Richard Croker

Richard Croker's death has moved
many who knew him in his prime as
a Tammany autOcrat to pay tribute
to certain of his personal qualities
his infexible will, his capacity for
organization and leadership, his
fidelity to promises and his ruthless
confidence in his own judgment and
methods. Croker had the grit and
physical courage Of succeasful
graduate from the rough school of
East Side life and politics Of half a
century ago lie had been a bruiser
in his youth. He was once tried for
killing a political opponent in an
election brawl. He knew the seanly
side of New York. He believed that
the seamy side ought to have that
say in politics to which its ability to
control election machinery in the old
days entitled it.
In that sense he was democratic in
feeling. In every other sense he
was quite undemocratic. His ideals
were feudal. lie was an advocate
If rule from the top. He fitted into
Iammany Hall because the Hall was
an association for common benefit.
/. was not in politics for its health
or for the advantage Of the COM
munity. Working for distractions
like civic progress and cleauness or
.ne advancement oil the city ma
.cgiai interests was out Of It's line.
Tammauy always expected to govern
and 20 take toll for governing. And
taking toll was the main thing. 81
work for NJ pocket all the time. ="
Croker said coolly to the Mazct in
yestigating committee.
His rule lasted long and he grew
rich and powerful. He intruded oc-
casionally even into national politics
One Of the curious alliances Of a
odartec Of century ago was that Of
Croker and William J. Bryan.
Tammany welcomed Bryan when he
invaded "thc cncmy's country i'm
1896. He praised Croker. and

flonal Convention ir tQOO ord Ic,,t

stalls an electric not plate IN an apart

the claim is made that it comes under
the tenement house law and requires
fireproofing The halls and installing

elcctric not platos) is perfectly safe as

Of tenants, but becomes dreadful fro
trap and danger to the lives OF ta'
occupants if there are electric ho'
plates.
The shortage of housing space h"
produced thousands OF these recon-
verted studio apartments, and they are
increasing in number. We think
is about time that some sections OF tns

Since the publication in January Of
President Lowells report questioning
the soundness o. college sports policy
in this country sentiment among the
undergraduates of Harvard has become
fairly well crystallized on the subject.
The college daily, "The Crimson" has
kept the matter before the eyes Of the
students continuously for the last three
months and public opinion at the uni
versity is now taking definite form
"The Crimson" together with "The Yale
News" and "The Daily Princetonian," >"
has suggested some very radical
changes, especially in regard to foot
ball. Two of these proposals-those
dealing with tho abolishment Of pre-
college football practice in the fall and
the so-calicd intersectional games
have been favorably received by large
percentage Of the student body. The
/ other recommendations have rot had
much support.
Two Of these latter advocate more
stringent regulations for sports eligibil-
jty and transferring from one college
to another. But the Harvard under
graduate believes that the present
rules for eligibility and transfers, if
! adhered to strictly, are entirely ade-
Quate.
The third proposal-namely, that no
coach shall sit on the side line bench
or communicate with the players on
the field or bench during the periods
OF pay-has been dismissed by
student opinion as impractical The
suggestion that organized scouting for
football should be abolished has also
brought forward few advocates. At
present q frank understanding as to
scouting exists among colleges. All

WET Rallies in Vain

10 the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: No one was surprised by the
size OF the recent gathering in Car
negie Hall in opposition to the Eigh-
teerth Amendment and the Volstead
act. At the beginning o. the Civil War
New York City could muster big
crowd indorsing secession in opposition
to the purpose Of Lincoln and the na-
ton to put down the rebellion. No;
numbers in the wrong only empha size
the magnitude Of the evil and increase
the determination to overcome it.
We recently heard Prohibition Officer
Cone speak on the Eighteenth Amend
ment. He denounced the hypocrisy of
the clamor from Interested sources for
hight wines and beer. He said: at Is
necessary only to drink more wine than
whisky to get the same amount Of alco
hol and consequent drunkenness.
Quite absurd was the charge that
900 (the prohibition vote at the
last national elcction) had put the
i
people. Prohibition was the growing
sentiment Of the best men in all par
ties, and multitudes who did not be-
iieve in a Prohibition party were de-
voted anti-liquor men. AS to the Anti
Saloon League, it has done great
work with the approval and support of
our best citizens, found for the most
part IN our various churches. A great
task demands many workers who make
their service therein their daily busi-
ness and, necessarily. their support
Preachers Of the Gospel are uriycr-
sally paid, except in an obscure sect
for they must live and pay their debts
or be disgraced. st. Paul declared that

live Of the Gospel"

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
It Must Be Something Else

1t Must Be Something Else
Though Bobbie Burns was not a
TO take his pleasure dryly,
he came of a hard headed clan
Uncommon shrewd and willy.
And when the highly gifted Scot
Made verse to flow and ripple,
We may be certain it WAS not
With tipple.
Lord Byron sometimes took a
drink
His bitter lot to soften.
Indeed, we have been led to think
He took one rather often.
But when he tore his curly locks
To get his inspiration
He never got it through intox~
Ication.
Though Shelley looked upon the
cup
When sad and melancholic,
He didn't use his evenings up
In pleasures alcoholic.
His magic verse. in which we see
His skill and genius mingled,
We know were never penned
when he
Was iingled.
And so though Ny. Quiller Couch
Insists when nations Danish
The demon rum and cut out

Their literature Will vanish;
And though our poets may be

And lacking in ambition,
We don't believe its due 20 pro

Canada 8 Army

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: "The Toronto Globes" com
ment YOU reprinted in o-day's issue
headed "Canadas Army" is very peril
nent. Why can Canada get along with
an army Of only 1000 men? Is it not
because she is practically free from
outside aggression, having the protec-
tlon Of England as dominion and
that of the United States because of
the Monroe Doctrine? Way not helr

such joint action? When providence

power the parable OF the talents shows
that there is as much condemnation at

public France of aid if she is unjustlv
