ANGUS SHAW, T JOSEPH PULITAEN Jocal news pudiieiea beroia. THE HARD WAY. O one can gainsay the plain facts Gov. Miller N presented yesterday in his message on Port Anthority. The New York City Administration has obstructed to the fimit of its capacity. It has been able t delay but noi to defeat tie port development scheme. Further obstruction will hinder the Port Authority. And, as Gov. Miller points out, the time for por! development is now, this year. On this account it is io be regretted that the Governor did noi adopt a more conciliatory tone, The Governor, like the citizens of New York, has the present Mayor of New York to deal with, ‘The Governor has proved himself sirong enough to bend a trifle and approach Mayor Hylan with an olive branch. It is not that the Mayor has earned an olive branch. He hasn't. But the Governor is Jealing with things as they are. Port unification would be a‘monumenial achievement. There is plenty of glory for all who play a part. In this communization, as in mos of Gov. Miller's ‘state papers, the tone seems deliberately provocative. And Mayor Hylan is notoriously ready to discover offense even when none is intended. Chairman Metz of the Committee of Non-Parti- san Facts struck a better note the other day when he pointed out no less than thirt ve points on which there was fundamental agreement between the Port Authority plan and the city plan. Goy. Miller could well aflord to humor Mayor Hylan a litle, if by that means he could weaken the Mayor's policy of obstruction. George Wharton Pepper, Gov. Sproul’s ap- pointeé to succeed Senator Penrose, is expected to qualify in time to cast his vote in the Senate in favor of Newberry. Pepper ix expected to be “regular,” after the usual manner of Penn- sylvania Republicans. tHe was a bitter-end propagandist against the League of Nations, so he probably will feel an obligation to vote for Newberry. The Michigan seat-buyer helped the G. 0. P. to organize the Senate in opposition to the League. LAW-ABIDING NEGROES CAUGHT HIM. HE case against Luther Boddy, slayer of two New York detectives, is‘ so clear that convic- tion seems certain. Conviction should also be speedy. Boddy is reported to have confessed. But noth- ing in his record justifies lenient treatment on this account. The quicker Boddy pays the penalty the stronger the lesson to other “gun-toters” in the city. One feature of the capture of Boddy deserves special note. He was arrested by a man of his own race upon information furnished by law-abiding negroes of Philadelphia. e This ought to insure New York against any possi- bility of increased racial antagonism as the result of Boddy’s crime. UDGES should not assume there is to be a sweep- J ing attack on the parole system or the custom of suspending sentences at judicial discretion. Reports of the probation societies only support the public view that the suspended sentence works well with a large percentage of first offenders who are more likely to reform under surveillance than in jail. ‘ But with offenders who show confirmed criminal tendencies the case is different. Here it is the com- munity that deserves the benefit of the doubt. De- votion to the principle of the suspended sentence should not blind a Judge to the danger of leaving at farge a man who has repeatedly shown that the only hope of setting him straight is by punishment he will remember and fear. The same is true of parole for prisoners. Mere mechanical counting of good conduct marks while in prison should not, regardless of record, return a notoriously dangerous man to society before his term is up. The murderer who killed two police detectives in this city last week had a long and ugly police record. He had been returned at least once to the peniten- tiary for violating his parole. Yet he was out on parole when he killed the two detectives. Mani- festly this is not the way the parole system was meant to be used. There are cases, it is true, where sentence after sentence served in full fail to keep a criminal from ging back to crime. But this does not alter the fact that the community enjoys a greater degree of protection when the habitual criminal knows a sentence for him means the full sentence. Justices of Special Sessions gave notice yesterday that convicted gun-carriers will hereafter get prison sentences with a recommendation for the maximum three years. “We have had impressed upon us very tragically,” UNTEMPERED JUSTICE. | said Justice Kernochan, “the danger of allowing men who carry revolvers to be at large on the street.” Every day now the public is having impressed upon it the grim fact that New York is becoming as perilous a place to go about in as if it were some robber-infested mediaeval city. Under such conditions the public has a right to ask that suspended sentence and parole, excellant as they are in principle, shall be applied only with greatest care and caution. The increasing boldness of thieves and thugs is beyond