NO HEIR. O one man will fill the boots of Boies Penrose. No one man should. Senator Penrose was politically active in three more or less distinct fields In Pennsylvania politics he was supreme. He was one of the men who, as he expressed it, are pt to be leaders to their friends and bosses to their enemies.” In the Senate he was the most influential single member, In so far as a Senaterial oligarchy existed, Senator Penrose was chief oligarch. In the national organization of the Republican Party he was the organizer without a serious rival. His control over the Southern delegations he earned by years of playing the game fairly and squarely as he saw it, The confflence of the “black and tans” made Penrose a President-maker. Indeed, at times he could have rightfully paraphrased the Bourbon boast with “Iam the Republican Party.” Pennsylvania now has no successor to the Came- rons, Quay.and Penrose. In the Senate, a Westerner, McCumber, will suc- ceed to the all-important position of Chairman of the Finance Committee. In national politics there will be a scramble to divide the power of Penrose in the South. No single leader cath expect to acquire afl the support the Pennsylvanian commanded. In a Republic it is fortunate that the power of a “leader” or “boss” is not handed down by inheri- tance. The Nation has not yet forgotten the part played by a long-distance telephone from the Chicago Convention of 1920 to a sick-bed in Penn- syl ania. It will be fortunate for both the Republican Party and for the Nation if the time has come when no one man could rightly say, “I am the Republican Party.” The esteemed Evening Post, which seems to have accepted Prohibition as something that has come to stay, argues mistakenly that the country is dry except in spots and that these spots cannot withstand the power of the Government when once fully applied. We do not believe that this is true, for the resentment lies deeper than annoyance at the difficulties of securing supplies. It rises in the minds of men who object to the curtail- ment of human liberty, and who were never sots or saloonkeepers. * TRULY COMPREHENSIVE. : HE “comprehensive plan” of the Port Authority is correctly described. ' It is the only plan that deserves to be called “comprehensive.” Only a comprehensive plan will meet the needs of the port. This imposes an obligation on critics. Any sub- stitute offered should be equally comprehensive. Criticisms of details should offer improvements. They should be constructive. They should advo- cate changes the advantages of which are provable. No previous report has covered the whole present problem. No other recommendations have looked so far to the future. ‘The plan of the Port Authority should be subject to change if changes are demon- strably desirable. Mere negation and obstruction are unfair both to the Port Authority and to the people of the port. ‘ POSTMASTER PLEASE NOTE: Floating from the north staff on the old Post Office Building yesterday was a relic of what was once the national flag. Its | will come to reason in something this wise: “If | doctors are so narrowsninded on one subject, they cannot be broad-minded on others.” The result will be unfavorable to the physicians. It will be no more favorable to the public. Such a statement as we have quoted fs a direct challenge to every man in the profession whose mind does not run in the rut inherited from the medicine men and magicians of a bygone era. It is time for the medical profession to put its house in order and adopt a rational attitude in rela- tion to such matters. It is a duty to the public. It is a plain measure of self-defense. | JOIN IN THE PUSH. hie EVENING WORLD prints to-day answers it has received from men representing business and professions in all parts of the United States to the question: What is the business outlook for 1922? The optimism of the replies is no flaccid brand. “Tf we are to have a successful year, we have got to work for it,” is an added note worthy of American business men who are not the sort that expect to find prosperity merely by putting on rose-colored spectacles. There is another thing about whigh these same level-headed Americans are going to think harder during the coming year. They are going to ask themselves more and more whether the business outlook for this country can be considered as separate and distinct from the business outlook for other countries. They are going to ask themselves whether there is enough business in the United States that profits by a national policy of commercial isolatien to com- pensate for the larger depression resulting from di- minishing exports and demoralized exchanges. It was not to be expected that American shippers ‘and exporters would be among those who rejoice over 1922 prospects. The shippers and exporters have waited through too many disappointments. But neither can the rest of the country’s business afford to regard the outlook for foreign trade as something that need not affect its own outlook. On the contrary. Economically, th: United States long ago passed out of the self-sufficing stage. Its normal pros- perity now depends upon broad, deep currents of trade with other nations. These trade currents are in turn dependent upon econoinic conditions among other peoples and upon the attitude which the United States as a Nation assumes toward these other peoples and their Governments. The foreign policy of the United States can vitally affect the prosperity of the world and thereby in- fluence its own prosperity. ‘ That is a simple truth which ever since the war has been before the people of the United Siates. Not a few of them have refused to see it, and that has made it easier for a political party to play fast and loose with American foreign policy for the pur- pose of discrediting another political party which preceded it in power. Irresistible forces of fact and necessity, however, have forced the Harding Administration away from its national isolation base. Irresistible forces of fact and necessity are pushing it further and further into a field of international co-operation. i H It is to the interest of business men in the United States to join in that push. It is to their interest because the push is straigit stripes were torn to strips. It was weather beaten, wind-whipped, hardly recognizable.

