The Unorganized Public.
One Who Agrees With Borah That II
.s, is Also Mlsrepresented.


To THE New YORK HERALD: Some OF
your correspondents arc greatly inter-
ested In the labor question and above
oil in the attitude of political leaders
toward the labor vote, and the matter
is one that the whole public should con-
slider
That organized labor sttains It's Oh
joct by subjecting the public to All sorts
of inconvenience is. perfectly true. It's
leaders believe that IL labor beats the
public strongly enough the peoples cries
OF suffering will frighten the railroad
companies. the ccal companies or the
mill owners and will cause them to yield
to labor's demands. This belief has so
often proved true that we have strikes,
brutal attacks on people who wish TO
work and destruction Of property which.
I'm the case OF derailing trains. has
caused loss OF life. An odd thing about
this, Is that the public endures without
remonstrance the sufferings that labor
inhicts on It. IL Is much more likely to
blame the railroads. the coal operators
or their officials than it is to blhne the
strikers
The other day Mr.. Borah was quoted
in another connection as saying that the
American people were without represen-
elect do not represent the people but
rather the minority that makes the most
noise.
The great public grumbles more or
less vaguely. and feels indignant at such
outrages as the Herrin massacre and
the stopping or the dorailing OF trains
by which women and children are put in
danger and sometimes lose their lives.
But the public quickly forgets what
has happened and when election time
comes it votes the regular ticket. IL in
some way tho peoplcNcould he orga nized
and IL they could secure leaders who
were noisy speochmalscrs who would
effectively threaten representatives in
Congress with loss or gain OF votes,
something might be done. but so long as
the protests against the course OF organ
izcd labor consist OF few newspaper
letters at occasional intervals nothing
will happen.
A large proportion OF our representa-
tives IN Congress Yell To the persuasion,
threats or abuse of something like 4 per
cent OF the population OF these United
States and ignore the wishes of the
other 96 per cent. Really the matter
is worse than this, since this per cent.

sanized labor is led by the nose by a
very small number, of people, perhaps
not more than fifty or one hundred ind-
viduals. leaders chosen by organized
labor to manage its affairs and paid
high wages for doing so. Many OF these
leaders suppose are sincere, earnest
and altogether worthy people. but many
others feel that II is only by keeping
matters stirred up that they can con.

active and useful to them and SO should

The Hunters Moon.

Behold in bright October's moon
The red mans form appear,
A sheaf Of arrows on his back,
Prepared to hunt the deer;
For once year his spirit roams
The old Mohican trail.
As when he was the sovereign lord
OF Sleepy Hollow's vale.
When over haunted wood and wold
And village roof and spire
The hunters moon arising floods
The world with silver fire,
Along the dark Pocantico
Beneath the birchen boughs
a little troop of phantom deer
Comes noiselessly TO browse.
Where on the winding woodland ways
Bestrewn with fallen leaves
The moon batek tapestry
or black and silver weaves.
Swift feet in stealhy moccasins
The dusky coverts thread.
The shadow by the brier bush
becomes a feathered head l.,
The magic Of the hunters moon
The moon of mystery
Is great in all that fair domain
:, Beside the Tappan Zee.
Come. watch with me and YOU will sc
The hunter with his bow,
Pursue the deer October nights
BY the Pocantico.

Subways Are Preferred.
Questions Raised by the Shifting o

To TIE New YORK HERALD: There Is

people prefer to walk downstairs on

they they must walk upstairs for exit.
The elevated lines in congested down

least be made TO remedy this. 1t seems

By W. }. HENDERSON.

Benjamno Ggli. one of the principal
and favoritc tenors or The Metropolitan
Opera House, gave concert yesterday
afternoon in Carnegie Hail. He had
the assistance OF Miss Clara Decks, So
Irano, who had already been heard here
in recital and had made a pleasing Inn
preston. Mr.. Gigli sang airs from
Cilea's "Arlesianna," lie Roi d'Ys" and
"Gioconda," as we'll as some songs.
Miss Decks was heard in an air from
"Iphigenie en- Taurlde' and songs.
When the distinguished tenor left this
country for much needed rost in Eu-
rope he was not we'll. At his last ap-
pearance--a concert in the same hall
last Maybe was suffering from rheu-
matism so that ne had to be carried
into the building. An apology for his
unrcmantio locomotion was made by the
faithful William J. Guard, but he sang
well. Yesterday II was evident that the
tenors pedestrian apparatus had re-
turned 10 normalcy. His voice had all of
its familiar beauty, which is great, and
his singing its accustomed ardor
Those who cherish the kindest feelings
toward MI Gigli will wish that his ardor
would not tempt him to try to make his
tones bigger than nature intended them
to be. That way lies destruction. and
operate history. even that OF this town,
contains scores of warning pages. But
the temptation TO evoke excited demon
strations by the rude process OF produc-
ing loud sounds seems usually beyond
the power OF singers to resist.
Miss Decks is the fortunate possessor
of voice of rare beauty and technic
much more finished than that usually
exhibited by new aspirants for lyric
honors. Possibly in the course of time
she will learn how to impart more
vitality to her singing, which is now
somewhat cold.

