The Assaults on Civilization.

The anti-American agitation in
Italy and France, which reached
climax in the attempt to kill Am
bassador HERRIcK in his Paris home
with bomb and in riotous demon
stration in front of the United States
consular Office in Brest, is one of the
strange manifestations OF unreason
in which revolutionists indulge.
Communists, extreme socialists and
anarchists apparently have made
common cause against the represen.
tatives of the United States Govern.

The convicted men have until No.

Filly Supremacy in Racing.

The current racing season in the
United States affords two conspicu,
GUS examples of the supremacy of
mares on the running turf in Miss
Joy and Startle. while in England
the filly Golden Corn, which is owned
by MARSHALL FIELD, Jr., of Chicago,
has by her victories in the Cham
pagne Stakes and Middle Park Plate
given indisputable evidence Of her
superiority over the colts.
In the case Of Miss Joy, which has
lot been asked to show her quality
in a contest of more than six fur
longs, there is doubt as to whether
che has risen beyond the average of
the get of her sire, Peter Ounce, in
the matter Of stamina. Until she
demonstrates that she can carry her
great speed for seven furlongs or a
mile Miss Joy will not be seriously
considered as a rival Of the Ameri-
can colts for honors in any of the
tn, ee-year-old classics next spring.
Not so with Startle, which in win
ming the Kentucky Jockey Club
Stakes recently ran a mile in
1888 3-5. This fine effort marks the
daughter Of the imported stallion
Star Hawk as possessing that quality
Of endurance which is the salvation
rcf the thoroughbred in any country.
Already Startle, whose sire was
brought to the United States from
England by A. X. MAcoMBER and sub
sequently taken to France. is re-
garded as the most promising candi-
date the West can muster for the
distance races of 1922.
Shotover. Tagalie, Fifinella, Signor-
meta and other fillies have won
the EPSON Derby. Regret took the
Kentucky Derby. while Tanya won
the Belmont Stakes. In the main
three-year-old fillies have achieved
their greatest distinction in the au-
tumn. 1t is because of this fact that
many favor placing the severest tests
for mares late In the season.
AS Mr.. FIELD has recently regis
tered his racing colors, which con-
sist of solid straw jacket and cap,
with the New York Jockey Club for
life, there is a chance that the young
Chicagoan may rGce a stable of thor
oughbreds in the United States. He
would be. a welcome. addition to the
ranks of American owners.

Indian Summer.

From fhe Kansas CITY Star.
Now when the Indian Summer days
Come stealing with their mystic haze.
Out DER the fields OF rustlIng corn
A breeze stirs music every morn.
The golden pumpkins ripening lie.
Forecastlng spiced delicious pie,
And apples cleaning red or gold
Bring thoughts Of winter evenings cold
A lazy stiffness fills the air.
AS II Dame Nature everywhere
Was resting from her seasons toll;
Matured, her children of the soil.
Spring has It's charms. intoxlcates,
The love of youth and beauty safes:
But Indian Summer brings content
To those who have the year well spent.

The Bryant Park Idler.
The Job He Spurned Easy Compared
With the Tasks of Mothers.

To THE NEW York HERALD: I have
read the letter of the man sitting on a
bench in Bryant Park who refused a
job Of dish washing at SO day and
board. He was, according to his own
statement. to have had two hours of
leisure in the day and from midnight till
10 A. NJ. for rest.
How many a wife and mother do I
know who does not have so much time
for rest! Rising after a night during
which she has been disturbed by the
baby, she attends to her domestic duties
all day and evening finds her busy with
her family mending.
Poor man. he has not the strength to
work as hard as many delicate woman.
He is to be pitied. The husbands of
these hard working mothers should be
still more heavily taxed to provide him
with every comfort whilefhe sits idle
In Bryant Park.

Old Favorites of the Stage.

It is a familiar saying Of the thea
tire that there are no longer any old
favorites. The public is notoriously
f,ckle. The managers will tell you
al secret of their business that new
faces are more pleasing to the public
than old acquaintances.
other times, other ways. There
was a day when the old favorite was
the best beloved of all. One hundred
years ago to-day there was born In
England the woman who so long was
affectionately known on the New
FORK stage as old Mrs. GILBERT.
She ended her career as finished
actress OF comedy. When she came
from England to this country 1t was
to show her talents as dancer. A
pessimistic critic holds that. every
man or woman who remains long
enough on the stage acquires a de-
gree OF skill. Be that as IL may,
Mrs. GILBERT delighted several gener.
stions of theatregoers by her por.

