A Lively Utf Season.

For an off year, with no national
issues at stake, politics in New York
state promises this fall to present
some lively and interesting features
The campaign is for the election OF
the lower house Of the legislature and
for judges of the supreme court. Both
Gov. Alfred E. Smith and the Tam
many chieftain, Charles F. Murphy,
are described by the political writers
as being anxious over the outcome
and are urging their followers to re-
newed interest in the campaign and
the polling in November.
Boss Murphy, for the first time in
his career, 1t is said, has issued a
personal appeal TO the party captains
in the democratic assembly DISTRICTS
to get out the fullest registration pos
sibie, 80 that there may be a record
breaking vote on election day. Viii.
liam r. Hearst, who is opposing the
Tammany supreme court candidates
and is held TO be sponsor OF an in
dependent slate put in the field last
Tuesday night, also appeals TO the
voters to register and vote. And the
republicans are clamoring for full reg
istration.
The paradox is presented Of Boss
Murphy having to appeal for support
Of Mayor Hylan's administration,
while Mr.. Hearst lambastes Murphy
and his judicial candidates merci'
1essly. Paradoxes in, Tammany poll
tics in New York are not novel, how
ever, and the co-workers Of yesterday,
as has been shown in the past, may
become bitter enemies today.
Gov. Smiths stake in the game is
his desire to have an assembly which
will carry out his program Of legis'
Iation promised the people when he
was elected. The republicans are In
tent upon defeating that purpose and
their leaders claim that prospects OF
doing SO are bright.

A. Noiseless Street Car.

It is very important IL true. From
Minneapolis and st. Paul a report
comes of the trial Of a noiseless street
car. It cannot be believed that the car
makes no sound in running On the
rails. swinging around curves and
crossing intersecting tracks, but 1t is
believable that much Of the noise
which it is the habit of cars to make
has been done away. 1t is said that
much noise has been eliminated "by
discarding the old-fashioned journal
box and iron brakeshoes and putting
rubber gaskets between the body Of
the car and the trucks" 1t is discour-
aging to read in the dispatch that no
plans have been made for building
more of the cars. but if a noiseless
street car can be- it is likely that cities
will demand 1t. Some years ago we
had long and exact accounts of silent
rifles and cannon, and it seems true
that the reports of those weapons
were much reduced by the use OF
silencers. 1t was said that because OF
the discovery the. battles of the future
would be noiseless. Yet the battles OF
the late war were not quiet. Quite the
contrary. Perhaps we shall have q
silent street car, but cautious persons
should not let their hope of that rise
too high.

Increase in Salaries.

The Personnel Classification Board
makes a statement which carries
cheer TO a large body Of federal and
District employees. Fifty-four thou
sand men and women in the public
service in Washington, including
200 in the service Of the District,
will receive an increase in pay next
year. It will be a small increase
above the basic pay plus the bonus
now paid to these workers in the ptb-
lie service. That additional stipend,
now classed as bonus and about the
payment Of which uncertainty arises
at each session Of Congress. Is added
to the regular pay. What is now a
bonus becomes a part Of the perma-
nent salary. and this spells a decided
advantage. Employees in the District
thus benefited as, one result OF re-
classification now receive in annual
basic pay $79.241,0 and the sum
paid them as bonus amounts to s11,-
95S, ,532, or a total of regular and of
uncertain pay equaling S91 ,199, ,5S3.
The announcement is that 1.-THE allo-
cation approved by the Personnel
Classification Board will be reflected In
the estimates to be sent to Congress
by the budget bureau, which means
$94,S72,306 instead of $79,241.051, &C.
cording to the boards method Of fig.
uring." That is an increase OF $15,.
631 ,255. or 1913 per cent over the to-
tai of the basic salaries. It is an in.
crease of s3,672,723, or 4.o5 per cent
above the basic salary and the bonus.
1t is not substantial increase when
one considers the height to which the
cost Of living has risen. and it is a
, small increase when compared with,
the increase in pay which has taken
place in most lines Of private employ,
but it is a step in the right direction
and will carry some hope and conso.
lation to very considerable number
Of our people.

filed to capacity. as 1t was yesterday.
and the tremendous totals cited above
would have been even larger. For the
fact Is that the world series draws to
the limit.
The opening contest was itself a
base ball classic, an ideal game. One
team went quickly to the front in the
early stage. Then the other team
came from behind and scored a
small lead. Later in the game the
trailing team tied the score. In the
ninth inning, wi.h..two men out, a
home-run hit scored the leading and.
as. it proved, the winning run. 1t
was a "see-saw." such as delights the
hearts Of the fans.
It is q great game, A thrilling sport,
and, however professional 1t may have
become. however commercialized, how
ever vast are the money figures in
volved, It remains the supreme source
Of American outdoor entertainment.

