Good time to do it now. Furniture prices are
lower than they have been for several years. Whole
sale costs have come down and our retail prices have
followed suit. We were able to take advantage of
these lower wholesale costs because we began
year ago to reduce our stock that we could buy
from day to day. Nearly all the furniture we now
offer came in during the past few months at the
lower costs. Now it is still further reduced in the

solutions would be TO make Il poe
sible to run the Long Island trains
straight through TO lower Manhat-
tan. Most Of the commuters who
come from beyond Jamaica have
downtown New York as their des-
tination. Much time and trouble

Unfortunately, the very fact that
the question has been brought up by
the railroad makes Il almost inevi-
table that it will be battered about
by municipal politicians. This does
not augur well for the public. Sooner

to lend a hand, for the growth OF

Platform Pledges

Tho six Republican, Assemblymer
who we're chosen from New York
City In November were elected on q
platform which upheld Governor
Miller and ali his policies. including
the policy Of better transit for New
York City. No eleetor gave them
any mandate 10 violate the pledge
they took when they became candi-
dates. That they are 10 be mem
bers Of the next Assembly is due
to the fact that their supporters
believed they would adhere to Gov
ernor Miller's program.
is true that Chairman Morris
Of the Republican State Committee
and William L. Ward, chairman OF
the executive committee, have ad-
vised these gentlemen TO support any
effort to repeal the Miller transit
law these leaders. in the opinion OF
The Tribune, are using extremely
bad judgment.
Whether the new Governor "runs
wild" or not, II Is the business OF
Republicans who were sent to the
Assembly on a Republican platform
70 support that platform. Any other
course would be disloyal to the voters
In their districts. The fact that
these six Assemblymen, according to
recent reports, are the only means
Of keeping Tammany's hands of the
subways makes any wayering on
their part all the more eulpable.

The New Pioneer. of France

In the chronicles Of pioneers the
tale Of those French peasants who
have returned TO their devastated
farms and fought against destruc-
tion and ruin 10 win back their an
cient homes must always take high
rank. The scenes and circumstances
are utterly different from that west
ward flowing stream Of American
pioneers who voyaged across the
virgin soil Of the West 10 plant set
Elements where none had ever stood
before. These homes Of the devas-
tated regions Of France are among
the oldest homes Of Europe. For
thousands Of years men and women
and children have lived and titled
along those hospitable valleys. Not
a foot Of soil but Is rich in distant
memories-of the noise Of invaders
and battles. Of Napoleon and the
kings Of France, Of the Franks
who gave France her name but not
her character, Of the Celts that were
before Cesar, and Of those COM
mon ancestors Of all the western
world who Clipped and polished
hints before iron came 10 make war
terrible and yet more terrible.
But no war ever brought such
tragedy TO this land as did the
great war Of our own day and civili-
zation. There the Iron Age that be-
gan with the Celts reached it's
climax Of marvel and dreadfnlness.
Along a great sweeping, curving
line from Ypres to Yerdun and
further the intrenched armies took
what were wheatfelds and walled
gardens and sturdy, stone homes
and graceful old churches and made
Of them an equal desolation. Great
trees fell 10 blackened stumps.
Along this strip, miles wide and
several hundred miles long, the torn
ground was sovn thickIy with un-
exploded shells and netted with
barbed wire. Throughout north
eastern France, a thirteenth Of the
republic, region containing great
cities and vast manufactures and
mines, ruin in some degree was
wrought.

