In the early '7os the Sioux had left
the ample new reservation allotted TO
trem and were scattered over the coun-
try from Deadwood to the Missouri
River in bands of from 20 TO 300.
They killed few men, for they were
smart enough to know that they could
not withstand even the small detach-
ments of the United States Army then
stationed in that region. But any
thing else that a diabolical disposition
and life at an agency could suggest
they were In for. On one occasion they
captured a wagon train loaded with

spilled out in the snow. filling the kegs
with flour and snow, and tried to nail
up the kegs again.

The Truth About Hylanism.

Governor MILLER told the Mayors
of this State at their Poughkeepsie
conference some truths about their
problems and their constituencies
that most politicians would not dare
to utter. The Governor surely was
thinking of this city and its Mayor
and his followers when he spoke
these blunt words:
your problem Of. municipal gov
ernment is one of the most difficult
the country faces and IS one which
has not been solved. 1t Is difficult
because In the cities are congregat-
ing great masses Of people who are
unfamiliar with our institutions. un-
familiar with our manners and Gus
toms When it is very difficult to
make acquaintance with our insti-
tutions these masses of people offer
an incentive. or certainly an oppor-
tunity, for the eclf-seeker. the dema-
gogue, the charlatan to appeal to
their prejudice and their ignorance,
needs. not for the purpose of ad-
vancing the public interests. but for
the purpose of promoting the oppor-
tunities of those VINO take these
measures to secure place and po-
sition.'
That describes exactly the condi
tions which existed in the Mayoralty
campaign of 1921. HYLAN was able
to hoodwink voters into belief that
he, and none but he, stood for a
five cent fare. Some of the gullible
persons have since learned that the
five cent fare was a myth-and some
haven't learned it. Some are realiz
ing now that it is HYLAN and his
Board of Estimate who stand be
tween them and adequate transit ia
cilities; some will never realize it.
AS Governor MILLER remarked. tn,
success of the demagogues and char
latans discourages men of publ,
spirit and ability. But good citizen.

Bulgaria's Choice.
Its Sympathy With the Central En-
pires in the War.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: On your
editorial of May 20. "The Situation in
Bulgaria" desire to make one remark.
namely; That the Bulgarian people were
wholeheartedly behind Ferdinand and
the Government of Mr.. Radoslavoff for
war on the side of the Central Powers.
With the exception of Mr.. Stambouliski
there was not one other Bulgarian
leader who believed in the victory OF the
Allies. DIR. Victor Kuhne, Swiss ex-
pert on the Balkans, in his voluminous
work. THE Bulgarians as Pictured by
Themselves a work full of quota
tions from Bulgarian newspapers. and
speeches of party leaders. professors.
farmers and business men. brings out
the fact that the entire Bulgarian nation
entered enthusiastically the Central
European bloc.
In Greece. too, there was an attempt
made by Constantine to carry the ma
ton over to the German camp. but the
nation revolted, against his policy. The
Saloniki revolution proved that If Con-
stantine and palace clique were pro-
German the Greek nation was for the
Allies. In a similar way the Bulgarian
nation could have rallied around Mr..
Starnbouliski and defeated Ferdinand
and his clique. In fact. poor Mr.. Stam-
bouliski was permitted to suffer in dun
geons because he had the foresight to
see the victory of the Allies and the
courage to denounce the pro-Germans Of
Bulgaria.
OF course these are things of the past
which we must now forget. But think
another to deny his sin.

To THE NEW York HERALD: 1t is an
astonishing tribute to the strength of

Tests for Lawyers.
In 1885 Noah Webster Feared the
Effect of FOrmalities in Justice.


To THE NEW YORK HERALD Discus.
sion has been aroused among lawyers
as to what qualifications should be re-
quired of applicants for admission to the
bar, and more recently a stir has been
created among those now in practice
as to TIE effect or consistency of the
arbitration court.
May inject the belief that law di-
vested of its technicalities must prove a
short cut to Justice?
1t may perhaps be interesting on these
subjects to quote the words of Noah
Webster in his description of the city of
New York in 1886:
Ali free Governments abound with law
yers. Where men have the privilege of
thinking and acting for themselves they
VIII involve themselves In debt and quar-
rel with their neighbors. In proportion to
the debts and disputes of the people law
yers will multiply. OF these America fur
nishes plentiful growth and New York
has its share. In this State the practice
of law is conformed to the English mode;
and is. perhaps, better regulated than in
the other States.
The several degrees in the profession
tho number OF critical examinations that
candidates are obliged to pass through
before they can be admitted as counsel
ors In the higher courts; together with
the time of study required by the rules of
admission, render an access TO the first
honors of the bar so difficult as to
preclude ignorant pretenders to the i'm
portant science of law. New York can
boast Of many men eminent in a very
liberal profession and which has hitherto
furnished America with some of her most
able legislators.
1t is, however. TO be feared that too
rigid adherence TO the forms of legal
process in England has sometimes per-
picked the road to Justice and prevented
valuable improvements in the practice
not only Of this but most of the States.
