As The Evening World has pointed out, the worst ¢ the Ku Klux Klan is the covert appeal they make to men always ready menace of organizations | to use “the slowness of the law” as an excuse for lawless violence. The pretense ihat a masked and hooded mob on a man-hunt is acting from chivalry, devotion to the Constitution or anything higher than animal ex- citement and blood-lust should be knocked to pieces once and for all. The instinct of lawlessness cannot be disguised by rigmarole and fine words. In repudiating mob violence as a protection of womanhood these women of Georgia have set a high example for ali the women of the South to follow. JOHN DONLIN’S JOB. iiss DONLIN, President of the Building Trades Department of the A. F. of L., comes to New York with orders from the federation to see that the Building Trades Council in this city is obeying the tules of the federation. If the local council is not obeying, Donlin has orders to revoke charters and institute a new and | | “legal” trades coun The public neither knows nor cares much about the detailed rules and regulations of the federation. What the public wants from Donlin and the federa- tion is sharp and decisive action on “Brindellism,” on the cankerous remnants of the system which grew up under, or in spite of, federation rules. This is the public’s interest in Donlin’s visit. I! fhe contrives to move rapidly and effectively against the Brindell idea in the Building Trades unions, credit will be freely given. The public will have increased interest and respect for the A. FP. of L. and its rules. If he fails, the reverse will be true. No rule és good if it can protect such-a system as Brindell used. If the federation tolerates Brindellism the federation is to that extent discredited, WHY NOT YANKEE “SHIPSHOPS A SPECIAL cable to the Time the “shipshep” as “the MM deser're Jatest venture in French propaganda.” ‘The Times correspond: “It is an entirely new idea Bul is it? The ship carries “a miniature Paris tor shoppers. The decks and cabins are divided into small spe- cialty shops renied to iblished firms. The Frendi Government chartered the ship and rents store space to the firms. How new is this idea? And how olf? Funda. mentally, il is much like the Yankee trading -schoon- ers which once sailed fron: Salem, Gloucester, New Bedford and the other New England ports. Instead of Parisian jewelry the Yankee traders carried glass beads. Silken lingerie i tead of the bright-<olored calico trading cloth. Champagnes and wines take the place of the traditional trading rum. But this is merely the trader bowing to the de- mands of his market. The only essential difference is that the French Government is taking some of the risk which the trading Yankee townsmen took when they bought shares bound for China, South South Seas. The French “shipshop” is to visit the Baltic states first. In the present rganization of internat exchange business will be virtually on a barter basis, as it was a undred years ago. The Evening World has repeatedly suggested that Americans could find both profit and adventure in trade cruisers. The French French now on sale in their * America, ipshops’ India and the “Shipshop” is an ex- cellent example. Idle American ships may be chartered for next to nothing. High-class crews could be recruited will- i} ing to work for a share in prospective profits. There “FY HE" EVENING WURLD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1921. never was a time so favorable for reviving inde- pendent American trading. FOUR MORE YEARS OF IT? HY are upward of 100,000 pupils without reg- ular seats in the reopened public schools of this city? Because the boasted Hylan school-building pro- gramme got no further than talk and letter-writing. The testimony of President Prall of the Board of Education before the Meyer committee yesterday burst the last bubble of pretense that the Hylan Administration has been anything but hopelessly lax and inefficient in its treatment of the schools. With $10,000,000 for school construction left over from the Mitchel Administration, with an authorized total of $29,000,000 to spend on building schools, the Hylan regime has not only failed to come any- where near meeting the needs of increasing attend- ance with new schools but, as The Evening World showed, has not even repaired old school buildings where dilapidated, unsanitary conditions are a men- ace to children who must use them. Mr. Prall’s testimony made it clear that Mayor Hylan thought he could build schools with ink and letter paper. Beyond futile letters to the Board of Education, the Mayor did nothing to enforce oo-oper- ation and action among those directly responsible for school conditions, Nowhere has Hylan incompetence been more clearly demonstrated than in the present deplorable state of the city’s schools. Can the city afford to repair tour more years of sugh damage? INVESTING IN HAPSBURG REMNANTS. HY American capitalists should be underwrit- ing an Austrian Archduke is another post- r, act renmins that mines, steel The works, greal forests and farm lands, palaces, casiles and factories ral Europe, not to speak of a whole museum in Vienna, are included in the $200,000,000 ancestrai property which an American syndicate is to admin- ister under a contract with the Archduke Frederick of Austria. Large sections of ihe rest of Europe must regard the deal with envy. What could be a happier pros- pect for many a war-drained territory than to have its rehabilitation underwritten by American enter- prise and American millions? There is something of a gulf be policy of United States citizens and the policy of the present United States Government. The latter declines to touch anything European with a ten- foot pole. The former see nothing against invest- ing in substantial slices of European territory.

F‘ Ra couple of days, at any rate, New York baseball fans are on the mountain looking into the promised land of dreams, regarding with optimistic eyes the possibility—or probability—o an all-New York, Giant-Yank World Series. Under such auspicious conditions baseballitis be- comes epidemic and the baseball extras carry the big news of the day J A Yank-Giant series for the world championship has always beei a thing to hope for. Perhaps it is too soon confidently to expect the big series, but there is ample reason for hope. From now until the league pennants are cinched most New York fans will declare a truce to team partisanship. Hf “pulling” for a team: helps, the New York fans will exert all their mental influence for whichever team seems most in need of aid But once the two pennants are safely won?— Well, the truce will end then and there, and most anything is likely to happen in baseball arguments.
