Tho Rainbow Fairy.
(For my dau0hter)


The Rainbow Fairy sat high on her arch.
Where the sun drove the shower IN
flight.
And her dress was all spangled with
glittering drops
Like gems in the clear golden light.
Q never queen sat on such radiant throne
AS the Fairys dazzling bow.
And none ever wore so splendid robe
AS she caught from the sunbeams
aglow.
The Rainbow Fairy cried. "vIBGYoR!"
And / asked whatever she meant
Was 1t Choctaw or Russian or Eskimo,
Or some tongue from the Orient?
But she merrily laughed at my puzzled
look,
While she tinkled her crystal shoes.
And then cried II will give you one
tiny hint
Seven letters recall seven hues!"
So I studied her bow with its glorious
stripes

Inheritance.

Death shall not rob me OF the best rye
known,
when dust has clothed my altered
circumstance:
I need not take the finaI sleep alone.
These things I keep for my inhsri-
tance:
A morning blown with stars; tho span
gled sea
A scarf OF silver on the earth's white
breast:
A single wan blush where the moon
should be.
And dawn's rose fingers pointing TO
the west
A night OF fog the gray sea clothed
about
With other gray. mysterious and
grim:
The quiet kiss OF far tides drifting out !:
The salt sweet spray; a Eulrs lone
flight. And him
Who all day long companioned at my
side
Within whose heart shall not yet have
died.

Clouds and Cheer.

When after a few days OF brilliant
sunshine the face of the sun is yelled
by gray clouds many men and women
permit their spirits to become de-
pressed, utter plants about the
weather and are apt to assume that
Nature has set up minor conspiracy
to make the world and his wife more
unhappy than it is absolutely neces-
sary for them to be.
There is a type, however, more COM
mon than 1t may seem. that takes
cheer from the overspreading gray
clouds. To some the shield between
them and the sun brings cooling COM
fort, relief to the eyes and an
aesthetic pleasure in the vapory veil
itself for reasons OF It's low toned
color. Whether one must be pos
sessed of a melancholy temperament
to take delight In gray day is an
open question; a gray atmosphere in
itself does not make for the melan-
choly temperament.
Possibly the real solution of the
philosophy of these lovers OF gray
days, the happy folk who take COM
fort and delight in them. is that they
really have philosophy about life
and living, and that they can. thus
fortified, be as cheerful on cloudy
days as when the sun is shining.
They find the silver lining in every
cloud without having to go to a
proverb for II.

The Primaries.

The primaries will be held through
out the State tomorrow. In New
York city the hours for voting will
be from 3 o'clock In the afternoon
until o'clock in the evening. Every
voter who enrolled when registering
last fall Is entitled to vote in to-
morrow's primary elections.
This year there are no contests 20
stir the political blood Of the city.
1t is good thing, however, for every
qualified voter to go to the polls.
Women, and particularly women who
have never voted in primary, should
vote tomorrow 1t Is worth while
to know the ropes.
Primary attendance, registration
and election day voting-none ought
to be sighted by men and women
who are jealous Of the privilege OF
the franchise.

Barring the Mayhower.

When the donor of the Interna-
tional Fishermen's Trophy put that
prize into the care of board Of trus-
tees he did so with the clear inten-
ton Of encouraging the building OF
real seagoing fishing schooners, ves-
sells that could keep the sea in all
weathers, blow high or low. All pro-
fessional fishing schooners were
eligible to compete in the annual
races, but the idea of a schooner be-
Ing especially designed and built to
win the prize was directly opposed to
the thought Mr.. DENNIS had In mind
in establishing the trophy.
Obviously it is this knowledge that
has impelled the Halifax trustees Of
the trophy to declare ineligible for
this falls race the Boston schooner
Mayfiower, repeating the action they
took last year. In their letter ex-
planning the reasons for their action,
sent to the chairman of the United
States race committee, the Halifax
trustees say: "In our view, though
vessel OF the Mayfiower type. or one
that exemplifles that type in a still
greater degree, may be a bona fide
fisherman, more or less suited to the
fresh fishing business as carried on
in Boston. to carry such vessel to
the international race would contra
vene the intention of the donor ex-
pressed In the deed of gift"
What appeared to be a campaign
Of publicity on behalf OF the May
flower was started early this year by
the publication OF various statements
as to her trips to the fishing grounds
and the value OF her catches. This
has not impressed the Halifax trus-
tees, it is evident, for their objec-
tions to a schooner OF her type are
just as pronounced as they were in
1921. Four vessels are still left to
take part In the elimination races Off
Gloucester on October IL. 10 and IA,
and against none OF these hive the
trustees voiced any objections, doubt
less for the reason that each one of
them was economically built for fish
ing at sea with no thought of racing
in the mind OF the designer.

