Of the leading buildings of Jaipure, In-'

like singing In the distance, but the
noise Is made by the action OF the air

whose crimes may be classed as po-
litical Is usually speculative. But 1t
is not likely that the shooting of
CHILDERs will cause any considerable
Irish reaction in favor of the insur-
gents. Only few months ago the
irreconcilables, led in spirit by
CHnDERs and DE VALERA, ambushed
and killed MICHAEL COLLINS, man
whose services to Ireland in the days
Of her real need were incomparably
greater than any rendered by chill
DERs or DE VALERA.
The Free State must live and it
is evident that to live it must use a
strong hand. It's recent offer OF i'm
munity to all the irreconcilables, in
cluding CHIIDERs, IL they would lay
down their arms was scorned. The
execution of CHnDERs is perhaps the
answer to that defiance. 1t may give
pause to those who thought that an
Irish government would never dare
to punish insurrection with death.

Anticipating AL Smith.

The letter of Governor-elect SMITH
to the State Water Power Commits
sion proves to have been unnecessary.
That body announces that it had no
intention of acting this year on the
applications Of private companies
which wish to develop water power.
The commission has done the fair
thing in leaving these grants to the
action Of the next State administra-
tion. 1t has recognized the fact that
in electing Mr.. SMITH and his Demo-
cratic colleagues Of the State ticket
the voters indorsed the declaration
of the Democratic platform that
"hydroelectric power can and should
be developed as a State owned public
utility in every section of the Com
monwealth."
The people Of the State may regret
plunging New York into the expense
of such a program. In time they may
see that Governor MuLERs policy Of
letting private corporations develop
our water power under State control
is the efficient and economical way.
But election day verdicts must be
needed and the Water Power Com
mission has done the proper and
graceful thing in postponing the issue
Of grants.

Mr.. Clemenceau's Plea.
Comment Based on Frances Atti

To TIE NEW York HERALD: Permit
a reader Of your paper to make public
few words Of comment on Mr.. Gle
menceau's speech.
Mr.. Clemenceau does not claim to
have any unselfsh motive, and I be-
lieve that an alliance such as he pro-
poses would be to our beneit by virtue
Of maintaining peace In Europe. be-
lieve that our joining in an agreement
with the Allies would have purifying
effect on their politics and purge them
Of the suspicion OF self-seeking.
Nevertheless, cannot help melan-
choly smile because It Is clear that this
clamor for our friendship comes rs an
afterthought, lacking the genuinencss of
spontaneity. 1t comes after series of
fruitless attempts to split UP Germany.
to crush her beyond the hope of recov-
cry. and before the slightest attempt to
strengthen tho hand Of the new democ-
racy of Germany by an attitude Of help
fulness and conciliation which would
have gone q long way toward checking
the seeds of revenge taking root in the
German heart. seeds Of whose exist
ence Mr.. Clemenceau appears conscious
and the thought of which. fills his heart
with fear. ia. LANE.

Obstacles Reported to Shipping I'm
Less Than Barge Lots.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: We han
die a low priced bulky article in the
cost OF which the freight counts very
largely. A year ago we started out to
see If It were not possible to use the
Barge Canal for distribution and the
information we got was that there was
absolutely no use In trying to ship less
than barge lots by canal.
1t was possible to ship carload once
in while, but there were so many diff
hculties in getting the goods on board
OF the barge that IL was not practicable
to ship by canal. From the Information
we have got we are OF the opinion that
the Barge Canal will be useless for the
ordinary shipper until there is an or
ganization along the canal to receive
and ship in carload and less than car
load quantities.
In former years. before the Barge
Canal opened. we were able to ship to
a great many places by canal in any
quantity. but this has all been done
away with and we are now confined TO
railroad shipments.
1t does seem too bad with all the
money that has been put into the Barge
Canal--a very large part of which came
from taxation In New York city-that
we should not get any use Of It.

Soviet Russia at Vladivostok.

