Labor Keeps Prices Up.
Interest Of the Consumer In the
Clothing Trade Situation.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD; We feel
sure that II other newspapers, not alone
of your city but Of all other large CEN
tres. had followed your course with re-
gard to the clothing workers strike con-
ditions In the clothing industry would
have been very materially benefited
The clothing manufacturers are more
than anxious to deliver a finished prod
uct to the retailer on a basis in proper
ton to present conditions SO that the
retailer in turn can pass the benefits on
to the consumer. But this cannot be
done under present labor conditions.
We are sorry to say that 1t seems that
most of the newspapers have been play
ing to public favor and charging the
and retailers with profit
eering and attempting to elevate the price
instead Of lowering it, which absolutely
was false statement Of the existing
situation. If the labor organizations in
not only the clothing industry but in all
other industries would come forward and
willingly accept the wages In proportion
to present day living cost we feel sure
that this country would see such pros
perity as it has not had in a great
many years. We trust you will con-
tinue along the lines you have been fol-
lowing until conditions become normal
as they should be.

The United States was represented
in yesterdays Derby by The Bohe-
milan, son Of Jim Gaffney. bred in
Kentucky by A. X. MAcoMBER OF Cali
fornia, now racing In France, where
he took over the breeding and racing
establishment Of the late w. K VAN
DERBnr. This colt was taken to
France last fall and early this spring
electrified the French turf world by
running second to a good old horse
in the Prix Boiard and in front Of
the fine performers Sourbrier and
zagreus. He was at once heavily
backed for the Derby, but lost caste
when he was subsequently beaten In
the Prix Printemps.
In all the years Of its history the
Derby has been won once by horse
foaled and owned in this country,

Eight men who received their A.
B. at Columbia College in 1871 were
present at yesterdays notable grad
uation exercises.
The graduates In Arts at Columbia
in 1871 numbered only thirty-three.
So we see practically Is per cent. Of
that class turning up fifty years az
terward, not only alive but full Of
distinction In their various fields Of
activity. The graduates In Arts at
the college this year number about
ten times as many as there were In
1871. Therefore, II the men Of to-
day are keeping up with the pace Of
their grandfathers in longevity and
achievement, we should see at the
Columbia exercises of 1871 about
eighty hale old grads of the class Of
'21, all prominent in life and at
least half Of them famous.
Incidentally, while specializing
upon the future Of the young persons
who received their degrees yesterday.
It Is equally pleasant to wonder how
big Columbia, which has grown ten
fold in nifty years, will be in 1871.

The Maysville Pike.
A Historic Road Travelled by Presl-
dents and Circuses.

To THE New York HERALD: Your edi-
torfal article entitled THE Old Time
Circus Man" called to mind fond recol-
Lotions Of bygone days when the wagon
shows travelled through the country and
tho small boys and girls in the smaller
towns and villages had the privilege Of
seeing a circus several times each sum-
mer. Now the great four ring circus
only stops at larger cities.
Another interesting thing to me was
the mention Of the routing OF the wagon
shows In those days. You say this rout-
ing was often along the old National
Road to Columbus, Ohio. and then to
the Mississippi Valley or to GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, and from there on the Maysville
Pike to Kentucky and the South.
The Maysville Pike was one of the
historic roads of the United States and
extended from Maysville. Kentucky, on
the Ohio River, to Lexington. Kentucky.
Over this road travelled many of the
pioneers who settled Kentucky and
States further south. They came not
only down the Ohio River In hatboats
landing at Maysville. but also travelled
along Zanes Trace from GAINESVILLE, Ohio.

