Liquidating a Republic

From time to time in the worlds
history there have been difficulties in
establishing republics. But De Va
lera. with inAexible logic, demon
strates it is harder to liquidate one
His argument is simple. One
Easter Sunday group of two or
three hundred armed men seized q
postoffice, captured printing press
and issued q proclamation announc-
ing the creation Of a republic. There
was no election or any asking of pub
lic consent. The new organization
was not and then it was. The
agents of the government" prompt
ly took to the high timber and there
after, until London authorized them
to emerge from hiding. functioned
chiefly in the night time But their
structure was more durable than one
of steel or brass.
Dc Valera keeps his face straight
as ne argues that this "republic" is
SO indestructible that those vlsibly
composing it cannot merge or trans
form 1t 20 another form of political
organization. 1t is to go down the
ages untouched and unchanged. For
on further reflection De Valera WILL
OF course. sec that not even the Irish
people can bring it TO an end. To
consult the people it would be nee
cssary to have plebiscitc c'ection
and it is nowhere provided in the
Sim Fein constitution that the issue
of liquidation can be submitted. SO
an election to this end could not be
legally held. Dc Valera, when
astridc of syllogism, is terrific
verbal warrior.
During the thousand years Of its
recorded history Ireland, or parts Of
it, has seen many different kinds of
government. According to the De
Valera reasoning, they still exist.
The republic of the T'enians may
also claim to be immortal. Ireland
may we'll. it would seem. be congrat-
ulated on dispensing with the public
services Of Dc Valera.

government, with headquarters at

Siberian Railway on the
Pacific.
1t is not a large town, nor is it
an old town. But it is--or, rather,
after the loss Of Port Arthur it be

Of attack against Japan. To-day, in
the hands of Japan. it not only gives
the Japanese great power over East
ern Siberia, but secures Japan
against Russian attack. Naturally,
Russians resent this occupation and
al factions unite in crying, "Out
with the Japanese
On the other hand, the japanese
feel that great Russian base so
near their homeland is a serious
threat. Now the danger is slight.
But what will be the state Of af-
fairs when Russia is once more on
her feet?
The old antagonisms between
Russia and Japan have not disap-
peared The fundamentals Of the
antagoNism persist Russia's steady
move eastward long ago made her
menace to the Far East. One of
the purposes of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance was to counteract her de-
signs. The tendency toward i'm
perlalism IS already plainly manifest
in the present Soviet government;
and despite the diatribes of parlor
Bolshevists against expansion and
militarsm there is reason to believe
that the Russians will soon resume
their pressure in the East.
Japan, therefore, is thinking care
fully Of the day when Russia again
will be strong. The presence of the
great naval base of a hostile power
within short distance Of her island
home is naturally disturbing. When
Japan evacuates Nladivostok, there
fore, she may be expected to de-
mand that Russia be forbidden to es-
tabllsh great naval base there.

Contrasts in Homicides

Current statistics show extraor-
dinary variations in the numbers of
homicides in the chief cities and
remarkable parallel between the
numbers of homicides and the num-
Eers Of lynchings.
Thus, in Atlanta in 1920 lynch-
ings were at the ratio Of 4O.9 to the
100000 population, and in Savan-
nah they were at the rate of IA to
the 100000. and in Georgia in the
last thirty-five years there We're 52S
lynchings. In Charleston homicides
were at the rate Of 36.5, and there
were 121 lynchings in South Caro-
lima. Memphis had 63.4 homicides
to the 100000 and Tennessee q to-
tai of 1913 lynchings. In New Or
leans the homicide rate was 16.9 and
in Louisiana the number of lynch
ings was 2S9.
On the other hand, in Baltimore
the homicide rate was only 7 to the
100000, and the number of lynch
ings in Maryland was only 20. Gin

