The years greatest loss in Ameri-
cas- religious world was in the death
of Cardinal GRBoNs, churchman
and citizen whose noble qualities had
for years commanded the respect OF
men and women of every belief. An
other death in the Roman Cath
olic hierarchy was that of Bishop
MCDONNELL of Brooklyn. The Episco-
pal Church, which suffered the loss
of Bishop BuRcH late last year. added
the name OF DR.. JOHN p. PETERS to
its list of distinguished dead in the
year 1921.
The realm Of business and finance
had to record the passing of two of
its most notable captains, SAMUEL p.

ius for industrial organization, and

Journalism saw the last of some OF
its finest veterans. HENRY WATTEEsoN
only few days ago closed a career
which had enlivened and illumined
the whole country for more than a
generation; and with him disappeared
the last member of the last group of
famous personal journalists. OF less
wide province was the work of Colonel
WILLIAM HESTER of the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle, dean of the New York
city publishers; yet Colonel HESTER
was newspaper man who had served
two generations of readers and had
been one OF the best beloved figures
in his profession. Other distin-
guished newspaper men and authors
who died during the year were JOHN
A. SLErcHER. General CHARLES III.
TAYLOR, JOHN p. BoGART, TITUS

The world of medicine lost DR..
MATTHEW D. MANN. In music's realm
the voice Of the Incompatible CARUso
who had come to be regarded as
an American--was forever stilled:
and DAVID BIsPHAM too is among
the departed.
Seven or eight of the names listed
here were known in every American
household. Others will be long re-
membered in the professions to which
they added knowledge and distinc
tion. Almost all were men not only
to be mourned but to be proud of
and made examples for youth. The
majority Of them had come to the
fullness Of years. Their great work
was done. They had sown the seed
and seen the harvest. Each year sees
the passing of earnest men like them.
They leave more than fame. They
leave example, which, as BURKE said,
Is the school of mankind.

sssssd have been considered there is

sessed have been considered there is
probably no other just conclusion
than that only those plays passed
out OF view which in fact were de-
serving of such a fate. Some were
more pretentious in form than
others. Perhaps certain plays which
appealed to a lower ideal than the
majority had less sympathy in their
quick passing. 1t is probably true
that every one of them was actually
deficient in the qualities which create
lasting success.
Some new works by the most nota-
BILE writer's for the American thea
ter did not long survive. BooTH
HARRINGTON wrote THE Wren,"
which altogether lacked the quail
ties that make for enduring popu-
larity in play. But in "The In
innate Strangers" he showed that
his hand had not lost its cunning.
EUGENE O'NErLL could not interest the
public in study Of tuberculosis, al
though some of his most skillful
writing was to be found in "The
Straw" But the more general ap-
peal of anna Christie" found his
admirers loyal. The failure Of these
two eminent writer's could in each
case be readily explained.
With the talk Of the public's strike
against buying theater tickets there
are plays drawing every week houses
which would have been considered
impossible ten years ago. So the
lesson of the year. in spite of the
murmurs Of dissatisfaction from the
impresarios, is encouraging. The pub
lie, in spite Of the times, has ample
funds to patronize what is best in the
theater. But the public has set a
high standard.

Our Constitutional System.
Two Attempts to Regulate Voting In
Sovereign States.

