The flow of milk from a good Tog-

the size of the animals, and the milch
goat industry is developing rapidly
in the United States. Therefore 1t is
natural that choice specimens should
sell at fancy figures.
At recent sale held at Delavan,
Wisconsin, offerings from various
herds In California brought high
prices. Purebreds averaged s49S.75,
as against grades at s172. Seventy
animals changed hands for a total
of $24,945. The prices would be con-
sidered fair average for cattle

year. In the following year, through
counsel. he entered a plea of guilty
to a drug selling charge. His SEN
tence was suspended, as he was then
still in the penitentiary.
In his latest encounter with the law
there were five indictments against
him. He was found guilty on all of
them. Under the law he could have
been sentenced to a five year term
on each, a penalty which the prose-
cutting attorney demanded. He es-
capped with three year term In the
House of Correction instead Of the
penitentiary, where the prosecution
pleaded that he should be sent. In
the penitentiary he could not have
been paroled. In the House of Cor
rection he could be. His first appli-
cation for release on parole was re-
fused. Then he appealed to an up
State Judge. who let him loose on
society once more.

Amerscom Medical Association.
Mr.. II. A. Barker. the "bone SETTER"
has been knighted He Is described off,
cially as "a specialist in manipulative
surgery who placed his manual dexter
ity unreservedly at the disposal of all
wounded ex-service men," Though not
a qualified member Of the medical pro-
fession. he enjoyed an extensive and
fashionable practice, and for long was
a cause OF acrimonious controversy. A
physician had his name removed from
the register for administering anmsthet-
les for him. He possesses considerable
manipulative skill for he won the ap-
proval Of some leading surgeons, but
how far the absence Of the regular
training led him to adopt ''manipula-
tive surgery" in cases in which It did
no good or even did positive harm is a
question on which we have no light.
Some time ago an attempt was made
by his influential friends to obtain for
him an honorary medical qualification.
but 1t failed. The rather absurd reason
was given that the fact that he had not
qualification prevented him from ex-
planning his methods to the profession.
We have to go back to the days of
Queen Anne for an instance Of man

knighthood for supposed medical skill.

LONG ISLAND FARMS

Long Island duck farms have had

excess of last years entire and Official

waddlers have been sent to England
this season and quantities have been
shipped to France, Canada and many
of our own States. including California.
England imports them because of the
low price," 1t was explained. "In fact
England has been eating Long Island
duckling for two seasons but never in
such quantities as this year. The low
price of a fowl that Is tenderer than
chicken and that is more economical
cannot but appeal to chefs and house,
wives" said the representative.
Last year the lowest price of duck
at wholesale was % cents pound. The
price has dropped this year to 25 cents
a pound. At retail they are selling at
from 80 to 40 cents pound, which Is
much cheaper than chicken Of the same

Footpaths Are Needed.
Pedestrians and Motorists Both Suf.
fer From Lack Of Them.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
highway would be pleasantly added to
II among the distant converging lines
there was one indicating footpath for
pedestrians. AS 1t is now there are long
stretches Of country roads without a
place for the person on foot except
amid the rapidly moving automobiles.
The sudden. though careful, rounding
OF sharp curve may bring the driver
Of a machine face to face with a mother
wheeling a baby or a group Of joyous
school children on the way to or from
school. This situation Is forced on the
pedestrian and the automobilist alike
because of the want of foresight and
not through premeditated neglect in ap-
plying the rule of safety first. The dan
ger of the situation Is very plain.
How many parents would permit their
children to 80 to school by way of rail-
road tracks? What would one think of
mother wheeling her baby alongside
the path Of the fast approaching ex-
press train7 Yet, Is It not true that
the railway right Of way may be much
safer place for pedestrians than the
smooth. slippery highway with Its rapid,
silent moving vehicles? Does It not ap-
pear that the much censured railroad
plays more to public safety than does
the rule of the people as expressed on
the highways7
1t would be fine for public spirited
citizens to take up this question of pro-
viding footpaths

Governor Miller's Savings.