Thanks From Wards Island

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer is an ex-solder
Of the World War, under treatment in
the Manhattan State Hospital on
Wards Island, taking training in the
vocational school for rehabilitation.
There are about 250 other ex-service
men in the hospital. l have been ap-
pointed by the cx-service men to ex-
press our appreciation Of the wonder
full Christmas and New Year holiday
season enjoyed by US.
We are grateful to the American
Red Cross, the American Legion posts.
the American World War Relief Asso-
citation and many others who con-
tributed so much to make us forget
our troubles and to enjoy the holidays
while being restricted Of our liberty.
We were presented with many useful
and appropriate gifts, and number of
musical and vaudeville entertainments
were rendered US. The boys think it
only right and proper that those who
contributed to our be.termcnt should
receive our thanks.
In this connection I wish to say for
the cx-service men that the hospital
authorities and the Federal depart
ment are doing all in their power to
rehab'litate US, and as an assurance
to the public, our relatives and friends
want to infosm them that aside

cinnati had 81 homicides and Ohio
had 20 lynchings. Milwaukee had a
homicide rate of and Wisconsin
had only S lynchings. San Fran
cisco's homicide rate was 7.G and
California's lynchings were SO. In
New York City homicidcs in 1890
were SO to the 100000, and in New
York State in thirty-five years there
were only 2 lynchings. In Phila-
delphia the homicides were 6.2 and
in Pennsylvania the lynchings we're
cnly 6. In Boston the homicide rate
Was 81 and Massachusetts had not
n single lynching.
In the face Of such figures it is
impossible to ignore a very direct
relationship between the lvnching
habit and the commission of homi-
eide. New York City has mixed
and largely turbulent population,
and has more homicides than it
should have. Yet it has in propor-
ton to its population only about one
seventh as many as Atlanta. And
III New York State there have been
only two lynchings in thirty-tivc
years. while in Georgia, with far
smaller population, there have been
o2S. Such contrast cxplodcs the
claim that lynching is crime de-
tcrrcnt.

Forgiving a Fortune

Charles Garland, the young New
England would-be idealist who a
year ago sternly bade a fortune of
a million dollars never to darken his
door, has now sent word to it that
if it will come back all will be for
given. Mr.. Garland refused to har
Dor this million because he said it
was tainted. He did not charge
that his father, who left it to him,
obtained it under false pretenses or
robbed the poor and needy of it, but
he did assert that it was the product
of system which is blind to the
truth that the hungry should be fed
and the naked clothed"
1t is now apparent that the
statute of limitations has run
against the guilt of this particular
million. Time is great remover of
taint The hidden treasure of Kidd,
could it be resurrected now, would
probably not be refused even as
campaign contribution to Socialist
candidate for Presid ident.
Garland's acceptance of the
money is, on the whole, gratifying.
If he had proved obdurate to the
end it would, like the buried talent,
lave merely occupied valuable
space without making any addition
to productivity. Nov that he has

More Links

1t is good news for golfers that
John N. Harman, Brooklyn Park
Commissioner, looks forward to a
municipal links at Dyker Beach in
Bay Ridge. AS opportunity offers it
would seem good judgment for the
city to set aside or acquire suitable
land for as many public eighteen
hole courses as will certainly be
needed in a few years.
New York has Tagged behind other
cities, particularly those in the West.
in its provision for healthful and
Increasingly popular sport. The few
linkE that we have are good, but the
congestion Of players has reached
such point that the game is robbed
of most of its enjoyment. That SO
many will still persist with their
mashies and niblicks at Van Cort-
landt Park in spite of all delays and
discomforts is evidence that the
game has firm hold. A thousand
new golfers in New York every year
would be modest estimate. Half
q dozen new links would not more
than care for the present demand.
If land is available the users Of
the links will gladly stand the ex-
pease of the upkeep. Green fees can
be charged for that purpose. They
need not be high.
Membership in private country
clubs has become too great a lux
ury for many who would make no
small sacrifice to feel under their
feet the velvet putting green. More
over, there are long waiting lists.
If everybody in Scotland has a
chance to play golf, why not likewise
in New York? Let us have more
public links! AS the goling army
increases mayor may yet be elected
on that slogan.

of business men, like the fur dealers,
have decided to organize their own
police forces. New York has large

But the epidemic Of crime is plainly
too much for any efforts that the
city constabulary, as at present di-
rected, are able to put forth. Life
and property arc more insecure in
New York to-day than they were in
the mining camps Of the sos. Bur-
glary insurance is steadily soaring
and crimes Of violence are so COM
mon as hardly to command more
than passing attention.
Clearly it is high time for un-
usual measures, even if they involve
the invoking of national aid, as West
Virginia was compelled to do to put
down violence in Mingo County.
