J remember a sermon by Theo- | dore Parker in which he expressed the very ad- vated opinion that a woman might measure off yards of cloth in a shop and still be as worthy of respect as a woman who folded her hands at home.” In honoring the memory of Susan B. Anthony, real author of the Federal Suffrage Amendment and first and foremost worker for the political * emancipation of her sex, American women of to- . | day should not forget her immense service in also By | helping to establish the industrial and professional | _ }attights of woman and to gain recognition of her | 0 | dignity and equality as a worker. 4} > _ Perhaps there could be no more eloquent measure ft + of the progress the Nation has made in this direc- tion than the above brief quotation read in the light ". of the present. _ The winning of political equality was, however, ( ® Miss Anthony's view, an indispensable part of : ’s advance. She wrote in 1900: “The gulf between us and our foremothers {s no wider than that which exists between | Ives and those future generations who | shall have an absolutely unjrammelled oppor- tunity for development. “This will be possible only when there shal! be pleced upon the brow of woman the crown of citizenship and side by side with man she may work for the regeneration of the world, enforcing her will, as he enforces his, by the supreme authority of the ballot. “The most powerful pen cannot put Into words the happiness which will come to ~ woman, and through her to pe race, when | this right is hers.” May it so prove. | . A BETTER MEMORIAL TO HYLAN. 1 GNTLY or wrongly, it has been suggested that one reasop for rushing construction’ of -the Court House is that Mayor Hylan is ambitious to have his name on the bronze tablet which will _ commemorate the builders. « Whether this supposition is true, no one but | “Mayor Hylan, himself, may say with certainty. If it is, The Evening World has a suggestion. H © Ordinary dedication plates do not amount to | “much. Passersby rarely stop, read and reflect, * To sing his praises through the ages, a public | man needs an extraordinary tablet. Mayor Hylan | ‘ 4 has an opportunity to get his name on a strikingly y unusual sort of bronze plate. ¥ ¥ iw Uv . < Here's how: © | First: Postpone the erection of the Court House.

SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD lad living in the Bronx mt A admits he has had his share of spankings, but says he endures a punishment far worse than "any mere caning or hair-brushing. He writes: “My worst punishment is to be made to wear a velvet sult. As I am sixteen years old \ and very plump, you can imagine how the ' other boys tease me when I have to wear this suit, I would rather have the switch any De gue,” It is easy to picture the situation, Indeed, a velvet suit or any other sort of clothing that is “different” in cut or material from those “all | “the other fellows wear” may be a cruel punishment. © Only parents who haye forgotten their own youth “or purpose to inflict cruel and uqusual punishment | will disregard these taboos of childhood. | The guying of “the gang” may be the very re | tof torture. Some parents inflict this with fc ‘ realizing or intending such cruelty, An “old country” custom transplanted to new surroundings ‘may be gall and wormwood to the youthful heart. A velvet suit on a “plump’ boy may be a most effective punishment, but all too many children are equally keen punishment simply because parents do not realize and understand. | When a velvet suit is administered in lieu of a | it may be justified, but if it is only the | 0 ness of failure to comprehend, eee eee | | i” \A tp then the child deserves real sympathy and com- miseration. WHAT ABOUT THE THIEVES? S AN echo of the Arnstein case, Saul Myers, counsel for the National Surety Company, announced yesterday that a million dollars’ worth of stolen bonds had been recovered by negotiation with some of the minor figures in the bond theft ring. This is all well enough for the National Surety Company, but what of the law? Is it sound public policy to permit such pro- cedure? Do the District Attorney and the Police Department countenance such dealings? Will the bond plotters escape punishment if they make restitution? /if Mr. Myers can get in touch with the criminals, why cannot the police? Why do not the police capture the thieves? Why does not the District Attorney’s office prosecute and convict? From the standpoint of the surety company, restitution is highly desirable,* From the standpoint of the State, restitution is by no ‘means enough. There should be punishment to deter other thieves. Consider the case of the potential thief to-day. If the members of the Arnstein ring get off and escape prosecution, what would be the natural result? The answer is easy. These potential thieves would say, “Well, we might as well try it, If we get caught we can give the stuff back and avoid punishment. If we don’t get caught, maybe we can get away with it and ‘clean up.’” This is a dangerous spirit to foster in the com- munity. SEND THE FLAG TO EVERY PORT. ye encouraging example of the progressive use American youth can make, and in many cases is making, of large inheritedt interests appears in Martin Green's interview with W. A. Harriman, twenty-eight-year-old son of the late E. H. Harri- man, printed elsewhere in The Evening World to- day. Young Mr, Harriman did not form the Ameri- can Ship and Commerce Corporation as a piece of philanthropic patriotism. He expected and still expects to profit by it, : Nevertheless Mr. Harriman has also a larger view of the matter, He says: “Before the war we had practically no ship- ping. The American flag was a novelty on the seas, We are an export Nation and such a state of affairs was dangerous, “As an export Nation it is necessary that we deliver our own exports and thereby seek our own markets, “The idea of having the products of the United States distributed by the ships of England or any. other nation and the purchases of the United States brought to our ports by the ships df other nations is economically indefensible. “Of course we cannot expect to control all the commerce, but ft is absolutely necessary that we control enough of it to be independent.” There is truth in this which cannot be repeated too often, To American youth and enterprise of this gen- eration, whether in command of money, brains or merely energy, there is no bigger or more promi ing job than helping to put the flag of the United States where it belongs among the ships that will carry post-war commerce—in the greatest trade re- vival the world has ever seen—up and down and across the Seven Seas. ~ TWICE OVERS. se N in public office should know problems at first hand, should become national minded instead of »'Marion minded’.

BOOKS FIRST—MEN AFTERWARD. Pay no attention to the blusterer who says that men are his books, That sort of shallow boasting does a great deal of harm. Books are men—great men and the best that is in them. Study books first, because from them you will learn how to study men, You will get from the works of Shakespeare more ideas about John Jones, your neighbor, than you would ever get if you studied Jones first hand, _ You will learn from books that much that sounds like wit and wisdom from impressive statesmen and others is really ‘‘old stuff,’ some of it dating back to the times chron- icled in the Old Testament. Lincoln’s marvellous ability to pick great men for im- portant work was founded on deep if not wide reading, Lincoln knew the Bible and Shakespeare almost by heart. And keen as was his mind, it. could not have operated as it did if it had not been first stored with knowledge that no man could learn by himself. Instinct may have once existed in human beings, but it has been dulled by centuries of interdependence. We are dependents on the past and on the present. Our judgment is based on what has gone before. N Read good books, read and remember them, And when you have gained a store of knowledge from them, you will be capable of forming those opinions and.judgments of your fellow men which are necessary to success. = ‘ “Tt takes a wise man to discover a wise man,” one of the old Greek thinkers truly said. The greatest business executives possess judgment of men and use it; but judgment of men is instinctive to no- body, It must be founded on “knowledge and on experi- ence. In books you will find both, for they are the stored knowledge of other men and a record of their experiences, Learn all you ean of what has happened in the past. Then you will be well equipped to judge of the men and the matters that concern you in the present. children of New York may get cool] before one goes into the water. and possibly Clean, but like so many charitable innovations this shower bath Idea, because it was not given sufficient thought, has brought about as much evil as it has good.
