1t was too good a joke for him to
keep; he told it so often that all his
neighbors knew 1t. Then he told 1t
at his trial. Militaristic Germany
tried to frown it down. 1t was a
rare morsel for the Socialists. and
literary and commercial Germany
found in il a delightful travesty upon
the overriding military class. VoIGT
was sent to prison for four years,
but he was pardoned at the end of
the second year. For the smiles
which he had furnished the world he
received all sorts Of presents, among
them the promise of a pension Of S25
a month. But the pension proved a
joke too, as VoIGr found out later
when in his extremity he attempted
to collect two years payments which
were in default.
Don Quixote made the world laugh
at the pretensions and anachronism
Of chivalry. The Captain Of K0pe-
nick served Germany in a similar
way by leading it to see as nothing
else ever before had the ridiculous
ness of it's idolatry of soldier clothes
and it's worship Of militarism. VoIGT
had better luck than most testers in
that he got off his practical joke at
the proper time.

Real Help for the Farmer.

President HARDINGs concern for
the farmer is sympathetic, sound and
right. American intelligence of what
ever section or in whatever work
cannot but agree with him that the
welfare of the agricultural industry
and the welfare of the country are
inseparably linked.
The vast part the farmer plays
in our industrial life is sharply out
lined by the estimate OF the Secre-
tary of Agriculture that the products
Of the soil provide the national rail
roads directly with more than 90 per
cent. of their total tonnage and in
directly with as much more. or alto
gether not far from half of all the
business of the American transporta-
tion system.
II national agriculture breaks down
as a self-sustaining. profit earning
industry, therefore, American trans.
portation and American business in
general must languish. So the
farmers difficulties must be overcome
not merely for his sake but for the
cake of all. But merely handing out
loans TO the farmer to carry his crops
indefinitely when he cannot sell them
at reasonable profit is no more the
solution OF his problem than Il Is the
solution of the problem of the steel
manufacturer when he cannot sell
his steel. or of the shoe manufacturer
when he cannot sell his shoes, or Of
the merchant when he cannot sell
his goods.

its output behind money dam until
Il bursts through the straining bar

In the existing economic situation
what the farmer needs first of all and

VoIGT was a shoemaker and like

Making Friends With Birds.

Farmers are urged by the Bureau

States Department of Agriculture to
make friends with birds and TO en-.
courage them to help in the destruc.
tion OF insect pests. Chief among
the suggestions for obtaining the aid
OF these feathered allies are that
trees and shrubs be planted along
the field divisions and that bird
houses be erected in which they may
sss up spring housekeeping.
While the modern wire fence has
enabled farmers to carry cultivation
close TO the boundaries OF fields and
has brought a greater area under the
plow, it has not produced. a greater

Income Tax as a Test.
Payments for 1920 as Evidence Of the
Return to Normally.

To THE New YORK HERALD Collector
John X. Bowers. IL correctly quoted In
your paper. says that return to normal
is indicated by the income tax payments
for 1921. Mr.. Bowers says "the Govern
ment officials had expected a much
larger drop than s2ls.00o.0oo as the
earning powers of individuals and the
amount of business have decreased to
such an extent during the year which
has just been completed. Nevertheless
it Is a good sign and promises a bright
outlook for business in the near future
when the amount of tax collected is as
high as It is"
The strength of the argument is some
what weakened when we realize that the
income tax which has just been paid
covers the income for the year 1920. and
not for 1891. The tax for 1921 is yet to
be collected. When the 1921 tax has
been collected we think probably Mr..
Bowers will find that we have not only
returned TO norInalcy but then some.

Bad Old Times.
New York Better in Some Respects
Now Than in the '70s.

To THE NEW York HERALD: am an
old timer who cannot agree with Mr..
Woodrow, who In recent letter tells
Of the good old times and the superior
virtues of the people around the New
York city of fifty years ago.
Compare the present clean moral and
physical condition with the awful condi-
tions existing fifty years ago. when the
Great White Way ran from about Canal
street to about Fourteenth street. Bill
Tweed and his gang were then owners
Of New York. Vice In all its phases
was rampant all over town. There were
gambling houses, keno games, policy
shops. auction poolrooms, mock auc-
tions. low dancing dives like Harry
Hills, Water street sailor dives: there
were knockout drops, confidence oper-
ators. opium joints. and all those places
were wide open and many Of them aided
by the politicians and police. Oh, yes.
those were good old bad days!
1t Is true that there were many
churchgocrs and many excellent homes,
as Mr.. Woodrow says, but to my mind
the dlssipations of the people Of that
period were three times worse than
those Of to-day. Go out any day at the
present time and notice the clean, we'll
dressed, we'll behaved pedestrians. both
young men and young women. and con-
trast the rather fiirtatious and loud
manners Of good many Of us who
were young pedestrians in the early '70s.
They have us beaten out Of sight!
But in things to eat and drink we
had the edge on everybody OF a later
date. Just think OF these figures. you

pie: Our hotels like the old Astor
House. the Metropolitan. the New York.
the Grand Central. would give us a good
room and three square meals-and they
were meals---for about $3.50 a day. The
restaurants were not restricted then,
and all sorts of wild game was served
very cheap--quail, wild turkey. ducks.
geese. partridges, venison. bear steak,
green turtle steak and soup. terrapin at
80 cents portion. One could buy a big
lobster for from 10 to 25 cents.
And drinks oh, my With fine free
lunch, n quart OF champagne for from
$3.50 to 81; cheaper champagne at $3.50
a quart. and we'll aged and pure wines
OF France and other European vintages,
many served for less than 81 quart.
Perhaps with these temptations we were
justified in being much worse than peo-
pie of the present time.
