The New Jersey Senate Fight

Joseph s. Frelinghuysen's CAM
paign for reelection as United
States Senator from New Jersey has,
according to most observers, gained
much headway in the last two or
three weeks. Mr.. Frelinghuysen has
something substantive to present to
the voters--his own record in Con-
gress, his vote against the bonus, his
support Of the shipping bill, which
interests New Jersey as state with
large maritime interests, his general
/ attitude Of support toward the poll
cies of the Harding Administration.
Here is positive exhibit. His
opponent, Governor Edward I. Ed
wards, offers nothing but an irrele-
want aspiration. All the Governors
hopes and dreams-political, not per-
sonal, for Mr.. Edwards practices
total abstinence-are centered on the
restoration of a status of legalized
"wetness." All that the Democratic
candidate stands for is summed up in
non-participating vow to make New
Jersey and the remainder of it's in
habitants as wet as the Atlantic
Ocean-particularly that part be-
yond the three-mile limit.
This Is an issue which at present
is outside party politics. Nationally,
neither the Democratic nor the Re-
publican party will touch it. 1t is
a question, if Mr.. Edwards were
elected Senator, whether he would
have an opportunity to vote to sub
NIT an amendment resembling the
prohibition amendment. He might
or he might not. Yet he has based his
appeal to the New Jersey voters on
this one remote and nebulous con-
tingency.
He Is obstinately riding single
idea, little related to the actualities
Of politics. He must be doing this
designedly. Yet his candidacy has
stagnated because it's scope is too
narrow. Is New Jersey merely to
take wet referendum next Tues
day or to elect a man to wrestle with
many other more immediate political
problems at Washington?
Mr.. Frelinghuysen's feet are on
the ground. He has made practi-
cal record as Senator. He seeks a
decision on the facts Of the case, and
is plainly entitled to reelection. Mr..
Edwards has lodged primary polit-
ical facts. He has edged away from
the bonus, the tariff, the shipping
bill and even the League of Nations.
He seeks to be elected simply because
OF benevolent desire not to be wet
himself but to be the mnving cause
Of Wetness for others.

The Shippers Dilemma

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Judge Hand has said that our
ships must be dry wherever they may
be. Long ago international law placed
American ships Except men Of wary,
while in foreign ports, directly under
the laws Of those ports. We cannot
hope to enforce our laws on foreign
ships IN our ports and escape foreign
laws with our ships in foreign ports.
An American skipper can be arrested
for having wine on his ship in an
American port, and he might be ar
rested for not having it on board in 4

brought to bear upon it have too

and petty politician"
The law against hazing Is drastic.
But no sooner does the superintendent

law than Congressman and powerful in

quently been condemned for the exist
ing conditions and the midshipmen
have escaped. Naturally this invites
recurrent contempt for authority
There is little fear Of punishment, and
there is always the confident hope OF
going free. This is disastrous to dis
cipline.
There are ample laws against all
forms of misconduct and failure in
studies at the Naval Academy. The Re-
vised Statutes of the United States,
the Laws for the Government of the
Navy, which are read to the midship-
men from time to time, make it the
duty Of any commanding officer to "be
vigilant in inspecting the conduct Of
all persons who are placed under his
command; to guard against and sup
press all disso!ute and immoral prac-
tees and to correct according to the
laws. and regulations OF the navy all
persons who are guilty Of them" And
the commanding officer Is required to
bring to trial by court martial any per-
son "who is guilty Of profane swear
ing, falsehood, gambling, fraud, theft,
or any other scandalous conduct tend
ing TO the destruction OF good morals"
Thus the standards Of the navy are
high and always have been. Politics
and politicians have no more right to
interfere with and control the admins

envy than they have. to dictate the

New-York tribune., 1922-11-03
The Choice

So far as New York City is con-
csrned the campaign for Governor is
narrowing down, as it draws to a
close, to the transit problem.
The most important thing the next
state administration can do for this
town is to give it enough subways
and maintain five-cent fare. That
will be done by the Transit Commits
sion, appointed by Governor Miller,
il Governor Miller Is reelected.
Mr. Smith promises, if elected, to
remove the Transit Commission.
This means continuance Of condi-
tons as they are at present. 1t
1,leans intolerable overcrowding and
absolute lack of transit facilities in
many parts Of the city.
Judging by Mr.. Smiths past per-
formances, it means a seven or an
eight cent fare, for it was his tran
sit commissioners, Lewis Nixon and
John H. Delaney, who advocated q
higher fare and who while in Of
1ice permitted transfer ravocations
which put sever-cent fare in effect
on some routes.
1t Is not surprising that Mr.. Smith
eyades the transit issue, while Gov
ernor Miller insists upon his meet
ing it. Mr.. Smith knows that his
Tammanytcolleague Mr.. Hylan, will
seek to control transit if Tammany
wins the election. And he knows as
we'll as any man living how Mr..
Hylan has blocked ali progress in
subway construction and how little
he understands the problem.
II the citizens Of New York want
new subways and a consolidated sys-
tenn with single five-cent fare they
will vote for Mr.. Miller. If they
want Tammany control e the SUBJ
way system and the system admins
tered as the bus lines have been adj
ministered they will vote for Mr..
Smith.