belief. e Untempered justice is all they should get. FLIM-FLAM. FTER the White House dinner last Saturday } it was reported that the soldier bonus might be made dependent on the repayment of foreign loans and interest. Such a policy would be tragic It may be that the Republican Party feels the need political strength by enacting a Bonus Law betore the Congressional elections next of bolstering up ics November. But if should not leave payments de- pendent on calling in foreign loans. What would be the result of such a policy? | There is small probability that Burope will be able iy any large fraction of the $5,000,000,000 which the bonus is likely to demand. The veterans will be anxious for payments. We shall have dozens of proposals seeking. to force “collection” of these debts. Congre8sman Reavis last week moved io instruct the Treasury to collect from France rather than to permit her to spend on a larger navy. Congressman Reavis ought to know that there is no machinery for the “collection” of an international debt from a first class power. War is the only way, except as France chooses to recognize the obligation and make the payments. Meantime such a proposal fosters international ill-will and dangerous friction. If the bonus de- “pended on foreign payments, we should see a seri of such incidents endangering our relations with virtually all the countries of Europe. If the G. O. P. needs a Bonus Law to help it at the polls, the oniy fair and sensible course is to devise taxation or bonds to pay the bonus. It should not flim-flam the veterans with’a bonus de- pendent on problematical payments from Europe. soon io re “The boys got a sure tip and played it with the stolen bonds,” the attorney for the boys explained after their arrest, Sure? Sure! THE NEWBERRY DEFENSE. HE statements made by Newberry defending his record are unbelievable. He contr. i self, “I did not solicit or expend,” he avers, or indirectly, one single dollar in the campaign for Senator in Michigan in 1918.” But he admits telegrams and letters to his cam- paign manager. Telegrams cost money. This is a minor point, but it is a gauge of New- berry’s truthfulness. Even assuming the Newberry statement were literally true, the moral question remains, If Newberry himself did not corrupt the elec- tions, his friends did, The Senate cannot pave the way for repetitions. If necessary the Senate must punish Newberry’s friends through Newberry. The men who filled the barrel must not have the satis- faction of achieving their purpose. Senator Williams was right when he remarked: “If the time has now come when a man can (buy his right into this body through his friends or relatives, then this body ceases to be re- Spectable.” That is the issue the Senate faces, whether it is respectable or not? Does it care The Swedish paper which prints an article by Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman de- nouncing Russian Bolshevism is not a humor ous sheet but a serious Syndicalist organ. | SPEED A VOTE.

To the Editor of The Evening World: I heartily agree with the opinions on the subject of immigration control which you have so ably expressed. That we should have an Immigration | Board composed of experts invested with adequate powers and free from “entangling alliances” with political parties is indisputable. It is only common sense that immi- | gration quotas should be fixed by of- | ficials residing in the lands from which the immigrants come rather | than waiting until they have crossed the ocean and sending the less for- tunate ones back, May I add a thought in this connec- tion? ! Immigration and the unemployment ' situation are very closely allied to each other. The Department of Labor furnishes us with reliable figures on the num- ber of workers in the various indus- | tries, and also with figures showing the extent of unemployment in each industry and in all industries com- bined, mcnth by month It seems logical that the total num- ber of {mmigrants admitted to this |country at any one time should be determined by the number of unem- ployed in the country. In this way the number of immigrants permitted to enter the country would approach zero as the number of unemployed in- creased to a predetermined maximum. This idea could profitably be car- ried a step further, The number of workers needed In each line of industry at any one time could be estimated. Then, instead of limiting immigration according to na- tionalities, as is now being done, the immigrants could be classified ac- cording to trades and industrial apti- tudes. The quotas could then be Jestablished for each industry as the | number of workers needed was found. | 1f, for example, investigation disclosed a dearth of 100,000 steel workers, the Immigration Board would fix this tem- porary limit to immigrants who were especially fitted for such work. In fixing these quotas, the general state of business would of course have to be considered JOHN H.

