SENATOR KENYON'S LIFT. ENATOR KENYON undoubtedly considers the Federal bench an elevation from the Senate. When the Newberry case was under consideration | he warned his colleagues that, if they seated the Michigan seat buyer, “no one can ever lower’ the | dignity of the Senate.” Senator Kenyon was not “kicked upstairs.” He was persuaded to go, probably with the intention of weakening the agricultural bloc. If this was the design, it is likely to fail. The members of the bloc and the farmers will not accept the Kenyon appointment to the bench as a compliment. They are more likely to interpret it as a sign of fear—a most plausible explanation—and go on to other con- quests. ” Numerically the bloc will not suffer, for Ken- yon’s successor elected from Iowa is bound to side | with the bloc. ‘ Getting rid of spokesmen for the farmers in the Senate will not crush the bloc nor force it to cease | functioning. The President could promote every member of the bloc without greatly disturbing its power, | The fact is that the bloc Senators are not the feaders of the present agrarian movement. The Senators are the tools. The real leaders are to be found in the farm organizations, particularly in the Farm Bureau Movement. Few members of the Bloc in the Senate have shown any real statesman- ship or political acumen. One vote has counted about as mmuch as another. The driving force has come from James R. Howard and his colleagues. If President Harding had persuaded Mr. Howard to take to the Federal bench he would have done more to weaken the bloc. As matters stand, Senator Kenyon can now asso- ciate with the gentlemen of the bench. He will not have to breathe the same air with Newberry. Speaking at Albany yesterday in support of the Port Authority, Al Smith sald: “The Mayor said he had been fighting tie plan for two and a half years, and the Comp- | troller complains of lack of co-operation. You can’t co-operate with a man who has a black- jack in one hand and a slungshot in the other.” Add a bogus nickel and @ fixed’ smile and you have the makings of a Hylan emblem. PLAN FOR PARKS. ‘N the course of the next few years, New York fs bound to catch up in housing. If tax exemp- tion and insurance investment will not fill the bill, some other building programme will have to go forward. When that happy day comes, the Health and | Tenement Departments will be in position to order the demolition of many old-law tenements in con- gested sections of the city. These buildings to-day are not properly habitable, but they have to serve | for want of better. The time is coming when they | Intelligent city management ought to be ready to | make the best of the opportunity then presented. The old buildings will come down in the very sec- tions where park space is most needed. The city should be making plans now to take over blocks and half blocks for park use in the most crowded Under condemnation proceedings the prices ought not to be excessive. The value to the city would be enormous. ‘All the territory in Manhattan below 59th Street has an entirely inadequate park area. Demolition of ramshackle tenements will provide opportunity to remedy this condition without prohibitive ex- pense. We wonder how many restaurant patrons clipped the story of the Omeha waitress who received @ thousand-acre ranch and a sum of money because she refused to accept tips. We further wonder how many had the nerve to show it to the Saughty lady ‘who dealt out the beans or pork chops, We finally wonder how many of the waitresses expressed preference for that sert of reward, and how many had rather havo a thin dime on the counter. FREEING THE PRINCIPAL. OHN D. ROCKEFELLER’S decision to relax the restrictions he placed.on the funds of the General Education Board, permitting the trustees to expend principal as well as interest, is significant in at least three ways. Mr. Rockefeller is interested in the continuing work of this character. If he frees the principal, 11 is probably with the expectation that others will take up the work where he leaves :f. When and if his gifts are exhausted, he must expect other rich men to provide funds for the continuance of the work. This action will silence some critics of the “foun dation” machinery of financing philanthropy. Such critics have feared that these funded fortunes in foundations would tend to establish absentee land- lordism in industry, perpetuating industrial contro! if the General Education Board spends the principal tof the fund, it is obvious the securities must go on meee 4 | AMARC RANE LOR AGN.

N the letter that sped to Albany while its author peed to Palm Beach, Mayor Hylan protests aguinst “any programme of so-called port development that is to be superim- was getting ready to posed upon the City of New York.” He says: “The Board of Estimate and Apportionment knows what {s best for port development and intends to develop New York’s port facilities to the highest degree.” The Board of Estimate does not know what is best for port development if it thinks New York's port facilities can be developed to the*highest degree New without the co-operation of the State of Jersey, The average citizen of New York is not so blind that he cannot see two sides to the North River. Nor is he so muddle-headed that he cannot grasp the need of considering the Jersey waterfront along ith New York’s water-front if there is to be any real improvement in the port taken as the great area of inter-related terminal and water, facilities that Nature made it. If the Mayor had dropped his tone of defiance, started on a basis of the many points in which his plan agrees with the Port Authority plan and then proceeded to his special claims for the city, we might get somewhere. Instead, he scowls at the Port Authority as a ter- rible monster that “proposes io build up for itself the greatest accumulation of power and property that has ever existed anywhere in the world.” Is the development of the Port of New York to be hindered merely to provide John F, Hylan with another bugaboo against which he can storm and thunder to impress the unthinking? Is he to tun the Government of this city into a stubbom jackass that will go nowhere, draw no load, but only kick and bray? The Mayor protests against having anything “‘su- perimposed upon the city.” What about superimposed obstinacy sightedness? Unless Mayor Hylan plans to abolish the State of New Jersey, as part of the Board of Estimate’s per- fect scheme of port development, he is still talking arrant, obstructive nonsense.

