WHAT NEXT?” isn’t this a bit hysterical? Isn’t it an evidence the propagandists are hard hit and were com- to reply rather than to answer? “Green cheese” has nothing to do with the ques- 4; tom, The fare raises in Boston and other cities have little more. But The Evening World submits that it has i} established an excellent case connecting the action Hy, of the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission ii} with the fare propaganda here. That connection is the. business inter-relation be- my twecp the Stotesbury group of financiers in Phila- Wi} detphia and the Morgaii group in New York. This is a real connection. It works. Because of Wi? this connection the traction financiers were willing “to sacrifice $140,000 of prospective receipts in Phila- WH delphia in the expectation of making up this loss if fares are raised in New York. Fares in‘ other cities have been raised on, a basis, of costs, Perhaps the Interborough ¢an show ih equally convincing figures. But it has not. It has exploited a crooked deal in Philadelphia instead of presenting detailed statements of earnings and costs, At present New York knows that the Interborough earned fat profits before thf war. Co#§ wiped out the profits last year, out increasing business is de- iy creasing the deficit this year. yf New York also knows that it is highly probable that Interborough receipts will continue to increase and that costs will decrease. In which case the Interborbugh will again be on a paying basis at the present fare. - to show that the fewer the police on duty, the fewer highwaymien and thugs will be found at work? NOT A LESSER IRELAND. he’ sum it up somewhat as follows: No more engaging, lovable race than the Irish eveg appeared on earth, ‘ M . circumstance have combined to make the Irish the wild boy of the modern world. The trouble began when phlegmatic Anglo-Saxons undertook to dominate vivacious Celts. From the time of Cromwell, British density, Brit- ish stupidity, British clumsiness and British tyranny filled Irish souls to bursting with the’ passionate re- sentment of a volatile race that felt itself oppressed. Ireland's heritage of hate from the past is so immense, so bitter, that it keeps Irishmen from getting any just view of the present. Here are twentieth century Bridsh statesmen like Viscount Grey urging that Ireland be given complete autonomy within the limits of its own safety and the safety of the empire, with the same position regard- ing foreign affairs as the other great self-governing British dominions. Yet an inflamed Irish nationalism flouts such pro- posals as if they were no better than the cruelty and oppression of two centuries ago. * What ARE Ireland’s present grievances? There is practically no limit to the new freedom’ Ireland could have if Irishmen would stop raving and battling over past wrongs and settle down to sober consideration of how the diffgrénces between the north and south of Ireland can‘ adjusted and the Irish people proved fit and ready for self-gov- ernment. Enlightened British opinion, conscious of the larger opinion of the world, has reached a point where a rational Ireland could get almost anything it wanted. But the Irish are playing “into the hands of less progressive influences in British politics when they continue to demonstrate by their own acts that Ire- land cannot safely be left to itself. No British Government is goirg to abandon Ulsterites and Unionists to their fate in an Ireland iJ | Under such congitions New York expects the i Interborough to live up to its contracts just as other business concerns do. NEW INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY. , A JOURNAL ‘pyblished in’ Vienna offers to | American libraries and newspapers bound we volumes of its wartime issues, H It does not ask money. It prefers to receive in 1A} payment Food Drafts payable at the warehouses of ij the American Relief Administration. This new currency, evolved by Herbert Hoover ard hid aides, is the best in the world for hungry if} editors, reporters and printers in Central Europe. Time was when many American newspaper pro- prietors took a somewhat similar view. Patrons of a Pood Draft payable in the essentials of life is the itt best currency. The American Relief Food Drafis are a curious Wut most effective combination of two systems of business dealing, the old barter and the new credit. i « The Food Draft applies the principle of interna- Hiltional exchange, the highest development of credit, fj Wut the units of the exchange are the units of barter, tne food which is the most desired essential in war- wasted Central Purope. bs i THE CRIME WAVE IN NEW YORK. IGURES ed in this ‘morning’s Tribune bear out The Evening World’s repeated charges mt that crime is increasing in New York and that the police are showing themselves less and less able to cope with it. Three nundred and twenty-tive hold-ups, _bur- ii} glaries and thefts representing a property loss of more than $3,100,000, 100 unsolved murders and 4 * homicide record that averages one killing every fit three days is the Tribune's summary of crime in Hi the Greater City since the beginning of the present ‘The theory of the Enright Police Administration, it backed by Mayor Hylan, has been that publication UY of the facts of crime encourages criminals. Acting 3 i on this theory, the