' President Harding has perfected his alliance with Germany. How will he now proceed to reconcile therewith our relationship to our allies? “Lafayette, we have departed.” “AN ELEMENT OF EXPEDIENCY.” HE more sagacious of Mayor Hylan’s advisers doubtless warned him in quick order how foolish he would be to stand behind the intimidation tactics started by the Commissioner of Markets fol- fowing testimony of certain merchants that they had paid bribe money for market stall permits. Hence the Hylanesque naivete of the Mayor's notice to Commissioner O'Malley that “there is an element of expediency in the matter that would seem to make desirable your withholding revoca- tion of these permits, because your revoking them affords a basis for the false charge that you are seeking to intimidate other individuals similarly sit- wated from telling anything they may know.” ship Endeavor to the Southy Saas, es Recher one pce tia ee te oa Wienke | Venu tte won tesnepanloleEewe to blurt it out just where it would give away the But he is the same old King Caucus, not a real |gcientists, Sir Joveph Banks an@pr. seal motive behind his protest against appearance Of | monarch with sovereign powers but a mechanical intimidation.

That was the boy of it. Boys take to caves as naturally as they do to the waters of the Hudson along Riverside Drive. The chance of discovery by the “cops” only adds to the fun. When men gamble seriously amidst all the com- forts of “civilization” the police have to do what they can to curb the vice. Bul when grown men gather in a cave to shoot craps they need spanking more than a ride to police court. They are only boys. We venture the opinion that many a home- brewer is pursuing the art more because it takes him to the dim and mysterious recesses down around the cold and dusty furnace than because he cares for the product of his work. Here again the pos- sibility of police interference only adds joy to the game the grown-up boys are playing. KING CAUCUS IN OVERALLS. VER since King Caucus became a legislative E power his rule has evoked protest. Usually the protest has been strongest in the rural districts. It has been suspected—and with no little reason— that politicians—presumably of the “city slicker” type—have been using King Caucus to “get away with something.” Now the shoe seems to be on the other foot. King Caucus has donned overalls and has become a respectable farmer, cultivating “emergency” tariff, agricultural export credit, favorable tax revision and manikin operated by more or less concealed ma- is the “agricultural bloc” in Congress, which has thus far functioned most successfully in blocking all legis- lation except the few bills the farmers demand or are assumed to demand. The only difference is that the machinery is more evident. The levers and strings and push-buttons census shows that urban population exceeds the rural population.

XLI—THE MAN WHO OPENED A CONTINENT TO CIVILIZATION. As late as 1768 the continent of Australia was an unknown land, #0 far as the European nations were concerned, Dutch navigators , had discovered the western coast and christened it New Holland. . From time to time some seafarer sighted or visited some part of that ae coast line, So little was known of that PA of the worlf® however, that New Guinea, to the north of Australia, and Van Diemen'’s Land to the suuth of it, were assumed to be a part of it. The country in which great prob: lems of civilization are being worked with such amazing foresight and heartening courage by a vigorous and youthful people, was an undiscovereé region. It was Capt. James Cook, the dis- coverer of the South Seas and their isles of romance and tragedy, taut lifted the veil from a sleeping con- tinent by circumnavigating the pres- ent flourishing commonwealth of New Zealand, sailing along the entire east coast of Australia and contributing tc the British Empire a continent possessing the potentialities of ‘an empire in itself. It was on Aug. ‘6S—on the eve of the loss by Great Britain of her American colonies—that Capt. Cook sailed from nd in the historie After he had accomplished hisepr- June 3 of the fol- jmary mission, on ‘apt.

Yesterday William Pxiowitz was sentenced to of control, and such a counter organization would have the votes. King Caucus has to be worked in secret and under cover or he will not continue to function. Now that Congress has adjourned, perhaps epresentative Manuel Herrick of Oklahoma will be able to devote all his time to investi- gating heauty contests and writing love letters.
