A Mexican Honeymoon.

About two months ago Samuel Sea-
bury, counsel Of the New York State
Legislative Investigating Committee en-
gagged in looking into metropolitan mat
tiers, tried to reach Russell Sherwood,
known as the personal accountant Of
Mayor Walker, in order to ask him GER
tain questions respecting the mayors
savings and investments. II any. He
was unable to find Mr. Sherwood, who
had vanished from New York as COM
pletely as did the possibly late Justice
Crater. The search for Mr.. Sherwood
extended far and wide. Clues to him
were discovered here and there, at At
lantic City, for example, but when the
subpoena server tried to reach him he
had moved on. The mayor was then in
Europe, and on his return he stated
that he had no knowledge Of the where
abouts Of the absent accountant, and
denied that the missing gentleman had
any business relations with him what
ever. The hunt Jagged for lack Of re-
suits. Now comes the interesting dis
closure that Mr.. Sherwood is in Mexico
City. He Is there on his honeymoon,
and, to an inquirer, he said he was
thoroughly enjoying this beautiful
city" He said that he is not in hiding,
nor is anybody keeping him away from
New York, and he also stated that his
stay there is indefinite"
Meanwhile, o board Of strategy"
composed Of leading Tammanyites, Is
seeking to obstruct the work of the In
vestigating Committee, filing motions
before various judges in Greater New
York to blockade the course Of the
inquiry. Much OF Judge Seabury's
time is taken in meeting these motions
with arguments. On Friday he ap-
peared before a court in Brooklyn which
was asked to quash certain subpoena
on the ground that the committee Is
functioning in violation Of the Federal
and State constitutions. Judge Sea-
bury told the court that the members
of the board of strategy apparently
think that a motion a day will keep
the investigators away" Decision was
reserved until next week. Mayor Walker
has only one remark to make whenever
the question Of the heretofore elusive
but now located Mr.. Sherwood Is
preached, Nothing to say" II Mr..
Sherwood's stay in Mexico City can be
prolonged until the life Of the Inves-
tigating Committee expires, he. too
will have nothing to say" to the in
quisitive Mr.. Seabury.

Refusal to Pay Taxes
Dangerous to Order

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Evidence is accommodating that good
many solvent individuals and corpora
lions in Chicago are refusing to pay
their recent taxes for no better reason
than that they do not choose to pay.
No argument is required to show how
dangerous and subversive of order such
an attitude can become. The effects
are already apparent in the failure Of
the local governments to pay their en-
ployes or to obtain credit in anticipa-
ton of taxes.
Many have not paid because they
cannot find the money. No blame at
tacheS to them. Others, however, are
invenuing legal bubbles and excuses for
refusing to contribute to the support OF
government. A favorite dodge is to al
lege that the assessment is somewhat
too high and for that reason to pay no
taxes at all. This is Subterfuge which
Is unconvincing. Any one who thinks
that his assessment Is excessive Is 1usti-
fed in paying what he regards as fair
and contesting the rest. That Is an
honorable course to pursue. It Is in
striking contrast to the tactics OF those
who do not pay even q part OF their
taxes and thereby obtain q temporary
advantage over competitors who have
honored their obligations to the COM
munity.
Refusal to pay taxes simply because
taxpaying is distasteful Is unfair COM
petition. 1t is properly resented by
those who have paid at considerable
sacrifice to themselves. They are no
less the victims than are the school
teachers and other unpaid municipal
employees.

The Roosevelt Memorial.

