A Florists Paper Advises Using All
Seas0nable Flowers.
From the American Florist.


The proposed Mothers Day coopera-
ton by the American Legion and Aux
iliary is most encouraging sign and
should cause the observance as we'll as
the business for that day to be a great
success. There are some questions that
are not debatable and one OF them is the
duty and reverence the nation owes to
its mothers. We would be glad to see
the day made as noteworthy and as
generally observed as Christmas or
Easter. but such cannot be done by mere
proiteering and Specializing in carna-
tions. There will doubtless be heavy
demands for carnations and there is no
reason why there should not be. but we
are unable to understand the necessity
OF making them the chief factors in the
observance. AS we see It there will be
an abundant supply OF all seasonable
flowers and why should there be any dis
elimination? AS 1t is the retailers who
have the last say with the public they
should push the other flowers. The
wholesalers. too. should have Il in mind
that IL carnation prices are, In time Of
plenty. advanced to unreasonable fig
ures. great dissatisfaction will result
and the true aims and objects OF the OBJ
servance Of the occasion be defeated.

The two distinguished Americans

They were supposed to discuss Mr..

by the news accounts, they got no.

spun yarns and enjoyed themselves

or more modestly sitting on coun-

Mr.. EDISON confided to Mr.. MELLON
that the secret of his success is
keeping out of ruts. Possibly the
meeting was so enjoyable and so
fruitful of sparkling anecdotes and
refreshing wit because Secretary
MELLON convinced Mr.. EDISON, even
before the expected printing press

that there were other dangers in life

Enforcing Quarantine.
Physicians Are Responsible fol
Keeping Patients in Seclusi0n.

From, the Department OF Health Bulletin.
In a number of instances recently
physicians have permitted patients suf-
fering from an acute communicable dis
ease to leave their premises. and thus
to violate quarantine, before the De-
partment of Health had given authorize
ton. AS consequence relatively heavy
fines have been imposed upon several
such physicians.
The excuse made. that the physicians
were not acquainted with the rules and
regulations, could not be accepted, as It
is obvious that every medical man
should be familiar with the require
ments of the Sanitary Code. Moreover,
the scientific facts on which the rules
and regulations of quarantine are based
should of themselves restrain physi-
clans from countenancing and encourag-
ing violations of 1t. A physician who
encourages a patient suffering from an
acute communicable disease TO leave an
apartment OF who fails to enter his pro-
test and to protect himself by reporting
any contemplated or actual violation TO
the department has. by his Indifference
or failure TO cooperate, allowed source
OF Infection to get beyond control. Such
a man may be responsible for number
OF secondary cases. and death or per-
manent disability, to say nothing OF the
mental anguish and the expense which
such secondary cases may cause.
Sometimes q family may find the quar-
antinc period irksomo and chafe at our
regulations. They then bring pressure
to bear upon the doctor TO terminate
the quarantine. In such instances a
few physicians have. out of mistaken
kindness for the patient or from other
motives. ignored the rights OF the public
and have given their assent or even
have encouraged the patient to leave the
quarantined premises. In this case, or
In other matters of law enforcement. the
department has no choice but to hold
the physician legally accountable.
Feeling az we do that the physicians
OF the community are our most impor-
tant allies In efforts to prevent the
spread of communicable disease. we are
always reluctant to take legal action
against them. and the purpose OF this
publication is to bring home to the
small minority of physicians who offend
I'm this way an understanding OF the
meaning of their acts, with view Of
rersuadlng them to be on the alert and
TO uphold the efforts of the Department
of Health in maintaining quarantine

Decent Citizens Disarmed.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The Sui
llvan law was probably made with good
Intentions, but il a mistake. II has dis
armed decent citizens and left criminals
armed.
There are many things that might
be reformed. but the making OF legal
crimes out OF things which are not
crimes in common belief will never help
us. A very dangerous tendency at pres
ent Is the willingness OF our lawmakers
to pass any law urged by persistent
lobby. Let us have legislators who will
make fewer laws and more carefully
thought out ones. PC.

