Disarmament to some degree is
needed not only to lift material bur-
dens, but for deeper reasons--to sat-
isfy q spiritual orld-hunger and to
pay respect to the memory Of those
who perislaed in the Great War. If
it can be said when the conference
adjourns that at last beginning
has been made and the seed of fu-
ture progress planted then the dead
will have an added glory.
But let us beware of trusting too
much to the leadership of pacifist
perfectionists. Such are a pest. 1t
will not be easy to find a common
denomination and even less easy to
arrange varying numerators. The
problem bristles with difficulties.
Germany, though at present nom
inally disarmed, is still menace,
and well-armed Russia openly threat
ems trouble. But with a proper will
way may be found. At least an
effort is we'll worth making.
Rival nations have been cynically
compared to fellow travellers In a
wood, each armed and each sus-
piciously watching the other. The
world is not at one stroke to get rid
of this habit. No good result will
come from Intoxicating ourselves
with vague sentimentalism or from
dwelling solely on what should be.
But it will help much if the two trav-
elers, as result of friendly talk,
each Graws q bullet from his pistol
and throws it away. 1t will mark
the birth Of a new spirit Of trust,
and trust grows and subdues dis
trust when given a chance.

and which was renewed several times,
and either the renewal or continuation
of which now must raise very great
questions indeed.
1 have said world conditions have
altered. Since the treaty was entered
into Russia has disappeared as a trade
power, and Germany also, for the
time being. The position of Japan in
the East has altered completely. She
has a great position now in China,
Siberia, and other parts, too. From
larger point of view also there is no
doubt that since 1902 the friction be-
tween Japan and the western states of
America has also increased, so that
from all these points of view honor
able members will be able to see how
very intricate the whole question is.
Cooperation
What would say In regard to the
renewal of this treaty is that, to my
mind, the paramount consideration
that we ought to keep before us in
the future, and in the very difficult
times lying ahead of the world. Is
that tits essential, so far as possible.
to secure understanding and CO.
operation between the British Empire
and the U. S. A I consider that the
second essential and cardinal principle
Of our foreign policy.
In the first place, as have said, I
consider 1t necessary not to go in for
any policy of antagonism on the Cont
nent of Europe, but for a policy of
peace; and in the second place think,
from world point Of view, the essen
tial policy for the British Empire is to
work with America to secure her CO.
operation, and in that way to 60 for
ward in the very difficult world task
that lies before our government.
Mr.. Beyers: What about the feet
America is building?
General Shuts: One thing am cer-
tain Of is that that feet is not being
built for use against the British En-
pire. There is no doubt in my mind
that, whomeyer she is building it
against, it is not against She British En-
pire or any part of that empire. To my
mind, when I look at the question as
whole, and the interests for which we
stand In the world, 1t seems to me vital
that every effort should be made for us
to keep in touch, sympathy and contact
with the great American Republic.
A great and substantial portion Of
the British Empire adjoins the U. s. A..
and is working in friendly relationship
with those states. From whatever view
point we consider the matter, whether
merely from our interests as an empire
or from the point of view Of European
civilization as a whole, think there is
no doubt we should try and work with
America and remove all grounds for
friction and misunderstanding with her,
and this treaty I regard as subject to
that consideration. agree that no re-
newal should take place unless we can
satisfy America by the form of the
treaty that no harm to her interests
can follow It's renewal.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-30
Lady Randolph Churchill

The Anglo-American celebrity who
has just closed her eyes upon the
London scene, leaves behind her
some piquant memories. Few inter
national marriages have had the
picturesqueness that belonged to
Miss Jerome's marriage to Randolph
Churchill, man of ability as well
as of eccentricity, who was rapidly
making his mark in parliamentary
activity. In marrying him she allied
herself with one of England's great
est political personages and shared
not only in the glamour. that envel-
oped him, but in the actual momen-
tum of his rising fortunes. The best
souvenir of her is a sketch by Sar-
gent, which expresses to the full her
vitalized, ebullient personality. It
was drawn when she was in her
prime, but it shows that if she had
lost her girlishness, she had not lost
the essential spirit of her youth.
That was characteristic of her for
many years, and the fact testifes
incidentally to the vivifying power
of political interests. She had a
good mind and she kept it going.
When Lord Randolph Churchill's
health failed and he made his melan-
choly exit from British public af-
fairs, she went with him and lived
for time in the shadow. But when
she faced the world alone she took
up the political thread where she
had dropped it, and as time went on,
in watching the meteoric progress
of her son Winston, she renewed the
atmosphere in which she had lived
when her husband was on the crest
of the wave. She will not be remem-
bered among the great political
ladies of the Victorian era and of
the shorter reign which Immediately
followed. There is no evidence that
she excelled as talker or had that
gift of gathering potential political
groups which has made the fame of
divers English hostesses. She will
be reckoned, nevertheless, among the
clever women Of her period, one of
the richly colored temperaments
without which London society would
have been deprived of some of it's
charm and distinction.
Once she made memorable excur-
sion into journalism. Her Anglo
Saxon Review was a gallant quar-
terly. 1t was like her to put each
number into new cover, initiating
some historic binding. The Review
was a periodical de luxe if ever
there was one. She printed in it's
pages good deal that was lightly
ephemeral and coed deal of serious
"rlSing by leaders in English letters
and politics. 1t died, ultimately as
such things generally do. The world
is 600 busy to take its magazine
reading on such lordly terms. But it
had' while it persisted, the value of
proudly liberal gesture.
There were other enkindling ges-
lures IN Lady Randolph's spirited
passage through the world. One of
