It must be admitted that the railroads have a meias- ure of justification for this action, due to the com mon practice of “scalping” and “renting” tickets sold for individual use. Commu he railroads view ii, ts not the sale of a given number of rides but rather the sale of a service to an individual.

If four persons contrive to travel on three tickets the railroad’s receipts are cut by the price of one ticket.

N DEBATE on the Mellon refunding plan, Demo- ] cratic Senators Williams and Simmons are ia far stronger position than their minority colleagues, Underwood and Reed, who oppose this grant of power. In. the tight of recent events it is not for Demo- ¢rats to criticise such a proposal. They have had experience. In the last Congress they saw bene- ficial executive negotiations held up for political Purposes and to satisfy groups of voters with alien sympathies. The same conditions will exist if Treasury agree- ments must be ratified by Congress. Politics and the influence of the hyphen will work for or against settlements of benefit to the United States, but which might help or injure foreign nations. It is only human that Democrats in the House and Senate may teel like retaliating. It would be only natural for them to imitate their opponents and pay off old scores by obstructive tactics. But that is not the way to serve the Nation, Give Mellon a free hand. Then hold him and his party to responsibility for the settlaments he makes.

T WOULD be interesting to have some sort of mental-dictaphone record of what Cabinet members and bureau heads at Washington thought when Mr. Dawes talked to them Wednesday It would be interesting to know what President Harding and the members of Congress thought of the speech. As Director of the Budget, Mr. Dawes has most definite and far-reaching ideas of his job. He evi- dently regards himself as a sort of Super-Assistant President, Cabinet members and Mr. Da for the Presider Such comment on the Dawes idea of the job is no means adverse criticism. several degrees above Congressmen, the Vice President. What wes says is expected to “ when he speaks go by It is an open and more than debatable question whether such a Super- Assistant President would not prove a highly valu- able addition to government But it may be remarked that Congress had not the slightest intention of creating such superior position when it passed the present tiable”” Budget Bill. Mr. Dawes is in for trouble if he tries to make the job as big as he sees it. AVith absolute support from the President, Mr Dawes might be able to do what he has started out to do, But any executive weakness will result in retaliation by the Cabinet and Congress, system of he ae A RIN - * ed to Mt oF not otherwise credited in this paper THE EVENING OVERDUE. THE of Harding's responsibility becomes a hundredfold direction foreign policy, President ] XN heavier with the passage of the peace resolution. For he cannot leave the country guess ing longer what his for ign policies are or whether he has any. The President has openl, stated that a declara- tion of peace cannot of itself sutfice to bring this Nation into proper relations with peace. He has insisted that treaty negotiations of a spe- cific kind must follow the peace declaration, and he has even gone so far as to say in plain words that “the wiser course would seem to be to engage under the existing treaty Whether the President merely said this to. test ou, the irreconcilables and bitter-enders in the Senate in order to get an idea how much he might have it later, or whether he meant it as a hint of the definite course to which he is determined to adhere, remains to be seen, It will have to be seen prety soon, ywever, be- cause the peace resolution no longer acts as a con- vement object or goal just ahead, behind which the further plins and policies of the Administration— the absence of plans and policies—can he concealed. Is the Treaty of Versailles to be resubmitted to the United States Senate or is it not? If not, what plan of treaty-making with the Cen- tral Powers is to be tollowed? hese are questions that have to be answered di- rectly the United States—nearly thirty-two months after the firing ceased and two years after the sign- ing of the Treaty of Versailles—becomes, by act of Congress, al peace. The Constitution does not provide that the Sen- ile, which advises and consents on treaties, shall als) take the entire initiative in making them. The President cannot avoid committing himself to leadership on the side of foreign affairs much longer. WHO'LL STAGE THIS BOUT?

We refer to the championship of the Board oi Aldermen; and suggest that this should be decided soon, the receipts going to charity. No agreement has been reached as to who won the impromptu Falconer-Kenneally bout last Tues- day. Alderman Falconer claims that Tammany ganged’ him. ‘Tammany says only two blows wey struck, the first being Kenneally striking Fal- coner, the second, Falconer striking the floor. Falconer disagrees on all points except that he struck the floor. Why not decide the matter in regulation style, the winner to designate the charity to benefit from the receipts—including motion-picture rights? Which would profit, the Fifth Avenue Hospital or the Bowery Mission? If a preliminary were desired it would be difficul! to find a better one than a three<ornered novelty match from the Board of Estimate, featuring Hylan, Craig and La Guardia in their acoustamed roles. inter A NEW BLOW FOR AN OLD LIE. A ECHO of the campaign of 1920 is sound- ing. Delegates from thirty-three Govern- ments are meeting in Geneva under the auspices of the League of Nations as authorized by Article 23 of the Covenant. This is the article which was “exposed” by Mrs. Arthur L. Livermore, a member of the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee. Mrs. Livermore asserted that a clause in the Cove- nant “not only recognizes and ratifies but legalizes traffic in women and children.” The ‘Wilson League” for the purpose of cam- paign propaganda was capable of anything—even nership in the white slave traffic The United States as a Nation is not represented at this conference, but it is not wholely safe from baneful League influence. An officer of the Public Health Association is there. So too are representa- tives of Jewish and Catholic organizations for pro- tecting women, and also the Y, W. C. A. Of course these social workers are not going to legalize traffic in women.” Mrs. Livermore's state- ment was only a campaign lie, a trifle more bald and sensational than most of the other canards which the G. O. P. sponsored in the “anything-to- beat-Wilson”” movement. To keep the record straight, it is worth while to recall thes? when their falsity is revealed TWICE OVERS, ‘ ‘I AM sick and tired of riding down in the subway mornings with these flappers all dressed for picnics, but in reality going to business.”-—An Inter- ested Father. ees “cc ENTAL tests should be given to all children, and those who do not come up to standard should be segregated for special education which will Fil them for better cilizenship and also protect those of high mentality.""—Dr, Rufus oon Klein Smid, domo | The Boss Salabdeheeiaiasiaieaneenteaneiateeatantaten saoemenmenanenmet SATURDAY, JULY .2, 1921, Dictates an Important Letter!