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL
IS PLACED IN DISCARD
Senate Believes 1t Would Not
Stand Court Test.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD

Washington, ID. c., May 23.5

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington, ID. c., May 49,
The Senate Judiciary Committee to-day
practically threw into the discard tho
Dyer anti-lynching bill which passed the
House January 26 last on the ground
that it was unconstitutional A new bill
will be framed.
While the committee took no official
action several of the leading members
admitted the majority opinion was cp-
posed to the House measure on the
ground that 1t never would stand the
test before the Supreme Court.
Imbued with that belief. the subcom-
mittee. consisting of Senators Borah
(Idaho), Overman IN. CO., Shields
(Tenn.), Dillingham; (Vt) and Sterling
Is. d., made an unfavorable report to
the full committee to-day on the Dyer
bill.
Senator Borah deliveral orally the
conclusions of the majority of the sub
committee that the Dyer anti-lynching
bill was unconstitutional In many re-
spects. In that conclusion he asserted
he was supported by Senators Overman,
Shields and Dillingham;. Senator Ster-
ling. the only other member Of the sub
committee. took exception to the ma
jority report.

From Bucket Shop to Jail.

The conviction in the General Ses-
stock operator found guilty of grand
larceny marks what ought to be the
start Of long procession of such
creatures, little and big, to States
prison. District Attorney BAyToN Is
right when he says the only proper
action against that kind of crooked
ness is criminal prosecution for plain
stealing.
The long and thorough work of
THE New YORK HERALD in exposing
tie fraud brokers and the jealous
efforts of the District Attorney to
keep them out Of business must vir-
tually 60 for naught unless the swim
ding bucket shop men can be put in
Jail when they are caught at their
oGious practices.
1t must be perfectly obvious that
no crook will ever be restrained from
fleeing the public merely by the fear
of bankruptcy proceedings and civil
actions to bring restitution. The
most he can suffer under such cir.
cumstances is a loss of part of what
he stole and that is a gambling
chance any swindler is glad to take
Prison is horse of another color.
1t is exasperating to the public
and it is mockery of justice when
in one Of the most notorious cases
which have astounded and shamed
New York the District Attorneys eff.
forts to put the criminals on trial have
been baffled by legal technicalities and
judicial red tape. Because the work
ings of bankruptcy proceedings with
hold in the Federal courts the books
and records which the District At
torney's Office requires for the crimi.
nal prosecution of men who bucketed
away millions of dollars of their Gus
toners money Mr., BANToN has been
helpless to move against them sue
cessfully. This ought not to be pos
sible.
The public cannot suffer a system
Of technicalities. either in law prac
tice or in court rules. which protects
crook from criminal punishment
for his fragrant and patent wrong
doing. The public demands that the
proofs of such criminality should not
be withheld, whether by courts and
agents of the United States Govern
ment or any others, from prosecuting
officers whose business it is and
whose desire Il is to land such scoun-
drels in jail.

The Political Bloc.

In his opposition to political blocs
President HARDING Is thoroughly
sound. Voters are voters and they
shouldn't herd together politically as
men or women or on the lines of
nationality or occupation.
With man bloc, woman bloc, ar
English bloc, a German bloc, ar
Italian bloc, French bloc, Jewish
bloc, Russian bloc and blocs of all
other nationalities represented In
our foreign population. Americas
political machinery would be hope
lessly inefficient.
3 But subdivide these blocs into
group occupations and even into re-
ligious denominations and there
would no longer be any solidarity of
purpose left in our legislative halls
sor at our National Capital.
Policies based on justice, policies
that represent sound thinking, poll.
ecies that make for the good of the
whole, policies worked out or
adopted that are free from prejudice
A--these. not occupations, not sex, not
nationality, should be the heart and
inspiration Of our politics.
r The bloc system in politics in coun-
try of so many nationalities as we
have in America, in a country so vast
I'm area and in industries as Amer.
sica is. would. without sex divisions,
mean political bedlam, political
chaos. But adding the sex bloc, the
woman political bloc, to all the Other
blocs, the country would have tc
throw up its hands and quit the jot
as an organized national entity.
Men and women alike, foreign and
american, regardless of occupation,
J. owe loyalty to and must have in
.terest in the country as a whole, in
all its endless range Of occupations
and endeavors; must realize that what
makes for the good OF one endeavor,
be it farming. manufacturing or
leach endeavor or kindred group oI
endeavors.
Women have it in them to exercise
great good in our political life. They
have the heart, the love Of character,
of decency and of truth that are fun.
damental in the sound citizen-the
citizen of vision, Of aspiration and
national ambition.
Rightly applied this inherent fem
inine citizenship will bring us better

ter men In our State Governments,
better men in our public service gen
orally. Applied wrongly this fem.
inine citizenship, with the vote, can
do immeasurable harm and there is
no surer road to this end than for
women to combine in a political bloc

he Sees Harm in Working n Full
Eight Hours Every Day.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Results
do not depend on how many hours a
day a person works they depend on
the amount Of concentration put into
the work.
This world wasn't built to find out
what people could work the hardest and
accumulate the most money.
II Government employees and others
worked longer hours. had an actual
eight hour day, it would only throw
other thousands out Of work. and make
the ones that do work support them.
There isn't enough work now to go
around.
The Government wouldn't save twen-
ty-1ve million by increasing the hours
Of labor; it wouldn't save twenty-five
cents. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.

