We believe there is world of
truth in the old saying of "There
is no place like home, for we just
returned from visit to Wichita,
Kans., and Gushing, Okla. AL
though we had a nice trip and
saw lots of interesting things, we
had a nice trip and saw lots of in
teresting things, we did not find
any place we liked better than
here and were very glad to get
back. At Gushing we visited
my brother Earl Owen and family.
They returned home with us for
a short visit, making the trip in
hiscar and without any car trouble
at all, it was certainly a fine trip.
They have a wonderful lot of oil
wells in that country. But also
have "a splendid prospect for a
a good crop, especially corn. We
received the "News" each week
since leaving Jasper, and was al
ways very anxious for its arrival.
| t was just like a great big letter
from home. But would have been
glad to have seen some Blue Star
news once in awhile. We have been
told SO often by people who have
left the country of how they en-
joy theitems. Never did we realize
just what it meant until we
had a trial.

Forever the Leviathan.

With that admirable instinct for
the proprieties which is inherent in
him, President HARDING has turned
aside the, Shipping Boards proposal
that his name be given to the historic
liner Leviathan. The former Water
land will retain the name she re-
ceived in wartime, and, let it be
hoped, she will be the Leviathan as
long as she sails the seas.
Everybody in America and great
many Europeans know what the
Leviathan did. The very name of
the huge vessel suggests the dispatch
ing. by tens of thousands, of the
young Americans who were eager to
reach France and the great struggle.
AS the President says in his letter to
Chairman LAsKER Of the Shipping
Board, the name Leviathan has IAN
overpowering national sentiment
and is "a national symbol"
Mr.. HARDING's fine perception OF
the popular imagination has pre-
vented the making of what would
have been serious mistake.

not come out openly in favor OF the
Fascist it made no effort to repress
their activities and it refused to make
any arrests for what their enemies
called their excesses. The Fascist
have made no statement regarding
their alliance with syndicalism. 1t
is suggested, however, that the real
reason back of the alliance is that
the Fascist can in this manner bet
ter control and direct syndicalism
than by the military means which
they employed in combating Bolshe-
vism. The fact that the Fascist have
taken the control OF Ferrara is ad-
vanced as an evidence of their inten-
tion not to permit the city to fall into
the syndicalists' power.
The danger from the Fascist. as
from all similar movements. lies in
the abuse OF the power which they
attain or in the personal designs of
men who reach leadership. So far
the Fascist movement has been bene-
fetal to Italy. and it will continue to
be so il the organization remains
true to it's original patriotic purposes
and ambitions.

Secretary Denby's Naval Junket.

Secretary DESBY's naval junket to
the Orient, arranged to start from
Hampton Roads next Saturday, is not
pleasing to the United States Senate
and will greatly offend the Ameri-
can people Senator MCCORMICK was
right to introduce his resolution of
protest against the extensive and
costly affair, and the Senate was right
TO pass the resolution. If Secretary
DENNY disregards the Senate warn
ing and defes public opinion Con-
gress will do we'll to take more
drastic action.
1t would be graceful compliment
for men who had been classmates Of
Admiral URiU of Japan in the class
OF 81 at Annapolis to celebrate their
forty-first anniversary. as is planned,
by going on visit of courtesy and
friendship to that distinguished Japa-
nese officer at his home in the Far
East. But for Secretary DENNY to
order the great transport Henderson
to be made ready to serve the pleas
ure of that excursion party, with its
wives and other relatives, on the long
and costly journey circumnavigating
the globe is an astounding perform
ance.
On such voyage of many weeks
for the sole purpose of transporting
and entertaining the private social
party the American taxpayers would
have to foot very heavy bill. Not
merely would the pay of the crew
run into tens of thousands OF dollars
but the fuel burned and the provi-
sions consumed would mount to hun
dreds of thousands more, not to men,
tion the maintenance expense of the
ship itself. And this when the Har-
ding Administration is bending its
efforts to stop waste, when the in
dustry and business of the country
are compelled to save and when the
American household is counting every
penny.
Add to ths huge actual expense of
this pleasure party the fact that the
navy is gravely short Of fuel, while
the complaint of the Department
chiefs is that there are far too few
officers and men, as it is, to perform
the necessary work Of the service
routine, and the wasteful DENLY jun-
keting party is incomprehensible
When there are ships a-plenty OF the
United States Shipping Board voyag-
ing regularly over all the waters of
the earth it would be beyond criti-
cism for private parties of gentlemen
and ladies to book themselves In
such ships for their personal pleas
ure trips.

Grating on Mothers Day.

A New York retail florist, CHARLES
Fl. BRowN, makes charge which il
true puts the wholesale florists OF
this part Of the world in the position
of being grasping profiteers. "The
wholesalers" he says, have an or
ganization and they fix the prices at
all times, particularly at Christmas
Easter and Mothers Day, when there
is big demand"
That, then, was the reason for the
gouging last week of sentimental
public which had been urged to cele
brate Mothers Day. The white car
nation having been chosen as the
appropriate flower. the wholesale
florists, according to Mr.. Brown
charged what they pleased for the
carnations.
Next Mothers Day let everybody
who observes 1t wear the flower
easiest to get-a bit Of dogwood
blossom OF even paper flower
Mothers appreciate the beauty of the
thought more than the costliness Of
the symbol.

Italy's Fascist in a New Role.

