COAL CONTROL

l. legislature by Assemblyman Cosgrove
providing for the appointment Of d State
commission to control the production, trans
portation. distribution and sale Of coal
wood and coal products is not likely to be
passed, but II is symptomatic. as the mcdi-
cal men would say.
1t will not be- passed because Mr.. Co.'S
grove is a Democrat and the Legislature is
Republican, No important measure intro
duced by Il member Of the opposition ever
becomes law. The party in power insists,
and rightly On framing all bills thut receive
its approval.
But there is undoubtnd dissatisfaction
with the method Of distribution and selling
OF coal, not only in New York, bat in every
other State. About twenty years ago David
Il. Hill. then n United States senator, pro-
posed that the Federal Government take
over all the coal mEeS. This was when
mining had stopped because of strike in
the anthracite fields and coal wa selling for
the unprecedented price of $l5 ton, and
was difficult to get even then.
The price of coal has been rs high as il
wPe in 1902 for many months without any
strike 70 interrupt production. II the con
sumcrs can get relief in no other way the
proposition Of Mr. Hill, which was ridi-
culrI at the time, may begin 10 receive

WAR NEURCSiS

CyENATOR BRANDEGEE'S suggestion
- that qualified neurologists be appointed
to determine. BY direct examination,
whether much Of the testimony given to q
congressional committee by former soldiers
who told of murder and official abuses in
the army was not the result Of war ncurosis
is not so irrational as 1t will sound to some
people. 1t is apparent that at least Il frw
former soldiers--notably one or two of those
who have been writing bookS-Aave been
permitting their hatred Of war TO turn into
hatred of all the means by which ordinarily
peaceful people had to save themselves from
conquest.
But why SHOULD the neurologtsts limit
their attention to former soldiers? Half the
people Of the world are still touched with
war neurosis Of one form or another. What
else Is the matter with the ruling group Of
French politicians? WHY is nervous su>oi-
cion and hate of neighboring countries
prevalent In almost every land? Why do
some members of Congress jump when you
talk OF anything like normal relationships
with Europe?
IL 1t were possible TO sweep out Of the
collective mind Of humanity three quarters
Of the impressions created by manufactured
war propaganda, all peoples would be able
to view the world nationally and fewer pro-
fessors would be writing gloomy volumes
expressive of doubt Of the ability Of our
present civilization to endure.

tentions against the sugar crop. Cuba was
our ally during the war and naturally the
protection which we were enabled to afford
her interests was not resented
But conditions changed when the occupa-
tton seemed to acquire a permanent aspect.
For the last two years there has not been
the slightest excuse for maintaining Ameri-
can troops in Camaguey.
With considerable patience the Cubans
have pleaded for withdrawal of the de-
tachment. Senor Cespedes in Washington
has lately pressed the case. Hts arguments
were recently re- enforced by General
Crowder in his report on conditions in the
island.
To cap the climax, there have been ac-
counts of friction between the natives and
the tiny army Of occupation, or 2T5 men.
Secretary DENLY has issued the order for
retirement.
The occupation was in no sense an in
stance Of deliberate aggression. Its singu-
larity consists in its obscurity. Both the
Government and the public seemed TO have
forgotten II fact of which the Cubans were
only too well aware. The lost legion was
serving no purpose save that Of illustrating
gaps in official machinery.
Mr.. DENLY is to be congratulated for
categorically authorizing the retreat. The
marines will be moved to Guantanamo, the
United States Naval Station in Cuba fully

no such warranty. 1t is a curious. yet

THE THIRD DECREE AGAIN

MOT long ago we took occasion to refer
~ in these columns to an obvious DISPOSE
ton Of police in all American cities to put
increasing dependence upon the Third De-
gree-that method of secret torture and ter
rorism by which detectives attempt to force
from suspects the sort Of information which
they themselves have not the initiative or
the intelligence TO obtain in legitimate ways.
Now the Third Degree is coming pretty
generally into print. Reasons are accumu-
lating to force the public to general
scrutiny OF It. Magistrate Corr!gan, in
New York, who has had long experience
with police technique as 1t is applied in
cities, has just sent n patrolman to Jail for
beating a man whom he had first locked up.
mo citizen said the magistrate, whether
he is innocent or guilty, can feel safe from
the abuses Of the Third Degree"
Even more significant Is the nature Of the
defense being prepared for Luther Boldly.
the Negro caught in this city and sent to
New York to stand trial for the killing Of
two detectives who had arrested him.
Boddy'S lawyers will charge that their client
had been so regularly m0ulcd and abused in
police stations by detectives who sought TO
force from him information which he did
not possess, that fear OF policemen became
an obseSsiCn in him and that terror finally
drove him temporarily insane. Exaggerated
as such claims may be, there is enough
background to them TO indicate a need for
general examination Of the theory upon
which the practice OF the Third Degree Is
established.
It is n matter Of general knowledge that
suspects arrested under criminal charges are
often beaten. threatened and otherwise NAL
treated behind the closed doors of police
bureaus. Innocent men have been sub
jected TO this sort Of terrorism. And there
is no process of law by which even innocent
persons may hope To save themselves from
actual torture IL circumstantial evidence
happens to point against them. The Third
Degree is applied Immediately after an
arrest as usual thing. and before the
accused has an opportunity 10 engage or
communicate with a lawyer.
In answer TO criticism of this relatively
new and extra legal practice the police will
say that they have nowadays 70 deal with
n peculiarly shrewd and ConsConcelesS lot
Of criminals. that criminals are often organ
lied for their own defense and that police
organizations have not been expanded and
equipped 10 cope on even grounds with
hab!tuul violators Of the law. All this is
in a sense true. But il is seriously to be
doubted whether such knowledge should not
lead to better md more scientific police
methods rather than to the establishment
Of methods of torment which were supposed
10 have been cast aside in the Middle Ages.

