The Five BarefoOted Boys Who Sang
"The Long, Long Trail.v

To THE New YORK HERALD: For an
entry in the competition over New Yorks
prettiest sight, inaugurated by Eliot
White. beg to offer the following:
Some years ago, when THE Long.
Long Trail" was new and popular, walk
ing one summer evening in Central Park,
just at nightfall. Y heard chorus of
high pitched young voices singing the
song at distance. I lay in wait for
view Of the singers, and presently they
appeared, five bareheaded and barefooted
young boys. walking abreast. their arms
twined around one another's shoulders,
singing Tho Long. Long Trail" at the
top of their unframed but wonderfully
vibrant voices: marching in perfect
rhythm with the song and utterly oblivi-
Gus of the rest OF the world.
There was a full moon straight ahead
of them, and as their voices mounted
with the words Where nightingales are
singing and white moon beams"
blackeyed boy at one end Of the line
appeared to discover It for the first time
and raised his disengaged arm in a sort
OF barbaric gesture to point 1t out to his
companions, whereupon all eyes were
raised to the orb and five enthusiastic
voices were addressed to 1t as the sing
ers swung past and out Of sight.
In regard to Mr.. Whites reference to
a London discussion of this same char
acter may I quote a passage from Bar
rie's Little White Bird" wherein that
author records his preference: quite
the prettiest sight in the gardens Is
when the babies stray from the tree
where. the nurse is sitting and are seen
feeding the birds, not grownup near
them. 1t is first a bit to me and then a
bit to you, and all the time such a jab-
bering and laughing from both sides Of
the railing. They are comparing notes
and .inquiring for old friends. and so on !;
but what they say 1 cannot determine,
for when I approach they all fly away"
New YORK, October 81. H. A. b.

Out of the four races sailed between
the Gloucester and Nova Scotia
schooners for the International Fish
ermen's Trophy the Henry Ford won
two and the Bluenose the same num-
ber. But as the committee in charge
Of the series declared the first race
on October 81 no contest the Blue
nose took the trophy. The decision
is probably as unsatisfactory to
Captain ANGUS WALTERS and his crew
as 1t must be to Captain MoRRIssEY
and his men on the challenger.
In the lighter airs Of October 21
and October % the Henry Ford
proved to be the faster craft, but when
1t came to turning to windward on
October 25 and October 26 the Nova
Scotia schooner was the better boat,
and this in spite of the fact that the
final race proved to be disappoint-
ment as fair contest through the
carrying away Of the topmast OF the
Henry Ford between the third and
fourth marks Of the course.
The two rival shippers were OF one
mind about the opening race-that 1t
was fairly won by the Gloucester
schooner, and this in spite OF the
actions of the official committoe both
at the start of the contest and toward
the finish, when it steamed home and
left the two schooners to end the
race without noting either the finish
or the time. On top of this attitude
Of the committee the official meas
urer bungled his figures so badly that
after causing the Henry Ford's sail
plan to be reduced once it was
found necessary to have another cut
made from the mainsail to make the
Gloucester schooner's spread of sail
come within the proper limits.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. DENNIS, the
donor Of the trophy, ever intended
that such an atmosphere of yacht
racing refinements should be brought
into these wholesome contests. Un-
questionably the actions Of the COM
mittee have brought an unpleasant
feeling into these races which it may
take more than year to wipe out.
No matter what the outcome Of the
promised match race between the
Mayflower and the Bluenose, every
body will be disappointed at the mis-
management Of the trophy series of
Cape Ann. Good fishing schooners
and good men aboard them have been
the victims of the wrong kind OF
official management.

Wage Farmers Helped by the Welfare
Legislation He Has Supported.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: Mrs. Ada
r. Wolff puts the facts accurately and
concisely when she says:
I'm Governor Miller's term women
have not been thrown out Of work
through economically unsound. unwanted
legislation, in contrast to Mr.. Smiths
record Of experiments in welfare at the
expense of wage earning women"
No statesman could have expressed II
better And again she says:
Governor Miller has helped the weak
children. cripples. insane---by the only
kind of legislation worthy the name Of
welfare; and he has refused to cripple
The strong by tapping their wages to
pay paternalistic commissioners"
It seems to me that every wage earn
ing woman who believes in a square deal
for all, and not special privileges for
some groups at the expense Of other
groups. should vote for Governor Millers
reelection. II ever a Governor has
shown strength Of character Governor
Miller has shown 1t by resisting weak.
emotional appeals for legislation that
was unwanted by those whom it was
supposed to beneft, but who in reality
would be It's victims.
For the first time In many years the
people of New York are receiving valu-
able instruction during a political cam
paign. We are not getting emotional
appeals but sound reasoning and infor-
nation from every speech made by Gov
ernor Miller. No fiattery. but simple,
plain reasoning and every day facts. He
should get the vote Of every intelligent
man and woman. A WOMAN VOTER.

A Governor With Moral Courage.

