Without Benefit of Murphy

1t seems incredible that the Mavor
OF New York is willing to ascend the
political ladder Tung by rung, IN
stead Of leaping lightly to the top.
Yet such are the tidings brought to
the city by Commissioner of Ac-
counts Hirshfeld, after conference
with Mr.. Hylan at Atlantic City. It
is the Governorship, not the Presi-
dency, which is The Mayors i'm
mediate objective.
Had Charles Francis Murphy
been among those present at the
conference this would be news, in
deed. But Mr.. Murphy was other
where. And until his consent can be
gained Mr.. Hylan will not become
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor.
There are many reasons to be-
lieve that Mr.. Murphy will withhold
his consent. Mr. Hylan has granted
him, In the way of patronage. all

The commissionerships are all in
safe Tammany hands Philip Dona-
hue, Mr.. Murphy's golf companion
has job on the Board Of Water
Supply that pays $4,000 a wear.
And before long there may be more
reservoir sites to purchase.
Mr.. Hylan could not do nearly 80

as he can do as Mayor. The boss
was SO i'll pleased with Dix, his first
Governor, that he refused him re-
nomination. He had his second Gov
ernor, Sulzer, inpeached and re-
moved because Of his failure to de-
liver. Albany is far from Four
teenth Street for Murphy. The
City Hall is right under his eve.
Mr.. Hirshfeld and Mr.. Hylan NAV
propose, but Mr., Murphy will dis
pose. Until the news of the Mayors
selection as the candidate for Gov
ernor comes from Tammany Hall it
is not Of particular Importance.

OF the West Indies, and the Canal

United States it would prevent a sortie
from Honduras or the Greater AntilIes
If the British, French and Dutch
West Indies ever annex themselves 70
the United States, which is more than
mere possibility, they will form the
regional outposts of the Canal Zone
In that event the importance Of Old
Providence would hardly be dimin-

the shortest lanes between continental

the Bahamas, the Windward Passage

IA United states Senator has sent cam

Time was, when a Senator needed
your vote,
He either would pay you call
Or ask you, by means of kind

To his rally in Oddfellows
Hall.
And if you believed that he wasn't

That the mighty electorate

About your own business you cal

And left his petition UNDECIDED.
But now, with the radio clamped
to your ear
AS you sit in your parlor at
night,
Expecting that soon you are
destined to hear
The news. sent by rounds, from
the fight,
A voice says: My friends, as
you're doubtless aware,
My course is answering and
firm
l have served you six years, and
it is nothing but fair
That you give me at least one
more term.
You never can tell, as you eager

To the tidings that nightly are
loosed,
If the message conveyed by the
radio spark
Is a song or a candidate

Whoever is running for Office to-
day
Can sit meath the Capitols
dome,
And, under false pretense, can
basely convey
His speech to your lowly
matched home.
You hope for some jazz, or a
market report,
But it's likely the thing you
will get
Is the promise Of Senator Some

There is no reason why college

more than lucrative profession-it

There Is no economic peril to

one will complain. Moreover, if Ger

can better pay her reparation debt.
But though there is no economic
peril in the compact there is grave
political peril. Since Russia broke
faith with her allies, abandoning
them when the fighting was heavy,
and since Germany surrendered to
avoid invasion, the two nations have
been the moral outcasts of Europe.
They are fit copartners in an ALI
ancs of hatreds. The sinister mo-
tives and influences urging them to
ally themselves have long been plain
to everybody. At last they deem it
safe to throw off their masks and
openly join in brotherhood of out
lawry. This is what makes the com
pact blackly significant.
Both rage against world order.
Both arc enemies Of peace. Each
for its own reasons would nullify
the adjudication of Versailles. To-
gether, a solid block of 200,000,00O
people, they possess great potential

Germany was pacific and only mill

spurious liberalism.
No one will accuse the leaders of
the Western nations of over
suspicion or lack of magnanimity.
On the contrary, they have been so
credulous as to invite their defeated
opponents TO common council

see. They might have known.
