Mr.. Pinchot's Republicanism.

In long dispatch from Harrisburg
to The Sunday Star giving an account
of the campaign In Pennsylvania this
appeared:
Pinchot's refusal to accept the nom
ination of the third party. engineered
under the heretofore challenging title
Of the progressives and in the interest
Of Representative William ]. Burke
for senator. has taken d good bit OF
the wind out of the sails of that ven-
ture. He did this even when it was
mean 100000 votes. and In the face of
an apathy in regard TO registration in
the cities that surprised every one.
Mr.. Pinchot sought the nomination
for governor as a republican. and OBJ
lained 1t as republican. He is asking
election as. a republican. andit is but
fair to assume that if elected he will
administer his office as republican.
! And set the enemies Of the Harding
administration, in summing up against
1t and predicting its Reputation By the
country in November, include Mr..
Pinchot among the disgrtntled repub-
licans who are keen to put acrifnp in
their, party and smH-N. the way for
the, organization Of a tl1ird party in
tip. tor operation n 1924.
Scs1oently this calculation is wide Of
the mark so far as Mr.. Pinchot is con-
cerned. He is not flirting for votes out
side the organization to which he be.
longs. and whose standard he Is carry
ing in this campaign. Not even tidy
bloc Of hundred thousand votes
tempts him. He is true to his colors.
In all probability the calculation is
as wide Of the mark in other cases. 1t
is not easy to believe that men aspir.
ing to and capable of leadership are
meditating embarrassing the party
that has honored them and from which
they are seeking further honors.

Another Invisible" Order.

And now there is report of an or.
ganiZatic.d called THE Tigers Eye,
whose noject Is combating the Ku
Klux klan. The members are masked,
and sworn to duty. The nomenclature
is not announced. but presumably it is
eccentric and fierce after the fash
ion of the Ku Klux. and with the same
purpose-to attract the immature and
.sadventurous. and strike terror to the
"timid and superstitious.
The name of the new organization
suggests this. 1t recalls the famous
couplet:
; "Tiger. tiger. burning bright.
Z In the watches Of the night.
The idea conveyed is of keen glance
behind the mask, and of swift and
.. sure spring of the eyes owner as soon
as situation is envisaged.
Here is another invisible empire"
sIIere is u purpose to fight the devil
with fire. Mask is set against mask.

possible destroy. another hooded figure.
This is all wrong. Instead of null
: tiplying them, let US do away with all
masks. Let us not adopt fire as a
> weapon even in fighting the devil. Let
us lay all of our cards on the table,
= face up.
We are facing a serious situation in

the allied powers as unwarranted ana

which. he intimates. can be averted
only through the Intervention OF the

It would seem that the course OF
prudence on the part Of England would
be TO modify the position already an
nounced, in view of the decisions
reached at Paris and Rome, and those
which appear to have been reached
t.;;!so at the Balkan capitals, not to par
1'tfclpate in campaign of resistance
against the Turks. But no signs OF
modification appear thus far. Prepara
tions continue for the assemblage of a
great naval force in the Dardanelles
Yet while the declarations of the gov
ernment at London continue to indi.
cate an unshaken purpose to hold
strictly to the policy of resistance. the
way remains open for shift to diplo-
macy. France insists upon confer
ence between the allied powers and

this enormous production. Later came
the explanation that the denomina'
tions had been increased, so that a mil
lion rubles could be printed in short
time and with little material. A thou
sand-ruble NOTE was a bit of small
change. Million-ruble notes came later
Just 80 in Germany the production
problem is solved by increasing the
denomin ations. A million marks may
be compassed in a single slip Of paper.
The whole thing Is relative. To pro-
duce seven billion marks day prob
ably means no more actual pressworh
than a billion product.
OF course. this steady increase in the
average denomination is simply an
other index of the ratio of value. In
Russia it has just been stated mil
lion rubles all hour is reckoned as a
fair wage for workmen. That means
probably ten or twelve million rubles
a day. If payment is made by cur
rency the worker is probably paid in
million.ruble notes, which mean no
more to him than quarters or half dol
lars Of American currency. probably
not as much. In Germany the situa.
ton is rapidly becoming as bad. With
the government printing presses pro-
ducing seven billions of marks day
the present Russian standard will be
closely approached.
In both countries the faster the
presses run, and the higher the de.
nominations, the worse the situation
becomes. Money production is not a
cure, but is rather an aggravation OF
the economic disease from which both
Germany and Russia are suffering.