F the visit of Dr. Adolf Lorenz had served no higher purpose than to throw into bold relief before the eyes of the public the pettifogging pro- fessionalism of certain sections of the medical fra- ternity, the visit would not have been in vain. Dr. Virgil P. Gibney, surgeon in chief of the Hosvital for the Ruptured and Crippled, last week invited Dr. Lorenz to visit and inspect the institu- tion. When the hospital staff learned of the invita- tion, nineteen members drew up and signed the fol- lowing slatc:aent and petition “We, the undersigned, representing the orthopedic surgeons and the Alumni Association of the New York Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled, respectfully request that inasmuch as Dr Adolf Lorenz during his visit in this country has countenanced methods of publici the medical profession of Amer of this institution be not he be not permitted to visit the Ruptured and Crippled.” This seems to be not approved by i, that the courtesy 1 to him and that Hospflal for the extend perfect example of narrow- minded professionalism which is a serious and We ing danger to tI fanding ar md name of the vider body of physicians and surg Public opinion does not appr such manifestations of “ethical” bigotry. pi is inevitable that t iblic | in the direction of a wider “normalcy” without | which the promised Harding “normalcy” is plainly | impossible. | Active as distinguished from passive optimism in American business will therefore pat a constantly increasing pressure on the present Administration to get the United States into its rightful place as a | | | confident, courageous partner in world recon- | struction.

Among the controbutions made by the German race to the upbuilding of America, the name ef Thomas Nast stands high om the roll of achieve- ment. The eartoupist who fought corruption fn New York and disrup- tion in America with the keen sutire of his brush and pencil was born in Landau, in Bavaria, in 1840, He was brought to America by his father when he was six years old. r A striking thing about this master cartoonist—a ploneer in his profes- sion—was the brevity of his prepara- tion for bis art. At fourteen he ;|spent about stx months in the draw- ing classes conducted by Theodore Kaufman. He became a cartoonist in his teens. At twenty he was sont to England by a weekly paper published in New From England he was or- dered to Italy, where he made pic- torial records of the Garabaldiam campaign. He produced sketches which were published in the Mew York Mlustratod News, the London illustrated News and Le Mond Illustre of Paris. His work displayed tho vivid quailties, the power of telling a sory in the form of a sketch, which made him ay international figure in the art world. At the outbreak of tne Civil War he returned to New ¥ in Harper's Weekly, the sketohcs and cartoolis that produced a profouns impression and muds Nast a power for the preservation of the Union. His first political cartoon in Har- per's Weekly turned tho shafts of ridicule upon the rcifists of the jperiod. ‘The shafts ait the mark sy squarely that it made the pacifists squirm. Among his politicel a series of particularly biting pte- torial observations on ‘Tweed, his supporters and his predatory pur poses.

To the cursory eye, no relationship in meaning is readily apparent be- tween the verb “to divulge” and the adjective “vulgar.” The relationship is there, however, and it is close, In fact, the Latin noun “vulgus” is a component part of the word divulge. To divulge means to make known, to publish abroad, to make common. The word i¢ of Latin origin. It is made up of the particle “dis” (apart) and “vulgo” (to vulgarize, or make known t. the people, or “vulgus”), In a strict sense, therefore, to make a thing commonly known Is to make it “vulgar.” But a secret, or a plece of news, may be divulged to a single person instead of being communi- \cated to the crowd or “vulgus. A fact may be divulged by being whis- pered to an Individual ear instead of being declaimed from the platform in a crowded hall. ast red a peinelpal stage, j years tches 0} the Ger- pouilding | From the Wise | The world ig a veautiful book, but of little use to him who cannot read it—Goldoni. rperience ia the name men give their follies and their sorrows. —Alfred De Musset.
