candle was not the correct sentinel,
but. that until a kind friend hung be-
fore the altar a lamp burning olive oil
we in our poverty could offer God only
candle as kindly light David's
eyes were aglow with some interior
JOY.
1T was a week later that the
tragedy happened. David had told
his father of the Lord of the Altar;
the father, savage from continual
brooding over imagined wrongs, flew
into rage and struck the boy sense
less to the floor Then, terror-stricken,
victim of ungovernable temper, he
tore madly out into the night to sum-
mon the farmers wife whom once he
had ordered from his house. She
went back, Of course, and doctor
and trained nurse arrived the next
day. The house was thrown open to
receive floods of sunshine, the place
was filled with guests and the sound
of cheering voices.
"In his agony of mind the father
came often to us-why, he could not
himself say; but it is my own opinion
the Lord of the Tabernacle had call
ed him hither.
"Once, when the boy was delirious
and, grabbing up bottle of olive oil
used to massage his back, said some
thing about filling his cow lamp
for a chapel light somewhere, the
father came whimpering to us, and
promised his wealth for the return Of
his child to health. But Father
Minister was here that day-and he
can be severe! And he was! And
| when, a new man, that boys father
climbed the hill to his convalescent
son, he realized that souls were in
| initely more precious than pennies.
"That father is still living, living
| to bless God and to ask his son to
| bless him, living far from here, a
| white-haired man choosing to be
among the poor in the city, giving
away his heart to them faster than
| his money.

| well, of course: God had use for
such as he among poor humanity.
| And on the day he and his father
were First Communicates together, the
wax candle was replaced by silver
lamp and the sacristy stored with

love of Christ. Such is their mission
in life. For the building of character,

Worth Trying

As a possible remedy for ticket
gouging the plan for a central the
atrical booking Office, where tickets
will be sold at an advance Of 10
cents each over box-ofiice prices, Is
we'll worth trying. But there is little
hope that the ticket sharks will not
continue 20 make the same block
purchases for successes that they
have been making at the box Offices
and continue TO vend them for all
they can get at the theater doors.
The new scheme is Of value chiefly
because Il shows that the managers
are alive TO public dissatisfaction
over ticket speculation and that the
theatrical business will be benefited
II this practice is stopped. II stands
to reason that by uniting in a CEN
tral Office the managers can, il they
choose, better protect their tickets
rom wholesale purchase by men
known to be sharks than II the tick
cts were thus purchased at indiyid-
ual box Offices.
Doubtless the theater-going pub
lie will be perfectly willing to give
the new plan a fair trial. To thou
sands Of New Workers and visitors
TO New York the theater has be-
come practically n necessity. But If
It is found that the central office
has tickets only for attractions
which are semi-failures and that II
is impossible to get past the doors Of
"hits" save with a ticket bought
from a profteer better method Of
combating the sharpers will have 10
be adopted.
One thing is certain-theatergocrs
are becoming more and more in
censed at theater-door piracy and
the business Of the managers will
suffer seriously If they do not sue
ceed in ending il. II is 10 their
credit that they now appear to be
seeking earnestly to do 80.

"The Rest Is Silence"

The surprising thing about the
rumor that Mr.. Wilson has left the
practice Of law TO return TO the
practice Of politics is that it is re-
garded with disquietude in many
Democratic circles. The Democratic
party, after spending fourteen years
in innocuous desuetude, was twice
led to victory by Mr.. Wilson, and, il
would seem, has therefore every
reason to regard his return to its
leadership with satisfaction.
At present the high command goes
begging. Ford and Hearst are
plotting TO seize il. And Mayor
Hylan, moving rapidly from city 70
city, never fails Of listeners when
he tells the party what it must dc
10 be saved in 1924.

blame for the wreck that viii surely
follow as will the Governor, provid-
ing he permits il to happen.
A Mccooex IN the Schools

