Lyman, Abbott

The Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott's &C.
tlvities were spread over several
fields, and in all of them he won a
wide recognition. AS clergyman
one, too, who had relinquished the
practice Of that professionals was
called upon to succeed Henry Ward
Beecher in Plymouth Church. To
replace that tenpestuous, tempera-
mental and histrionic divine was a
test for any wearer of the cloth. DR..
Abbott met it successfully. He filled
the pastorate most acceptably for
twelve years and then once more VOL
UNFAIRLY retired from the ministry
AS journalist and author he
found, perhaps, his truer bent. He
became associated with Beecher in
the conduct Of "The Christian
Union" and in 1881 succeeded
him as it's editor. Those were
the heydays of religious or semi
religious journalism, when many
weeklies Of denominational attach
ments fiourished and built up nation
wide circulations. Most of them had
secular and literary departments
and were Of consequence in molding
opinion.
DR.. Abbott was a leader in this
branch Of journalism and magazine
work. AS the religious constituency
shrank the type of these publications
changed. They became almost COM
pletely secularized. An example of
this was the conversion of "The
Christian Union" into "The Out
look," with which renamed weekly
DR.. Abbott's later journalistic career
was SO closely identified and on
which ex-President Roosevelt served
as a contributing editor.
The greatest part of DR.. Abbott's
long life was spent in this connmu-
nifty. He enjoyed universal esteem.
He was g friend of all high causes
and generous worker for others.
He will be remembered by the gen.
Grafton of to-day as worthy and
honored citizen, veteran contribu-
tor to progress who had long at
tanned the dignity of patriarchal
years.

Even without the pay advance for
thirteen commissioners which the
Board of Estimate was afraid to in

amounts to 1861, 1858, ,SS1--a total of
more than a third of billion dollars
and an increase of sl1 ,000, 900 over
the budget of last year.
The only comment the Mayor has

The Governor and the Schools

Governor Miller has proved his
keen interest In the schools of the
state, He has also shown that
especial knowledge Of their needs
which might be expected in view Of
his early training and experience
as teacher and school commissioner
In his speech before the Regents
he attacked the gravest educational
problem Of the hour, the part-time
evil that is denying full schooling to
over 10000 children in New York
City and that occurs in less acute
form in other communities of the
state. AS 10 Governor Millers
habit, he did not promise miracles
or leap to any conclusion. He ana
lyzed the situation, stated broadly
the root of the evil as "too much
local political influence in the
schools" and promised speedy So
luton. II say that the needs of the
schools are first" summed up the
principle by which light must be
sought.
That principle is at the other pole
from the view of Hylanism in this
city. There is money for henchmen,
money for relatives Of the admiris-
tration, money for the Mayors cab-
met, money for anything by which
a politicians pocket may be stuffed,
and next to no money for new
schools. "The schools last" has
been the Tammany theory, and Mr..
Aylan has made it his own.
The remedy may be difficult to
find, but the citizens of New York
can rely upon Governor Miller to
find it. To give the Board of Edu-
cation complete independence from
the Board of Estimate may help
toward solution; though as long as
Mr.. Hylan is Mayor it is hard to- see
much hope in this change. 1t must
always be remembered that the
Board of Education has never been
and is not to-day a city body. 1t is,
Ike every other Board of Education
in New York, answerable directly
to the state. Our educational sys-
tenn recognizes the need Of local
control in education, but it largely
divorces that control from other
local governmental processes. A
more complete divorce than now
exists might we'll mean moro and
better schools for New York City. 1t
IS good to know that Governor
Miller is fully awake to the grave
problem that is worrying the citi-
zens of New York City and that
they can rely upon him to seek for a
Just and swift remedy.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-23
The Halt in DefIation

