STABILIZE The WEATHER

TT IT were NOT for fear lest should
i -grieve Mr.. Bliss, of the local Weather
Bureau. even to the point of saturation. we
should like to discuss at length suggeS-
ton that has been made for stabtlizing the
weather. Under the circumstances We shall
have to content ourselves with brief out
line of the plan and with a comment or two.
The plan. suggested by a man who has
studied Prof. Irving Fishers proposals for
stabilizing the dollar, is that the tempera-
ture shall be kept uniform By theoretically
extracting a certain amount of mercury
from the thermometer when the sun IS hot
and adding a certain amount when the sun
wkhdraws itself from this part Of the world.
MathematiCians could compute TO the frac-
tion of n grain the amount which would
have to be withdrawn or added SO that the
Thermometer would always register. say 20
degrees above zero, or any other number Of
degrees which by common consent should be
satisfactory.
In order to secure the adoption Of this
plan the organization Of a Stable Weather
League is proposed. The league would have
Its agents in Washington INSTRUCTED to use
alf-the means known to expert ntuencers
of-iegislation to induce Congress to pass the
necessary laws.
The plan ought 10 appeal very strongly to
farmers, who ar" as aggricved by the Un-
certainties of the weather as by the fiurtu
tons in the purchasing power of the dollar,
and would like to have it stabilized. The
law could provide that the temperature as
recorded by the Thermometer should be at
the-exact degree best suited to the raising Of
crops. There might be some difficulty in
coming to an agreement on the proper tenn
perature, as some crops grow better when
Il Is very hot and others grow better when it

DIVIDED AUTHORITY

FNHE new Charter made the Civil Service
L Commission the trial board for the
police department on the theory that II
would prevent political influence in the pun
ishment of policemen.
What it has done is to prevent the Dircc-
I tor of Public Safety from exercising efec-
tive authority over the men under him.
And what 1t has not done is to prevent
the intrusion of politics into the control of
the police.
j The Civil Service Commission is a politi-
cal body. Theoretically, no partisan or fac
tional political considerations affect Its
\ decisions, but there is no sophisticated
observer in the city who is unaware of the
evidence that such considerations do enter
into decisions.
! The commission is the creature of the
City Council. Its members were selected
because of their political affiliations, and the
CoHncil knew what it was doing when it
selected the Commissioners and why t was
doing it,
4 The result has been TO create division
Of of.authorty over the police and to enable
officers charged Ivy their supcrors with Of
fepses that justify discipline. even to the
extent of dismissal. to snap their fingers in
the. faces of the Director OF Public Safety
from behind the backs of the civil Service
Commissioners.

lean Governments share in IL is concerned,
and reduction in United States passport
costs is now pending in Congress. The
Board of Trade of this city has seized this
opportunity to present memorial on the
subject to the Senate and House, urging
the prompt passage of the bill.
1t is to be hoped that this petition will be
followed by many others throughout the
country. The craze for over regulation has
unquestionably retarded the development Of
after-war travel and commerce. The ac-
tual expense involved is merely one fea-
ture of an elaborately complicated system
of exasperating formalitiess inspections and
inqusitions, productive of protracted de-
lays and a general Gripping of enterprise.

Sumner, secretary Of the New York Society
for the Suppression Of Vice, is seeking to
solve His letter on the subject, addressed
to the Authors League, was obviously in
spircd in part by professional zeal, in part
by a publishers movement against deliber-
ate trafficking in salacity and in part by
the prediction of the American public to
take orders from dynasts, Will Hays, Judge
Lands and Augustus Thomas representing
the popular type.
So far as certain publishers are concerned,
1t is easy to credit the sincerity Of their
views regarding the capitalization of the
pornographic and skirting upon thin moral
ice as a source of income. Cupidity OF that
sort usually means the over exploitation Of
bad art as we'll as an offensc to convention
allied instincts Of dccency.
But surely publisher. even one OF very
ordinary wit and intelligence. should be
capable of detecting the called insidious
practices and marketable innuendoes of the

An autocrat Of modern literature cannot

STILL ANOTHER OVERlORD?

WHEN Ovid in a. d. was banished
w from Rome for having published his
frank "Ars Amatoria" the vcXed question of
censorship in literature was old. BY a COM
parativcly slight exercise of the imagina-
ton, it can be traced back to MesOpotamia
and the Tree Of knowledge.
In the light, therefore, Of quite a num-
ber of centuries, 1t Is extremely improbable
that the voluntary movement Of some New
York publishers TO submit themselves to the
decisions of single overload or a jury,
commissioned to pass upon writings Of al
legged dubious moral import to delete Of
fengive portions or to suppress the work
oltogether, if its Obliquity be pronounced
will permanently dispose of historical con-
troyersy. Even should the self imposed
censorship be strict, its confinement to new
productions Of the so called younger SCHOOL
of writer's is indirect sanction of certain
well known specimens of the classics, which
might be mentioned here but will not be.

