West Point Ferry's Day Of

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your humorous item in
Wednesdays issue relative to a sus-
pension Of ferry service 70 West Point
gave me proof positive Of your wide
circulation. Apparently all our friends
read il. There were some exaggera-
tions In the item and few facts omit
ted, but no one can deny that the few
morning passengers had TO cross the
Hudson in rowboat and that their
good nature led some OF them TO offer
assistance at tho oars.
The trouble on the ferryboat was In
a condenser valve, but il took time to
locate II, causing a tie-up Of several
hours. Unfortunately, the company's
second boat was at Kingston, so 4
United States government rowboat,
kept at West Point for such purposes.
was put to use until the government
launch at West Point was manned and
took up the Garrison's schedule Tor a
few trips.
As this was a most novel occur
renee in tho ferry service between
Garrison and West Point. IL deserved
a place on your front page. Such a
contrast to Memorial Day. when a boat
left each side every twelve minutes
and rarely left an auto waitingl But
excess Of ferry capacity over traific
being the usual situation az this cross
ing on the Hudson. not even tho pro-
moters OF bridge al Bear Mountain
think 10 mention the fact In their dis
cussions on ferry conditions.

the city on the East River which are
not used for wharfage nor essen
tial to industry will have to be di-
verted to recreational purposes.
Only in certain spots can actual
parks be made, but Fairgrounds and
a broad sidewalk with benches along
the river can be put in, thus opening
up new areas to which the people Of
the neighborhood may flock in warm
weather.

sioner Of Health can carry forward

The Higher Crime

Il is seldom that the common
crook feels the lack Of company
manners a detriment in his profes-
sion. He envies the fashionably
dressed and smooth-tongucd thief
his opportunities. but not his tech
nique.
The burglar and the hold-up man
pin faith on force. The entry to the
houses Of the wealthy which is re-
fused them because they sometimes
split their infnitives and wear soiled
linen can be gained in the night time
with a jimmy or diamond glass cut
ter. Once gained the rest is easy.
Il is surprising, therefore, TO find
q couple Of illiterate followers OF
Jesse James thumbing over a book
Of etiquette in order to learn the
manners of polite society. It is, in
q sense, an indication Of progress.
II argues that locks are stronger
and watchmen moro vigilant than
they used to be, else why should the
formerly successful system Of direct
action be abandoned?
Heretofore the Raffles and other
gentlemen burglars have been men
Of birth and education gone wrong.
Hereafter, apparently, there arc to
be self-made Rafles as well as self
made literati.
The public, however, has little TO
fear from them. Culture is a plant
Of slow growth, and sooner or later
a doubled negative or a load of peas
inadvertently ladlcd up on a knife
will betray them and put intended
victims on guard.
New-York tribune., 1922-06-12
Regulating Truck Trafic

Motorists have frequently been
struck with the uneven wearing ca
pacity Of highways and have cor
rectly attributed much Of the dam
age TO trucks. But as trucks cannot
be abolished to suit the whims Of
tourists, injury to the roadbeds must
be accepted as part Of the problem
Of maintaining good roads.
The Bureau Of Public Roads of
the Department Of Agriculture has
been studying road conditions
throughout the country and favors
regulating heavy traffic. Until the
country has system Of highways
with the solid foundations Of the old
Roman roads, indiscriminate truck
ing is certain TO wreak great damage
to certain roadbeds. So varied are
the conditions Of the soil in which
the roads are laid and so uneven is
the wearing capacity Of different
surfaces that regulations are neces-
sary to conform to the peculiarities
Of individual routes. Furthermore,
certain classes Of trucks, which, ow-
ing to their size or driving power,
may be particularly damaging 10
given roads, must be restricted in
the interest Of the road-using public.
As the best means of applying
such restriction the Bureau Of Pub
lie Roads advocates that the high
way officials Of each state exercise
wide discretion and broad powers,
so that traffic can be regulated to
suit conditions as they exist at any
time and in any particular place.
The ultimate solution Of the prob
lem, however, lies in the extension
Of existing road facilities along
routes where there is much truck
ing. Present indications are that
the truck will play an ever greater
role in national transportation. The
logical solution is to build, in due
time, special truck routes, with ade-
quate foundations and proper sur
face, sufficiently wide to permit Of
free passage, so that a single slow
truck will not block the entire road.
In the mean time, however, traffic
regulation is indispensable. While
working hardships on some, il is,
nevertheless, in the interest not only
Of all who use passenger cars but
also Of those who ship by truck.
Good roads are essential alike 10
good motoring and efficient trucking.

