ESTOP REMOVAL
OF BUILDINGS In
PAVING DISTRICT
Village Board I'm Regular Monthly
Session Transacts Much
Important Business

No more buildings are to be re-
moved from property in the paw
ing district, according to an order
issued to Street Commissioner L. ID.
Allen at the regular monthly ses-
sion of the. village board Tuesday
evening OF last week.
II was called to the attention OF
the board that there was an instance
where a property owner had removed
a building from a lot adjacent TO
Main street, and it was pointed out
that such practice is unfair to the
company holding the paving bonds,
inasmuch as the property contiguous
to Main street was security for the
payment of the bond issue.
Salary Matter Tabled.
A variety of other matters came
up for action of the board, among
them being the reduction of the sal
AIRY of the street and water commits
sioner and marshal ex-officio. This
matter was presented by Trustee L. \
M. Smith, but was not put to a mo-
ton, IL being shown that IL was IL |
legal for the board to either increase
or reduce the salary of an appointed |
official during his term of office.
A police light is to be erected on
the fire station, to be operated from
the telephone office. This will be
a red signal light. and is to be used
for attracting the attention of the
town marshal whenever his services
are desired. An auxiliary light will
also be placed on the fire station TO
be lighted when night fire alarms
are turned in. The board decided
the placing of a police signal light
on Main street was unnecessary.

Up-to-Datc Immigration Quotas

The Italian Ambassador has ap-
pealed to our government to change
the date year in the figuring of i'm
migration quotas. He would have
1920 used rather than 1910. No
good reason would seem to exist for
denying the request.
The quota law is based on the
fact, at last generally perceived,
that the arriving immigrant is
Americanized rather through his
contact with those Of his stock who
are already here than through con-
tact with native Americans. SO the
law makes the admissions from a
country proportionate to the num-
Der Of the natives of the country
now with us and at least partly
Americanized
The law in some respects is neces-
sarily arbitrary. 1t does not rccog-
nlZe, for example, that immigrants
who speak our language more easily
merge than those who do not. It
takes no account Of the circum-
stance that immigration comes in
waves from particular countries, and
that immigration credits, if such
they may be called, might we'll be-
carried over from year to year. But
perfection is hardly to be expected.
But this is no reason why remov-
able imperfections should be con-
tinued. When the law was passed
the 1910 census furnished the latest
body Of reliable statistics. But the
1920 figures are now available.
Being more up to date, it would
seem obvious that they should be
used. The spirit Of the law sup
ports the appeal of the Italian Am
bassadOr.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-10
The Magic Key

The failure of certain universities
notably Columbia, to recognize the
changing status Of women and to
open the doors Of all departments to
them is commented upon by Marga-
ret Ladd Franklin in a recent num-
Der of "The Woman Citizen" In the
case Of Columbia it is the Law School
that remains closed, in spite Of the
prediction that when New York be-
came suffrage state its foremost
law school would not continue to bar
women.
Miss Franklin makes the sugees-
ton that since woman suffrage has
not broken down the barriers to the
schools Of medicine and law, the re-
form may be brought about in an
other and mora subtle way. She calls
attention to the fact that Johns Hop
klns admitted women to its medical
school fifteen years before any other
department of the college recognized
women as students. A 100000 gift
from Mary Garrett, with the condi-
ton that women should have the
same privileges as men, was the
magic key. And Johns Hopkins
Medical School, it may be noted, has
become the greatest school of it's
kind in the country Columbia's s
Medical School was opened to women
by the same sort Of key, and Cornell
is co-educational in all departments
for very good financial reason.
Men and women are continually

Little Lessons in Safety

Having admitted that there may
be some truth in rumors that crimi-
nails are III town, it occurs to Mr.. En-
right that the people ought to be in
structed in methods of avoiding
them. He has therefore established
a correspondent school whose pur-
pose is to equip citizens to protect
adequately their own safety.
In series of "Dont's" the Com
missioner explains just how to repel
the advances Of any of the several
species of crooks. He even instructs
bankers in modes Of arming their
clerks and drilling them in vault pro-
lection.
If the school proves popular and
citizens generally subscribe to the
course it will not be necessary for
Mr.. Enright to discontinue his pub
lie speaking. Already twenty-five
thousand people are under arms
enough, when they have learned how
to use them, to drive practically all
the robbers out Of town unaided by
the Police Commissioner.
Of course, these twenty-five thou
sand can be counted on only to take
care of highwaymen, gunmen and
armed burglars. Porch climbers,
sneak thieves and pickpockets will be
frustrated by general knowledge of
their ways, and soon will have to
pack up and move to some town in
which the police commissioner is less
solicitous about the education Of the
public.
True, there are some persons who
think that they are paying taxes to
insure their lives, liberty and pursuit
of happiness. and that Mr.. Enright
ought to do himself what he is teach
ing them to do. But in everv COM
munity there are complainers and
cavilers and malcontents. Most of
the citizens who have followed Mr..
Enrights career feel that in warn
ing them of the presence Of thieves
in their midst and instructing them
how to circumvent these gentry he
is doing all he could be expected to do.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-10
More Federal Judges

