The New York Mayoralty

Why New York does things politically is under stood only by who closely follow the New York newspapers through mayoralty campaigns Those who do not the trouble to do this need not be surprised at anything that happen on election day. One who followed only the New York Tribune and the Times could have seen no probability of the reelection of Mayor Hylan and those who read only the Journal or the American could have perceived no possibility of his defeat So may in this case have read all the newspapers without being made politically wise.
 Yet Hyan was elected by the greatest majority a candidate for mayor had ever received. The req sons it but they do not, we think, in- cude the influence of the newspapers, that is, the editorial influence though the newspapers served to spread before electorate which usually thinks by chance much information which the electorate chose to interpret for itself It not pre-digested information
 That is about all the influence the New York newspapers have been able to exert in cam paigns in New York The losing candidate has usu- ally had the support of all the newspapers which make special appeal to intelligence
 Mayor IyIan was accepted the friend of the poor He also claimed to be. In the parade at the reception of General Foch empty limousine bore banners it's side announcing him to be the friend of the poor There may have been exhibition of bad taste in that incident. but things in bad taste have been effective in politics
 Evidently the proletariat was strong for Hylan as is evidenced in the light vote of the socialist didate Curran the coalition candidate though per hans not unpopular, not well known as to arouse enthusiasm.
 Tammany was not only united for Hylan' but was - than usually enthusiastic The charges of aste and graft made against the Hylan admins ,ration had been made often-are always made ogainst an existing administration-that they per ,s were disregarded altogether.

Considers County Responsible
 PRESCOTT-It was the county's fault that there was a dangerous washout' near Aero Jerome junction last summer and a car belonging to State Senator Charles F. Burton of Ash Fork was wrecked and demol- ished.
 This is the basis of a demand on Yavapai county, presented at yester- days meeting of the board of su- pervisors. When the days session was over the demand lay on the ta- ble with other business not reached. There were strong indications that it would not be granted when reached Journal Miner.

MORE NATIONAL HOLIDAYS

our eight or ten legal holidays corre- spond to the Il other Roman hoH- days.
 But this proportion of almost one third of the time off did not satis- fy Rome when the empire began to decay. At the middle of the fourth century, there were 175 holidays, some lasting several days
 Indian Holidays
 No country today is in this condi- ton, but there is an interesting mod- ern example of a people having breat number of holidays. more than any of the civilized countries, and without serious effects. These people are the Hopi Indians of the South west, whose religious festivals occu- py more than half the year. They arrange most of their ceremonies for the slack months between harvest time and planting.
 A government scientist says of them: Although the Pueblo farmer may thoroughly believe in his cere- monial system as efficacious, his hu- man nature is too practical to con sume the precious planting time with elaborate ceremonials." The Hopi Indian makes his holi- days fit in with the simple economic scheme of the tribe. But more civil ized countries with complicated labor | conditions do not.
 More and more, holidays are com ing to serve as recreation days. Most | of us celebrate Washington's birth | day by an extra nap in the morning 1 and then some kind of amusement for | the rest of the day. Our remem- brance of Washington is perhaps linn | tied to a kindly thought or two ot George" who obliged us by being l famous enough to be worthy of hol- | iday.
 But our holidays are not arranged l to give the best results as days oi l recreation. It has been shown by economists that days close to Sunday are the most efficient time for holi- days. When workers knock off tC play in the middle of the week there is found to be a good deal of the be- fore and after holiday spirit: while there is generally less when the holi- day falls at the beginning or end oi | week.

