Practical Objections to President

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Presi-

that the privileges of higher education

the fortuitous circumstance of the pos
session of wealth. but to men intel

haps because we have no way of telling
whether we derive more benefit from
the mediocre. who sometimes hit upon
valuable truths, or from the intellec-
tually superior. There Is probably not
a man in the world who believes THAI
intellectual equality could ever exist
but who is willing to have it asserted
that he himself is of the hopelessly
mediocre group.
President Hopkins also discourses on
the importance of seeking the truth.
Truth can always bear examination. and
the best way to reach sound thinking
is for opposing groups to meet regularly
in public to debate matters OF vital Inn
portance. A man who is intellectually
honest and has confidence in the sound
ness of his views should welcome the
opportunity to defend those views pub
licly, face to face with an opponent.

Behind the Scenes.
The Proprieties Observed During Re.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Recently.
when a new line of business called upon
me to make numerous visits behind the
scenes OF theaters as we'll as to wit
ness rehearsals, / learned things that
have quite convinced themselves that
the stage needs reforming.
One of the first things that struck me
was that whenever there was kissing
scene OF any sort in drama it was
eliminated II within reason possible. And
one OF the next was that where such
scenes are inevitable they were never
rehearsed unto an actual point of con-
tact between lips. simply for the com
ested more than professionally in each
other find osculation boresome as well
as distasteful.
/ was present behind the scenes
throughout three musical show rehears-
ais when scores of young women stood
around in the same scanty attire which
sometimes arouses protests. yet moi
once during the entire experience did
see so little as even stagehand gazC
at one of these women, and 1 am con
vinced that If one had so far forgotten
himself he would have found himself
spinning around and around in a gyra-
ton due TO half n dozen number ter
shoes until he landed with an impact
in n nearby gutter.
My conclusions were that il laxity

Copeland on Kitchen Issues.

The Democratic candidate for
United States Senator continues his
unparalleled campaign. Yesterday
DR.. COPELAND uttered challenge to
the electorate. do you make the
best use of the kitchen essences"
1t takes a bold man to go right into
the heart of things like this, but the
choice Of the Syracuse convention
makes no compromise with custom.
DR.. COPELAND utters truths which may
never have occurred to DANIEL.
WEBSTER or HENRY CLAY. Listen:
Appetite is strange thing. 1t
becomes jaded. especially If catered
to and pampered. 1t is particularly
fickle in persons who exercise so lit
tie that they never develop an honest
hunger for food. II we lived and
struggled as Nature planned we
would carry to the table such raven
Gus appetite as to make us eat any
thing which didn't bite us first"
This was not preliminary to an
attack on the beef tariff. 1t led
directly to the pantry shelf.
There are havoring extracts on
the market called Kitchen essences
They are intended chiefly for i'm
proving the taste Of meats, soups,
gravies and dressings. Some of
these essences are really extracts of
celery seed. Others are made from
the oil Of savory. Some contain bay
leaves. and still others are combina-
tions of these various extracts"
Who can deny a word of it? The
Special Interests must remain dumb
in the presence of this great ex-
FOUNDER of fact. More details! the
public will cry. Let us go on with
the Senatorial candidate:
"of course the most familiar Of
havorings with which we have TO
deal are vanilla. lemon. almond, ex-
tract of rose. peppermint, winter
green, extract Of nutmeg, ginger
cinnamon. cloves and cassia."
There's more spice in that one
sentence than the whole Democratic
platform contains. DR.. COPELAND

FRIDAY. OCTOBER c. 1922.
A Governor of Action.

In his speech in Brooklyn on
Wednesday night Governor MILLER
referred to the demand made in the
Democratic State platform for an
executive budget by constitutional
amendment"
The Governor disposed OF that
plank in one short sentence: 1--WE
have established a budget system
without waiting for a constitutional
amendment"
That is wholly true. 1t is strik-
ing reminder of the difference be-
tween the Miller administration and
the Smith administration.
Governor SMITH had some praise
worthy ambitions. One of them was
TO reduce State expenses by elimi-
mating useless departments and bu-
reaus and consolidating others. To
do this he called for Constitutional
amendments. They were not forth
coming. And he didn't reduce State
expenses. State expenses under
Governor SMITH increased and they
increased terrifically.
Governor MILLER recognized the
evils that Governor SMITH had COM
planned of. Instead of waiting years
for Constitutional amendments he
forced the machinery OF the State
to perform its necessary functions
without duplication and at the lowest
cost.
What Governor SMITH wanted to
do Governor MILLER did. Governor
MILLER saved; he saved millions.

Fire Prevention Advice.
Precautions for Householders to
Take When Lighting Furnace.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD The un-
necessary and appalling loss of life and
property by fire every year is largely
due 90 lack of forethought or downright
carclessness
Every householder. be lie owner or
tenant, has. particularly at this season
OF the year when boilers, furnaces and
stoves are about to he started, a re-
sponsibility that he cannot ignore If he
has care for the safety of the lives
of his family and his neighoor's family
and the conservation OF property.
few suggestions pertinent to Fire
prevention Week. with the householder
who is about to light his furnace fire
especially in mind, may be Of value.
/. See that all smokepipes and hues
are In proper condition before lighting
the fire. Look especially for rusted
spots and insecure supports.
9. See that all woodwork or other
infiammable material within a foot of
all fiues or two feet of furnaces or
stoves Is protected by galvanized iron
shields, asbestos board or the like.
3. Keep the first fire small until you
are sure everything is all right.
4. Watch your drafts. The under
draft left open at night has burned
down more than one house.
5. Clean up your cellar, removing all
loose papers. rags and rubbish. A large
proportion of fires start in cellars.