There have been waves of hazing and
misconduct by midshipmen at the Naval
Academy in almost every administra-
tion since the school was established
by George Bancroft in 1s45. II is man
ifest that the superintendent and Of
ticers can alone handle such cases. If
they are sustained discipline will sur
vive. IF they are not sustained dis
cipline will be shattered.
From the beginning, however, poll
tics and politicians have intervened
to hamper the superintendent and null
'lify his constant effort to maintain a
high standard Of scholarship and con-
duct. Forty years ago the historian
declares:
"There were the politicians, pure
and simple, who knew little and cared
less about naval education but who
regarded the Naval Academy as fur
nishing many places wherewith to
repay constituents for value re-
ceived."
Rear Admiral c. r. P. Rodgers, who
was superintendent in 1876, fought a
battle for the Naval Academy and the
navy when he insisted that the super
intendent should be trusted and re-
spected In all disciplinary and educa-
tional matters and that politics and
influence" should not control at An
napolis. Fortunately the Secretary Of
the Navy at that time stood by the
admiral and declared that s'the super
intendent and the academic board vii!

the Navy Department to decide" il.

studies. But. the victory was only tenn
porary. Politics, like truth, "when
crushed to earth will rise again. and

the Naval Academy, declares:

New York.
In 1912 Mr.. Chandler carried the
18th District as a Progressive can
didate. He defeated a Republican as
well as Democratic opponent, and
was the only Progressive in the state
to hang UP that record. Two years
later he ran as Republican, and he
has been the Republican nominee at
every election since. He lost his seat
very unexpectedly in 1913, but re-
gained it in 1920. He is Congress
man who contributes something
worth while to the community, and
deserves reelection on his admirable
record.

Canada's Minister to America

So many are the ties that bind the
United States and Canada that the
decision Of the British government
in 1920 that Canada was to conduct
her relations with this country di-
rectly through her own representa-
tive in Washington was hailed as q
logical and sensible move.
According to this decision the
Canadian representative was to have
the rank Of minister and was 20
serve as charge d'affaircs Of the
British Embassy in Washington dur
ing the absence Of the British AM
bassador. Canada, therefore. was to
be practically independent of Great
Britain in her relations with this
country, and was to take her place
as sister republic on the same
diplomatic footing as other nations.
To carry out. this decision, of
course, meant a radical departure IN
the conduct of Britain's foreign af-
fairs. Before 1920 the British Am
bassador was the representative of
Canada and Australia as well as Of
England. TO permit Canada 70 send
y minister to the United States,
therefore, would establish the prec-
edent of Independent representation
for the dominions, ard thus go even
further in recognizing the national
status og these countries than was
done when they were admitted to
membership in the League Of MAJ
lions.

Miss Taylor for Children 5 Judge

/ am not from Missouri but from Illi-H
nois in respect to the fitness of women
to sit OH the bench Of juvenile court.
For many years Miss Mary Bartelme
under the Judge Of the Cook County
Probate Court was public guardian Of
children who needed such guardianship.
In this position she showed such con-
spicuous ability in the care and educa-
tion and training of children that for
the past FIVE or more years she has
been repeatedly reappointed by the sit
ting judges Of the Juvenile Court as
assistant Judge, to hear and determine
the difficult cases Of delinquency among
girls. Seeing woman's efficiency in a
juvenile court is believing in it.
In the New York State law are these
words: @and that as far as practicable
they lchildrenl shall be treated not as
criminals but as children In need Of
aid, encouragement and guidance"
Mary Bartelme showed remarkable
ability to serve children as public
guardian for years before she was
made assistant judge Of the Juvenile
Court. The reward for doing work for
children well was more work to do. So

LITERARY NOTES

Mr.. Humphrey Padden, the novel;
ist, writes best when he Ia sur
rounded by crowd. It Is
his custom to take five or six stenog-
rnphers with him wherever he goes.
and he goes nearly everywhere.
Il Il
Recently an idea came to him
while he was in the Opera House,
and he jotted down the scenario for
his next story with a burnt match
On the shirt-front Of stranger who
sat next him. Three Of his
secretaries then tore the mans shirt
from the man and transcribed The
notes. Mr.. Padden loves to
write sonnets with india ink on the
bald heads of hoboes whom he meets
In jails. He began this many
years ago merely for amusement,
when he was a hobo himself.
But since then these lyrical out
bursts have become immensely valu-
able, and his publishers are now col
lecting hoboes.
There are hundreds Of hoboes cir
culating throughout the world who
do not realize that they are first
editions. Mrs. Eddington
Mowbray is very domestic. :.
She likes to work at home.
The first draft of her play, "Aunt
Cassie's Wen," was penned with her
left hand, while with her right hand
she welded the whip that kept the
Dog churn moving. She
prides herself on her butter.
So absorbed was she in the play
that she was writing that she did
not notice until the plot was outlined
that she had hitched her husband to
the dog churn instead Of the dog.
+. Mr.. Mowbray has always
sympathized with her ambitions, and
she says that he has been great
help to her.

He was quite wild young
fellow when he was young
fellow, and it is hinted that he is
really the protagonist of book Mrs.
Mowbray is now writing. He
told her All. He is like
that. He would. She
is telling it to the World. :.
Even how she married him to make
an Honest Man of him. Reti-
cence is one Of the chief charms of
much current literature.

Reticencc. 1t is used to pad
out the spaces between Revelations.

iations that it takes a lot of Reti-
cence to fill in between them. ;.

The ideas which Doddlesby gives
to his wife he gets from back num-

she sells the essays she writes to
the same magazines. This
is what is known in certain horn
