A Cruel and Unusual Threat

Let judges beware the day of
wrath. Let them consider well the
consequences Of their every deci-
sion. Let them, in short, tremblc
on their benches. Mayor Hylan has
threatened to recall them.
True, the threat has reservations.
He will not recall them if they de-
eide transit matters as he would
have them decided. He will not re-
call them if, clear up to the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
they stand deferentially aside and
permit him to manage the traction
situation in New York. And he will
not recall them until he can secure
the passage Of a constitutional
amendment by the Legislature and
referendum on it at a general
election providing for their recall.
and can initiate and carry the recall
at the polls. Still, it is terrific
threat.
Mr.. Hylan was moved thus to in
tlmldate the judiciary by his failure
to get the courts to set aside the
law creating the traction commits
sion. He made it on the eve of
pilgrimage to Albany, where he will
seek to persuade the Legislature to
amend the law so as to give him the
management of transit matters. He
was deeply in earnest about it. Wit
ness what he said:
I'VE are going to fight them
the traction crowd all the way to
the United States Supreme Court
Then if we don't get what we want
we may advocate the referendum
and the recall of Judges"
These are bitter words. The fact
that they appear to flow from the
depths of a divine despair makes
them none the less dreadful. PEOPLE
who have depended upon the courts
10 secure Justlce--who believe that
the powers granted to the courts
by the Constitution were lust and
reasonable-lnay we'll become ner-
vous. Suppose that the courts wero
suddenly swept away. Suppos.
that because they brazenly upheld
a perfectly valid law judges were
sent scurrying from their seats into
oblivion. Where, then, could the
people, long accustomed to seek for
justice, turn?
However, there is still hone
Writing the recall into the Consti-
tuition will require time, and time
now and then makes changes even
IN the occupant of a Mayors chair
The Supreme Court will mass ON
the transit law long before such a
change in the law of the land can be
brought about. Meanwhile Mr.. Hv-
Ian will be in much the same nos;-
ton as was Mr.. Glendower, who
called spirits from the vastv deem
only to discover to his modification
and chagrin that they wouldn't
come.

Beecher on Working Hours
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One summer evening in 1878
heard Henry Ward Beecher preach
on the wise use of time He said
Eight hours for labor, eight hours for
reading recreation and rest, and eight
hours for sleep. If, however, mans
work is extra hazardous and he is
shut away from the sunlight, four or
live hours should be his hours of
labor per day"
IN view of the miners wish for five
days of six hours each, this sympathe
tic championship of the miner by
Beecher over forty years ago is not
to be ignored.

Sir: In your Sunday issue You pub

Miss Brown perhaps went to France

seven cents per French franc, and cx-
pected to get for it 25 cents worth
Of food. I spent three months in
France last year and my expenses were
half OF what it would have cost me in

Since Miss Brown wrote from Eng

Your hair CLEANS bright there where