The Fascist. who at this time last
year formed the most aggressively
active agency in Italy against Bolshe-
vism and all forms OF radical social
ism, appear now in a new role in
their support of the syndical;sts at
Ferrara. That city is one OF the
manufacturing centers of northern
Italy and the seat of several State
industries. 1t has been syndicalist
stronghold and was last year the
scene OF radical outbreaks which the
Fascist themselves were instrument
tai in putting down.
Describing the situation in Ferrara
the Rome Bureau OF THE New YORK
HERALD says the city is in state of
siege, with a general strike OF 10000
workers called for the purpose OF
directing the attention of the Gov
ernment to the fact that the funds
for public works for the district will
be exhausted next month and that
unemployment will consequently
greatly increase in this region. The
local branch of the Fascist Joined
with the syndicalists in sending an
ultimatum to the Government and
took over the control OF the city. The
interesting question Is whether this
alliance will extend to other indus
trial towns of northern Italy where
unemployment also threatens.
In its inception the Fascist move
ment aimed at the revival of italian
patriotism. The organizers of the
different local groups-Fascisti Is de-
rived from fasces, the bundle Of rods
borne by the lictors of ancient Rome
were mostly soldiers who, return
ing from the world war. saw that
many of tie governmental principles
for which they had fought were in
danger. Their object was to form all
these groups into q powerful union
held together by common bond OF
patriotism.
The Fascist became absolutely
merciless in their attacks upon radl-
cslism. They drove from the coun-
try the agents of communism and
Bolshevism who had been sent by
Moscow and put an end to their
propaganda In Italy. They burned
the headquarters OF socialistic labor
unions. committed reprisals in which
they did not hesitate to use bombs
and firearms and harried radical so
cislistic Deputies to such an extent
that the latter abandoned their pub.
lie meetings. They went into the
elections last year with such energy
and fearlessness that they obtained
complete reversal of the results OF
the elections Of 1919 which we're
favorable TO Italian radicalism.

Episcopalian Ban on Women Continues
Long Island, Connecticut and Newark Dioceses Vote
Against Allowing Them to Hold Office.

The question of removing the dis
Church. so far as holding office and
voting as lay delegates are concerned.
came up yesterday before the diocesan
conventions Of Long Island. Connecticut
and Newark. The women lost in all
three conventions, although the Con-
necticut diocese voted to permit them
to serve as members of the vestry and
to be elected to the offices of clerk and
treasurer. But the wardens must be
maie members Of the parishes and the
women will not be permitted to hold
any office by which they could have a
vote.
In Connecticut the vote was close, but
in Newark and Long Island the women
were defeated overwhelmingly. At the
Long Island convention. held IN Garden
City, the matter was brought up by the
Rev. ]. Howard Mellish of Holy Trinity.
Brooklyn, who presented a resolution
relative to women being lay delegates to
the convention. The committee on
canons reported the resolution back with
the comment that women could not be
lay delegates" and asked to be excused
from further consideration of the SUBJ
ject.
A long debate followed. DIR. Mellish
spoke of the work done by the women
and the devoted support they gave the
church. The resolution was defeated by
q big majority.
In the Newark diocese the question
has been before the parishes for the last
three years. but appears to have been
definitely disposed of yesterday. when
the resolution eliminating the word
''rnale' from the diocesan constitution
was defeated by big majority. The
Rev. Augustive Elmendorf of Hacker
sack. secretary OF the Finance and Ad-
visory Board. which had been investi-
eating the feasibility OF admitting
women to membership IN parish vestries
and TO voting power in the conventions.
reported that fifty-one parishes opposed
the move and only twenty-five favored
It, The vote OF the clergymen against
the proposition was 55 to 10, while the
lay delegates voted 1914 to IN.
In the Long Island convention the
Rev. Frederick c. Stevens OF Brooklyn
asked that a committee of laymen and
clergymen call on the superintendent. OF
the Public Schools OF New York and in
form him that Henry VIII. did not found
the Church Of England. and to request
the teachers of New York not to tell
their pupils that he did. as the Church
of England was founded in 312 by a
disciple of st. Paul.
The Rev. Joseph r. Holland of Glen
Cove offered r. resolution to the Long
Island convention urging the convention
to protest against the use Of Long Island
boys as golf caddies on Sundays. He
asked the convention to go on record as
opposing such use of boys until after
O'Clock. so they will go to Sunday school
and church.
The Long Island convention elected as
lay delegates to the General Conyention
in Portland. Ore. next year o. s. Sey-

Taxes in Canada.
Saskatchewan Stock Growers Com.
plain OF High Rates.


To THE New York HERALD: The
United States is not alone in imposing
on its citizens a burden of taxation
which threatens to ruin them. In west
ern Canada there is great complaint on
this score. The Stock Growers Protec.
tive Association in a recent report on
the situation in Saskatchewan says:
Taxes have In recent years become op-
pressve and unless they can be regu-
lated TO admit of the stock business be-
Ing carried on at profit they win sim
ply ruin II. For example, a section Of
land west OF High River. Alberta, In
1916 had total taxes OF S18; In 1921 the
total taxes for the same section were
SIG.
This ratio holds good all through the
district and one can readily see what
this means when II takes at least fifteen
acres to keep one COW and double this
amount on the dry prairie. and the aver
age increase Of that COW. putting 1t at
the best. n not more than two calves In
three years, which bears out the state
ment of an eminent Judge that tho
power OF taxation Is the power to de-
stroy." which holds good in this case.
High taxes are not the only handicar
the stock growers have to overcome. BIT,