Professor Charles j. Bullock, chair
man of the Harvard Committee On
Economic Research, predicts that
commodity prices will not decline to
the pre-war level in the next ten
years. If we assume that the fore
cast is accurate, would the condition
be favorable or unfavoxable to the
community?
Stable prices are more to be de-
sired than either rising prices or
falling ones, as such. Widely fuctu-
ating prices constitute a factor
OF tremendous uncertainty, which
checks the initiative of business men
and eventually works substantial So
cial injustices. If every individuals
income, in the form Of wages or in
terest on investments, rose in exact
relation to prices, an upward squirt
in market values would be largely
without social significance. But
when prices rise sharply school
teachers salaries, subway fares, in
come on the endowment Of universi-
ties and churches remain as thew
We're, and thus the purchasing
power of such individuals and insti-
tut'ons is ruthlessly lowered.
Imitation, which is ACCOMPANIED by
general upturn in commodity quo
tatlons, in effect cuts down the true
value OF life insurance policies, saw
lngs bank accounts and bonds and
mortgages. The great non-specula-
tive classes--the professional folk.
the guardians Of public service insti-
tutions and the small savers who
pstronize savings banks and building
ana loan associations-are chiefly
! affected by the diminished capacity
OF money to command goods at the
market place. Conversely, such
groups were helped by the marked
'ali IN prices between the spring of
i92o and the summer of 1921.
But falling prices are far from an
nnnixed blessing. The phenomenon
q receding quotations tends to para
. lyze business, since buyers are in
eiined to wait for still further de-
elines. Falling prices thus NOT only
send TO wipe out profits for capital
lists but also have tendency to
throw tremendous masses of work
tngnaen out Of employment and to
reduce the wages Of those who re-
main on the job. A decline In the
commodity price level also plays a
: capricious role in making the load

example: If a farmer borrows 81 .0oc
when wheat is quoted at So bushe]

Navy Day and Roosevelt

The selection of October 27, Pres
ment Rooseyelt's birthday, as Navy
Day IS altogether appropriate. His
interest in the navy dated back to his
college days, when he was preparing
the material for his History of the
Navai War of 1872" AS Assistant
Secretary of the Navy and later as
President he was one of the most
ardent supporters of strong and
efficient navy. He knew that Amer
lea IN order to take her place in the
world must have a powerful feet.
Ore OF the principal purposes of
Navy Day is to keep alive the popu,
lar interest in naval affairs. AS q
natural reaction to the Washingtor
conference people have been inclined
to put the navy opt Of their ninds
Delighted with The cnrtailment oil
the naval race, they have given little
thought to the obligations and re-
sconsibilities which have arisen as q
result Of the 5--5--3 ratio. This
places a limit on Increase. but it does
not limit decrease, and the country
is therefore faced with the danger OF
falling SO far below the allotted ratio
that it will lose the principal advan-
ia oea nf fhe naval Ji,ssi+a45anr +raaf,
There is little doubt that If Presi-
dent Roosevelt were alive he would
enter heartily into the spirit of Navy
Day. No one realized more clearly
the dangers Of allowing the navy to
decline. His criticism of Jefferson
and Madison for permitting the ma
ticnal defenses TO be unduly weak
ened before the War Of 1912 was
much like his attacks upon Wilson

Flinnfla,r, and Fact

Iaklng budget, appropriation allo
expenditure figures for the last four
years, a shiilful partisan can get out
of them almost any result he wants.
The figures lend themselves to con-
fusing manipulation. And when one
Governors record is compared with
another's there is the added compli-
cation that the political year is not
identical with the fiscal year. A
new state administration comes in
On January /, but the fiscal year does
not begin until the following July /.
For example, the Legislature and
Governor in Office in 1922 are re
sponsibie for appropriations which
run until June so, 1923.
There is still another invitation to
shifty comparisons. Appropriations
fer any year are usually in excess of
actual expenditures for that year.
The unwary can be taken advantage
of by comparisons which confuse
these two sets OF totals in the inter
est of one party or the other.
Certain fundamental facts stand
out, however. Let US take the ap-
propriations made by the legislatures
Of 1919, 1920, 1921 and 1922. The
first two years Governor Smith pre-
sented the budget and had veto
power over appropriations. In the
last two Governor Miller assumed
similar responsibilities. The totals
are: 1912, S95,S4o,983; 1920, Sl45,-
219,9o6; 1921, sl45.798,092; 1922,
S139, 9,253,4 The expenditures for
the last three fiscal years were:
l919'20, s93,924,215; 192o-'21, $780,
6o8,l74; i921-'22, s126,669,l72. The
expenditure for l922-'23 can only be
estimated. 1t will probably be
smaller than that for i921-'22.
1t is clear that state expenditure
was enormously inflated during Gov
ernor Smiths term. Apl lropriations
were increased more than $40, ,00o,-
o00-ahout SO per cent. Expendi-
lures also rose about 80 per cent.
Governor Miller came in ind applied
tho brakes. Had he been as easy
going rs Mr.. Smith the appropria-
tions of 1921 would have gone over
s20o,oo0,00o. lie not only called a
halt on further infetion---a most
difficult thing to do--but he actually
started {. defiation, as comparison
OF expenditure totals shows.
That is Governor Miller's great
achievement. He turned back the
spenders. He Is trying to put state
finance on a pre-war basis. In the
field of administrative economy Mr.
Smith is simply not in the Mile,
class. That is history as written II
the Albany records. No amount O.
sophistication can cover over tn.
fact that Mr.. Smiths second yea,
marked the peak of high cost of gov
ernnent and that under Governo
Miller the Influences which were he
nInd cumulative extravaganza wer
routed and excess costs have bee

