The Right Ending

There is nothing material about
that blindfolded lady with the scales
who decorates most courthouses. But
occasionally she is as thoughtful and
affectionate toward the young as
could be any mother. Witness the
Stillman case, for example, where
she has rendered decision as sure
of approval from the gallery as it
is sound in law.
Humanity may have something to
do with the old rule Of law that gave
Guy Stillman, aged three and no
litigator, all the better Of the argu-
nent throughout. The real founda-
tion Of the strong presumption in
favor of the legitimacy Of child is
the practical desire to preserve the
family and make certain the rela-
tionships within it at all cost. The
creators Of the rule were thinking
quite as much Of the need of GER
tainty in the devolutlon OF estates
as they were of the rights Of help
less baby.
But the result is as admirable as
If the gallery had been allowed to
choose the denouement by show of
cat-calls and cheers. A mans at
tack upon the legitimacy of his child
is never a pretty thing. Where the
man is living in open profligacy the
charge becomes piece Of unsavory
effrontery. So the financial world
thought when it separated Mr.. Still
man from his job, and so popular
opinion has held, unmistakably. The
lady with the scales now makes the
vote unanimous.
New-York tribune., 1922-09-30

The expulsion of Constantine
from Greece complicates rather
than simplifies the Near Eastern
situation. The reaction in Athens
is toward the policies of King Alex
ander and Premier Venizelos. The
revolutionary committee has tele-
graphed TO Venizelos and asked him
to act for it in presenting Greece's
case to the Western powers.
The desire of the revolutionaries
is to renew Greece's former asso-
citation with the Entente, to wipe
out Constantine's record Of obstruc-
tion and defiance and to seek Allied
aid in salvaging what is left Of
Greece's projected gains under the
Sevres treaty. The new Greek
government may purpose fighting to
retain eastern Thrace. AT least
it will importune the Allies most
vociferously not to grant Turkey
Adrianople and the line Of the
Martha.
Any show Of Greek military ac-
tivity in Thrace will irritate Kemal's
troops, who are burning to cross
the Straits and reoccupy the Euro
pean areas which Great Britain,
France and Italy have promised
them on the sole condition that they
do not cross the Straits. A warlike
Nationalist Cabinet in Athens be-
comes, then, a disturbing factor in
a delicate situation.
Venizelos's manifest return to pow
er would alarm both the Turks, who
fear his adroitness in diplomacy and
his influence with Floyd George, and
the Italians, who have many grudges
to settle with the Cretan statesman.
Venizelos, reinstated and appealing
to Great Britain and France for
mercy for Greece and for personal
consideration because of former
friendship and services, will be a
much harder pleader to deal with
than Constantine, detested and re-
pellent, ever could have been.
Greece, in fact, wants to stage
great repentance. She asks to be
forgivei,--and to be let off from the
full penalty Of her sins. A certain
emotionalism is to be injected tn,o
a problem of partition, which. with
Constantine still in Athens, could
nave been treated with dispassion-
ate coldness. The Paris offer to
Turkey of September % still stands
But Kemal has accepted it only corr
ditionally and the Greek revolution

protest against it. All this Is har-
assing to the Western powers. who

Cutting Russian Relief

Those who have claimed that the
seasons crops in Russia would not
be sufficient to break the back Of
the famine will have to revise their
opinions in the light of the latest
reports from the American Relief
Administrations Moscow headquar-
ters. Where at the peak Of the
shortage this summer the Americans
were feeding 1O,400,000 Russians,
of whom 4,200,000 were children,
it has been possible to reduce this
number to only $4,000, all of
whom are children. In January 1t
will probably be necessary to in
crease the number Of child rations
to 100000 and, if funds are avail
able, to provide food for 100000
adults monthly for five or six
months. But there is vast differ
ence between this and the enormous
number that had to he fed this
season.
Whether or not another season
will make it possible still further
to cut the number Of persons thus
supported will depend in no small
measure upon the economic policy
Of the Soviet government. The
original system of reduisitioninp
surplus farm products naturally
discouraged production, Of what
use was it for the farmer to work
long hours and raise large surplus
which would be taken from him
without even few kind words for
his pains? The new economic sys
tenn pretends to encourage produc~
ton and offers the farmer market.
But the cost of transportation is so
fantastic that the real profits go to
those who have the few horses and
wagons, and who, owing to the
shortage and to the excessive de.
mands, can obtain exorbitant prices.
II the return to a normal eco
nomlc system can be continued
conditions should be much better
another year. But SO long as Soviet
notions are applied to production
and distribution of farm products
American relief will be looked for
and may be indispensable.

A Bonus Postcrint

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To President Harding and the
little band of Senator's and Representa-
tives who stood by him in the bonus
veto the nation owes a debt of graft
tude. They fought for our interests
and the interest of the ration as a
whole. regardless of theiv 7rn political
careers. They were true to their trust.
They have done the country a great
service, but they must be reinforced.
Let US show our gratitude and appreci-
alton by sending to Congress as soon

sentatives who will guard the Treasury
from any more similar attacks and rele-
gate the unnecessary two-thirds Of the
present Congress to the political scran

and coat to go, we became a little
briny. Especially as Mr. Miller, at
the other end Of the stage, was sug-
gesting, not too noisily, .he agonies of

preliminary evidences Of exit, con-

threshold? Have you ever prayed that
an actor in a play would walk through
a door without pausing to make one or
more remarks? OF course you have.
That prejudice against delayed and
prolonged departures impedes the
sweep and storm of Miss Chatterton's
renunciation in ia Tendresse." :"

valedictions. Mr.. Miller will be pleased
TO know OF this defect in the stage

It is not easy for a reviewer who
is averse to indelicacy to write of so
bare play as LA Tendresse." Not,
of course, because it is wicked

