Best for All Concerned

The dispute between the INTERIOR
ough and the Manhattan Railway
Company over rental for the ele-
vated lines has been settled through
the good offices of Judge Mayer, of
the United States court. The Man
haitian company's stockholders will
get per cent rental instead Of
vainly trying to get 7 per cent. A
fve-cent unified service fare will be
retained and a fund of 100000
will be accumulated for badly needed
new equipment.
This agreement, if approved by
the Transit Commission, will avert
the danger Of throwing the transit

erals assurances have not dispelled
them there remains the simple ex-
pedient of submitting the entire
question to determining body in
which the government as we'll az the
operators and miners will be repre-
sented. Surely not even the craziest
Of governments could be expected to
participate in such an adjustment
and then bring suit against the two
parties for cooperating with it.
Fear of indictment is but feeble
excuse under the present circum-
stances for refusal to confer.
This excuse may be deemed merely
pretext for delay. The operators
would postpone a settlement. Such
being their policy, they continue to
lose public sympathy and at the
same time make government inter
cessicn practically inevitable.

France Keeps Her Word

On the eve of the Genoa confer
ence the French Chamber of Depu-
ties has voted to reduce the French
army to $4,000 men. The enlisted
strength for 1920 was $40, 900; that
for 1921 is 10000. The promise
which M. BRAND made in his address
to the Washington conference, but
which he unfortunately neglected
to give the place of honor in his
remarks, is being redeemed by the
Poincare ministry.
American opinion was misled by
M. Brands failure to stress the
really dominant note in his mes
sage. France is reducing her army
and thus explodes the charges of mil
ltaristic ambition-mostly insinccrc
and malevolent-whch have been
brought against her. Anti-French
propaganda spread the impression
here that the BRAND speech, instead
of containing promise to decrease
the French land forces, was in
fact a fiat reteration of French
"militarism."
France intends to keep thirty-two
divisions under arms and twelve of
them along the Rhine. Is this too
large force, considering Frances
contiguity to Germany and her re-
sponsibllities as chief executor
of the Versailles Treaty? Franco
doesn't think so. Very few Ameri-
cans would think so if the United
States were in Frances place.
Germany signed the Versailles
Treaty, but has violated it when
ever she has had the chance. She
| accepted last May AN ultmatum
from the Allies regulating the pay
ment of reparatlons. But she has not
lived up to her contract. She is
continually clamoring for more CON
ccssions. Her bad faith is manifest,
and the only effective restraint on
reputation Of all her obligations
is the presence Of a French army on
the Rhine. France is carrying out
the treaty not only for herself but
for all the Allies, including the
United States. She needs an army
strong enough for the task If the
United States were similarly stu
| ated and had had to put up with
since the peace what France has had
to put up with our people would
probably think that they were show
ing extreme moderation In main
tanning a treaty enforcement army
of less than 100000 men.
Those who rail at French "mili-
tarism" are chiefly those who see
in that "militarism" an obstacle to
Germany's reputation of treaty
debts. They want to disarm France
| because France is the one power in
| Europe In position to compel Ber-
lin to keep faith. If France dis
armed, the treaty settlement would
fall to pieces and Germany, now
| posing as a bankrupt but spending
billions extravagantly at home while
her people pay in taxes only one
third or one-fourth of what French,
British and Americans pay, would
laugh in her sleeve at the gullibility
of enemies who knew how to win
| the war but didn't know how to
make and enforce peace.
President Poincare begrudges the
Germans that laugh. What fair
minded American will not sympa-
thize with him?

Better Control of Aliens

Senator Shortridge's naturaliza
tion and citizenship bill, which has
the approval of the Labor Depart
ment, goes long way toward ration
alizing our treatment Of resident
aliens. There are two classes of
aliens--those who come here with no
intention Of staying and those who
intend to apply for citizenship. We
have been careless in our contacts
with both classes. In the main we
have let the immigrant take care of
himself.
Some aliens sift in in violation of
the immigration laws. Some, after
arriving, assume a revolutionary
attitude toward American institu-
tions and try to substitute their
ideas of political organization for
ours. Some remain incurably alien
in spirit, putting loyalty to the in
terests of some other nation above
their duty to the United States, even
after they have become American
citizens. Perhaps majority come
here solely to enjoy economic advan-
tages not offered to them at home.
These groups have never been suf-
ficiently sifted out. Mr.. Shortridge's
bill provides for complete enroll
ment Of all foreigners and the pay
mcnt by each of an annual fee Of
$24. The money thus raised is to go
largely to fund for the instruction
of those who desire to qualify for
citizenship. Naturalization has been
boon scattered indiscriminatcly.
Hundreds of thousands of aliens
have been converted into voters
without any competency to discharge
citizen duties and holding in con-
tempt a patent which has come to
them so cheaply.
The trouble-making aliens and
IiloSo WIN are mere III NloIdllOn OIL
law will be more readily dealt with
if they arc enrolled. Failure to en-
roll would carry with it the penalty
of deportation. "Red" agitation here
is an exotic. 1t has flourished only
because of the excessive privileges
granted to anarchist and communist
intruders who want to set up among
us the sort of minority terrorism
which they preach and practice at
home. The Federal government
needs to have a stronger grip on
these turbulent elements. 1t can
control them better if they are reg
istered and required to report them
selves each year on pain of eXpul-
sion.
The present naturalization process
is too mechanical and too perfume
tory. The Shortridge bill broadens
the requirements for citizenship and
gives the certificate much higher
value. This is as it should be. Cit-
zenship is social responsibility, not
a badge to be pinned carelessly on
any crude newcomer. 1t is time that
citizenship should be bestowed with
more regard to it's effect on Ameri-
can institutions and life than on the
personal fortunes and conveniences
of the alien applicant.