modern drama. She was not always

stock company she won the hearts
os the theatregoers Of her day, which
was long one. She was an artist
to the tips Of her fingers. so no role
ever suffered under her treatment.
Associated for years with the late
JAMES LEWIS, the mere mention of
their names brings to memory long
list of happy nights. Whether they
were acting in "A Night on" or THE
Railroad of Love" or THE Passing

received with a warmth that demqn.

opening Trade With Germany.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The let
ters you have been printing regarding
the first American steamer to enter
Hamburg after the armistice are inter-
esting reading, but they affect in no
way the accuracy of the statement from
me which you published on October 6,
that the Manchuria of the American
Line was the drst American flag vessel
In regular service to enter a German
port after the war.
It was well known to me when
wrote that certain cargo vessels and
tankers had made occasional voyages
to German ports before the openings of
the American Lines regular passenger
and freight service between New York
and Hamburg in December, 1919.
Tho original point under discussion
was whether the Susquehanna--the for
,ner German liner Rhein-was the frst
liner at Hamburg under the American
flag. 1t IS now agreed that she was
not, and that direct travel with Ger
many was reopened by the Manchuria
and the Mongolia, sister ships, flying
the American flag, owned and manned
by Americans and having no German
alliances.
There has been an unfortunate ten
dency among some friends of the Amer
lean merchant marine, I'm speaking OF
restoring the flag on the seas, to forget
the important fact that the American
Line has kept the flag flying In the
north Atlantic. through thick and thin
for more than ffty years, and most oi
that time alone.
We of the American Line feel that
more credit Is due the line than 1t Is
receiving. particularly in connection witt

A Ceologist's Economics.

At recent session Of the Ameri.
can Mining Congress in Chicago
GEORGE OTIS SMITH, Director of the
United States Geological Survey, did
some plain talking on the subject of
the loss and cost of part time coal
production, after he had strongly
hintcd that operators were at least
partly to blame because they "are
too prone to pass 1t Ipart time pro-
duction1 as necessary evil; that is
as a part OF the natural order OF
things" Then he reminded his
listeners that unemployment means
a nationwide tax directly or indi
rectly affecting every citizen, rich or
poor. busy or idle, "for unemploy
ment involves the tax of the idle
plant. and idle cars and idle men; a
tax that must be assessed against the
whole public"

days. produce only about an average
OF 75,000,00 tons. AS evidence that
this curtailed years work is not an
economic evil natural in the order

Special Despatch to THE New yoaK HElALp.
Albany. Oct. 20.
Schools in New York and other cities
in the State will not be able to make
proper progress until they are made
financially independent OF city govern
ments and rural schools cannot be lifted
out of the rut in which they are now
crawling until broader system OF ad-
ministration than the present district
unit has been adopted.
This IS the criticism OF New York's
school affairs made tonight by DR..
Frank Picrpont Graves upon his inaug-
uration as president Of the University of
the State Of New York. Others who
spoke were DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
and Chester S. Lord.
Dr. Graves led up to the main points
Of his subject by declaring that progress
sive school methods will need far larger
financial support than did the old hit-or-
miss school system. He said:
The schools do not belong to the city
and should not be considered among it's
municipal expenditures. II they are to
be classified in the general city budget
they Will inevitably get the small end Of
1t. 1t has long since been decided by
every court in the land where thc matter
has been tested that the schools come
under the control Of the State and the
only rights that the city district has in
the matter are those delegated by the
State.
Financial Independence Necessary.
ut is an educationaliy sound prjnci-
pie that school authorities should have
the specific right to determine, within
reasonable limits. the amount Of funds
they need and to certify the same for
levy without interference if we are to
be true to the principles for which
America stands. The people OF the State
as a whole are supreme. since the whole
State Is interested in the education Of
its children and it cannot leave SO Inn
portant matter to the whims Of any
community.
THE financial independence OF school
boards has been secured by statute in
Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, MichiganS Califor-
MIA, Colorado and other States and has
been provided by special enactment IN
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis.
ST. Louis, Kansas City. Portland and
all cities that are alive to the welfare
Of the coming generation. Surely such
a right must be speedily established by
the great and wealthy State OF New
York
IF 1t be urged that these great and
mounting expenditures for education
will raise taxation in New York cities
beyond the constitutional limit of 2 per
cent. the reply should be that the Con-
stitution could never be interpreted as
intending that school costs should be
classified among municipal expenses, for
the jurisdictions are not the same
michigan has already set a legal
precedent in this matter for New York
by determining that expenditures for
school purposes are not expenditures
for city purposes, although the boun-