The Far Eastern Republic, or. as 1t
Is commonly known, the Chita Gov
ernment, has by vote of its Assem-
bly, terminated fits separate existence
and asked for union with Soviet
Russia. Information from Moscow
is to the effect that the union will be
effected and the republic will retain
a local autonomy similar to that Of
small republics in European Russia.
Before the republic signed its own
death warrant, however, ii had, with
the assistance OF Soviet troops, occu-
pied Primorskaya, the most impor-
tant OF the Siberian coast provinces,
upon its evacuation by the Japanese
army. Soviet Russia is thus in au5,
thoritative control from Petrograd to
Vladivostok.
America has been interested in the
Far Eastern Republic ever since its
declaration of independence in April,
1920. The constitutional Govern
ment, which was set up a year later
at Chita, brought security to the In
habitants and to the infant indus
tries that we're established. The
country, however, suffered from the
unsettled condition OF Primorskaya,
on its eastern border. This province
became the prey OF Asiatic adven-
turers and six different governments
were set up by force and overthrown
by the same means. This condition
was one OF the reasons offered by
the japanese for sending an army to
the Siberian coast, a move which
was vigorously opposed by the Chita
Government.
The value Of Primorskaya to the
Chita Government lay in the fact
that vladivostok, its capital was the
natural outlet for the republic TO the
sea. II explains too the reason why
the Government occupied It as soon
as the japanese left the country. The
Far Eastern Republic has because Of
this port a better opportunity for the
development OF its mineral resources
and OF finding a market for its agri-
cultural resources. But on the other
hand II has not the same freedom Of

Erskine Childers.

The case OF EBsKINE CHILDERs re-
sembled in some respects that of Sir
ROGER EASEMENT. Both these tragic
figures were OF English blood (;
neither was of the ancient Irish faith.
Both served the British Empire with
honor; both turned against 1t with
fury as wild as II was inexplicable.
EASEMENT went further in his fanati-
cism than most of the old Sim Fein
would go. for he Joined Germany in
reasonable conspiracy against his
own land, against the King who had
knighted him. CHrLpERs fought not
only England, which he had served
well, but the Irish Free State, estab-
lished by the very men who con-
verted him to the Sim Fein cause.
There was pity here and there for
EASEMENT when England hanged him
as a traitor. Men believed that Sir
RoGER's mind must have given way
under the stress OF his work in the
tropics. work OF real service TO hu-
manity and his country. And there will
be pity here and there for ERsKrNE
CHILDERs. There is always pity for
a man who dies in cause he believes
Just, even when-as in this instance
his mistake is only too obvious.
But in CHnDERs's case there will be
no suggestion that he was mad. His
was not that kind OF mind. His was
the fanaticism of intellect, not of
passion.
1t was this very coldness OF mind
that made CHILDERs dangerous TO the
Irish Free State. He was TO the ir-
reconcilables what ARTHUR GRIFFrrH
had been to the Sim Fein--a thinker
and a planner. He had neither the
eloquence nor the magnetism Of
DE VALERA, but he could direct the
campaign against the Government
He was not popular enough to win a
seat in the Dali, but he was mental
giant among his followers.

New Eorforwick.
Gratitude Due From This Town to
an Early Spelling RefOrmer.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A bit Of
etymology that I recently came upon
has special interest for New Yorker
The title Of Eboracum, the military
capital of Roman Britain, was in Old
English Eorforwick. no less. The name
was shortened in the course OF time to
the modern English name Of York.
Probably no laurels were ever lovingly
entwined in gratitude about the brow of
that early and bold innovator who iirst
suggested this abbreviation OF the elab-
orate and cumbrous Eorforwick. But
they ought to have been. Perhaps he
endured persecution as meddler and an
iconoclast and was even outlawed from
his Indignant clan when he proposed the
change. The path OF the reformed
speller is never smooth.
And yet the daring suggestion finally
won the day. The conservative Eorfor-
wick was relegated to the genealogical
junk pile and the snappy though radical
York officially adopted.
But II no honor or reward has been
allotted TO this unknown benefactor in
his own land It surely ought to be, even
though SO late. in the city that but for
him or another equally progressive
would be now toiling along under the
portentous name of New Eorforwick
DO we realize what we have escaped
through the ancient reformer? The pro-
nunciations even of our briefer title
by newsboy and subway guard, by out
of town visitor and bewildered immi-
grant, by Bowery and The Bronx. are
wild and strange enough in all conr
science. But let Imagination deal for
few moments with the possible per-
mutations and cacophonies OF New Eor-
forwick Think Of writing 1t. reading It
in It's innumerable public uses, or even
singing II in that refrain OF the loyal
natives ballad. Little Old Eorforwick
Is Good Enough for Me-"
Surely the vote for the abbreviator's
belated laurel wreath should be unani-
