HE TRIBUNE, considering the Cannes draft treaty, inquires, “Where’s Article X2”" It is good to learn the Tribune mind is open and secking information in regard to Article X even at this late date. One Article X is in the League of Nations Cov- enant. That is the Article X Woodrow Wilson brought home from Paris. The Article X the Tribune is searching for never had any existence except in the minds of Republican politicians, Tribune editors and the like. ‘Article X (in the covenant) reads: ‘The members of the League undertake to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and ex- isting political independence of all mem- vers of the League. In case of any such aggression, or in case of any threat or dan- ger of such aggression, the Council shal) advise ypon the means by which this obli- gation shall be fulfilled. The Anything-to-beat-Wilson Article X stopped with the first sentence. Possibly the Tribune has forgotten the second. . The Cannes draft treaty indicates that Briand and Lloyd George agreed with the Wilsonian in- terpretation of Article X. And’ France wanted something more. Briand was unwilling to rest on the probatsle advice of the Council of a League weakened by the Republican shibboleth of “La- fayette we have quit.” Briand wanted a supple- mentary guarantee and got it. Article X, the real Article X, is still in the cove- nant. The bogus Article X, for all we know, may be in the Tribune office or in the archives of Wrecker Lodge. Secretary Dayis says he intends to “hu- . manize” the Immigration service with some sort of a court of appeals in Washington. The better way would be to humanize it at the source with administrative officials at the ports of embarkation or even in the districts where immigration originates. An immigrant should know whether he could énter before he sells his household goods and makes so great a sacrifice. CALU IN THE A. 5, L. lr IS surprising that William H. Anderson has not yet denounced Synura as an anti-dry men- ace. Certainly Synura is—or are—making water fn this city a most unpalatable drink, The cucum- ber-fish-petroleum flavor is enough to drive a Pro- hibitionist to drink—something other than water. But even this does not measure the “wet” men- ace of Synura. Raw water is unpalatable. Boiling is Tittle if any help, for when Synura dies it liber- ates oil and leaves a flavor still less palatable. But distilled water is another matter. Some of the home-brewers are running their stills long hours to get clean and palatable drinking water for them- selves and to sell to the neighbors. Stills used in this manner do not come under the prohibitions of the Volstead law. What is to prevent the owner of an illicit moonshine still to dective enforcement officers by representing him- selfs a Synura distiller? What jury fed on § nura-loaded Croton water would convict a dis- tiller who carried such a plea to,court? Mr. Anderson ought to get after Synura. ought to prohibit the multiplication of Synura. We wish he would, He WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE, UTHER BODDY’S counsel blocked the plan to examine into the mental condition of the slayer of the two detectives. Sooner or later, how- ever, some court js likely to order the examination Such procedure will be an example of locking the stable after the horse is stolen. The time for that mental examination was when Boddy was ar- rested the first or second time. Psychologists can make fairly accurate tests of mentality. They can give warning as to probable mental lapses and irresponsibility. It is the duty of society to take precautions. Most confirmed criminals are subnormal. Many are degenerate in one way or another. For many of these cases it seems highly probable that ordinary prison sen- tences are worse than useless. Society has a duty both to itself and to these unfortunates. It must restrain individuals likely jo conmnit heinous crimes before ‘opportunity. “4m the present case the Parole Board cannot shift a certain share of the blame for the death of the two policemen. A psychological examination of Boddy might have revealed the dangerous possi- billties of tuming him loose on the community tt might have detected his liability to “flare up” mith homicidal intent. th. Bt & @ question how far ‘The Associated Press ty exclusively entiuea to the tee for republicattog ‘of all news Geapatches credited to it or not ouserwise crewtea im tay papas \uxiliaries to the police and the judiciary every case like Boddy’: makes it more and more evident that we ought be making some sort of a start. A NEW BUS PROJECT. HE Hylan Adiminisiration again pushes for- ward a pretentious bus plan all its own. if legislative sanctions enlisting psychologist F It professes itself ready < and Manhattan, with the apparent idea of eliminat- ing all surface trolley lines in Manhattan. Whether existing trolley lines are to be beegared of their last remaining value and so put out of their misery by bus competition, or whether they are to be entitled to some equity as holders of their present franchises, is not quite plain, There has been no stronger advocate of bus ex- tension in Manhattan than The Evening World. But it has been The Evening World’s contention that in a general traction readjustment the bus might be used to rehabilitate rather than destroy some of the existing surface trolley corporations. This might still be possible in some cases, ever though the companies were required to take up | their tracks and become operators of city-owned | buses. It is also highly important that bus service shall tit into its proper place in a comprehensive trac- tion system under which bus passengers would have free transfers to other lines. No sweeping, arbitrary installation of buses, regardless of Jarger traction plan, would be either wise or eco- nomical. The bus must be extended as a feeder a cHE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, JANU can be obtained, to lay out $25,000,000 on bus | \ lines in the Boroughs of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens | and short-haul carrie.

He cannot put the commission out of business He cannot prevent it from going ahead with its work. So far, however, his energy and zeal have been for startling projects that either conflict with or ignore the functions of the commission. De- fiance of the commission has been his open policy. Therefore, defiance of the commission is bound to be felt as ihe chief motive of his latest bus vision. The Transit Commission has from the first in- cluded buses as an important part of its plan. But the Transit Commission has the immeasurable ad- vantage over the Mayor of having put forward a comprehensive transit plan which does not begin or end with buses. Let the Mayor do as much or else recognizze that he owes it ¢o the city to profit by and co-operate with whatever the commission may work out to the city’s benefit. Then he will be entitled to a cordial hearing for any sensible bus proposal. im- ‘The doliar, according to the Department of Labor, is worth 13 cents more than a year ago, but still represents only 65 cents as compared with its pre-war buying power. ‘The worst of it is that as the dollar begins to recover a little of its former value it becomes harder to get. ‘The higher the fewer.

Lear, a “foolish fond old man,” will ren in for all time the pattern ef unselfishness which begat the most crue! sort of selfishness. The parent who thinks that he is being kind by giving his child everything he wants, by never crossing him, and by seeking to clear his path of all difficulties, is really doing a vast unkindness to the child. The boy —af it hoppens to be a boy—grows up expecting: to find all the world as ready to yield to him father and mother, as were his He is never happy, because one who gets everything he wants in childhood rapidly acquires the habit of wanting more and more, here is a limit to possible gratification, and when he reaches it he becomes sour.

They will be out of sympathy witf his whims and intolerant of his tantrums, He will first snarl, then plead in vain; and he realizes that the world is not at all the sort by the time of place he thought it was others will have got all the opportunities that might have been his, Neither complete selfishness nor complete unselfishness is desirable it we expect to get much out of life. Unselfishness brings perhaps more happiness but less actual accomplishment. Selfishness brings only disillusionment, unless it is confined to a very misery and proper and natural desire to look out for one's own interests in a some what hostile world, But we can consider our own interests without injuring those of others, and without being put down by our ac quaintances as spoiled and selfish and therefore to lx avoided. @ From the Wise What a vanity is painting, which attracts admiration by the resem- | blance of things that in the orig: | | call death is a pass | inal we do not admire,—Paseal, Life és the jailer of the soul in this filthy prison, and its only de liverer is death, What wegen use must water often. : | is a journey to death, and what we port to life, Colton.
