midnight. When ordered to halt, they
fired a fusillade Of shots and dis
appeared in the darkness. The guards
answered by firing volley at the

Kansas trade unionists are ar

Candidate Davis has declared his

progresses, this will force Morgan

ing of Great Britain. whose revenues
are 6 per cent more than her ex-
penditures, is the best. Last year
we had excess revenues Of Is per

warned us to expect deficit next
year. Little Peru's outgo and in
come just about balanced. All other
countries, neutral as we'll as bellg-
erent, have been piling up floating
debts.
Belgium has paid out of receipts
only 81 per cent of her current ex-
penditures, Greece only 81 per cent,
France only 43 per cent and Poland
only 81 per cent. Such thrifty
countries as Sweden, Norway, Den
mark, Holland and Switzerland have
been paying out five dollars or more
while taking in four.

Hayti and Santo Domingo

Senator BOrah SAID truly at Car
negie Hall that no satisfactory rca-
sons for American occupation of
Hayti and the Dominican Republic
have ever been given to the public
The Wilson Administratio ion took for
chile control Of these two small coun-
tries at time when it was advertis-
ing most persistently a "hands off"
policy in Mexico. The Mexican pol
icy and the Hayti-Domincan Repub-
lie policy could not be reconciled.
Perhaps that is why no attempt was
ever made officially to reconcile
them.
The real motives behind the two
West Indian military occupations
have never been avowed. We are in.
We have set up protectorates by
force. We have assumed obligations
which it is difficult to shake off at
moments notice. However irregular
our entry was from the point of view
of national rights, some allowance
must be made for the practical ef-
fects and political embarrassments
of premature withdrawal. The
United States is at least preserving
order in backward, semi-barbarous
Hayt. 1t is tangled up in legaltics
there and is infringing on the sov-
ereignty of a small neighboring re-
public, which, under our auspices,
was inducted as an independent
power into the League of Nations.
Yet in a vague way American in
tervention may be partially justified
on the ground that it is doing a civil
izing work.
This excuse is not as satisfying as
it might be. If there are better rea-
sons for these two occupations-o
for their prolongation-the country
ought to know them. Secretary
Hughes, inheriting an ugly situa-
ton, has apparently committed him.
self to franker and fuller state
ment. In the mean time it is a tao
tical mistake on the part of those
who are protesting against our West
Indian military ventures to tie up
the cases of Fayti and the Domin-
lean Republic too closely. The
Dominican case is far stronger.
Why not concentrate on it? The
seizure Of the Dominican govern
ment was more arbitrary. The po-
litical motive behind the aggression

Rightly Jailed

To advance the non-existencc Of
any present military emergency as
a reason for liberating the violatoys
Of the espionage and draft laws is IL
relevant. The question is not one of
present military emergency. The
argument is beside the point,
thrown out as sort of smoke
screen to obscure the real issue.
To show especial leniency to
these men is to put a premium upon
disloyalty in the future. 1t sets a
precedent which will encourage fu-
ture violators TO further brazen-
ness, safe in the knowledge that
the most they viii get for their
pains is a sheltered berth in Leav-
enworth while their fellows are be-
ing killed, and a speedy release
when the war is over.

