Ousting the Old Post Office.

Congress has done its part toward
the removal of the old Pest Office
by passing the bill providing for the
of Federal commission
to exchange the land for new site
to be given by the city. With the
Presidents signing OF the bill and his
appointment of the commissioners
the real work of disposing of the
dingy building at the junction Of
Broadway and Park Row will begin.
New York will be glad to see City
Hall Parks old southern salient
cleared; pleased to gain more space
for pedestrians in this congested part
OF the town: thankful to have the
traffic perils of Mail street done away
with; and happy to view no more the
huge gray hulk of stone and slate
that has been a blot on the back
ground so many years.

Zita.

A world that has wept over the fate
of MARY STUART, CATHARINE OF Ara
gon and EUGENE surely has tear
for zITA of Bourbon-Parma, not yet
80 but widow with six young
children and one unborn; once an
empress, now an exile and in want.
Few have endured such misfortune
as has come to this young woman
since that day when the Archduke
CHARLES stopped pushing his baby
carriage in the parks of Vienna and
was called upon to rule an empire.
AS girl of 26 she matched her wits
against those masters of intrigue who
dominated the Germany of 1918. She
almost won. But CHARLES was weak
in the hands of the Prussian war
lords. He lacked the courage to go
through with his peace letter to her
brother Prince SIxTUs and. perhaps
for that reason more than any other,
he is to-day in his shroud in Fun
chal instead of on the throne of
Austria-Hungary.
In that thrilling and foolhardy
incursion into Hungary last October
ZITA, the co-leader, travelled at
CHARLEs's side in the airplane from
Switzerland into battle, capture and
exile. We find her in January racing
across Europe to the bedside Of her
sick son. She bore all her sor-
rows and disappointments without
bitterness"
More for you than for me-" ZITA
chose this motto for herself when she
was a young girl. Well IL not wisely
has she been steadfast to it.
The world may have gained little
n tranquility and order by CHARLEs's
death. 1t has gained much by that
example of devotion set by the ex-
pectant mother who offered her life's
blood to her husband as he lay on his
deathbed in that leaky rooted house
on Madeira. And there will be few
that will not indorse the plea of the
King OF Spain, expressed in letter
to the Pope, asking that steps be
taken to provide suitable support for
ZrTA and her children.

Obstacles Set by America in the Path

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t will

Booths Words.
A Widespread Legend About One Of
Those Who Heard Them.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: The let
ters you have been printing about John
Wilkes Booths cry after he shot Presi-
dent Lincoln suggest that one Of your
readers may clear up matter which
has puzzled me long.
This Is tho legend that somebody In
the theatcr said that Booth said "1'm
sick. send for McGinness!" The first
impulse OF course Is to dismiss the story
as cheap humor in bad taste, but I have
come across II among educated persons
as well az the uneducated. There can
be no question that 1t is a widespread
legend and commands belief 1t appears
in many forms. being attributed some
times to n stage hand, sometimes TO a
member OF the audience; sometimes the
person Is named and sometimes he IL
represented as testifyins in court or at
some inquiry.
What want to know is whether there
is any basis for this story. or IS 1t
simply bad joke which has lived.

disappointed DE- VALERA could over
throw the Government OF COLLINS
and GRIFFITH, there would be no re-
public. The destruction OF the Free
State Government would mean
the destruction OF the treaty between
Ireland and England 1t would mean
that Irelands new found freedom
would be lost.
1t is remarkable that the blowers
OF DE VALERA's bubbles should be able
TO pick up money in the United
States, for here every man and
woman who is interested in Ireland
knows that the treaty establishing
the Free State Government was ac-
cepted by a majority of the Sim
Fein Parliament; that it has the sup
port of the press and the clergy of
Ireland; that it holds out to Ireland
the only program of peace and pros
perity: and that it embodies greater
freedom for Ireland than GRArTAN,
O'CoNNELL or PARNELL ever dreamed
Of securing for his country.
Every dollar that is contributed to
make war on the Irish Free State
is a dollar given to take from Ire
land her new dignity and power.

Neither Sex Should Smoke.
Proposed Ban on Cigarettes for
Women Is Hereby Amended.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: There
are many good citizens who regret that
the ordinance preventing women from
smoking in public has not been passed
and enforced vigorously. However, the
fact that such a measure was consid-
cred by the Board of Aldermen Is en-
couraging and indicates that the time
is at hand when such an ordinance will
be enacted.
The constant use of tobacco, particu-
larly in cigarette form. is as much a
drug habit as the use Of opium and the
effects are very much the same as those
produced by opium. The medical pro-
fession defines these effects in this man
ner: AN unnatural sense of well being
and stimulation of the imagination pro-
duced by bunting the reason. Judgment
and memory" Such is the condition
of thousands of cigarette addicts who
smoke from five to twenty cigarettes
day.
The tobacco habit has become SO
prevalent with both sexes that the ef-
fects are more far reaching than is
generally realized: 1t is undermining
the moral and mental fiber of a large
proportion of our population. The abol-
ishment of the tobacco traffic is an in
evitable step in the line of progress.

forever and I do hereby nominate
and appoint the said MARY w. HAR-
RIMAN 10 be executor of this will"
Chief Justice WHITES will reads
as follows.
This is my last will. give, be-
queath and devise 10 my wife, LErrA
M. WHITE. in complete and perfect
ownership all my rights and prop
erty of every kind and nature,
whether real. personal or mixed.
wherever situated appointing her
executrix OF my estate without bond
and giving her seisin thereof"
There is no doubt but that short
will may often facilitate the dispo-
sition of an estate in accordance with
the testator's wish. There is always
the necessity OF following the State
law regarding the number of wit
nesses and the proper attestation.
One of the sources Of trouble in brief
testamentary documents, however, is
that they seldom contain alternative
provisions for the disposition of the
estate in case OF the death of the chief
beneficiary who is also named as ex-
ecutor, and for the appointment of
another executor.

