Bad Things as Well as Good Brought
by the Worlds Progress.

To THE NEW York HERALD: One OF
your correspondents points the finger or
scorn at the good old days and asks
what day In the past was better than
the day upon which he wrote and why.
In reply will say that in my humble
opinion any day In the United States
from January /. 1900. TO January /,
1900, was better because between
those dates tho automobile. the flying
machine, the submarine boat the teie-
phone and the typewriter either had
not yet been invented at all or had not
developed to the present stage of per-
fection. Most OF these inventions have
been potent causes of crime. extrava-
ganco and general Generalization as
well as means OF commercial advantage.
pleasure and convenience. Also horri-
blo jazz music, horrible jazz dancing.
horrible jazz literature, horrible jazz
drama and horrible jazz manners had
not yet been invented.
Then, too, between those dates the
standard of business honesty and honor,
generally speaking. was far higher than
IL is now.
Between those dates. too. politics, ma
tional. state and municipal. was not 80
utterly demoralized and the people we're
not groaning under such terrible bur-
Den OF taxes.
In other words. while I will admit
that the time In which we live Is won
derful mechanical age and that we have
many conveniences undrcamed of in the
good old days. It seems to me TO be an
ago very sadly lacking in the finer and
better things OF life--tho things OF the
spirit. r. D. M.

The Fordneys.

II the citizens Of the country who
sixteen months ago gave President
HARDING popular majority of seven
millions OF votes turn their faces
away from his party it will be because
Of its Fordneys.
The chairman OF the Ways and
Means Committee and the bonus Re-
publican Congressman who are at
tempting a five billion dollar raid
on the Treasury are doing their best
to turn the Government over to the
Democrats.
The Republican party in its ma
tional platform pledged itself to
economy in the administration OF
the Government and to encourage re-
turn to normal business conditions.
Instead of trying to save every
dollar to tighten the already stag
gering financial load OF the Govern
ment and make it easier for the av-
erage citizen to meet the still abnor-
NAL cost OF living, the Fordneys In
the Republican party are madly in
tent on bankrupting the Treasury.
While the Democratic members of
Congress are not without due regard
for the ballot box, it is fact that
in this bonus raid they have shown
up much better as a whole than the
Republican Congressman have as a
whole.
BY excluding the Democratic mem
bers of the Ways and Means Com
mittee from the conferences that pro-
duced the insincere bonus projected
by FoRDNEY on Tuesday the Repub-
lican majority has reestablished the
archaic process of welding the po-
litical bludgeon.
BY ignoring the wise counsels of
the President the Fordneys are
wrecking the Republican party. The
insistent bonus raid Of FoRDSEY and
his faithfuls of the Ways and Means
Committee is embittering the respon.
sible citizenship Of the whole coun.
try, on the farms, in the shops, in
commerce everywhere that the pinch
Of Government pressure is felt
through excessive taxation.
A little more Treasury raiding, a
little more bludgeon politics, and the
matchless seven million popular ma
jority of the Republican party in the
last Presidential election will bury
the Republican party in the mex!
election.

the plans. including revolving tur-
ret, which THEODORE M. TIMBY of New
York submitted to the War Depart

the Ericsson craft that when the
Monitor was built it was thought
advisable to buy the Timby patents.
But, like all the great in creative

GREEK TENoR,s CONCERT.

Ulysses Lappas. a Greek tenor. who
was heard here several times this sea-

and later In the Caruso Memorial Foun-
dalton concert at the Hippodrome. gave
q recital at Town Hall last night. He
sang to a large audience which was
largely composed OF his countrymen.
The recital did not begin until about
o'clock.
Mr.. Lappas's numbers included airs
from "Tosca" and Carmen" a selec-
tion entitled "Philimenr' by Sakel-
larides, also one called "Examologhis-
sis by Samara and several Greek folk
songs His delivery was frequently on
a massive, dramatic plane. both In voice
and style. His stage manner lacked

His numbers aroused great enthusiasm.

Hylan on the Bonus.

