Signs of Sanity in City Hall.

A representative of the New York
municipal administration has con-
ferred with the Transit Commission,
his apparent intention being to learn
what plans that body has under con-
sideration for the Improvement of
passenger transportation facilities in
the city.
This is a hopeful sign, even if it
does not mean that Mayor HYLAN is
reconciled to the Transit Commission
or that he has become conscious of
the possibility that his legal attacks
on the commission may fail. At the
very least it gives evidence of recog-
milton in City Hall of the intimate
relations existing among the three
agencies to which the State has com
mitted the solution of New York city's
transportation problem.
Mayor HYLAN has heretofore refused
to recognize the Transit Commission,
just as he has refused to work in
harmony with the Port Authority.
Having brought himself to a frame
Of mind in which the existence of the
Transit Commission falls within his
range of observation, he may eventu-
ally achieve a state of mind in
which cooperation with the Port Au-
thority will not be an impossible
task for him.
If this comes about, if the city,
the Transit Commission and the Port
Authority get together in harmony
ana good feeling. New York city
should get a transportation system
comprehensive. all inclusive and gen
orally capable of serving the greatest
city in the world.

Federal Courts Buster.
Nearly $4,000 More Cases Pending
Than One Year Ago.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
Docket, issued by the West Publishing
Company. publishers of the National Re-
porter system. estimates that at the
close of the fiscal year of 1921 there
were nearly $4,000 more cases pending
and undecided in the Federal courts
than at the end of the previous year.
due in a very large measure TO the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol
stead act.
There are seventy-eight Federal dis
tricts in the United States, each with q
district court, a court of original 5uris-
diction. Some of these districts, like
the southern district OF New York. have
additional judges. total Of sixteen. so
that there arc now ninety-four judges
of district courts. and the Attorney-Ge
eral is proposing eighteen new judges
at large. to have the powers of district
judges and to form a sort of flying
squadron, to be used wherever the need
Is greatest. This would give a total
working force Of ia judges in the Fed
eral court of original Jurisdiction.
Assuming the increase to be $4,000,
we have an average of 210 cases FOR
each one of these judges during the
year. or about one case day for the
juridical days of the year. This, or
course. makes no provision for taking
care of the old cases. and it is obvious
that the increase is going on. Many
of these cases involve jury trials extend
ing into weeks, and the system must be
greatly enlarged or 1t will break down
under the load.
In the meantime it is becoming clear
that Federal juries are even moro re-
luctant to convict for violations of the
volstead act than juries from the I'M
mediate locality of the culprit, and every
failure to convict adds to the disrespect
for the law AS Buckle says, How ao-
solutely essential it Is that the desire
for Improvement should in the first
place proceed. from the people them
selves The movement to be effective
must emanate from within and not from
without. it must be due to general
causes acting on the whole country and
not to the mere will Of a few powerful
individuals" AANoNi.

The DrIfter's Dream.

Beyond the rising Of the sun
A golden glory beclsons me;
Beyond the western horizon
Fate bids me fare across the sen.
The sultry skies Arabian
Allure me and the shifting sand
Awaits my desert caravan
There in tho 'witohing. golden land.
Fair are the sea-girt Isles that smile
Beneath tho tropics azure skies.
Where banyan trees to shades beguile
The sloe-eyed maids OF paradise.
There feathered songsters. and awning
CaJole me with their ecstasy;
Across the seas their songs they ning
Unto the recreant heart of me.
Aloof. l wait in solitude
with arms outreaching to them all
Whilst here In melancholy mood
/ sigh for each sweet-scented mall.
They all were. ah so dear to me
In happy days when life was fair.
To dream OF them brings cheer TO me-
But I am here and they arc there.

Ferry Houses Frightened.
White Paint Inside and Out Adds
Cheer and Saves Money.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: I wish
70 express my qualification regarding
the use Of white paint In the ferry ter
minals of New York harbor. Publicity
in favor OF the general use of white
paint In our gloomy ferry houses. be-
lieve, induced Commissioner whalen to
order white paint inside and outside OF
the ferry houses--a work which Is now
under way at South Ferry and ST.