Rival Giants.
Hammerstein's TalIest Mon Beat
Barnum's Exhibit by n Foot.

To THE New York HERALD II saw
the original Slamese twins. Chang and
Eng, when they were exhibited by Bar
mum in 1870 at the American Institute
Rink, Sixty-third street and Third ave-
nue.. Barnum himself was standing in
side near the entrance and shook hands
with me and other children as we
came in. .s
Along with other freaks shown were
Zip the What Is It? and the then we'll
known giant Goshen, said to be feet
tall. Years later Barnum exhibited
Chang the Chinese Giant, and during
the same time Chemah the Chinese
dwarf. Still later came Hugo. the eight
foot giant. Mr.. Augur. the giant on
exhibition this year with the Ringing
Brothers show, is said to be more than
feet tall. The largest man I ever
heard of was called Machnow, and was
at Hammerstein's. Forty-second street
and Seventh avenue. about 1908. He
was feet tall, and 1t was said that
he was afraid to go out for fear some
body would kill him. Several showmen
wanted to engage him. but could not get
him as he wanted to get back to his
home on the other side, which, IL re-
member right, was in Russia. The best
known OF all the skeletons ever on ex-
hibition was Coffee. the Skeleton Dude.
About 1907 there was novelty on tho

effect on spinach shipments or high
transportation rates. In the last
season the carload lots from Cali
fornia, which amounted in 191S-19 to
2S3. dropped TO 1877, and thus far in
1922 have been only 40.
Arizona and New Mexico have vir-
tually quit shipping spinach. Mis-
souri, went down from 259 cars in
1920-21 to. 1872 cars in 1922. Texas
dropped off some 400 cars, and 50
far even Virginia, which shipped
2,444 cars in 1920-21, has sent only
760 cars in the latter part of 1921
and 36S up to March in 1922, the
Virginia growers largely shipping by
boat from the Norfolk section.

Hylan Monday, Hylan Tuesday

The Register of New York county,
Miss ANNIE MATHEWS, went before
the Board of Estimate on Monday to
ask that the salaries Of two of her
clerks be increased to $1,944 a year.
Mayor HYLAN administered to Miss
MATHEWS what is vulgarly termed
a bawling out. We quote from the
EUening Posts report of his speech:
"You want to watch out for those
departmental politicians. You hadn't
ought to come here with such re-
quest and expect us to upset our
entire policy with regards to city
employees"
The next day Hizzoner, in order to
show that he was not influenced by
departmental politicians, appointed
the treasurer Of Tammany Hall,
CHARLES F. MURpHY's bosom friend
PHIL DoNoHUE, to place on the
Board of Water Supply at salary of
$4,000 year and with nothing
to do.
1t is one thing to affront woman
official and squeeze the pay of q
petty clerk. 1t is another thing to
please Boss and appoint his pal to
sinecure.

Congress and the Coal Strike.

Already Congress has its finger In
the coal strike situation, but if there
is one thing the mine owners, the
mine workers and the public need not
do it is to expect a settlement of the
nationwide coal strike from any Con-
gress investigation.
Congress committees always take a
long time to get to the bottom of any
industrial situation and after they
have uncovered the facts with weary
months of hearings and proddings as
frequently as not they don't know
what to do with them.
In the immediate future the coal
situation does not call for legislative
remedies but for administrative &C.
tion, public or private, that will pro-
duce coal before the existing supply
approaches exhaustion. A Colonel
ROOSEVELT with his initiative and
force of will might achieve an
early resumption OF mining by bring
ing the employers and employees to-
gether for a reasonable settlement.
A prominent mine owner with the
vision and power to command the
confidence OF both sides might do the
thing. A labor leader Of striking per-
sonality and big brain might do it..
But delivering the coal in the indus
trial store yard or the cellar bin in
the next sixty or ninety days cannot
be done by leisurely Congress COM
mittees or bureaucratic boards.
What is to be done as the final So
luton of the coal problem is long
story that will call for careful atten-
tion and painstaking working out.
But what Will soon be wanted in this
strike situation is man or plan
that will get out the coal in the next
few weeks. He is not now in sight.
but usually great situations create
the leaders of thought and of action
to deal with them. The man to end
the coal strike may appear at any
time.

Spinach and the Freight.

Consider spinach, the lowly but
healthful greens" of which the
northern metropolitan public got its
long distance supply only few
years ago chiefly from the Norfolk
section of Virginia. But the cities
had grown so fond OF spinach by
1918 that IL began to be shipped
from producing sections everywhere,
through many States, from beyond
the Mississippi, even across the con-
tinent
From 1896 carloads in the season
OF 1920 the shipments of this
bulky crop had risen for 1920-21 to
4,705 carloads, and 400 carloads
make scores of train loads. A pretty
fair bunch Of freight for the roads
doing the hauling.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Accord

Of the Lockwo ood housing bills. says:
Every legislator should be required
TO file with the clerk Of the body of
which he is a member statement Of
every bill in which he has a personal
or professional interest. directly or in
directly. and should be disqualified from
voting on any such measure either as a
member OF committee or on the floor
and against urging other members TO
vote for or against any such legislation.
1t should be made the duty of the clerk
before calling the roll for a vote upon
any measure to read aloud the names
of the men who have filed such stat

Why not pass a law forbidding legis-
lators voting on any bill in the subject
of which they take the slightest in
