SATURDAY. OCTOBER Is, 1921.
The Last Chance.

To-day the men and women Of New
York city who possess the qualifica-
tions of electors have their last op-
portunity to register for the general
election on November 8.
From Z o'clock this morning until
1890 o'clock in the evening the elec-
ton officers will be In uninterrupted
session in every election district in
the city to add names to the poll
list.
The man or woman who wants
clean, efficient, economical govern
ment of New York city but fails to
register betrays the cause OF honest
citizenship and contributes to the
strength of the Hylan ticket.
The man or woman who registers
and besides registering sees that all
his or her friends register does a
citizens full duty.
Not only will those who neglect to
register this week lose the privilege
of voting against Tammany Hall this
fall but they will be deprived Of any
part in the primaries Of 1922. Thus
they will have no voice in the elec-
tion of party delegates and commit
teemen. They will be ciphers in the
selection of candidates, no matter
how .ardently they may wish to make
their influence felt.
When the registration places close
this evening opportunity as ample
as can reasonably be expected will
have been given to all qualified citi-
zens to register. Those who, having
had good health and not having been
cnavoidably absent from the city, are
not on the list will have only them
selves to blame for their plight.

Why So Many Marry.

The Washington statisticians are
popeyed over the large number of
marriages this year. Some Of them
believe that the number may reach
1 100000 by New Years. The phi
losophers of the Government bureaus
say they don't understand the great
rush for the yoke. This country lost
few men during the war and this Is
a period of defiation. therefore the
wise men cannot find a social >or
economic solution Of the puzzle. The
trouble with the statistician-philoso-
rhers is that they look tpo far. They
should inspect the simple. homely
things Of life.
For example, there are the motion
pictures. John has been taking
Gladys to see them every week for
a couple Of years. He is chaplined.
fairbanksed and harted to death.
How can he sidestep? Well. he has
heard that one of the prerogatives
Of married men is to refuse, on the
mere ground Of weariness, to go to
the theatre. So he proposes.
There is the motor car. Few sim
gle men buy passenger cars. They
have no excuse, no home with a
garage, no patient companion to
listen to longwinded discourses on
carbureter diseases. 1t is not proper
t. take tiancee on a week end trip
without the family accompaniment.
The yearning for car results in the
buying, first, Of single cylinder
diamond.
There is prohibition. The passing
Of the saloon has brought void into
the lives Of some young men. There
is no place to go to find an argu-
ment. The thought Of marrying, of
having somebody who will talk back,
Of being the lord of a house-pos-
sibly with a cellar-occurs to the
lonely wretch. He speaks the three
or four necessary words: she mur-
murs one.
Nnally-and the 'graybeards in
Washington ought to see them
there are the girls. Each year.
as miserable man becomes uglier,
woman grows more divine The
wonder is that the wedding ring
makers are not running their facto-
ries on the three shift plan.

Sing Sing for Tighe.

1t must have been a qualification
to the overwhelming majority OF po-
licemen-honorable and humane men
and a shock to the rowdy element
in the Police Department when it
heard yesterday that TIGHE, erst-
while acting detective sergeant, had
been sentenced to two or more years
in Sing Sing.
The Tighe incident was the most
fragrant of a large number of police
outrages that occurred in midsum-
mer. TIGHE, while on a so-called
raid in search of gamblers, assaulted
innocent persons.
Judge GRAIN of General Sessions,
in sentencing TIGHE, very properly
commented that the majority Of po-
licemen are brave and faithful men.
The stern punishment inflicted by the
Judge was a warning to the compare
lively small number Of policemen
who are of brutal character and un-
mindful of the rights of citizens.
TIGHE is Off the police force, as he
should have been long ago. He had
been found guilty of intoxication and
assault as patrolman, yet he was
permitted to remain in the depart
rlent and was even promoted to the
detail Of acting detective sergeant, a
post which demands clean cut men.
There are plenty Of these on the
New York police force.
The Tighe case should be whole
some bracer.

Fashion and the Land.