New York Wants q Play Night.

Mayor Hylan OF New York has just
received a singular petition. which
may give some concern to the city
fathers. One George Sirico, chairman
OF the Italian branch Of 4 group of
associated committees formed for the
purpose. has asked his honor" to fix
a date for an annual might of play"
one night when New York citizens will
give themselves up to gayety. To non
New Workers. this may seem singu.
lar request considering the amount Of
play in which the Inhabitants Of the
petition it is pleaded that the people
may be given a chance to forget for
one night the most recent and least
popular Of our national reforms" One
can imagine New York In such state
Of forgetfulness even for one night.
Normally it would be possible to look
| for a prompt refusal of the metro
politan authorities. But Just now a
campaign is in progress, and one
never knows what will happen when
an election is at hand. They play
strange politics over in New York un.
der Tammany auspices. One can
easily conceive Hylan boomed for
President by the might of play pro-
! ponents if he yielded to the present
petition and set the date desired and
| gave orders for a wide-open town for
that occasion. But, of course, there
is another side to the question. Though
denominated in the petition as the
least popular of national reforms pro.
| hibition still has friends. Just how
many friends is moot question. Pro
! tagonists of nights Of play-365 of
them annually-say that these friends
| Of prohibition are the small minority
Of the people. Others differ. But It
! would be interesting to test this ques.
ton. perhaps through some such ac-
/ ton as mayoral decree Of a dryless

Heroes of the Argonaut.

No more dramatic story has ever
been written than that Of the entomb-
! ment of the miners in California and
the efforts lasting for over three weeks
to reach and rescue them. These men
| were caught In a deep level of a gold
, mine by an outbreak of fire which cut
off their means Of escape. They were
not menaced by the flames directly.
but by the noXious fumes from the
ignition. A roll call after the alarm had
been sounded and the crews were with.
drawn had showed that forty-seven
We're missing. 1t could be determined
Just where they were probably located
An accurate map of the mine indicated
where they would have taken refuge
if there were time to escape the first
onrush Of the deadly gas. Without
the least hesitation, without any ques-,
tion OF the cost, without counting the
risk to other lives, efforts We're begun
to reach the entombed men. So long
as there was no definite knowledge of
their death it was hoped that they
were living, and this hope sustained
the spirits and maintained the energies
of the rescuers.
Prodigious feats of tunneling have
I.been accomplished in these three
weeks. Great masses of rock have been
pierced for the shortest cut from an
! avenue Of safe approach to the. esti-
mated location Of the trapped men. In
short shifts the rescuers. volunteering
for the service, piled their drills with
feverish haste. If the men were living
every hour was precious. Yet as the
days went by hope waned. Three
weeks passed. Was it possible that
human life could continue for so long
in such circumstances, in the dead
blackness Of the deep. in the fetid air.
probably without food and perhaps
without water? Every element was
against the chance OF. a living rescue.
Yet on went the crews, digging foot
by foot into the stubborn walls, at
times themselves enveloped in gas and
sustained by pipe lines fed from the
purer atmosphere above.
Yesterday the men were reached and
found dead. All the efforts of these
| three weeks Of furious drilling have
! been in vain. But not wasted. There
could be no waste in such a quest.
even though it was fruitless.
! 1t is impossible exactly to know the
circumstances in which these men
finally died Some indication appears
| that they were suffocated within a few
hours after trying to build bulkheads
to keep out the poisonous fumes,
| stripping themselves to fill the cram
nies of their hastily built walls. One
| of them left few scrawled words that
| showed conclusively that it was gas
that killed them, that they did not die
from hunger or thirst. 1t was merci-
| full death in that 1t was not protracted.
They seem to have died together and
apparently simultaneously.
| The real heroes of the Argonaut
