reasonable and considerably under

Referring to the contracts the
mayor Friday night said:
4"When the estimates were made
for these sewers probably some al

A Naval Reunio8.

dinner given Friday night by Amer

miral Beatty Of England and his STAFF.
The hosts on this occasion were In the
naval service during the war under
Admiral Beatty's command. Thus the
dinner represented the joint naval
work Of Great Britain and the United
States in which the most effective CO.
operation was had.
The American naval forces In the
war were held to a comparatively
routine duty, yet it was Of the utmost
importance. The British navy had
been from the beginning carrying the
chief burden on the seas, with most
effective cooperation by the French.

almost decisive But the war afmos-
pherc does not last forever. ana the
case against Geneva today Is unde-
niably strong.
Cost of living in itself is not q de-
termining factor, though a secre-
tariat from which consistently eni-
cient work is expected ought not to
be harassed, as far too many men,
bers of the staff at the Palais de Ma
tions are, by the problem Of how to
suhsist on q salary that to any one
unacuuainted with Geneva conditions
would be regarded as generous. What
is really wrong with Geneva is that
it is a dead end, and a dead end is tie
one place in the world where the
league headquarters ought not to be.
1t is on the road to nowhere. The
Paris train gets to the Cornayin sta
tion in the morning and stops. 1t sits
there all day and starts back at
night. The league at Geneva is in 3
backwater. If 1t wants to work in
peace it is in the right place. II ii
wants to keep in touch with the life
OF the world IL has to get out OF
Geneva to do it.
answer to 1t is not quite easily found.
The special commission that investi-
gated the working of the secretariat
a few weeks ago did suggest a mi
grafton, and among the goals pro-
posed have been Vienna, Brussels and
some center In France, such as Fon-
tainebleu or Versailles. Whatever ar
guments there are for French home
for the league, 1t is pretty generally
against 1t. At any rate. the two pro-
posals that may be regarded as prac-
tical politics today are a move to

The Poetic Impulse.

The Star regrets that its limitations
Of space will not permit the puhlica.
ton Of all Of the worthy poetical
writings inspired by the opening Of
the arms conference and the burial
Of the unknown American soldier that
it has received during the past few
days. These poems have come In all
forms and meters and styles. They
have presented every conceivable as.
poet of the thoughts connected with
these two occasi0ns. Some have come
from those who were bereaved by the
war. Some have come from sincere
friends and advocates Of universal
peace. All have breathed the spirit of
patriotism. II they could all be pub
lished they would demonstrate a re.
marhably wide range Of feeling. and,
moreover, q marked capacity for. lit
erary expression.
On prior occasions when the public
emotions have been stirred these
poetic contributions have been nu-
merous, but perhaps never before has
the volume been so great as at pres
ent. The war itself stirred people
deeply and evoked their innermost
thoughts in strange and unusual
forms. Men and women were moved
by the great tragedy overseas to
write who previously had never at
tempted more than the ordinary COM
position of correspondence.
These Armistice day and arms con-
ference poems are precious bits OF
popular feeling. Those who have
wrttten them may feel disappointed
At their failure to have them printed.
Possibly in their judgment those that
have been selected are less worthy
than their own. But they may be COM
forted and encouraged by the assur'
ance that though not found available
for publication. though denied print
through lack Of room in these days OF
crowding news. they are already bene'
flied BY the mere writing OF these
verses, and they should continue to
write regardless Of a printed outlet
For the greatest reward Of the poet Is
after all the feeling that he has ex-
uressed himself in worthy phrase.

The Virginia Experiment.

The republicans Of Virginia tried an
experiment last Tuesday, and it failed
signally. viii they try it again? Or
will It be tried in any other southern
state where political conditions are
similar to those in the Old Dominion?
White republicans Of the south have
long been told that the colored men
were a drag on them. and caused the
failure to establish the party in con-
troll there. And SO they were advised
to divorce themselves from the colored
contingent. and make their appeal on
business issues. The south, they were
assured, was at heart republican on
those issues, and such an appeal,
properly couched. would win.
The Virginia whites acted on this
advice this year. They held a conven-
ton composed exclusively Of white
men and so advertised their separa.
ton from the colored portion Of the
electorate, nominated q state ticket
composed exclusively Of white men.
cut out altogether what is called poll.
tics, and in their campaign stressed
business, promising if successful to
give the state a better business ad-
ministration than it had ever enjoyed
under democratic auspices.
Their candidate for governor
stumped the state. everywhere pro.
claiming the new evangel. Being an
able man Of high standing, he had at.
tention. The result? A record demo.
cratic majority. The colored voters in
thousands cut the republican ticket,
while those democrats supposed to be
awaiting an inducement and opportu.
nifty to change sides voted the demo
cratic ticket as usual.
It is idle to say, as some are saying,
that the Presidents Birmingham
speech, coming in the thick of the
campaign and pitched in the key Of
friendship for the colored citizens, did
the business. Virginia would have
gone democratic If the President had
never left Washington, or opened his
mouth on the subject Of political
equality before the law.

There is in that ancient and modern

be turned into a lesson in fire preven'

Politics at Home
Leader Murphy and the Shelf.


A little while ago q prediction cir.
culated that Charles F. Murphy's re.
tirement from the leadership of Tam.
many Hall was near. He was making
hts last campaign In that Office. II he
WON'T Hylan was re-elected-he
would bow out gracefully while in full
feather. If he lost-if Hylan was de-
feated-he would have to go. His
|enemies in the organization would rise
up and overwhelm him.
Well. Mr.. Murphy won. His latest
campaign proves to have been a
corker. His candidate for mayor
achieved, largely through his leader
ship. smashing victory. and Tam
many comes into full control Of the
town. Is it likely that Mr.. Murphy
will improve the occasion to surrender
his power to another?
He is not an old man. as politicians
are reckoned. He is not a poor man.
He can afford politics. Why then the
shelf? Why. while still in health and
vigor and comfortably "heeled," give
over the excitement Of active life for
the ennui Of the mere observer?
And then 1924 is only two years
away. Can Mr.. Murphy be reasonably
imagined as Indifferent to what that
year suggests? Has he forgotten Tam
many's past appearances at national
conventions, when 1t was the central
figure of wild and whfrling time?
Has he lost taste for that sort Of
thing?
Tammany Just now-that is to say,
Leader Murphy-is probably figuring
on a second victory next year, and in
stalling at Albany a governor pledged
to the halls interests. Then the nam
ing Of delegation, Mr.. Murphy lead.
ing, to the next democratic national
lconvention. and maneuvering in that
body in the ballotings for the presi-
dental nomination.
Will Mr.. Murphy retire at this time.
or soon, with these things in prospect?
Nothing appears less likely. Rather
may he be expected to tighten his
grip on the situation, and, in the next
two years, play politics more vigor-
ously than ever, and with the largest
stakes inspiring him. 1t is not time
for disappearing.
