AT the Grand Opera House.
An Evenings Outing for Six at a
Cost OF Less Than $5.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
article ON the past glories of the Grand
Opera House, Twenty-third street and
Bighth avenue. brought back memories
of thrty-three years ago. when two
young men friends and myself invited
out our best girls-mine being my wife
now; shortly afterward / married her
and we lived happily ever afterward'
We purchased six fifty cent orchestra
seats, and after the show adjourned to
an oyster house in Twenty-third street
east OF Eighth avenue, where we en-
joyed oysters and the men. feeling devil
ish, had glass Of Basss ale each. Those
were indeed tho happy days and nights.
when 1t did not cost fortune to enter
tain your girl at or after the theatre.
Imagine the present day young people
enjoying such night-six people at a
total cost OF less than $5. and perfect
nights enjoyment Well. at least they
cannot take our pleasant memories OF
bygone days from US. IN DREAM.

st. Patrick's Day.

ST. Patrick's Day comes this year
to find the saints land filled with
opposites. Hope and fear, triumph
and disappointment, opportunity and
danger, all are mingled in Ireland
although happily the desirable things
seem uppermost.
If st. PATRICK is looking down
upon his people he sees them in pos
session of a measure of freedom
larger than the Irish statesmen Of a
preceding generation dreamed OF OBJ
tanning. He sees sane, brave and
able men like GRIFFITH and COLLINS
striving to build the Free State on
the broad lines drawn in the London
Treaty.
And yet he sees a division, not
only between the south and the
north, where the division is ancient,
racial and religious, but among the
people whose unity, now that their
freedom is assured, should be com,
plete. He sees the former leader,
DE VALERA, permitting his disappoint-
ment to override his patriotism and
sense in urging Ireland on into the
bog Of impossibility.
The old saying is that Con is good
to the Irish. If He will be good to
them for the next three months, un
til the people of the south of ireland
have had chance to vote on the ac'
ceptance or rejection Of the treaty
they will have cause to be more than
usually grateful.

The Flower Show.

The benevolent purposes which are
served by the annual Flower Show
are but incidents of the exhibition
of what the growers have accom-
plished during the months that have
passed since the last previous dis
play OF their skill and industry.
Whatever the ancillary splendors OF
these annual spectacles may be, IL
IS the development OF the beauty OF
the flowers that is really important.
Ii Is with this too that the visitors
are chiefly concerned, whatever pleas.
ure they may find in the social or
other diversions provided.
Such examples of the skill OF the
growers OF fine flowers as this ex-
hibition reveals cannot fail to be q
source OF delight to all who have the
opportunity to sec them. Not all
lovers Of flowers may possess such
rare blossoms, but all may take
pleasure in contemplation of the
blooms There are awards for the
perfection OF the flower as well as
for skill in arrangement Every
phase OF the horticultural art is re
hected by the specimens that appear
as nature and the gardeners brought
them into the world, either to delight
independently by their own beauty
or to serve as a garniture to the
service OF the table.
Possibly It is through the classes
OF the commercial growers that the
public at large will be most bene
fted. The flowers that succeed IN
winning the prizes offered in these
classes viii ultimately be within the
reach OF every owner of a garden. So
he or she can feel personal inter
est in the exhibit just as keen as

FRIDAY. MARCH II, 1922.
The Bonus Challenge to the
President.

