Of former Gov Clifford Pinchot In his
campaign for the Republican nomina.
ton for governor and opposition to the
two other candidates was voiced in
statement issued Tuesday by the head
quarters committee Of the Pennsylvania
Anti-Saloon League.
The statement Endorses equally the
candidates. of Senator Joseph r.
Grundy and Secretary of Labor James
j. Davis for senatorial nomination, but
opposes that of Francis H. Bohlen, the
third candidate.
Flat opposition Is expressed toward
Thomas w. Phillips. jr., gubernatorial
candidate, on the ground that he is
pledged to the repeal Of the State en-
forcement act. Concerning Francis
Skunk Brown, the third candidate for
the nomination for governor, the state
mert says the league Is prevented"
from indorsing his candidacy because
of a declaration in favor Of prohibi-
ton referendum, which the statement
characterizes. as unjust, unwise and
discriminatory"
No reference Is made to Democratic
candidates, the statement explains. be-
cause there are no State wide contests
for any nominations on that ticket.

Ireland have admitted women 10 their
Senates and that England should not be
behind the dominions. This argument.
however. did not evoke q majority. The
traditional conservatism of the peers
asserted itself. The Earl Of Middleton
declared that the admission of peeresses
would be but small and partial
change" and would only hinder the
general reform of the Upper House
which he believed to be more necessary.
The Earl Of Birkenhead observed that
1t would require long consideration be-
fore the peers could lay it down that
women are suitable for these purposes
or that they have so greatly improved
the tribunals to which they already be-
long"
Anybody who has stood by the doors
of the House Of Lords on field day"
when the whips have secured the coun-
tryside for peers to attend an impor-
tant session, and see the human wreck
age passing in to vote-this particularly
in the days before the "veto" reform
which lessened the obstructive power
of the Upper Chamber of Parliament
will question the soundness of the argyll
ment that women would not improve the
quality of that historic body. But there
may be little debut that the change
will come eventually and perhaps In
very few years. The cause OF equal
suffrage and equal representation in
England is not to be denied pern1a-
nently.

vantages which the Communist govern-
ment thinks It can derive from them.
While that principle also governs Soviet
trade intercourse with the United States,
there Is q very special reason for the
fact that Russian business with this
country, amounting to round $780,
10000 per e.inum, is Of greater volume
than the Soviet's trade with any other
country. The Moscow czars are not
buying heavily in America because Of
any overweening fondness for us. Indeed,
because OF our consistent refusal to
enter into diplomatic relations with the
Soviet, Litvinoff's government long since
elevated the United States to the dignity
of its pet aversion.
The why and wherefore of Russian
purchases in this country is their in
dispensability for Soviet purposes. At
least fifty per cent of these orders rep
resent cotton. The bulk of the balance
Of our exports consists of machinery,
required for the development of Rus
sian industries Of all kinds, chiefly the
oil and metal trades. Agricultural i'm
plements constitute another heavy
item. Russia is buying our stuff be-
cause she needs it. and because it is
better than she can get anywhere else
and not because she loves us. She will
undoubtedly continue to patronize us,

Notwithstanding.

Golf and Profanity.

The other day in Jersey City the
municipal authorities denied an appii-
cation for q license to establish a
miniature golf course on site across the
street from a church. This action was
taken as a result of the protest of the
rector of the church, backed by dele
cation of parishioners, who argued that
this playground would bring profanity
to the very portals of the church.
Counsel for the corporation making ap-
plication for the permit pleaded that
golf is a quiet game and "does not
involve profanity" The city Commits
sion voted to deny the application for
this and three other miniature courses.
This action in Jersey City brings up
an interesting question. about golf, and
especially miniature golf. The develop
ment of the game on a small scale Tor
neiehborhood entertainment brings the
play right under the windows of the
people, so to speak. These small links
are springing up all over the country
and here in Washington have become
quite numerous. So far as observed,
they have not developed as nuisances.
Perhaps the washington golfers, whether
large-scale or small-scale players, are
not particularly profane. Maybe they
are believers in the principle that silence
is the best atmosphere for the game.
Possibly the Jersey City golfers are of
a different ilk, given to strong language
at their own shortcomings or the
superiority of their opponents.
The question Of profanity quite apart,
however, the miniature golf course has
become the fad of 1880 and will per-
haps continue through other years to
entertain multitudes. The old croquet
grounds are well-nigh forgotten. Neigh
borhood tennis courts are virtually
things of the past The tiny vacant-lot
golf course is the playground of today.

Car Horns Noise
Curb Is Advocated

From the New York World
OF the multitudinous new noises
which have come into city life since
1890 the automobile horn is the most
ubiquitous and prominent. We know it
In a thousand manifestations-the
braying chorus at traffic blockade,
the raucous threat flung at a jay
walker, the insistent Get overt" on
crowded streets, the SWANS midnight
demand that his sweetheart come forth,
the siren shrek of the fireman or po-
liceman streaking by. the boot, the
whistle, the blarc and the honk. We
work with 1t and sleep with II. At last
We have the promise of the Noise Com
mission that it will tame this many
throated monster.
In fact, the tanning has already be-
gun. Manufacturers have been ap-
preached, 30-odd types of horn have
been tested, it has been shown that
less ear-splitting and more music will
satisfy every useful purpose and there
is good chance that equipment will be
improved. 1t will then remain to deal
with the horn operator. The streets
and roads are full of light-hearted peo-
pie who imagine that the two prime
uses of an automobile are to make speed
and raise a din, and do both with
equal alacrity. In fact, many of these
grown-up children would feel that the
chief joy had gone out Of automobile
owning If they could no longer adver-
tise to everybody within quarter mile
that they are on their way. They prize
the horn as an expression of every
mood-exultation, arrogance, irritation
hurry, romance. To take them In hand
is no mean task It has been done In
other countries. In England the spec
tacle of spates of automobiles passing
in all but dead silence astounds New
Workers. That Is pretty good evidence
that 1t can be done successfully here.

