Days When Horses Suffer.

Everybody fond Of dumb animals
will sympathize with the truck horses
of New York when a storm like that
Of Wednesday covers the streets with
sheet of snow and ice as smooth
as glass, making the going not only
hard but dangerous. Practical SYM
pathy can reduce their toll and suf.
fering in large measure.
Under such conditions care should
be taken to have horses well shod
and to prevent overlooking of trucks.
1t Is nothing short of criminal to
overtax the pulling powers of horses
on icy streets, and though there are
instances in which this is done 1t
is to the credit Of most of the men
engaged in the trucking business that
they do not offend in this respect as
q rule. Better a smaller load and
sound horses than a stable full of
cripples.
While the improvement in the
treatment of draft animals in recent
years cannot be credited entirely to
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, nevertheless that
organization has played its part in
making conditions better, as it has
impressed on the minds of owners
Of horses the fact that ownership

of beating or otherwise abusing
dumb animals.
Paris has been described as a para
disc for humanity and a hell for
horses, and the visitor to that city
often comes away with unpleasant
memories of the way the cab horses
are treated. Sentiment in this coun-
try would not tolerate such condi-
tions. There is no place in any
stable or on any truck in New York
for a man known to be habitually
brutal in his treatment of horses.
The problem of getting a horse on
his feet after a fall on an icy street
is not as difficult as it seems to the
uninitiated. A heavy blanket or
piece Of burlap placed under the
front feet of the animal will give
him a grip and confidence. These
provided he will do the rest himself.
Here we have an illustration of the
horses desire to join with man in
doing the work at hand. and it is
only fair. that in return for this
spirit OF helpfulness man should pro-
vide him with proper equipment,
as, for example. the right kind of
shoes to enable him to do his work
on fee covered streets.

Newberry Retains His Seat.

BY a vote of 4G to Al the Sen
ate yesterday upheld TRUMAN II.
NEwBERIY in his fight for his seat
in that body. 1t has been bitter,
long drawn ont contest, covering more
than three years. Though ending in
favor of the Senator, the victory is
hollow one. 1t can be nothing else
with so many of his own party voting
against him. Their opposition. to
be sure, was not aimed at Senator
NEwBERRY himself, but rather was
because of the complications of the
whole matter, involving a great trial
at law in which the verdict went
against him, though afterward it was
reversed.
Moreover, 1t has been the convic-
tion of his political friends who
opposed him in this contest in the
Senate that he should have resigned
his seat and taken his case back to
the people of his State for their
verdict.
This was the contention of THE
New York HERALD, though holding
the most friendly feelings for Senator
NEwBERRy, and it still thinks he
should do this very thing. The re-
tention of his seat in the circum-
stance cannot be worth while.

Fair Prices for Farmers.
People Buy Freely When Employ,
ment Is Plentiful.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Edwin
Mcknight in his letter OF advice to the
farmers is undoubtedly right in his
recommendations, yet he fails to tell the
principal reason for the present low
prices OF farm products.
Cheap prices increase exports. but
this does not indicate prosperity for the
farmers: too low prices fail to compen-
safe them for the cost Of production.
The pinnacle Of prices for agricultural
products is In the opulent homo market
Of the United States. This prosperity
comes from the increased domestic
sales and is accelerated by the free and
buoyant manner in which the people
buy when their incomes are assured {;
but when they are idle or their jobs
are in jeopardy then they haggle over
and get lower prices.
Every Industrial panic since the civil
war has exemplfed this condition. In
1894 when Coxey's army made its march
TO Washington demanding work corn
was selling for ten cents a bushel and
other farm products in proportion.
The true panacea. guaranteed to give
the farmer fair prices. Is abundant and
permanent work in creative industry.

A number Of District Attorneys OF
this State are having confab in
Albany on the subject of crime. This
takes in the violations OF the Vol
stead law. II must be the defiance
of the prohibition statute that the
District Attorneys have in mind
when they declare as follows in an
appeal to the public:
"our so-called reputable and re-
sponsible citizens must not wink at
the violation OF some laws and thus
lead TO dsrcspcct for ali laws. We
are not pleading but demanding that

Conquering Sand.

Farmers have always used ever
green trees as windbreaks. They
not only afford shelter from winter
winds but their fine foliage provides
a harmonious background for the
farmhouse and outbuildings.
Recent employment of evergreens
in another field OF usefulness has
been greatly extended. Hemlocks and
pines have been found effective on a
large scale in arresting drifting sand;
under the protection of large planta-
tions crops are being produced on
land which once was regarded as
unfit for cultivation.
This is only one of the ways in
which afforestation is going to play
part in bringing into production
territory that has seemed unfit for
farming purposes. 1t is one more
victory for science in agriculture.

Five Years Atop the World.

Polar expeditions from ABRUzzr

FRANKLIN and PARRY in the nine
teenth century were monotonously
alike in their failure to hang wreaths
on the two poles simply because they
could not build ship which no ice
pack could nip or sink. Somewhere
beyond S6 degrees north latitude the

Once safely perched on top of the
ice the egg shaped ship will rest
there in safety for five years, more or
less, with Captain AMUNDsEN and
his men comfortably ensconced in
tssir cabins, eating condensed food,
of which they will carry a seven
years supply, and making notes.