A Futile FiIibuster

The Senate opponents Of the ship
ping bill seem to think that il they
can filibuster It to death at this ses-
ton they thereby will dispose OF
tho shipping problem. That Is the
fundamental error underlying this
senseless and futile filibuster. The
enemies Of the measure hope to pose
as heroes at home on the theory that
they have spared their constituents
the burden Of a S2o,oOO,oOO to $780,
600, 700 yearly subsidy.
They will not spare their constitu-
ents the burden Of sustaining an
American merchant feet by prevent
ing a vote on the pending bill. To
tho contrary, a larger burden VIII
remain. The government owns
vast collection Of ships which it can
not sell because private owners re-
fuse to be drawn into further COM
petition on the high seas with the
government. The Shipping Board
operates enough ocean carriers to
bring It's annual deficit up to about
s50,O00,000. The enactment Of the
shipping bill would cut that loss 1t
also would help the board 70 dispose
Of its surplus vessels, for the pend
ing bill contains q virtual assurance
to purchasers that the government
will aid them to build up a profitable
trade and will not compete against
them.
If the shipping bill fails the same
old depressing situation will con-
tinue to plague us. Congress can
not run away from II. The country
has a losing enterprise on its hands.
1t must go on with this unlucky ven
ture or get out Of it. Only few
irreconcilables like Senator La Fol-
lette and Senator Fletcher seem to
be still faithful to the scheme OF
government ownership and opera
ton, In which the country already
has sunk more than S2,000,0O0,-
900. They may prefer 10 close their
eyes and prolong government owner
ship and operation until another
81, 900, 900, 900 vanishes.
But what will the others dol The
Democratic party, under Mr.. Under
woods leadership, wrote a discrimi-
mating duty into the tariff law Of
1918. VIII It vote once more for the
enforcement of such a duty? That
is a much more disputatious and
aggressive form Of government aid
than subsidies. Will they come
eventually to the present plan? We
must have one Of three things-gov-
ernment operation, subsidies or a
discriminating duty. Inaction simply
commits US further to the first-an
utter failure in results and incom-
parably the most expensive method
Of aiding shipping Of which this
country has had any experience.

PLAYFUL Mr.. Borah

Senator Borah, versatile, alert
and unfettered, always an expert
on values in the publicity market,
has astonished many Of his friends
By advocating the calling Of an In
ternational conference on economic
conditions and fyrther naval dis
armament. Such a conference, TO
obtain results, would have to arrive
cat such understandings or ar
raneements as may seem essential
10 the restoration Of trade and to
the establishment Of sound financial
and business conditions" 70 quote
the newest Borah resolution. 1t
would commit the United States to
Joint decisions and joint actions in
the field Of international relations.
There would be no novelty in
this. The real novelty is in Mr..
Borah's benevolent association with
such a project. People remember
the not remote days when he beat
his breast and evoked the shades OF
Washington and Monroe in protest
against any working contracts with
the world outside-especially with
the nations of Europe. He was
the most rigid and meticulous OF
nationalists, looking askanee at any
suggestion Of entanglements-per-
manent or semi-permanent--in any
! international compsets, covenants
or understandings whatsoever.
Mr.. Borah, notwithstanding, soon
afterward assumed paternity Of a
plan for limitation Of naval arma-
ment by the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. He suddenly
cooled toward 1t when it was ex-
panded by President Harding and
Secretary Hughes into a peace In
the Pacific as we'll as a naval limi-
tation conference. After this gath
ering had ended competition in cap
ital ship construction and tranquil
lied the Far East, the author OF
the Borah disarmament resolution
led a fight against the ratification
Of the key treaty-the four-poweI
Pacific one.
If a new international confer
ence is called and reaches agree.
ments which may require future
consultation and Joint decisions
will the Idaho Senator again attach
them as enmeshing US in an ALI
ance abhorrent to the teachings Of
the Fathers? No one can say. Mr.
Borah Is a law unto himself. Hi
thought Is as free as air. Hi
mind runs to unshackled statesman
ship in the same way as Miss Am!
Lowelps runs TO unshackled verse
But no one worries about that
What would the Senate be withou
! Borah? To its wintry atmospher,
he always brings a touch Of buoy
ant, volatile, irresponsible spring.

Justice Greenbaum's Resignation

Sir: As was brought out at last
nights dinner 70 Justice Greenbsum
he was elevated TO the bench By the
Republican party. He was then an
anti-Tammany Democrat At the eI-
piration Of his term he was renomi-
mated by the Republican party. He also
received the Democratic nomination.
Nothing Is more certain than that but
for his original Republican nomination
he would not have been made a Judge.
that Tammany would never have taken
the initiative in nominating him, an
anti-Tammany Democrat, and that but
for the fact that he was an snti-
Tammany Democrat he would not have
been nominated by the Republican
party for his hrst term.
He now intends to resign before
reaching the age limit. II his resigns-
tion takes effect before December 81
the vacancy will be filled By Governor
Miller. II his resignation takes effee.
January /. Governor Smith will choose
his successor. Mr. Smiths recent
pledge at TammAny Hall leaves no
room for doubt as 10 bis attitude to-
ward the organization on the subject Of
patronage In It's own territory.
Thus, II Justice Greenbaum's reSigna-
tion takes effect before December 81
every one will understand that he In
tends his successor to be chosen under
anti-Tammsny auspices. while II Il
takes effect after that date, every one
will understand that he intends that
his successor shall Be selected by
Tammany. That is iaeseapabls.
