Nights Ovation Centers
Around Prohibition Flag


But the eloquent grafton which Hon.
Quinn tried partly successfully later was
on the great subject of the new idea of
putting flag with star on it in the
window of all houses in the land where
they have drank up all their stock of
alcoholic beverages and therefore have quit
parlor window.
But while making these quotations about
young married parties being on the outs
with each other Hon. Quinn just had one
limb kind ~ draped across the arm of his
Councilman's seat and was just chatting
conversationally in low tones with ye
scribe and Councilman Chester Lahomma-
doc, our popular Elk and Eagle clubman,
movie first nighter and we'll known man
about the borough while awaiting Council
to open.
But, as events of the night quickly de-
veloped in the next few minutes, however,
it quickly turned out that Hon. Quinn's
idea of just beginning to talk in low tones
conversationally was premeditated game.
Hon. Quinn's game was to surreptitiously
raise his voice by degrees to his regular
public speaking voice, so that before any
body would notice it he would be in the
middle of a speech and thus get the floor
and hold it for the rest of the evening
away from Hon. Luther Mickelman.
1t was only minute to o'clock when
Hon. Luther Mickelman, Hon. Qunn's chief
antagonist for the privileges of the floor
at Council, hustled into Fire House briskly
carrying a brief case, bulged with impor-
tant papers, like he was ready to deliver a
lengthy address.
The minute Hon. Mickelman was seen
entering Fire House briskly by Hon. Quinn
Immediately Hon. Quinn began raising his
voice in his chatting with ye scribe and
Hon. Lahommadoo, who also has applied
for membership in the knights of Pythias
and in the National Geographical Society,
and expects to be admitted to both these
clubs also soon without serious opposition.
BY now Councilmen and standees sew
eral rows away could hear what Hon.
Quinn was saying in louder tones-it now
being seen by several what was Hon.
Quinns game.
"A fig for what these Anti-Saloon fana-
tics may say of me and mine!" cried Hon.
QUINN he now shooting even more pep in
his tones and beginning to half raise in his
chair, until you could put your derby hat
between Councilman Quinns person and
Hon. Quinn's seat of his chair without get
ting a stove in your hat.
Back of all is jealousy prompting those
not invited to our innocent little wedding
racket" cried Hon. Quinn louder, ito stab
me behind me in the back my friends"

IDEAL CHICKEN
FOR FOOD

A MOTHER bird we felt sorry for was
~ the Buff Cochin. He is squat,
tannish fellow, whose feet are in
visible. The reason why you can't see em
is that they are covered with feathers in
the most peculiar fashion. We wouldn't
want to be Buff Cochin for anything. 1t
must be annoying to have those feathers
tickling the feet all the time.
The proudest bird in the show, we
thought, was hen No. 2006 She laid a
lovely white egg while a dozen admiring
spectators looked on. We wanted to swipe
the egg and bring it home, but an atten-
dant was looking.
The New York herald., 1922-02-12

THERE were also exhibits of ducks,
geese and swans. When the swans
took to the water we began to
whistle "Swanee River" but all we got for
our trouble was hard look from an un.
appreciative bystander.
One of the interesting sideshows was a
garden seed exhibit, where one could buy,
among other things, egg plant seeds.
And we mustn't forget the New Jersey
farmer who displayed an eight-months-old
chicken that weighed twelve pounds, or a
pound and half to the month. 1t pays
to raise poultry. In ten years the bird will
weigh $50 pounds. With poultry selling at
but you figure it out.
And, oh, yes! There was a peacock on
display, handsome gentleman of the spe-
cies. We stuck around for fifteen minutes
waiting for him to holler the cry peculiar
to his species, "Peacockadoodle door, but
the unobliging bird refused to perform.

@OCKADoODLE doc! COCKADOODLE
I DOO! (That is atmosphere. This
is going to be story about the
recent Poultry Show at Madison Square
Garden.)
It struck us as we entered and, standing
at the head of the stairs, got birdseye
view of the thousands of chickens in the
place, that Tex Rickard was taking big
chance in letting all these fowl into his
Garden. The last time the chickens got
into our garden they did all kinds of dam
age.
If we ever caught that many chickens
in our garden we'd get gun-that is,
fowling piece-and have some target prac-
tice. It would be fun to hear the owner
of the poultry exclaim. in the manner Of
Mr.. Shakespeare's Macduf,
what, all my pretty chickens
At one fell swoop!"