With the purchase of Analostan Is
land as a site for the national memorial
to Theodore Roosevelt, the Roosevelt
Memorial Association faces a problem
In architectural design. The original
plan for o material tribute to the late
President took the form of a monu-
mental fountain, to be placed, accord
ing to first intention, in the Tidal
Basin in Potomac Park. where 1t would
be conspicuously in view. This proposal
was never formally adopted by the as
ISOLATION and. Of course, was not ap-
proved by Congress, which would have
final Jurisdiction. A design was pre-
pared by an eminent architect, John
Russell Pope, chosen by the association
for the purpose.
Now the site for the memorial has
been changed to the island, which lies
close to the Virginia shore Of the Po-
tomac, opposite Georgetown. A sug-
gestion, advanced by local organiza-
tions, that q great stadium be con-
structed there, In the form Of tribute
to Roosevelt, has been rejected by the
association, which desires that the me-
mortal should not take the form of a
utility, but wishes 1t to be purely SYM
bolic. Hence Mr.. Pope has been asked
to adapt his project to the new site, 1t
being felt that fountain would not be
suitable for such . situation.
Analostan Island contains about
eighty acres Of land. It lies close TO
the lines Of the park development along
the western shore Of the river connected
with the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
It's acquisition by the Roosevelt
Memorial Association Is q happy out
come Of negotiations that have been in
spired by O desire to keep so conspicu-
Gus o tract from commercial uses. Any
structure placed upon it will be strik-
ingly In view from washington.
It Is desirable to erect on the island
. structural tribute that will harmonic
with the two great symbols that now
stand on the eastern bank Of the river,
the Warrington Monument and the Lin
coin Memorial. A lofty shaft would
possibly conflict with the former and
o massive design would likewise perhaps
similarly clash with the latter. The
question now confronting the architect
and the association is whether some
physical form can be devised that will
avoid such conflict and will at the same
time appropriately signify the charac-

Bread Price Cut In Germany
Held Inadequate.
Berliner Tageblatt.-Tne Executive
Committee of the Master Bakers
Union Of Greater Berlin Is out with
revision in bread prices, reducing the
price OF the standard loaf from so to Al
pfennigs. The weight of the bread re-
mains the same. This lowering Of cost
follows the depreciation in the price
of rye flour. but still falls short Of the
reduction properly anticipated, which.
as we have stated, should have been

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,
st am sorry for any one that is in

IT am sorry for any one that Is in
trouble"
The remark was made quietly by 9
busy man Of affairs much given to
meaning what he said.
It was his spontaneous reaction to
tale of woe told by another about
still another, and Of whom the speaker
! had never heard.
Yet there was q sincerity IN his
sentence which those who heard did
not shortly forget.
He was sorry for any one who was
In trouble
That was all, but you felt that it was
enough. Why Is 1t that some people
carry more conviction with words than
others do with deeds?
Fortunate Is the man, indeed, who
can create an impression with words
alone.
He is like the good doctor. whose very
presence brings healing and confidence
| into q sick room.
Nov, If there is anything can
do" one says, with the une asy feel
ing that there is nothing in the world
that one can do, after all. and that the
mere uttering Of that phrase Is futile
but necessary.
Then comes along O man who says
quietly, without show or buster: IT
am sorry for any one that is in trouble, "
! and the listener feels at once the deep
humanity of it.
He may be no more sincere than
| the other, but he manages to make
others feel that he Is, and that Is a
great deal.
Charity ought, indeed, to begin at
home. It Is impossible for many peo-
pie. even though with the best will
in the world, to go much farther abroad
than comparatively small circle.
1t Is possible, however, to feel
sorry for those who are in trouble.
And II this Is done with decent self
respect 1t is great deal better than
nothing. And there Is so much

tions, with which hell is said to be

more.
Here Is man who says, as he passes

Here Is another who scowls-and drops

Which Of these two deserves the most
credit? The problem reminds one of
those endless disputations of the Middle
| Ages, when honest men argued over how
many angels could stand on the point
| of q needle.
Every speaker won, and nobody won.
They were all right, and they were all
wrong.
1t is similarly futile to attempt to
weigh good deeds, because no human
being can ever be in full possession of
the facts, and without the facts there
can be no sure judgment.
Credit!
Human beings are forever asking
credit for good intentions and deeds,
| when all the time they have paid thems
selves by their thoughts and actions.