. ALICE ROBERTSON WINS

TNHE denomination Of Miss Alice Robert
l. son by the Republicans in the Second
Oklahoma District indicates that she IS
better politician than jeanette Rankin.
Miss Rankin, of MONTANA served only one
term and could not get the nomination 10
70 back again She did not do much while
she was in Washington and seemed to feel
that she hardly belonged there.
Miss Robertson, who is n much older
woman with greater experience in life, has
conducted herself with dignity, and has had
the courage TO express her convictions and
to vote in accordance with them. She has
made as good record in her first term as
any of the men who entered Congress
with her.
The reason for the difference between her
record and that Of Miss Rankin may arise
from the fact that Miss Rankin had been
more deeply Interested in securing votes for
w@nen than in the questions with which
Congress deals. Miss Robertson was Op-
posed to women suffrage, but she had deep
Interest in public questions. Her Oklahoma
constituents apparently are pleased with
what she has accomplished Otherwise
they would not have asked her TO represent
them In Washington for two more years.

The Workshop Of the World share very

The Workshop of the World share very
considerably in the grand total.
IL Is clear that such an immense market
as Is represented by the many foreign coun-
tries which are customers of the United
States offers a wonderful safety valve to
our domestic factories in that it not only
provides ready output for our over produc-
ton. but means of keeping our factorie,
going during dull times in our domestic busi-
ness.
Saved by Foreign Trade
!, In the recent slump of trade throughout
the country many factory has been saved
from disaster and total oblteration by it's
foreign trade and by it's ability to keep its
wheels turning, its furnaces smoking and
ifs men working almost entirely from orders
received from Rio de .JancirO. Yokohama,
Melbourne. Singapore. Johannesburg and
many other points on the eastern as we'll as
the western hemisphere.
AS regards the actual technique of for.
eign trade, neither foreign selling nor the
handling of foreign business at this end
presents any great difficulties or any insur-
mountable mysteries. Like domestic busi-
largely based on common sense. but it does
nereSSltate " higher and wider education than
may be necessary for the domestic trade.
'Whlc. as I said before. there are great
numbers of successful American representa-.
tives abroad initiating and upholdng trade
with the home country, there are remarkably
few really efficient foreign trade experts
available as export managers. as vice presi-
dents in charge of foreign business or as
managers of their own overseas trade.
Foreign Managers Troubles

HOLLOW HEROES

THE devil, 1t Is said. can cite Scripture
L for his own purpose. Good sentences
have fallen too, from the lips of oppor-
tunists, dcmagogues and professional mar
plots. Unexccptionablc. for instance, are
Senator Borah's words concerning the inti
mate moral relationship Of European dis
armament to the vcxed question Of the debt
to America. 1t is the mouthpece for these
fine phrases that is disconcerting, not to say
impudent.
Any scheme" thunders the Senator
from Idaho. 'for the cancellation of debts
which does not disclose beyond question that
it will result in reducing land and sea
forces is not in the interest of peace. but
in the interest of war, and not in the in
tercst Of humanity, but in the interest of
murder"
With this sentiment, if hardly with such
forid expression, many Americans are un-
questionably in accord. They would be In
clined to agree also in Mr.. Borah's direct
appeal for "a practical plan Of disarma-
ment.''
But by what right, Of ethics or politics
does Mr.. Borah assume the championship
Of this cause? It was practical plan Of
disarmament, the most comprehensive ever
proposed. which was the underlying purpose
of the League Of Nations in the rejection
or Whlch by the nltod states MIR. Borah
played so conspicuous and inflammable
role.
While it is true that he suggested naval
reduction agreement between the major sea
Powers, the development of that idea and
the conversion of fancy into fact filled
him with oStcnsible Indignation.
The treaties Of the Washington Confer
ence were interpreted by him as fertilizers
of war. He fought those epoch making
pacts with virulence and an intensity
suppressed eventually only by the over
whcIming votes of his fellow Senators.
And vet today he surveys with meo-
dramatic alarm the scene of armed estab-
lishmcnts in Europe and is moved to
thcatrc distress over foreign delays in the
ratification of conventions, passed here in
spite Of his utmost efforts to wreck them.
If prepoStcrous inconsistency. insncerity
and gall can be carried beyond this point it
has not lately been exhibited, even in the
Senate Of the United States.
Mr.. Borah has long since forfeited the
right to espouse the noble cause of world
disarmament. If he deems his voice as that
of one crying in the wilderness, It Is a
wilderness largely of his own making.
