The New York millionaire vessel
man, Charles w. Morse, was once
thief. He wrecked the New Amster-
dam bank and other allied institutions
by methods that were as cool and de-
liberate as the highwayman's meth
DDS. He was sent to the penitentiary
but later got out on a pardon because
he was supposed to be dying. How
ever, he miraculously got well and ev-
en- robust.
Now, those of us who feel that there
is hope for the thief, would expect
Morse to become a paragon of recti-
tude from the day the prison door
opened until the day he drew his last
breath. 81.
But sad to relate, here we find Un-
Gle Sam charging him with having
robbed the government pretty nearly
blnd-charging him with stealing
millions and millions. And, as the Sc
cret service closes in on him, we hear
Of him taking passage to Europe hur-
riedly and under a false name.
But he had to come back because
France wouldn't let him stay on her
soil. The best American lawyer in
Paris refused to take his case. Next
we will hear of him putting up the
stoutest defense in our courts that
money can buy. That is his right and
he is not guilty until found guilty, but
many a policeman is saying: 81 told

Farmer Gritting his Teeth and
Biding His Time"

The regular session Of the Sixty
seventh Congress opens with a we'll
defined cleavage between the Reac-
tionaries and the Progressives. The
latter know their strength and have
had a fresh taste of victory.
That the Reactionaries will continue
to dictate to them is apparent from
that part of President Harding's mes
sage reprimanding them for joining
with the Democrats in passing the
Democratic amendments to the tax
bill, and his plea for party harmony
and party government.
But out in the West is an intelli-
gent and watchful constituency which
has been disillusioned on the, tariff;
which has lost or is losing faith IS in
Republican promises Of lower taxes
and economical government; which Is
beginning to realize that the party in
power does not understand the prob.
lens with which it has to deal and Is
incompetent therefore to solve them
Above all, it understands now as naYl
err before that it has no identical In
terests with the privileged and 5preda,
tory classes who finance and control
the reactionary element Of the Repub-
lican party.
Just how the Western constituents
feel about it is we'll expressed by a
Western weekly paper, which says:
"The farmer is gritting his teeth and
biding his time"

Republican Savings" and Deficiencies


Congressman James F. Byrnes, of
South Carolina, Democratic member
of the appropriations Committee, has
+ again exposed the fake Savings"
claimed by the Reactionary Republi-
cans in Congress. In recent speech
he said: l
"But want to comment for min
ute upon the saving you were going
to make; because the gentleman from
Wyoming (Mr. Mondell) said you.
were going to make those savings,
and when he says so you have OF be-
lieve it. He told the President you
were going to save $3.50, 100000 out of
the appropriations for this year. He
said that you were going to save
500, 100000 in the navy. But the
navy asked for $27, 1000 900 in the way
of deficiency. Then they withdrew
the estimate and said they would try
and see if they could not reduce it by
the time the regular session met in
December.
The gentleman from Wyoming stat
ed he was going to save $25,0O0,OO0
out of the appropriations for the Ag-
appropriations was only $36, 000, 900.
When | called attention to that, the
/ gentleman from Illinois Mr.. Madden)
stated that it was to be saved out of
the road fund; but you know, and the
! country ought to know, that instead of
saving money out of the road fund
since that time we have appropriated
500, 100000 to be spent in co-opera-
ton with the states in building public
! roads. So that instead of saving $685.
100000, we have appropriated an adj
ditional $100.000,0 900 since that time.
"Now, as business men, how can we
reconcile those statements The gen.
tleman from Wyoming said that in the
| Navy Department we would save
! $100,000,00O. The total amount APP
propriated on the building contracts
was only 100000, 900, and if this con-
ference on the limitation of armament
is a success and we cancel the con-
tracts, we all know that we have got
to pay damages in addition to the
amounts already spent, and there is
not chance on earth of saving $780,
000,000 in the navy appropriations.
On the contrary, the department asked
for 27,000,0O0 devciency appropria-
tons.
! ~ call attention to this because I
make the prediction now that we will
have at least two or three more dew
cheney bills, and unless there is a
great change in the executive depart
ments the deficiency bills Of this Con-
gress are going to amount to almost
as much as any Congress prior to
1908 ever spent for all government
purposes. '1siTsdtga aiIioM ~