Autumnal Eccentricities.

In Lehighton, Pennsylvania, fruit
tree in CHARLES BossARD's back yard,
after delivering bumper crop of
pears in the season when pears were
due, has now turned its attention to
apples, with which fruit its branches
are now well loaded. To any doubt
ing Thomases from out Missouri way
Mr.. BossARD extends an offer to show
them whenever they so desire.
Down in south Jersey cherry, apple
and pear trees are out in a second
blossoming, some of them presenting
the interesting spectacle of bearing
blooms and mature fruit at the same
time.
In Ottawa, Montour county, Penn
sylvania, Betty, white Leghorn hen,
has just won the world egg laying
championship by delivering 107 eggs
in 107, consecutive days.
In Delaware they are gathering a
bumper crop of chestnuts, which if
true is interesting because theoreti-
cally all the chestnut trees in the
Eastern States have been killed by
the blight.
On September 2S they had tenn
perature of 10 or II degrees below
freezing in south New Jersey, and
on the same day Lake Harmony,
Pennsylvania, was covered with a
coat of half inch ice. On October 2
the temperature in Philadelphia
ranged from sc degrees, at the COR
ner Of Ninth and Chestnut streets,
to 1O4 degrees at the Abingdon police
station. Here in New York the
Weather Bureau delivered us the hot
test October known in fifty years.
Then we come to the drought. The
Susquehanna is at the lowest stage
il has reached in thirty years. The
Schuylkill in places is reduced to iso-
lated pools in the river bed, here and
there connected by trickling threads
OF running water. In New Jersey.
Delaware. and Pennsylvania wells and
small streams are running dry, and
farmers are hauling water for miles
to keep their live stock from perish
ing Of thirst; factories are threatened
with enforced shutting down; town
water supplies. are running short,
pastures and hay crops are parching
in the fields, apples are falling
prematurely from the trees, the plant
ing of winter wheat and rye is being
held up, the late truck crops, espe-
cially celery. are by way of being
ruined by the drought. And so it
goes through lengthenng list OF
troubles.
All this is deplorable, but there is
mitigating circumstance. Thanks
to almost superabundance of rain
fall in most regions here in the East
last summer and last spring, all the
earlier crops we're larger and Of bet
ter quality than they have been in
years.

The return of YvErTE GUILBERT to
Paris marks the first tendency toward
homeward fight of the distin-
guished artistic refugees who have
been quartered here since the war
began. Nine. GULBERT came to New
York after one year of work in the
hospitals of Paris and set out TO
teach branches of an art which She
so well understands. OF course, what
has made her unique in the world of
art could never be impaired to an
other. The Guilbert genius was quite
incompatible. 1t is easier to con-
ceive of a \second Patti or another
Rachel than it is to picture reincar-
nation of the unapproachable YvETTE.
Diction, action and other details of
her art which do not demand the
flame of her personal genius might
alone have been taught to others.
But she is back now on the banks
of the Seine. Any land she leaves is
the poorer by her absence. Other
artistic immigrants show no dispo-
sition to return and have apparently
adopted the United States as per-
manent home. MARcELLA SEMBRICH
is now active as teacher Of the art
she so brilliantly illustrated in her
years on the stage. Students Of the
violin need no longer journey to
Petrograd for the services of the ia
nous LEOPOLD AUER, for he. is now a
resident of this city. JOSEF HoFMANN
starts on his tours of the world now
from his country home in Southern
State. ERNEsTINE ScHUMANN-HEINK
rests from her artistic labors among
her Western hills. Only last week
EFREM ZIMBALIsT left his Lares and
Penates in East Seventy street
to begin a tour of Europe. VIcToG
MAUREI, famed as barytone in Milan
as well as in Paris, has been living in
New York for some years.
The time has thus passed when It
was really commercial disadvan-
! tage for a musical celebrity to dwell
permanently in these United States.
The days of such artistic snobbish-
ness are fortunately thing of the
preiudiced past. No longer do Amer
lean singers sit up all night to catch
| the first boat after the close of the
opera season that they may depart
with the foreign members lest it be
thought that they are native prod
ucts. None then dared risk the loss
of the old time European glamour.
1t was halo once.
Nowadays no artist, even of the
foreign companies that sing in opera,
fears the loss of professional prestige
by living in this country. On the
contrary those who have tasted the
pleasures of existence here are slow
to depart. II it were merely matter
of personal preference most of them
would elect always to remain here.