The All-Ernbracing Radio

Although religious numbers have
often appeared on the programs of
the radio broadcasting stations, the
transmission last Sunday of the en-
tire service at St. Thomas's is one
of the first attempts of the sort that
has been made on large scale.
The possibilities are endless. So
great has been the spread of radio
equipment during the last year that
now there is scarcely town in the
country that cannot boast of one or
more receiving sets. Many of these
are equipped to pick up programs
sent from a distance of a thousand
miles or more. There is every pros
pect that new inventions will soon
extend their radius at compara-
lively small increase in cost.
Not only outstanding religious
services, therefore, but the best
music performed by the most skilled
orchestras, speeches and lectures
by famous men and women, read
ings from the works of great au-
thors and innumerable other fea-
lures can thus be sent forth into
the air, to be picked up throughout
the breadth Of the land. The posi-
bilities of the movie to reach the
mind through the eye may even be
excelled by the radio in reaching the
intelligence through the ear.
To be able to listen, in the noun
tains of West Virginia or on the
banks of the Mississippi, to church
service Or a concert in New York
or to the President delivering mes
sage in Washington, or to a lecture
in Chicago or story Of o. Henry
read in Kansas City, is already a
possibility, and the science is only
in its infancy. Was ever before
such fantastic invention devised?

Keep the Boss off the Bench

To vote for Surrogate John F. Co.
halan the voter must make a cross
opposite his name, which is the last
name in the eleventh section of the
ballot. This section is in the upper
gisht-hand corner of the ballot.
A vote for Cohalan is a vote to
destroy a combination of bosses
made for the purpose Of controlling
the judiciary Of New York County
Mr.. Cohalan, an able and honest
Surrogate, was denied renomina-
ton because he was not subserviert
to the bosses. His election will not
only rebuke them for attempting
BY a bipartisan alliance, to refuse
the people a voice in the selection
OF their judges-it will serve notice
on them that the voters of New
York County will not permit anv
BOSSES to place partisanship and
polltics upon the bench.

A Warfare That L.insers

Reading the words in which DR..
Steinmetz stated the difference be-
tween science and religion it is
hard for present day genera tions to
understand the desperate battle that
was fought between the two through
out the last half Of the nineteenth
century. There is no issue left in
this view, only two different hu-
man activities operating in totally
different fields and drawing their
credibility from totally different
sources. Facts perceived by the
senses and reasoned upon furnish
the hypothesis Of science. Faith
that deals with things unseen yields
the beliefs of religion.
But the practical situation is not
SO simple. To begin with, the line
thus staked out between science and
religion is by no means universally
accepted. Witness the controversy
oNSi SSOA0CAOIi anu MI. w GllS S OUL-
line of History" that recently flared
up in Kansas. The theory of evolu-
tion has been generally accepted by
the churches up to the point where it
touches the origin of man. At this
crisis there is still controversy. The
line is far clearer and more certain
than when Calico and Giordano
Bruno and Descartes and Voltaire
labored to gain freedom of scientific
research. There are still many mat
ters,in which religion refuses to yield
territory which science claims.
Not less important is the tendency
OF certain followers of science to
claim territory which clearly be-
longs to religion. The great men Of
science have not made this blunder.
Newton said he was no more than a
child picking up pebble on beach.
Pasteur was a devout believer in
the religion Of his people. It is the

