II Shnu1d 0r1auiza

To THE New YORK HERALD: In regard
to the railroad strike. there Is talk about
the loyal men who have remained at
work and the new men who have gone
to work. and "are serving the Govern
ment." But IL the Government Is in
league with the labor leaders and is
serving the labor organizations and help
ing them to get what they demand are
not the strikers the men who are really
loyal to the Government instead OF those
who are working? Probably all the
strikers take that view of ID.
There is a great difference between a
government by few politicians and la
Dor leaders and government by the
people, of the people and for the peo-
pie. The people must organize. Patri-
otto sentiment and good resolutions do
not avail against an organized minority
The people Of Italy realized that some
time ago and they organised under the
name of Fascist; and then, instead
Of the people running away In terror

Our Quota of Soap.

If all the soap that is manufac-
tured annually In the United States
could be foated--and much of II
could be--it would represent tom
mage not greatly less than that of
the United States Navy, battleships,
cruisers, destroyers, submarines,
transports and all. The Bureau Of
the Census has just issued figures for
1919 according to which 2,432.591. 900
pounds OF soap was manufactured
in the United States that year. That
is 1,216,295 tons. These figures are
for all forms Of soap.
Figured on the basis of the present
estimated population Of the country
there is produced each year twenty
two pounds of soap for every person
In the country, although there 10 per-
haps no commodity which varies
more in point Of individual consump-
tion than this one. More soap ID be-
ing produced In proportion to the
population than In the output Of
twenty years ago--about five pounds
more for every individual in the
country.

Mr.. Hearst Too Kind.

There is such a thing as being too
kind.
Mr.. HEARST announces that in
stead of being a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
he supports JOHN F. HYLAN for that
honor.
May 1t not be that with his in
terest in Mr.. HYLAN Mr.. HEARST for
gets the State Of New York? And the
State of New York. after all, is the
important thing to think about. 1t
will be here long after HEARST and
HYLAN and MILLER and SMITH are
faint perfumes in the breeze Of
memory.
Would Mr.. HENsT, as a citizen OF
the Empire State, like to think that
the Governorship--a place that has
been held by CLINTON, JAY, MARCY,
SEWARD, TLpEN, CLEVELAND, RoosE-
WELT and HuoHEs-was occupied by a
man who, while mouthing abuse OF
the Interests" signed letter pre-
pared by the criminal HETTRIcK In
aid of a scheme to defraud the
public?
If Mr.. HEARST believes that the
Democratic party in this State ought
to nomieate what he chooses to call
Progressive then he himself, not
HyLAN, should stand for the nomi-
nation against AL SMITH.

More Power to Pat Harrison!

When the wool producing states
men confess pecuniary interests in
the wool schedules they say they
are within their rights and sneer
solemnly at any suggestion that
private interest enters into their
legislative action. And when oil Sen
ators confess personal interest in a
thirty-five cent tariff on crude petro-
leum, as Senator HARRELD of Okla
homa did day before yesterday, you
get the reply that they are within
their rights" in voting for the duty.
1t is high time there should be
it is not within a Senator's or a
Representatives rights to vote on
questionsAor for measures in which
he has a direct personal interest, big
or little. The needed illuminant
will be afforded by record vote in
the Senate on Senator HARRIsoN's
searching resolution affirming the
just rule in Jefferson's Manual and
the common law OF Congress for a
century and third. Naturally there
is every disposition among profiteer-
ing statesmen to block the progress
of the resolution toward a record
vote. There is no justification, legal,
moral or personal, for such an atti-
tude. Let PAT HARRISON hammer
away. THE New YoRK HERALD Is for
him in this matter because it be-
lieves he has the discernment, the
wit and the courage to make the
fight, and it does not care conti-
mental for the circumstance that he
is a Democrat.

The Stadium Concerts.