Mayor HYLAN's .ong letter to THE
New YORK HERALD on the bonus, pub.
lished yesterday in this newspaper
is characteristically inaccurate and
Enthusiastically fragile. In respect
of his facts the Mayor is careless
The Mayor is no stickler for non.
essentials. Facts are not easily alb
sorbed by the casual reader. More
over, facts are SO inflexible that they
spoil the flow Of fervid appeal. The
Mayor Is always flexible in dealing
with figures as he is in denuncia
tion. 1t is in denunciation that the
Mayor hits high &C."
What the Mayor said in support Of
the bonus is not convincing. M
more is what he said about the banks
and bankers convincing. Let us
quote the Mayor:
'iAt the outbreak OF the European
war the firm Of J. p. MORGAN & Co.
had about s3oo,ooo,OOO invested in
foreign securities, principally Brit
fish. The collapse OF the British
Empire would have ensailed the
impoverishmcnt OF the House of
Morgan. These investments as we'll
as other foreign investments OF the
international bankers needed tho
protection OF tho United States Gov
ernment. These bankers saw to 1t
that this protection was extended
through the strong arms OF our army
and navy. And so. we had a rich
mans war and a poor mans fight.
THE private bankers fee. that the
surest way TO get back the huge sums
which they loaned to Europe. besides
receiving enormous bonuses for tho
loans. is 10 postpone or cancel the
payments OF the foreign debts due to
tho United States Government.
"You may search the length and
breadth OF the land but you will not
find a single one OF these bankers,
who were among the shrieking swivel
chair patriots. struggling about on
crutches or with empty sleeves pinned
to their breasts"
THE NEW YORK HERALD on investi
CATION finds wide discrepancy be
tween these utferances OF the Mayor
and the facts.
II is to be observed that the Mayor
says: AT the outbreak of the Euro
pean war the firm Of J. p. MORGAN
& Co. had about 100000 invested
In foreign securities, principally
British" On the contrary as we are
informed from perfectly authorita
tive sources, j. p. MORGAN q Co. had
no In, estments in foreign securitie:
at the outbreak OF the European war
The Government of Great Britain
owed no money in America. II was
all the other way around.
At the outbreak of the war, accord
ing to the best estimates available

have no standing in any court as
worth while evidence and has no
standing with the American people

she doesn't like our American

To THE NEW York HERALD: TIER,

known to all the non-farming public
the fact that the depressed conditions
in business which now prevail could
have been prevented and can now be
quickly alleviated by a profitable pro-
duction of all farm products for the
farmer; that this can be accomplished
by the farmers as class obeying an
intelligent guidance of acreage plant

a standardized one price. with a rea-
sonable profit in the markets: and that
the cost of all food to the consumer
would be very much lessened thereby.

BERLIN, Feb. Without the Unit

stabilizing the economic situation of
the world is bound to fail, according to
Vice Admiral Hollweg, discussing the
conference for the limitation OF arma-

fact that the United States. rich in

EXPERTS DISCUSS
VARIOUS TARIFFS
Explanation of Different Plans
Is Made to Decide Upon
ene Mg8t Favorable.
tsy The Associated Prsss,


WASHINGTON. FEB. Half a dozen
or more experts discussed the various
tariff valuation plans for several hours
today before republicans members of the
Senate finance committee, but at the
finish sentiment among the senators APP
parently was no nearer capitalization
than it was before. Some committee
men thought a decision might be reached
within a few days. but others thought it
would be put off for a week or more
until consideration of specific rates in
the bill had been concluded.
The discussion today, which was be-
hind closed doors, was said to have COW
cred the whole range of plans suggested,
including that in the Fordney bill which
was endorsed in a memorial adopted by
the national association of manufacturers
in convention here yesterday and pre-
sented today to the majority committee
men by ]. L. Edgerton, Of Nashville,
Tenn president Of the association. The
experts still are divided as between the
several proposals and some senators said
that after listening tc their statements,
they were il anything, less determined
as to which plan should be adopted.
The majority members expect to get
through with the specific rates in a short
time. They have been converting ad va
loren duties into specific rates wherever
possible with a view to making more
simple the administration of law and
some estimated that fifteen percent of the
ad yalorem rates had been so converted.
