Rand declared that the Mayor of New York, _ ___the Commissioner of Accounts, and the Police Com- missioner, “are in no small measure responsible for the occasion which now cells for the judgment of the court upon this defendant.” He went further and charged that these three public Officials “had yorced the dcfendant inio the position in which he found himself when he was guided by a mis- taken sense of loyalty to his superior officers.” Nor was this the climax. * Justice Weeks, speaking from the bench, plainly intimated that the Court tended strongly to a similar ‘opinion, when he said, “If the defendant were now to say that the charges he made and repeated under cath were untrue and his assertion was made under pressure, the Court would only be too willing to acept that state- ment.” see — and in the most solemn manner to their belief that there is something rotten among the “higher-ups.” The charges are most serious, and would not have * beer made without good reason. Col. Rand is bound to go the limit in getting to the bottom of the ~ affair. , Even ‘if Col. Rand is unable to get proof which ‘will be legally binding, the Mayor and the two Com- missioners can not hope to maintain even a shred of respect in the community unless they immediately come forward and demand the fullest possible inves- tigation without regard to any legal technicalities, Subornation of perjury is, if anything, a more the public, or ical affairs they should at least give evidence that they know something of what is going on in polit- ical circles. Criticism of the Committee of Forty-eight policy is allowable, but the movement can not be ignored— not since the Chicago convention, x WORK VS, TOIL. 66” THERE is no hope of progress or happiness save as it rests upon work. Just now it seems as if it were the one purpose of many to ¢s- cape work, Let us raise in the temples of our ad- miration statues to the real patriots of peace—the willing workers of our country.” Thus Charles E. Hughes in his commencemsnt address at Wellesley College, Coming from an eminent American whose high and ‘conscientious services have not been on the side of radicalism, this glorification of work will seem to many merely another of those sounding platitudes with which plutocracy justifies the toiling of its slaves, To American Federation of Labor enthusiasts ism must appear the quintessence of reactionary rubbish, Work to discredit work was never more plentiful than at the present moment. If half the human energy now being expended in efforts to evade or abolish work could be collected and concentrated on the problem of making work more productive and at the same time less wasteful of the muscle and nerve that go into it, the result would be the greatest era in the history of industrial Progress. The present restlessness and dissatisfaction of labor, we are told, are part of the unsettled morale the development of mechanical means which will relieve human beings of the more crushing burdens UNCOMMON SENSE ‘Tess was the descendant of the onos mighty D'Urberville family. But her own branch of that family lived in squalid poverty. Her father was @ drunkard and her mother was a fool She went to work for the mother of one Alec D'Urberville, a rich and dis- tant relative. Alec fell crazily in love with her. Too late she found out the type of man he was. In disgrace she returned to her own honte. Later, while working on a dairy farm, she met young Angel Clare, Angel was the son of a clergymaa and was 4 self-satisfied prig. He fell in love with Tess and she with him, Long she refused to listen to his wooing, for she thought herself un- worthy to wed such @ hero, But at last she promised to marry him. Be- fore the wedding she wrote Angel a letter, telling him about her past. He never received it. Not until the wed- {ding day did Tess discover this, After the ceremony Angel coa- fessed to his bride that he had once spent a dissolute vacation in Lon- |don; and bad had @ degrading affair with a woman whom hoe met there. He said he wanted to start his ifar- ried life with a clean slate, by have no such secrets from his wife. iT) Freely and gladly Tess forgave Col.

On Saturday, June 5, 1920, the President Signed the Postal Wage Bill that gave the Post Office employees an increase in salary of $160 to $200. The bill also deprived men from col- lecting pay for Sunday work. Is this raise good enough to keep the few “old timers” from resigning? Does the public know that from this increase we are forced to pay 2% per cent, or $40 to $50 a year for the pension fund? Do the people know that after paying for this fund for thirty or forty years we then will receive about $15 a week? Why does President Franciscus of the U, N. A. P.O. C. send printed copies’ of “Let Us Rejoice” to the postal employees? If he thinks the Increase 1s good, why do the postal employees think differently and write “Read and Weep" above the wage increase announcements?

They are going to marry His Highness, in April, to a daughter of the Japanese Prince Nashimoto, the {dea being to set an example of hare monious fusion, and thus to counters act the agitation of the mission- taught students and other exponents of the principle of “self-determina= tion.” One hears all sorts of stories about this strategic marriage.

PROTEST against “too many block parties” in one of the boroughs is a testimonial to the popularity of this new form of community activity. The protest filed appears to be backed by good reasons, but this should not lead to a general move- ment to do away with this excellent outgrowth of the war-time spirit of “get-together.” Careful reading of the complaint seems to indicate resentment of the way in which the entertainments thave been carried out rather than to the idea of the entertainment itself. Here is a field for exercise of discretion. Block parties should not become a nuisance, but anything which will call the neighbors together, permit them to make neighborhood acquaintances, and to enjoy some of the features of the old village “sociable,” is precious beyond words in New York of all places. Just to help unite the Republican Party now the convention is over, Gen, Wood calls Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler a faker and a liar. ‘True harmony would not be true harmony if it ran smooth, aan ee tt iil hy inant nal imamate sein nicannie’mergi with the attitude taken by your paper in an editorial of this evening’s pub- lication, Your paper denounced the Qighteenth Amendment as un-Ameri- can immediately after the Supreme Court of the United States adjudged it constitutional. The constitution- ality of that issue is now a thing of the past. Prohibition, or the applica- tion of sound judgment, is now en- forced by and a part of our Consti- tution, and opposition to the Consti- tution is radicalism! The Bvening World is in no place to state whether or not the majority or the minority of the people of this Nation are responsible for the pas- sage of the Eighteenth Amendment. Our Government is ruled by the ma- jority! If The Evening World insists that the minority are responsible for Prohibition let The Evening World prove it, and when that is proved and the present form of government over- hauled and purified it will still be time for the abused majority to rise, in true American fashion, against the minority and bring back their booze.

To the Editor of The Evening Wor “Why,” asks “Ex Tex,” “does the hornyhanded son of toil look down with such contempt at the man that can work with his head?” Which question I will answer with another: “What evidence has the white collar man ever put forward to substantiate his claim that he has anything in his head that was worth putting there?” The average white collar man grows hysterical at the thought of strikes, speaks indignantly of labor “going too far,” rolls his eyes to heaven and dismally inquires where it's all going to end; in short, he talks and acts exactly as you might expect a property owner and em- ployer. He has the employer's view- point—and nothing else. Like “Ex Tex,” he applies to the manual workers the term “working classes,” just as if they themselves dollar front on the remuneration of a Chinese coolie, Brains, did you say? It seems to me that the manual laborer, by following his employer's leqd in the matter of organizing to protect his interests, has displayed more real evidences of a thinking ap- paratus than the pink-fingored, pov- @ty-stricken, capitalist ~ minded, hand-to-mouth, lily-livered__ office- man-afraid-to-call-his-soul-his-own, who not only dares not organize but pretends to consider unions beneath hi la From drilled into him to watch the man with the soft job just ahead of him; to do his work as if his life depended on it, regardless of clocks; to remem- ber that the meek shall inherit the earth, and, above all, to consider his interests and his employer’s to be one and the same. mi in the form of a slightly better po: his life to the business and got the grand razz when he began to slow up. at has vanished, with dispossessing some poor subor- di the efficiency mania, the devil takes the hindmoet, Avail yourselves of all the eyes you can command, You will find the records made by the eyes of genius in countless books.