It seems that fashion and real es-
tate are Just as closely related In
country regions as they are on the
crowded rock of Manhattan Island.
1t Is familiar phenomenon Of met
ropolitan existence for prices of prop
erty to advance and fall as the prog
ress of fashion changes from one d.
rection to another. Now the figures
in Sutton place shoot upward, then
the blocks adjacent to Fifth avenue
increase in value. 1t is fashion that
determines these variations-fashion
in business quarters or fashion in
residential sections.
From the countryside there come
similar reports. The town which at
one time was the most modish sea-
shore resort Of the eastern coast
loses the favor of the fashionable
world in spite of the accumulated
capital invested in it's really monu-
mental parks and villas. Real estate
prices drop; one is surprised to hear
of the bargains to be had as one
piece of property after another is
put up at auction. A mountain vii
lage Of historic association and gen.
uine natural beauty ceases to attract
wealthy residents of cities scattered
from one end OF the country to the
other. Naturally its homes and plan
tations come gradually into the mar
ket. There is of course surprise at
the discrepancy between the prices
they bring to-day and those they
brought few years ago. Fashion
has departed and so has much of the
commercial value OF these beautiful
homes, which nevertheless have lost
no part Of their attractiveness.
There are OF course conservative
dwellers in such towns who refuse
TO allow their allegiance to the place
OF their choice to be shattered by
these changes. They remain the pill
lars of the summer communities to
which they are loyal. They do not
sell out and move TO Long island
merely because other dwellers In
Westchester, for instance, have felt
the call to follow some leader who
mas set the fashion.
other reasons serve to put on the
market notable estates In every coun.
try community. Architects have been
saying in recent years that only in
the United States were large country
\ houses being built. Yet such homes
we're more appropriate in other coun.
tries than here. In communities

Japanese in Corea.

That Japan effected a peaceful
penetration" of Corea and that the
Coreans did not oppose the "benev-
olent despotism" which resulted have
been in a measure accepted as facts
by the world. The principal reason
perhaps for this arises from the fact
that the reports and comments upon
conditions in Corea come largely from
the Japanese themselves. They have
opened schools, built railway the
length of the land, taught modern
agricultural methods and introduced
sanitary regulations for the improve
ment of health conditions in the
cities and larger towns. These are
accomplishments to which the MI
kado's Government has pointed as
evidences of the excellence of its
rule and it's unqualified acceptance
by the Coreans.
A staff correspondent Of THE New
voRK HERALD has devoted some time
to diligent though discreet inves-
tigation into conditions in Corea,
and he reveals some peculiarly inter
esting information upon the situa-
tion. He succinctly states this when
he says that the Japanese Govern
ment has forcibly Japanned almost
everything in Corea except the Co
reans."
BY process Of education Japan
Is making the Official language of the
country japanese instead Of Corean,
II Is endeavoring to destroy the art
and the literature Of Corea and thus
sweep away Corean traditions, and
by assisting in the promotion of
alien religious doctrine Japan also
is trying to turn the Coreans away
from Confucianism and Chinese
Buddhism and to substitute there
for Japanese Buddhism.
On the surface orderly tranquility
prevails. There Is enough. however.

SErBoLD, ito keep the military gov

tension of apprehension" The re-
sentiment OF the Coreans against the

try is fervent. deep and unrelenting,
the fire of patriotism smothered by
the military forces Of Japan mot
only refuses to be extinguished but
glows with supernal intensity and
frequently blazes forth in fury"
The Corean knows that he cannot
fight the Japanese soldiers because,
in the first place. he does not know
how to fight, and in the next place. he
is forbidden to possess firearms or
fighting implements. The Coreans.
though, have Provisional Govern
ment Of their own, which japan re-
CARDS as a joke, but which never
theless 1t fears. because there is
no Corean, however impoverished,
who does not contribute to it his
mite with the hope that it will bring
about the ultimate emancipation Of
his country.
Mr.. SEIBoLD says that Japan does
not permit the world to know the
actual conditions in Corea. He says
that Corean leaders informed him
that between 100000 and 1000, 900
Of their countrymen have fled to-
Mongolia and Manchuria to escape
punitive aggressions Of the Japanese;
he says also that the eleven years
Of occupation ''have been enlivened
with assassinations, bomb throwing,
declarations Of independence and un-
interrupted guerrilla warfare"
The Coreans look upon the Japa-
nese as invaders who rule by force.
They consider that the value Of their
country to Japan is Of military
rather than an economic character,
and that Japan maintains Corea
merely as military back door" for
defensive purposes in case Of emer-
gency. For this reason the Coreans
believe that Japan must leave Corea
and that IL they hold out against
subjugation they will eventually re-
cover their country.

Bridging the Hudson.
Automobiles Would Be Served by q
Span at Anthony's Nose.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: There
Ia one phase OF the traffic congestions
that occur every week end and on holi-
DAYS at the various ferries crossing the
Hudson which apparently offers great
possibilities.
Highland Park at Bear Mountain and
the lake region to the southwest are
the goals Of vast number OF auto
mobilists. Likewise the Tuxedo hills
and Catskills further north attract .
great many more. While tunnels and
bridges in or near the city itself would
be Of enormous service to the entire
country, would not permanent highway

vicinity of Highland Park itself prove

I know a little road that runs
Between gay lands or bare.
A road that Love keeps smoothly swept
Where many pilgrims fare.
Through sun or stress or windy hours
Along Its way they sing.

But all have Joy to bless

budget brought out small numbers of
citizens, and most of them were indi-
viduals interested in opposing reduce

taxpayer in his millions was meagrely