BOOK "RoMANcE" AND REAL

THE newspapers just now are giving ac-
u counts of two 'romances" such as fur
nfsb the raw material for considerable con-
temporary fiction.
The fiction is welcomed with unmcaSurcd
praise by a certain school of critics with
whom the so-called puritanism Of America
is unpopular. The men who write il. we
are told, are the first adults to study the
human scene as it is unfoldCd before our
eyes. Their books are called strong stuff,
''virile" and realistic their predecessors
Hyed In the nursery, told fairy tales for
little children, and ignored the basic fact
that men and women are animals with pas
sions whose qualification without regard to
consequences is the chief motive of life.
The moderns are selecting their characters
from the barnyard, clothing them in the
garments of men and women and Guessing
over their bestinities with Mephistophelean
sophistications about sclf-exprcssion and
s1iving ones own life In ones own way"
Playing with passion IS ike playing with
firearms. The person with the weapon may
think 1t is not loaded but there is no know
ing whether it is loaded or not until the
bullet hits its mark. Passion in one of
these "romances' was loaded and a man
and a woman are dead as a result, and an
innocent baby has n slayer for mother.
This is dramatic, it is true. All drama IS
the conflict Of two wills or two emotions
and the climax comes with the final clash.
But no history OF such a clash of emotions
or wills is complete which does not tell the
whole story, beginning with the sowing OF
the dragons teeth of selfshness and ending
with the crop Of armed devils that tear the
victims limb from limb. Romance in
real life is sQualid. bestial and destructive.

IF BRYAN COMES BACK

TT WILL be nice to have William Jcn-
i nings Bryan back in public ife-!f the
people Of Florida are determined to send

Mr.. Bryan Is vivid and versatile per-

stage with a lot Of the good and wholesome
stuff of old fashioned drama to remind US
pleasantly of the America that used to be
before the war. These returns Of the old
stars are always welcome. They touch the
heart and they revive fond memories. Mod

WANTED--A GENOA PROGRAM

ENNEN Mr.. Lloyd George, that conspicu-
- ous champion of the Genoa Conference,
has rcfraincd from outlining its possible
procedure.
Concerning general principles, the Brit
ish Prime Minister has waxed enthusiastic.
He has pictured a conclave engaged in the
vital task of rchabilitating Europe.
The entire world is in a mood to applaud
this sketch. There is no argument about
the need for recovery or the necessity of
substituting cooperation and friendly ac-
cord for dark suspicious and antagonisms.
But the conference to be useful must be
more than a pretentious mouthpicce for
avowCd commonplaces. The delegates at
Cannes realized this need and were at work
upon definite program-agCnda, In the
diplomatic l!ngo--when the Poiucare revolt
turned back the currents Of progress.
But there are often limits TO the most
sensational obstructionism. and indications
are not wanting that morning after proc
csScs are already at work in France. Phi
lilpe Millet foreign editor of the Petit
Parisien, frankly asserts that this greatest
European democracy must abandon It's
reckless career of self -delusion if 1t wishes
The Midi, this same discerning commen-
tntor cmphatcolly informs his countrymcn,
scouts rho fantastic idea Of foreign plots
against France, and attributes the attitude
Of other nations, particularly the United
States, to misgivings sincerely If reluc-
family entertained.
It Is the hest of signs that the French
sense of realities. long regarded as a ma
tional characteristic, appears to be reawHk-
encd. As additional proof Of this revival,
there IRE the actions Of NJ. Poincare. which.
when analyzed. scarcely measure up to the
pugnacity of his pronouncements.
This clearing OF the air, however. in
creases the responsibilities OF the engineers
Of the Genoa meeting. The agcnda makers
should resume their work, rudc!y int"r-
rupted few weeks ago.
While it is unreasonable to De violently
skeptcal of Lloyd Georges panacca before
It Is even tried, there IS nothing extrava-
CANT in the desire for an itemlzed list Of
subjects 10 be discussed at the conference
and for some exact definition OF the status
of the guests
1T may be presumed that Colonel Harvey
was in quest Of information on these lines
in his interview with Premier Poincare.
The frank participation Of France in the
parley would unqueStionably go far to re-
move the fears of obscurantism raised when
the long suffering BRAND resigned
1t IS absurd to suggest that America IS
not interested in the Genoa project. But
it would be equally unwlsc 70 take part in
proceedings the character Of which had not
been clearly set forth il advance. 4 play

as so momentous Is essential.
Much Of the success of the Washington
Conference can be ascribed TO the diplo-
matte scenario dispatched in advance by
Mr. Hughes to all the guests The dispo-
sition of the Administration to wait for an
authoritative summary OF intentions is en-
trcly justified