New-York tribune., 1922-10-23
Poison Pie Insurance

Delieatessen shops and hotels are
now taking out "poison pie insur-
ance" to protect themselves against
/ the vengeance of patrons made ill
by eating impure fooi--"pie" being
| used in this sense to cover every
thing from oysters to nesselrode.
| We have heard too much about per-
sons who lunched disastrously on
"hot dogs" or goulash, about banquet
parties broken up by the ambulance,
about children taken with convul-
sions in school after eating lollypops
mixed with powdered glass or candy
containing pins. Hence the estab-
lishment Of pure food insurance will
be welcomed as fresh guaranty Of
good intentions on the part of the
ever-increasing number of those
who feed the public. The pure food
law sets an excellent standard, but
it is difficult to enforce. Moreover,
though a kitchen be equipped with
100 per cent pure food product o-9
though it measure up to all the
specifications of the Board OF 44east.l,
still accidents will occur that may
render the dinner fatal. There's
many slip 'twixt the icebox and
the lip.
The best way Of enforcing clean
illness and decency in public kitchens
is to make neglect costly for the
management. This the outraged
public has been able to accomplish
through suits for DAMAGES a~d
these have become so common
and so uniformly successful thi.. .sle
proprietors now take out insurance
policies.
This, unfortunately, is scant COM
fort for the sufferer. How much
more direct it would be for those
who eat in doubtful places to take
out the insurance themselves! "Ham
and" would then mean a ham
sandwich and insurance to cover two
days of ptomaine. Menu cards
would read "Oyster supper-with
near beer-s2.5o; with insurance,
$2.75." And when the millenri,,n
arrived we should have boarding
houses issuing weekly or season poll
cies, guaranteeing to protect the
family not only against the inroads
of ptomaine and typhoid, but against
dyspepsia, cold coffee and prune pie.

would bring the city to the verge Of
bankruptcy.
Final action on the budget will be
taken October 81. In the mean time
the board will hold public hearings,
at which the harried taxpayers will
have their last opportunity to de-
fend their pocketbooks against the
Tammany raiders.
The Tribune trusts that such an
array of organized opposition will
be presented at these hearings as to
convince even Mr.. Hylan and his as
sociates that when liberality with
other peoples money reaches the
point of unbridled extravaganza it ia
time to reconsider.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-23

] tho 1913 price level, would add enor-
snously to the burdens Of all the ma
tions and individuals who incurred
debts during the war years and the
subsequent period Of imitation.
Any major readjustment Of the
price level not only turns ordinary
commerce into excessive speculation
i but also puts disproportionate hard
ship on special classes of the conn
nlunity. An equilibrium of prices, in
| which the normal ratios among diff
fcrent kinds Of commodities are
maintained, is much to be desired.
The rebound Of agricultural quota
tions Of the last year has placed the
| farmer on better footing. Incon-
sistencies in the existing price level
which make rubber and leather sell
below pre-war levels, whereas the
average Of commodity prices is so
per cent above, are an influence
militating against the freest flow of
goods through commercial channels.
Though commodity prices in the
United States, on the average, are,
as result of the recovery since mid
summer of 1921, perhaps 30 per cent
above the 1913 level, they are far
below the peak of 1920, when they
were nearly two and one-half times
the pre-war figure.
Professor Bullock does not expect
q recurrence of the experience Of the
nineteenth century, in which after
wars and periods Of imitation prices
would drop back to their former
levels. America, transformed by the
war from a debtor to creditor ma
ton, is now in the status of the
worlds economic leader, being the
greatest reservoir Of available raw
materials. The present continuous
influx of gold from abroad, Mr.. Bull
lock rightly points out, is factor
making for high prices. Prices rise
and fall in response to a great COM
pick of worldwide economic forces.
Yet an utter feeling of fatalism in
the matter need not exist. The
human will can exert measurable
influence on the ebb and flow of
prices, and the volition of the Amer
ican nation, as expressed through
the partial control which is vested in
the Federal Reserve Board at Wash
ington, can be made more articulate
than that Of any other nation.