conduct is lamblike and its intentions

Success in Banditry

Raisuli has been taken---alive. A
career of banditry almost lnparal-
leled in modern times thus is ended.
Not even Villa in all his glory had
such a consistent record Of success.
Raisuli plundered with impunity and
defied the governments of tho United
States and Great Britain. Kidnap-
ing was one of his surest sources Of
income and his methods had the
luridness of dime novels. AS deli
cate hint to a British newspaper
man whom he had captured that q
pleasant fate awaited him unless his
ransom was paid in full he caused
mutilated and headless corpses to be
tossed into the prisoners cell.
From the British government for
the ransom Of Sir Harry Mclean,
the British adviser to the Sultan of
Morocco, he obtained 100000. For
the surrender Of Perdicaris, the
American whom he ceptured, he re-
ceived from the Moroccan Sultan's
government $4,000 and the COVER
norship Of the districts about Tam
gier.
But responsibility, even in The
guise of governor who had neither
scruples nor principles, palled and
he took to the hills again. In recent
years he conducted war against the
Spaniards. Only last summer 1t was
reported that his health forbade his
continuing his career Of banditry
much longer. Excessive obesity was
said to be his ailment. 'Too fat to
fight" was the manner in which an
American headline writer put 1t.
But his surrender has only just
taken place. If Spain follows the
example Of Mexico in the case Of
Villa, Raisuli will now be suffered to
retire to some vast estate where he
can enjoy in peace the fruits Of a
career Of violence. Banditry ap-
pears to be paying business.

Art in Trade

Rodln' the French sculptor, studied
as youth not sculpture or the fine
ar's IN general but art as applied to
the making of the things amid which
one hves-tables, chairs, lamps
loc6s' CHINA, what-not. That is to
say he learned designing at the
famous school of Arts Decoratifs in
Farls. Afterward he designed tap
estrles at the Gobelin factory He
was an artisan Of the fine French
school before he became the greatest
sculptor of his time.
lhat Is the sort of spirit that
must prevail in American factories
ana shops before the things amid
winch we live can become really
beautiful. Art must be thing not
applied to products incidentally
toward the end, like coat of var
'lsh' 1t must be built into the prod
uc's by every hand that touches
them' The designer must become
the great man Of the factory, not a
youth with smattering of training
out Yull-fedged artist with an hon.
ored career.
Partly public taste must help de-
.nand this sort of beauty in the
th1ngs we use. Even more. the
makers Of these things must educate
1he public by offering better and bet
'er aeslgns. The vast deal that has
already been accomplished by the
houses of this city in the field of in
terror decoration is excellently dis
played at the first annual exhibition
OF the Art-in-Trades Club at the
Waidorf-Astoria. This club is co-
operating with New York University
and the Metropolitan Museum in
giving course in decoration and
furnishings. It's whole labor is in
the precise direction Of bringing art
down from that pedestal where It
has been placed in America and put
ting it to work where it most be-
longs, in our shops and homes.
The machine is often regarded as
an obstacle to art. 1t is true that a
f'ne old handmade chair, for exam
pie, has a personal beauty which
machine products have not equaled.
But the machine can unquestionably
serve art far more faithfully and in
telligently than it yet has. 1t is fair
to say that we do not yet know to
what extent the touch of the true
artisan can be duplicated by rns,

which means ''the infidel CITY," because
it was pre-eminently city of Chris
tlans. 1t contained fifteen large Greek
churches, each of which had its own
free school. The Greeks also main
tanned the Central School for Girls,
where 5000 pupils were instructed.
There were four or FIVE Greek colleges
in and around the city; the largest Of
them, the Evangelical College, ranked
with the leading college in Athens.
The Greeks also supported the best hos
pital in Smyrna, a home for the aged
and several orphan asylums.
Practically all of the business and
commerce of the city was carried on by
the Greeks, SO that the Turks were
obliged to learn Greek in order to do
business there.
IN The Tribune this morning it is re-
ported that Admiral Bristol has esti-
mated the property loss in Smyrna at
s20o,o0o,oo0. have been told that the
greater part of this property BELONGED
TO the Greeks. The Greek and Arme-
nian sections of the city were burned,
the Turkish was untouched. The Turk s
favorite means of destruction is fire.
THE New York Times" has published d
the statements of several Americans
who saw the Turks applying oil and
torch to houses before the conaagra-
tion.
Is 1t conceivable that the Greeks of
Symrna, knowing the temper and fanat-
icism of the Turks, knowing the fear
full fate hanging over their heads.
knowing that they were in a trap from
which only a few could escape, would
set fire to the city?
1t is conceivable that the Greeks dis
tributed arms to the citizens as a aes-
perate means for protection. 1t is also
conceivable that the Greeks did not die
like sheep before the Turkish massacre.
but that there were brave men among
them who resisted to the last in. de-
fensc of their families.

Man the Enemy of Man

There is bitter irony in two cur
rent items of information. which in
dlcate that while man can largely
conquer nature he cannot control
himself. While more and more he
overcomes the plaques which attack
him from without, the more and
more he falls victim to evil impulses
within.
1t is reported that in the sixty
three leading cities of the United
states comprised within the regis
tration area the death rate in the
last three months has been consider
aoly lower than it was in the corre-
spending months Of last year. Last
years rate was the lowest ever re-
ported down to that time, SO that
TINS years figures again break the
record.
AT the same time the Safety Insti-
tute of America estimates. on the
pasis OF statistics already secured,
that the number of deaths through
accidents on NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Of
course, automobile accidents will
TINS year be at least 25 per cent
greater than last year, rising from

ures were the largest to that date SO
that this years will again break the
record.
