Mrs. North's Candidacy

To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: 1t seems to be the general i'm
preston at least down state, that Miss
iayl0r' OF "estchester County, is the
oniy woman running for Judge of the
juvenile Court, in the State of New
'ork' under the Republican organiza-
tion. On August i of this wear tba
clinton County Republican Committee
endorsed Mrs. Luella R. North If
Plattsburg, for this office. and sba
was nominated in the primaries last
tuesday without opposition. Mrs
North is peculiarly we'll equipped TO
hold this important position if she is
elected, and we intend that she sba,,

This articulation, according to the
Mason City dispatch, was no mere
translation by o. dotiDg parent OF
the gurgle that all babies emit in
their hours of contentnent. The con-
sonants were distinctly sounded.
Even the eth" sound, which NO hui

Already are pseudo-scientists at
work upon an explanation of
this amazing precocity, one of
them insisting that q prenatal
influence, stronger even than in
stinct, moved the infant to
speak o word that babes of more ad-
vanced ages are only able to render
as mamma. There is, however, an
other and moro practical explana-
tion. Mason City has for something
like seventy years led life of iso-
lation and obscurity, its only other
dash at the limelight being when
ii became known that Hanford Mac
Nider, head Of the American Legion,
was born there.

of Winsted, whose reputation ex-
tends even to the iowa cornields, it

Evacuatirag Saghalin

The Island Of Saghalin is once
more in the news. Originally be-
longing to Siberia, the southern por-
tlon was ceded to Japan after the
Russo-Japanese War. The northern
half remained under Russian con-
trol until the collapse Of the empire.
when, following a massacre Of Ian.
anese citizens, it was occupied bv
japan, and has since been retained
by that nation.
The occupation aroused the pro-
test Of the Wilson Administration
and while the issue was carefully
avoided in the Washington confer
ence 1t appears that Mr.. Hughes in
MS note asserting that a moral
trusteeship of Russian TERRITORY in
the Far East devolved upon the
world included Saghalin within this
territory, therefore following the
Wilson policy.
What Japan Intends to do is NOT
yet clear. She has repeatedly
avowed her intention of evacuatinp,
siberian territory when the time is
ripe, and according to some indica-
tlons she is merely seeking an ex-
cuse to justify in the eyes Of her.
own people her withdrawal from
russian Saghalin in the near fu-
ture. Moscow, however, hints that
Tor consideration Russia is WILLING
to permit the japanese to remain
there- Karl Radek, on the other
hand, who at times speaks with an
thority for the soviets, asaerts that
RUSSIA never will consent to 8
cesslon of the island to Japan.
It is likely that in this instance
Radek is right. One of the few
'hings upon which nearly all Rus
slans' regardless of politics, are
agreed Is that the integrity of the
territories of the old empire nps+

Labor Indorses Miller

The Transit Commission, brought
into being by Governor Miller. is
proceeding with a comprehensive
plan for the extension of the SUBJ
way system in New York. Because
this plan is practical and provides
for future building, it will mean con
tinuous and profitable employment
for labor in this city.
Other constructive measures orig
mated by the Governor and put into
execution for him will provide
hundant work for labor on various
state improvements. This service,
which is practical and of real value,
though performed without blare of
trumpets or demagogic vainglory,
mas been recognized in letter from
shiIty-four representative labor men
# New York City, urging State
Chairman Glynn to use his influence
TO secure the consent of Governor
Miller to become candidate for re-
nomination.
It is significant that the work of
the Governor has been thus appre-
ciated The interest of labor in eff
eient and businesslike state govern
ment is exactly the same as the in
serest of capital. Economic admin
istration keeps down taxes, lower

Who Burned SMYRNA?