it cost anywhere from $250,00O to

Dcnunciations of Senator Lodge
Us liar will hardly excite him to
demand all the details of the treaty
with Germany supposed to be in the
making. Nor is he likely to be dis
turbed by the charge that he is
sponsoring on the part Of President
Harding the same "secret diplo-
macy" which so aroused his ire
when practiced by President Will
son.
The assumption that President
Harding is initiating his prcdeccs-
sor-~and on this assumption the at
tack on Senator Lodge is predi-
catcd-has weak legs to travel on.
In 1919 President Wilson adver-
tiscd that he would accept no
change Of any sort~~that he had so
arranged matters that the Senate
could not amend. Is there even the
rcmotcst indication that President
Harding il doing the same? Has
he refused 10 submit TO the Senate
the draft Of the supposed separate
treaty? Has he denied to the mem
bers OF the Foreign Relations Com

mittee all pertinent information? Is
there any evidence that he proposes
to alter. long-established national
policies without consulting any one?
The Presidents right to take the
initiative in foreign relations has
never been challenged. But as to
many matters a decent respect for
the opinions of his fellow citizens
and respect for the substantial
rights Of his governmental partners
will lead him not to abuse this power
CT to assume that it gives him au-
thority to refuse consultation al
together. One may be quite sure
that if Mr.. Harding copied his
predecessor in any real fashion he
would soon hear from Senator
Lodge and the Senate. In fictitious
parallels, sustained by logic chop
ping, practical and sensible men
are little interested.

New York's Population

The complete census figures for
1920, now published, show New York
States population to be at last we'll
above the ten million mark. That is
considerably more than the popula-
ton of the whole United States at
the time, a hundred years ago, when
New York became the most populous
state of the Union. The census Of
1920 first gave this state the rank
that it has since held. The margin,
though not as large as it once was,
now shows tendency to increase.
The population Of New York, as COM
pared with the next largest state,
Pennsylvania, was, in 1860, as 1873 to
100; in 1870, 1874 to 100; in 1880,
1l8; in 1890 it fell as low as ia, and
in 1900 it was only lis to 100; but
in 1910 and again in 1920 it was 119
to 100.
The increase of population in the
last decade has, of course, been much
less than in former decennal census
periods, as has also been that of the
United States as whole. The in
crease is II per cent, compared with
14.9 for the United States. In 1910
the increases we're for New York
25.4 and for the United States 21.0
per cent; in 1900 the figures were
21.1 and POT, respectively, and in
1890 they were 1871 and 25.5. In
these last ten years New York thus
has been doing about as we'll as the
country at large.
New York City, being the port Of
immigrant entry, it's foreign-born
population naturally increases more
rapidly than that Of the country at
largc-about twice as fast. The
census Of 1900 showed the increase
Of foreign born in this state in ten
years was 2G.l per cent and in the
United States 1876. In 1910 the fig
ures were, respectively, 30.2 and 14.7.
The census Of 1920 shows New
York's increase to have been 26.s
per cent, and tho corrected 6gvres
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-14

for the United States will doubtless
be about half as much.
In the division of the population
between the sexes the numbers are
so nearly equal that the balance fluc-
tuates from one side to the other,
while in the United States as a whole
there is always decided majority
of males. Thus, in the United
States in 1900, there were 1,076
males to 1000 females, and in 1910
there were LOO. But in New York
in 1900 there were 996 men to l 900
women; in 1910 the balance changed,
and there were 1929 males to 900
females, and in 1920 the balance
changed back again to 998 males to
1000 females.