Tho South Ferry waiting rooms now
show the beauty OF their design ana
construction. Commuters can read their
newspapers without carrying pocket
electric lights.
/ trust that tho city administration
will never go back TO dark, absorbing
colors Now I am taking up with Com
missioner Whalen the economies achieved
by this innovation. Experts tell me that
the general use of white paint will save
at least 25 per cent in the cost Of light

There were great stage drivers in

DEMMING weighed 465 pounds, ac-

up to stage station, throw down

Our Trade Investments.

More than all the tariff schemes

and other forms of paternalism can

of increasing our investments abroad.
Despite the wide range of foreign
loans which have been placed in this

investment field has so far only been

the national income of the United
States was S60,O0O,000,O in 1918.
II was estimated that OF this S45,-
0o0,O00.0O0 was spent by the 22,500,-
600 families for living expenses; Fed
eral, State and local taxes absorbed
$1,000, 100000. Thus only $4,000, ,000,-
200 or less than II per cent. Of the
total national income was saved for
new construction and foreign invest

than 20 per cent. of the national in

Baron Rosen's Faith in Russia.

The death Of Baron ROMAN r.
RosEN, formerly. the Cars Ambassa-
dor to America, breaks one of the
links between this country and the
old Russia. AS Charge d'Affaires, as
Consul-General in New York and
finally as Ambassador, 1905-1911,
Baron RosEN did much to uphold
the historical friendly relations be-
tween the United States and the
Cars empire. He had an active
part in the Portsmouth negotiations
between Russia and Japan. He was
Ambassador when the Russian Gov
ernment approved the Knox proposal
for Chinese ownership Of the Man
churian railroad.
AS a convinced advocate OF world
peace he is generally reported to
have used his influence with the Gar
on many occasions against war.
Baron RosEN was moderating in.
fluence in the growing tension be-
tween the United States and Russia
which resulted from discriminatory
treatment OF Jews of American citi-
zenship in Russia. But the Cars
Government was unbending. Baron
RosEN, unable either to turn the tide
of opinion in America or to induce
his Government to be more concilia-
tory, was recalled, and few months
after he left Washington in 1911 our
treaty of 1882 with the Cars Gov
ernment was abrogated by the United
States. This incident marked the
impairment of friendly relations
which for generations had been unin-
terrupted between the great autoc-
racy and the great republic and
which had been marked not only by
words but by deeds.
Baron RosEN had complete conf
dence that the Russian people would
find solutions for their present prob
lens, solutions not based on the
communistic methods Bolshevism so
long proclaimed. Perhaps had hts
life been prolonged a comparatively
short time he might have seen the
justification of his confidence, for the
present developments in Russia
strongly support his opinion.

Town Hall History First!

The Mayors Commissioner of Ac-
counts, who recently became a criti-
cal reviewer of school histories OF
the United States. now hints that he
will write one OF these histories him
self. There is no objection to Mr..
HIRsHF1ELD's taking a plunge into
this literary field at the proper time.
But Commissioner HIRsHFIELD has
another assignment from the Mavor
that should come first.
This more important work is the
investigation Of the Town Hall out
rage of November 13, when the police
clique violated the constitutional
rights of a number Of citizens by
raiding a public meeting and pre-
venting that freedom Of speech to
which every American is entitled.
Since that alarming event the police
clique has gone through the farce Of
investigating itself and trying to be-
fog the issue. Responsibility for the
outrage has not been fixed officially.
A lively man like Commissioner
HIRsIIFIELD ought to be able to get
all the facts in the Town Hall case
in less than a week. But until he
gets these facts and shows up the
guilty and their motive for muzzling
citizens he should not begin his ad-
venture in history writing. An Off
cial who had the opportunity to in
vestigate rank violation of the Con-
stitution and did not take immediate
advantage of it would not be a fit
man to write American history.