Monuments Under Repair.
A Statement of What the Park De.
partment Is Doing.

| To THE New YORK HERALD: The fol-
lowing are the facts regarding certain
monuments in this city which were the
subject of criticism in letters printed in
your paper:
| Pulitzer Fountain--A contract has
been awarded for replacing the stone
steps. Funds have been requested from
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment for weatherproofng and replacing
other deteriorated stones on main struc-
ture of the fountain. Any excavations
and tearing up Of streets around the
fountain have been done by other de-
partments. The feed valve for the foun-
tain has been closed for two or three
months. The small quantity Of rain
water which has frozen in some of the
bowls will do no harm. A request for
funds with which to proceed with the
work of cleaning and waterproofing the
rest Of this monument has been made
to the Board of Estimate.
Columbus Monument-When the Co
lumbus monument was cleaned last fall
efforts were made to clean the stained
parts of the marble figure 1t was
found that nothing but acid would re-
move this discoloration, and as the con-
tractor was prohibited by the terms OF
his contract from using acid, on account
Of its bad effect on the marble, these
stains were not removed.
Maine Monumental very small ap-
propriation was available for cleaning
and waterproofng portion OF the
Maine monument, namely. the prov OF
the boat and the figure OF the boy
standing upon 1t. The work Is nearly
complete. The wreath in the left hand
was loose and removed for safekeeping
1t will be properly replaced.
Verdi Monument-The Verdi monu-
ment at Seventy-third street and Broad
way is undergoing renovation and
weatherproofing whenever the weather
permits.
It Is no unusual occurrence for van
dals to break of small parts of monu-
ments Of bronze or stone.

Boris Godunov' was given last eve-
ming at the Metropolitan Opera House
before an audience Of great size. AL
the standing room was packed and hun
d-eds were turned away. The cause
Of the public interest was. o: course. the
repetition OF Feodor Chaliapin's splen-
did impersonation OF the conscience
stricken Gear. To those who had heard
the famous Russian in his first appear
ances of the season the performance of
last evening was OF especial Importance.
When Mr. Chaliapin sang Boris the first
time he was suffering from cold which
cbliterated the natural quality Of his
voice and maze his delivery labored.
Last evening he was in perfect COM
mand OF his voice, and the whole meas
ure OF its extraordinary richness and
beauty was disclosed. Furthermore, he
was able to show his consu-lmate COM
r and of tone and his noble style. Mr..
Chaliapin at his best-as he was last
nights a singer Of great skill. as well
as an actor OF the first order. His Boris
was magnificent. 1t held tac audience
in breathless attention, and at the close
of the great scenes there was prolonged
applause. The death scene was the cli-
r,ax of the impeysonation. There has
been nothing so thrilling in this line
since Hiemann's death of SscJfried. The
other members of the cast were the
same as before.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 1a, 1922.
The Political Upheaval in France.

The impending thing in the French
Government has happened. BRAND
is out. His Cabinet is out, PoINcARE
has achieved his purpose.
1t is an easy thing to run the other
fellows job when you don't run it.
BRAND is quite as radical as PoINCARE,
doubtless more so. But BRAND has
had the load to carry, has been face
to face with actualities that have
tempered his radicalism and COM
PEELED intelligent compromise with
stern and trying realities.
PoINcARE hasn't been carrying
BRANDS load. He has had on his
shoulders none of BRANDS response
bilities. He hasn't had to guide the
ship of state at home, carry public
opinion with him and meet vast in
ternational issues vital to France, to
the rehabilitation of Europe and to
the peace Of the world.
If PoINcARE had been on BRANDS
Job it is safe to conclude that he
would not have been more radical
than BRAND has been and that he
would have met the issues with quite
as much give and take as BRIAND
employed in meeting them.
Conversely if PoINcABE had been
Premier and BRAND had been gun
ming for him his ammunition would
have been as radical and as deadly
as PoINcARE's has been. If PoINCARE
succeeds to the Premiership the
world need not be unduly alarmed
because of his anti-Briand radicalism
Charged with the responsibilities of
lis great office he, like BRIAND, will
moderate his views and temper his
acts to the supreme needs of the i'm
pelling situations of after war read.
justment.
Considered merely in respect of
q move on the chessboard OF
French politics, BRrANp's going and
PoINcAREs triumph are not of signal
consequence. But considered in re
spect of the extreme delicacy of
international relations at this time
and in respect Of the vast problems
and intricate complications with
which BRAND has become intimately
familiar in all their bearings and
shadings, change of Premiers is
seriously to be regretted.
The immediate cause Of BRANDS
downfall is his negotiations with
England on questions that would
seem to be of the greatest possible
interest to France. Renouncing him
for his accord with the Lloyd George
program can hardly help having a
chilling effect on England. Any
thing making for strained relations
between these two nations and tend.

this juncture would be nothing short
