even in the smallest degree, from the
accepted practice would under the
existing circumstances be particu-
larry unfortunate.
1t is one Of the fundamental prin-
ciples of international law that a
citizen OF one nation wronged by
the conduct of another nation must
seek redress through his Own gov
ernment. Wide discretion, it is true,
| is permitted the Department sf State
as to whether, when and how it will
seek redress. But this principle pro-
tects a foreign sovereignty against
sait in the local courts.
In the present instance, therefore,
it is to be regretted that the New
York Supreme Court issued the writ
In question. Such action can serve
only to embarrass the Mexican gov
er1lment and to arouse renewed re-
sentiment in Mexico against America.

respect and compares favorably with

A Deserving Senator

William NJ Calder Is running for
reelection as Senator on record
Of long and faithful service al
Washington. He was member OF
the House of Representatives for
five terms. He is just finishing his
sixth year in the. Senate. No Con-
gressman has been more active thar
ne in acquainting himself with his
constituency or more anxious to rep
resent it intelligently and fairly.
Mr. Calder has put the people of
New York under many obligations.
Perhaps the greatest test of his ca
pacity to represent the state was
his vote ct the last session on the
bonus bill. This bill was an cleo
tloneering project--a scheme to
mend political fences of candidates
by buying the favor Of big voting
group. Most Of the Republican
leaders in the House and Senate fell
for it. Most Of them were willing
to. wreck the great work of re-
trenchment. done in Congress since

obligation on the hard-pushed
Treasury.
Our two Senators stood firm. It
was perhaps harder for the Junior
Senator to do SO, since he was com
ing up for denomination and re-
election. But he passed the test.
Would his present opponent have
passed it?
Mr.. Calder has attained a post
Oh influence in the Senate. He is
an experienced legislator-a mem
Der OF the Finance Committee the
ranking committee of the Senate. It
would be an error Of judgment to
olspiace him for newcomer with

Elephants VS.. Ducks

The duck hunter who sits frigidiy
in battery, with the cold waves oc-
casionally splashing over him and
his decoys bobbing about him, is sure
to feel that the British colonel who
insists on having sixteen elephants
to hunt pink duck in the Indian
jungle is unreasonable in his de-
mands. 1t is true that the fiivver
has recently crept into duck hunting,
just as it has into the chase of the
African lion. Many sportsman
nowadays will spend the night COM
fortably in his home and roll down
to the beach before dawn in his fliv-
yer, there to take his place behind a
blind, prepared to blaze away at the
unsuspecting ducks.
But even this innovation is moth
ing compared to the use Of elephants.
Not even Mr.. Ringling or his broth
ers ever thought that they couldn't
hunt ducks without elephants. To
use an elephant to hunt tigers is one
thing. But for hunting ducks, even
if the ducks head is pink, an ele-
phant seems a vulgar display of
might.
AS usual, however, in such mat
ters, the point of view of the duck
who is the one most poignantly con-
cerned-is not obtainable. After all.
1t is the two-barrel shotgun that
does the work. ard to a happy-go-
lucky victim, winging his way across
marsh at dawn, with his mind set
upon breakfast, it can make little
difference whether the sportsman
adds to his equipment dozen Fords
or forty elephants.

That Last Six Inches

More tragic than magnificent was
the spectacle Of the embattled men,
bers of the City Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs entrenched in convention
at the Hotel Astor and firing their
last cartridges against the steadily
lengthening skirt. After all. if you
don't want to wear long skirts you
don't have to. Why SO desperate
and resolute?

tidings from the suitmakers and
dressmakers suggest that a good
deal of hope remains. Evening

the harm in that is hard to see, and
the possibilities of grace sway and
ripple forth to be praised. AS for
street suits they stay at a dead

the exact height depending upon
which avenue you are shopping in.
Here is surely a gain for health
and happiness, and as long as it en-
dures why worry? 1t includes the
main point--that the woman who
