Where the Power Lies.
New York Has the Delegates t
Name or Defeat Mr.. Hearst.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Mr..
Hearst must have been greatly cheered
during his brief visit by the information
from Mr.. Corners that the Democrats
of twenty-five upstate counties were
solidly united in favor of his nomina-
tion for Governor by their party.
The coming State convention of the
Democratic party will consist of 73l
delegates. OF this number 444 will come
from the five boroughs comprised in
Greater New York and 290 from up.
State.
Conceding Mr.. Hearst all the dele.
gates from upstate, there would still
be a majority Of 154 against him.
Concedng him the delegates from the
twenty-five upstate counties having the
largest representation in the Democratic
State convention, he would have 199
votes as against 535.
Unless the Wigwam in Fourteenth
street can be successfully invaded and
the heart Of Mr. Murphy softened Mr.
Hearsi's first query to Mr.. Conners after
the Democratic State convention has
finished its labors will be What was
all the shooting about?"

Meeker, 40 Walker street:
'In 1854 the Walton house. at that
time the palace of the city, was built
in Pearl street by William Walton. a
merchant, and son-in-law of James De
Lancey, who had amassed fortune by
successful ventures in foreign trade.
This house was elegantly fitted up
ic the fashion of the times, and fur
rished luxuriously, and the fame of its
splendor extended to England, and was
quoted there as a proof of the mad
extravaganza of the colonists and their
ability to support unlimited taxation.
THE house was built of yellow Hol-
land brick. with five windows in front,
and tiled roof, encircled with balus-
trades. The garden extended down to
the river. At later date 1t was the
scene of the marriage of Citizen Genet.

REAL PARIS RESIDENCE
REQUIRED FOR DIVORCE
Judges Beg inning to Oppose
American Petitions.

PARIS, June 25.-Associated Press. y
American lawyers I'm Parts are being
delused with inquiries as to the proce-
dure necessary TO obtain divorce in
French courts the correspondence being
provoked by the number of divorces OF
Americans which have been granted in
France recently The absolute secrecy
with which DEGREES are obtained appears
to be the feature that attracts, but French
judges are beginning to set their faces
against the growing practice of Ameri-
cans of liquidating their family troubles
III France The courts stand firmly on
two statutory provisions: that the ap-
plicant must have real residence In
Paris, not q mere make believe resi-
dence. and that legal reason must exist
why the applying American was unable
u procure divorce In his or her own
country.
Secrecy as regards divorce proceedings
here is guaranteed by the laws prohibit
ing publication Of details that are con-
rected with divorce cases. Even mem
tion I'm print that a divorce has been
granted is declared In the code to be con-
tyary to public interest. Divorce cases
are not listed on the court calendar and
ere not recorded publicly; they are
merely transmitted to the authorities OF
the ward in which the interested parties
live. The order may be entered on the
civil records OF such persons
II is popularity supposed that thou
sands of couples have been divorced in
Paris without any other publicity than
that travelling by word of mouth. This
secrecy ia criticized by some students of
TIE social question, who think that pub
.icity of divorces would promote better
social conditions.

Peace In the Pacific is assured by
treaty, although internal strife may
continue in China for some time. in the
opinion of Isaac +. Marcosson, writer
and lecturer, who has just returned from
six months tour of the Orient to study
the economic and political consequences
of the Washington conference.
He is convinced that Japan. so far as
her foreign policies are concerned. is
undergoing a decided change. and has
discovered that her policy of aggression
and forceful penetration has heen a
grave mistake. Although the treaties
have not been formally signed. Mr.. Mar
cosson believes their ratification is a
matter OF mere formality, and that the
appointment of Admiral Baron Kato as
Premier leaves no doubt about the fate
of these documents.
The Chinese domestic difficulties will
never be entirely Strengthened out, in
Mr.. Marcosson's opinion, until some out
standing figure rises in the role Of a
dictator and rules the nation in some
what the fashion Diaz ruled Mexico
years ago DR.. Sun Yat-sen. in an in
terview, impressed the American OBJ
server as being man of impractical
vision honest and sincere. but hardly the
man to lead the republic into unifica-