The story OF the splendid financial
success of the businesslike admins
tration of Governor MILLER is not
told by the mere reductions in appro-
priations, fine as that achievement
was. The various departments did
not confine their economy zeal to get
ting their money from the Legisla-
ture and then spending 1t all, be-
cause 1t was less than had been
given to them before. They got the
lower amounts and then as a whole
did not spend all of that.
The actual budget expenditures for
the fiscal year ending June 80 last
were nearly s17,000,000 under the ap-
preparations In force at the begin
ming of the year. In the previous
fiscal year, during only half of which
the Miller business management had
control of the spendings, the actual
spendings were ss,600,000 under the
appropriations.
Unexpended appropriations In any
considerable amount are rare with
any government In the whole his
tory Of the State Of New York there
is nothing to equal this great Miller
record of spending less than there
was to spend, spending less by mill
ions of dollars.
The businesslike Miller admin
istration also got direct State
taxes down b, $12,600,000 last year
and IL will ge, them down this year
by more than S15,000,O0O. And the
businesslike Miller administration
had a surplus in the treasury at the
close of the fiscal year Of more than
SAL, 900, 900.
II the voters of New York do moi
feel they need more Of that kind Of
worK by their great business Cover
nor, then any succeeding Governor
might well s.ssuiuc that the voters oi

States money squandered than saved
would rather be taxed than not b'

Task for Policewomen.
They Might Keep Order Among Fort
George Heights Children.


To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
statement made In the letter from "A
Believer in Sanity that policewomen
should be given chance to stop or re-
duce the noises on the Fourth and on
other days does seem a step In the right
direction.
On the Fourth I had to suffer for
fourteen consecutive hours the noise
from giant crackers as well as sizzers
and torpedoes. This was on Fort George
Heights.
Neighbors have told me that they dare
not sit near their parlor windows for
fear Of being struck by balls thrown in
the street. and one lady tells mo that
twice on one day baseballs came through
her open window, and she lives on 190th
street on the fourth floor.
The present system Of protection from
annoyances is wholly inadequate. The
most irritating thought which abides In
every sufferers mind is the fact that
parents who are really responsible for
the annoyances are sitting comfortably
In their own rooms far removed from
the scene Of action and tumult while
their children are making life unbear-
able for other people, and If the parents
could be chained to seat IN the midst
Of the racket !. for one, would never
complain. 8. o. 8.

Setting Convicts Free.

II the practice of paroling a con-
victed criminal and turning him
loose to resume his habitual occupa-
tion of lawbreaking we're local is-
sue the release in Philadelphia few
days ago of a drug peddler with a
long criminal record would be mat
ter concerning the people of the
Quaker City exclusively.
But it is not local issue. The
parole system and kindred meth
ods of relieving lawbreakers from
the penalties their offenses merit are
the subject Of criticism in communi-
ties all over the country. In its re-
port for 1921 the Chicago Crime
Commission condemns the parole
and probation system az 1t is ap-
piled in practice. 1t demands the
absolute repeal of the Illinois pro-
baton law in its present form.
In respect of crime Chicago is no
worse and no better than other cities.
Defects In methods Of criminal pro-
cedure, the release OF criminals on
straw bail, delays which mean the
absence of witnesses when their tes-
timony is essential to conviction-all
these and other familiar impediments
to justice prevail elsewhere as they
prevail in Chicago. Elsewhere as
well as in Chicago officials by means
of parole and probation laws undo
the expensive and tedious work Of
conviction and restore to their evil
courses men whose freedom is pub
lie peril.
Hence 1t is that this Pennsylvania
case is of general and not merely
local concern. On its face II appears
to be peculiarly glaring instance Of
that form of lenity which more and
more persons are coming to regard
as dangerous to society. That Its
abuse breeds contempt for the law
and lessons the evildoer's dread of
the laws penalties is hardly open to
dispute.
The beneficiary of the courts In
diligence In this Pennsylvania case
has a criminal record covering nearly
ten years. In 1913 he was arrested
son q charge of ticket scalping and
pleaded guilty. His sentence was sus-
pended. In 1916 he was arrested on
a charge Of burglary and acquitted.
In the same year he was arrested on
charge OF selling heroin to per-
son who died from It's effects. He
was discharged on writ of habeas
corpus. In 1918 he was arrested on a
charge of selling drugs. convicted and

Let the Tariff Wait.

