it will accommodate no railroad
traffic at all, but business traffic in
motor vehicles will be sufficient to
overcrowd it.
In time, probably, there will be
several tunnels at intervals along
the lower part of Manhattan Island,
where the lay Of the land favors
their construction. Further north
tunnels would be impracticable,
while bridge building would be- easy,
because Of the height Of the shores.
In time there may be several
bridges. as there are over the
East River. But at least this one,
planned to have carrying capacity
equal to half 9 dozen or more tun-
nels, should be constructed without
further delay. Capitalists are said
to regard 1t as certain to be profit
able enterprise, with lower tolls
than now are charged for motor
cars on the ferries. II SO, they
certainly should have q chance to

Not the Same AL Smith

In 1918 Al Smith made an ef-
fective campaign for Governor. He
made no promises which were not
within his power to perform. He
attempted no defense of Tammany
Hall.
Again in 1920, though his cam
paign resulted in his defeat, Mr..
Smith made campaign which was
based on his record, and he kept his
pledges within the bounds of pos
sible performance.
This year he seems to lie differ
ent Smith. He began his speech
making with unjustifed attacks
upon Governor Miller and the state
administration. He is winding it up
by seeking to spread the belief that
beer and light wines will be restored
if he is elected Governor and that
his first official act will be to remove
the Transit Commission.
Mr.. Smith knows that his election
cannot serve in any way to restore
beer and light wine. He knows that
with Republican Legislature,
which is certain to be elected, he
cannot remove, the Transit Comnis-
sion. All he can do is to decline to
interfere while Hylan continues to
heckle and hamper it.
Seeking to obtain Office under
false pretenses was never Mr..
Smiths way in the old days. 1T is
to be regretted that a man of his
energy and ability, a man mentally
far above his Tammany associates,
should stoop to their methods.

Japan Out of Siberia

The japanese have confounded
their critics. The last Japanese
troops have been withdrawn from
the Siberian mainland and onIs
the garrison on the island Of
Saghalin remains.
Much of the credit for this action
goes to the Washington confer
ence. There, for the first time in
recent years, the japanese had a
chance to place their case sauarely
before the other nations and. IN
turn, to consider calmly the policies
OF other nations in the Orient. Too
much tension during the five pre-
ceding years prevented a frank dis
cussion Of these conflicting aims.
The repeated protests Of the
United States government against
Japan's occupation of Siberia
merely served to embarrass
those japanese who favored
witndrawal by making it possible
Tor the militarists to say eve re-
1use to receive orders from the
United States" Such an appeal to
japanese nationalism naturally met
with hearty response.

Ter than they would have from Mr..

Ter than they would have from Mr..
Smith.
A Republican Legislature has
twice interviewed to halt Mayor
hylan's effort TO hold the teachers Of
New York to starvation wages. The
first time was under Governor Smith,
and IL IN greatly TO his credit that he
eo-operated with the Republicans to
prevent this grave injustice. The
second time was under Governor
Miller, who saw to it that the Hylan
effort to cut twenty-seven millions
from the city's educational budget
was prevented.
AS for the state appropriations
Tor the support Of the common
schools throughout the state, they
have increased from $32,511, 900 in
191s-'20 to s33, ,965, 900 in 1922-'23.
Of this total an increasing amount
has been assigned to teachers sal
aries. The Smith temporary salary
increases were made permanent by
Governor Miller.
But Governor Miller's interest in
the schools does not, stop at this
Tosnt. A teacher himself in his
youth, he has maintained clear
conception Of their paramount i'm
portance to the state. He said re-
Gently: "The needs Of the schools
are first, and should be made first,
and whatever cure may be necessary
to assure the primary Importance of
adequately securing the needs Of the
schools should be applied" This was
touching the evil of part-time, most
acute in New York City. 1t is an
evil fostered by Tammany city ad-
ministration and Tammany School
Board. There can be no question
that Governor Miller, cooperating
with Republican Legislature, Of
fers the only hope of an intelligent
reform of our city's schools that will
end the present reign of politics and
give the teachers of the city and the
children Of the city the rounded and
orderly educational system that the
whole city demands and which every
teacher desires.
Our correspondent is entirely
right. The teachers can count on
Governor Miller not only for a
square deal but for a courageous
tackling of their worst enemy, Hy-
lanism, and its whole policy of starv-
ing teachers and turning children
into the streets.