The Election Stealers

Governor Miller's letter to Dis
trict Attorney Banton emphasizes
the unpleasant fact that the election
criminal has re-emerged in this city
The stringent personal registration
law OF a decade or more ago drove
out election fraud in its crosse,
forms. Colonizing and repeating
no longer constitute an industry in
the lower part of Manhattan-thc
Sullivan domain of other years. But
planting of floaters in downtown
lodging houses is still practicea
sporadically. And inside crooked
work of the inspectors remains a
menace.
The uniting out of Mr.. Bennett
IN the Republican city primary Of
1917 revealed startling rottenness
in the election boards. Other re-
counts have shown similar tenden-
cies to falsify the count even after
the poll has been conducted hon
estly. There are many election OF
fleers who put party advantage
above their oaths. They do not en-
force the law against suspects O,
against those Illegally asking assist
ance. They tamper with the bal
lots and add up totals wrongly. The
criminal official within the regis
tration board obeying district
boss is as much a factor in reviv-
ing fraud on larger scale as is the
f1oater Illegally claiming residence
or the impersonator relieving some
late conner or absentee of the task
of voting.
Mr.. Banton and Mr.. Gilbert have
had some disagreements about the
indictment of election law vic
lators. These differences concern
teclnicalities of court procedure.
In so far as this controversy has
given election criminals the idea
that the authorities are not of one
mind about prosecuting, it has been
most unfortunate. 1t is better to
scare off the repeater and the i'm
personator than to prosecute them
after their votes have been counted.
1t is better to put fear into the
hearts of unscrupulous election Of
ficers than to undo their crooked
work much later.
When arrests are made after the
election only the small fry are pun
ished as a rule. The men ''higher
up" escape. Governor Miller saws
that he will punish all election
crooks-whether higher up or lower
down. He calls on Mr.. Banton to
help in frightening off the GRIM
inally minded. And in this war on
election law breakers they will have
the support of all self-respecting
citizens.

Mastering the Sea

New Workers who take pride in
their city as the greatest seaport
in the world, and who would like to
see how the oceans have been mas.
tered in 5000 years of struggle
will be interested in the marine
exposition now being held at Grand
Central Palace.
Behind every piece of machinery
exhibited there are years of expert
ment based upon decades of ex-
perience. "Iron Mike" who steers a
ship with greater accuracy than his
human counterpart - whereby the
Sperry gyroscope compass auto
matically turns the rudder so as to
hold the ship on a given course
typifies the show. Forty-two MOD
els of various types of ships are
on view. A miniature of tiny
Ph@nician galley is compared with
the gigantic 52,0o0-ton Leviathan,
the largest vessel under the Amer,-
can flag, as an illustration of the
progress made in ocean transpor-
tatlon since the dawn of history.
The Navy Department shows
replicas Of the famous fighting
craft upon which its traditions are
founded. They trace the develop
ment of the navy from the privs-
teers of Revolutionary days to the
present, when the American feet
maintains equality with the best of
modern battleships. Along will,
these are models of the latest freignr
and passenger liners exemplifyinp
achievements in propulsion, safety
OF passengers and cargo handling
devices.
The machinery ON view indicates
the gradual turning from coal to oil
as fuel. with the most recent inven-
tions in the electric drive and
the Diesel or internal combustion
engine.
An unusual display is furnished
by the United States Department. of
Commerce, illustrating what the
government is doing to promote
safety at sea. This includes the de-
velopnlent of the radio, which has
eliminated many of the dangers Of
the past; the modern electric
lighthouse, which has supplante;l
the oil lanterns of previous wears i:

pseudo scientists, the small inter-
prefers, who have chiefly rushed in
where their masters have refused to
tread and claimed all for science.
Now, as matter Of fact, despite
the extraordinary wisdom gained by
science in the last 200 years, the
total known but scratches the sur
face Of all truth. Each great dis
covery has invariably revealed un-
expected perspectives Of the un-
known, heretofore unguessed Touch
ing all the great problems of re-
ligion, the existence Of God, the pur-
pose Of the universe, and so on,
science has not made any measur-
able progress toward finding an an
swer. Yet there are innumerable
rationalists who still hold forth
science as a substitute for religion.
There is thus still need for such
clear speaking as that of DR.. Stein
metz, and it should be taken to
heart by leaders on both sides of
the problem. AS he says, there is
no real issue left between science
and religion. There are, however.
old conflicts as to which one side or
the other refuses to surrender.
Until mutual yielding upon these
points occurs, there are bound to be
old echoes Of ancient battles to con-
fuse the faithful and quicken dying
animosities.

