else that the Market Department
needs a thorough house cleaning.
He must understand that it lis his
business, as Commissioners of Ac-
Accounts, to see that this is done.
He was recently quoted by wei.
known Jewish rabbi as referring
to the Commissioners of Markets by
a name that indicated anything but
confidence in that gentleman's fit
ness for the position he occupies.
Yet ne allows the market mess to go
unheeded and makes attacks upon

in exposing it but to get it cleaned
up so that it may become of benefit
to all the citizens. If Mr.. Hirsh-

A Printing Press Bonus

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One of the main objections to
the bonus is that no provision is made
to raise the money to pay it. 1t has
been intimated that if the way is paved
to pay the bonus the bill will pass.
Now, there is way to pay the cost in
cash and not add to the burden of
taxes. 1t is simply to create the money
by issuing either Federal bank notes or
United States Treasury notes to the
amount needed. Establish a sinking
fund on easy lines to retire the issue
out of the receipts Of the government.
This issue will not carry any interest,
therefore it is not burden. 1t will put
a large amount Of money in circulation
and will stimulate business.
] know that the cry will go up, "Fiat
money! Infiation!" Fiat money is
money created out of nothing, with
nothing to back it. The United States
is the only country in the world that is
solvent. We are the creditor nation of
the world. The paper money that bears
the signature OF this government is
worth its face value; therefore it is
not fat money. Nor is it imitation, be-
cause we have no one to give an ac-
counting to. STANDPATTER.

The Essentials

the Senate seems to have awak-
asd somewhat violently to the fact
hat the country faces a coal short
ne. The coal strike began months
aro. 1t was bound to create semi
tsnline conditions this fall. There
.re many people who believe that
lat was it's main objective.
Some Senator's now talk with be-
ated vigor of Selling coal mines
nd railroads. The soft coal strike
has settled itself, SO far as the oper-
tors and miners are concerned. The
|sard coal strike is being kept alive
,niy by Mr.. Lewis's academic repug-
nancs to arbitration. The Federal
sgernment may have to bring polit-
|Nal pressure to force resumption in
Itbs anthracite field. But economic
usssure and public opinion in the
sathracite region are also at work
ind the days of this willful lay-off
ire probably numbered.
Congress can best protect the
tountry from the consequences of
Utifcial coal shortages by creating
eommission which win lay bare

gs the curse of the coal industry

The country doesn't want to see

ept in some desperate extremity. 1t
does want to see coal stocks replen-
/ shed and offered to the consumer at
aon-proHteering prices.

Open-Minded

The Tribune awaits the revelation
of Mr.. Hylan's subway plan, which
has been scheduled for Monday,
without prejudice. Mr.. Hylan, or
somebody else, has been working
long and earnestly on these plans.
1t is reasonable to suppose from
many utterances of his on the sub
ject. that they will altogether abol-
ish subways.
The Mayor is the determined and
implacable foe of the subways, and
never fails to voice his hatred of
them. 1t may be gathered, there
fore, that he will propose that they
all be dug up and the space they
occupied be devoted to bus lines.
However, it is unfair to draw de-
ductions in advance. The Mayors
plan will soon be submitted. Then
all he will require will be an act of
the Legislature to confer on him the
authority to put it into execution.
The fact that. there is no chance
whatever of the passage of such an
act and that the Transit Commits
sion will continue in charge Of the
traction plant might deter other
statesmen from getting up a subway
plan.
1t has, however, no such effect
upon Mr.. Hylan.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-27
The Women Are Voting Dry

The women are going drier. The
first votes in the special women's
poll Of "The Literary Digest" on
the prohibition question showed
them even wetter than the men. The
second installment of ballots shows
drop Of 5 per cent in wetness,
making the total of women opposed
to the present laws just 60 per cent.
or about ] " per cent drier than the
men.
This change is doubtless accounted
for in the returns from the rural
districts, which at first were slow
in coming in. A comparison Of the
women's poll and the regular poll
shows only minor differences, ac-
cording to states. In Vermont, Mis-
souri, and Tennessee the women
favoring modification are in the
lead. In the regular poll the dryTs
lead in these states. In Virginia.
Florida and Idaho the drys lead in
the women's poll, where the modifi-
cationists lead in the regular poll,
A glance at map on which the
votes are charted shows clearly that
the great Mississippi Valley is the
home of the drys. With the excep-
tion of Illinois, which probably on
account of it's large urban popula.
tion is particularly wet, the Middle
Western states have the biggest pro-
portion of genuine drys. The At.
lantic coast, barring Maine, the
Carolinas and Georgia, and the Pa
cific Coast, with the exception of
Washington, favor modification. So
also do the mountain states and
those along the Canadian border,
with the exception of Michigan and
Vermont. Kansas is the driest of
all and Maryland the wettest.
But even in the dry states, with
the exception Of Kansas and Okla
hon1a, vets and moists together out
number the drys. In some states
they form less than 60 per cent Of
the total svote; in others they form
much more.
In some Of these states the
women's votes may alter the per-
,centages. But in the country at
large there is not much chance that
this will happen, for every slight
increase in the drys made in the
women's poll is Offset by a very
heavy gain for the vets in the fac
tory polls. 1t seems hard to escape
the conclusion that while the ma
jority of the people are opposed to
return to the old ways they favor
modification of. the existing. laws.