Il IA obviously an outrage upon
the educational system Of the city
that Miss Margaret McCooey, Of no
noteworthy qualifications for the
post Of associate superintendent
save the fact that she is the sister
Of a political boss. is now promoted
to that important post. But why
should any one be especially
amazed or unduly excited? Il was
almost a certainty that the last
election would mean exactly this
result.
No more fragrant entrance Of
politics into the schools could come
TO pass. Yet IN voting for a Tam
many Governor and against a Re-
publican Governor who was pledged
to protect the schools the voters OF
the city, whether they intended it
or no, made inevitable this policy.
The forces Of Hylanism have taken
the election as authority to go full
tilt ahead-and Miss McCooey is
the first achievement of their re-
leased enthusiasm for Tammany in
the schools.
AS a matter Of fact rumor had
il before the election that the poll
ticians had abandoned their inten-
ton Of naming Miss McCooey upon
the theory that the promotion was
little too raw, considering Mr.
John H. McCooey's intimate asso-
ciation with Mr.. Charles +. Muir
ply. Plainly the election ended
these sensitive qualms. There re-
main schools to be built. There is
huge educational system to turn
over to the bosses. No wonder
there is a smile on the face Of the
tigerl Nor do we see how the vast
majority Of New Workers have any
right 70 complain.

The Different Pueblos

It is not generally known that the
origin of the Pueblo Indians, whose
lands have been threatened by the
Bursum Indian bill, is still shrouded
in mystery. The commonly ac-
cepted theory is that they are the
descendants Of the cliff dwellers who
lived in the canyons Of New Mexico
and Arizona, AS early as the first
half Of the sixteenth century, how
ever, when Coronado and other
Spanish explorers passed through
the region Of New Mexico and Ari-
zona, they were living on inacces-
sible mesa tops. There are no rec
ords Of white men ever coming
across inhabited cliff dwellings.
Their villages we're built Of stone,
the masonry in many cases being ex-
cellent, and they made fine pottery
and were skilled in weaving and in
the manufacture Of ornaments.
To-day they are scattered through
cut their little "pueblos" In New
Mexico. having adopted customs
from the Spaniards, the Mexicans
and the Americans, but still retain
ing much Of their early identity.
Despite the similarity in outward
appearance and in local customs,
they belong to three totally different
linguistic stocks, unrelated TO any
other known tongue. To the first
group belong the Zunis, to the sec
ond the tribes speaking the dialects
Of the Keres language, and TO the
third the tribes who speak the Ian
guages of the Kanoan linguistic
group. This latter group includes
three languages - the Tewa, the
Tigua and the Jemez. Those who
speak one tongue cannot understand
the others without learning their
language.
The best known Of the villages Of
these different groups are Zuni,
which, according TO latest statistics,
had a population Of about 1900 /;
lsleta and Taos, both Of which be-
long to the Tigua stock and which
have, respectively, a population of
about 900 and 800 souls, and La
guna, with 1,400 inhabitants. and
Acoma, with nearly 700, both be-
longing to the Keres group. The
other villages range from several
hundred to a few score and belong
70 the Keres and Kanoan stocks.
For centuries these Indians have
been village dwellers. Surrounded
by nomadic savage tribes, such az
the Navajos and the Apaches, they

Hungary and the Turk
the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; I wish 70 correct the reported
statement Of Mr.. Henry Morgenthau
that England played the part last
September which Poland had played in
the Seventeenth century. She (Poland)
turned back the Turkish armies at the
threshold OF Europe and saved the
world from inealeulable bloodshed."
The Turks greatest advance was
marked by their siege OF Vienna in
1888, after which, oveTpowered by the
imperial forces and Magyars combined,
they we're rapidly driven back beyond
the Save and the Danube by the Hun
garian armies.
II Is a historical fact that Hungary
was the only country which drove the
Turks from Europe. The first Of a
long series Of battles between the
Magyars and Turks took place about
the year 1855, on the Danube, near
the Iron Gates. At this period the
high tide OF Hungarian greatness was
reached during the reign Of Louis the
Great (Nagy Lajos). 1929. His
rule extended from the North Sea TO