'Now the power companies have
been asking for the privilege to de-

of these power sites. or only small
part OF them. We own enough to hold

Governor MILLER, on the other
hand, does not submit that Governor
SMITH and Governor SMITH's admin

Governor MILLER has known how
to do, and has done, for the public
what Governor SMITH, for whatever
reason, did not do for the public.

Americas False Position.

AS was to be expected, the foreign
ship lines which run to this country
will appeal to our courts against the
order that they must not bring intox-
icating liquors-whether cargo or
ship stores, whether loose or locked
and sealed-within the three mile
limits of the United States and it's
possessions.
1t will be fortunate thing for this
oountry's reputation if the courts find
| il in their wisdom to declare what
| is obvious: that the Prohibition
Amendment was never intended to
bring about such situation as that
which now exists; never intended to
infringe upon the freedom of inter-
national commerce.
If a remedy should not be found
for the evil created by the Daugherty
opinion the United States will stand
in poor light. Other peoples whose
trade is disturbed will not go into
the technicalities of the matter. They
will not see that the mischief may
have resulted from the faulty draft
ing of law, of a court decision. or
of an officials opinion. They will
see only that the United States,
breaking through usage which does
so much to promote the comfy of
the world, has harassed the honest
shipping of friendly nations.
And for what? Two motives will
be ascribed to us. One is that the
United States. in whose own territory
the Eighteenth Amendment and the
prohibition laws of the nation and
the States are violated and scorned.
is trying to give the rest of the world
dose of the very medicine which
millions of its own people refuse.
The other motive which the world
will ascribe to us is sharp practice.
1t will say that we are putting the
prohibition screws on foreign ship
ping in order to make our own dry
ships profitable.
This country cannot afford, for the
sake of its own self-respect, to be
suspected of either hypocrisy or
greed. 1t cannot afford, for the sake
of the friendships we have abroad,
to affront nations that do not take
the view that is reflected in cur
prohibition laws.
This country cannot afford, for the
sake of its own important part in the
peace of the world, to commit this
utterly unnecessary act of injustice.
1t cannot afford needlessly to arouse
the dislike of its friends in the outer
world.
The execution OF the order which
followed the Daugherty opinion viii
do no good. It will not prevent boot
logging, for the ships at which il
strikes are not violators of our laws
1t will not help our own shipping, for
/ the foreign vessels will be able, not
without delay and expense to load
and unload their liquor supplies out
side our waters.
/ The position of the United States
at this moment in its purpose to in
| terfere with the customs Of foreign
shipping is wrong. It is so wrong
/ that il it were not for the seriousness
of what it may lead to il would be
ridiculous.

The Gulf Streams Course.
Willis L. Moore Denies II Affects
Europe's Climate.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: In THE
New Air World a book soon to be
issued from the press of Little, Brown &
&C., l expose the busaboo OF the Gulf
Stream. Several articles have recently
appeared in the press predicting dire
consequences TO the climate of Europe
as the result of the shifting OF the
Gulf. Stream by the narrowing of the
channel between Key West and Cuba,
and Professor Berget. director of the
Institute of Oceanography founded by
the late Prince OF Monaco. is reported
to predict that the climate of France
and England will be so changed that
these countries will not be able to raise
food crops.
But the fact is that there is no dis
tortion whatever of the isothermal lines
as they cross the Gulf Stream in any
region north of Bermuda. The climate
of Europe is largely controlled by the
great Atlantici Ocean. not by this small
river of warm water, which broadens
out and loses IFS identity long before
the coast of Europe is reached, and
whose influence is soon dissipated in the
vast expanse ofsocean air.. -.
Water has a greater capacity for heat
than almost any other substance. 1t
requires ten times the quantity of heat
to raise pound of water one degree
that It does a pound of iron. The
oceans therefore store up vast quanti-
ties OF the heat OF the. sun and dis
tribute it northward and ndsssouthward
from the equator. tgr~s1
The extensive eddyiille circplation OF
the north Atlantic Ocean seffs cur
rents northward along the coast OF tina
United States, which set eastward at
latitude 40 degrees. A part or these
currents reach the coast of Snain and
then turn south. The greater part
spread out in midocean and move north
east. bathing the coasts of Iceland. OF
Norway and of tho British Islands
They still retain some of the heat
that they absorbed from a tropical sun,
and they therefore give to the coasts
that they reach a higher temperature
than these lands would have IL the
ocean waters were moving from the
north or than they would have if there
were no currents at all. The Gulf
Stream mingles with these northeast
currents but adds little 10 their tenn
perature, for the general ocean circu-
Iatiqn would produce practically the
same effects if there were no Gulf
Stream. WILLIS L. MOORE, -
