MFR. Hylan at His Worst

"Balderdash" was the word that
Superintendent Ettinger applied 70
the utteranees Of the Mayor upon
the building Of schools, and his word
seems a conservative summary Of
the case. Mr.. Hylsn scolded "Ettin-
ger and Nudd and the Gary and
Rockefeller educational interests
for the fact that his own admins
tration had failed to build schools I!
If Mr.. Hylan really believed any
such inversion Of fact he would be
deserving Of sympathy, not blame.
But he does not. He is simply ex-
ploding with rage, as is his nature
when shown up, and emitting the
first words that come to the top Of
his mind, nonsense OF worse.
As everybody connected with the
schools knows, there would be no
part time to-day IL the Gary system
and the building plan which it called
for had been carried into effect. Mr..
Hylan scorned this intelligent solu-
ton Of the part-time problem and
has offered no other. Now that he
is caught in his bluff and in the
position of denying education TO sew
eral hundred thousand Of the city's
children, he can only seold and sput-
ter in reply.
The city's sympathy and appreci-
alton belong TO Mr.. Ettinger. He
has made an extraordinary success
in the face Of insuperable obstacles.
He has succeeded in maintaining the
morale Of the public schools, despite
a consistent policy Of illiteracy pur-
sued by the Mayor. Upon him and
upon the teachers Of the city has
fallen a heavy part Of the burden
imposed by Mr.. Hylan's stand. The
rest reposes upon the helpless heads
of the boys and girls to whom Mr..
Hylan has refused an education.

Travelling With a Tether

Only a decided taste for travel
would impel a man to circumnavi-
gate the earth 400 times in twenty.
two years, yet the call Of the modi-
fed wild about Cape May, N. j.,
has carried Henry j. Fleischauer,
probably the worlds champion COM
muter, as many miles-namely, a
million-in the same space Of time.
When Mr.. Fleischauer first began
hurrying TO catch the 5:i5 out Of
Philadelphia the train boys were
still selling chewing tobacco, and
the conductors and brakemen used
10 stop and chat about the health
Of the family as they punched
tickets or lit the oil lamps swinging
overhead.
He has seen advertising billboards
along the way grow from mere
hoardings TO elaborate mountain
scenery and whole herds Of wooden
grazing cows. II, as Mr.. Ruskin OBJ
served, mo scene is continually loved
but one made rich by joyful human
labor" Mr.. Fleisehauer has been
blessed with affection for the con-
tiguous countryside, where in these
twenty-five years he must have
learned 10 love every merrily whis-
ting plowhand and esroling hay
maker between the Quaker City
and the sea.
In his day the plodding piebald
has given place to the "one-lung"
automobile, the "one-lunger" has
been thrust out Of the road by the
double six, and the double six has
striven in vain 10 keep pace with
the airplane that scared overhead.
This Is an age Of specialization.
No traveller can hope to follow
Amundsen 10 the South Pole and
Peary to the North, or TO fry his ele-
phant steaks on the shores Of Vic
toria Nyanza. Most Of humanity
must be content to see a little Of the
earth's surface and to learn 10 know
il. What Mr.. Fleischauer, unless he
is one Of those committing bridge
players, doesn't know about the
world that lies between Philadelphia
and Cape May can hardly be worth
knowing.

Playing England's Game

Senator La Toilette has made
himself one Of the white hopes" OF
the British shipping interests. The
announcement Ct his determination
to hold up the House shipping bill
excites enthusiasm in British ship
ping circles. According 70 "The
Marine Journal" the following in
formation was sent out the other
day by a British ticker service,
following the Wisconsin Senator's
statement:
Expected defeat Of
ship subsidy bill in United States
Senate Is having marked efe,t on
shipping shares here. Peninsular and
Oriental Steamship Company rose
five points yesterday, Royal Mail
three and half points and Cunard
one and a half points"
Possibly the same reaction was
felt in Hamburg. the great recon-
stituted German shipping center.
Battling Bob" has on other occa-
slons given foreign shipping cause
to rise up and call his name blessed.
The La Toilette Seamen's act was
a godsend 10 other merchant ma
rines. II made effective American
competition on the high seas a still
more distant possibility. The sea-
mems act directed the President to
teke steps TO sbrogate portions Of
cSr treaties Of commerce with for
2gn nations. Mr.. Wilson took
nose steps, and the treaty provisions
Canding in the way Of our enforce
ment Of the seamen's law were an
pulled through negotiation.
The other powers were receptive
perhaps because they were glad to
fave the United States burdened
with the seamen's act. But when it
came to negotiating for the re-
moval Of treaty impediments to the
enforcement Of the discriminating
duty section of the Underwood
tariff law or Of the Jones shipping
law Of 1920 our maritime rivals
were adamant.
Germany and Great Britain would
have much to gain from the failure
Of the shipping bill in the Senate.
They know where their interests
lie. Senator La Toilette and his
followers also know where they lie.
Whatever their other purposes are
in fighting this measure, they can
not escape responsibility for aiding
foreign shipping TO keep its grip on
ocean trade AID for denying Ameri-
can shipping a fair chance to re-
establish itself.

The Spirit and the Tiger

Hardly comforting TO Tammany
can be Governor-elect Smiths assur-
ance that he will still be with 1t in
spirit, even after he departs to re-
sumo his interrupted labors at Al
bany. Spirits are vague and unsub-
stantial. Even the most hardened
Tammany ofIiee-seeker would hesi-
tate to cry "You know me. All" 10
such being, no matter how badly
he needed a job.
On the other hand, it is TO be
hoped that Mr.. Smith meant no more
than he said in his farewell address
70 the Tiger. He is his own man
now, not Murphy's. And If he Is 10
give the state the sort Of admins
tration he promised it, and is capa-
BILE Of giving it, he will DO well TO
leave in Tammany Hall only q spirit
which will be powerless to execute
the orders Of the boss.
What the people who elected Mr..
Smith-and there were many hun
dred thousands of them-are con-
cerned with is his bodily presence in
Albany, not his spiritual presence in
Tammany Hall. They have enjoyed
an excellent administration and they
will not be content with one less ex-
cellent.
In the next two years new sub
ways and a vehicular tunnel must be
built In New York City, canal termi-
nails and canal power must be devel-
oped through the state and many un-
necessary expenses which Governor
Miller has already pruned must be
cut out altogether.
This is the sort of work which Mr..
Smith cannot do well with the ad-
vice and counsel or the help Of Tam
many Hall. II is not to be expected
that he viii altogether turn his back
on the organization from which he
sprnng; but he has the intelligenee
70 know what Tammany is and what
II wants, and the success Of his ad-
ministration viii be in direct proper

Too Hasty

Too Hasty
When Doctor Osler, long ago,
Declared that man past forty
years
Had lost the bright and youthful
glow
That brings to fruitage great
careers;
Although II caused our hearts to
ache,
And gave our sympathies n
shock,
We promptly took our Uncle
Jake
And tossed him off the nearest
dock.
"Tt's sad" said we, as he went
down
And cast at US a glance severe,
"But he would gather no renown
II he remained upon this
sphere.
The world would profit not a whit
By any deed or word Of his.
It's more, perhaps, than he'd
admit
But he is better where he isP
But now that Henry Ford de-
clares
That every man that he's en-
rolled
To help him manage his affairs
Is we'll past forty-fye years old,
And that no man whose age IS
less
Can walk the rough and troubled
way
That leads directly to success,
We're filled with a profound
dismay.
Supposing Uncle Jake were here;
Suppose that he could be re-
stored;
He might achieve a great career,
And get q job with Henry Ford.
We may have made a grave mis-
take;
The pangs of anguish wiring
