The Chief, Mr.. MURPHY, had him ap-

So he takes orders.
Commissioner O'MALLEY is only
one of many. Mayor HyLAN has ap-
pointed, at Chief MURPHY's direction
dozens OF city officials who are as
obedient to the organization as the
Commissioner of Markets is. For
Tammany the Hylan administration
provides what DoN MARQUIS calls
the Almost Perfect State. That Is
every district leader who wants q

opportunity.

No Coercion in Magyarizing, Says Teleki
Tells Williams College Hearers Process in Hungary Is
Like Americanizing Campaign Here.

WILLIAMSBURG. Mass, Aug. 2s.--The
attempt to Magyarize non-Magyar races
In Hungary is not more an act of OPP
preston than the endeavor to American

to-day.
While you all know" he said, that
no idea of pressure or forcing against
the win is attributed to the word Amer
icanization. the corresponding term Of
Magyarization has been used by our
enemies as symbollzing racial oppres-
sion.
II do not believe need to apologize
In this country for an endeavor made In
another country, likewise harboring
many races of divers languages. to
spread the knowledge OF the language of
the minority OF the population as a
means of intercommunlcation among the
various races, and Of a better under
standing OF the traditions and ideals Of
the majority Of the Commonwealth.
Had the non-Magyar races been able
to communicate with one another in
Rumanian. Slovak. Serb or Ruthenian
there would hardly have been an ex-
cuse for substituting Hungarian for It
But no one of these principal non-Mag-
var races could communicate with an
other without the intermediary of an
other language known to all. The trans

been FAST as absurd as the introduction
OF Esperanto in the United States.
'"rhus the choice lay between German
and Hungarian. The Austrian Admins

failed not only because the German slo-
ment was but a small element In Hun

culture of the country was Hungarian
and not German. The development and

Notes out its endless dolcs Of peace
and strife
TO generations as they softly pass.
Timing their footsteps to the solemn
mass.
How many weary eyes will see its fame.
While grateful lips pronounce a sacred
name.
There in the church's legend haunted
shade

are made.
Days will be born and send their golden
Through stained glass windows rec laa

And days will fade again. but on ea-a

We who are living now can scarcely care
About the changing scenes this wax win

long.
And yet six hundred years are but a
song
TO those i've thousand years that this

Seeming each year more sacred though
less grand!

Striking When the Iron Is Hot.

President HARDING's recent appear
ance at the Capitol in opposition to
the enactment of the soldiers bonus
bill at time when the state of the
nations finances imperatively for
bids the proposed expenditure was
one Of the best acts OF his career. 1t
was justified both by its purpose and
by its result.
In spirited debate in the Senate
on Monday some of the Senators, fol-
lowing the Hon. BoURKE CocKRAN's
lead in the House, sharply criticised
the President as if for a dictatorial
proceeding; the technical ground Of
the complaint being that the Presi-
dents errand amounted to interior
ence with the pending legislation
through an address to a single
branch Of Congress.
President HARDrNG's course was de-
Tended by the citation OF q VIII
sonian precedent.
In the view of THE NEW YORK
HERALD, President HARDING needs no
such defence. If instead Of travelling
Pennsylvania avenue he had sum-
moned the Senators in delegations to
the White House and communicated
to them in that quarter his ideas on
the proposed legislation there could
have been no criticism worth a mo-
ment's notice.
The President struck while the iron
was hot and he struck well and in the
public interest.

Trade Is Europe's Salvation.

Salvation by the trade route Is not

Il works. The greater the demoraliza-
ton, the more severe the hardships
Of war, of famine or Of other mis-
fortune, the more intense the suffer

ton of commonplace trade and the
prosaic business of exchanging goods
among nations ease heavy burdens
and clear away what look like in
surmountable obstacles in the path

Germany and France are finding
this out. On opposite sides OF the
trade fence two years ago, and even

months have wrought a remarkable

A Porto Rican Editor.
Appreciation Of the English and the
Temper Of the Hon. willis Sweet.

