HE Greater New York Charter provides: “The Mayor may be removed from office ‘by the Governor in the same manner as Sher- iffs, except that the Governor may direct tho inquiry provided by law to be conducted by the Attorney-General; and after the charges have been received by the Governor, he may, pend- ing the investigation, suspend the Mayor for & period not exceeding thirty days.” The Constitution of the State of New York Specifies that: “The Governor may remove any officer, in this section mentioned (including Sheriffs), within the term for which he shall have been elected; giving to such officer a copy of the charges against him, and an opportunity of being heard in his defense.” In the light of Gov. Miller’s recent warming to Mayor Hylan and Commissioner Enright anent the enforcement of the Mullan-Gage law, how long would Judge Haskell occupy the Mayor’s chair if he were elected on an anti-Prohibition platform and failed to enforce the State Prohibition law? Why vote for Haskell? If John Redmiond had lived to read this British offer to Ireland! MONKEYSHINES. HE WORLD'S exposure of the Ku Klux Klan now under way shows once more how easily the average American takes to monkeyshines, Adorn him with a mask, load him up with weird oaths and “grips” and he becomes happily interested. Add night-riding, horsewhipping and like methods of elevating morals and his bliss is complete. The country is overstocked with organizations based upon this instinct; all playing up the mystery side of life and all alleging uplift as their purpose in existing. The legions are legion—all working to do some- body good—from the Anti-Saloon League to the Kn. These two represent an accumulation of tyranny frard to cope with and a menace to true Ameri- anism. “We are working our way out of a welter of waste,” President Harding alliterates in a sen- tence which would better describe a golf player whose ball is bunkered in a sand trap. i AN ANCIENT ISSUE. £ note certain anonymous agitation over al- leged “degeneracy,” “perversity” and low- down “Bolshevism” in the current exhibition of “Modernistic Art” in the Metropolitan Museum. “It’s an ancient issue. Movement away from convention—in painting as fm literature and music—has over and over again proved the impulse toward sound progress and fresh standards. On the other hand, progressivists who progress from a firm ground of knowledge and technique, with genius or at least talent to steer them, are wsually imitated and “outdone” by a horde of frantic failures who flout traditions to avoid the labor of mastering them. The result is a deal of rubbish around a real effort that is forward and worth while. It often takes time to discover the latter and dump the former—the healthiest aid to the process being plenty of publicity and discussion. May not this be the point of view of the Metro- politan Museum of Art? A plan to use a mine shaft 60 feet in diameter as the barre! of a super-telescope through which to snapshot the planet Mars as if it were only a mile and a half aw the hi sp-pro- y, is the tai voker. But play safe and scoff gently. You never can tell. DOMESTICATING FATHER KNICK. UDGE PANKEN makes a shrewd shot with his J proposal for municipal laundries. As the Socialist candidate for Mayor observes, they might “prove a boon to a great many women now hopelessly burdened with the family washing,” good political judgment. It reveals an appreciation that housewives are now a part, and an important part, of the electorate. And so long as Judge Panken does not go into details he is safe. We await an amplification of his idea. Are the proposed municipal laundries to do the work free and make New York a spotless town? Or would Mayor Panken demand that housewives pay for the work? Or is he perhaps intending to purify the water of the Hudson and the East River and move back the docks so that women may kneel on the Stones at the water’s edge and beat out their linen amid communal chatter, as in many European villages? As a campaign issue this is excellent. It ought to beget competition. Another candidate should come out to abolish that other disagreeable household duty of dishwashing. Why not municipal dish- washeries? Window-cleaning is ; anott ier distasteful and some- times dangerous job. What candidate will propose a City Department of Window Washing? In a period of unemployment the promise of civil service jobs as window cleaners ought to be welcome to the leaders who need patronage to keep the “boys’— and “girls’—in line, .Have we come to the time when “politics’ place is in the home?” PROMISING TOO MUCH. PEAKING at the Labor Day session of the con- vention of the National Association of Letter Carriers, Postmaster General Hays delivered him- self of several highly laudable observations regard- ing the aims and aspirations of labor. Mr. Hays’s “We must live and help live in Amer- ica” is an admirable sentiment. Doubtless it comes from the heart—from the heart exclusively, for when he talks from the head Mr. Hays says: “Every problem is soluble. It is simply a matter of a ‘squave deal’—exact justice for labor, exact justice for capital, exact justice for the public, the third side of the triangle, which, of course, must never be lost sight of.” This is a cheerful sentiment, but it is a sort of Pollyannish cheerfulness that doesn’t give real assistance in considering the problem. The labor problem will never be solved. We hope to get closer and closer to an approximation, but the problem changes as rapidly as society gets close to the solution. Any “exact” scientist can tell Mr. Hays of dozens of problems that are not soluble. Any good lawyer can tell him of the impossi- bility of getting “exact justice” even in simple prob- lems such as murder, arson and robbery, where public opinion is comparatively in accord, And when “exact justice’ is promised in so com- plicated a question as the three-sided puzzle of labor relations, the certain failure to make good can only react unfavorably. The best we can hope for is to go along as best we may, experimenting and striving for working rules which will provide a larger measure of justice for all concerned, accepting this new standard as a basis for still further improvement. In that direction lies progress—which is far more important than Utopian prophecies of “exact justice.” This is the day when the great City of New ‘York figures how many of its school children it can provide with seats and teachers. Will New York ever catch up with its duty to its public school pupils? We need a Municipal Administration that will answer the question as it ought to be answered. AUTO VS. TRAIN. STATISTICAL resklent of Cos Cob (Conn.), A on the Boston Post Road, kept account of the motor cars passing his house Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day. He figured they passed at an average of ten a minute for sixteen hours on each of the three days. Ten a minute for sixty minutes means 600 cars; five passengers to a car would mean 3,000 per hour; sixteen hours would mean the cartage of 48,000 persons, or approximately 150,000 for the three days. Transferred to railroad trains, healthy increase in traffic.

McDonnelt, Bishop of Brooklyn, heads the Board of Trustees. St. John's College was established in 1867, when the priests of the Con- gTegation of the Mission accepted the invitation of the then Bishop of Brooklyn, Dr. Loughlan, to establish a college in that borough.