William Randolph Barkis

Mr.. Murphy will not require a
writ Of mandamus to put Mr.. Hearst
into the race for Governor, Mr..
Hearst is always a willing candi-
date. So willing is he just at pres
ent that if Mr.. Murphy's choice
should fall elsewhere Mr.. Hearst
may accept q nomination at the
hands of his proprietary Political
Union for Progress The old urge
to run for something is once more
strong upon him.
Mr.. Hearst has one political quail
ity which Mr.. Murphy has always
admired - the possession Of prac-
tically unlimited wealth. In his
earlier quarrels with him Mr.. Muir
ply personally has found the Hearst
newspapers negligible as campaign
factors, and has so expressed him
self. But he has never spoken scorn-
fully of Mr.. Hearst's money.
The editors chances Of securing
the Democratic nomination depend
upon what Tammany Halls finan-
clal needs may be in the approach
ing campaign. The Boss knows
that Al Smith would make a better
run for Governor. He knows that
those who disapprove of Mr.. Hearst
are legion and that they will all be
on hand at the polls to express their
disapproval. He knows that Mr..
Hearst has clothed him in stripes
in the past and is perfectly capable
of doing so in the future if it suits
his purposes.
But a campaign fund is essential,
and if no one but Mr.. Hearst can
supply it Mr.. Hearst may be the
nominee, even though it is necessary
to force upon Al Smith the nomina-
tion for United States Senator,
which Mr.. Smith doesn't want.
In any event, as we have said,
Mr.. Hearst is willing. His many
newspapers do not satisfy his
hunger for self-eXpression He
yearns to stand again on the stump,
doffing his wide Western hat to the
multitude and shouting shrilly that
he alone can lead them back to the
paths of prosperity.
If Mr.. Murphy can be induced, by
the usual Hearst methods, to give
him this opportunity the ancient
feud will be forgotten. If he re-
mains obdurate Mr.. Hylan may be
put to the embarrassing necessity
of deciding between the two hands
that have supplied his political prov
ender in the past.

Old Dobbin Holds His Own

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent Tbor,o. II
1orohler. who wrote all the way from
Watts, Calf, to say that Old Dobbin
is passing into the discard, is evidently
sincere in his belief. Facts. however
prove that he is misinformed. The
horse Is more than holding his own.
Don't raise colts" Mr.. Gordnier
says. Why not, when it pays to raise
them? Any farmer who is located
where he has good pasturage for five
or ten months of the year and where
grains and forage constitute his prin-
cipal crops. will find that he can raise
enough horses and mules to take care
of his replacement needs.
If farmer has surplus of horses
he will find that farmers in his own
and other communities who do not raise
horses Will take care of the surplus.
And there is also good market among
lumber men, mine owners, contractors
and city teamsters.
The horse census issued in Janu-
airy, 1920, shows that there are
21,472,772 horses and 5,S10,641 mules
in the United States, an increase of
526,663 over the number in 1910, or
1.9 per cent.

his farm will find that it pays him to

More Than Suspicious

Tammany Hall is against voting
machines because voting machines
prevent fraudulent election returns.
Its representatives in Albany sav-
agely fought the bill requiring the
use of machines in New York City.
They lost the fight. The bill was
passed Now the Board Of Est-
mate, Tammany elected and Tam
many controlled, refuses to appro-
pirate the money to purchase and in
stall the machines.
There can be no honest reason for
this action. The voting machine is
cheaper, faster and more accurate
than the old system of counting. 1t
cannot be ''doctored," and. unlike
certain election boards, it is not sub
ject to persuasion or temptation.
With machines installed in every
election district, as they will be when
all the provisions of the bill have
been carried out, the voters will
know whom they have elected within
a few minutes after the polls have
closed.
There can be 10 holding back the
count in strongly Tammany districts
in order to overcome a majority that
may be rolled up in an anti-Tam-

be confined to colonization and re-
peating, both of which have become
extremely dangerous since the pass
age Of amendments Of the corrupt
practices act
For its obstruction of the carrying
out of the transit act the Board of
Estimate could at least render a rea-
son, flimsy though that reason was.
1t can give no explanation for block

struck way. They arc filled with
starting fears. They do not want to
rely on their own strength, for it
might fail them. They wish to create
a world where it will not be necessary
to rely on their own strength. And
they are banded together toward this
result.
But do we really want to be a ma

be, after all, anything more dangerous
than such rule?

may, eliminate by force from the

life will still remain dangerous. The
way to keep child from being geburned
is not by keeping him from all ex-

the nature of the fire to him, its

it is his job to protect himself. If he

The tendency to-day in America
seems to be less and less that of
training the individual to controlled
and wise personal conduct. A dis
ciplined mind, disciplined body-these
are no longer aims in life. Temperance
as something worth acquiring has
ceased to exist. Deprivation is the
only alternative. And yet deprivation
