while the ears Of their chief continu.
ally rang wit, the strains Of his IN.

The lightning rod no longer is

like an amateur tisherman's rod. The
Big Bertha checkbook is duly mount

Field Marshal "Fingey' Corners is
ahcld and has opened the dough-bag.
AS candidate for Presidential
nominations. for Governor and for
Mayor Mr.. Hearst has been more
assiduous than successful. Indeed
there is robust rumor that on more
than one occasion he solcmnly has
sworn off and vowed to himself never
again to waste money on the greedy

stern master. When it calls it tolcr

the cause to which Mr.. Hearst de-
voted himself while others were
floching to the colors must be served.
Moreover, proper punishment must
be given to a person that fate has
tried to conceal by calling him Smith.

A Gross Injustice

Longshoremen and repair men
who work on ships arc denied the
benefits of the workmen's compensa-
ton laws. Injuries received while
on the dock may be paid for, but as
soon as longshoremen cross the
gangplank they arc outside of state
jurisdiction and must sue for dam
ages if hurt. This is true of other
landsmen also who are sent aboard
ship while in dock.
The recent explosion on freight
er at Jersey pier. resulting in the
death Of one man and the injury Of
eleven others, shows the injustice
wrought by this discrimination.
The men cannot claim the compen.
sation to which they would be en-
titled for similar injuries received
on land.
Eleven months ago the Senate
passed a bill distinguishing between
sear1eN and land workers on board
a ship in dock but in no sense
part of the crew. The bill carries
the specific provision that compen-
sation benefits shall be restored TO
those men taken away by five TO
four decision Of the Supreme Court,
Last January the same bill was re-
ported favorably by the House Ju-
dietary Committee. Since then,
however. nothing has been done.
A vote by the House is needed.
Continued delay means continued
injustice. The Jersey City case
should end further dillydallying.

would not be impossible to put an end
to the paper and rubbish nuisance if
slml'ar measures were taken.
l know most of the cities in this
country to some extent at least. and
nowhere else, from one coast to an
other, have ! seen any such exhibition
as New York discovers. The parks in
San Francisco, Denver, Chicago and
st. Louis are delight from end TO
end. They are thoroughly used by tho
citizens, but they are kept clean and
tidy, we'll planted, we'll cared for. Here
We allow children to break down the
shrubbery and even the trees with
out any apparent effort to train them
to better civic conduct. And it comes
to this question of training If they
are permitted to break and to destroy
and to leave rubbish without rebuke.
they go on from bad to worse. The
beautiful planting Of Morningside is
a thing of the past. The youngsters
have simply destroyed it, 1t is bad
for them, and it is bad for the city.
This city does many things for its
children. its citizens Music. art and
education are given free. The city
owes It's population much. But the peo-
pie owe something to the city, and
where they do not themselves pay what
they owe they must be taught to do so.
Otherwise confusion results, and the
hest efforts must fail.
The Fifth Avenue bus line has be-
gun to advertise order, but it is almost
alone in this work Putting a few
signs in as many windows announcing
that such and such week is clean up
week is practically useless. 1t may
bring momentary results, but what are
New-York tribune., 1922-05-14

they? What is needed is a systematic
and long continued campaign to teach
our citizens how to behave with
public property. Liberty to use It is
not license to ruin and spoil it. To
'eAtter litter over public property is
subject to fine. Public spirit is valu-
able asset to a people. One way to
acquire it is to learn decent pride
for what is public property to be
trained to jealous care for the fair
fame and fair appearance of the city
10 which we belong. New York has a
mixed population and much of it has
come from very different environment
from that which they find here. Much of
our difficulty in keeping New York
orderly springs from this source. But
1t Is up to us to see that this d fficulty
is met. We make these new comers
on educating their children. These are
primary matters. But there is no good
reason why they should not be taught
good public manners. The city has a
right to be clean. orderly and beautiful.
1t cannot be any of these unless the
population aids in keeping it so.
That the public can be taught to be
orderly was proved by Mr.. Hornaday,
who insisted that there should be no
rubbish left about in the Bronx Zoo.
He had his troubles enforcing his rul-
ing, and was much criticized by the sort
of person who is always mixing up
liberty to enjoy with license to be a
nuisance, But he stuck TO his guns
ynd kept his park beautiful and clean.
We can do the same thing within Man
haitian and we ought to do it.