UnequaIized Naval Strength

The House Naval Affairs Com
mittee has put into the naval appro-
priation bill a request to the Presi-
dent to negotiate further with
Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy for the limitation of non-capi-
tai ship construction. This is an
obvious way Of checking a national
rivalry in warship building, which
persists in spite of the enormously
valuable restrictions put by the
Washington treaties on battleships,
battle cruisers and airplane car
riers.
No agreement could be reached
last winter as to crdlsers, auxil-
iaries, submarines and aircraft. So
the conference adopted the 5-5-3--
l.75-1.75 ratio for major ships and
left the question of further limita-
ton open. This action involved a
discrimination against the United
States, which is especially weak in
cruisers and submarines. The Brit
ish navy has fifty-two cruisers built
and four building. They aggregate
296,39O tons. Japan has ten built
and fifteen building, the total ton
mage in this class being 157,730.
Japan has also projected eight addi-
tional cruisers aggregating 10000
tons. We have no cruisers less than
twelve years old completed, but are
building ten, aggregating $4,000
tons. The 5-5-3 ratio is therefore
farce so far as this category Of
warships is concerned.
The same disparity exists with
regard to submarines. The British
have fifteen built and two building
in the class above 1000 tons. The
japanese have twenty-eight built,
building or projected, some Of them
exceeding / 500 tons. We have only
three submarines Of more than
1000 tons built and three more
building.
The United States therefore does
not have a navy equal to Great Brit
aims or fve-thirds that Of Japan.
The House Naval Affairs Commit
tee frankly emphasizes this fact
and says that If the ratio is not
extended to cover cruisers and sub
marines the government will be
constrained to build new cruisers
and submarines "to the extent nee.
essary to keep us at least abreast
of any Of the other powers"
The capital ship limitation agree
ment has not yet been ratified by
France and Italy. 1t might be very
difficult to get them 20 consider ex,
tending the Washington ratio. Pos
sibly Japan and Great Britain
would be willing to consider it
Retrenchment which would benefit
all and hurt none would be worth
trying for. But pending such al
adjustment the duty Of Congress
is clear. It should produce a plar
which would bring our cruiser anC
submarine strength up to the 5-5-;
standard. 1t should start building
and then await results.

seIEHeInfuI Compassion

Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock seems to be
preparing to run for Senator again
N 1924 He was defeated last month";
reports from Nebraska say, because
be was too recent a dry" convert
and because he led the fight in 1919
1920 for the ratification Of the Yer
sailles Treaty without material modi-
fcations. AS Mr.. Hitchcock forswore
"wetncss" a year or more ago. so
now he forswears the treaty. He IS
as strong against its enforcement as
he was for It's ratification.
The Nebraska Senator'S heart
bleeds for Germany. He repeats the
exploded slander Of "The Black
Horror on the Rhine He attacks
the French policy Of trying to collect
reparations on the ground that 1T
Is a means Of continuing destructive
war on Germany" Germany pro-
yoked war with France, invaded
French territory and carried on
there a war Of savage destruction
Being beaten and promising to pay
damages. she promptly dcfaulted on
her obligations. When the French,
wronqed twice by Germany, seek to
obtain some tangible satisfaction the
Hitchcocks say that defrauded
France is vindictive and that de-
frauding Germany Is more sinned
against than SHINING.
What a pity It is that those who
now lament the state to which Ger
many has been reduced by her war
criminality did not warn the Ger
mans in 1914 that II they were de-
feated they would have to pay Tor
their madnessl These compassionate
outsiders might have said TO the war
enthusiasts in Berlin: Remember
this: If France and her allies sue
cessfully resist your attacks and
compel you 10 beg for peace 1t VIII
20 hard with you. They may strip
YOU of territory and will impose a
terrible indemnity on you for the
losses you will have caused them. II
YOU are crazy 20 fight, go ahead; but
don't plead the baby act II you are
beaten"
Germany has been pleading the
baby act ever since she was beaten.
Undoubtedly she feels just grudge
against those who sympathize with
her now but did not have the cour-
age or good viii to tell her before
she started the war what risks she
was running. Maybe even the Ger
mans suspect that Mr.. Hitchcock is
at present more concerned about the
Nebraska elections Of 1924 than he
is about Poincar6's program and the
Rhine Horror. What was he doing
for Germany in the fatal hours Of
1914? What was he doing in 1919
and 1920, when he was advocating
terms for Germany more onerous
and also more just than any which
France has so far succeeded in i'm
posing on her?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; The Tribune Of this date con-
tains the following statement which

said slightly exaggerated: There
are seventy-threc soldiers drawing
pensions for services in the war with
Mexico and forty-nine widows of sol
diers Of the War Of 1872"
Now, l don't object to paying soldiers
pensions for services rendered. but it
seems TO be somewhat diseouraging to
pay pensions to widows whose claims
date from 1912, 10 years ago. It not
only upsets the life insurance tables,
but It seriously endsngers ones be