With the established American
distrust Of the Turk it is easy to
( convince the public here that the
burning of Smyrna was the deliber-
ate act Of the Turkish military COM
manders. Assumption plays larger
part In this process than proof. The
Nationalist army entered Smyrna,
The city was burned Therefore the
Nationalist army burned 1t.
In fairness several other factors
ought to be taken into considera
&ion. The Greeks were being ex-
PEELED from the city and from Asia
after a two years occupation. The
turks were re-entering into posses
sion. Which side, other things be-
ing equal, would be more tempted
to arson? Smyrna was also filled
with Greek refugees from the in
terror, with whom the Turks had
many scores to settle. All the ele-
ments Of riot, disorder, looting and
destruction of property were there.
Mr.. Mark 0. Prentiss, special rep
resentative of the Near East Relief
III Smyrna, cabled to "The New
York Tines last Saturday:
Il hear, and firmly believe, MANY
stories Of Greek atrocities and have
abundant evidence that the Grest
army distributed enormous quantities
Oh ammunition among the civilians in
smyrna and encouraged and organ
lied sniping and bombing.
again urge Americans to believe
that there is divided responsibility
for this terrible situation. and asj,
'hem to render succor in great quan-
lty, not for any nationals or creeds.
put endeavor to relieve the terrible
suffering Of helpless children"
This is a fair statement from an
observer on the spct. Most Of the
early news came from Greek sources
and was naturally highly colored
Inc later news tends to support the
view OF Mr., Prentiss. Smyrna prob
ably burned more because Of civilian
disorder than Of military barbaritv.
american interest Should be concen-
trated not on fixing the blame on
the Turks or the Greeks, but on re-
heving common distress.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
The Wise Old Fowl

The robin and the o1'iole
Get round the world bit.
When blizzards hurry from the
pole
They pack their grips and fit.
They spread their wings in every
cline,
They visit pleasant lands,
And seldom ever does their time
Hang heavy on their hands.
A different bird is old Jim Crow
He doesn't care to roam
In blazing sun or chilling snow;
lie always stays at home.
he has no taste for strange de-
lights
In unknown lands, has Jim;
The homely and familiar sights
Are good enough for him.
The robin and the oriole.
Despite their happy song,
Consider Jim a simple soul
Whose views Of life are wrong
They give him a contemptuous
gaze
AS southward they depart,
Despising the home keeping ways
Of his provincial heart.
But generations of them die
In travels here and there:
They tumble, weary, from the sky
AS on their flights they fare.
But old Jim Grow thinks his wav
best,
No accidents he fears:
He just sticks round the old home
nest,
And lives hundred years!

Back to Law and Order

The finding of 2l4 true bills
against persons concerned IN the
Herrin massacre forty four fer
murder, lifty-eight for conspiracy to
murder, ffty-eight for riotng and
fifty-four for assault with intent ID
murder - comes coincidenly with
Judge Wilkerson's decision in the
rail shopcrafts injunction case that
union officials conducting strikes
can no longer conveniently wash
their hands Of crimes committed in
support of strikes. These two ass
sertiona Of the supremacy Of law
and order are noteworthy, They
may make impossible Continuation
Of the all too common union policy
Of encouraging violence while at
the same time ostcnsibly rcpudiat-
ing it.
Two prominent union leaders we're
indicted for murder, They arc Hugh
Willis, member Of the state execu-
tive board Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, anu VIII
Davis, secretary treasurer Of the
Herrin district union. These men
and others engaged in what the Will
Hanson County Grand Jury finds to
nave been Il widespread conspiracy.
The attack on the strip mine work
ers. members of the Steam Shovel
Mems Union, was precipitated, it
says, by the receipt of q message
from John j.. Lewis, the president
Of the United Mine Workers of
America, in which the latter wrote:
Representative of CUR organiza-
,tion are justified In treating this
crowd as an outlaw organization
and In viewing its members in the
same light as they do any other
common strike breakers"
Such direction, as understood at
Herrin, meant that the steam shovel
union men had no rights which the
local strikers were bound to respect.
In view of the fact that the Sheriff
of the county was a union man and
would not ask for troops to preserve
order, although repeatedly urged by
representative of the Adjutant
Generals staff to do so, Mr.. Lewis's
dispatch was inevitably the signal
for the beginning of private war
fare.
The union terrorized Williamson
County for a time. The operation
N. of justice was paralyzed. But the
s agencies Of the court and public
sW opinion have at last brought men
charged with conspiracy to the stage
of trial. To this extent there has
been a creditable return TO standards
Of law and order.
The trials will show whether
anarchy and savagery are to be
tolerated merely because they play
into a unions hands and are
fomented directly or indirectly by
union officials. What priority has
one lawbreaker over another, or one
/ organization seeking to benefit by
crimes over another? The William
son County Grand Jury says there
j is no such priority. The Wilkerson
opinion would drive that dictum
home by holding that heads of labo-
organizations engaging in crime
may not hereafter mechanically
plead ignorance of enormities from
which strike is to profit.
