situation into the courts through
bankruptcy proceedings. 1t will en-
able the Transit Commission to go
ahead with the extension and further
unjication Of the system 1t proves
that the operating companies can be
induced to get together in the inter
ests of the public in at least one mat
ter, and gives rise to new hope for
the solution of the whole problem.
Bankruptcy proceedings would
have made necessary the separation
of the lnterborough and the Man
haitian, with disastrous results to
both as well as to the public, In
New York City few single transit
lines can successfully operate. Each
line is an integral and necessary
part of the whole system. A five
cent fare is all that the public is
willing to pay directly, although poo-
pie are now paying in taxes two or
three cents more ride. They have
right to do this if they choose,
and inasmuch as they do SO choose
the Transit Commission is Loyalty
working to obey their mandate.
Now that the threat of bankruptcy
is averted, the only considerable bar
rier to the introduction of the Tran
sit Commission's plan is that set up
by Mr.. Hylan, the Board Of Estimate
and the Corporation Counsel. Even
tually this will be removed. The
public will not endure obstruction
much longer. Mr.. Hylan and his as
sociates must display & spirit of
compromise at least equal to that
manifested by the Interborough and
the Manhattan. A year has been
wasted-a year badly needed for the
beginning of new construction and
for the requirement of better equip
ment. Another year must not be
wasted.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-08
A Lame Excuse

The fear expressed by some btu
minous operators that if they met
the miners in conference they would
expose themselves to prosecution
may be folded away. The season is
an open one for conferences. In a
statement explaining that both op-
orators and miners are still under
indictment for offenses alleged to
have been committed in 1920 the At
torney General points out that there
has been no intimation that new
charges would be brought against
them if they enter a conference now.
A government which has repeat
edly urged miners and operators to
get together may be acquitted of any
dark design to bring action against
them for following the governments
advice. Such subtle trickery is
scarcely conceivable. Nor would the
miners, who were indicted at the
same time as the operators, be anx-
ious to enter into a conference which
they knew would expose them to
further penalties. The operators
fears obviously have been ill founded.
If, however, the Attorney Gen

within the Athenaum's door; no skirt

that not only citizens and their wives
could go there without fear Of re-

fairs did much to sanctify to popular

The Awakening

To convince the Mayor that the
talk of crime wave was merely in
sidious propaganda by the baleful
"interests" was an easy and pleas
ant task. The Police Commissioner
applied himself to it with that native
eloquence which is so beguiling at a
banquet board. Mr.. Hylan is will
ing to believe anything evil of the
"interests," Mr.. Enright is unwill-
ing to believe anything derogatory
to himself.
But Governor Miller is, in a man
ner of speaking, something else
again. His training has taught him
to weigh evidence and sift out facts.
He rudely turns cold ear to pleas
in extenuation and examines alibis
with painful attention.
Furthermore, the Governor hap
pens to be clothed with power to di-
vorce inefficient police commission
ers from the duties which they have
been failing to discharge. There
fore, when the Governor intimatos
that the riot of crime in New York
must be put down, and adds that If
I it isn't put down somebody is going
to be held responsible, the native hue
of Mr.. Enright's resolution becomes
sicklied over with the pale cast of
thought.
He begins to suspect that the Gov
ernor is quite capable of removing
him if the shootings and robberies
continue. Inasmuch as removal
would be very distasteful to him, he
stops issuing denials and goes to
work.
True, he goes to work clumsily.
He increases the force six hundred
men by restoring the old, unpopular
nine platoon system. But the point
is that there are signs Of life. The
Tribune will, of course, be glad to
see Mr.. Enright put down crime if
he can. 1t makes no difference how
the public safety is assured, or by
whom, so long as it is assured. If
he can do it, all right. If he cannot,
somebody else must.
Incidentally, The Tribune rejoices
that other newspapers of this city
are now awakening to the fact that
to borrow the Governors phrase
New York is not safe place to live
in. 1t made that contention more
than year ago, reaching this con-
clusion after prolonged investigation
and upon satisfying evidence Of the
complete breakdown Of the police
force. But it fought not against
Hylan or Enright, but for New
York. So it welcomes the help of
every other newspaper in the city,
even those which advocated the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hylan and which have
consistently accepted Mr.. Enright's
avowal that there is really no crime
in New York and that charges to the
contrary were born of partisan mo-
| tlves.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-08
Divorce for Desertion

From "Enoch Arden" to "Mr. PIN
Passes By" not to mention Ulysses
and Penelope, imaginations have
dwelt on the problem of the husband
returning after many years to
wife who believed him dead. This.
however, is situation which it is
easier to solve in literature than to
face in real life. The police courts
commonly show the wanderer should
not have returned.
Tennyson solved the problem
charmingly in verse, but human be-
lngs are not so easily handled. 1t
has become necessary to devise a
statute to determine the marital
rights of the long-lost husband and
the long-neglected wife. The act
just signed by Governor Miller
makes absence for five years a
ground for divorce. Proof of con-
scientious search to ascertain the
facts will enable the deserted part
ner to file petition. The court NAV
then publish notice, and after
twenty days, provided nothing is
heard from the missing partner, the
divorce may be granted.
This is important as a new ground
for divorce in New York State,
which has hitherto recognized only
one cause for such action. But now
victims of deserters need no longer
go to Reno or Paris. The domestic
relations act theoretically compels
the return of deserting husbands
when within the limits of the state.
but affords no help in cases where
the deserter departs for parts un-
known.
The new law eases the lot of the

