The Last Defense

The people OF tho State Of New
York did not elect John r. Hylan
Governor at the last election. The
Democrats did not nominate Mr..
Hylau for Governor. Instead they
nominated the man Mr.. Hylan most
violently opposed before the eonven-
tion-on and of the stump.
To say that in eleeting Alfred Z.
Smith the people Of the state gave
him a mandate 70 intrust the New
York transit system 70 Mr. Hylsn is
utter nonsense. Nobody takes Mr..
Hylan seriously as a traction expert.
The only excursion he has made into
traction was his bus line scheme,
which resulted only in dividing fat
contracts among the personal friends
Of Charles F. Murphy.
The last defense Of the transit Of
this city is in the six Ne~ York
Republican ASsemblynien. II Gov
cgnor Miller had been elected these
men would all be enthusiastically be-
hind his transit law. which brought
about the only intelligent solution Of
the problem ever worked out.

The Harding Way

The country's widespread ap-
proval Of the Presidents efforts 10
aid Europe was 20 have been eS-
pccted. There may be few Amer'-
cans who prefer their foreign poll
tics with plenty OF fireworks and
much trumpeting Of personal policy
To the great mass Of voters Mr.
Hardings steady, quiet and CO.
operative leadership seems exactly
right
There arc fundamental reasons
IN the American Constitution why
Mr.. Hard:ng's way IS the only sound
way. Whatever treaty an American
President writes must be approved
by two-thirds vote in the Senate
This amounts TO saying that in for
eign affairs an American President
must be something more than q
rarty leader; he must have the
overwhelming sentiment Of the
country and the Senate behind him.
The political disaster toward which
Mr.. Wilson rode in the Senate and
at the polls was due precisely to
the fact that he ignored this funda-
mental condition.
Extremists with a prcconceived
theory Of how America must aid
Europe are likely TO be disap-
pointed by the Harding method and
what Il will accomplish. Just how
far that help will reach and what
forward steps will be taken must
obviously depend upon many fac
tors. II would be fatal TO ignore
the political situation in the Senate,
and more especially the economic
facts of the Middle West, which
have turned the eyes Of the farm
bloc Senators toward a European
market. Plainly, Mr.. Harding, con-
sistently and expressly opposed to
isolation, has bided his time I'LL the
domestic situation made a step for
ward a practical possibility and not
merely a vain illumination.
Here is surely craftsmanship
combined with political skill toward
high and practicable end. That
Mr.. Harding will succeed in this
new venture Of cooperation among
the great nations is clearly the wish
Of the entire nation.

The Trunk Lines and the Port

The Port Authority plan eannot
be put into operation without the
cooperation Of the railroads. 1t is
mistake to think that the port
congestion here is solely a water
borne traffic problem. Il is even
more land traffic problem--one
Of terminals rather than Of piers,
berths and harbor surface. That Is
why New York City alone is in
capable Of solving II, since nine OF
our trunk lines terminate on the
other side Of the Hudson and only
two terminate on this side.
Port reconstruction must be pre-
ceded by the unihcation Of railroad
terminal facilities. The railroads
are accustomed 70 the old system
Of segregation and uneconomical
operation. They shrink from pool
Ing their interests, partly because
Of a dread Of change and partly
because some Of them feel that they
will lose rather than gain By a
merger. The roads with terminals
in New Jersey viii be most incon-
ycnienced by readjustment. or these
The Pennsylvania has shown a COM
mendnble willingness 20 cooperate
with the Port Authority. Some Of
the others have not concealed their
preference for letting things remain
as they are. Yet il is manifest that
cnee the present freight jam is
broken and commodities can be
moved freely into and out Of New
York ell the roads centering hers
will materially increase their traffic.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has now ordered the roads
to show cause why facilities should
not be consolidated under the Port
Authority plan. This is a logical
proceeding. Congress has approved
tho port treaty between New York
and New Jersey and has given Fed
ersl sanction 10 the project OF a
joint port district. The Interstate
Commerce Commission is therefore
competent 10 direct the railroads 20
do their share in relieving trans
portation congestion here.
New York sorely needs relief from
the drain Of haphazard. tedious
freight distribution. Every New
Yorker has TO pay higher living
costs because Of port stagnstion. Tho

Preaching Against Japan

AS easy a way as any TO stir up
i'll feeling is TO spread distrust Of
Japan. The rector Of ST. Georges
must know that, yet his sermon on
Sunday was a violent defamation
concerning the japanese peril.
Dr. Reiland evidently believes
what he says, that japan was Ger
many's good friend during the war
and still is; that her government IS
Prussianized, while her military
power is overwhelming. Loose
charges are not easy to refute. but
they sometimes have the same effect
as gospel truth. If DR.. Reiland's
congregation did not 90 home to
Sunday dinner hating Japan it was
not his fault.
This is exactly tho sort Of talk
which Roosevelt condemned in his
friendly article on Japan shortly be-
fore his death. lie, who was not
readily hoodwinked, was entirely
convinced Of Japan's good faith and
Of the great part she was playing In
the civilized world. "A good under
standing between Japan and the
United States" said Roosevelt, "is
essential to international progress,
and it is a grave ofense against
the United States for any man by
word or deed 70 jeopardize this
understanding" It Is as difficult
now as then 70 find a motive 70
justify the attempt to create bad
feeling between America and Japan.
Mutual good will between the two
nations was never moro desirable
and, thanks 10 the four-power pact,
never so practicable TO attain.

The proposed law is Of particular

Jamesville, in onondaga County
near Syracuse. and In only one
other spot in. the United States.
Quarrying interests, however, have
already destroyed the larger part
of its domain. and II is now safe

in a public reservation IS easily
understood by oil who have watched

Game Laws for Plants

Lovers Of rare wood plants and
ferns will welcome the suggestion
of game laws" for plants similar
to those which now forbid the
hunter and fisherman from despoil-
ing the forests and streams Of their
animal inhabitants.
The gradual disappearance Of the
trailing arbutus and other sensitive
Towering plants from the woods
near great cities is familiar TO all,
and at Christmas time each year
VIC hear warnings that holly and
mistletoe are growing moro and
more scarce. True lovers Of the
woods know Of dozens OF other
plants. always rare, which are in
even greater danger Of externina-
ton. 1t IS In their interest pri-
mar1ly that the protective laws are
urged In an appeal recently made
by R. c. Benedict, Of the Brooklyn
Botanic Gardens. He cites as n
model the law passed by the Yer
mont Legislature in 1921 which
lists nearly one hundred wood
Aowers and ferns Of which "a per-
son shall not take In any one year.

variety Of fern, and sometimes, IN
cases where the plant is too rare for
