WASHINGTON, Feb 16-The
sponsors Of the Fordney "Emer-
gency'' tariff bill and their trick
measure appear to be gluttons for
punishment If the roll call stage is
not reached by tonight, it is likely
the bill will cease to hold the right
of way.
Yesterday in the Senate was de-
voted chiefly to an attack on the
Emergency bill. Senators Smoot
and McCumber had to bear the brunt
Of the assault, as practically all the
other friends Of the trick bill quit the
field carly id the action.
Senator Walsh Of Montana, who
represents a wool producing section
and was expected to be caught by the
bait that the sheep raisers would be
benefited, attacked the frozen meat
duties, and estimated that the con-
sumers Of meat in the United States
would have to pay tribute to the ex-
tent OF $500, ,OOO, 900 as a result Of these
duties.
PACKERS WOULD REAP THE
GREAT BENEFIT.
Reference was made a few days
ago to the amendment Offered to the
bin imposing a duty upon frozen
meat" said Senator Walsh.
IT read: Fresh or frozen beef, veal
mutton, lamb and pork, cents per
pound. Meats of all kinds, prepared
or preserved. not specially provided
for herein. % per cent. ad vaborem.'
TT must be recognized" said he,
''that those who Immediately beneh;
by that provision, whatever may De
the ultimate result, are those who
put meat upon the domestic market.
I'VE have been advised that the an
nual consumption of meats Of this
class in this country mounts up to
an aggregate OF 25,0OO, 900, 900 pounds,
and we were told only few weeks
ago, in the discussion OF what is
known as the Packers bill. that the
| packers control and put upon the
market rs per cent. OF all the meat
consumed in the United States. The
result is, Mr.. President, that whatever
benedt accrues to any one by reason
of this provision aocrues frst-to
the extent OF rs per cent thereof

of dressed meats that 30 upon the

at is easy TO compute, Mr..
President, that if the price should

mean an increased bill for the con-

Even then it is questionable If all could be accom-
modated in classes of not over twenty-five, which
educators agree is as large as class should be.
Many Congressmen recognize all of this by putting
their children in private schools of which the city
has an unusual number.
Somehow, in some way, the situation should
be impressed upon Congress. The Board Of Edu-
cation and the Commissioners seem to have done
all they can, but have not stopped. Have the citi-
zens done their share2 Have the many neghbor-
hood clubs fully co-operated? Have the Rotary,
Kiwanis and City clubs, the Board of Trade and
Chamber of Commerce sent committees to Con-
.gress and used their influence with the members

why should the people of the United

Experiment Needed.
Now it would seem the part of
wisdom alike for the public and the
private interests concerned in this
movement to cease active propa-
ganda and popular appeals until
such time as agencies already pro-
vided have been tested and found
insufficient for the useful purpose
OF sffording a convenient and ade-
quate outlet to the sea. Since the
territory served far exceeds the linn

Inalienable Rights.
/HILE the United States government beca

iWHILE the United States government beeam.
p" the repository and guarantor of the inalien-
able rights Of all American citizens it has happened
that under the Constitution, their actual and irnme-
diate keeping rests with the several States These
rights fall quite wholly under what are known as
police powers which were retained by the States
Only certain violations of these rights are covered
by the Constitution and these are enumerated
largely in the amendments.
The fullness and completeness with which these
rights are covered rest with the States The mere
right to life, to liberty and seek happiness may
be very barren of results. What one may call a
right may in law be but privilege to be granted
or withheld. Every one should have right to
work; to have a wage measured at least by produc-
ing capacity and the cost of decent, living; to be
born in decent surroundings; to have the opportu-
nifty of developing his full capacity for usefulness
and to have surroundings which encourage right
living .a.~ r.
But the Federal government, the Constitution
and State laws do not guarantee any Of these nor
are they in fact assured anywhere to anyone. They
left to chance and individual effort while their
assurance is the one great social problem still to
be worked out 1t is at the root of all social dis
tress and discomfort.
1t is mighty imperfect social system which
not only does not provide, but even denies work to
the willing and Industrious No country can claim
real democrary where there is hunger not due to
sheer laziness and wiifuI incapaeity. No country
can plume itself when there are slums and sweat
shops child labor and excessive contrasts of want
and luxury
The Declaration of Independence promised
what as then interpreted, covered but political
rights. Not until these translated into social
terms will this country have reached the meaning in
which the Declaration is now read