President HARDING is due to arrive
In Washington Sunday. He Will
not get back too soon. The success
of his Administration hangs in the
balance. The attitude of the Repub-
lican majority in the House on the
bonus imperils Republican control
and without Republican control the
outworking of the Harding Admins
tration is blocked.
The Fordneys and the Mondells are
running amuck. In spite of the pro-
test of the President, in spite of the
protest of Secretary of the Treasury
MELLON, in spite, of the protest Of
Governor HARDING of the Federal Re-
serve Board, in spite Of the protest
of Comptroller OF the Currency
CGIssINGER and in spite Of the fact
that the Republican party is not COM
mitted to the bonus, these politician
statesmen of the Republican party
are determined to jam the bonus
through at all hazards.
The President has made his posi-
ton on the bonus clear to the country
and clear to Congress. His position
had thought In it and thought back
of it. 1t rests on solid facts and solid
figures. His position was taken with
an intimate knowledge of the coun-
try's affairs and the country's neces-
stiles. taken with an intimate knowl-
edge of the Governments vast indebt-
edness, its vast annual expenditures,
and of the obligations of the Govern
ment falling due within the next fif-
teen months, something over six
billions of dollars.
Strong men do not yield from posi-
tions so soundly taken; President
HARDING will not yield his position on
the bonus. And yet the Fordneys and
the Mondells, dominant leaders in the
House, in defiance of the President.
are jamming the bonus through.
The attitude of these insistent
bonus raiders of the Treasury has
assumed the proportions OF scandal.
Their attitude to the President is
that of contempt, their attitude to
Secretary of the Treasury MELLON
is that of contempt, their attitude to
Governor HAHpING OF the Federal Re
serve Board and to Comptroller Of
the Currency CRrssINGER is that Of
contempt.
When party insurgency reaches
this stage the President cannot main
tain his control as the head Of his
party unless he meets their challenge
and has II out with them.

The Shamrock.

The orchid needs the jungle heat,
The rose the garden mold.
The violet q shady nook
And moses damp and cold,
The poppy will not bloom without
The kisses of the sun.
The ivy ever green must have
A wall on which TO run.
But there's a plant that hourishes
Alike on land and sea,
In snow or sand or city streets,
or spaces far and free
Though many weary mile from where
The River Shannon flows,
Wherever there's a Celtic heart
The little shamrock grows.

Murdered Policemen.

Murdered Policemen.
PatrolmaI JOHN II. McMArL of the
New York city police force was shot
and killed Wednesday while on duty
in Brooklyn. He had been a police
man seven years and had kept a
spotless record in the performance
Of his duty. He was married, the
father Of two daughters. He was a
cheerful, helpful citizen; his friends
knew him as Happy JACK" He
was conscientious, able officer of
the law; a sergeant of police de.
scribed him as clean as whistle" "
He was a good citizen, useful guar
dian of the public peace, competent
protector Of the rights of honest citi-
zens. The community cannot have
too many servants of his kind; the
community cannot afford to lose
members like him.
Who was the murderer Of Patrol
man McMAL?
This outstanding man was done to
death by one Tony RABAsovIcH,
who, when he committed the crime,
was fleeing from the home of a
woman whom he had beaten and
whose screams had frightened him
away. His complete outfit consisted
Of four revolvers. one new hunting
knife with a six inch blade, pair Of
handouts, a blackjack and bottle
of choral. Tony RABAsovIcH's rec
ord Is told briefly in these sentences:
'RABAsovIcH is believed by the
police to have served several prison
terms in recent years.
He has two convictions for as
sault and robbery in 1915 and 1917.
receiving suspended sentences in
both cases.
He was known as a bootlegger,
detectives Of the staff of CHARLES H.
MCKINNEY, deputy inspector, having
raided his house in Brooklyn several
weeks ago.
The police are investigating a re-
port that he killed a policeman in
Boston several years ago.
MRS RABAsovIcH said she had
endured threats from her husband
for years and several times had him
arrested for desertion and assault.
~, xx,bn
officer arrived at their home from the
Domestic Relations Court RABAso-
vIcH brandished a revolver and the
officer fled"
The passage in this record which
will receive particular attention is
that in which it is set forth that
RABAsovrCH had been convicted
twice for assault and robbery, and
each time was freed on suspended
sentence. The question which will
spring to the lips of every honest
man and woman is, when justice
had a chance to send this desperate
criminal to prison for the felonies
he had committed, why did it turn
him loose?" That he would commit
other crimes If he had the chance
was foregone conclusion. That he
imperiled the safety and the lives
of law abiding persons was obvious.
That for the good of society he
should have been kept in a cell as
long as the law could keep him in a
cell is to-day convincingly apparent
to everybody, and it should have been
convincingly apparent to everybody
when he was found guilty in court
in 1917, il not in 1916.
Nine New York policemen have
met death in the last fifteen months
at the hands Of persons who should
have been under restraint, most OF
them men recognized as criminals OF
the most depraved character. 1t is a
record of blood which must inspire
every thoughtful citizen to demand
that criminals be curbed and not set
free to menace the honest members
of the population.