American Banditry.

Robbing the paymaster or the
money messenger has become stand
ard occupation with certain class Of
Americans. Nearly every day some
where in the United States such a
crime is committed. Now 1t is a pay
master on his way to discharge the
pay roll who is held up. Again 1t is
q. messenger on his way to the bank
with cash who is waylaid. The thieves
acquire accurate knowledge of the
habits and routes OF the messengers
with money, and, working in gangs,
with guns and motor cars, they oper-
ate swiftly and in many cases success
fully. The total Of funds stolen in
this way in the course of year is
very large. Many lives are lost in
this warfare between the crooks and
the owners H cash.
Yesterday one of these crimes oc-
Cured in New York-the scene of fre-
auent bandit, work-in the center Of
the business district, In daylight. Two
messengers were on their way with
s15,6 to bank to make deposit,
leaving the establishment by the rear
entrance. just as they reached their
waiting motor car they were confront
ed by gunman who commanded
them to hold up their hands. One Of
the messengers whispered to his COM
panion: We're corneredl Let's shoot
it out" He began firing from his
Evening star., 1923-10-11

pocket-all money messengers must
be armed nowadays-and the robber
fell. But his companions ran toward
the car, from their own motor across
the street, firing as they advanced.
Before the melee was ended the mes
senger who started the firing was
slain. The money was saved.
Conveyance Of money through the
streets has become extremely hazard
GUS. Some banks in New York use
collection wagons, steel lined, with
squads of armed men in charge. So
numerous are the payroll robberies
that a great many large employers
are paying off by check. But the
problem OF getting the cash into the
hanks remains, short Of the armored
collection car, to be solved.
This is truly Q desperate situation.
This crime of banditry in the crowded
cities would seem to be profitable
enough to attract men despite the
heavy risk. There appears to be nc
lack of recruits for the ranks, how
ever heavy the casualties from gun
fire or from prosecutions. The rem
edy, it is piain,; lies in safeguarding
valuables more securely, in making it
more difficult, If not impossible, for
the gunner to seize the cash in tran
sit. To this end banks and business
men throughout the country are CO.
operating now, with the result of a
general change OF practice.
Meanwhile the police and the courts
must be busy. Banditry in the cities
Of the United States must be sup
pressed or the boasted civilization of
this country will become tragic joke.

Press Cordial in Welcome
Of Lloyd George to America

ish visitor to these shores" Although
accepting his general friendliness to-
ward America, the st. Paul Pioneer
Press recalls that "the roots of pres
ent difficulties. to Lloyd Georges en-
barrassment, reach very deep into the
past and wrap themselves around 2
certain election campaign of 1918
and around the peace conference.
Lloyd George may today be very sorry
that he went to the people in 1918
on a platform of hanging the kaiser
and making the German people pay,
and that he drove so many shrewd
head at Paris, but he Is lacking in
can6or IL he pretends that these
nimbie feats were never accom-
plished."
Lloyd George was the last Of the
four great war leaders to have hts
power cut of by the people he
served" the Albany Knickerbocker
Press recalls in insisting 'the names
OF these four great war leaders will
be remembered long after the names
Of the men who succeeded them to
power are forgotten. The policies
they have advocated may not fare so
we'll as their memories" This is
also, in part at least, the opinion of
the Rochester Times Union. which
suggests that Lloyd George was
more than. one of the organizers of
victory" in recalling his rettlement
of the Irish question and his leader
ship in the victory of the commons
over the house of lords. The
Schenectady Gazette in turn directs
attention to the fact that ten years
before the world war he would have
been picked out as the most repre-
sentative man in England of the an
cient ideals of the old i~land." Should
he later or enter into a serious dis
cussion of European affairs as he sees
,thom," the Lynchburg Advance is
convinced Americans will listen with
inter est while the Naehville Banner,
holdings somewhat the same opinion,
points, to his initial reception as
worth while. He brought so much
success to England" the Banner
points out, crowned it's war stand
ards with 90 many glories, fought the
great fight SO well, and has borne
personal defeat 50 gracefully. that
he will remain a world figure as long
as he lives and his fame will make
more attractive the written story OF
Britain's achievements"

Big Base Ball Figures.

Base ball figures grow larger. Take
those relating to yesterdays first
game Of the national classic, the world
championship series, in comparison
with those Of last year, for example
A year ago the paid attendance was
1854; yesterday It was 55,307. Last
year the receipts were s119.036; yes
terday they were $1s1.s12. Last year
the share Of the players Of the first

yesterday it was $s1.S5o. The base
ball commissions share last year was
$17.s55: yesterday 1t was $27.2ss.