hazardous business" said Mr.. Marcos

unification. He now has that oppor-
tunity. and II he Is q sincere patriot he
Will join forces with the northern Gov
ernment. But unification in China will
be long process because of the need
less jealousy and corruption"
The commercial possibilities in China
are limitless. said Mr.. Marcosson, whose
field of observation covered the business
as well as political phases of the nation.
Germany. he added, is making the best
of her opportunities there, to the detri-
ment of American trade, although the
British interests are still dominant.
THE impress of SHINES is very
marked in the Far East" he said. "Dr.
Solf is Ambassador to Toxic, and the
Germans are making unprecedented ef-
forts to penetrate commercially in China
and Japan.
Americans however, are favored in
China, and there is a feeling of the
deepest gratitude for the Washington
conference. China wants to do business
with us on an increasing scale, and now
that we have an adequate merchant
marine it would be little short of a ma
tional calamity If we did not dispute the
trade honors with other nations"
Speaking of conditions in Germany.
Mr.. Marcosson said he regarded DIR.
Rathenau as beyond question the ablest
man Germany has produced. He was
one of the few man France trusted, and
his assassination, in Mr.. Marcossons
opinion, has been a great blow to re-
construction and reparation.

Double Barreled Party Wrecking

There is enough dynamite in the
Fordney- -McCumber bonus scheme
now threatening to dishonor the
United States Congress to wreck the
party responsible for it in several
States if it becomes a law.
The American people are not going
to let five billions of dollars be taken
from their pockets by lawmakers that
want in this way to further their
own political ambitions-the Ameri-
can people are not going to have such
an unprincipled thing done to them
and not rise up on election day
against the iniquity.
But the colossal bonus raid on the
Treasury is not the only party
wrecking job the Fcrdneys and Nc
Cumbers are at in Congress. There
is enough dynamite as well in the
Fordney- -McCumber tariff to wreck
the party responsible for it in several
States if it becomes law.
The American people are not going
to be taxed as they never were taxed
before by an insufferably high cost
of living caused by irrational tariff
duties that will drive up the prices
of the necessaries of life-the Amer
lean people are not going to become
the victims of the excessive Fordney-
McCumber tariff duties without max
ing it cost the party that commits
such an economic outrage and
political blunder many seats in the
House of Representatives and in the
Senate.
Democrats to man know this and
are already congratulating one an
ether on the brilliant prospects the
Fordney- -McCumber leadership in
Congress is creating for the Demo-
cratic party. Hundreds Of thousands
CT Republican voters know it and are
asking one another what this tariff
lunacy and bonus making can be that
drives the party in control of the
United States Government to a course
that is little short of committing
political suicide.
Yet the Fordneys and the Nc
Cumbers stick it out all the harder
that they are going through both with
their bonus iniquity and with their
tariff monstrosity, though their ac-
tion should tumble their party in
ruins from the Eastern seahoard to
the Golden Gate.
What, indeed, is this madness that
moves the Congress representatives
of the great Republican party to al
low the Fordney caliber and type in
the House and the McCumber caliber
and type in the Senate to go on un-
bridled with their reckless, wild, ir-
rational policy of double barreled
party wrecking?

MONDAY. JUNE 2s. 1922.
All Is Quiet-and Shameful.

The Governor of Illinois has re-
called the troops from the scene OF
the mine butchery because claw and
order are restored" What the phrase
quoted really means is that the mob,
having killed or wounded every pos
sible victim, stopped numbering.
An investigator sent to William
son county by the Governor reported
that mo further trouble is expected
unless the mining companies try to
resume operations" This is putting
upon the mine owners the RESPONSE
bility for the peace. 1t Is saying to
the public that the mob, by its mas
sacre of twenty-five unarmed men,
has won the day.
1t is very much as if the authori-
ties of New York, after twenty-five
citizens had been killed by bandits,
should issue statement saying that
mo further trouble is expected un-
less citizens try to walk the streets
or open their stores"
There seems to be a passion for
peace in southern Illinois, now that
the mob, stated with blood, has pock-
eted its pistols and knives. But
among the officials, local and State,
there seems to be no passion for JUS
tice, no comprehension of the helm
GUS crime that was committed.
Is it a delusion, this evident no.
tion among the Illinois officials that
murder is not murder when it is
done in the name of unionism? Or
is their spirit, as most OF the outer
world suspects, plain cowardice?
Whatever the trouble with the men
responsible for law and order in Illi-
nois, this country is not going to for
get the butchery. Senator MYERS of
Montana voiced the national senti-
ment when he declared in the Senate
on Saturday that there is no free
America and there will never be
until an American citizen who wants
to work and earn an honest living
can go and get work and pursue that
work in peace without having to OBJ
tain the consent of an invisible gov
ernment."
That was the only crime Of the
Herrin mob's victims-seeking to
make living.
The local officials failed to do their
duty before. during and after the
horror. The State officials, instead
of talking and acting to the end OF
bringing the murderers to justice
are talking about how trouble" can
be avoided. If they fail in their duty
IL even the people of Illinois should
blink the States shame, the United
States cannot close its eyes.
For until the coal mine butchery
is legally avenged, how can America
look another nation in the eye and
speak the word "eivilization"?

