that Mr.. Untermycr's presence at Al
bany may be required to-day.
The committee counsel said in his
statement that vast legislative agencies
OF the insurance companies at Albany
are supplemented by President Ryan
OF the National Board of Undcrwrit tiers,
the chiefs of the casualty companies
and Mr. Phillips. who is head of the
bureau with which the casualty and
other lines of insurance companies are
associated. Because of Mr.. Phillps's
long residence in Albany his official
position and vast acquaintanceshop he
was the most dangerous" of the lot,
Mr.. Untermyer said, in efforts to OBJ
tain the defeat OF the insurance bills,
Mr.. Untermyer said he tried to make
it plain that if the Trade Commission
bill was killed the state would be in a
helpless situation. If the decision of
Judge Pooley, of the Supreme Court at
Buffalo, is sustained on appeal, he says
there will be no administrative ma
chlnery to suppress combinations, and
the state will be left without the pro-
lection ot the Donnelly antitrust law.
The counsel then took up the refusal
OF the Senate Cities Committee to re-
port out the bill allowing the people to
appeal from an order dismissing an in

torney of New York County and other
public officials approve this Legislation
and nobody appears to oppose it, He
cited that all the remaining indict-
ments against Robert P. Brindel were
dismissed against his protest.
"1f man who commits dozen
crimes or which he is separately in
dicted," he asserted. "is punished for
one, | insist that this is not a good
reason for freeing him from all the
others. If that is to be the rule, and
the punishment for dozen extortions
is to be the same as for one, Why
should there be any limit to the mum

want the right on behalf Of the people
to appeal from such ordcrs.'
Jail Punishment Vital
referring to the Senate committed s
refusal to report out the bill compel
ing jail sentences for vioators of the
antitrust law, Mr.. Untermyer said
that unless some such law was passed
it would be useless to try any of the
hundreds of men now awaiting trial
under existing indictments
He protested against the retention
of the state trade commission bill by
the Cities Committee. He insisted it
was the only kind of machinery
through which illegal combinations
could ever be suppressed If these
bills could be forced to a vote in the
Assembly, he said, they would be
found to be the "lvest corpses.'
MIR. Untermyer pointed out the fine

Religion in Russia.

Over the Iverskaia Chapel IN Mos
COW, dedicated to the Holy Virgin.
the communists have hung a placard
which reads Religion Is opium to
the people" That Is a merely spec
tacular instance OF the policy adopted
by the Soviet commissars toward re-
ligion and the church. Torture and
murder Of priests and desecration OF
churches have been of frequent oc-
currence since the decree Of separa-
tion of church and state was issued
in February, 1918.
In the provinces of Russia particu-
larly the attempt has been made to
prohibit attendance at religious ser
vices. Churches have been converted
into motion picture houses, into tea
rooms and into clubs. The gospel is
no longer printed in Soviet Russia.
The attacks on religion. while they
have been concentrated on the Ortho-
dox Greek Catholic Church. have been
directed against other sects OF Chris
tians. 10 is also reported that the
synagogues. Notwithstanding the pre-
ponderance OF Jews in the Soviet
Government, have not been free from
violation.
In spite OF these destructive ef-
forts there Is at the present time in
Russia a great revival OF religious
feeling The churches are filled as
they never were before. Religious
professions wind through the streets
OF Petrograd. There are great gath
erings for prayer several times in the
week.
The blindness of the communist
policy toward religion Is Of piece
with the fanaticism of the whole
Soviet enterprise. II gees plainly
enough the advantage Il would OBJ
tain through breaking down the
public morale by undermining the
church. in which the peasant, deeply
reverent. finds strength TO hold out
The New York herald., 1922-06-18

against the regime to which he Is
subjected. But it is blind to the i'm
possibility of prohibiting mans reach
ing out for spiritual comfort and
strength. Men do not adopt religion
as they do a tariff, for reasons of
practical urgency. They turn to re-
ligion as plants turn to light and
beasts come down to the jungle rivers
to drink.
The Soviet performance repeats the
course adopted by the extremists in
the French Revolution. During the
Terror observance of the Christian
Sabbath and of saints days was made
a criminal offense. CHRIST was re
placed" by the Goddess Of Reason,
and for the holy days Of the church
were substituted revolutionary festi-
walls. 90 That attempt to kill Christian
ity. to destroy all religion. was just
as unsuccessful then as the attempt
of the communists to kill 1t will be.

