Some peculiar duties and strange
perquisites fall to the lot Of the lord
great chamberlain of England. At a

his hands before the banquet, and he
receives "forty ellis of crimson velvet

Poland Comes through

Poland has weathered the crisis
caused by President Narutowiez $
assassination with admirable Steadi-
ness and restraint. The Assembly's
choice fell on Senator Wojcleehow-
ski. sn eminent leader Of the post
war period, who has the esteem OF
all parties.
The new President belongs TO the
same group as his predeeessor-the
Witos, or Populist, party. But no
issue Of "alienism" seems TO have
been raised by his election. Poland
has developed a great deal OF polit'-
cal stability in her few years OF re-
born nationality. Factionalism runs
higher in q new country thnn IN n
long-established ono. But the Poles
have met their many problems
eourageously and ably, including the
disturbing Red thrush in 1920. They
have shown the capacity to main
tain an orderly and progressive
state.

More and Better Links

A shortcoming Of the Board OF
Estimate that has been overlooked is
that its members srs not golfers.
Mayor Hylan humored the photog-
raphers by swinging driver diff
IDENTIFY at French Lick Springs, so
there are hopes Of him, but his col
leagues have no use for the game.
The influential country gentleman Of
Good Ground who spends much Of
his time on the links might do little
missionary work at City Hall.
This sporting deficiency Of the
Board Of Estimate would be unim-
portant were IL not that the public
links golfers in their effort to get
more and better courses for New
York are stymied by that obstinate
body. The golfers pay more than
500, 900 a year for their privileges.
The money goes into the sinking
fund, by charter requirement, and
only so much comes back for the up
keep Of the links as the Board Of
Estimate chooses to appropriate.
This year It granted $4,000. The
golfers think that is not fair play.
New York has three municipal
links, worn and torn. Chicago has
nine in iirst-class condition and finds
them none too many. Obviously we
have a serious shortage. The players
Of the clubs using the public links in
this city have just taken a sensible

Why Drag In Christmas?

The restoration to the stage OF
highly profitable motion picture
actor no doubt will bring q merry
Christmas" 10 his employers. They
had a large investment in him when
he managed to get himself indicted
on a charge of manslaughter. He
was acquitted Of the charge, it is
true-after three trials--but the
evidence convicted him Of conduct
which Is not usually held up to chill
dren as a model. And children con-
stitute the greater portion Of this
mans audiences. This fact makes
the question Of his return % the
screen no easy matter TO decide
especially when it is served up IN a
mass Of mawkish sentiment.
II Is a regrettable fact that the
"movie" hero influences adolescent
opinion IN this country more than
school teachers-or even clergy
men. The comedy hero Is even
dearer to the youthful mind than
the hero of romance. It was for this
reason, doubtless, that the comedian
in question was banished from the
screen when the manner Of his pri-
yate life became public property.
1t happened, however, that he
was a "money-maker." AT all sea-
sons Of the year, including the
Christmas season, his pictures drew
crowds. And after a year the loss
Of his services became distinctly
painful 70 the gentlemen who had
found him = gold mine.
So, because he has promised TO
20 and sin no more, the director
general Is going to "live and help
live" and back he will come 70 the
screen 10 impress little children
With the idea that IL is all right TO
do anything as long as you can get
away with II.
But, as the director general re-
marks, the spirit Of Christmas Is
abroad IN the land. II is time to
turn the thoughts Of men away
from earthly, sordid things and TO
look forward TO a time when "a
little child shall lead thera." And
| IL there is anything more violative
Of the spirit Of Christmas than re-
establishing such a person as this as
an entertainer Of children It is diff
cult to imagine what It might be.

Striking Against the Public

The conviction Of eight trainmen
accused Of interfering with inter
state commerce by desertins q train
N the Arizona desert, thereby OBJ
structing the movement Of mail and
passengers, Is an indication Of the
unwillingness Of tho people Of this
country 10 tolerate strikes against
he public interest. When Calvin
Coolidge, at the time Of the police
strike in Boston, gave trenehant e1-
preston 10 the thought that had
long been in the minds Of many per
sons, There is no right 70 strike
against the public safety by any
body, anywhere, any time" he ex-
rressed the reaction of the Anaeri-
can people TO the entire question OF
strikes which interfere with the
rights Of the public at large. This
same feeling existed at the time Of
the coal strike and the railroad
strike. People realized that the de-
Dendence Of the mass Of citizens on
transportation is almost as great as
II Is on the maintenance Of order.
It so happens that the ofense OF
the convicted trainmen was rendered
more obnoxious by the fact that the
E-ain which they deserted was left
Ia the desert and its passengers sub
iected 70 unnecessary and unjust
hardships. But the principle IN
volved would have been the same
even had these circumstances not ex-
isted. Although a large part Of the
public may have had more than VIII

