Staging Shakespeare.
Credit Awarded TO the Actors Rather
Than to the Managers.

To THE NEW York HERALD: It Is a
Just tribute TO Fritz Leiber. Walter
Hampden and Robert Manteil to say
Shakespeare on the stage In this coun-
try, but he also serves who, like Tyrone
Power. gives his support in so worthy
a cause as John Barrymore's Hamlet"
Tyrone Power has at the end Of his
tongue the greatest roles OF Shake
spearc. I can never forget his majestic
performance In Julius Cesar" when
he acted Brutus to the Marc Antony of
William Faversham. His whole career
has been given over to doing the better
things of the stage and at times with
scant reward financially. That he has
added dignity to the performance of
Hamlet" by his intelligent and SYM
pathetic reading Of the part Of the King
is in harmony with what he has always
done when the standard or classical
drama commanded his services.
Let those managers who have often
declared that Shakespeare spells ruin"
take notice. Until Arthur Hopkins VEN
tured into tho production OF Shakespeare
no manager ventured. 1t was the actors
themselves who ventured--men like Z.
II. Sothern, Robert Mantell, Walter
Hampden. Fritz Leibcr and Forbes Rob-
ertson. More power to Mr.. Hopkins and
moro players like Barrymore, Power.

however. remained a strong political
force in the country. The extrem-
lists have recently been especially ac-
tive; to them their exiled leader,
ZAGHLUI, was still a hero and they
carried on a secret campaign for his
return from the Seychelles islands,
to which he had been banished. The
King succeeded in suppressing many
of the extremist newspapers and In
prohibiting the distribution OF much
of their propaganda literature. But
this was done at the expense of his
popularity, and finally, when the Cab
met refused to suppress other more
liberal organs of the Nationalist
party, a definite break came between
FUAD and the Ministry. The Cabinet
rendered him its resignation.
A message from Cairo yesterday
said that rev Cabinet had been
formed with NAssAM Pasha as Pre-
mier. He headed one of the Minis
tries in the turbulent period just pre-
ceding FUAD's regime. The Cabinet,
it is frankly said. is made up entirely
of politicians. This should be some
thing of relief from 1.-The Egyptian
statesmen and reformers" who made
such dismal failures as Ministers in
the past. There is some hope in these
Ministers keeping Office when MAS
SAM announces that he has not yet
published his program, that perhaps
he will not have oIe and that his
country is already buried beneath
such a burden of unkept promises
that he will make none.

Slapping the Face of Justice.

Low as Governor SMALL Of Illinois
had sunk in the estimation Of Amer
leans, he went even further into the
depths by his pardon Of WILLIAM
BRoss LLOYD, along with thirteen
other political offenders. Setting the
rich communist free after few days
in prison was mockery of the law.
The sentence that had been i'm
posed on the fellow who boasts that
he is the "reddest of the Reds" was
light enough-from one to five years
in Joliet. LLOYD was an obstruction
list during the war, waver OF the
red flag. After the war he urged
men to dynamite the armories and
banks in order to obtain arms and
money with which to conduct revo-
luton against the Government of the
United States. LLOYD spent 100000
in an effort to escape prison, and it
was four years before the law was
able to land him where he belonged.
Through the pardon Of Governor
SMALL. this malefactor came out OF
prison eight days after he went in;
came out to enter his limousine and
drive off to his home, there to eat a
Thanksgiving dinner in freedom, re-
assert his radical views and laugh
at the law.
AS cause of general regret this
case surpasses that Of DEBs. 1t will
encourage the followers OF sedition
and violence. 1t will add to the gen.
orally false notion that rich men
escape punishment for their crimes.
Justice is slapped in the face.

Unusual Radio Records.
Remarkable Conditions Noted Hero
as Well as in England.

To The New YORK HERALD: 1 was
much interested in the dispatch from
London In your paper on Tuesday which
said that J. II. Ridley Of Croydon, Sur
rey, England, heard music and the call
WIZ as well as nine amateur stations
in America, one OF them in Chicago. at
:15 o'clock Monday morning, or s :15
Sunday. New York time.
Atmospheric conditions that evening
had caused much comment by listeners
on my radio set at my home in Flat
bush. With my application system
out OF commission on a Greve receiver,
on using only the detector bulb Newark
came In loud enough to be put on the
loud speaker. Louisville. Atlanta, Gin
cinnati and other points were clearly
heard. There appeared to be not the
slightest disturbance.
In years experience that evening
afforded the clearest reception. 1t may
be probable that a good many long dis
tance reception records were made on
that night, although it is not unusual
for me to hear stations 500 miles away.
I might also say that KDKA, Pitts
burgh, came in almost as strong as
Newark. in most cases the stations be-
ing simultaneously heard. the strength
of signals from both making delicate
tuning adjustments very difficult.