In 1928 my GRANDPA Their. Andrew NJ.
January, rode horseback from Mays
vile to Lexington and raised enough
money TO have n survey made for a
turnpike. This survey was made and
the Maysville and Lexington turnpike
was built, the first rracadamized road
west of the Allegheny Mountains This
was a famous road before the coming of
the railroads. Two Presidents of the
United ste tes--Andrew Jackson and
James X. Polk--travelled over this rcad
to Washington.

the creation of an artist whose ex-
uberance of enthusiasm for the extern
sion of the American merchant ma
rine produced 4 temporary inatten-
ton to the ac/al composition of Old
Glory. In the spirited banner he set
before the public he erred on the side
of a too generous development of
bunting.
The mistake was recognized imme-
diately in the Shipping Board with a
very vigorous objection to the over
striped advertisement, and the nine
teen stripe flag was replaced by one
Of thirteen stripes. All concerned in
this incident may take comfort In
one detail thereof: nobody on earth
was for a moment In doubt about
what national standard was por-
trayed IN the advertisement.

The tabulatfon of New York income
tax payers by groups indicates that in
this State for 1919, as for 1918, there
were forty persons with individual
taxable incomes Of $1,000,000 a year
or more. In the whole country for
1918 the number was sixty-seven.
Perhaps this high water mark was
the same for 1919.
Sixty-seven individual incomes of
81 100000 or more make huge total.
They would foot up together not less
than $67,000,000; they might go as
high as s100.000,000. But It was
Rothschild who said in the French
Revolution to a committee coming to
inform him they had decided to d.
vide his fortune among the people.
well, gentlemen, 1t will not buy a
bottle of poor wine apiece for YOU"
All the taxable million dollar in
comes put together in this country
might divide among all the inhabi-
tants of the country at no more than
IS or 70 cents apiece. An outside fig
ure would be dollar hill apiece. That
would not put anybody in Easy Street
for even a half holiday afternoon.
But II those incomes, instead of
going into their accustomed chan
nels-investments that make work
and wages for more people, hospitals
that care for the sick, charities that
help the down and out, pay Of those
in the employ Of the possessors of the
big incomes-if the million dollar
incomes were scattered broadcast,
dollar bill for every person in the
land, the economic shock that would
follow might be like an earthquake,
the injury that could be done to the
whole public might last for many
year.
What the people of this nation can
earn by their own work Is of greater
money power thousandfold. and
Of more national and international
benefit intellectually. than what the
colossal incomes could mean to them
divided among the one hundred mill
ion of our population with practi-
cally nothing going to each.

In winning the EPSON Derby at
Newmarket yesterday Humorist, by
Polymelus, ran true 70 the promise
his breeding would indicate and
added one more laurel to the breed
ing and racing establishment of J.
B. JOEL, the South African capital
list whose success through the me-
dunn OF the stations Polymelus and
Sunstar has been sensational.
That Jest, the dam of Humorist,
was a winner of the FLY classics, the
One Thousand Guineas and the Oaks,
should be borne in mind by breed
ers OF thoroughbreds everywhere, as
II is fresh evidence Of the theory
that like produces like. Back of Jest
was Absurdity, by Melton, which
threw Black Jester and Absurd,
classic winners, and still more re-
mote In the maternal line was Ich-
bonny, by Sterling, the dam Of Para
dox, winner OF the Two Thousand
Guineas. The second and third horses
in yesterdays race were sired by
winners of the Derby. These facts
supply arguments that blood will tell
which are hard to combat. The fact
that Humorist was TESTS first living
foal should encourage those with
mares of good blood not TO become
discouraged when periods Of sterility
are encountered. It is only one more
phase. of the romance of blood stock
production.
Humorist was good two-year-old,
winning the Woodcote. Buckenham
and Clearwell stakes and running
second in the Champagne Stakes and
Middle Park Plate. but somehow there
was a belief. despite his rich breed
ing. that he would not fancy the
Derby route OF a mile and q half.
When Craig an Fran, by Sunstar,
won the Two Thousand Guineas for
Viscount AsToR and Lemonora, by
Lemberg, took the Newmarket Stakes,
Humorist lost supporters. That he
vanquished both these good three
year-olds is proof of his quality.

