The Motto on the New Dollar Partly
ShOrn OF Its Meaning Now.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The letter
by John Watts on the lettering OF the
new silver dollar / heartily indorse The
thought Of putting five consonants to-
gethcr which do not spell anything and
tc use v to destroy that one word
which means so much to us all seems
to be absurd.
To remove the letter u. the beginning
os union. united and universal when the
world Is crying out for unity and peace,
and for our nation. which has stamped
on its coins so many years 'Tn God We

to other peoples as IL we no longer are

A vase Of violets.

The roofs are deep with frozen SHOWS
And bitterly the norther blows,
But ] am not imagining

A fragrance from the mossy dells
Where dewy pink arbutus dwells
And velvet honey bees carouse
Is waited to me as / browse.
A bank of purple blossoms sweet
Must spread its beauty at my feet.

The brown wood thrushes luting near
A hidden brooklet softly Groom,
A gray gnat pipe steady tune,
And on my cheek and brow l guess
The idle south winds shy caress.

Beyond the frosty window panes,

My curtained chamber yet pervades.

A little ivory igurine
And silver box Of cigarettes.

Distance Runners.
Big, Heavy Men With Both Speed
and Endurance.

To THE NEW York HERALD Your
editorial article entitled Lean Horses
for Long Races" seems to imply that
Lons Myers, the worlds premier middle
distance foot runner. was also a dis
tance runner superior to w. G. George
the Englishman. The records of the
two men prove that George was the
best miller. while Myers excelled at the
half mile. 1000 yards and three-quarters
OF mile distances.
George holds the worlds record for
the mile-professional-- ;12M. made in
q match race with w. Cummings OF
Paisley. Scotland, in the SOS. His time
has been beaten but once. by our Nor
man Taber, 4 :12 3-5. six or seven years
ago, at Cambridge, Mass.
Not by any stretch of imagination
could Myers be classed as "a distance
man. though credited with 4:13 for this
mile in a private trial. which of course
cannot be considered.
George was. as you say, OF much
more poundage than Myers, but he was
in spite of his great weight and any
thing but graceful form remarkable
distance runner.
As an all round performer Myers's
equal has yet to be produced at dis
tances from SO to 1890 yards. and his
classic thousand In 2:13 has been beaten
but a couple of times by specialists al
that distance and under much more
favorable conditions than those when
Lon ran his race in the early sos.
Generally speaking lean and small
men do make the best distance run
ners, but there are enough exceptions
to this rule to make one doubt it's in
fallibility, such. for instance. as our
George V. Bonhag and Harry Smith. two
of the greatest distance runners America
ever produced. and both of whom could
be classcd as big men OF goodly pound
age. WILLIAM II. PARRY,

New German Foreign Minister.

BY his appointment of DR.. WALTER
RArnENAU as Minister of Foreign
Affairs Chancellor WIRTH has un-
doubtedly strengthened the present
German Government. In the first
Wirth Cabinet DIR. RATHENAU was
Minister of Reconstruction. His con-
ference with M. LoUcHEuR, French
Minister of the Devastated Regions.
over the questions of reparations and
reconstruction and his specific state
ments of the facts regarding the Ger
man reparations payments while hold
ing this post and his subsequent mis-
sion to London in the interest of
German economic conditions, all had
the effect of impressing upon the
allied nations his thorough and en-
lightened grasp of Germany's situa-
tion and her relations with the rest
of the world.
1t is without doubt by reason of
his superior understanding of Ger
many's economic needs that DR..
RATHENAU was selected for the For
eign Ministry. At the time of the
reorganization of the German Cabi-
net last October he was DR.. WIRTH's s
choice for the post and his declina-
tion then of the appointment was Of
fered as the reason why the Chan
cellor assumed the duties of this min
istry In addition to his own.
The portfolio of the Foreign Min
lister is to-day the most important
in the German Government. 1t de-
mands not so much a man with a
knowledge OF the intricacics of diplo-
lacy and international politics as a
practical man of affairs who can ap.
preciate economic values and who has
breadth of vision enough TO solve
the industrial problems with which
the nation. is struggling. The read
iustment OF her commercial relations
with the world is Germanys chief
concern. II is the great task that
the Foreign Minister. more than any
other official OF the Government. must
undertake and carry to successful
issue.
DR.. RATHENAu won his leadership
in the German industrial world long
before the world war. Like SrINNEs
with whom he is so often compared
lie inherited wealth aud early in life
he took over the management OF
large industries. His chief concern
was the German General Electric
Company and its various branches
and ramifcations throughout the
world. lie became deeply interested
in national politics with the estab
lishment of the republic, but as Z
supporter Of the German coalition
bloc he has been more the rival o.
STiNNEs, the promoter and leader o.
tho Peoples party, than a supporter
Of his financial plans. The differ