ment. He was bold enough to refuse
to nominate Justice NEwBURGER. an
act which brought a strong rebuke
from the public. A year ago. when
he tried the same tactics In the case
Of Justice TALLEY, he was forced to

Lity was In 1917 when. although Al
SMITH was the logical candidate for
the Mayoralty nomination. MURPHY
entered the bargain which resulted In
the election OF HYLAN.
MURPHY was bold enough when, as
the leader of New York county only,
he welcomed conflict with McCARRES:
but as he grew to be the boss OF the
whole city organization, reducing the
Democratic chieftains OF the other
boroughs to satraps. he substituted
crude and weak sort OF cunning for
his old daring. Nor has he done well
with the State organization. Three
Democrats have been elected Cover

and SMITH-and SMITH alone has re-
fiected credit on the Democratic
party. And his principles, his ideas
OF administration. did not come from
Fourteenth street. The Hall does not
exude great political doctrines. Mr.
MURPHY does not expound them. He
once remarked that he was 'for the
Uplift" and then hastily withdrew to
that shell of silence which has served
him so we'll
After these twenty years the Boss

achievement. The organization still

The Tammany Hall contractors,

names of men who would never have
received the ermine II he had not
willed 1t. To write mans name on
slip of paper and thereby make
that man a Judge Of the Supreme
Court for fourteen years at $1750o a
year-that's power. power which the
Boss has enjoyed dozen times.
A few months ago. when asked
when he was going to resign, Mr..
MURPHY said that it would be when
his beard reached his knees. Since
then, however, the round. inscrutable
and somewhat cherubic face has been
as smooth as ever. The Boss, only
64, treats Time lightly. Years ago,
when our neighbor the World longed
for the abdication of MURPHY, 1t used
to cry periodically Must a Boss be

have to inquire Must q Boss be a

Golf Keeps Them Young.

No event among contests in outdoor
sports has q more salutary lesson for
the public than the Seniors golhng
tournament. The competitors are
men between the ages OF 55 and so,
and the play is mastery on occa-
sions. an instance being the ~ of

president of the Seniors, made over

What golf has done for individuals
In middle life and in the period which
was described as old age before men
found Joy on the links is apparent
in the alert bearing, the activity and
generally contented demeanor OF its
devotees.
Mr.. SNARE has been a diligent pro-
moter OF golf for many years. The
people of Cuba owe him much for
his interest In the game. The Coun-
try Club OF Havana. whose links are
among the sportlest to be found any
where, owes its popularity in great
degree TO his untiring efforts. When
golf was introduced into Cuba the
prediction was made that IL would

Congress as the Supreme Court.

