The New Juliets.

Nobody is going to repeat the curse
of the dying Mercutto and say: "A
plague o. both your houses" when
JANE CowL acts the. heroine Of
SHAKEsPEABE's tragedy Of young love
In one theater and ETHEL BABRrMoRE
incarnates Juliet In another. 1t Is
sometimes impossible to get too much
Of good thing. Every element In
the promised revivals OF Romeo and
Juliet" appears to assure pleasure
to theatergoers.
Performances of this drama have
not been frequent In recent years.
Visiting tragedians have usually re-
served It for Wednesday matinees, at
which their wives were at liberty
to show their / lea Of the way In
which the heroil should be acted.
Naturally this manner Of introducing
the play did not cause widespread
enthusiasm. So IL will be almost a
novelty to tho present generation Of
theatergoers.

cratic stronghold schoharie county
went Republican at the last election
have consulted a number OF old time
ballot markers, and hero Is the sub
stance Of their replies:
First. A number Of stanch Democrats
are now casting votes in heaven (D.
Second. Since woman suffrage has
been adopted many Of the female sex
spite their spouses by voting the straight
eagle ticket.
Third. Many Of echoharies popula-
tion have departed from rural districts
for nearby cities. eome turning Social
lists in Schenectady. It is a known
fact that many Of these emigrants
helped elect the hrst Democratic Mayor
In Gloversville.
Fourth. The rawness Of the Sulzer I'm
peachment proceedings disgusted many
and caused Schoharie county to make its
first change in politics IN forty years.
To my mind It has never recovered
sufficiently from the shock.
Fifth. Then again. the rising genera
ton and many new dweilerv are using
their right Of franchise In the belief
that the best candidate should attain the

Recently Mike complained to some of
his fellow workers that he could not
keep his mouth shut. while sleeping. and
asked their advice as TO what he should
do to make his mouth stay shut while

dry and painful.
Mixes friends listened to him inter-
estedly but mono OF them seemed able
to offer any advice. Among tho group
OF listeners was a 1ovial person by the

from tho others. Mike turned to Hawk
bill and said:
"Hawkbil. what would you advise mo
to do to keep my mouth shut while
I sleep?"
Hawlrbil pondered for a few moments
before answering and then saids
Mike. II you win learn to keep your
mouth shut during the day. perhaps you
will learn to keep Il shut while you
Sleep"
Tho group Of listeners reared with
laughter at the advice OF Hawlrbu.
Mike walked away without sayfnr q

Science Aid to Sport.
Develops Fishing Streams and I'm.
proves Anglers Tackle.
From the Fssfd,

From the Field.
We may say that science has been
called in to aid sport and that the signs
Of II are visible IN many directions.
But n short time ago. for instance, Mr..
Nicholas Everitt described the oonver-
sion Of q Norfolk broad into . good
trout water. an undertaking which would
have seemed Incredible to our great
grandfathers and one which has only
been made possible by the development

tization Of trout In distant lands. q
wonderful proof OF what science can do.
Then there has been extraordinary
progress in tackle. Fly rods which are
works of art. reels which are triumphs
Of engineering. baits which constantly
improve. thanks to the ingenuity OF
many minds--these would have aston
ished the anglers Of the earlier nine
teenth century. SO too would the nice
distinction between wet fly. dry fly and
nymph fishing have made them wonder.
This Is In a way a natural outcome Of
the theory Of dry fiy fishing formulated
by Halford and II may not bo the final
stage. Some day perhaps there win be
a kindred discussion OF the fish's mind
Trout fishing. luckily. seems ever to
afford fresh interests.
There are other directions In which
science Is helping the angler. The dis

LONDON, Nov. 81 (Associated Press).
Replying In guarded manner to
questions in the House of Commons con-
corning interallied debts and whether
the Government maintained the attitude
OF the Balfour note, the Prime Minister
said the question had not been raised
at Lausanne by France or Italy. but IL
it should be raised the Government con-
sidered itself perfectly free to recon-