A Real War.

u ING CONSTANTINE has real war on his
IN hands. 1t is one which will demand all the
resources of Greece, and if won may leave her
bankrupt. She may be in the class of the land
poor'-unable to pay the taxes and without credit.
She is now paying the penalty of dressing up with
crown, of indulging in the baubes of royalty.
The Greek army fell into the old, old trap.
The Turk led it on far from its base of supplies,
with long line of communication behind it, and
then suddenly turned with increased force and
smashed it. The Greek advance was suspiciously
easy The Turks retreated with surprisingly little
resistance They lost prisoners and fought only
rear guard actions. ...
The Greeks boiling ahead were unable because
of the very speed of their advance properly
feet supply lines or even adequately prepare for
defense. Every day found them another days full
marching distance from their original base. They
reached the Bagdad railroad only to suddenly
awake to the fact that while they had been running
away from their base, the Turks were just that
much nearer their own
Apparently no provision for immediate re-en-
forcements had been made. There were no fresh
supporting troops in numbers, at their The
entire army in action and in condition to
meet the attack the Turks hurled at them. They
are hurrying back fast they advanced
and probably cannot stop short of their original line,
if there. 1t also dubious if the King get
support enough from his people to renew the Often

1t is equally questionable, however, if the Turks
can bring up sufficient force and sufficient sup
plies TO do than restore the situation It
The tables inverted, as the Greeks are fall
ing back their base with re-enforcements advanc-
ing to support them, while the Turks are getting
further away from their center of supplies and IA
clities.
In the meanwhile the French military authori-
ties saying: 81 told you So" and the allies have
grim SMILE not altogether unsympathetc, but with
a still greater element of satisfaction. In this
country alone there will be genuine regret at the
Greek debacle and hope with little on which to
base it, for a recovery and final success.

SCIENTIsT-PRINCE TO GET
NATIONAL ACADEMY MEDAL.

His serene highness. the Prince
Of Monaco. Is coming to Washing
ton on April % to receive the Aeas-
sig medal that has been awarded
TO him by the National Academy
of Sciences for his researches in
oceanoErsphy.
The Prince OF Monaco is now 20
yeaps old. and ever since he was
is he has made the study Of the
sea his major interest. In the
depths Of the ocean he hoped 10
find the secret of life. and he has
equipped four successive yachts for
deep-ses dredging and the inves-
tigation OF ocean currents. Those
Investigations. carried on continu-
ously since 1856. have thrown great
light upon marine forms of plant
and animal life. and incidentally
his mapping of Atlantic currents
aided the allied shipping in avoid
ing German mines.
From the study OF origins Of life
in the sea. the prince was natu-
rally led to undertake a search for
the origins Of human life on the
land. The abundant revenue that
he derives from the Casino Of Monte
Carlo has been expended in the
service Of science. and the rocky
promontory that constitutes his
principality has become the center
of international conferences for the
prosecution Of snthropology and the
promotion Of peace. He establish
ed in 1910 a Museum Of Ocean
ogrsphy at Monaco in a stately
building perched on the side Of a
cliff overlooking the Mediatrrsnesn
to house his marine collections. In
1920 he supplemented this by open
ing a Museum OF Human Psleon-
tology at Paris. where the sketches
and skeletons from prehistoric
caves may be exhibited and studied.
The excavation Of the caverns Of
Southern France and Spain at the
expense of the prince has brought
TO light the bones and flint tools
of men OF the Old Stone age who
occupied these caves some 10000
years ago. The more primitive OF
those races. the Grimsldi man. was
of a frail neEroid type. This race
was displaced by q bigger and more
enterprising type OF man. the Cro-
Magnon. who came 10 the front
during the glacial period and who
adorned the walls Of his cave-hOuse
with marvelously vivid pictures in
red and black OF the reindeer, the
bison. the horse, the mammoth and
the rhinoceros.
Albert ], the present Prince OF
Monaco. comes Of the ancient O l.
maldi family and inherits many his
toric names. But when he was ask

teemed. he answered: That of cor