Prison Reform.
Its Object Is to Set Prisoners Right
After Their Discharge.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: j hope
that II will be generally understood that
we who are trying to help Improve the
proper treatment OF prisons and prison
ers in the interest Of the community are
not IN favor of coddlins the prisoners
nor of making heroes out of them.
The imprisonment of criminals in ac-
cordance with existing law can be car
ried out with the view Of serving the
public by the treatment Of prisoners In
such a way that they are likely to be
able to take care OF themselves and
their families after their discharge and
are not likely TO spread disease. either
mental or physical. The object is to
accomplish two purposes TO reform the
prisoner and to act as a deterrent
against commitment of drime.
To terrorize the criminal by torture
or other repressive methods IA futile. as
has been proved by. the experience Of
many centuries. Have the right kind
of wardens and keepers, put the pris-
oner to work. keep him employed dur
ing reasonable hours Upon work that
he can use to earn a living when he
leaves prison. and s,od .ssuts can be
expected. ApoLFH LEwfsoHN.

Making the Mails Safer.

Postmaster General Work was able
to report remarkable improves
ment in safety of the mails when he
spoke on Wednesday evening at the
State convention of postmasters In
Wilkes-Barre. Pennsylvania. The
figures he gave concerning robberies
show that the precautions taken by
the Department to protect valuables
in transit have been effective. On
this subject DR.. WORK said:
AS. you know. the. postal service
has had an epidemic of mall rob-
berries. For one year preceding April
1, 1921, the losses amounted to So.
346,4O7.
From April, of last year to. date
they have been reduced to s2.575,433
for the period. which includes the
New York loss of s1.346,150.
"On November .. 1921. the Admin
istration took drastic action by put
ting Marines on the mail trains, and
for the seven months since then the
loss has been reduced to s695.000.
"a great deal of this money has
been recovered by the inspection de-
partment. which is gradually clean
ing up the loss"
There are no records available
from. which it can be determined
whether the loss from robberies
since the Marines were put on duty
has been above or below the average.
This comparison would be worth
making. But without regard to the
record of other, years, it Is apparent
that the Department has been able to
reduce the number of robberies N 4
most gratifying degree and thus to
make the mails much safer than they
were a. few months ago.
The public cannot reasonably ex-
pcot 100 per cent. security in the
mails any more than 1t can reason
ably expect 100 per cent. security in
other human institutions handling
easily transported valuables, but it
can expect every safeguard ingenuity
can suggest to be adopted, and This
is the policy of the Department.

Two Fish Mysteries.

Thousands of fish died unaccount-
ably last summer in a number of
Minnesota lakes. A dispatch from
Wilmington, North Carolina, reports
that thousands more fish, ranging in
size from inch long ground feeders to
along the North Carolina coast from
some mysterious cause. The Pender
county and Topsail Sound beaches
have been so thickly strewn with
them that the health authorities have
forbidden the sale of fish caught
within hundred miles of the scene
of mortality.
An investigation of the Minnesota
fish resulted in finding that the
cause of death was lack of air. The
fish were smothered. This was the
opinion Of BARRY ]. ANsoN, assistant
scientist of the Fisheries Biological
Station at Fairport, Iowa. Mr.. ANsoN
reached the conclusion that the fish
died from lack of oxygen induced by
a hot, dry summer In which we're
many calm days. There was not
enough wind stirring to create wave
action and aerate the water. In the
absence OF wave action surface water
is not sufficiently mixed with the air
TO absorb that life giving oxygen
without which neither fish. flesh nor
fowl can live.
The lake fish died OF suffocation;
they were drowned. just as air breath
ing animals when submerged in water
are drowned. Through their gills
fish breathe at varying rates ranging
from thirty resplrations to the min
ute in the perch to sixty to the min
ute in the mullet. oxygen in solu-
tion is absorbed to keep the fish alive.
The accuracy Of this post mortem
diagnosis Of the lake fsh deaths was
the subject Of good deal Of debate
in Minnesota. The State Game and
Fish Commissioner caused the Anson
report 20 be printed In full. AL
though the explanation Is regarded by
some as rather far fetched, nobody
as yet has been able to suggest a
better one.
In the North Carolina case two
theories have been advanced. Or.

presses the opinion that the fish In

McCumber Sees a Light.