ROME. Nov. 81 (Associated Press).-
The Senate to-day voted confidence In
the Cabinet of Benito Mussolini without
dissenting voice after Mussolini in a
speech said he would bc pleased II the
Senate accorded him a unanimous vote,
but that he would not be excessively
iattered by 1t.
Mussolini declared that for those SEN
ators who had changed their attitude
and turned enthusiastically toward him
in fear. he held deep contempt. "Such
people," he said, turn which ever way
the wind blows. AS against doubtful
friends. prefer sincere adversaries."
The vote Of this evening gives the
Government full powers for bureau
cratic and fiscal reform until Juno 80.
1923. The Chamber of Deputies on Sat-
urday passed similar measure.
Mussolini said It had been demon
strated that there was only one way to
eject from the Government the political
class. namely. by revolution. "But I
have circumscriped the revolutionary
Government within certain limits. have
not got drunk with my success. I might
easily have closed Parliament and in
stalled a Dictatorship as nothing could
resist the mystic obedience Of my 300.-
900 Black Shirts
IT trusted this spectacle would be
sufficient to induce the Chamber to
change its methods. but was dfsillu-
stoned when thirty-six resolutions were
presented for q vote of confidence to
the Government This convinced me that
II it was not disillusioned the Chamber
needed at least a long vacation"
People forget that liberty Is duty
and not a right. I am not afraid Of
words. therefore I proclaim myself the
prince of reaction. But will not follow
an anti-proletariat policy: will not
oppress the proletariat. but will elevate
them materially and spiritually. not be-
cause their number entities them to
special rights. No great nation can
be created when workmen are obliged
to suffer from q low standard of living"
Referring to his foreign policy Mus
solini said nothing could be accomplished
in a half hours conversation which
would bring about great results This
was taken to be an allusion to the con-
versation Mussolini had with Premier
Poincare and Lord Curzon in Switzer-
land.
'Italy's ideal In foreign policy" the
Premier continued, 'is peace, and there
fore no Imperialism. But there is to be
no remuneration Of the possibility Of hav-
ing recourse to arms, which would rem

cause no one can try the same expert

conclusion. But it Is not Of myself

but Of the nation. because such a failure
would be grave for italy.

New York's Forestry Campaign.

New York has set an example for
other commonweaIths to follow in
the work Of reforestation by starting
"a campaign to secure the planting Of
100000 acres of non-productive land
within the State.
The first step recently taken by
Conservation Commissioner ALExAN-
DER MACDONALD was to name gen.
eral committee which includes the
Leading authorities on conservation
in the State. Other committees COM
posed OF representative citizens will
attend to the details OF the various
phases Of the work.
Under the plan Of operations every
element interested in timber conser-
vation Is reached. The members Of
the general committee are CLIFFoRD
II. PErrrs, superintendent Of State
Forests; FRANKLIN r. Moon, dean of
the State School of Forestry at SYRIA
cuse; NJ. G. BuRETr, vice-president
OF the College of Agriculture, Cornell
University; GEORGE d. PRATT, former
Conservation Commissioner; J. II.
SIMMONS OF Albany. secretary of the
State Forestry Association; w. s.
FRENon of New Hartford. president
OF the New York State Fish, Game

Our Open Door in Asia Minor.

The open door so vigorously pressed
by our State Department at Lau-
same and now supported by Great
Britain is nothing new in American
foreign policy. Secretary HAYS open
door demand had specific application
to China, but the principle on which
he based it is general. and it has
long been dominant in our attitude
on foreign affairs.
What the United States has con-
sistently maintained. while avoiding
permanent Old World entanglements,
is that American trade, interests and
rights must have an equal opportu-
nifty with other nations, whether in
ancient China or more modern Japan,
the petty, barren island Of Yap or
the rich and fertile lands of Asia
Minor. Secretary HUGHES has made
this clear both to the League Of Ma
tions and to individual Governments
on more than one occasion, as Presi-
dent WILSON'S Secretaries Of State
also did, and his handling Of the
whole question since the Harding
Administration came into once has
been as soundly American as 1t has
been direct and successful.
Nor is there force in the conten-
ton Of some Of the European Powers
that II America expects to share op-
portunities with other nations she
must stand prepared to share their
responsibilities in the matter both
Of territorial supervision and, when
necessary, military occupation. As a
matter of fact this would be contrary
to the traditional policy Of tho Amer
ican Government and the spirit and
purpose OF the American people. The
United States has not proceeded on
the theory that to get a square deal
In the Old World our demands must
be presented on the point Of bayo-
net or preserved with armies and
battleships.
When American lives and Ameri-
can interests have been in danger
our Government has defended them
with military measures in the Far
East and in the Near East as It has
defended American lives and Ameri-
can interests on our own Western
Hemisphere. But the American pol
icy never has been to set up armed
camps In the territory Of other
countries simply because American
citizens held concessions and prop
erty there. and this policy is not
likely to be changed in the matter of
Turkey and the Asiatic oil fields
under Turkish dominion.

A New Building Trade War.

