He managed to get it into a thirteen-word sentence. Other comment from the Hylan family circle is only an elaboration of what Mr. O’Brien said: * “We will oppose anything coming from the com- cmaission, no matter what it is.” That is plain enough and simple enough so that any one can understand it. Whether the plan is good or bad, wise or foolish, whether or not it pre- sétves the 5-cent fare which the Hytan Administra- tion jhas been unable to preserve, the Hylanites are c., of the aforesaid publication fer | ption, required by the Act of August 24, 1913, | Jon 443, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed om the revere | in opposition. It is easier to obstruct and play the demagogue than to construct and find a way out of | the muddle. Therefore the Hylanites choose the | easier way and “will oppose anything coming from | the.commission, no matter what it is. | it is well to have this stated so clearly early in the } campaign. It will help to explain some of the later comment. It provides’ a useful measure of the Administration seeking re-election. President Harding and Secretary Hughes are anxious to have it regarded not as a “dis armament conference” but as a conference on #Jimitation of armament.” **$o far, good. But unless the country keeps watch, the Harding Administration may pres- ently have it a conference on “limiting the lim- {tation of armament.” CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES HEN a group of the younger Senators planned ¥ an attack on the existing rules of the Senate regarding cloture on debate, they followed the usual procedure. They met, counted noses, drew up and discussed the proposed rule, planned the strategy of the campaign and discussed the log-rolling necessary to engineer the reform. All this was perfectly regular. bloc”—as it is likely to be called—did not stop with this. A delegation went to the White House and consulted their former colleague, now President, and induced him to give his approval to the scheme. ‘This is decidedly out of the ordinary. We call attention to it as an unusual and new development in the practical working of our gov- emmental mact it is also interesting in its relation to t! on “executive usurpation,” “Presidential dictation” and.‘dynastic domination,” which featured in the Republican campaign of 1920. What would have been the result had President Wilson ventured not only to tell the Senate what it ought to do but also how it ought to go about it? But President Harding h he teunsels such a change: perience. But the “cloture ne speeches this advantage when He speaks fror eX: : FIVE YEARS LATE R' IDENTIAL Fifth Avenue between 60th and 96th Streets is to have tardy protection against the invasion of the skyscraper apartment house. It seems certain that a new zone will be created extend- ing nearly to Madison Avenue in which building heights will be limited to seventy-five feet. This is something that should have been done five ears ago, when 3 re Law went into effec If the City Plan Committee were all its ama im- plies, it would have anticipated the builders of the new Fifth Avenue “luxury” apartments fironting on Central Park and would have saved the skyline of our most splendid thoroughfare. A seventy-five-foot pbuilding limit will not prevent apartinent house buildiag in this zone. There are already twenty-four structures of the kind under the limit now set. But the new zone rules will save light and air for the private homes and preserve the essentials which have distinguished the district. It might be desirable if the zoning could be carried further and construction permits refused for build- ings designed to house more than one or two families. Perhaps in another five years the city planners will get around to make such a recommendation. FOUR REASONS. N a letter printed in another column a reader asks The Evening World to explain why it would deem Democratic Senators justified in refusing to block ratification of the Harding separate treaty of peace with Germany. Here are four reasons: For a Democratic minority in the Senate to attempt permanently to shelve the present treaties would be futile. There are fifty-eight Republican Senators, not counting Truman H. Newberry, who is not now There are thirty-seven Demo- Senators. Sixty-four votes will ratify the treaties. Supposing Senator Borah and two other Republicans voted against ratification, it would still need only nine Democratic votes to ratify, and more than nine Democratic Senators are already known to be determined to cast their votes for the treaties. In fact, Democratic leaders in the Senate estimated last week that the total opposition vote, including both Demoerats and Republicans, would not be more than twenty. It would take thirteen more votes than that even to defeat ratification. 2. Persistent obstruction on the part of a Demo- cratic group can right no wrong, On the contrary, it can only add another wrong in the shape of more delay, which would harass the country beyond endurance while, keeping it further than ever from an approach to normal relations with other nations. 3. The Harding separate treaties of peace with the Central European powers will bring more lasting dishonor upon the Administration responsible for them than upon the Nation in whose name they were negotiated. The rest of the world is perfectly aware that the Harding Administration has based-its foreign policy upon no broader principle than negation of the foreign policy of Woodrow Wilson, Other nations know the honor of the United States is not always at the mercy of the kind of partisanship that sacrifices national good faith to party vindictiveness. occupying his seat. cratic There will be sure reaction, 4. Unworthy as the present treaties are, Demo- cratic Senators can do their level best to attach reservations which will leave open a path to better ground—leading even into the League of Nations. Reservations do not require a two-thirds vote of the Senate. For these reasons The Evening World believes that, so far as the Harding separate treaties are con- cerned, Democratic Senators can serve the country better than by filibustering. There is no tighting the evil save with another evil that will not wipe out the first. The only wise course is to try to mitigate the evil and see that the blame rests forever where it belongs.

