Pancho Villa the Virtuous.

When 1t is argued that lasting
world peace is impossible let the
idealists point to PANcHo VILLA, 1922
model. A Mexico city newspaper
man has been out to call upon that
once most noted villain. He reports
an amazing reformation. The out
law has become tiller Of the soil.
The bandit is furious advocate Of
education. The creature who de-
stroyed churches insists on religious
freedom for all. The leader Of the
toughest band since JESSE JAMEs's
prohibits liquors and gambling.
Politics? Nay PANcHo is out Of it.
Why should it interest him, anyway?
He saw much politics of the most
practical and tragic variety. He was
with MADERo against DIAz, with
HUERTA against MADERo, with CAR
RAMA against HUERTA, and at the
end not only against CARRANzA but
against the whole wide world. Not
even the Presidency interests him.
Besides, he told the newspaper man
that he wished Mexico to live in
happy accord with the United States.
Would 1t not stir up old memories,
of the Columbus raid and other
events, if he were to go after the
Presidency?
VILLA is the same stern disciple
marian of yore, his visitor says. We
fancy that there is brisk stirring on
the Durango ranch soon after the
chief rises at o'clock in the morn,
ing: no lolling in bed until 5 A. M,
as so many of the gringo farm hands
do. After morning of inspecting
the tobacco, the cane and the wheat
PANCHo looks over the schools and
asks a teacher whether 1t be true
that one Of the pupils was caught
using bean shooter In the evening
at the hacienda there Is q plunge
into the wilderness of the Spanish
first reader. In the old days, the bold
days, when VILLAS name was on the
front page, he could not read or
write Now the man who would not
give himself up to anybody has sur
rendered to a tutor. He is trying to
learn English, but is still in the o
See the Cat stage. With perseverance
he will be able eventually to read
the whole story of his own wicked
life. He is only 45 years old and has
still the pleasure of reading Robin
son Crusoe" and the Sherlock Holmes
books, not to mention main Street."
Twenty years from now may see
VILLA at Lake Mohonk lecturing on
the problems of the Mexican Indian.
When a good man turns bad his
friends shudder, but when bad man
turns good the saints take an extra
hitch in their halo straps.

A Character.

The world forgives him many things
The sometimes careless life he lives.
The showy clothes to which he clings,
His slang. his split infipitives-
No one asserts he Is a bore n -
And nothing that he says offends;
He is not reprehended for I'M .ft
His choice Of some peculiar friends.
His way is to agree with you 30
And at the Fates he does not rail-.
Mere gossip he's not given to;
There's nothing that he has for sale
He has no cure for all our ills;
He's slow to censure and to blame.
And since he promptly pays his bills,
Why wonder at his name and famei

Nlghtfall.

Now that the wind that lulled the flow
ers to sleep
Has fallen with the falling Of the dew
And nights soft hand has sprinkled
heaven anew
With starry radiances, and shadows
creep
Over the pasture lands where focks Of
sheep
wend TO the fold as wends the wan
derer who
Turns homeward In life's evening for
Brief hours while he may yet earth's
vigils keep
The peace of patience fingers in the air ;
The little valley land lies wrapt in
dream,
The last faint flush fades slowly in
the west;
Nature yearns heayenward as II In
prayer
While heaven envelopes hill and vale
and stream
With tenderness, and folds the
world to rest

Now the question arises. Why are the

To satisfy myself, took: the COM

The One Hague Question.

LENINE, the brains and the bravado
of Russian Bolshevism, may be in
capacitated, LENfNE may be deposed.
LENINE may die. But whether
LENIsE stays or whether he goes
one fact still will loom before the
eyes of the world. 1t is that the
Soviet rule with which he shackled
the greatest national population in
Europe cannot put Russia back into
the family of civilized nations until
Russia puts herself back into the po-
sition of recognizing the solemn obli
cations that govern the purpose and
the conduct of the members Of that
family of nations.
Soviet Russia as a dishonerable
and dishonored debtor cannot become
an honorable and honored borrower.
Under LENINE or under some one
along her frontier, pay gold across
the more distant international cOun-
ters for what she cannot get other
wise, even make trade compacts and
political treaties--for what they are
worth. But Russia, blatantly repudi-
ating what the world has lent to her,
will in vain ask the world to lend
her more.
This is the only question to come
before the Hague conference, as after
the few preliminaries it was the only
question left before the Genoa con-
ference LENINE's representatives,
polite, or LENINE's successors, de-
fiant, will not change that one over
shadowing fact.