A war between the bricklayers'
union and the building industry may
throw out of employment a great
many more workers than those di-
rectly involved in the strike or
lockout. In fact, it can scarcely fail
to do that very thing. Unless the
builders can replace the locked out
bricklayers with non-union workers
new construction cannot begin and
some Of the construction already
under way cannot be continued. But
even IL non-union men can be en-
ployed to take the places Of the men
who were locked out yesterday their
going on the job might cause the
union steel workers, carpenters,
painters and others to quit.
This labor war, therefore, is seri-
GUS enough, from the point Of view
of the housing needs as well as OF
the employment situation, to warrant
the concern SAMUEL UNTEBMYER,
chief counsel of the Lockwood Com
mittee, feels in the matter. The
peace parley proposed by him, how
ever, may not be SO good in the long
run either for the building industry
or for the public. Building costs are
so terrifically high in New York that
there is no chance of moderate rents,
do what the Legislature will with
temporary tax exemption on new
construction.
1t is the amount of money that
goes into building house that pri-
marily determines how much rent
must be charged to make fair re-
turn on the investment and to take
care of depreciation. Tax exemp-
tion, which does not touch funda-
mental costs. can never alter that
fact. AS for the future, the more
excess cost that goes into a building
the worse 1t Is going to be for the
owner and the tenants when the pc
riod of tax exemption ends, because
when the taxes do become payable
and payable on an inflated valuation
held up by excessive building costs,
that much more will have to be added
to the rent. New York will then see
the anomaly. after years Of postwar
conditions, Of rents actually going ur
when by all the laws Of economic
readjustment they should be coming
down.
Reasonable rents are so essential tc
the health. comfort and well being
of the public, reasonable rents are
so vital to the welfare of the city
itself, that il there is no other way
to get them the war in the building
trade might better be fought to q
finish.

versity of California early this year
announced that earth movements
precede as well as follow earthquakes.
observations. he said. showed that
preceding the earthquakes of 1858
and 1906 the earth In the Bolinas
region. California. moved as much
as twenty-four feet. and that the
movement was noticeable over con-
siderable area. The creep of the
earth or the gradual change in lati-
tude. it was believed. could be taken
as an indication of approaching earth
tremor. According to some of the
adherents Of this theory earthquakes
could be predicted just as changes
in the weather are now foretold.
Professor LAWSON, however. did not
go so far in ascribing benefits to
his discovery.
II is a strange thing that two Of
the most noted earthquake forecasts
were not by seismologists but by for
tune teilers. A London prophet fore
told the great Jamaica earthquake
within a day of its occurrence. An
old Italian woman, local seer, fore
told six months in advance the Mes
sina disaster. Their predictions were
merely lucky guesses.
1t may be safely said that at pres
ent the scientific prediction Of an
earthquake at definite place and
time is not possible. AS far as the
observer goes is to infer from condi-
tions that quake is not unlikely.
The seismologist, though. is hard at
work. He has plenty Of opportuni-
ties, for old Mother Earth has on an
average a shock every half hour.

locust trees. Locust is unsurpassed
for fence posts. II lasts longer than
cedar, and since the blight has killed
of the chestnut, which was used for
fencing, it is In great demand. There
is not a farmer in this State who
could not follow with advantage to
himself and posterity the policy pur-
sued by WILLIAM WOODWARD at his
Belair Farm in Prince Georges
county, Maryland, where 10000 young
locusts have been planted on hill

for home use or to sell. will give a
good return on the cost of planting
and raising.
Oak is another fencing material
that could be grown on farms to ad-
vantage. A fence of oak boards

The riot outside the Earl Carroll
Theater on Sunday night should be
Investigated. If the city authorities
will not sift it to the bottom, then
the Grand Jury should do SO. 1t was
@ disgraceful event.
First it should be established
whether the overflow meeting was or
was not legally held. If the speakers
and their auditors were within their
rights the police should not have in
terfered. Free speech, as guaranteed
by the Constitutions Of the nation and
the State. must not be abridged. New
York has not forgotten the Town
Hall incident of year ago, when the
Police Headquarters clique flagrantly
violated the Constitutions.
Not that 1t is the right Of persons
to assemble where and when they
will. Their constitutional privilege
in this respect is subject to laws made
for the general welfare. No gather
ing which blocks trafic or incites
disorder can be justified by quoting
the Constitution. Nor does the con-
stitutional guaranty Of freedom of
speech license the utterance Of law
less speeches.
If the overflow meeting at the Earl
Carroll Theater was illegal. then an
Investigation should determine why
the police were beaten by the mob.
The police of New York are not in
tho habit OF being defeated. The
rank and file consist OF ten thousand
strong and courageous men. With
the right system at Police Headquar-
ters there is no imaginable riot that
should not be quelled by them within
an hour, no matter in what quarter
Of the town it occurred.
Yet this serious disturbance took
place at Seventh avenue and Fiftieth
street-almost in the heart of the
city. Is 1t possible that the machin-
cry at Police Headquarters is so shot
TO pieces that a hundred or thou
sand policemen cannot be called to
the center of the city to save their
comrades from being beaten?
"The Police Department" said
Mayor HYLAN at his home in Brook
Iyn on Sunday night, 'is in the high
est state of efficiency" At that very
moment 500 men and women were
not only defying the orders Of the
police to disperse but were beating
them back-and Police Headquarters
was not sending enough police to put
down the disturbance.
This is the first instance In this
generation OF the New York police
being defeated by a mob. It ought
to be the last.