To THE New York HERALD: Resum-
Ing the discussion OF the amendments to
the Constitution OF the United States and
with our attention still directed to the
Fourteenth Amendment It Is pertinent to
remark that "duc process OF law and
the equal protection Of the laws" as
provided present purely questions Of
law; the requirements may all be met.
but if the triers OF fact are not disposed
to dc their duty few substantial rights
of the individual can be secured through
appeals on questions of law.
1t is entirely incompatible with the
dignity of sovereign State to have its
Legislative and judicial departments sub
tect to supervision from another sover-
eign where no legitimate concern OF the
supervising power Is involved, and It Is
certain that II the question were pre-
sented to-day as Il would have appeared
at the time of the Constitutional Con-
vention not a single State would approve
the proposal.
TIE second section OF the Fourteenth
Amendment IL of course practically a
substitute for the compromise three
fifths rule OF Section OF Article l.. and
properly belongs 20 that part of the
Constitution. The penalty prescribed for
denying the right to vote for certain
officials. which would result in n dIminu-
ton OF representation in the House Of
Representatives, Is a dead letter. The
remainder Of the article is given over to
legislative details OF no practical effect
az this time. and 1t may be stated gem
orally that Tic entire article. with the
exception of part OF the second sec
tion, might be eliminated without work.
Ins any practical wrong to any ono and
with a great Increase in the dignity and
responsibility OF the Legislatures and
thc courts OF all the States. without In
any manner dctractlng from the leg.tl-
mate powers OF the Federal Government
In accomplishing the results which were
contemplated by the preamble to the
Constitution.
Passing to the Fifteenth Amendment,
which ls identical in purpose with that
.f the Nineteenth Amendment, ana
which Is limitation on the states In
determining the qualifications of the
electors, 1t may be said that In the To-
calty especially contemplated It has
been a dead letter almost from the start.
and ~ Is reasonably certain that the
Nineteenth Amendment viii be equally
imperative within the Same territory.

Electric Drive Engines.
The Principle Used Twenty Years
Ago on Sightseeing Automobiles.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Refer
ring to the suggestion Of C. J. Brown

to q dynamo designed to run at the
most efficient engine speed, electrically
connected to an individual electric mo-
tor drive ON each wheel axle Of the

into the literature on the subject that
no will find that this scheme has been
in use for something more than twenty
years. both on railroads and on large
automobiles, such as the sightseeing
automobiles.

piled to one of the sightseeing automo-

set forth and discussed herein the
percentage Of his life appropriated to
this sentence Is excessive"
What of the long years which DEBs
himself appropriated to his ~opposi-
tion to law and orderly government"
as Mr.. DAUGHEHrY phrases it? The
document further says:
"A great lesson has been taught
not only 10 this country but to the
world and future generations. by
the [supreme Court decision in this
case"
Then why nullify the lesson by
turning DEBs loose to mock the Ad-
ministration, jeer at the Government
and defy the law?
Now for the last excuse which we
are able to find IN Mr.. DAUGHERTY's S
recommendation:
Undoubtedly also, in DEBs's case.
a far heavier sentence was pro-
nounced than would have been inn
posed OF justified upon another citi-
aen for like utterances."
Mr.. DAUGHEETY must be unfamiliar
with the records Of his own depart
ment to make such a statement as
this.
In California IpELL KENNEDY was
sentenced to eleven years imprison-
ment for advising soldiers to throw
away their guns.
In Iowa ID. T. BLoDeETT received a
twenty year sentence for attempting
t. cause disloyalty. insubordination
and mutiny.
In Ohio NJ. l.. NEHRfNG was sem
fenced to nineteen years in prison
for violating the espionage act.
In California r. T. HowENsT1yE
was condemned to ten years in prison
for conspiracy to cause insubordina-
tion and disloyalty.
In New York three men received
sentences Of twenty years each and
woman a sentence of fifteen years
for publishing seditious remarks.
In Kentucky two old men were con-
victed of expressing, In private con-
versation, sympathy for Germany.
Ones sentence was ten years, the
others seven years and fine Of
$4,000.
In the case Of ID. 7. BLoDGETr, Mr..
DAUGHERTYs predecessor in the At
torney-GeneraPs Office recommended
that the sentence Of twenty years be
commuted to eight years, and he
made the comment that DEBs, whose
violation of the law he considered
much more serious than BLoDGETT's s,
received a sentence Of but ten
years."
III the Daugherty recommendation
explains anything 1t explains that
the hue and cry may be used for re-
lease as well as for arrest. DEBs had
an army of letter writer's and petit
tioners-and DEBs is free.
But the wretched soldiers in whom
DEBs and his crew planted the seeds
of insubordination are in prison.

No Tariff on Hides and Oil.