The Bright Side Of Doom

There is coed deal to be said for
the point of view of the Paris
"Temps" that refuses to see the hu-
morous side Of the eX-Kaiser's we'd
ding, and treats his fresh and smil-
ing start upon new career as an
insult to outraged humanity. 1t
might well seem that sense Of the
evil he had helped do the world
should have held him to more dig
nified ending.
But the compensating fact is the
complete pricking of the great I'M
perial bubble which this piece of
cheapness accomplishes. Here is
the pattern of Teutonic nobility act
ing like any selfish, small-town
sausage dealer, Here is the anointed
partner of the Almighty forgetting
every obligation of family and posi-
ton and concentrating his entire at
tention upon a comfortable old age.
When the Kaiser cut and ran at
the end of the war, he showed suffi-
GENTLY the color of his character to
finish him with his people. Yet he
left the imperial idea as a possible
rallying point behind him. Has he
not now endangered even that? One
emperor may be a coward and yet
another succeed him. But can an
emperor show himself selfish and
undignified old man, bourgeois to
the core, without ending his nations
taste for imperialism for all time?

The Voters Opportunity

:. The big issue in this election Is
the issue of good government.
Nathan l.. Miller has given the
State of New York the best ad-
trinistration it has had for many
years. He has provided in COM
prehensive plans for highly inn
portant and necessary public wor!s,
both for this city and the state at
large.
His election will mean the com
pietion of this work, which includes
the extension of the subway system
and the maintenance Of the five-cenl
fare. 1t will mean further econ
omies in the cost of government and
aSconsequent saving in taxes.
Governor Miller is opposed to
Tammany Hall, which looks hun
grily to the subways and to pubic
work in the state as rich field for
political exploitation. It's candidate,
Alfred E. Smith, is and always has
been a Tammany man, owing every
thing he has to that organization
and with the best intentions in the
World unable to escape from its
influence.
80 In Governor Miller the voters
have the best equipped candidate
for Governor that has come before
them for long, long while. His
election will be boon to the people
of the state. His defeat would be
a, statewide calamity.

1t comes with sense of calm be-
tween the clamor of campaign and
the fever Of vote-counting. 1t
brings, nevertheless, its own unease.
Shall we vote early or shall we
dodge conscience and fly to golf?
Who was that fellow alumnus to
whom we promised our suffrage?
Have we got that transit argument
straight? Can we find Cohalan on
the ballot? Will our wife neutral
ize our vote? The politicians and
newspapers have been doing all the
work; now it is up to US. What a
bother! A perfectly good holiday
spoiled by responsibilities. Yet,
after all, it will soon be over, and
it's some job at that. In the hop
per we drop the ballot that makes
the wheels go around. We start the
machinery for another two years
run. Without us there could be no
government. We are the motive
power. We are the people. Praise
be that Election Day comes rarely /!
But now that it is here-more power
to it! Let us decide and have done
with talking.

What Ken,al Forpets

Ihe latest demands of the Turkish
esatlonalist government ignore an
essential fact - namely, that the
Allied status in Constantinople is
dstermined by the armistice. Kema]
and his followers were subjects of
che Sultan and inseparably a part
OF the Turkey which lost the war
They broke away from the Sultan
when the latter signed the Treaty
OF Sevres. But they cannot break
away from the armistice. To saw
That because the Assembly has de-
posed the Sultan and the Constanti-
nopie Municipal Council has &C.
cepted the Assembly's decision
Mnter-Allied military occupation of
Gonstantinople therefore is not only
useless but impossible" is nonsense,
The inter-Allied occupation is stipu-
Rted Tor as condition precedent
to peace and will be continued until
peace is signed. If Mustapha Kemal
wishes to end it now he can end II
only by an act Of war.
Hamid Bey's note to the Allied
High Commissioners contained this
saving clause: "The great national
Assembly has no intentions to over
step the military bounds fixed by
the Mudania convention" If this
pledge is observed it is of little con-
sequence to the Allies who controls
the Turkish administration in Con-
stantinople. It is a city in pawn.
Mohammed VI, as head of the
nominal local Turkish government,
had no power and represented
nobody. The Allies dealt with him
and then discovered that the power
IN Turkey lay elsewhere. That is
why they eventually came to the
point Of abandoning the Sevres
Treaty and trying to make substi-
eute treaty with Angora.
The Sultan is now out except as
Caliph, and he soon will be super
seded in that dignity. To have a
Turkish treaty the Allied powers
must negotiate with Kenaal. Kemal,
on the other hand, can negotiate
with them Only on the basis of the
armistice anxssof the peace condi-
