'Twixt WI and Chang

General Wu's private army has
beaten General Changes private
army and the Picking government,
which is government without an
army and al present without a
treasury, will pass again under the
influence Of Central Chinas war
lord. Chang. a Manchurian cx-
bandit, descended on the capital
much in the manner Of the founder
of the Manchu imperial house.
Though temporarily mild hammered
and advertising a desire for the 20
lltlcal unification of the republic,
Changes antecedents and environ
ment hardly have jibed with liberal
ism and modernity
Three reasons exist for prefer
ring Wu's ascendancy if some mill
tary chieftain must prop up the CEN
trial government. Chang probably
would be more inclined than WI
to wink at restoration of the
Manchu monarchy if another con-
splracy for that purpose were
Matched. He is a Northerner. and
Northerner from beyond the Great
Wall.
WI also is little more in har
mony with the idea of civilianism
IN government than Chang is. The
Chinese are anti-militaristic in their
ideas. They prefer the rule of the
robe and the pen to the rule of the
sword. They look on the MERGE
nary local armies as pests. The sol
diers impose their sway because the
central and local governments are
impotent, but the wisest of the
militarists know that the Chinese
mind doesn't take kindly to the sort
OF sovereignty which they offer.
Again, WI is less suspected than
Chang of anti-nationalstic, pro-
Japanese tendencies. The latter has
been thrown into close contact with
the Japanese occupation and ex-
ploitation in Manchuria. The Japa-
nese know how to utilize the friend
ship of Chinese generals and poll
ticians. With WI protecting Pc
king, the central government prob
ably would be more in sym-
pathy with the proc Chinese sentj-
ment Of the country than if Chang
were overload.
Against these conclusions favor
able to WI must be set the fact that

Dangerous Thoughts

And riot I've never melted,

domain

For instance, when crushed in a
crowd
Whose elbows are thrust in my

To the thoughts that arise in
my breast.

and again

And laggard in wrath as a rule,
And though | get inwardly riled

Lehman and Cohalan

Two judicial places of the first
rank are to be filled in November
The term of Mr.. Justice Irving Leh-
man expires and so does that of Sur
rogate John p. Cohalan. Both are
understood to be willing to continue
on the bench.
The Bar Association is to meet on
Tuesday to consider what action it
will recommend to the voters. 1t
seems certain it will indorse both
candidates. on the familiar ground
that sitting elected judges Of good
record and admitted competence
should be preferred no matter what
party label formerly attached to
them.
Of the applicability of the rule to
Justice Lehman there appears no
doubt, and he seems assured of the
Endorsement of both parties. The
Republican organization has an un-
broken record of having indorsed for
reelection Supreme Court justices
who have served faithfully and who
continue competent. AS to Surro-
gate Cohalan, it is the first time, 50
far as is recalled, that the question
of indorsing a Surrogate has arisen.
A Surrogate on general principles
would seem TO fall within the rule,
but there is lack of definite precedent
The double Endorsement of Surro-
rogate Cohalan would seem a strong
likelihood, although not a certainty
The Tribune has long been an up
holder of the non-partisan judiciary
idea. This year the major dividend
goes to Tammany. But this circum-
stance will make no difference in it's
attitude.

tain interests and newspapers. They

500 men at various station houses TO
juggle the Statistics
Inasmuch as all crime statistics
are given out by Mr.. Enrigbt
(when they are given out at
alb this statement is hardly con
vincing. 1t is perfectly feasible for
the Commissioner to fake statistics
if he chooses to do so without being
IN collision with anybody Indeed,
there are many reasons to believe
his crime statistics are thus home
brewed.
For a long time Mr.. Enright re-
fused absolutely to make public re-
ports of robberies. hold-ups and
murders, his avowed reason being
that the criminals must not be per
mltted to know that the police were
on their trail,
When the crime wave was at its
height The Tribune discovered that
many reports Of robberies were not
entered in "the squeal book" which
is the departments euphemism for
the blotter at station houses. In
stead they were noted in "the can"
a private book withheld from
public inspection and abolished
during Commissioner Woods's adj
ministration.
No inspector, captain or lieuten-
ant IN any precinct was permitted to
give out information about crime
without first securing the permits
sion of the Commissioner.
Mr.. Enright was the only man
who had all this information. He
was the only man who could have
supplied full list of crimes. In
making out the statistics on which
he bases his denial of crime wave
he was restrained only by his CON
science. If it was not to his inter
est to let the public know how MANY
crimes were being committed it was
within his power to withhold the
facts.
The fact that burglary insurance
rates have risen in New York 1910
per cent since the Enright regime
began is alone sufficient proof that
criminals are out of hand in this
city. If that is not enough evidence
the fact that the Governor found it
necessary to brighten the Commits
sioner into action may be spread
on the record. Then there are thou
sands of citizens who can supply
the evidence of their own eyesight
to close the case against the Com
missioner.
Mr.. Enright will not do himself

tons that crime conditions are less

N. Y. PAPERS CUT DOWN;
PRESSMEN IN DISPUTE
Finally Agree to Accept Arbitra-
ton Award With Request for
Notifications.

Isy Associated Press TO Every Evening.
New York, March Morning news
papers published in this city appeared
in abbreviated form today because OF
controversy arising from the pressmen's
wage arbitration award made on Feb
ruary % by Judge Martin I. Manton,
of the United States Court Of Appeals,
A meeting of members OF Newspapers
Web Pressmen's Union, Number 25,
the local organization, which began at
5 o clock last night, did not adjourn
until so late this morning that the
publishers were forced to print eight
page papers, eliminating nearly all adj
vertislng and special features. George
l.. Berry, president of the international
Printing Pressmen's and Assistants
Union Of North America, was present.
The meeting, reported TO have been
a stormy one, resulted IN the union
agreeing to abide by Judge Manton 5
award, but it was decided that COM
mittee Of y be appointed to negotiate
with the publishers in an effort to
effect a modification of some Of its terms
which were found Objectionable.
The union members were ordered to
return 10 work in the press Rooms .of
today's papers, and TO report for duty
hereafter at the regular hours.
The organization views some tea-
lures of Judge Manton's award as i'm
practicable and unfair" said David
Simons, president OF the union, this
morning. There was an element at
last nights meeting which urged reiec-
ton of the whole award, but the conserva-
tives present succeeded in securing a
vote to abide by the decision of Judge
Manton. In a couple of days the COM
mittee appointed at the meeting will
meet representatives of the publishers
to open negotiations looking TO modi-
| fication of the terms laid down in the
award"
The publishers held a meeting late
last night, but issued no statement.
Earlier in the night they declared they
would abide by the arbitration award
adding that If the local and inter-
national pressmen's unions, both Of
which signed the agreement to arbitrate
all differences, now Tepudiate the de-
| clsion, the newspaper owners would not
again make contract with the press
mems union.
The decision handed down by Judge
Manton fixed S5l and s45 as pay for
hay pressmen-in-charge, and journey
men, respectively, and S54 and SiS for
night pressmen-ln-charge and journey
men.
Don c. Seitz, manager of the New

fishers meeting this morning, that the
differences between the pressmen and