The Glove Industry.
A Plea for Protection for the Amer.
lean Manufacturers.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: Ninety
five per cent. of the manufacturers Of
gloves in Fulton county were originally
workingmen who started in small way,
as it is not necessary to have over $500
capital and one room for a glove cutter
to start manufacturing gloves. This
very fact has been beneficial to the
women Of the United States, because 1t
has always been difficult for the larger
manufacturers with great overhead
charges to compete with the small man
ufacturer with none. This has kept
prices down.
The glove industry Is one In which
women can stay In their own homes
and make gloves on their sewing ma
chimes. Thus 1t gives employment to
some $4,000 persons In the cities and
the surrounding country.
This is what we call an infant indus
try. but while the Republican party 10
supposedly for high tariff, up to the
present date 1t has never given suffi-
cient protection on ladies' gloves. The
Payne -Aldrich tariff gave mems gloves
a duty of $3.50. but ladies' only 81.
while the cost of manufacturing was
the same.
Before the tarifY was passed a great
howl went up that the. duty on mems
gloves was prohibitive, but II did not
prove so, for under the high tariff mems
gloves sold cheaper than they did under
a low one. and one big concern filed Its
windows on Broadway with cape gloves
for men al ~ pair.
American women need not fear high
prices under a high duty. for the Amer
loan manufacturers always have and
always will cut one another's throats,
and supply and demand always abso-
lutely make the price. During the war,
under virtually no tariff. gloves brought
high price; leather was extremely
high, but everybody was working and the
price was not felt. But now the indus
tries are being closed by the competition
with the foreign market. What good
would a low priced foreign article do II
the industries were closed and the
working people were without money to
pay for it7
1t Is not the rich people who consume
all the articles on sale II is the working
people who are the great consumers.
Long gloves brought over from Eu-
rope In the past year. made with labor
costing $3.50 to s5 a week, or less than
the daily wage here, have been sold
here by the importers at profit of over
so per cent. as am told by an APP
praiser in the New York Custom House.
DO the women OF this country who are
protesting this tariff want to compete
with these wages, or do they want their
sisters to do so7

New York's Rural Schools.

For the first time in the history of
New York the State rural school
system has been the subject of an
exhaustive and careful study For
this the people of the State are in
debted to various agricultural organ
izations acting with the Department
of Education, the State Teachers AS
sociation, the State College of Agri-
culture and the Home Bureau Fed
Grafton.
AS result of conferences held
during farmers week at the College
OF Agriculture in 1920 a joint COM
mittee on rural schools was formed.
1t was composed of three represen-
tatives Of each of the seven or
ganizations of agricultural and edu-
cational bodies taking part in the
movement. The first step was the
distribution in rural counties of sew
eral thousand copies of a pamphlet
inviting expressions Of opinion on
existing country school conditions
and asking suggestions for improve
ment. Then followed a series of
hearings in different towns, which
members of local oranges, school
trustees, farm and home bureau
groups and other farm organizations
were invited to attend. The re-
sponses were most encouraging. Many
OF the meetings, each of which lasted
a day, were attended by hundreds of
people representing the best citizens
of the interested communities. From
them an expression of informed and
intelligent public opinion was OBJ
tanned.
With the data gathered at these con-
ferences the survey proper was organ
lied. 1t covered the entire State
by Representative districts, with
the result that in the preliminary
report now issued the people of New
York have at their disposal an exact
portrayal of their rural school sys-
TEN, its advantages and defects. to-
gether with recommendations for its
betterment. 1t il a document tha.
should receive attention from all who
are concerned with the improvement
of public educational facilities.
The district system of rural schools
in New York is precisely as it was
In 1912, when 1t was erected. That
1t is defective in many particulars
the report clearly shows. To revise
1t, however. Is a complicated task
Home rule sentiment jealously op-
poses State interference. Local Gus
toms and habits must be taken into
account. But the necessities of edu-
cation are recognized generally, as
is the fact that the district school
system offers opportunity for many
changes for the better. Between
State authorities and the best ele-
ment in the affected communities
all that Is needed for harmonious
cooperation is free and full discus

The advice given by ALFRED s. TRuDE
of the Illinois bar to "spend money,
don't hoard It," Is much more accept
able than most counsel on this SUBJ
ject However, 1t will be observed
that Mr.. TRuDE addresses the rich. not
the poor or merely well to do. Virtu-
ally he tells us to become spendthrifts
after we have accumulated millions.
In other words, he says to those who
are not under compulsion to save that
they need not skimp their spending.

Stopping the Ballyhoos.

The effort of the Police Depart
ment to stop the ballyhoos at Coney
Island will shock not, only the show
men of that playground but those
who have always looked upon the
ballyhoo as an integral part Of Coney
Island life.
For the time being the police are
checked by the decision of Magis-
trate REYNOLDS, but they have on
their side an ordinance which seems
specifically to prohibit the giving OF
any performance from window or
the open space Of any house; and an
ordinance so long as it is on the
books should be enforced. The po-
lice may also see real danger in the
congestion of Coney Island streets.
So far as the effect Of the ballyhoo
on the comfort of Island patrons is
concerned 1t must be remembered
that people go to Coney Island to be
in a jam. Coney when there is no
crowd is as lonesome place as ex-
lists north of the Antarctic Circle.
The attitude of the police may
indicate new activity toward the sup
preston of real pests. In downtown
Manhattan, where people go on busi-
ness and not particularly for amuse-
ment, the street takers clog the side
walks with displays of jumpingjacks
and other trifies. They are much
more detrimental to pedestrian COM
fort than the ballyhoos of Coney ISL
and. And there is an ordinance
against them too. %
