Mr. Curran, however, put the issue in iis proper | make would be a poster informing all prospective rg! | In order for lamps to burn they v (lace. He approved the principle, reminding his hearers that the place for the direct-primary fight is in Albany, not in New York. Mr. Curran is right. The direct primary has no place in the Mayoralty campaign. It should play a decisive part in the campaign of Assemblymen. But the Mayoralty candidates who discuss it are beside the point. It can only indicate a paucity of ideas or ‘unwillingness to discuss real issues. Mr. Curran was on the straightaway track when he said: “The job of city officials should be to confine themselves to the affairs of the city and not go philandering into other fields. This is a city of 6,000,000 people. We spend $1,000,000 a day and it takes‘all of a city official's time to at- tend to his own job.” Mr. Curran said he had “no patience with pre- election promises, with vote-getting lures, which can- not be carried out.” Mr. Curran proposes to confine himself to issues with which he will have to deal if he is elected. It isa good example for other candidates to follow. Mr. Bennett thinks perhaps Gov. Miller wants Mayor Hylan re-elected. It is plausible. With Hylanesque incompetence in City Hall there is an ever-ready excuse for interference by the up-State Republican machine. But why, we wonder, does Mr. Bennett want to play the same game of which he suspects the Governor? WHAT ABOUT THE ENGINES ? 4 ISCUSSING the wooden ships soon atter he took office, Chairman Lasker remarked that he proposed to “sell ‘em, sink ‘em or give cm away.” Few imagined the Chairman meant what he said, although it did seem to be queer salesmanship to warn prospective buyers that the merchandise would be given away if not purchased. But fewer, we imagine, supposed that the Ship- ping Board would contrive to “sell ‘em’ and “give ’em away” in the same operation. It may be, as Chairman Lasker announced yes- terday, that it would cost $2,100 each to salvage the ships. But even at that the deal demands the closest scrutiny. Those 205 ships are each equipped with customers that the Fordney tariff now in the hands of the Senate would fail of passage, that our import policy would not bar other nations from paying for American goods with commodities produced in other ONE OR THE OTHER. R EFUSING to compromise the Fourth Amend- ment to the Federal Constitution for the bene- fit of the Eighteenth, Senator Reed of Missouri says: “It is idle to claim that the prohibitory law cannot be enforced without destroying the Constitution. But if we were forced to choose between a failure to enforce the prohibitory law and the destruction of the Constitution, what American citizen would hesitate for a moment in deciding that the Constitution must be preserved?” To many Americans it appears that destruction ot the Constitution or failure to enforce the prohib- itory law as the Anti-Saloon League is determined fo have it enforced is exactly the present alternative. For the fact is, neither the interpretation of the Eighteenth Amendment nor legislation designed to enforce it rests in any true sense upon popular witl or judgment. The meaning of the Eighteenth Amendment and the methods of enforcing it have alike been dictated to legislators by the Anti-Saloon League over the heads of a majority of the American people. Many Americans who called themselves Pro- hibitionists had only the vague notion that Federal Prohibition would rid the country of the saloon evil. They had no wish to tyrannize over others. They only thought to remove a thing that in many sec- ions had become a public nuisance and menace. The Anti-Saloon League, on the other hand, was and is a highly organized body of narrow-minded zealots, tyrannical by instinct, with a thirst for power that has prompted them to perfect the most formid- able agency for coercion ever developed in American civic life. 1 | | | From Evening to say much in few words.

Notwithstanding all the “prepared- ness” of the business it was this very same thoughtlessness that tore .Kuis William's crown from his brow. was thoughtlessness that sent 1 great Napoleon feeling back from t Kremlin and that finally banished him to die at St. Helena. And the same sin —the sin of thoughtlessness-sprevents the rank and file of us from laying hold of, and keeping, the prizes of life. We fail to think and to preparc in advance for life’s emergencies, and when we are least expecting it the crisis comes, we are not ready -for it, and we go down.