The Little Roads.

From the Arkansas Gasette.
o little roads SO lovely and enthralling,
Inset with sunshine and with silver
rain.
Across the years the urge of you is call
ing
o little roads. SO beautiful and vain.
Who may rctrace the paths his feet
have wandered;
who may bring back the vanished
golden age?
The past is past; the shining coin Is
squandered
The hand Of time has turned the faded
page.
Wide ways there are that lead to light
and learning.
Broad beaten paths to triumph and TO
But nevermore from out the Unreturn-
ing
Come back the little roads--the roads

Another Congress Veteran Goes.

The death OF Representative JAMES
r. MANN of Chicago removes another
of the familiar figures Of the south
end of the Capitol. MANN was a

resentatives stood between him and

so who have served ten or more
terms will not return to Washing

session. CANNON and JAMES w.

Sas beaten in his effort to reach the
Senate. voLsrrAp Of Minnesota and
RIcHARD WAYNE PARKER Of New Jer-
sey were defeated for reelection last
month. And now death has taken
the veteran MANN.
In spite of his occasional mistakes
in policy JIM MANN was an efficient
Representative. He understood the
mechanism Of legislation as well as
any official in Washington. He was an
expert parliamentarian. He worked
at his Job day and night. He knew the
details of every bill. He was the &C.
tual strategic director Of the Repub'
lican majority even after the election
of GuLETr of Massachusetts to the
Speakership.
Unfortunately for his reputation
MANN is remembered too well fol
his opposition to the war and for the
so-called white slave law that bears
his name. But his experience, in

Psychic Photographs.
A Believer in Spiritualism Answer.
Nevil MaskeIyne.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: am
constrained to submit reply to the arti-
Gle on spirit photographs by Nevil
Maskelyne.
In referring to the Hope case In Eng
land and the charge by Mr.. Price OF the
changing of plates Mr.. Maskelyne leaves
much unsaid. There was undoubtedly
chicanery somewhere in this case, but
1t has not yet been proved wherein it
lay, but do notice Mr. Maskelyne does
not refer to the x-rayed plato belonging
to Mr.. Price that has turned up in the
possession OF the London Psychical Re-
search Society with an extra upon Il,
and held back during the earlier investi-
cations of the case. Mr.. Hope has been
taking psychic photographs for many
years, and he has convinced many of
their genuineness. and. furthermore, un-
less It is an instance OF his being put
to considerable personal expense he
does not charge for these photographs.
Mr.. Maskelyne should be conversant
with these facts.
Psychic photography Is a fact, but
rare. and the evidence of the same lies
not so much with the public mediums
as In the home among relatives and
friends II Is all very well for Mr..
Maskelyne to say his son can make
extras under test conditions Of any
prominent man or woman. but how
about the veriest stranger dropping in
and procuring an extra of some relative,
an undisputed likeness of one long gone
and obscure?
Mr.. Maskelyne refers to bereavement
as the cause for credulity. He neglects
to call attention to the fact that Sir
oliver Lodge has pursued his investi-
cations over a period OF thirty years
and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle over
t. -nty-flve years. and their bereave-
ments occurred during the recent war.
The National Spiritualistio Associa-
tion has offered a prize of $1,000 to
any magician or prestidigitator who can
produce the phenomena manifested
through mediums under the same con-
ditions. Why Is the challenge not
taken up?
I would once moro refer to tho in
Vulnerable cases Of mediumship I'm pri-
vatc homes, among all classes where
evidential proofs OF survival are mani
fest to an extent undreamed OF by the
one who has never investigated.

A Free Transit Hand for Smith

If the six Republicans chosen to
the Assembly from this city go on
with their plan to support Governor
elect SMITHS transit program they
will do the right thing. THE NEW
YORK HERALD, which opposed the
obstructionist tactics OF the City Hall
toward the plans OF the Transit
Commission, Is glad to see that the
Republicans will not turn obstruc-
tionists.
The overwhelming vote Of the city
last month gave Mr.. SMITH an un-
mistakable mandate in transit mat
ters. For the matter of that, the
vote OF the whole State was most
emphatically in favor of giving him
chance to carry out his ideas and
policies. 1t as well as the city vote
put the responsibility on his shoul-
ders of doing something to improve
the city's transportation.
That it was a popular reputation
of an excellent plan devised by Gov
ernor MILLER does not matter at this
moment. That the Transit Commits
sion's plan meant great things for
the subway system is beside the i'm
mediate and very urgent issue. The
voters OF New York said, in effect,
Let AL SMITH do 1t in his way.
The promised action Of the Re-
publican Assemblymen-elect will as
sure Democratic control Of the Leg
islature so far as New York city
transit is concerned 1t will make
1t impossible for Mr.. SMITH, as Gov
ernor, to complain that in this mat
ter his hands are tied by the Repub-
licans. His plan, assuming that II
is within reason-and AL SMITH is
no visionary-will have its chance.
This city is nearly ten years be-
hindhand with subways. Tammany
Hall obstruction to the Transit Com
mission is responsible for nearly two
years of this delay. If Mr.. SMITH as
Governor can find short cut to bet
ter service, good luck to him!

