NH. bclliS llQ0Il LyuCu III lie
Tribune on Sunday last on the city's
nonagenarian Elections Board pres
ident, John r. Voorhis, our at
tention was attracted by this bit:
"What would you propose as a
remedy for lettering conditions in
public lfe?"
To which Mr.. Voorhis answered {:
swell, let us take this office, for
example. We have about 5000 cleo
tion officials. Some are good and
some are bad. We literally have to
take what we can get. The time the
law allows US is too short to make a
proper selection. What should be
done is to change the law so that
we will have a competent class to
draw from. You know that the bal
lot is at the root of our government.
1t should oe safeguarded. That cam
not be done if incompetency or the
corrupt are in charge of it on Pri-
mary Day or Election Day"
Which, we say, with all proper
regard for Mr.. Voorhis's many
years, is exactly the sort of answer
that we would expect the Grand
Sachem of Tammany Hall to make
to the question put to him by Mr..
Lynch. Does it not smack also of
its nonagenarian genesis?
To be reminded by Tammany
Hall that "the ballot is at the root
of our government" and again that
cit should be safeguarded," tres
passes very near the border of
high humor. And particularly at a
time when the news of the day is
reeking with the scandal of the pri-
mary frauds perpetrated against
James j. Hines by the followers Of
Charles Francis Murphy, the Good
Ground ruler of Tammany.
Change the law so that we will
have competent class (of election
officialsl to draw from proposes
Tammany's Grand Sachem
What law, Mr.. Voorhis? The
one which would enable New York
to do it's voting by uncontrolled
machines instead of the Tammany
machine? There is but single In
fuence opposing the use of the vot.
ing machine, and that is Tammany,
it's specious ground being that the
machines were manufactured by
non-union labor.
Yet how we wish, when Mr..
Voorhis was asked how to better
conditions in public life, he had
answered thus from the peak of his
ninety-three years of life:
Eliminate the Murphys and
their kind from power. Make it
impossible for them to get living
out of political manipulation and
Office cribbing, Eliminate the
Hearsts and their kind. Make it
impossible for them to incite class
against class and exploit the pas
sions and necessities of the poor and
unfortunate. Eliminate the Hylans,
the silly and incompetent executives
of that sort. Let only those who
have studied government administer
it. And when you've done these
things-and don't quit until they're
done-I think the road will begin to
open pretty straight ahead"
But not in Tammany Hall nor in
it's oldest adherents may we ever
expect to find such philosophy
New-York tribune., 1921-09-28

According to the Washington cor
respondents, ex-President Wilson is
advising Democratic Senators to do
all they can to defeat ratification of
the treaty with Germany. The force
Of habit is strong. Mr.. Wilson pre-
vented ratification of the Versailles
Treaty. He had bat to say the word
and two-thirds majority could have
been created for the Versailles docu-
ment, modified by the Senate's res
ervations.
But Mr.. Wilson was more set on
having his way than on having a
treaty. Rather than yield in his
dispute with the Senate he slaugh-
tered his own offspring. Having
committed himself to the theory that
no treaty was preferable to one
which he couldn't dictate, he may
think he is consistent now in op-
posing any substitute or rival treaty.
He is as ruthless about slaughtering
other peoples children as he was
about slaughtering his own.
Mr.. Wilson, apparently resuming
the attitude Of party leader, holds
that no peace may be sought with
Germany which doesn't conform to
his preconceived 1919 pattern. His
intervention seems to have brought
about several sudden conversions on
the Democratic side of the Senate.
John Sharp Williams, who was for
ratification of the German. treaty, is
now against it. Other Senators are
disposed to initiate this faccabout.
The Democratic minority in the SEN
ate. reduced in numbers by the last
election, is again threatened with
the disunity from which it suffered
in the last treaty fight.
Where would the ex-President's
reasserted leadership guide it? In
1920 he submitted his case against
the Senate to ga great and solemn
referendum" AS result the DEM
ocratic party met one of the greatest
disasters in it's history. The popu-
lar vote year ago showed beyond
dispute that the country was un-
utterably weary of Wisconsin. 1t
rejected the theory of Wilson peace
or no peace. Many Democrats
soberly accepted the result of the
referendum. But because it didn't
go their way other Democrats re-
fused to accept it. Mr.. Wilson, the
originator of the referendum idea,
now puts himself openly at the head
OF these "bitter-enders." The old al
lance for destructive purposes is
being revived-on the one side Mr..
Borah. who thinks that the German
treaty would entangle US too much
in European affairs, and on the
other the Wilsonites, who hold chat
1T doesn't sufficiently entangle us.
Mr.. Wilson's blunders made it nee
essary for the United States to
negotiate separate peace treaty.
Not being willing to admit his blum
ders, the ex-President is averse to
seeing them rectifed by his success
sor. He failed to terminate the
state of war with Germany. Now
ne doesn't want to have the present
Administration terminate it.
1t the Democratic party is ready
to tie itself up to such program,
that is a matter for it's own judg-
nent and conscience. But there is
thought coming to it. The great
est treaty wrecker of our time may
also come to be remembered as the
greatest party wrecker.

When journalistic versifiers write paro-
dies like this here.
1t is an interesting story the Asso-
ciated Press Washington correspondent
writes about ths daily dongs Of Mr..
Woodrow Wilson. Our curiosity as to
what Mr.. Wilson reads is appcased, in
a measure, for we learn that he reads
less detective fiction than formerly.
Possibly that is because the cares that
infest his day are not 30 corroding as
they were in his Pennsylvania Avenue
house.
Why, we often have wondered, do
men seeking to unseat Black Care from
the Horseman's Back fnd it in detec-
tive stories? Rather, why do they not
look for it in poetry? Does poetry
take too much out of the reader? Will
some semi-pro psychanalyst evaluate
the of this problem for us?
OF course, as every city editor knows,
there are no fawless reporters.
Schools and colleges ask for dona-
tions," the A. P. correspondent writes;
"individuals who feel the pinch of the
times ask for some personal financial
assistance" Does Mr.. Wilson say yes
to the schools and colleges? Does he
respond materially to the letters Of
the touch system?
If we had given the thing a little
more thought, we should have seen at
once why the reporter didn't say. Con-
slider the size Of Mr. Wilson's mail if
the story had added "and Mr.. Wilson