American News in Europe

A decided step toward increasing
European knowledge of America is
taken by the veteran Figaro" Of
Paris, in the printing every week Of
a large supplement devoted entirely
to American affairs, and instinct, it
need scarcely be added, with a spirit
Of most cordial friendship. The
whole field Of American interests is
covered, political, commercial. artis-
tic, social and what not, affordine to
European readers a comprehensive
conspectus Of American affairs.
This interesting new departure"
was announced by Robert de Flers,
Of the French Academy. and may be
regarded as one of the benefcent
changes made by the new proprie-
torship Of the famous paper. Found

"We demand says the memoran-
dunn submitted by the Russian So
c.al.Revolutionary party 70 the re-
cent Socialist congress at Berlin,
chat the political prisoners pining
in Bolshevik prisons shall be at once
released"
So far as has been observed the
groups in this country whose men,
hers begin conversations by saying
I'm no Bolshevist. but -" has not
heard Of this memorandum and are
unmoved by its facts. They are too
busy using microscopes to discover
that so-called political prisoners
here have sometimes not secured
their free speech rights to be con-
cerned about the Bolshevist example.
Leuine and Trotzky have spoken
harshly in days past Of the Russian
bourgeoisie. Yet it is not these chiefly
that they fear and hate. Their prin-
cipal animosity is against Socialists.
Socialists have felt the full rigors
Of the Red Terror. The Cheka, the
Bolshevist secret police, which out
does the work Of the Cars
Black Hundred, and is in the main
composed Of the same mercenary
spies. has steadily carried on Its
public and secret assassination.
When the workmen Of Astrakhan
attempted TO hold meetings and
gathered about a church Cor protec-
tlon the Red commander telegraphed
10 Moscow for instructions. They
came in a message of two words,
signed L. Trotzky, saying. "Settle
merc;lessly." The artillery opened
fire and there was a horrible mas
sacre. Practically every person who
in times past was conspicuous in
Russia's struggle for freedom is
dead. or in a dungeon. or in exile.

Fee Fixing and the Open Shop

The American Institute Of Archi-
tccts. in annual meeting at Chicago,
has unanimously passed n resolution
in favor Of the open shop IN the
building trades
Does this imply that the archi-
tects themselves arc getting ready to
swallow the medicine they prescribe
for others? Do they mediate
scrapping Of the rules under which
their institutes nj least suggest
fixation Of fees and a readiness to
throw out Of fellowship any brother
who manifcsts a tendency to work
below the scale? Would they lead
in a movement TO have the members
Of all professions repeal their rates?
Doubtless there are differences be-
tween the wage fixing Of the labor
unions and the fee fixing Of profes-
sional organizations, but it is not al
ways easy to make the unionist see
them.
Hence one Of the difficulties in
getting the open shop campaign
under headway. And hence one Of
the reasons for the repeal Of the
Sherman law and the substitution Of
a statute which shall define with
some particularly what men en-
zaged in a common pursuit may do
and what they may not do.
New-York tribune., 1922-06-12

The foilotrinO is the second article
Of series By Mr.. Taft on SOUiet
Russia, comparing the British aud
American policies:
Russia has made trade agreements
with numerous governments. Some Of
these amount 70 treaties and all Of
them necessarily recognize that the
Soviet government has az lensS a de
faeto existence. They have been made
with practically all OF the countries
surrounding Russia. including. Of
course, the new nations formerly the
Baltic provinces and the Asiatic coun-
tries lying between Russia and India;
and now there has been added the
Rapallo Treaty with Germany. These
agreements have not created any great
amount Of trade, but they have
strengthened the Bolshevist control
within Russia. And the principal rea-
son that the Bolshevists and their
propagandists IN this country are 50
anxious for recognition by the United
States, or some kind OF trade agree
ment which could be exploited as a
quasi recognition, Is that the action Of
no other country in the world would
have so much effect in Russia in en-
abling the Bolshevists to revive and
perhaps perpetuate their destructive
and oppressive sway. Russian propa-
ganda for external consumption has al
tcraated between threats and abuse Of
the United States, on the one hand,
and transparent but insincere cajoling,
on the other; but always TO their sup
porters at home the conquest Of
America by communism has been held
forth as the thing most effective TO
bring about world revolution.
New-York tribune., 1922-06-12

The charge Of counter revolution Is
a screen to cover up the fact that

And climb TO the top.

But an ambitious heart.
Lacking parents 20 cable

He waited on table
And slung around hash.
But he soon saw n chance
To be publicly seen
In a charming romance
On a photoplay screen.
He grabbed az it quickly.
And often you've read
How Fame showered thickly
It's wreaths on his head.

His art took its course.

Up the hill he went racing,
In mastery style,
And now he is facing