North River Bridge Plans

The stupendous proportions of the
proposed North River Bridge excite
admiration, but there is no occasion
for their provoking incredulity or
skepticism as. to the feasibility of
the project. Roebling was laughed
to scorn when he proposed the Gin
cinnati and Niagara bridges, while
not until the great span was COM
pleted would many concede the pos
sibility of constructing and safely
using the Brooklyn Bridge. Not
only were those, works successful,
but so were still larger bridges, and
they all were quickly thronged with
q vastly greater patronage than had
been expected.
The North River Bridge will
really not be as wonderful for this
day as the Brooklyn Bridge was a
generation ago when it was built.
1t certainly will not be less useful.
The New Jersey cities with which
it will directly connect New York are
larger and call for more traffic than
did Brooklyn in 1883, while the
traffic by motor cars and railroads
with more distant points which
will seek passage over the new
bridge is simply inestimable. Capa-
cious as it is proposed to make it. if
that bridge were in use to-day It
would at some hours of the day ba
overcrewded.
The fact that the states Of New
York and New Jersey are now en-
gagged in constructing a vehicular
tunnel under the North River is )
gratifying circumstance, which does
not materially, If at all, lessen the
need OF q bridge. The tunnel will
be OF enormous utility, but when
used to its fullest capacity it viii,
not be able to accommodate more
than q. small fraction Of the traffic
which requires passage across tho
river. passenger and pleasure
traffic it viii not be Rttractive. anf,

False Economy in the ARMY

President Harding is right in
stating Of the army that "there are
limits Of reduction beyond which
we cannot 60, even in the interests
of economy, without destroying the
excellent foundation now laid for
our national defense and forfeitina
the accrued benefits of the World
War experience"
Have we not, however, already
exceeded these limits? The Secre-
tary of War, backed by such all au-
thority as General Pershing, states
that an army Of 10000 men and
$4,000 officers is the minimum con-
sistent with national safety. The
Director of the Budget, however,
states that the War Department
may not exceed expenditures to the
amount of $3s6,757, 900, which will
maintain only the present personnel
of 125,000 men and 10000 officers.
In order to save few dollars for
the moment the army is being cut
to such an extent that it cannot
function as an efficient unit.
The additional cost Of keeping the
enlisted strength up to 10000 men
with $4,000 officers has been esti-
mated at about $23,O0O,0OO. In
other words, this sum represents
the difference between an army at
the minimum strength for efficiency
and an army SO cut that it is Grip
pied.
The need Of saving in every
branch Of the government is clear.
But it is false economy to cut the
army to such an extent that to
bring it back to proper minimum
strength will require increased ex-
penditure in future years.

gendered made it much easier for
the liberal elements in Japan to tri-

the Japanese, once in Siberia, would
never withdraw, and even Japan's
friends we're uncertain Of the out

ahead, determined to make good
their promises and carry cut their
new policies. This wise action cam
not fail to benefit Japan, as it has

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
A Bad Investment

A Bad Investment
We seldom eat upon our dining
table,
It's very frail, and therefore
we have planned
To dine down town whenever we
are able
To fill the kids up with our
cash on hand.
1t often seems about to come to
pieces,
But when veneers and bits of
glue it shed
We told ourselves "an antiques
worth increases
With every year that passes
Ger it's head"
We've patched the chairs with
string and picture wire,
The children may not sit in
them at all;
We use the floor when huddled
round the fire
And range the Chippendales
along the wall.
But little good such furniture
can do us,
Yet we believed that in the by
and by
They'd bring very handsome
fortune to Us
Or to the youngsters when we
came to die.
We've saved and scrimped and
sacrificed to get them.
We've tended and we've
watched them through the
years.
We've never let our progeny up
set them
For fear the crash would wind
up their careers.
And all because we thought, in
fond delusion,
That when at last the creaky
things were sold
They'd bring the money in in
vast profusion
Because they're all so very,
very old.
And now, alas! we learn we've
hoped but vainly!
The French, who set the styles
in chairs and sich,
Declare these antique pieces are
ungainly
And buy their outfits in Grand
Rapids, Mich.
Beyond our dreams it is to cash
to turn them;
Evaporated is our golden goal;
There's nothing left for us to do
but burn them
And make little saving on the
coal!