In recent days the United States
Senate has been carving slices out
of the grossly overweight McCumber
tariff duties, for example. in the
cotton goods schedules. That is a
good thing. But better thing and
a safer thing would be to take plenty
OF time to go over all the extrava-
gantly high tariff rates and cut them
down to the measurement of reason
and sense, every one Of them. This
could not be done in a wild rush.
In the few weeks that are left be-
tween now and the elections 1t would
be terrific job to undo all the
mischief the McCumber tariff maxi
ers were able to do up to the hour
they began to see the handwriting on
the wall. long after everybody else
had seen II, read it and understood
it. Perhaps In so short a time as
remains before the elections no
group Of legislative tariff makers
good. bad or Indifferent tariff max
ers-could work out the tariff meas
ure In the right way.
But THE NEW YoRK HERALD has
always said that there was tariff
sense enough in Congress to steer
clear of political disaster If only the
tariff sense were permitted to work
out a measure instead of having it
done by extremists who have gone
tariff mad. But not now-not be-
tween to-day and the elections. This
Is too much to expect.
The thing for this Congress to do
In the interest Of the majority's po-
litical party as well as for the sake
Of the country is to let the tariff
wait.

SUMMER FUR WOMEN

All of which is merely a prelude to
the observation that some young women

the thermometer was going higher and
before the drenching rain cooled the

distinction between summer and winter
furs. Or else they prefer to put on
their winter fur coats. lacking summer
garments rather than be classed among
the utterly questionable non-fur wear
ing members OF the sex.
To emphasize the distinction between
summer and winter fur wraps one may
quote fur expert who remarked that
the difference was as marked as that
between the ermine's summer coat and
his winter coat. The summer coat Is
light brown fur and the winter one
white.

Wainwright Warns Columbia Staff
Says, Opening Summer Session, Foreign Agents Are
Seeking to Dupe the Teachers.

Organized enemies. often led and
financed by aliens. are trying to destroy
the American Republic. J. Mayhem
Wainwright. Assistant Secretary Of War,
said last night at the convocation Of the
twenty-third summer session of Column
bia University. These sinister forces. he
said, aim to wipe out the army and
navy and turn America into a weakling
nation.
The country's most respected seats of
learning, Mr.. Wainwright asserted. har-
Dor the active agents and unwilling
tools of this propaganda The antagon-
ism between capital and labor he de-
scribed az our greatest menace. Unrest
he attributed principally to the unas-
simulated masses. Indifference of cit
izens. he said. was causing lack Of
courage among our public men. adding
that blocs are weakening and may de-
stroy the party system Contempt for
the law and the sanctity Of human life
he pointed out as a national shortcom-
ing. adding:
"Even murder appears to be con-
doned by large sections and elements
of our population"
Mr.. Wainwright. q graduate Of Column
bia College In the class of 1884. spoke
on 'The National Outlook" Prof. John
j. Coss, director of the summer session.
presided. Prof. Walter Henry Hall led
the audience In the university gym
nasium In singing patriotic and college
songs.
Mr.. Wainwright appealed to the stu
dents to enlist actively against the forces
OF discord and to uphold the traditional
American principles of sound govern
ment. He said an impression prevailed
that the universities have permitted
their professors and instructors to ad-
vance theories of social and political re-
form inconsistent with and destructive
to the underlying principles which our
forefathers founded our Government
upon and deemed essential for the hopes
and future happiness of the people,"
Blocs will wreck the party system.
Mr.. Wainwright prophesied. THE party
system of responsibility is weakened and
may be destroyed by blocs organized for
this or that particular interest or ele-
ment." he added. Farmers seeking
special loans of public funds. industrial
interests seeking undue advantage by
way Of traffic duties. veteran soldiers
seeking extra compensation for their
service. communities seeking special Ia
vors by way Of appropriations for local
purposes-all combining for reciprocal
support--are resulting in the overthrow
Of the sound doctrine that the general
good should be superior to all other In
terests and Is placing sectional yand
special interests above national inter-
ests."

"Professing to abhor war for its waste
of human life, they would not hesitate to
sacrifice human life to attain their ends
Dwelling on the concentration of wealth
in too few hands. they would undertake
to make the rich poorer and the poor