| CHICAGO. May 23 ASSOCIATED Press).
Gov. Henry j. Allen of Kansas and
Gov. Nathan L. Miller of New York met
at a banquet Of the Illinois Manufact-
urers Association tonight in the third
of their debates on the issues between
the middle West and the Atlantic sea-
board over the proposed st. Lawrence
waterway
Introducing the debaters, Herman H.
Hettler president of the association. re-
ferred to the presidential possibilities
around the table.
Gov. Miller was smoking his third
cigar when Mr.. Hettler called Three
minutes" to Gov. Allen.
"I'll see you again." said the Governor
of Kansas to the Governor of New York
as he took his seat at the end of forty
five minutes
New York has no objections to the
consummation of the mid Vests dream,
Gov. Miller said as he began his argu-
ment.
The State which led the crusade, for
prohibition Is now clamoring for water.
and all the water in the Atlantic will not
quench its thirst"
The middle West, he said, feels the
call Of the ocean much as some felt the
call OF the wild, but the call appeals
more to desire than to reason.
III there is any reason to hope that
the Atlantic Ocean can be brought 1900
miles inland. then New York is not so
selfish as to impose objections to the
consummation Of that hope" he de-
clared.
Gov. Allen proposed to complete 1.-The
project and investigate afterward. Gov.
Miller said, while he proposed to do the
hrst.
Gov. Miller declared he had figures
to show the estimates Of the st. Law
renee Waterway Commission were in-
adequate. The first thing to consider,
he said, Is to determine whether the
project is feasible.
"And / am here to show that It is not
feasible" he added
The inland cities must first consider
how much ocean traffic they could ex-
pect to come to their doors. he continued
Governor Allen said have not read
all the evidence" he said. '1iI admit
haven't read all OF 1t. I admit that II
you construct such a waterway, ocean
The question is not whether they can do
1t but whether they will do it,
Small vessels cannot compete on the
ocean to-day with larger vessels" he
continued. This whole case has been
brought UP on abnormal conditions in
cident to the war" He quoted sea cap
tains as saying that ocean traffic on the
lakes would not be successful until new
types of vessels were devised to navi-
gate the lakes and the ocean seven
months Of the year and the ocean alone
the remaining five months"
wheat in Kansas and Nebraska Is
further from New York market than
wheat on the Argentine farm" said
Gov. Allen. wheat at the foot Of
Lake Erie is as near to Northern Europe
as 1t will be when 1t gets to New York.

going commerce and the lost motion is
eliminated, the saving in freight will

To THE NEW York HERALD: On be-
half of the rank and file of New York
florists, growers. wholesalers and re-
tailers. / would like to say a word in
reference TO your editorial remarks of

tions at wholesale onSaturday. May 49,
for Mothers Day, was-13h cents. Tho
only Wholesalers organization in exist
ence is one for credit purposes only
and there is absolutely no price fixing
The immutable law OF supply and de-
mand makes the prices of our perish
able product. For some time previous
to Mothers Day carnations at whole

White Whfer.

White Water sings by night time.
White wver sings by day,
And the burden OF it's music
Is Turing as the May.
The bank sides of White Water
How golden green they are
They change to misty opal
Beneath the vesper star.
My love bides by White Water
Above Its singing shore
o can see her standing
Within her cottage door,
She looks upon White Water
And smiles In tender wise
She looks upon the mountains
With May dreams IN her eyes.
IL you would walk with beauty
And one with beauty be,
Go wander where White Water
Flows down to meet the sea.

"Love Said Farewell"

Love said farewell and turned to go
With hesitating steps and slow.
Since he had heard strange voice fall
Adown the way where thrushes call
And cherry blossoms whitley blow.
That betray despair nor woe
l bade him seek her charms. and SO.
Caught in that new and unknown
thrall.
Love said farewell
Each day l watch my garden grow
with wistful eyes, and yet Know
That If perchance her wlles should pail
Old ties might hold him after all
And Joy return again. although
Love said farewell.

come classic, and, unfortunately for
the Big Fellow. that was about all
the work he did for the encounter at
New Orleans. PIN CASEY, the cham
pion handball player. an easy going.
good natured man, was SULLIvAN's
trainer for that fight and the cham

the way to the fight SULLIVAN drank
