The Quiet Road.

There is quiet road that chambers
down
From rising highlands where the west
wind blows,
Now all the valleys sink into repose
And shadows lengthen-green and gray
and brown;
There is peace that falls on Kirkland
When glowing day fades to its golden
close
The silent heaven seems a scarf Of
Ere night has donned her dark star
studded crown.
Along that roadway where the astcrs
Purple as haze that wells the hills
from view,
There bides a lingering ghost of
memory;
Sad as the music that the crickets make,
Sweet as late blossoms to the last
gold bee
One perfect potent memory of you

Danger in the Near East.
More Massacres Feared Unless the
Turks Are Curbed.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
Turkish situation seems to me nearly
as bad as 1t could be. The only bright
spot is the possibility Of Kemal forcing
England to fight him.
The three great Powers, England.
France and Italy, seem, to have sur
rendered to these despicable savages,
whose army is small as European
armies go. and none too we'll provided
with munitions OF war.
What they humbly ask is that the
straits remain free and that racial and
religious minorities be not molested.
Our State Department has solemnly ap-
proved these requests. They both con-
stitute CHASTITY jokes.
AS THE NEW YORK HERALD has al
ready stated editorially. the straits We're
free before the world war, but such
freedom vanished in the mist and Eng
land found it impossible to break
through.
The unfortunate minorities have been
outchered in the past by thousands and
hundreds of thousands with every con-
ceivable cruelty time and again. and
here is no reason to believe that the
criminal Turk will act differently In the
future
1t is little short of an outrage to put
such a provision as this for their pro-
lection into the treaty with Turkey,
knowing. as all concerned do. that II
means nothing and that the unfortunate
peoples gain no protection under it.
The success OF the Turk in battle as
against the Greeks and his further sue
cess in diplomacy against the Powers
have so puffed him up that he is de-
manding that other nationals shall be
subject to his courts. 1t is on this
point that our State Department sticks
and it is to be hoped the weak kneod
Powers will also demur.
Turkish law gives every advantage
to the believer in Mohammed and JUS
tice goes to the one who can pay for it.
1t is said that England is bound by
certain promises made to followers Of
Mohammed in India and elsewhere. She
may have been so bound, but Armenian
massacres since committed by the Turk
have wiped out the obligation of all
such engagements.
II matters were reversed and tho
United States, England, France and
Italy were Mohammedan, with a Mo-
hammedan Armenia trodden under foot
by Christians, it would speedily be re-
lieved and the oppressor himself would
be wiped off the face of the earth. No
wonder Kemal and his hordes Of cut
throats despse Europe and its Christians.

The Ratzer maps. 1867. and those OF

island. That of 1897 lays IT down UNI

evacuation of Thrace and VENIzELos
in London entered strong protest
against handing the country over to
the Turkish Nationalists.
The attitude of the Mudania con-
ference on this question Is that the
disposition of Thrace Is not within
its province as a military tribunal.
1t is as undesirable in the present
situation, the conference holds, that
the Greek army should be in occn-
patton as that Nationalist force
should be permitted to exercise un-
limited authority. NA general super
vision of the territory by an allied
force is not unlikely as a means of
preserving peace and order until
final settlement is made by the peace
conference.
The Russian Soviet appeared for
the first time as factor in this par
ley. The policy which it is pursuing
was outlined in LENrNE's recent dec
laration that Russia vas being
blockaded by the British and that
all the Black Sea States should have
a part in settling the fate OF the
straits. He Is really barking back to
the treaty made by the Soviet Forr
eign Minister, TcHITcHERIN, with the
Angora Government in March, 1921,
permitting Moscow to share with
Turkey the control of the Dardanelles
and Bosporus. Upon the ground
that it wishes to be consistent in de-
nying joint control with any ether
nation the Angora Government Is
anxious to have this treaty with Mos
COW abrogated KEMAL Is finding
his earlier friendship with the Boz
shevists extremely embarrassing.
The Mudania parley has had the
effect not only of bringing about an
armistice but at the same time OF
disclosing the parts which Greece
and the Russian Soviet are desirous
of playing in the contemplated con-
ference to settle the whole Near East
controversy.

Governor MiIler's Economies.