to return to work on Monday with the holiday partly forgotten. The atmos- phere of office and shop is more nor nal than on a working day directly after a holiday.
 Monday Best Holiday
 Monday. like Saturday, is desirable as holiday. Here again the week is not broken up by two separate rest ing spells. Monday is the best day in the week for a holiday. from the workers point of view, because it gives him two days together
 Besides this 1t has been found that when holiday falls in the middle of the week, factories often shut down for the half of the week following the celebration. Occasionally the whole week is given to the workers-without pay.
 So far as the people who work are concerned it would be further desir- able to have our holidays scattered throughout the year, the pleasant months being the most satisfactory for celebrations.
 As the calendar stands, we have March, April, May and June without nation wide holidays. except at East CT and Decoration day, which is in May in the nor h and April in most southern states. As Good Friday is not a legal holiday in many states, Easter from an economic standpoint really does not give an extra day of rest. Then August and October have no general holidays. In all of these months, except March perhaps, the weather is favorable for out of door events-picnica, pageants, excursions and hikes.
 Our prevailing holidays seem to be clustered in the four coldest months with Fourtb of July and Labor day to furnish recreation for summer This side of the matter has never been stressed in establishing new hol- idays, but considering the financial cost when millions of workers are idle for an extra day, it might seem that an anniversary falling in June August or october might be given preference over another midwintel holiday.
 What holidays cost is shown in a general way by the governments es- innate that each legal holiday in the District of Columbia costs the coun- try about S300,000 This estimate was based on the average salary of 9O,OOC government clerks in Washington. Ii does not show tie cost in delays in work or what the gain or loss in ef- ficiency due to a day of rest may be It shows only the dollars and cents outlay for a days work. Last year the holiday bill for the district was a little more than S2,000.0OO.

The citizen spoke of former residents of Douglas whom he met his outing: he spoke O. business conditions at Pearce and Light, of the bean crop in the mountains of a prairie and mountain fire of the hunting and the abounding deer.
 All this seemed innocent enough, but the sting and poison concealed in the last paragraph in which the returned hunter mentioned, in an appar- ently casual sort of after thought. the running of the mountains with rattesnakes. In such numbers the oldest residents had seen "They everywhere and very vicious" Several the had barely escaped with their lives.

PREPARING THE GROUND?

TUST what President Harding meant by
- his speech at the Academy of Political
Science in New York does not yet appear.
He talked about the difficulties in the way
of reorsanizing the Government in Wash
ington and about the trouble which always
comes when jobs are abolished and the
incunbents dismissed. But he said that
until the number of jobs is reduced and until
there was rcadjustment of the relations of
the various departments to one another
there could be little progress in the direction
Of needed economies
The President announced that ''tbc Ad
minstration which devotes itself rccntlessly
to such work must understand that it will
lose n good deal Of immediate loyalty on the
part of a certain class of politicians. which
will not be compensated TO it at once in the
appreciation Of the public. for the public
will not have the deep, immediate interest
or the active concern which will auimate
the person who finds himself pried loose from
the purse strings
This may be regarded as warning to the
public not to expect too much in the way
Of retrenchment. Past attempts TO abolish
jobs have failed because of the activities Of
"a certain class Of politicians. Politicians
ase just as hungry now as they have been
in the past. and the Republican politicians.
who for eight years have been kept out OF
what thcv have como TO. regard as their
rights in Washington. have n keen and un-
satisfied appetite. They will do their best
to prevent carrying out the plan of re-
organization on which President Taft re-
ceived report during his Administration.
The report was never printed and it now lies
in the files of some Federal department.
We should like to believe. however. that
the President is preparing the country for
the howl which will go up from the little
politicians when the reduction Of the NUN.
ber Of persons on the Federal payroll begins
in earnest. A single speech will not do il
and it will take more than statement Of
the need Of retrenchmcnt. A detailed exhibit
Of the duplication Of work. Of the supertlu-
Gus employees and of the amount Of money
that can be saved to the taxpayers by put
ting more business in government will spike
the guns of the spoilsmen. The ground must
be carefully prepared before any radical re-
form can be brought about. If il is prop
crly prepared the men who object to abolish
ing Jobs will appear in their true light as
selfish seekers after patronage and as abso-
lutely indifercnt to anything else. Then
they may yell themselves hoarse without
stirring up any sympathy.