Only One Practical Port Plan.

The hearing at Albany on the Port
Authority plan emphasized what was
already pretty plain to everybody
who knew anything about the mat
ter. There is no choice except be-
tween a theory which would be
expensive if it were put in practice
and a carefully formulated and prac-
tical plan which will be economical
of Operation. Former Governor
SMITH, who has the happy gift of
aphorism, declared that all there was
to the Hylan plan was "a green line
on a map and hope that the rail-
roads will get together and build it."
On the other hand, the Port Author
ity plan does not depend upon either
the railroads or the municipalities
for success but upon the two great
States which are already joined by
treaty for the purpose of developing
this port.
The Port Authority plan is to be
more than self-supporting. Accord
ing to Chairman OUTERBRlDGE's fig
ures the cost will be $329,000, 900,
but the saving in freight charges will
leave yearly balance of nearly
S14,000,000 after the operating, inter
est, amortization and tax expenses
are paid. The Hylan plan would
cost $15S, 100000, without providing
freight service to Manhattan, and
would save only s1,527,000 a year,
What is more to the point, the Hylan
plan has no method at hand of con-
Meeting New York with New Jersey,
while the Port Authority plan is
based on an agreement already
signed by the States.
In short, there is only one plan
that offers complete and speedy re-
lief for the ills of metropolitan
commerce. This is the Port Author
ity scheme. The city officials have
been vainly urged to cooperate with
it. They have opposed it out of sheer
ward politics, although the State con-
vention of their own political party
indorsed it in it's platform two years
ago. 1t seems impossible to hope that
the dull HYLAN, the obdurate CRAIG
or any of the lesser members Of the
board will change their attitude. AL
SMITH, himself of Tammany, has
abandoned the idea of cooperating
with the Tammany Board of Esti-
mate. You can't cooperate" he
says, with man who has a black
jack in one hand and a slungshot in
the other
When the two States most con-
cerned have agreed on system for
unsnarling the commerce of this
countrys greatest gate there is no
need to wait on the whims of few
little politicians. The Legislature
should pass the port bill at once.

Remus or Josh Billings. Those extrava-
giant idioms. by their studied perverse-
ness. serve to emphasize the beauties
of correctly spelled English.
In my boyhood days in the country
the boys went "fshin" and "courtin.'
the mothers did the "knittin" and the
girls studied "sinsin" and "dancin.
But those solecisms never went beyond
oral expression. Those countrybred
people would be ashamed to perpetuate
them by the use of pen and ink.

Uncommon
Sense

a frst-class fiction writer ever dreams
of doing.
The great tenor finds pleasure in
his job, and incidentally in the money
he gets from 1t.
But he works about six or seven
hours a day at it now, and a earlier
life he worked ten or twelve hours,
receiving far less pay for exactly as
good music.
If good jobs were TO be had by little
effort. practically everybody would
have a good job. The reason that
they are so few, and hat so many of
those few are not filed, is that all
of them demand the hardest kind of
hard work, not only to get but TO Keep
them.
Genius, which !. said to know how
to do things before 1t is born, has to
work just as hard as m~ediocrity to
gain and keep success.
Nothing you can think of that brings
real rewards can be accomplished with
out more work than most of us can
contemplate without getting tired ct
the mere thought of it.