Governor MILLER's first big utter
ance of the campaign-his speech Of
acceptance at Cooper Union-was
charged with the business spirit that
has animated the Governors admin
istration. He told his hearers what
he and the Republican Legislature
had accomplished and compared their
record with preceding administra-
tions, including Governor SMITHS.
Figures do not make juicy reading,
and facts about the conduct of sane
government are usually dry. But
figures and facts are the things
which will influence the intelligent
vote in the coming election. The fu-
ture of the candidates for Governor
ought to be determined by the public
measure of their Official pasts. Each
man has held the reins at Albany
for a two year term. Whoever is
elected will doubtless, as a consistent
man, give the public the kind of ad-
ministration that the public knows
AC Cdll 5lNC DCtduSC lC idD 6lNCh ~.
When Governor MILLER took Office
he found that the estimates prepared
during the Smith administration
called for s20G 100000. He asked the
Legislature to cooperate with him in
reducing this to S1S5.0o0,000. After
that had been done Governor MILLER
managed to cut s10,000,000 more from
the cost of running the State Gov
ernment. MILLER not only checked
the mad rush of the squanderers, he
turned them back in retreat.
If Governor SMITH, his predeces-
sor, tried to stop the orgy of spend
ing he was not able to stop it. 1t
took Miller to do it.
OF course any strong willed Gov
ernor with miserly proclivities could,
il the Legislature assisted him, re-
duce the State expenses to very low
figure. But Governor MILLER is not
a miser. He does not believe in any
"parsimonious cheese pairing econ
omy," to use his own phrase. He
built more good roads last year than
ever were built in any previous year
in this State. The schools, public
health, canals--all have had the ap-
preparations they needed. But the
money was spent without waste. 1t
was spent without borrowing. There
was no exceeding appropriations. The
Government paid its bills from cur
rent revenue.
Is that the kind of administration
that ought to be put out of Office?
THE New YORK HERALD does not
think so. 1t does not think that the
people of this State. who have
watched national squander and it's
results since 1917, will wish to oust
a man who has been pulling the
government and the finances of New
York back to sanity.

In the first game Of the world series
mind scored over matter The Giants,
reputed to be ruled in every motion
by the brain of Professor McGRAw,
defeated the rather undisciplined
pupils of DR.. HIGGINS.
AS HERBERT SPENCER once failed to
remark to DARWIN, having the twirl-
ers is all right but you've got to use
your bean and get the breaks too.
Mr.. McGRAw, himself philosopher
of the later Victorian period, un-
doubtedly applied as much cold sci
ence as possible to the problem in
hand. AS for the breaks, both sides
had them but the Giants had theirs
last and in fuller measure.
Students of EMERSON will note with
pleasure how nicely the laws Of COM
pensation operated. 1t was Mr..
YOUNG of the Giants who let in the
Yankees second run by booting ball
in the seventh inning. But it was
the same Mr.. Young who, in the eighth
inning, with the score tie, struck
the sphere with such impact that al
though the center fielder captured it
Giant scored on the sacrifice.
Every grand stand psychologist will
tell you that yesterdays victory was
more than game won. The Giants
have the edge. Professor MCGRAw's
intellect. which never suffers from
charleyhorse, is in the pink of con-
dition. Yet the Yankees have their
pitchers and they have RUTH and his
rugged little playmates Of the famous

Copeland on Big Questions.

While Senator CALDER was making
his speech on national taxes and
other national issues last Tuesday
his opponent for the Senatorship
was not neglecting big, vital ques-
tions. DR.. ROYAL S. COPELAND, the
Democratic nominee, was telling the
people just where he stood on some
of the problems that perplex them.
The doctor has the advantage OF a
little corner all to himself In the
New York American and there we
find the questions put to him by an
eager electorate and the replies made
hv Candidate COPELAND.
One correspondent, whose identity
is concealed behind the initial W,
pumped the following query right
at DR.. COPELAND:
"Will you kindly tell me whether
white or yellow vaseline used to pro-
mote the growth of eyelashes.Swould
be harmful to the eyes?'
DR.. COPELAND did not sidestep. He
did not say that eyelashes were a
local issue He did not aver that
much was to be said on both sides.
His answer was as bold as lion:
mo; vaseline is not harmful to
the eyes
A question of equal import was put
to Candidate COPELAND by "E. A."
as follows:
'I am girl II years old, and am
feet inches tall and weigh 12S
pounds Am overweight"
A timid politician might have re-
piled that he would be guided by the
Syracuse platform and the wishes of
the people: but DR.. COPELAND flung
back an answer in which there is
no dodging
a very good average
A lady voter, Mrs. A." put ques-
tion which we fear few men in the
United States Senate could have an
swered offhand with authority:
after my husband has been Sleep
ing for about thrce-quarters of an
hour he jumps and sometimes gets
up and walks in his sleep. Will you
kindly tell me the cause of this?"
Here was a chance for trimmer
to say that somnambulism will con-
time to be an evil until the League
of Nations is permitted to do some
thing about it; but Candidate Core
LAND met the issue squarely:
Your husbands condition is prob
ably due to extreme nervousness.
He should be under the care of
neuroiegist."
It becomes more and more evident
that the Democratic State convention
knew what 1t was doing when it
nominated DR.. COPELAND. Who, in
a Senate debate on hereditary wens,
could stand up against him?
