scene OF the greatest of the Breton

Nearer in the foreground is the
little town of the Auray, where the
bones of the emigres who died at
Quiberon were piously collected and
buried beneath a chapelle expiatoire
when the Bourbons returned to the
throne of France. On the mainland
coast and in clear view from Belle
Isle lies the great Carnac field OF
megolithic remains, monuments of a
prehistoric race, the mysteries OF
which scientists have vainly sought
for centuries to solve.
With all OF its sombreness. its
tragedies, its gray traditions and leg
ends, this was always land which
the Divine SARAH loved and which
strongly appealed to her. But the
world joins with France in hoping
that she may live many years yet in
its full enjoyment.

Tanmany Retreats.

Tammany tried to destroy the sci
entiflcally prepared city budget by
eliminating from it specific appro-
priations and substituting for them
lump sum appropriations. In its ar
rogance Tammany believed that the
people Of New York city did not care
how the budget was made up or
whether the expenditure of the tax
payers money was reasonably pro-
tected against politicians and their
creatures.
But when the taxpayers learned
that Tammany had destroyed the in
telligently worked out budget sys-
tenn it inherited from the Mitchell
administration they acted with a
force that shook even Tammany's
self-confidence. Tammany ran to
cover, dropping the lump sum ap-
preparations as it ran and restoring
the itemized accounts from which
it wants to be free.
THE New YORK HERALD Is glad to
have had a part in teaching Tam
many that New York is not neglect
full Of the safeguards erected to pro-
tect the taxpayers from exploitation
by Tammany. 1t was late in the
budget making period when this as.
sault on good government was dis
closed, but 1t was not too late to
repulse the assailants, as Tammany
hoped would be the case.

Gloucester's Challenger.

That Gloucester fishermen are
ready to challenge for the Fisher.
mans international Trophy, won by
the Canadian Bluenose last week, is
shown by the fact that on October 81
three shippers of the old Massachu-
setts fishing town announced their
intention to build a schooner to race
for the trophy in 1922.
The three men who have SUBJ
scribed money to build a challenger
are Captain JEFFERY THOMAS, Cap
tain BENJAMIN PINE and Captain
ROBERT WHARTON. They plan to have
a schooner 1877 feet over all and
los feet on the water line, boat just
about midway in size between Blue
nose and Elsie Of the 1921 contest.
She is to be called Puritan and is to
be sailed by Captain THOMAS, who
hopes to have the new boat fishing
commercially for halibut by March.
This would prevent any question,
such as arose this year with the
Mayfiower, as to the eligibility Of
the American challenger.
The last famous Puritan was the
Americas Cup defender Of 1885,
which brought EDWARD BURGESS into
worldwide fame. She handily de-
feated Genesta. Such combination
ought to bring Captain JEFrEgY
THOMAS and his companions the best
of good luck.

after the singing of "Rock Of Ages
and every man jack of us sang, too---and
the benediction, Parson Uzzell took up
collection and went to his hotel and
to bed.
The Brainard House was run by the
father of Clint Brainard. Clint. since
risen to be head of the ancient house Of
Harper & Brothers, was then night and
day clerk, and 1t was he who saw that
the good parson was shown to his room.
and It was he, unless I am much mis-
taken, who afterward pointed out to
Joe Palmer where the room was.
However,
When the services were over and the
games had been resumed somebody Won
dered how much the collection amounted
to. IT don't KNOW" said Masterson, "but
it wasn't enough, whatever 1t was"
Lets double it," suggested Soapy
Smith. and then. after somebody had
asked how we could double it If we didn't
know how much to double. Soap said that
he could find way to discover the
amount necessary. II saw him put the
roll in his pants pocket he said. "All
we got to do is to steal his pants and
count the money"
It took some time and there had been
about six rounds bought before it was
finally decided that Joe Palmer be ap-
pointed chief burglar. Joe accepted grace
fully and set out for the Brainard House
A half hour later he came back bearing
Parson Uzzells trousers. In the pocket
we found the money which had gone into
the collection. 1t amounted to s340.
'Thats all right" said Mart Watrous. "I
guess we can double that and then some.
but we got to get his breeches back to
him. Maybe he only has one pair. and
how in hell is a parson goin' to travel
up to Denver on Colonel Hooper's rail-
road without any pants? 1t amt right"
WELL" said Joe Palmer, Tets take UP
the other collection and I'll get his pants
back In his room"
mo-" put in Masterson. "that'd spoil
the fun of the game. The parsons got
to think he's been robbed. Take his
pants back and we'll hear him holler in
the morning"
So the breeches OF the parson were
returned to his room and the holler that
Masterson had vrophesied came about
first drink time Monday morning. Par
son Uzzell was grievcd. He was sur
prised. He had heard. he said. Of the
wickedness Of mining camps, but he did
not dream of such sin AMI iniquity as
that which would allow the stealing Of
a collection fund from a minister Of
the Gospel.
Then Bat Masterson spoke. "Parson,'
he said, 1--WE can't tell you how much
we enjoyea your sermon last night. 1t
did us all lot of good. 1t did us so
much good that we didn't think we had
given you enough in the collection you
took up. We knew It wasn't half enough.
We didn't know how much IL was and
the only way to find out was to burgle
your pants. which Joe Palmer and the
rest of us did good and proper. We
counted up what you had in your pock-
cts and doubled 1t and made IL up to
$700 even. Here IL is.''
SO that's the way the Peoples Church
of Denver got ot-s700 for its work of grace
and Parson Tom Uzzcll achieved merit