A landlord, of course, can always go into court and secure the removal of a tenant who fails to pay the agreed rent or who behaves in an objectionable manner, and this is right; but well-behaved and prompt- paying families cannot decently be treated like books on a shelf or checkers on a checkerboard—to be moved about arbitrarily on a mere whim of the landlord. Housing conditions are still very serious in this city, as everybody knows. Unemployment conditions are very serious also. The decrease In earning power is little short of tragic among all classes of our citi- | zens. This matter of which I speak is not one of rent adjustment It lies even | deeper than that. It has its roots in| fundamental fair play. To revert at) this time to old conditions would be to revert to barbarism.

To the Editor of The Drening World One of the worst outrages I believe I have ever seen Is taking place daily on the Sea Beach and Fourth Avenue local Ines every morning and eve- ning. During the rush hours the local service especially is the worst ever, as trains are held up at the stations by passengers being jammed in the cars so tightly that the guards are unable to shut the doors. Surely it wouldn't break the B. R. T, to run extra trains so as to run on'‘a three-minute headway instead of a ten-minute headway. There was a time when I ¢ pride in Brooklyn and her transport tation system, but how can you now when the Board of Health says avoid crowds, as they spread disease, and the B. R. T. puts specials on the sta- | tions to jam you In because they will not run extra trains. Why not suggest to the B, R. Tr. to break away from steel cars and substitute rubber, as it would make more room? - B, LOWE. | Brooklyn, Jan, 7, 1922 | Birth Control, To the Edstor of The Prening World I consider birth control a matter to be decided by each woman for her- self, I firmly believe it ought to be possible for every mother to have in- formation on the subject.

BANK YOUR IDEAS. Money is not the only thing worth saving. Education 15 merely putting knowledge thriftily away where you can use it later. The difference between good and bad education is the selection of the kind of knowledge to,put in your mente] bank. _Some men buy worthless stocks and bonds with their savings, and some accumulate worthless knowledge. The first sort go bankrupt financially, the second sort end their lives in mentai bankruptcy. To most men from time to tim come ideas of value. Often they come at atime when we are not equipped intel- lectually to develop them, An undeveloped idea is as useless as an undeveloped mine. ‘fhe mine needs capital for its de- velopment, The idea neds ‘intellectual force. Don't reject or forget ideas of that kind merely because you feel that at the time you are unable to get anything out of them, Put them away in your memory if you think it is a trustworthy depository. Better still, put them into atnote book that can be got at when you want it. There may come a time when an idea thus banked will be worth far mor# than a thousand dollars banked at the same time. No important invention is made instantly, No comp! :‘e idea for a work of art comes to a man all at once. The idea is at first only a germ. It requires much careful thought and probably much hard work and experiment before it can be put to a practicable purpose. But the germ is there. It is only a germ. It will disay:- pear utterly very shortly if some care is not taken to pre serve it. Of course it is well to be sure that you have really the germ of an idea before you put it away, But if you think you see a way to improve a piece of machinery, or a system of houk- keeping, or a method of salesmanship, don’t let it get away without setting down some sort of reminder. Then, if you are not yet able to work it out, begin to get the equipment necessary to do so. It is likely to be a slow, tedious and often appurently hopeless process. Perhaps when it is completed the idea will not seem as good as it did. But if you are thrifty you will have a number of them saved ep and one or two at least will be of value. If you are continually on the lookout for a chance te + do something for the world, the world will do something for you. It rewards those who contribute to it, It makes these who do not contribute te it fight very hard for the living they get out of it. Ene 2 o eerereecanceecasnacnnar tevcnnencennnerremmsen brains.