Anybody in Congress that proposes
tariff duties on hides and oil must
know that he Is proposing what is
not Republican doctrine, what has
not been American practice and what
the people of this country would not
stand for.
There could not be duty on hides
without all Of it and more going
straight into the price of shoes for
the whole American public, and the
price of shoes is too high as it is
for the American people to bear
patiently. In not many lines do
articles OF consumption get to more
Of our 11O,O0O,00O population, even to
the children and babes, than shoes.
No material benefit could come to
the farmers, about whom the propos.
ers of a tariff on hides talk, because
the farmers in large part, and even
the bigger ranchmen, do not deal in
hides. They sell their cattle on the
hoof, regardless of the hides, and it
Is chiefly the packers buying the live
stock who get anything out OF the
hides.
But with a duty on hides every
farmer would have to pay more not
only FOR the shoes of his family but for
the harness and other leather equip
ment of his horses and vehicles.
As for tariff on petroleum, it
would not merely make oil and gaso-
line dearer to all consumers; it
would hasten the day when the oil
supply of this country would be ex-
hausted and the American public
would be at the mercy of foreign
oil producers. When one of our very
greatest industrial problems is how
the nations dwindling oil supply can
be prolonged for even comparatively
few years. it would be an economic
crime to bar out any of the foreign
supply, since every gallon of oil from
abroad is as good as gallon added
TO our own domestic stock, now SO
much in danger Of an early and COM
plete drying up.
When there will not be domestic
oil enough TO go around among our
own consumers in short time, just
as there is not now domestic lumber
enough to go around among our own
consumers, the American people can
not have any more use for a Con-
gressman who wants to stick tariff
duties on foreign oil TO keep it out
than they can have use for a Con-
gressman who wants to build tariff
wall to shut out foreign lumber when
there is housing shortage in this
country which can be measured. as
to the families in need OF both bet
ter and cheaper houses, only in the
millions.
To national legislators who have
any regard for the needs OF the pub
lie IN the present and for the very
industrial existence Of the country
in the future a duty on hides or oil
or lumber is unthinkable.

The Case of Debs.
His Release Permits Him to Sow
More Seeds of Sediti0n.

To THE NEW York HERALD: You de-
serve the highest commendation for
your recent editorial article entitled
THE Release of Deps." / note that
Debs is already making the same state
nients for which he was imprisoned.
and while we are not at war now he Is
sowing seed which viii breed opposition
to the Government in the future should
il ever be necessary again to defend
this glorious country.
The lenity shown by the judiciary
toward criminals In the way Of sus-
pended sentences, light fines. short SEN
tences and later pardons has made the
criminal class fearless. Judges ought
to be brought to see tia. this treatment
is going to bring results which some
day will have to be met in q way more
serious than would be the case IL crime
were curbed now. READER

Subway Train Connections.
Why Passengers Are Sometimes De.
layed mt Neyins Street Station.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Why is
1t that Seventh avenue train Of the
1nterborough subway IL kept waiting at
the Nevins street station with doors
wide open only just long enough for a
Lexington avenue train to come almost
to stop on the opposite side of the
platform? BY. this action thousands of
persons who use Nevins street station
as transferring point from the Lex
ington avenue trains to the Seventh
avenue trains lose an average OF fifteen
minutes each night. besides unnecessa-
rtly keeping the Platform in an exceed
ingly crowded condition.
1t certainly would not Inconvenience
the operating schedule of the railroad
If the supervisor of the station would
wait until the passengers had trans
ferred from one train TO tho other be-
fore ringing the bell for the dispatch
OF the Seventh avenue train rather than
ringing the bell just before the doors
of the Lexington avenue train opened,
the difference only being about minute
at the most. A. r.
BROOKLYN, December 3o
1t is fact that at times a train
will be leaving Nevins street, east
bound, just as Lexington avenue
train pulls into the station, but It Is
not due to the eastbound train being
held for the purpose. 1t is due to the
fact that the signal arrangement on
No. track at Nevins street-used by
Lexington avenue trains-permits
trains to follow closely one another in
entering the station. Occasionally
train will enter on this track, unload
it's passengers and proceed, the passen-
gers bound for points beyond board
ing the eastbound train on the other
track and before this transfer has
been completed and the eastbound
train has left a second train on the
No. 2 track will be pulling into the
station. If passengers OH the second
train see the train on the other track
IN the act Of closing the doors 1t may
give them the impression that the
eastbound train was merely being held
long enough to avoid connection. This
condition occurs, however, only at
times when there Is gap in either
the eastbound or the westbound serv-
ice, and in such cases to hold a train
for connection would only mean
added delay and thus discommode a
great number of passengers.