PZaywriting Epidemic B. Jane. I. Ford

The persistent harping on the earn
ing capacity OF the American drama
tist that has been going on ever since
Clyde Fitch ran his brief meteoric
course across the theatrical horizon
has proved Of incalculable harm to g
,credulous. generation Of money-hunters.
1t has created the widespread delusion
that the writing of plays is one of the
most lucrative. and easily mastered
callings chat. ingenious youth can en-
bark in, whereas we have only to COM
pare the gross amount of the royalties
paid each year to playwrights with the
number Of those engaged, more or less
successfully, in writing plays, to real
ize, that it is the most poorly recon-,
pensed of all occupations.
Superficial judgment takes into ac-
count only the earnings Of the success
full dramatists, which are large enough
to- cause those of an elder day to turn
in their graves and lament their prema-
ture birth, butt those huge sums are
moie than offset by the. pitifully small
rewards Of the many who are not so
fortunate. The subject is one tina.
opens. up to. the. student of theatrical
history wide field of speculative
thought.
In the Old Days
Twoscore years ago the native dram
atist was shabby individual haunt
ing managerial Offices with frayed man
uscripts which he tried in vain to dis
pose Of. When, during the late '70s,
Julian Magnus and A. E. Lancaster sold
Conscience to Clara Morris literary
circles received distinct shock, and
envy Of such unwonted good fortune,
blended with brighter hope for the
future, stirred the minds of the ambi-
tious ones, A still greater impetus
was given to the craft some years later.

ard, who may be accounted the earliest
OF the race of modern pfaywrights
whose emoluments have become a mat
ter of such unfortunate notoriety
Bartley Campbell's "My Partner"
with its conspicuous factor proof"
scene, was notable production, for it
proved the value Of the playwright to
be at least equal to that Of the star.
The same may be said Of Mr.. Howard's
Bankers Daughter" which had been
given two.or three times under as many
different names before it received the
helping hand of Al. R. Cazauran at the

thought himself fortunate when Mr..

when minority Of the roads offered
him restoration with partial conces-
sions he also hesitated to accept be-
cause he had over-confidently
pledged himself in advance to a ma.
tional settlement or no settlement.
Mr.. Lewis has won a victory at
the expense of the public because
he held good cards and knew how
to play them. Mr.. jewell has lost
because he blundered from the be-
ginning. His decision to 60 on with
a mismanaged fight means that he
is sacrificing the real interests of
the men he leads to his own OBJ
stinacy and pride Of opinion.

THE long, blue evening brings the

From out the reaches of old nameless
lands,
To minds in need of beauty for boon.
And hearts in need of healing at her
hands
Wearing as any queen her shadowy
gown,
She comes in quiet to the grateful
street,
a grave and thoughtful presence through
the town
And peace is with the passing Of her
feet.
into the grieved and frstful hearts Of
men,
The long-robed evening strays, a wan.s

And there is rest and quietness again.
And the cool, scented loveliness of her,
Come lately, now, from old and weary
lands,
Bearing this boon in beautiful, still
hands.

The Controlled Foreign Press

10 Americans, accustomed to free
dom of the press, the charges of the
we'll known French Journalist M.
Raymond Recoulv that the press in
Europe is cursed with official propa-
ganda will come as surprise. 1t
has been recognized by foreign cor
respondents that especially during
the war the European governments
exercised a control at the news
sources which practically amounted
to complete domination. But only
those who have followed conditions
closely since the war appreciate the
truth of M. Recouly's statements
that at the recent European. con-
ferences, and frequently even ait the
ordinary Foreign Office interviews
with correspondents, fictitious in
formation was gravely, handed out
by the responsible representatives
OF the great nations.
M. Recouly attacks this entire
system and holds it responsible for
much of the misinformations that ia
spread abroad. He advocates the
American system of frequent per-
sonal contact between responsible
government heads and members Of
the press on a give-and-take basis.
The difference is great, for while
under the American system really
able government officials can mold
opinion, such men are rare, and
what one may have built UP another
may tear down. To face Atty or
more of the keenesti newspaper
minds, trained to discard the non
essentials and sharply on the watch
for flaws, is no easy task even for
a gifted man. Our system leaves
too many chances for the enemy to
unmask the truth.
In France and elsewhere on the
Continent, however, they order these
matters differently. And there is
room, as M. Recouly points out, for
many reforms. The system Of gov
ernment domination of the press in
the matter of governmental news Is
paralleled by slavish support of the
government by the press. Both
make for subservient rather than
an independent press, and until
both are abolished there is little
hope Of free press on the European
Continent.

Nightingale
fF'rons The pouole peaEerl

From The Doaorc DeaIer3
THIS is no love song,
No breath Of wine and sumntsr
flowers,
No murmur of desire;
But such hymn,
Fierce, lonely and untamed,
AS the Troezenian hunter sang
Before the marble shrine.
So wild song once rose
From the women of Artennis
In some cold hidden valley
Where trees sombreiy ringed
A black lake and cola mist glidsd
As the first moon-rsys
Giittered through clouds.
Those foam-frail girls
Greek sailors saw beyond their prows,
Whose flesh was cooled by the waves
heart,
Whose veins ran spray Of the storm,
Sang this song
As down stood gray on the ssass rim.
But this is no love song,
No echo Of kisses.