Enright Administration has, ‘Miwherever possible, withheld the news of crimes iu from the newspapers and the public. BM Have results justified this policy? bf The utmost efforts of Commissioner Enright have Sy oqtptailed to keep New Yorkers from becoming aware i holdarps, robberies and murders in New York 138 bolder.and more frequent than they have been years. “liberated” straight into civil war. Hot blood, hasty judgment and inherited traditions of hatred are a heavy handicap to a people who are trying to establish their right and ability to govern themselves. Americans would gladly see Irishmen doing more to overcome that handicap. Less of the patriotism that tears down flags and rejoices ‘jn murder and riot, more of the patriotism that reconciles factions, that plans, constructs and Proves, are what the Irish cause needs. Edmund Burke, who was an Irishman himself, said: “England and Ireland may flourish together. The world is large enough for us both, Let it be our care not to make ourselves too little for it.” Ireland’s prospects are a thousand times brighter than they were in Burke’s time, Present-day Irishmen ought to realize that and the powerful backing they have in a new international acceptance of the principle of self-determination. Irishmen fighting for their rights to-day should not show themselves irresponsible, Irishmen of the present should take care not to shock the world*by expecting it to condone irf them lawless policies and methods that they bitterly resent in cthers. Irish liberty would be too dearly bought at the cost of unlimited Irish license, A freer Ireland must not be a lesser Ireland, Let Irishmen remember that. ug | USED to make it a practice to go to the Sunday afternoon baseball games, and I never felt that my worship at other hours, was any the worse Jor it.” The Reo, William T.

They think only of them- selves, I should think If some of these gougers read your paper and learn how that prize landlord in Jersey treats his tenants they would have a litle shame and do Kkewise, I wish that prize landlord all the luck he deserves, and 1 am sure if he lived in my section he would get heatth of the patient | many a handshake of gratitude, He |feor ane : 66 , ? is one out of a thousand. ‘Po avold accidents only a person at Ss a act A BROOKLYNITE. |fyno is qualified shouid be permitted Brooklyn, , 1920, X-Rays 0 Not Shock, ‘To the Billtor of The Evening World: For the benefit of the public as well as the dental and medical pro- fessions, L wish to clear up a@ dis- tinetly false and erroneous impres- sion in regard to the danger of the X-ray upon patients, lo X-rays do not shock, A. patient may, however, suffer from an elec- tric shock due to carelessness in so handling the X-ray machine as to get the electric current, too close to the patient, the First Ward, Borough of mond. “City of N express eingere Tae bv If ordinary precaution in keeping electric current away from thi nt is observed, there is no pos: danger of injury, no matter how to operate the machine, $616 Madison Avenue, Nov. 21, 1 ro the Buitor of The Eveaing World | seen horses fall When on my way to work in the morning, There does seem to be any common sen: id "New, Xork, Nov, 25, 1020. 1920, ishing Oo, fe Erening Worl), Oopnriaht, The Peet Piel Rew Yo Colleges and i); Universities’ By Appleton Street}!!!

Organize your energy as a business establishment is organized. Make your mind the boss, Arrange to give it as much time as possible to do the thinking and planning. Learn to do your detail work automatieally. You can do it if you try to. i; As an example, look at the young woman in an office who operates a typewriting machine.” If she had to stop and hunt for every key, it would require half a day for her to write a Single letter. + But she has made, by practice, the actual operation of the typewriter automatic, Her fingers go to the right keys without any perceptible effort of her brain. She can look at the copy by her side and in front of her, and transfer it to the paper in her machine without really thinking about it. Indeed, an expert typewriter can write hundreds of lines without actually knowing what are the words she has transcribed. The skilful mechanic does employ the tools of his trade. him to work with them rapidly and accurately, In fact, both the mechanic and the typewriter do their present work well because the mechanival part of it has been done long ago. The brain has been taught to work automatically. And time is thus given the mind to devote to the difficult parts of the task. If you have routine work to do, learn to do it with as little mental effort as possible. The effort that will count in your success is the effort you bestow on doing not rou- tine tasks, but unusual tasks. If your mind is ‘continually occupied with the details of the job, you will be in the seme position as an executive who tried to run an office by doing everybody's work, thereby keeping him so close to details that he could have no perspective and exercise no generalship. Af yon are-an accountant, train your mind to master the mathematical operations so that they can be done without trouble. If you are studyfng law, master the routine of tlie pro- fession so that you can think better how to prepare casés, There must be generalship in your brain or you will accomplish nothing.