Harbor Fog.

Out in the mist the sirens scream,
From hulls that loom across and seem
To lift their structure to the skies,
Then vanish swiftly down the stream.
The ferry whistles constant call
Comes to us as they creep and crawl,
Across the Hudson's crowded tide.
Screened by the drifting misty wall.
Wastes unexplored lie past the pier,
White provinces where phantoms sheer
With haunting blasts that fade afar.
Together with the ghostly gear.
A sullen silence shrouds the port
Pierced only where the crafts exhort
For passage through the fog portieres
The sudden scream and swift retort.

that they have solved nil the riddles of

The District Attorneys Office.

In a statement issued last Friday
JoAB H. BANToN, Acting District At
torney and Tammany candidate for
District Attorney, says: "The staff
OF my Office has been reorganized and
"a spirit of cooperation and fairness
established" If this is not repudi
alton by Mr.. .BANToN of the admins
tration of his superior. Mr.. SWAMI,
and a confession Of the depths tc
which the District Attorneys Office
fell under Tammany rule, then it is
hard to say what it is.
No matter what Mr.. BAyToN may
say or think about reorganizing the
District Attorneys Office. everybody
who knows Tammany Hall knows
that the Office will never have a real
housecleaning under Tammany Dis
trict Attorney; and that is what Mr.
SWAMI was and what Mr.. BANToN is
trying to be.
There is only one way to restore
public confidence in the District At.
torney's office. and that is to elect
JOHN KIRKLAND CLARK District Attor.
ney at next weeks election.
Mr.. CLARK's record is too well
known to require any further testi
mony to his fitness for the big job in
the Criminal Courts Building. And
Mr.. CLARK, realizing that the voters
wish to know not only what kind OF
man they are asked to vote for but
what he intends to do if elected, has
made very definite programme for
the rehabilitation of the District At.
torney's office. Mr.. CLABK's pledges
may be epitomized as follows:
To run the District Attorneys Office
as real criminal law office-the
largest one in the world.
To seek indictments only as pre-
liminary to convictions; prosecution
without persecution; no "indictina
and forgetting"
To give speedy trial to the accused
and to clear the trial calendar.
To cooperate in the assignment OF
counsel to needy defendants.
To prosecute aggressively reckless
automobile drivers.
To reduce juvenile delinquency.
To proceed against profiteers In
rents, food and other necessaries.
To develop the police branch of the
office SO that there will be no more
scandals like the Elwell case.
To work for the prevention of
crime as we'll as for the prosecution
of the criminal.
This constructive programme,
which tells at once what the criminal
law Office of New York county should
have but has not had, ought to appeal
to every citizen, regardless of his DO
litical Affiliations.
Electing JOHN KIRKLAND CLARK
means putting life in the District At
torney's office.

agreed is that exports from pauper
labor or debased exchange countries
shall pay us the same duty in dollars
and cents on given article landed
here at given time as exports from
dear labor and high exchange coun-
tries pay us. Mr.. FoRDNEY's example
follows:
To-day on a $1,000 worth of goods
Iherel from Canada the duty is
double in amount what would be coll
lected on the same goods in quantity
and quality from the Orient. The
American valuation plan when put
into effect viii compel Japan to pay
exactly the same amount OF duty on
the same quantity OF goods that Can
ada pays regardless of their cost
of production"
The American people. after rea-
sonable protection of their own in
dustries, are not going to object to
this square deal treatment of Canada
which has become in normal condi-
tions our second best customer in the
whole world. They are not going to
object to this square deal treatment
Of Great Britain, our first customer
in the whole world. Either there
will have to be general substitution
of the rigid specific duties OF the
present system for the ad valorem
duties or there win have to be the
more flexible American valuation
system.