The American Federation OF Labor
announces it is going to try 70 amend
the Constitution OF the United State,
so as to enable Congress to decide
whether any OF its own acts are or
are not constitutional. The Supreme
Court will be permitted to express its
opinion but the legislating Congress
Will decide the matter.
This is a fair enough proposition.
although il would work the nullifica-
tion of large part. and in the last
analysis the most important part, OF
the powers and duties of the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
IL Is fair enough proposition be-
cause the Constitution itself provides
that anybody has the right to try to
amend that fundamental instrument
of the nation under the methods OF
procedure prescribed in the same
fundamental law.
1t Is a fair enough proposition, al
though it amounts to an attempt to
have Congress make new Constitu-
tion for the nation. because in the
course OF Congress rewriting the
Constitution with the various laws
hat Congress would pass and then
dacide were constitutional by the re-
passage of the laws over the decision

pers scheme proposes, sooner or later

The Balance of Europe.
An Explanation OF England's Attitude
Toward German Trade.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Some
weeks ago Lord Beaverbrook in an ad-
dress before the Reading Chamber of
Commerce particularly called attention
to the fact that Ensiand's prosperity
and therefore the employment of her
worSmen were not dependent upon any
single foreign market. He showed that
In 1913 only 20.7 per cent. OF Great
Britain's exports went to Germany, Rus
sia, Austria-Hungsry and the Balkans
all combined. including Greece and Tur-
key. And since only 80 per cent. Of
her total production was exported these
countries took only 6.2 per cent. Of ner
total production.
His contention was that the English
were enormously magnifying the i'm
portance of the central and eastern
European markets and he advised them
to turn their eyes TO the development
of the empires trade and the extra
European world. including this country.
Englands exports to India alone
amounted to 75 per cent. more than those
to Germany. and to India, Australia
and Canada they amounted TO az times
those to Germany. according to tho
Statesman's Year Book for 1914.
Lord Beaverbrook's idea seems to be
that the revival OF the German market
is too small a matter for Lloyd George
to employ as a continuous brake on
Frances settlement with Germany Any
Englishman who will stop and think
will recall the fact that up to the war
of 1914 England with her free trade
was perfect dumping ground for
German goods and that Germany was
fully protected with her scientific tariff
against the entrance of British manu-
factured products. In fact her imports
from Germany amounted to twice her
exports to her.
The cry of revived German market,
then, for British goods and the conse-
quent revivification of employment for
the British workman Is merely cover
for concealing the real motive OF the
British Governments attitude toward
Germany and therefore toward France.
The domination OF the Continent by
ono great Power has never been an
IDEAL state OF affairs for English diplo-
macy Having removed Germany from
this exalted position England now finds
II occupied by France. Since no oppor-
tunity exists for removing France her.
self sho considers II most feasible to
solve the problem by again restoring
Germany and reestablishing a Conti-
mental eouipoise.
Neither the German mark nor the
German market has anything to do with
Engiands policy, and Lloyd Georges
effort 70 spread this idea is like food
ing his people with mere moonshino--
and very pale moonshne at that.

have been Ill advised In making a pub
lie complaint as to the notice given Mr.
Baker IN the Encyclopedia Britannica
They have given It q hundred tines the

They might instead have congratulated
themselves on what was omitted.
Would they have been pleased to have
had reference made to that order to
officers of the army for special consid-
GRAFTON in the treatment OF pacifist pris-
oners, which forbade those officers to
reveal the existence OF such order. or TO
have recalled the fact that our soldiers
had to be instructed with wooden guns,
or to the misleading announcement OF
Mr.. Baker that a rifle for each man
would be ready when they reached
France. ooncealing the fact that in ac-
tive warfare several rifles for zach was
necessary?
Our soldiers were short IN rapid Are
guns. The Lewis gun was being manu-
featured in large quantities for English
forces. 1t could have been turned out
at once for our men. Long delay to
perfect and turn out another model is
what occurred.
The United States spent money like
water to provide airplanes. but our SOL
diers In France lacked them. Our field
artillery had to accept from hard pressed
France her 75s. and of the heavy guns
for which the people paid enormous
sums in taxes only one or two reached
the front before the armistice.
The last conspicuous act of Mr.. Baker
was an intensive campaign for recruits
after the Administration had been
showed under at the November election
and he knew that his successor would
reduce the army. He thus willfully
added to the heavy war debt by this
move In disregard OF public welfare. (