The man who said the guinea hen
was the poor mans alarm clock did
not do justice to the merits of this
delicious fowl, which Is now coming
to occupy its proper place among the
finest Of our domestic birds.
OF all the products of the farm
yard 1t is among the easiest to rear,
and the fact that 1t will forage for
itself almost from the time Of hatch
ing makes 1t popular with those who
are willing to overlook its faculty
for saluting the coming Of the sun
with first class imitation Of some
body filing saw. Were 1t not for
the harsh, piercing notes uttered by
guinea fowl they would be raised in
greater numbers, for there Is keen
demand for the birds among all who
know their astronomical merits.
None of our barnyard fowl ap-
proach them in gamy quality. Dogs
will stand them in the same fashion
as quail or grouse, and in regions
where they have been permitted to
revert to their former type they are
wild and furnish splendid sport. In
Cuba there are thousands of them in
the Province Of Havana within
twenty miles of the city Of the same
name, while in the Province Of
Oriente, where they have an ideal
country In which to propagate, they
are found in large flocks. They are
treated as game birds and hunted in
the same fashion as the delightful
little Cuban quail, which Is about
half as large as the American bird
of the same family.
Poultry specialists Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have so much
to say in praise Of the guinea fowl
that the species ought to make new
friends, especially II some genius
should evolve a plan to extract the
strident matutinal call.

in the past was one Of the support

drawn from the Jugo-Slav Parlia-
ment, according to advices from
Agram, the capital Of Croatia, re-
ceived by this paper. The reason
assigned for this acton Is that they

Hungarian propaganda, which. has
very shrewdly pictured the Croats as
the flower of the Serb race, and has

Loss of the Esperanto.

The Esperanto, Gloucester's crack
fishing schooner which won the Hall
fax Herdld's North Atlantic Fisher
mems International Trophy last fall
in two stirring races with the able
Lunenburg schooner Delawanna, lies
on the bottom of the ocean off Sable
Island, where she sank Monday morn
ing, May 81, after striking sub
merged wreck. When this accident
befell her the Esperanto was not cap
tanned by MARTY WELSH, who sailed
her to victory in October and Novem-
Der. Captain Tom BENHAM was In
command when she went down. The
people Of Halifax. who acclaimed the
Esperanto as the winner OF the race
as generously as they could have vel
coined the Delawanna across the fin
fish line first, have opened their hearts
and homes to the crew of the lost
ship, who were rescued from their
dories by the Gloucesterman Elsie
and landed yesterday.
There was no loss Of life in this
misadventure, for which all will be
thankful, but the material and senti-
mental loss is heavy. Able fishing
schooners-the Esperanto was not
designed or built for racing but to
meet the hard requirements OF pro-
fessional fishing-are not to be re-
placed in a minute. Cup winning
boats are not ranked in popular re-
gard as mere machines. A vessel has
personality; 1t impresses the public
as something more than fabric of
wood and steel. 1t reaches the heart
as well as the mind of man. The
racing motor car which wins the Van
derbilt Cup may hold the affection OF
builder, driver, mechanics; It does
not win that Of the people. But a
boat grips the imagination and pos
sesses an individuality that endures.
If the Esperanto had to go 1t is
lucky she carried none Of her COM
plement of fishermen with her, and
that she went down in the way Of
business seals the success Of WILLIAM
H. DENNIS in his efforts to make the
race for the Halifax Herdlds trophy
a race between working vessels and
not a contest between out and out
racing machines.

The Ranger.

From the Montreal Daily Star.
I've heard the winds at shutdown sweep
On q lonesome stretch of trail,
AS trekked along through the silence
deep
In n Wild Alaskan vale:
And heard the wolf howl cut the gloom
BY the wings of the night wind famed
From a ridge of pine where the foot
hills loom
Ger a moon washed belt of sand.
I've seen the sky line fade from sight
Ger leagues of sage and stone.
And heard the geese in rapid flight
Cleave on from zone to zone.
I've seen the stars on cactus CLEAN,
And heard the night birds cry,
Or camped by some cool starlit stream
And watched the embers die.
Thank God, for me no puny pen
Nor sitting walls of stone,
But an open road. red FLOODED men,
And a soul to call my own.