To THE NEW York HERALD l notice
your commendation in your article Our
Flag In Porto Rico" of the editorial ex-
pressions in the English section OF Ell
TEMPO Of San Juan, all OF which is
justly deserved and eminently true. The
gentleman In charge OF the section is
the Hon. Willis Sweet, formerly Judge
and Congressman from idaho. who
went to Porto Rico as Attorney General
In 1901. and who after the expiration
OF his term as such decided to cast his
lot among the islanders. for which they
were the gamers in the field OF news
paperdom.
In country like Porto Rico where
personal diatribe is the order Of the day
In most OF the public prints, Judge
Sweet. as he is generally called, has
always kept himself within the bounds
OF decency and moderation In his writ
ings behaving as a wise counsellor
rather than an irnpugner Of the theories
of his adversar-es in the politics Of the
island.
We islanders may or may not agree
with Judge Sweets point OF view. but
the ract cannot be galnsaid that We are
attracted toward the human touch Of his
editorial articles. as there is no sting
left In them to mar social relations and
true friendship. Judge Sweet Is gen.
tleman OF the old American school and
he is teaching Porto Ricans the art,
the fine art. Of differing with your adj
versary without insulting him, and the
only pity is that his power of express
sion Is not in the Spanish language to
make stronger the influence on the Span
ish speaking country OF his ethics of
journalism OF which we need great doses.
Eorto Rico would be the better with
more Judge Sweets among continental
residents. His love for our island is
true and sincere. D. CoLLAzo.

nized by many other newspapers as
friendly as is THE New YORK HERALD
to the general purpose OF the Eigh-
teenth Amendment and as DESTROYS
as is this newspaper that all valid
laws shall be honestly enforced. But
the prohibition leaders in the House
have been contending for the annihi-
lation OF that which is Of greater
moment than any statute.
Consider what the attempt to di.
vide and partly nullify constitu
tional provision really means. There
are other guarantees in our precious
Bill OF Rights. For example. the Con
stitution guarantees to the citizen
accused OF crime the right to speedy
and public trial by an impartial jury.
II the Fourth Amendment can be
swept away, in whole or in part, for
the sake OF legislation under the
Eighteenth, so equally can the Sixth
Amendment be swept away, in part
or whole. for the sake Of legislation
under the Eighteenth. That is to
say, on the House line Of reasoning,
IL it should be found difficult to
find iuries to convict offenders against
the Volstead act at public trial, the
House leaders might as reasonably
contend for legislation which should
nullify the Sixth Amendment in
liquor cases and send the accused
bootlegger to secret trial by a com.
mission appointed by the Anti-Saloon
Leagues principal counsel.

Tax Exempt Securities.
Plan to Limit the Preference Now
Shown to State Issues.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In your
news columns appeared this paragraph:
There is n movement before the COM
mittee 10 propose creation OF a special
commission to devise some form of plan
by which incomes derived from tax OK
empt securities can be taxed.
For the commissions benefit I make
the following suggestion: That the ex-
e.nption OF all such securities be limited
to the normal income tax imposed on all
persons subject to an income tax. The
Supreme Court, IL 1t uses It's rule OF
reason" In this Interpretation Of the
Constitution and the law, would probably
hold that this exemption and freedom
from normal income taxes would DO all
that the States could demand or expect ;
that tho higher income taxes and sur
taxes were in the nature OF penalty on
the holders of large incomes and. being
a special class, that the exemption
should not apply in those cases.
This would give the states four-tenths
OF 1 per cent. advantage over other &C.
curities, which ought TO be sufficient to
make their securities marketable, consid-
ering that prior TO the income tax laws
the states had to compete on even terms
with other bonds. This plan avoids tho
segregating in tho hands OF the wealthy
a mass of tax exempt securities from
their purpose Of defeating the law as to
surtaxes,
Courts decision that the Federal Gov
eminent has not the power to tax the
income of State securities as a constltu-
tional proposition and yet limits the ex-
emptions In such a manner as not 70
create a preferred class OF taxpayers.