taken in that direction"
Reviving the memory Of many bitter
and unseemly struggles in the coal
fields" the Columbus Ohio State Jour-
nal recognizes finer thinking and bet
ter leadership on both sides, condition
that is welcomed by the public" The
Utica Observer-DiSpatch advises that
peace at the mines has been of general
benefit, not only to those engaged in the
work of producing but to the operators
and to the public generally"
The Lowell Evening Leader states: I'm
the past four years 1t is reported that
the anthracite industry to an appreci-
able extent has recovered the market
which it lost when the consuming pub
lie was forced to experiment with other
forms of fuel. If that market Is to be
retained it follows that the purchasing
public must be relieved of the uncer-
tainty which strikes or the possibility of
strikes inevitably cause. The conference
has taken the only sensible course under
the circumstances"
This development is offered as an OBJ
ject lesson to the bituminous industry
by the Worcester Evening Gazette,
which argues: 1.-The Governments adj
vice to the farmers, that they get to-
gether and reduce production, is equally
sound advice for the bituminous opera
tors. AS over production is the chief
cause of the farmers difficulty, so over
development is responsible for the COLI
lapse of the soft coal industry. Secre-
tary Davis admits that the Government
can ulaV only a small mart in anv MAN
for recognizing this industry The
leaders, if they can, must work out their
own salvation. But conference, at
least, might initiate the concerted move
ment which the situation clearly de-

Lityinof's Trade Bluff.

Maxim Litvinoff, new Soviet COM
missar for foreign affairs, signaliSed
his accession to office yesterday by
addressing Moscow newspaper CORE
spondents and lecturing "capitalistic"
governments for their attitude toward
Russian trade. He Illuminated that
Russia might be compelled to curtail or
abandon purchases of goods in those
countries which place 'embargoes" on
imports of Russian merchandise.
The Associated Press records that
Litvinoff's homily is supposed to have
been aimed primarily at the United
States. Recently, through an admin
istrative order, the Treasury Depart
ment banned the importation of Rus
sian timber on the ground that it is
fabricated by convict labor, The ban
later was removed, pending further in
vestigation. simultaneously there was
some agitation in Congress against the
importation Of conyict-mined Russian
coal, but nothing came Of that. Rus
sian matches have been barred by the
Treasury on grounds of unfair COM
petition"
Litvinoff's yelled threat against Amer
lean trade need not be taken to'
tragically. Soviet commercial relations
with the "capitalistic" universe, b.
which the commissar' for foreign affair
says the Soviet state is encircled. ar

House of Lords Rejects Women.

The noble lords" of Great Britain,
sitting as peers of the realm in the
Upper House Of Parliament, have again
voted against admitting peeresses TO
that chamber. The ballot was forty
nine to flfty-three, thus rejecting the
proposal by the very narrow margin OF
four votes. The advocates Of full par.
liamentary suffrage in England may
therefore be comforted by a sign of
definite advance toward that objective.
According to Viscount Aston, whose
wife is already member of the House
of Commons by virtue of election, and
who made the motion for the admis-
sion of the peeresses, there are now
twenty or twenty-five women who, by
their rank, would be eligible for adj

number there are from one hundred to

Kentucky Stock Farm
Owners Are Commended

From the Lexington, KY, Leader.
The owners and managers of the great
Central Kentucky stock farms, many
of them in the country Immediately
surrounding Lexington. should be COM
mended for the liberal policy they are
pursuing of permitting local people and
visitors TO drive through them and
enjoy them. Each of them is a mag
nif1cent park area All of them are
very beautiful and interesting. They
have no rivals anywhere at home or
abroad
On these great estates everything is
kept in firSt-class repair. Costly barns
have been built which are always fresh
with paint. Splendid roads lead in
every direction. The woodland pastures
are as lovely and refreshing as are the
parks of the great cities Horses and
cattle of the finest breeds are to be
seen feeding or resting under the shade
AS pastoral landscapes they cannot be
excelled.
1t costs money to maintain them and
to keep the roads in good condition.
Yet, though in every sense private
places, they have been for a long while
open to those who know how to appre-
ciate the court aSies offered and who
use the privilege properly.
These show places of the Bluegrass
afford attractions which draw multi
tudes of tourists to the region and into
the State. Those who own these estates
reap no direct benefit from the visits
paid them. perhaps no indirect benefit,
except as the tourist traffic helps every
body in one way or another. Their
policy of keeping the gates open Is an
evidence of public spirit and should be
better appreciated.
The masters of some of these estates
are comparatively newcomers to our
section; others have owned land here
for years and We have come TO regard
them as KentuckianS, though their
legal residences may be elsewhere.
One and all, they are what we native
residents cali good nsighbors They
are upholding in the best manner Ken