Salem Ships.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
When Salem ships came blowing home.
From lotus lands and tossing foam,
They carried lustrous silk and tea,
Rich cargoes from spicy lea;
From beaches where the maidens comb
Their tresses singing DER the sea.
The men that climbed about their spars
Were sturdy, eager, daring tars.
Who blazed pathway to the East;
They told of Chinese lantern feast,
With incense drifting to the stars,
And haunting cries that never ceased
The color of that glowing sphere
Was mirrored in this land austere,
And in dim attics laid away
Are treasures from that far Cathay;
Rich memories of drlfted year,
When Salem ships loomed from the
gray.

The Way of Art.
A Criticism of the Theory and Prac-
tice of Scholarships.

To THE New YORK HERALD: This
morning l read on the last page of THE
NEW YORK HERALD the second act in the
comedy entitled: Awarding the Prix de
Rome"
From almost poverty the middleaged
winner receives the homage of one of
our millionaires. This would stun the
ina aginative mind of Dumas!
Now this latest development affords
speculation as to the impartiality in the
awarding of prizes. Why single out
just one artist in the competition?
Always curious. l hurried uptown to
the Academy of Design. There I saw
the three paintings Of the contestants.
Why. all three were fine in fact the
winners work was not as original. per-
feet and beautiful as are the two other
compositions. What are they to do?
Left in the cold they must continue to
suffer
Now logic affirms the following:
Prizes are delusion. Every person
who is born an artist does creditable
work in his own way There are thou
sands of other men who are eligible to
a prize at "a. He who has been singled
out Is no better than the others; some
times his work is inferior. Therefore
why favor one man to the detection of
the others equally proficient?
This is puzzle.
The third act of the comedy will be:
the winner has received the hospitality
of wealthy artists palatial home until
he, sails away to the Academy. He is
shown how to paint. &C., by celebrated
American artists. In fine. he has a job.
Then, why does he forsake this oppor-
tunity?
The expenses the Academy defray for
him would be better bestowed on young
genius who has no influence from a mil
lionaire LOUIS NJ EILsHEMIUs.

Rumania Loses an Able Man.

BY the death of TAKE JoNEscU
Rumania loses one of the ablest men
she has ever had in her public SER
vice. He was three times Premier
and four times Foreign Minister. He
will perhaps be best remembered as
the man who turned Rumania from
her early leaning toward Germany
and Austria and aligned her with the
Allies.
JoNEscU had in this difficult
task. He fought in the first place
the secret understanding entered
into shortly before the world war
which made Rumania practically a
silent member of the Triple Alliance,
and he then opposed the course o.
while ostensibly a neutral, in reality

the Central Empires. After the old
Kings death and the accession Of his
nephew to the throne he had a val
liant ally I'm his purposes in Queen
MARIE. He was bitterly attacked
when RumaniG was invaded anG
upon him was placed the chief re-
sponsbility for the treaty which
forced Rumania's retirement frorn
the war.
His reconstructive policy has been
most advantageous to Rumanian de-
velopment, as it embodied the ALI

Uncle Sam Should Pay.
The Post Office Department has
issued the subjoined official notice:

Every city and village mail car
rier in the United States is to pro-
vide himself with cap number or /
badge, according to an order issued
by First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral JOHN II. BARTLETT to-day.
"The badge will show the number
of the carrier's. route and the name
of the post office. and will be at
tached to the cap or hat in the usual
manner. Carriers are required to
purchase the badges themselves. The
cost of each badge is 1874 cents"
THE New YORK HERALD assumes
that the Identification badges for let
ter carriers are necessary. This being
the case why should the carriers be
compelled to buy them? Letter car
riers are not overpaid; 16 cents is
something for every man to think
about in these days.
The Government ought to buy and
pay for letter carriers badges, under
suitable regulations requiring care
less carriers to replace lost badges at
their own expense. Badges should be
issued to carriers on entering the
service and turned in by carriers leav-
ing it. They should not be the
personal property of men who are
separated from the service.
II the Government cannot afford to
pay for these badges it is a sure
thing that letter carriers cannot
afford to pay for them.
