making a trip to confirm them in
their intention Of not doing so this
fall. The speechmaking in vacation
land will be good setting-up exercise
for more strenuous days ahead where
Democrats are more numerous than
hens teeth.
There are no surface indications
that Maine is dissatisfied with the
Harding Administration or with
Senator Hale and Governor Baxter,
who are up for reelection. The
state since 1912 has had n strongly
progressive tinge. Hale, member
now Of the Harding foursome on the
links, was a Bull Mooser. So was
Baxter. The Senator has done we'll
in Washington, and Maine is not in
the habit Of chonging Senators with
out great provocation. The Cover
nor has shown outstanding ability
as an executive. That both are bach
elors. therefore imperfectly quail
fed for Office, is the amusing non
sequitur that passes for argument in
a tame campaign.

Dickering

Il is significant that the Demo
cratic slate-makers now gathered
are talking about no Office but the
Governorship. Most Of them seem
to agree that they want ZAP
Smith to be their candidate. A ma
jority, in private conversation, de-
clare that Mr.. Hearst will not be
nominated. But no one Of them has
anything TO say about the Senator
ship, which is quite. as important IS
the Governorship.
Among those present is Charles
Francis Murphy, who in the con-
vention September 2S will be the
collective voice Of the leaders Of
Tammany Hall. Mr.. Murphy is quite
willing to have Mr.. Hearst elimi-
mated as a candidate for Governor.
He would much prefer a man who
would not, were he elected to that
powerful Office, Immediately seek to
boss the whole party, including Tam
many.
But Mr.. Murphy may not object to
sending Mr.. Hearst to Washington
if by so doing he can induce him TO
cease from troubling in city and
state affairs. Thus it is possible that
Mr.. Murphy's attitude is responsible
for the brooding silence Of all the
statesmen on the question Of the
Senatorship. The Tammany chief
has a way Of quoting talk when talk
threatens his plans.
A number Of Mr.. Hearst's friends
are in council, and they also have
little to say about the Governorship.
But it would appear that they are
busily dickering for something Gust
as good"
What Murphy wants to DO tins
year is TO win, if it is possible, and
in particular TO win in the state. He
could afford to lose the Senatorship
if he could gain the Governorship.
It would not break his heart nor
those Of his followers if Mr.. Hearst
were on the ticket and beaten, pro
vided his nominee for Governor
won.
This is therefore a propitious time
for Mr.. Hearst TO dicker, and there
is little doubt that that is just ex-
actly what he is doing.

Is the Razorback Going7

The Florida razorback, says a
Gainesville, Fla, representative Of
the Agricultural Department, Is
rapidly approaching extinction. This
lean and agile animal that strops
himself on the pine trees until his
backbone is sharp enough to cut
fence rails; this feetest and keenest
Of the Suid@, that can outrun a
hound and has been trained for use
as a bird dog; this redoubtable pig
that can whip an alligator; this deep
rooter whose snout is a subsoil plow,
is threatened with extinction by
dumpy breeds Of hogs that have no
merit other than their ability to
fatten.
Usually the Department Of Agri-
culture is reliably informed. But il
seems judicious to accept this report
with some caution. The glory Of the
razorback has ever been his self
sufhciency. He is not dependent
upon the bounty Of the farmer. He
subsists upon natures offerings. He
lives off the country, and II is reason
able 10 expect that he will continue
TO do so, however much he may be
driven into the deeper Florida
wildernesses.
In this connection it is pertinent
to recall an episode Of the summer
Of 1913. Caleb Winterbottom, a
farmer Of Southbury, Conn, with
Yankees love Of experiment.
ing, imported genuine Florida
razorback. Caleb wanted 10 see
what close quarters and rich food
could do for the breed. His expert
ment did not last long. He tagged
the animal and placed il IN a pen.
The next morning II was gone, a
sawed fence rail telling the story Of
the escape. Three weeks later, 20

What Readers Say
The Race for Ellis Island"

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; I want TO express my apprecia-
tion Of your recent editorial entitled
"The Race for Ellis Island" | am
glad that you point TO the fact that
injustice in regard 10 administering
the 3 per cent law is not a reason for
abolishing its control. There have been
many pathetic stories, some Of which
are proved to be false, aiming at this
thing, (. e., the abolition Of all restric-
ton.
While there are injustiees, no doubt,
which ought TO be remedied, IL would
be absurd TO admit swarms Of aliens,
with all the ensuing hardships 10 our
unemployed and drain on our charities,
just because a few have suffered in be-
ing turned out. Thank you for show
ing that the broader aspects Of the law
should not be overlooked.

