C. OF L. HARGES of graft and extortion in the Market Department affect the average citizen more directly than would similar misconduct in any other department of municipal activity. Graft in other departments means higher taxes. Graft at the market means higher living ¢ If marketmen have exchanged money for , “honey,” they have not lost by it. The “honey” “fas been charged as an expense of doing business. It has been passed on to the public in the form of higher prices for the neeessities of food. x The “honey” would be paid for in part from food budgets in which real honey does not figure as a food because it is too expensive. The charges have not been proved, but the evi- ** dence is accumulating. It is formidable in the ex- treme. It warrants the suspension of Commissioner O'Malley. If the charges are proved they will re- flect most gravely on the Hylan Administration. Any one can understand the effect of this sort of skulduggery. “Honey” would help account for the high cost of living, against which the protest is «» $0 unanimous. Newspaper readers and newspaper writers will join in wishing Acting District Attorney Banton the best of success in prosecuting thos? responsible for the “carrier pigeon hoax" of unsavory memory. , In the present instance it looks very much ;..@8 though a forgery charge might be made to stick, A good joke is permissible even though ‘t may make some one look foolish. But the sort of practical joking carried under the general slogan of “publicity stunting” has long since ceased to amuse. When it causes public worry and discomfort it becomes criminal and shou!) be punished if the law will reach it. NOT THE LAST WORD. ee HE Dail Eireann has made its foreshatowed f rejection of the British offer. ; The reply, which bears De Valera’s signature, contains plenty to satisfy the most irreconcilable Sinn Fein extremists—as it was doubtless meant to do. There is assertion of Ireland's freedom from obligation toward “a partnership which she has never accepted,” implying “an allegiance she has not undertaken fo render.” There is insistence on the claim that British recognition of Irish national independence ought to be a preliminary to peace and agreement. But—there is also the admission that “we long to end the conflict between Great Britain and Ire- land.” There is no slamming of the door against further negotiation. And there is an implied pledge to abide by “the broad guiding principle of gov- ernment by the consent of the governed.” Would a plebiscite in the South of Ireland to- morrow show a majority of the people in favor of flatly refusing a dominion form of government, cutting all ties and rejecting the new prospect of peace and national self-development for confusio: and civil strife? H Not if the Irish press of late has reflected true reactions of South Irish popular opinion toward the + opportunity the British offers have opened. Perhaps the best thing the Dail Eireann could have done was thus to register the extreme Sinn «Fein view fer Irishmen generally to ponder and ay is open, as Lloyd George has prompily made plain, for the Britid) Government to go fur- ther in making clear its proposed guarantees of freedom and self-determination for Ireland as a dominion. While the truce holds, every such step is bound fo put a heavier responsibility upon the Dail Eireann and render more impossible the breaking off of negotiations without a referendum to the Irish people. The Dail Eireann has not said, and dare not say, the last word for Ireland COWBOY POLO. HE sport paragrapher of the Prescott (Ariz.) Journal-Miner suggests polo as an ideal game for cowboys. Te ! i i yet . “It is chiefly a matter of riding and then, secondly, a matter of co-ordination of band and eye. Some cowboys who will perform in Fron- tier Days, we feel sure, could swing a wicked mallet with training.” eo The writer suggests that more cowboys and » fewer millionaires would make the winning of in- ternational polo matches “something in the nature of a pipe.” The East has been led to believe that the cowboy of the West is well-nigh an extinct species, flourish. ing only in Los Anglian movie studios and as pro- fessional entertainers at ‘the frontier festivals and “round-up” entertainments. But undoubiedly the West does more horseback ng—than the East, If there for repubileation of all news despatches credited to {t or not otherwise credited im tuls paper the the are cowboys enough in more good polo teains, let them have an elimina- West to make two or tion fournament and challeage Lastern clubs. Such a contest would be worth wate with their traditions of hard and sure might spring some surprises. Polo has been ich man’s game so long that cowboy invaders of moderate means would have a large following among Easterners who cannot afford to play the game. Golf has followed in the democratizing tide which long since engulfed tennis. Perhaps polo will be popularized. Will the West start the movement? | WITHOUT SHAME. ee unexpected thing about the text of the Har- ding separate treaty with Germany is baldness, its When a nation deserts its allies, turns its back on the peace treaty they have made and then appro- priates the advantageous terms of that treaty for a surreptitiously negotiated peace of its own, decency would seem to counsel at least concealing words, The Harding treaty is without shame. By its plain terms the United States takes to itself all the rights and advantages stipulated for the benefit of the United States in the Treaty of Versailles, which the United States shall fully enjoy, notwithstanding the fact that such treaty has not been ratified by the United States. With unblushing coolness and precision the Treaty of Versailles is dissected. Provisions which benefit the United States are to remain in full force as applying to the United States. Provisions which would put duties or obligations upon the United States are to have no meaning for the United States in its new alliance with Germany. ation that the United States is to be bound by no provisions whic! relate to the Covenant of the League of N also a declaration that the United States, while priv- ileged to participate in the Repar. Conspicuously included is the decta: ions; on Commission, “ant in any other commission established under the treaty (Versailles) or under any agreement supph- mental thereto,” is, on the other hand, “not bound j lo participate iy any such commission unless it | shall elect to dso.” Study of the text rai s the question whether it is mainly a treaty with Germany or a cold-blooded ation of ail interest fa or ye obi repu | tion toward the Allies fought Germany. co-op, vith whom the United States | It is not difficult to understand the enthusiasm | fh Germany has signed an instrument | ch still further detaches the United States from the Allied Pow reference to German the s, which kindly refrains from amy and which is well fitted to become corn me of future Ger an diplomacy. There were two covert, haif-expressed promises among those upon which Mr. Harding made his campaign for the Presidency of the United States. One was that if he were el, | | sted it would prove a | ' | good thing for Germany. | The other was that Americans who inwardly be- 1 | | lieved the United States could and ought to claim ail the benefits of peace and international partner- ship without contributing an iota to either would make no mistake in voling the Republican The Harding separate treaty of peace with Ger- many makes good bath those promises. TRY AGAIN, O LONG as Chairman Lasker and the Ship- ping Board do not finally close the bargain to sell the 205 wooden ships at $2,100 each, national resentment against the proposal may prove a good thing. The coniroversy has adveriised the ships, Their value as junk is being exploited. Many small deal- ers and individual speculators are giving thought to the proposition. If the present bids are rejected and new bids asked, bidding will be livelier. New uses for ships and parts of ships are being sug- gested every day. The conservative estimaie of $i1,000 per ship as the junk value made by Edward S. Reiss and published in The Evening World Thursday has been confirmed by others familiar with ships. Mr. Lasker is an advertising man. He ought to be a good enough advertising man to capitalize his folly and turn the wide discussion of his proposed deal with the Ship Construction and Trading Com- to good account by advertising for new bids and selling the ships at higher prices. If he cannot sell them, let him junk the vessels and sell the junk on the open market. TWICE OVERS, se NTEW YORK has had a successful run of a hun- u dred yecrs.
