The Brown Sale of Duroc Jerseys.

The Times is IN receipt OF letter
from Troy +. Brown. of the Fair
Oaks Duroc Jersey farm, near Apple
, ton City, and among other things he
says
My sale average was pretty close
To the $4,000 mark and | was more
than pleased as it was my first at
tempt to offer pure bred Durocs at
public auction and by strictly local ad
vertising All the gifts were bought
by farmers residing within radius
OF len miles Of the farm.
i have been raising hogs OF some
description most all my life as | was
born on the farm and don't think that
know much of anything else not
pertaining to agriculture and Hogs.
For the past five years l have been
growing and selling Duroc Jerseys,
which believe the most profitable
line we can tie to. Durocs give bet
ter returns, produce larger iitters, de-
velop more evenly and are always in
demand.
Now this is making it pretty
strong for breeder to read in print
if be is. not a red hog man, but you
know I just can't help but tell what
think so the other breeders of differ
ent hogs can think also.
"On April the grid, 1920. Chat
snowy Easter Sunday l had gilt to
farrow IL living pigs and raise every
one Of them, that fall she farrowed
fifteen. the next sping fifteen and that
fall eighteen. making total Of sixty
pigs in eighteen months time. Now
this is some pigs, in fact II is too
many. but thar is the nature OF the
old red SOW and she will take care Of
as many as come with . little extra
attention"

to the disadvantage Of those who
undertook 1t.
There are large numbers Of citizens
of Canada bitterly opposed to letting
the blight of Government ownership
and management fall on their rail
roads. An overwhelming majority
of the people in this country are in
hearty sympathy with them. II Ca
nadians can turn to their advantage
the object lesson OF our recent ex'
perience in Government railroad op-
Grafton so much the better. If the
people OF Canada with this horrible
example spread before their eyes are
still in favor of this form of social
ism the proposed raising of an inter
national technicality will be of little
avail in changing their opinion.
The New York herald., 1922-01-17
Our Standing Object Lesson.

One OF the questions before Pre-
mier KINa's Government in Canada
is the continuance of state owner
ship and operation of railroads. On
its face this would seem to be q
purely domestic issue. But IL a
group ON one side of the controversy
has its way it will not be thus re-
stricted. 1t will overflow the boun-
dairy line and in a way involve this
country.
Tho Canadian Government con-
trolls through a corporation entitled
National Railways Of Canada the
Canadian Northern, the Grand Trunk
and the Grand Trunk Pacific, in
which number of companies are
consolidated. The Grand Trunk has
terminus at Portland, Maine, and
another at Chicago, Illinois. 1t has
many miles of track in six American
States-Maine, New Hampshire, ver-
mont, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois.
This fact the Canadian opponents of
Government ownership are using as
one OF their arguments to put all
railroads under private management.
To this end 1t is proposed to move
on Washington. Their plan is to
create at the capital of the United
States sentiment against permitting
foreign Government to operate rail.
roads in United States territory. They
hope to raise this question in form
which will seriously complicate Ca
madam discussion OF the entire Gov
ernment ownership issue.
The mental poise of the American
people is not likely TO be greatly dis.
turbed over the ownership Of Cana
dian railroads which penetrate Amer.
lean territory. For many years the
Canadian railroads have crossed the
border without anybody on this side
of the line getting excited about 1t.
However, the matter may have latent
controversial possibilities.
Questions arising from economic
considerations are one thing; a
question precipitated solely for politi.
cal purposes local TO Canada is quite
another. Enlistment of our legisla-
tive or juridical authority in the dis.
agreements Of our neighbors is not
within the purview Of American pro-
cedure. Any attempt at this, how.
ever adroit, would be likely to react

Dublin Castle Changes Hands.

The symbol Of power In Southern
Ireland passed yesterday from the
British to the Irish, when the Kings
viceroy handed over Dublin Castle
to the Provisional Government of the
Irish Free State. For centuries the
ungraceful Gothic structure had
been the target of Irish hate. Now
it has fallen under the bombardment
of diplomacy. The former holders
march out gladly: the new masters
enter happily.
Sometimes an act like this physi
cal transfer goes further to convince
doubters than any word might 60
There must be some in Ireland who
have been reluctant to believe that
the treaty really meant freedom; but
when Viscount FITzALAN hands to
MICHAEL COLLINS the keys of the
Castle-which is known to everybody
in Ireland-the results of the agree
ment between the islands are made
visible to all.

A Changing Nationalist Spirit.