More Truth Than Poetry

The Unrestful Sea

lhe Onresttul Sea
We were crowded in the cabin,
Not a soul of US could sleep,
For our ears were in the city,
Though our souls were on the
deep.
"This is Broadway" spoke the
wireless,
And there sounded, clear and
keen,
The glad decentralization
Of a riveting machine.
Upper harbor," spoke the radio,
And the busy little phone
Sent us fifty tugboat whistles
In one wild discordant moan.
Then the song Of an old clo' man
And the score board watchers
cheers,
And jazz band up in Harlem
Fell like Bedlam on our ears.
From the Drive we heard the
tumult
Of a locomotives cough;
From the Bronx a sharp explosion
AS manhole lid blew off.
And, as eagerly we listened,
Came the deep and brooding
dark,
And we heard the shrieking victim
Of hold-up in the park.
"Extral wot's yer evening
paper?"
Rang the newsboy's frantic
shout.
"Bang!" and "Crash!' and sounds
Of panic
AS a subway switch blew out.
Till the Captains lovely daughter
Softly cooed: "Good gracious
Old New York is on the water
just as much as on the sea-"
Then we viewed the little maiden
With a disappearing frown,
For we knew we'd get no slumber
Till we got to London town.

And buy house of mellowed years
The roof would leak like last years hat !;
You would be moved to tears.
Before the house your fancy stirs
Get bids from several carpenters.
How will you heat the spacious hall?
Relay the broken, crumbling floor;
Rekalsomine the cracking wall,
Rehang the sagging door,
And order nice new window blinds;
The old are split by questing winds.
When from your bed you lazily
Observe the distant purple range
As sure as sin your son will cry
"The car is acting strange!
The store is many miles away
And mothers got to bake to-day"
If by the walk red ramblers run
You'll plant them, every single rose,
And watch them die for lack Of sun,
For Nature overgrows
The trees and shrubs that once were

WHY PRIMARY SYSTEM HAS
LOST ITS POPULARITY

The chief charge against the pri-
mary system of making nominations
for office, as that system pertains in
this State and many others, is not
merely that it is cumbersome, expen-
sive to candidates and State and in
capable of awakening interest on the
part of the voter.
For these conditions are really in
significant compared to the larger al
legations lodged against the system
now in vogue. That sin is its inability
to serve the public welfare.
1t is too often a means of an I'M
known man riding into political
power. 1t makes wise choice of can
didates difficult, and sometimes i'm
possible. 1t demands that the aspi-
rant to official honors neglect his busi-
ness and at great inconvenience and
expense to himself and his friends
enter upon a canvass whose outcome
cannot be accurately forecasted.
While this latter requirement is an
embarrassment to the Office seeker
rather than the people, on its face, it
actually harms the public in a greater
degree because it deters many good
men from entering official life.
generally employed does not accom-
plish the end which it is chiefly de-
signed to serve. It is no safeguard
against trickery.
The early proponents of straight
primary election" to determine the
choice of candidates for public Office
saw in their minds all unfit men stink
ing from such a contest. 1t was be-
lieved that no opportunity for corrup-
tion at the polls would exist. The
dream of the pioneer pleaders for the
present primary system was that it
would make the good citizen power
for honest political rule, and that he
could never be Overthrown.
No such results have come from the
use of the primary nominating system.
Aside from bringing prosperity to
printers and publishers and sign
painters and multiplying the number
of paid workers in a campaign, there
has been little actual benefit to the
cause of good government. On the
other hand much harm has been suf-
fered by true interests of the people
in their life.
The reform of the primary system
must come. It's sensible development
is now seen to be necessary-its need
ed changing from a machine sup
posedly self-operating to system in
which the brains and experience of
party leaders will be called upon to
serve the public. The primary sys-
tenn as now employed does not do this.
It is too easily captured, moreover,
by those skilled in political cunning.

that set fire to the car and building,
which with the car and adjoining
broOder house, together with about
two hundred chickens was entirely
/ consumed. Mr.. Vaughn's small son
who was in the car at the time was
rescued without being hurt while Mr..
Vaughn was slightly burned about
the face and hands. An alarm was
turned in to Lewes and Georgetown
and the fire companies from both
places were soon on the scene. While
the fire had too great headway for
the salvage of anything from the
burning buildings, they succeeded in
confining it to those houses alone and
his beautiful home was undamaged,
for which we are very thankful.