A Newport villa may not. You can judge a man by his home. You can judge his chances of success by his aspirations to make a home. From the window of a Pullman ear, crossing the Wes ern plains, you may catch sight of a tiny cottage, surrounded by flowers, and with a little patch of green lawn in front. Instantly you know it for a home. Entering a city you may see blocks of handsome houses, all trim and well kept. But you can only guess as to whether they are homes or not, There is a tent city not far from New York where real homes are covered by canvas roofs, Those who live in thew do so but for a few months in summer, but after the dite few days of occupancy each tent reflects the taste and desir: for pleasant surroundings of its particular tenant. You can almost tell the type of man by his tent. If some day you mean to have a home of your own, and the right sort of one, you will need no taskmaster to keep you at your job. That one ambition will drive you to achievement, as it has driven most of the men who have made names for tiem- selves. Keep your home ambition in mind. Plan to have not necessarily an elaborate one, but one that is in good taste, that is comfortable, and that will draw you to it when your work is done. Its happiness will depend largely on you. But whether it is one room in a tenement house or twenty rooms on a country estate, it should be the one place in the world that you like best. Put into it your best thought. Make it as beautiinl as yau can, Fill it with books and pictures, Surround it, if it is in the country, with flowers. Let it mimster not only to your comfort but to your desire for mental advancement, In the end you will be pretty much as your home is. If you set a high ideal for that you will set a high ideal for yourself, ‘And nobody ever attains to high ideals unless he plans , for them and strives for them, Department of Correction 1 would He 7 like to know of anybody who would 5°78" but I have observed that he the-manger story, that he 1s not sat- | doesn't understand how the Socialist be 80 kind as to look up the conditions °Xtend: most of his <dvice to the isfed with the 3 that a certain |can help me, employees of large concerns where position is paying He wil, starve!

The son of a Westboro farmer, Eli at an early age revealed a preference for the machine shop. From the ma- chine shop he naturally gravitated to he world of mechanical wonders. He realized, however, that he needed an education if he was to do nis best in mechanics. So, tn 1792, when he was in his twenty-seventh year, he was graduated from Yale, and by way of a beginning got an engagement as a teacher in South Carolina. On his way to Savannah by sea he met on shipboard the widow of the famous revolutionary hero of Rhode Island, Gen. Nathaniel Greene, who, with her family, was on her way to her home, Mulberry Park, near Sa- vannah. Disappointed at the salary offered him—only fifty guineas a year when he had been led to understand that it would be 150--Whitney refused to Hill the position and accepted the hos- pitality of Mrs. Greene. lt was here that the study of cot- ton and the processes of its prepara- tion for the manufacturer engaged als attention, The first thing that Whitney no- ticed about the business was the fact that it took ten hours of fast work- ing to separate a pound of lint from three pounds of seed. An overhead charge of that magnitude kept King Cotton off his throne, Mindful of his early experiences as a mechante and a manufacturer in a small way in Westboro before his college days, Whitney decided that the thing for him to dl stitute rapi of separatin the « then employed Putting his mind to the task, Whit- ney by the end of his first winter in the South had produced a machine that revolutionized the cotton pro ducing industry of the land where he had found hospitality. m the seed ous method | It was now that his troubles began The possession of a machine, each ot whose hundreds of tiny steel tingers ‘performed the work of a human | hand—a sla 's hand though it was-— jearried har ments in plenty in its | wake.