AS to Normalcy in Art

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Dean Armitage, doughty cham
pion of powerful majority, sings
with praiseworthy simplicity the song
of Art, which he would seem to an
preciate. But why he should gratui-
tously air his ignorance on another
though kindred, subject, the Cubists
and Post-Impressionists, by no means
so dead as he AYERS, we'll may wonder
They are not all Sensations seeking
though they may be "cultlike," what
ever that is. They do not wish to pre-
vent anybody's contentment in ebserv-
ing the "depiction of nature; they
have never aimed to "depict nature,
nor do they attempt to Improve upon
Gods handiwork." Why not find out
something about their aims?
And who decides what is normalcy in
art anyhow? Let us get back tc
normalcy in science-those brave days
before an@sthesia-or form societies
for the suppression of logarithms. Why
pick on art? The eyes of the fore
fathers must be dim, perhaps because
they are dead, and those of the living
are sometimes glass: pure, brilliant
beautiful, but quite blind.

There was the Swiss family Of bell
ringers, noted for the skill with which
melody was extorted from clusters OF
sleigh bells and from the throat of a
very young man who afterward OBJ
tanned wider fame as Sol Smith Rus
SELL 1t was here, too, that the
Hutchinson family warbled their bal
lads, and Blind Tom astounded the
most learned connoisseurs by his aural
musical gift. There were gift concerts
also with numbered programs emitting
few fortunate holders to prizes run
ming from set Of furniture, con-
spicuously displayed on the stage, to a
box of sardines and a lemon. And
from these simple amusements sprang
the taste that eventually revealed
itself in the crowded audiences of
Philharmonic concerts
Coincident with this growth we note
the genesis of literary cravings in the
Mercantile Library and also in the as
semblies of societies that discussed
est. Elmo" and "The Hidden Hand
and IN later years were profoundly Y
stirred by Henry Ward Beecher's
novel "Norwood,' for which THE
Ledger" was known to have paid him
$4,000. 1t is probable that this library
did more to circulate the works of
Oliver Optic than any other similar in
stitution in the land
There was literary vitality also in
the hall Of assembly above the library,
for it was there that I heard Paul du
Chaillu lecture on the Pygmies many
years before they were "discovered"
by Stanley, and it was from the same
stage that Artemus Ward gave his fare

trip to England from which he never

Building Contractors Costs
G Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of April you
carry an editorial entitled 'Doctored'
Building Bills" I know nothing re-
garding the charges made for labor by
the various associations named in the
article, but do feel that investigation
will show that the cost to the con-
tractor is considerably higher than the
bare amount paid to the men. 1t may
we'll be that the rates noted by you
show increases out of proportion to
the cost, but it should be understood
that there are other items besidss
profit that enter into the making of
these schedules.
You have not taken into considera-
tion the fact that the employer is COM
PEELED to provide workmens compensa-
tion insurance aor his men, and that
he must also carry public liability in
surance to cover injuries to the pub
lie and to the employees of other con-
tractors on the same job.
There is one building trade in this
city in which tho combination of the
mutual rates for compensation and
public liability is in tho neighborhod I'd
OF one-third Of the amount of the pay
roll. You must also realize that these
men often work with expensive tools
and equipment. The loss of small
tools, due to carelessness, often makes
decided increase in the cost Of the
work.
There are also other items Of re-
placement, repairs and depreciation of
plant and equipment, and the trans
portation to and from the job. To
these must be added the Office overhead
! and supervision expense. Therefore

Passing of the Brooklyn Athenaeun By James L. Ford

Tidings Of the sale of that ancient
landmark the Brooklyn Athenaum,
founded in 1848 and incorporated four
years later by the oldest corporation
now in existence in New York State,
awakened in my mind a food of gracious
memories. The building will probably
be replaced by an apartment house.
which, let us hope, will be adorned by
a tablet marking the site of an in
stltution that has housed the seeds of
every one Of the great cultural move
ments that have since transformed
Brooklyn from it's previous purely
eccleslastic estate as the City of
Churches to its present eminence as
the Athens of that portion of Long
Island that lies to the west Of
Patchogue.
1t was in the Athen@um that Pro-
fessor Relley had his school, to which
many pupils were attracted by his
wise policy Of giving everybody prize
at the close of the year; and it is sad
to relate that when he later embarked
in business as Wall Street broker he
tried to acquire too big prize for
himself and landed in the Tombs. 1t
was in this school that we learned-I
should say made feint of studying
French under the tuition of an ex-
He'd Polish noble whom we called "pro-
fessor" until he happened to see the
title over the door Of barber shop and
arrived in state of rage to forbid its
further application to himself
On the floor above our school was
hall Of assemblage, where Brooklynites
obtained the rudiments of musical taste
from entertainments given by many
noteworthy aggregations Of talent