1t was in Buffalo that mob rule
under the strike excitement and in
citement of last summer began to
override local authority and all law.
No mans property woufd have been
secure, no mans life would have been
safe, no limit would have been
marked on mob violence il the law
less bands at Buffalo had been suf-
fered to go further than they did go
in the direction Of the crime and
brutality which stained Herrin, Illi-
nois, with an indelible stain.
But in the State OF New York no
free rein was given to mob lawless-
ness and mob violence. Upon the
appeal Of the local authorities Gov
ernor MILLER sent some Of the State
police to Buffalo and there was no
Herrin bursting beyond all control,
no Herrin butchery, no Herrin in
fanny. Buffalo was restored to its
normal state of law and order. human
life was inviolate and men were free
to follow their rightful pursuits.
And it was in Buffalo on Thursday
evening that some lingering remnant
of that mob element which had been
suppressed by the State police under
took to jeer Governor MILLER when
he was speaking of those events to
citizens among whom they had oc-
Cured. And this is what Governor
MILLER, the Governor who never
finches, squarely facing those who
jeered, thundered:
Eyes, I sent the police. The people
Of Buffalo knew they were mere.
Order was restored Riotlng ceased.
The lesson was learned and those Who
are now booing have not repeated
those acts of disorder.
"Incendiarism Is not to be stopped
by saying please but by command
ing respect for the law. So long as
I am Governor that will be done. To
those who do not want that done /
say do not vote for me. for as long
as / am Governor it will be done"
If the people Of New York do not
want a Governor like that to defend
them when their peace, their rights
and their Ii are endangered by
rufians beyond the pale, If the peo-
pie of New York do not want their
State Government to continue for an
other two years in the guardianship
of a man who always will stand
ready to protect the lives Of its citi-
zens and to preserve the honor Of its
name. then the people Of New York
are no longer the Americans, no
longer the citizens, no longer the
men they have been for long genera
tions in the face of disorder, turmoil
and danger. 4,-.

That Standard Oil Rent.
VIII the Company Really Lose

To THE NEW YORK UERALD: The Stand
ard Oil people must feel regrets when
they read in the newspapers that by
failure to pay In advance the sum Of

1920. instead of paying this sum three
months later. they will lose the enor-
nous sum of s6,5o0.o0O by the end Of a
ninety-nine year lease.
The computation seems to me a. little
shaky. for the reason that presuming all
other payments be made on time the
tenant can never be more than this one
quarterly payment behind. To liquidate
that will come to s62.5oo plus interest at
9 per cent. to the date of payment and

Tiding Henry Over.

Undoubtedly the most resourceful
man in New York is DoMINIcK HENRY,
Inspector of Police.
The people of this city knew that
when HENRY was temporarily out Of
the Police Department in 1920-being
under indictment for perjdry-he was
able to borrow" $500 from one of the
steamship companies.
They knew that about the same
time Inspector HENRY was able to
pay s21, 500 in cash to a brokerage
house for stocks.
They knew that when Inspector
HENRYs conviction was upset he was
reinstated with back pay.
They did not know, until 1t came
out in the bus investigation this
week, that the resourceful HENRY
during the time the strong arm Of
the law kept him out Of the Police
Department was the happy recipient
of one of the Hylan bus licenses.
Inspector HENRY says he got the
permit to operate a bus on Eighty
sixth street-one of the so-called
cream lines-from the secretary of
WHALEN, Mayor HYLAN's bus Com
missioner.
OF course the job was slyly done,
the permit being issued in woman's
name. And Of course it was all done
for a beautiful motive-to tide
HENRY over his suspension"
You see the steamship company
helped; and the Inspectors Wall
Street judgment helped; and the back
pay upon reinstatement helped; and
the Mayors bus line helped.
HENRY got away with almost every
thing he went after. Almost. we say,
because there was one large item
with which he did not get away.
When the inner Police Department
crowd, backed by the City Hall and
Tammany Hall gangs and assisted by
a few bargain hunting Republican
legislators in Albany, tried to put
across another big item to tide
HENRY over" the scheme failed.
The Legislature actually passed a
bill to reimburse Inspector HENRY for
the legal expenses he incurred in his
defense against criminal charges.
NATHAN L. MILLER vetoed that bill.
He "tided over" the taxpayers. But
that is the only known instance where
the resourceful DoMINIcK HENRY
failed to have the money tide rise
for his benefit.

and he tells the voters he favors
now a ship subsidy as the best way
to maintain an adequate merchant
marine. Representative LEE has been
a firm believer in the protective tariff
properly applied, but he voted against
the Fordney- McCumber tariff in Con-
gress and he tells the voters he Is
opposed to 1t now because of its
excessive duties on various essential
commodities.
Representative LEE voted in Con-
gress against the bonus measure and
he tells the voters he is opposed now
to an indiscriminate bonus to able
bodied ex-service men, but he "favors
the expenditure. IL necessary, Of the
last dollar of the nations money for
the proper care of disabled ex-service
men" He favors modification Of
the volstead act to permit the sale Of
light wines and beer and he tells the
voters so. but he tells them he is
against the return of the saloon and

Wonder If You Walk with Memory.

I wonder IL you walk with memory
Along the streets which we two used
to tread,
If 1t is yours to trace the golden
thread
OF vivid recollection till you see
Visions Of all the things which used to
be,
Or have you quite forgotten them in
stead,
Have life's new interests stretching on
Made all the past an unreality?
Perhaps they held no happiness for you,
These dear dead days which are so
faint and far,
And yet so near they seem as yes
terday;
To me they were as radiant as the dew,
Sweeter than lllacs blown by winds
of May.
And lighted by the luster OF star.