n ENDING books 10 children irrespee-
- tive Of age or school grade was not
a new idea, nor did Il originate In the
United States. As early as 1870 the
librarian AZ Melbourne, Australis, said
that II there was 20 be any discrimina-
ton OF age he thought IL should be at
the other end OF life, disquslifying
readers at sixty.three, and adding that
his view was unparalleled, since It
would exclude himself.
What, then, was the new element
C"the new idea in education" as Il has
been so often called b. European
yisitors) contributed by tho children's
rooms and departments Of American
public Libraries in the last decade OF
the nineteenth and the first ten years
Of the twentieth century,
/ think II may best be described as
tho capitalization Of interest in read
Ing for It's own sake by giving the
books a fresh environment. The
schools had taught the mechanics Of
reading; they had provided a variable
number Of books 70 be read In school
and at home; but the books were too
few IN number and generally too IN
attractive In appearance 20 rouse much
enthusiasm IN reading for pleasure.
Il remained for the library 70 dem.
onstrats that the love Of reading and
the physical care OF books as city
property could be taught, ss Socrates
states II, mot by lessons, but By going
about our daily business" As soon as
reading vas given a place Of It's own,
and, above all, as soon as the ehildren's
connection With books became one Of
voluntary, familiar association, tho
ehildren's librarian realized that she
was not teaching a nav subject but
sharing an unendIng series Of fresh
discoveries in books-old books and

Progress in Limitation

In spite Of the fact that the naval
limitations treaties have not yet
been ratified by the FIVE signatory
powers the naval race has virtually
ceased. Secretary Denby's report
shows that the scrapping Of com
pleted vessels doomed under the
treaty has already made good prog
ress and that construction has been
halted on ships now on the ways
which are TO be destroyed. This
means great economies in the
future. At the same time it is fur
ther proof Of the effectiveness Of the
Washington conference.
Secretary Denby's detailed state
ment as to the work by the different
nations shows that Great Britain
and the United States have led the
way in scrspping and that Japan,
while proceeding more cautiously, Is
nevertheless also complying with the
spirit OF the treaty. The Japanese
Ministry Of Marine has wisely stated
that, "while work preliminary to
scrapping will be done, the halls will
not be broken up or sunk until the
treaties have been ratified by all the
powers"
AS neither France nor Italy has
any ships 10 be scrspped under the

The Great Kitchin Idea

Mr.. Kitehin's followers In the
House Of Representatives are still
Kitchining. The North Carolina
statesman opposed the war with
Germany. He announced afterward
that he would make The North and
East pay for the war. He drew the
internal tax measure which imposed
gigantic supertaxeS on income. Ap-
parently he had originally every In
tention Of collecting them. But, as
a matter Of fact, he crippled the
productive power Of the higher
brackets by leaving open q wide field
70 exempted investment
II the payer Of steeple-high super
tax is free to transfer his capital
b state, county and municipal Sc
eurities, income from which is not
taxable, then the whole supertax
structure topples. The tax itself be-
comes one-sided and oppressive. 1t
hits some and misses others. It Is
an invitation TO taxpayers with very
large incomes 10 withdraw 20 shelter.
This, in fact, has already hap
pened. As Secretary Mellon pointed
out in his recent annual report 70
the House of Representatives, while
the net income Of all taxpayers re-
porting increased between 1916 and
1920 from $s,29s,OoO,OO0 TO $685.
735, ,00o, 900 and the number Of re-
turns increased from 437,o3e to
7,259,9I4, the number Of returns OF
incomes over 100000 decreased
from 1925 TO s9S, and the amount
of net income in that category de-
creased from $ss2,0oO,OOO TO $780,
$4,000.
Mr.. Kitchin passed q law with
meshes in II as wide as barn door,
There are two ways 70 remedy this
situation. One is TO abolish super
taxes exceeding 80 per cent or, even
better from the revenue point OF
view, exceeding 25 per cent. The
other is TO submit constitutional
amendment csnceling the exemption
enjoyed by state, county and mu-
nicipal securities.
The Kitchin following in the
House is bitterly opposed 10 reduc-
ing the supertaxes. But IL seems
equally opposed TO closing the door
through which income otherwise
taxable at the rates above 81 per
cent flows peacefully into channels
where the tax collector cannot
touch IL.
The war tax laws, amended since
the war, were passed primarily to
raise revenue. But, according TO the
Kitchin view, two Of their most I'M
portant functisns are TO levy nom
productive supertaxes for political
window-dressing purposes and TO
make an artihcially high selling
market for the bond offerings OF
cities, counties and states.
