To Be Remembered

TO be remembered are these
things:
!. This years municipal contest is
but part of century-oid struggle to
free New York of deeply rooted
disease Tammany is always Tam
many-an organized appetite, which
repr sents, and always has repre-
sented, conspiracy of the few
against the many. 1t is unreform-
able. During its long history it has
never been identified with a single
measure of public advantage.
Scotched, it has never been killed.
We grapple but once again with an
ancient foe.
2. The bad Tanmany of the past
has developed into the worse Tam
many of the present; for to Tam
manyisn1 has been added Hearstism.
Tammany is now not merely selfish.
To retain power it has drif,ed into
relying on the stimulation of class
anirnosities. Hearstism means the
demagogic exploitation of natural
human weaknesses and suspicious
for the ben fit of the exploiters. To
vicious practices thus is added a new
vicious principle.
8. Hylanism, which now expresses
Tammanyism and Hearstism, is
something that need create no sur
prise, in view of the forces behind it.
To smite it is the duty of the hour,
but a greater duty is to make it
clear this community is forever
through with the sort of government
that it embod;es. The voters of the
city should look deeper than the rec
ord of the Hylan administration,
black as it is, and set their faces
against the further deliberate degra-
dation Of men and women.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-06

constructive plan for the abatement
OF the narcotic evil was evolved. But
all that was brought to naught
through the course Of the Board of
Health of this city. Under it's sys-
tenn, as "The Bulletin of the New
York Medical Association" saws, "for
the first time in medical history the
victims of disease awaiting medi-
cal treatment we're made the objects
OF public exposure to sightseeing &C.
cupants of runber-neck wagons for
their callous inspection. All this"
adds "The Bulletin" "has been held
on the best legal authority to be un-
lawful, yet it was allowed to pro-
ceed unchecked by the city govern
ment."
No wonder "The Bulletin of the
New York Medical Association" de-
clares that "only by the election of
Henry H. Curran as Mayor over
John F. Hylan can we bring this
problem to his attention for solu-
elon. The open-mindednes the in
telligence and the honesty of pur-
pose of Henry H. Curran eminently
Mt him to undo the evil vicariously
inflicted by Mayor Hylan in his ad-
mlnlstration of the New York CITY
Department Of Health"

An Intolerant Crowd

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For number of years past ny
friend Edward A. Packer, public
spirited citizen, now over seventy years
OF age, an accomplished speaker OF un-
failing courtesy, has been accustomed
from time to time to speak on prohibi-
tion in Wall Street.
He had never been molested until a
few. days ago, when certain rowdies.
perhaps encouraged by his years and
being fortified by their numbers, broke
up his meeting and compelled him to
leave the street.
1t was rather disgracefnl affair,
happening almost under the shadow OF
the statue of Washington and en- q
street whose occupants should be the
foremost supporters of law and order,
and particularly as Mr.. Packers talk
was in support of a part of the Con-
stitution Of the United States, approved
by great majority of the states, as

King Canute Up to Date

Those who bow at the throne of
the moving picture king will be
filled with a vague alarm at this
news OF his having to take out snow

ment if Mother Nature fails to obev

snow storm SO difficult a thing to
achieve?
A real one, yes. Any amateur
can produce gusts of famed air
and clouds of torn >paper, but the
greatest genius that ever filmed
melodrama cannot manufacture the
tiny crystal stars that make a snow

New-York tribune., 1921-11-06
Buttresses of Peace

'SThe London Spectator" which for
long time specialized on belittle-
ment of everything American, now
holds that to make the Washington
conference success it is essential to
bring together the two great world
powers which use a common speech
and whose political institutions are
founded on common principles.
Most Americans, if there are to be
special understandings, would have
them triple instead of dual-would
include France. Many would add
Italy and other nations which have
shown by self-sacrifcing conduct
that they merit confidence. Many
would give welcome to Japan, pro-
vided Japan expels from her nation
al thought all selfish idea of becom-
ing through force the Lord of the
Far East. Moreover, it is American
psychology to prefer, touching the
manner of union, adhesions to princi-
pies rather than entry into ententes,
even though the ententes merely
concretely apply the principles ia
.vored. 1t has been the practice of
our State Department to write
identic notes rather than sign joint
ones.
But now some sort Of community
Of action between America and the
British Empire is needed to secure
peace and disarmament. Other things
may be lacking and still chance re-
main of restraining war, but what
chance is there with latent hostility
between America and the British
Empire? If any one thing is to be
put first an understanding between
the two peoples is that one thing.
Thomas Jefferson, who penned the
document which proclaimed national
severance, later wrote that an open
association with Great Britain would
provide not only the best assurance
IF our own safety bAt OF all thin'rs
New-York tribune., 1921-11-06

would most conduce to the spread of
liberty everywhere. That passing
years have not made the counsel
archaic was attested the other day
by President Harding, who, at
Yorl town, in effect repeated the
word Of jefferson.
Fo long time, cherishing the
memo y of collisions best forgot or
remembered merely as history, the
two English-speaking peoples child
ishly made faces at one another.
But thirty years ago, when the
Venezuela controversy fared up, the
British government, under Salisbury,
! apparently reached the conclusion
that it had been foolish long enough.
Since then the doctrine that Ameri-
cans are cousins, even brothers, has
been cult in Great Britain. History
discloses few equal examples of per-
sistent wooing Of one people by an
other; but behind was more than a
desire to flatter and to make use of
America. The courtship was based on
solid sense and perception of mutu-
ality of interest. In the Near East
Salisbury backed the wrong horse,
as he confessed, but he had better
luck to the west. The sensible i'm
provement in British-American rela-
tions, which was due to British in
itiative, stiffened the British line in
northwestern France when it almost
cracked.
A reunion of the war-winning but
peace-loving nations, with America
and the British Empire the two but
tresses of the arch of peace, does not
menace other states. 1t does not
mean joint bullying Of the uni
verse. Rather it means the expan-
sion of international law and new
insurance against an upsetting Of
the worlds equipoise by foolishly
ambitious states.
That righteousness must be linked
with power was a sound Roosevelt
doctrine. China's intentions are
good, but she is a liability rather
than an asset in the worlds balance
sheet. Craftsmanship must not only
consider where righteousness re-
sides, but where there is power. Ex-
cept the twain be linked, any scheme
of world association is vain. Special
responsibility rests on the two Eng
lish-speaking peoples. With them
united good things can be added !;
with them divided why talk of dis
armament?
So to the aspiration of "The Lon
don Spectator" Americans may we'll
say "Amen." Those who would fan
old discords are friends neither Of
America nor of general peace.