Influenced largely by Chief JUS
tice Taft's recommendations Con-
gress has provided for consider
able expansion of the Federal ju-
dietary. The bill which the House
passed creates twenty-five addi-
tional district Judges. The Senate's
bill authorized the appointment Of
one more district judge and of cir
cult judge-the latter for the Fourth
Federal Circuit.
Mr.. Taft has been one Of the most
earnest advocates of a simplifica-
ton and speeding up of justice
His judicial and political experience
has made him impatient of the de-
lays and complications which wear
down suitor and amount, unless
he has ample means and time at his
command, almost to closing the
courts doors against him. The
Chief Justices plans for reform in
clude an abridgment of technical
obstacles to adjudication, the accele-
ration of trials and the clearing up
of the Federal dockets. Not only
are new judgeships to be created
in the crowded districts, but an an
nual judicial conference is to be
held, at which the Chief Justice
may assign to service elsewhere
judges in districts where the calen-
dars are not congested.
Anything that helps to keep the
courts abreast of their work is well
come. The litigant is often the last
man in court whose convenience is
consulted. In giving justice judges
have ignored the old adage that he
gives twice who gives quickly. Wis
count Bryce in his two studies of
the United States pointed out that
the administration of justice was
one of the weak points of our gov
ernmental system. In his last work
he laid the blame for this compara-
tive failure on the American habit
of electing judges. The trouble
goes much deeper than that. JUS
tice has become too much a battle
of legal skill and intricacies, in
which the mysteries of practice and
the red tape of procrastination are
so large a factor.
Mr.. Taft wants to make Justice a
simpler and easier thing and to put
1T more within everybody's reach.
he will have the public's support in
his experiment with the Federal
courts. The Legislature has just en-
larged New York City's under
manned criminal courts. More
judges, more expedition, less in
volved procedure, a fairer deal for
litigants--these are all necessary
moves to relieve our judicial sys-
tenn Of defects which even an excep-
tionally kindly critic like Viscount
Bryce could not pass over in silence

Stockton on Clock Setting

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The annual monkeyinr with the
clocks, for the amusement of a few.
the discomfort, confusion and incon-
venience Of many, seems again In
evitable. or course It's unayailing
yet may l not quote what the late
Frank r. Stockton said upon this sub
Ject thirty years and more ago? In
his charming "The Clocks Of Ron
daine he wrote
"The altering Of the time Of day,
which you speak Of so lightly. Is a
very serious matter which should be
considered with all gravity. If you set
back clock, even as littls as ten
minutes, you add that much to the
time that has passed. The hour which
has just gone by has been made
seventy minutes long. Now. no human
being has the right to add ANYTHING to
the past, nor to make hours longer than
they were originally made. And. on
the other hand, if you set clock for
ward, even so little as ten minutes.
you take away that much from the
future and you make the coming hour

France Keeps Her Word''

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Please accept my thank. for
your enlightening editorial France
Keeps Her Word" in to-day's Tribune.
Through M. Brands failure to give
definite figures, the average American
reading the reports of the last few
days from Paris does not at all realize
the cut which has been made in the
size Of the French army and with the
size of our own army in mind, is still
apt to regard France as over-armed.
If Americans could only visualize
what it would mean to US If, instead
Of 100000 friendly Canadians. we
had along our northern border 1so.-
100000 (for that would be the propor-
tlonal population) people, most Of
whom hated us, they would understand
that France, far from being militar
lstlc, is really merely taking the nee
essary measures for self-preservation.
No one who is familiar with what
she mas accomplished since the arnjs-
tlce can believe it is for the pleasure
OF having great army that France is
retaining even the eighteen months
service and keeping over 100000 men
out Of productive employment.

The Red Mix-Up

The dark Reds, medium Reds and
pale Reds got together in Berlin the
other day and there was {. violent
commotion at the red end Of the
spectrum. The Second, Second
a-half and Third Internationales
were represented in the gathering.
and the problem was to bring these
three into some sort of MARKHAM or
post-Marxian harmony.
AS was to be expected, the dark
Reds, medium Reds and pale Reds
took their differences much more
seriously than the outside world is
capable of taking them. A year or
two ago Lenins and Trotzky set up
Third lnterhationale, which was
to replace ali others. At that time
the Moscow Marxists were stricken
with a curious color blindness. Le-
nine could recognize his own tag, but
the tags which the other Marxists
had been wearing suddenly lost all
their tincture Of blood. The dictator
of the Kremlin sent out emissaries
to reorganize European and Ameri-
can socialism and issued edicts ex-
pelling the German, French, Italian.
British and American apostles of
proletarianism who differed with
him. Our own Morris Hillquit was
found not to measure up to Terror
ist standards.
To-day Lenine knows more or has
developed something of sense of
humor. He long has been persecut-
ing the Russian Revolutionary So
clalists. Isn't a Russian Revolution
airy Socialist pretty robust product
Of MarXism? Lenine said no. But
Radek, the agent whom he sent to
Berlin, found it hard work defend
ing the logic which classifes the
Revolutionary Socialist or even the
Menshevik as sort Of bourgeois
backslider, eligible to imprisonment
because of his political opinions.
Radek yielded so far to the protests
of Vandervelde, representing the
Second Internationale, as to promise
to allow the latter to go to Moscow
to defend the Revolutionary Social-
lists and Mensheviki in case they
should be tried for unorthodoxy.
To this extent brotherly amity
has been restored. But it will be an
amity with reservations. Lenine is
feminist first and Marxist after
ward. He would rather do business
with the bourgeois than with Social
lists, even those Of most radical and
revolutionary tendency. who refuse
to go his way. Lenine is at present
very touchy personally on the sub
ject of revolutions directed against
him. He feels about them exactly
the way the Car felt about them.