The Anti-Lynching Bill.

If President HARpING's announced
policy toward the Ku Klux Klan is a
policy of wisdom, and THE New
YORK HERALD believes and has said
il Is a policy of great wisdom, why
shouldn't it apply as well to the anti
lynching bill?
President HARDING leaves the Klan
problem for the present in the hands
of the State authorities. He puts it
up to them that they must deal with
the matter until they declare it is
beyond their control. Whenever they
say they cannot handle any Klan
situation that arises and call for
Federal Intervention he will put the
authority and power Of the national
Government in charge.
That clear way of thinking and
straight course Of action in respect
of State authority and the Klan
applies with equal force to State
authority and other purely local
problems. If State can handle its
lynching troubles 1t is the duty Of the
State to handle them. IL State
cannot handle its lynching troubles
It. can always call upon the national
Government to handle them. And
then it becomes the duty of the ma
tional Government to handle them.
Until State officers confess their
inability to prevent lynching or to
punish lynchers and until they call
upon the Federal Government to help
them do what they cannot do when
left to themselves 1t would seem
that there is no more reason for
Federal Intervention in State lynch
ing situations than there is for Fed
eral Intervention in State Ku Klux
situations.

Egypt's Cabinet of Politicians.

When FUAp began his rule as King
of Egypt, few months ago, he was
hailed as a deliverer OF his country
and the outburst of enthusiasm at
his coronation was so great from all
factions and parties that the world
was led to believe that Egypt's days
OF political turmoil we're over. Con-
sequently there was some surprise
when his first Cabinet resigned. about
two weeks ago, and still more when
it was reported last Sunday that the
Egyptians were combining to de-
throne their ruler and restore their
former Khedive. ABBAs HnMr.
The trouble with the Cabinet ap-
parently was that Il had taken too
literally the promises which the King
had made at the time he became
ruler. Premier SARwAr, who was
recognized as one of the ablest men
Of the country. started out, with the
assistance of commission appointed
for the purpose, TO draw up consti-
tuition. He attempted to embody IN
this document many Of the ideals of
freedom and self-government which
FUAD had professed. The King,
though. had reconsidered; he had
come to believe that the commission
was too liberal In It's views and that
its chief purpose was to deprive him
OF his royal prerogatives. The fact
apparently was that FuAD was so
thoroughly imbued with the Orlen-
tai despotic ideas Of his house that
he would accept no Limitation at all
on his power.

Rats on Railway Premises.

estimated exist in Great Britain and

occupy railway premises and II their
activities were not restrained would

ways in heavy claims.
in grain growing areas. OF which the
territory served by the Great Eastern is
a notable example, drastic measures are
required and rat catchers are employed
at Ipswich. Norwich and in the Lon
don area. The reports OF these men in
dicate that for the eight months ended
September 80 last about $500 rats were
destroyed on the Great Eastern system.
On electric railways rats eat the rub
ber used In insulating material and get
into station and other tanks. contami-
mating the water. Warehouses, hotels.
refreshment rooms and goods sheds
where foodstuffs and other commodities
are stored are ideal homes for rats. and
the prediction OF the rodent for maxi
ing nest of paper also brings the rat
into railway offices. where precautions
have to be taken to preserve the records
and other documents. 1t has been noted
that in railway goods sheds rats appear
to be familiar with the working hours
of the men and make their appearance
Immediately the staff has gone off duty.
All railway companies adopt precau-
tions and cooperate with the local au-
thorities and with agricultural and
other sections of the community In rat
destruction. It is claimed that more
work In dealing with the rat evil ID
done by railways than by any other
organization.
In spite OF all that is done, however,
the rat flourishes and inflicts n loss on
railway companies In payment OF claims
which IL estimated at tens of thousands
OF pounds a year, to which has TO be
added the cost of the staff employed In
keeping down the depredations.
The damage is not confined TO the
consumption and spelling or food but .
certain amount is done to the buildings
where rats make their home. Attention
Is given by railway arrangements to
methods Of prevention as we'll as de-
struction. Buildings are rendered as
far as possible rat proof by the use of
reinforced concrete In place Of timber.