Spirit Picture. as Art

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Nearly all the skeptics have
flung their handful at Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, the ardent believers
have applauded and many another has
respected him for his obvious SINGER
ity. The scientist has been called in
to analyZe the ghosts and the pho
tographers have done their utmost
with only nominal charge for their
surprising services). but, as usual, the
artist alone seems not to have been
consulted Yet one would think any
Kind of pictorial expression would find
its best critic among those whose
training has been for that express
purpose.
No doubt communication is hard and
the ectoplasm may be . difficult
medium to model with but the ghosts
would interest the artist world more
if the angel faces were not quite so
conventionally pretty and were better
constructed. A good many fine drafts
men have passed over but while an
occasional orthography has been toler-
ably reproduced, has there been never
4 drawing with any intrinsic merit
executed by other than living hands :?
A few lines made by a master drafts
man would be more convincing than
ream of writing affirming an incom-
municabe "glory" Individuals have
been known to develop remarkable
gifts of initiating signatures, even be-
fore death, but the craftsmanship of
n Leonardo, Holbein or Degas died
with the flesh. The landscapes, gener-
ally done in few minutes" by the
spirits, are so poor that we must con-
slider the time wasted, however short.
The flowers also and the little
brides often look more like millinery
than like nature. viii not some orni-
thologist come forward and tell us if
the spirit birds are living or stuffed,
or il they belong to the realm Of
human science at all? And will some
botanist stand up and guarantee the
flowers? Certain features of the
spirit photos are really interesting,
but there are also terrible gaps in
the probabilities to any student Of
the arts, however humble.

Disinfected

Whether it is Will Hays or some
otner movie master who is responsi-
bic. the motion picture industry has
been given a healthy disinfecting.
Lately a particularly notorious
young woman returned from Europe
hoping to capitalize her notorlety,
only to discover that she is barred
from taking part in film produc-
tons.
Not long ago another motion pic
ture star who has received unpleas-
ant publicity was panied to learn
that his ''vindication production
was not to take place. The argu-
ment that the public have nothing
TO do with the morals Of popular
actors is not based on sound sense.
There is an clement among play
soers which tolerates m;sbehaylor III
celebrities which it would not tol-
crate in acouaintances. And there
IS an clement among showren which
capitalizes indecency, knowing that
people who are talked about will

ers who use the speaking stage as q

Old, Old Peonies

have Dug about their roots in the long
ago: for they came early from lands of
the Mongols, the Tartars. the Chinese
and all through southern Europe I
fancy that some early Puritan lifted
the peony from the English gardens
and brought the bulb along TO add
touch OF home to the rough world Of
Plymouth. There are peonies IN New
England so old that no man knoweth
their genesis.
We used to know only the red pcony.
But it has no finer ancestry than the
white pcony. Do flowers chiefly take
their color from the country
racial flowers like the peony? The
white peony came from snowy Siberia,
where it was given perfume to COM
pensate it for the loss Of that superb
and opulent crimson. that fairly spar
kles like the deeps of old wine. The
snow is in it's heart; but the odor OF
roses is on it's effluence. Do you know
ANYTHING more lovely than the white
ueony. the tips of its petals slightly
violet or pink. deepening into a sus-
picion of rose, its center of pure cream
and shading into ivory? Can you fancy
ANYTHING lovelier than these flowers
And SO, admitting their perfection, can

ClUic Virtues

There has been a deal Of interest
in and argument over &C tic Virtue
in7this city Of late but how about civic
virtues
We could do with some more of them,
or some more evidence that there was
any real regard for the civic. virtues
Of order and cleanliness at least. New
Y ork probably holds the record for un-
tidincss among the cities of the entire
country. The rubbish that we allow
TO blow about our streets and squares
is a disgrace to our sense OF citizen
ship.
Walk through Morningside Park, that
used once upon a time to be Joy to
the eyes, and look at the litter there
Central Park suffers from the same
shameful disregard OF the elements of
cons liberation for the appearance Of the
lawns and strawberries. The employees
whose business it is to keep these
places clean and neat arc simply
swamped; they cant begin to do it,.
And time that should be used in work
ing on the howerbeds and trees must
be wasted in picking up all this dis
carded rubbish, or attempting to pick
it up. It is much easier for few
hundred persons to cover the parks
with litter than it is for few score
TO clear up the resultant mess.
Once the splitting nuisance made New
York's streets, cars and public prop
eIly generally an abomination. That
nuisance was practically ended by
pr oper advertising and by imposing
penalties and making some arrests. 1t

Something sort of choked in my
throat today as, once again, saw the
rconics coming into bloom IN the
garden, for peonies that bloom have
mostly been planted by other hands
long since laid folded away under other
blossoms. Grandmother called them
"pnies" and they were her treasures,
huge red "pinies" that She felt sureto
be superior to any other that grew.
They blossomcd alongside the graveled
walk that led up through the little
garden Of hollyhock, tall and gaudy,
peonics as red as blood. and. deep IN
their hearts, tie stamens of yet un-
folded beauty We brushed them as
we walked ard saw them as mere
flowers. To her they we're as gifts out
Of her store of Gods special beneti-
cence. She took them to church for
the minister's desk; she took them TO
school for the closing days exhipiuon'
she took them 10 weddings and
funerals and in the old parlors great
mass OF them stood in a great oiue
nop,,-ninies. sweet and lovely pines
that gave her a certain UNIQUE s'ana-
ing in the community.
So. see them to-day coming aiohs
again and | notice how little atten-
t;on we buster people give to TINS MS