A message from Angora received
recently at Constantinople reports
the assassination Of MUsrApHA KE
NAL Pasha, the Turkish Nationalist
leader. The truthfulness of this re
port is questioned, but OF the fact that
conditions at the Nationalist capital
arc seriously disturbed and that the
Government is not having the same
smooth sailing as in the past there
appears to be no doubt.
KEMAL's leadership has been chal.
lenged by several other members OF
the Nationalist party, but so far un'
successfully. The latest news about
him before the report OF his death
was received was that he had retired
from Angora to mountain position
near his capital, where he had sur
rounded himself with a large body OF
loyal defenders and supporters who
we're guarding him against surprise
attacks. The economic situation has
been growing steadily worse because
Angora and much of Anatolia have
been almost entirely cut off from out.
side communication. The attempt
to find a solution for the problem OF
food supplies has caused consider
able dissension in the Cabinet and
the resignation OF five Ministers
within a month.
Another seriously disturbing factor
is the activity Of ENvEn Pasha in the
Transcaucaslan region. lie has or.
ganized military opposition to the
Nationalists among the Kurds, and
forming an alliance with the Moscow
Soviets, he has overthrown all the
small mountain republics of the re

Enright's Police Shakeup.

Police Commissioner ENRIGHT has
again shaken up" the force under
his command, eliminating four police
precincts, reorganizing the super
visory machinery of the traffic police,
shifting superior officers and max
ing other changes that in his judg-
ment will improve the efficiency Of
the department he heads. AS is
customary when such reorganiza-
tions occur in the police force, good
many citizens fear the alterations
will decrease the protection they have
received in the past, and some of
these have already begun to criticize
Commissioner ENRraHT for adopting
the course he has pursued.
This criticism seems to THE New
YORK HERALD to be without reason
able basis. In the first place, the ad-
ministrative head of the police is en-
titled to manage the force, under the
statutes, as his discretion and expert
ence dictate. He is responsible to
the public. represented by the Mayor
OF the city and the Governor of the
State, for the results he obtains. The
public is not interested in the techni-
calities of police management. The
population at large is interested only
in the quality of protection afforded
to life and property by the police.
Commissioner ENBIGHT's new polio
ing system deserves fair trial.
Hair trigger critics of consoiida-
tion and centralization in police ad-
ministration should remember that
by using modern machines and
modern methods the Commissioners
can advantageously dispense with
many things which were needed in
former days. When to reach the
scene OF disturbance patrolmen had
to go afoot or in horse drawn patrol
wagons over badly paved streets It
was necessary to have station house
full OF bluecoats in reserve on West
Twentieth street and another on
West Thirtieth street.
To-day the telephone informs the
police Of trouble before 1t Is well
started; motorcycles, motor cars and
motor driven patrol wagons take the
preservers of the peace miles in the
time that once would have been used
in covering blocks. The captain in
command of the Thirtieth street sta
ton, equipped with twentieth CEN
tury conveniences, is as near the
North River, to which his jurlsdic-
tion now extends, as ALEcK WILLIAMS
was to Fifth avenue when he made
the Tenderloin wori famous.

Our Trade Hurdles Depression.

Measured against dinosaur a man
looks small, but beside an ant the
man looks big. II we compare our
foreign commerce in 1921, when ex-
ports were priced at S4,4S4 ,766, 900
and imports at S2,5OS,452, 900, with
our exports of ss,22s,016,OOO and i'm
ports of s5.27s,4s1, 900 in 1920, the 40
per cent. reduction last year looks TO
be more ominous than II really is.
This is especially 80 when you re-
member that the war dollars were 30
cent dollars.
In 1901, two decades ago, our ex-
ports were s1,465, ,000, 900, our imports
sSs0.0O0,000, making total foreign
trade Of about s3t per capita for a
population of 100000. In 1911, a
decade ago, our exports were $2,092,.

Imports and exports in 1921, divided

City Baggage Charges.
Public Service Commission to Pass
on the Prevailing Rates.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Some
months ago you printed letter COM
planning of the high rate OF SIPS a
package charged for handling baggage
in New York. This certainly seems an
exorbitant figure in consideration of the
volume of baggage handled and the area
covered.
Before the war the charge was rs
cents. which should be high enough now.
In Philadelphia, with its greater area
and less density of business. the present
charge is rs cents, compared with SO
cents before the war. If the service
can be done here at a profit for IL

with it's greater density of business.
This matter will be taken up at a
hearing before the Public Service Com
mission on January 23 at 10 80 A. NJ. at
the New York Office of the commission,
80 Church street, "to inquire whether
the rates now charged by the aforesaid
companies for the transfer OF baggage
within the city of New York be just and
reasonable and not more than allowed
by law. to the end that the commission
may make such order with reference to
said rates as may be authorized by law"
Residents OF New York city should
attend this meeting and be prepared to
give their views as to the excessiveness
of the rate OF $1.25. Publicity will have
a powerful effect in leading to a reduc-