PORTER j. McCUMBER. United States
Senator from North Dakota, went
some distance in self-appointed die
tatorship when he resolved to pass
his bonus bill in the face of the dis
approval and contempt of the Amer
ican people.
Senator McCUMBER went a great
deal further when he set out TO jam
his bonus bill through against the
will of the best craftsmanship and
soundest character represented in the
United States Senate
And Senator McCUMBER went way
beyond the limit when in his frenzy
last week he threatened to blud-
geon his bonus bill through against
the opposition of the American peo-
pie. the responsible Republican men,
bership of the Senate and the Presi-
dent of the United States.
In that state of mind Senator
MCCUMBER seemed to think he had
become the whole United States Gov
ernment and American nation, and
he then decided to sidetrack the
tariff for the bonus. But If he hasn't
come to his senses, at least he has
been brought up with round turn.
Anyhow, after shifting his gaze
from his own imagined grandeur to
the attitude of the majority control
standing with the President OF the
United States in this matter, he. has
decided he will not give his bonus
bill the right of way over all other
legislation on the calendar. The SEN
ate. in sympathy and cooperation
with the President, will be permitted
to dispose of its business in its own
way.
So the Senate will go on with con-
sideration Of the tariff bill, which
McCUMBER had decreed must be
brushed aside for the bonus bill. And
perhaps. after the tariff bill has been
disposed of, Senator McCUMBER will
make still another appraisal of his
self-constituted autocracy and dis
cover that, even when his bonus bill
does come up for action, legislative
and executive, neither he nor IL is
bigger than both branches of Con-
gress, the President of the United
States and the country.

Captain Blake's Explanation Of the
Dollars Flight.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD Captain
Blake. for years in command Of the
Charles MacAllister. the only boat per-
mitted to land sightseers at Mount ver-
non for many years. was very fond Of
his Joke and mixed freely with the
strangers who made the pilgrimage to
washington's home on the Potomac.
The Potomac mtst be several miles
across at Mount Vernon. AS the boat
neared Its destination Captain Blake
would sidle up to group and In his
inimitable manner engage In conver-
sation. Presently he would be speaking
OF George Washington and In casual
manner remark well. George was
great boy why. he threw a silver dollar
across the river here" In response to
the many and loud protests the captain
would iaconicaiiy answer: "weIl. you see,
A dollar went further In those DAYS"

ming during series of recent violent
electric storms off the coast. A geolo-
gist holds the theory that subaque-
Gus earthquakes are responsible for
the mortality. Since the terrible
earthquake which ruined Charleston.
South Carolina. in 1886, dwellers on
the coast of the Carolinas are per-
haps prepared to believe almost any
thing about earthquakes.
Meantime the experts of the Gov
ernment Fisheries Bureau have been
asked to visit the scene and investi-
gate. That the dead fish were there
and there in great numbers is uncon-
troverted. At that point fact ends
and theorizing begins.

appeal to the readers Of your paper in
an effort to interest them in a plan to
bring music to the patients in the rn,i-

says that music Is of the greatest value
In breaking the long tedium Of the day.

gives the patients something to dream
about"
Plans are under way to hold regular
concerts In the municipal hospitals this
summer. These will be given under the
direction of the music committee OF the

Canada Builds Wisely.

However other countries may be
getting along, Canada is prosperous
and contented. So declared the Do
minion's new High Commissioner on
his recent arrival in England. Mr..
LARKIN is quoted as saying:
Canada is now a most prosperous
State. probably the most prosperous
State In the world. with less unem-
ployment than In the United States.
and she has no Internal difficulties to
contend with"
/. The Canadians, Mr.. LARKIN went
on. are very comfortable to-day, and
that is the reason why the Dominion
wants quality in immigration rather
than numbers. The requirement that
an immigrant must have $3.50 to be
admitted into Canada Is still in
force, though the High Commissioner
thinks some relaxation Of this rule
might be made in the case OF domes-
tic servants.
What Canada especially desires to
do Is ito restore a better balance
between the agricultural and the
urban population. We certainly do
not want immigration at all costs.
We want people who are prepared
to come and work on the land. We
do not want to add to our town popu-
lation. OF farmers of the right Kind
we could take any number"
In these words the new High Com
missioner has laid down a policy
which would be beneficial to any
country. The United States, like Can
ada, could absorb any number of
agriculturists Of the right kind.
Farming being the true basis Of all
prosperity, Canada is working in the
right direction to make permanent
her present enviable condition.