The fifth season of concerts in the
Lewisohn Stadium. conducted under
the auspices of the Peoples Institute,
has just ended. 1t has been an ex-
ceptionally successful season, with
the programs given by the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra OF eighty
five musicians led during the first
three weeks by HENRY HADLEY and
during the last three by WHLEM VAN
HooGsTRATEN.
If there are any New York lovers
of music who are yet unacquainted
with the quality Of these concerts
they should know that they have
missed one of the most agreeable ad-
ditions to the summer life of New
York which have been made in many
years. The worlds best music was
played at the stadium concerts, and
it was played well.
That in itself was sufficient recon-
mendation, but 1t must be added that
the concerts had other advantages.
They were played in great open space
on the heights of the city. On nights
when indoor entertainment promised
no comfort the stadium offered the
pleasure of the symphony hall and
the comfort of outdoors. Ten thou
sand persons might hear these con-
certs without crowding. During their
last week they were broadcast over q
radius Of more than 1000 miles.
Like that other great public bene-
faction in music, the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra, into which the late
Colonel HENRY LEE HIGGINsoN poured
fortune, the stadium concerts have
been maintained at heavy deficit
each season. In their establishment
as an annual feature of New York
city life they deserve the support OF
every music loving citizen.

Belgium's Military Program.

The Belgian general election last
autumn, which was one of the hot
test political contests through which
Belgium ever passed, was believed
by the Belgians themselves to have
allayed the bitterness of the dispute
between the two racial elements of
the population. In view of this EMILE
CAMMAERTs, one of Belgium's ablest
politicians and writer's, said: 1--WE
must therefore recognize that the
main result of the elections has been
to remove any apprehension concern
ing the development of separatism
or even regional autonomy" The
old dispute, however, has fiared up
anew over plans for the defense Of
the country.
This matter has become the lead
ing subject of political debate and
/ has been discussed very largely from
the viewpoints of the two races. These
are, on one side, the Flemings, who
live mostly in the basin of the
scheldt. in northern Belgium, who
speak a language similar to that OF
the Hollanders, and whose natural
affiIiation would be with the Dutch,
and, on the other, the French speak
ing Walloons, who occupy the basin
of the Meuse and whose sympathies
are with France. Although the Flem-
ings are about five-eighths of the
population, they declare that they are
not properly represented in the Gov
ernment, that they are placed at a
social and economic disadvantage,
and that French, the language of the
walloons, is the official and CONNER
cial language Of the country.
Some of the matters in this dis
pute were settled by concessions
made to the F'lemings during the
war and others we're adjusted after
ward as the result of political agita-
tions preceding the elections since
peace was declared. They received a
promise that one OF their most i'm
portant demands should be granted
This was that they should have a
university Of their own somewhere in
the Flemish zone, preferably the Uni
versity of Client, in which their Ian
guage could be preserved in its
purity. But the matter never adj
vanced so far that university was
set apart for them by the Chamber
OF Deputies
The Cabinet has been avoiding the
Fleming Walloon dispute by refusing
TO take sides. In fact. II practically
refused to acknowledge that such
dispute existed. But with the Gov
ernment's present military program
It is unable to pursue this course.
The Belgians believe that one Of the

Another Idol Falls.

After the White Sox scandal every

be long time before the serpent
again entered the baseball Eden. The
disgrace and exile Of the Chicago
players who were bribed to betfay
their team and the hiring Of Judge
LANDIs as. High Commissioner Of
baseball were, it was assumed, enough
to keep the game clean at least until
the present generation had forgotten

associates,
But baseball players, it seems, are
just as frail as other great men. One
Of the fans idols, PHIL DOUGLAS, has
been put out OF major league base
ball on the ground that he planned
to desert his club for money, leaving
1t at time when his absence would
hurt its chances for the pennant.
Greater pitchers than DOUGLAS have
had temptations too. They, fortu-
nately for themselves and baseball
were of sterner stuff than Shufflin
PHIL. They did not squander their
money or their lives. They came out
Of the game with competency and
the respect Of the public. DOUGLAS
must turn now to the bush leagues
or the dreary turpentine camps of his
boyhood. In baseball, as in the story
books, it pays to be good.