Selling Out the Russians

The best thing that can be said
Of the Hague conference, now hap
PLY no more, is that it furnishes a
guiding example Of what not to do
in the future. Like its Genoa pred
ecessor, it was conceived in hypoc-
risy, carried on in false pretence
and collapsed in palpable fraud. Not
in a thousand such gatherings IS
there a grain Of benefit to the world.
The conference was advertised as
economic. But it was singularly
non-economic. It's declared object
was 10 lay the foundation Of mutu-
ally beneficial trade with Russia, but
its program looked to the perpetu-
alton of conditions which made
trade with Russia impossible. For
four years Russia has had imposed
on her by force a system which has
smothered the ability of her people
either to sell or to buy. Yet not a
word was said at The Hague looking
to removing the pressure on the
Russian people. The plan was TO
lend money to the wreckers Of Rus
STA and thus enable them 70 con-
tinue their wrecking business.
What was sought to be done, al
though CARRIED in fine phrases, was
in essence monstrously immoral. It
was nothing other than that the
civilized world should give a new
club to the Russian tyranny. The
abandonment of the Russian people
was to be grossly heartless. Just as
a century ago traders with the Bar
barry Coast said il was no concern OF
theirs how the pashas used their
power-that the tribute money paid
to them could be used TO hire dun
geon keepers-so now some men Of
business, provided they get profits,
care not to what misery the Russian
people are reduced. Such are eager
to exploit Russia and are Indifferent
to what happens TO the victims Of
the exploitation. The Litvinoff pro-
posals are nothing more than that
the Soviet government is willing 10
90 "halves" with big concession
seekers.
To another thing the Hague con-
ferees were entirely blind-namely,
that the restoration Of Russia is es-
sertially domestic and not an in
ternational problem. All we can do
is to assist the Russian people 10
establish a civilized government.
The main work the Russians must
do themselves. But though much
was said at The Hague Of the rights
Of foreigners in Russia not one word
was uttered about the rights Of the
Russians themselves. The confer.
ence asked for guarantees for aliens
that they did not even hint that Rus
slams should enjoy.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
The Summer Die-Hard

IL any friend Of ours should try,
When we were on the scene,
To bite a casual passerby
In some quick fit Of spleen,
And we should sec him smashed
out fiat
We'd quake with dread and
terror,
And feel extremely certain that
Our friend had made an error.
II any friend Of ours should seek
With patient care and toll,
To rear his young in ponds that
reek
With crude and smelly oil,
And all his family should die
We'd feel profoundly shaken,
And own with a regretful sigh
That he was much mistaken.
And yet mosquitoes watch their
friends,
With little show Of tact,
Bite people-for their evil ends
And perish in the act.
And straightway do the bugs
. take wing
In fierce, vindictive passion,
And do the self-same risky thing
In quite the self-same fashion.
And though mosquitoes children
die
In ponds that faint the air,
Still other culex parents try
To rear their offspring there.
I'm no admirer Of his
No booster, in the least
But confess this insect is
A most persistent beast.

Locking Up America

Wherein Senator Gooding, of
Idaho, is superior TO some Of his col
leagues is in his frankness. lie does
not beat about the bush. When he
has a conviction he blurts it out.
Ills may not be an opinion any one
else entertains, but that makes no
difference to the Senator. lie dares
to be Daniel and 10 stand alone.
So. as the nub and king-pin Of d
speech which it took him two hours
and twenty-four minutes to deliver,
in which he discussed the cod liver
oil industry with great thorough
ness, with side trips to cuckoo
clocks, monkey-faced dolls, dog muz-
zles and other points Of interest, he
declared that If he had his way he
would build a tariff wall so high
"that there would be an embargo
against every foreign-made article
that can be manufactured in this
country"
He would make the aforesaid wall
proof against the jimmies Of wicked
importers. Tropical fruits can be
raised in this country by steam heat.
Shipments Of them here should at
once be stopped. He would lock up
America and throw the key into the
deepest ocean. Embargo IS his IA
vorite word.

The National Anthem

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent A. G.
Rudd Is soldier, TO whom war is
naturally Of paramount Importance,
wherefore war must be the motif for
his national anthem. In the same way
the Englishman. feeling that the King
is the most vitality important figure in
history, has repeated the line; "God
save the KING" some seven times in
his national anthem,
But II Is an extremely common error
70 be deceived as 20 the vital issue Of
nations history. I have heard men
say in all seriousness that the
Eighteenth Amendment threatened the
liberty Of America more than any
other incident ever did. Again, to the
railroad engineer the disastrous col
lision is the outstanding horror. Yet
nobody would attempt such an absurd
ity as a national anthem upon such
matters, however terrible they may
have seemed to those Immediately con-
eerned, because America was not
founded upon kings or railroad dis
asters, any more than upon wars and
bloodshed.
The fundamental and essential char
acteristic Of Americas unfolding was
peaco-posce, which has become the
very life Of America. almost the
definition Of America. One has only
TO consider the Monroe Doctrine (thc
only doctrine ever fashioned and
honestly promulgated to promote
peace to realize the truth Of my as
sertion.
Wherefore peace must be the motif
for Americas national anthem, not
war. How immeasursbly superior Is
the noble sentiment: "Glory to God
IN the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward menl" when COM
pared with phrases such as Their foul