Take time to be brief. a mtatio: Yo the Editor of The Evening World: This is to ask you, and through you all civic bodies of the greater city who are interested in the work of charter revision now being dove by a special commission appointed by the Governor, to suggest to the commis- sion that the principles of propor- tional voting and proportional repre- sentation in New York municipal elections and municipal government be incorporated in the new charter. Proportional voting and representa- | tlon would do away with a number of evils in the political life of New \York against which the progressive j citizens of this city bave been bat- tling in vain for many years. First, it would tend to educate the | people of the City of New York along broad political lines, putting to the fore issues of principal and general importance inetead of petty district issues. Secondly, it would simplify the bal- lot and election machinery even if complicating the count of the vots and would make election thefts and vote burglaries Impossible. Thirdly, tt would do away with th: type of district representative who in roost cases is necessarily guided by narrow loca} and parochia’ {ntererts instead of the interests of the city ef large.

To the Editor of The Brening World Referring to statements tn yestor- day's papers that after Feb. 1 wages yn all Shipping Board ships will be \it 15 per cent, for officers and 25 per en® for seamen, I wonder if you know that an ablebodied seaman to- | ay gets $72.0 per month at the most when going to sea, and, since the Gov- ernment broke the union last year, | working anywhere from nine to six- | teen hours a day without extra com- | pensation. | An officer gets at least $110 pei month and overtime, If the Govern. |ment needs the money, I can’t under stand why the cut is not made to ay - ply equally, Another item tn anotne | ction of the paper states that even fav beathen Chlngsc, whe fu-day mas coptention as historical face by wi) 4 the! American ships, have gone on strike in Hongkong, leaving the Hoosier and Bay State to import 316 Filipinos from Manila by another Shipping Board 6teamer. I would also like to be informed why the Republican Administration {s not consistent in its policies. In the very same edition it states that Pres- ident Harding has opened a Post Of- fice at Iberia, O., simply because tie attended college there, despite the fact that it has been closed for two years This apparently was done for no other reason than to give jobs to his old friends, and every day such a fact can be corroborated by the new appoint- ments made. i It appears to me that the slozan| and use of ‘To the victors belong the, spots" went out of date some years ago. But Harding, with his |ine of hot air about normalcy, seems to think he can throw our good money away on foolish things, at the samo time cutting our wages for the second time in one year So that we can harily ex- ist.

U. to have all the people in the United States shave a blue star In their window to denote that the occupants of that houge do not touch intoxicating liquor."* May I suggest that all the people of the United States hav@ torches in their windows to denote that they still have some regard for and interest in that which ts represented, or meant to be, by the overworked but still (let us hope) ‘‘going some’’ word—liberty. For those who still have sufficient self-respect left to drink when and what they want, I suggest a silver star. Perhaps a suitable emblem for the Ww. C. T.

Experience is « good teacher, but it teaches but few branches of knowledge to the same person. You may de- pend on your Own experience for the best methods of doing afew things. But unless you learn to use second-hand expe- rience in your cours# of instruction, you will always be rather poorly informed. Experience employs inistakes and their disastrous conse- quences as its principal method of teaching. You know tbe importance of getting to work on time if you turn up late some morning and find another person in your job. You learn that laziness does not pay if a man who has more in- dustry than you is promoted over your head. You learn by the repeated performance of the same task how to eliminate extra motions, and get it done more quickly. e But you vannot Legin to know all that you need to know in the limited school of your own experience. To be p-e- pared for emergencies, you must be able to anticipate them. And you can do that only by reading and studying and find- ing out by the experience of others how this is best to be done. It is fortunate for you that the result and the benefit of practically all human experience is yours if you have the ap- plication to dig it out. It is printed in books—not text books alone, but in his- tory and volumes of trave!, even in novels. The well-read man, if he uses his brain as he reads. is constantly observing how other men meet and get the best of situations that may occur to any one born into the world. Text books are merely the record of human experienve in many lines, collected, printed and bound in covers, They show you how to avuid mistakes by doing things right in the first place, how to overcome difficulties by explaining how other men have overcome the same difficulties. One of the differences between a trade and a profession is that the man who has only a trade has gained all his knowledge first hand, by his own experience. The man with the profession has profited by the study of the experience of others, He can tackle and complete a job that he has never attempted before, merely because he has facilities for finding out how other men have tackled and completed it. A trade has a fised income, and never brings more than a decent competence, A profession may bring an income that will mean prosperity and a competence. You will never attain gither of these if you depend wholly on your own ex- perience. Learn how to profit by what other men have gone through, and you will start with a far better chance of ac- complisl we omeihing important before you are done. series of distinct testimonies extend- | ing from the end of the first to the end of the second century and issu- As the Saying Is Roman Catholic historians admit.”” Permit me to say that careful Cath- olic historians admit no such thing Jon page 748, volume 3), of th | Catholic Encyclopedia, Mr. Anderson | [may read: "st.

Psychoanalysis You and Your Mind By ANDRE TRIDON NO, XII—ANALYZING A SCRAP OF DREAM. Not only do we dream all night bub we dream at a terrific speed owing to 1 dream process known as condensa~ tion. Every word of a dream brings |back to us page after page of re+ | miniscences when we take the trouble of jotting them down. A patient who could not remember his dreams once came to my office and said; “There is no use, I can’t remember any~ thing.’ When I insisted, however, he said, ‘All I can remember of last night's dream is this: I saw a glass~ blower at work.” T assured him that there was enough material in that scrap of dream to keep us busy several hours. I asked hig) who the man was. “A fellow led Charles." Who is Charles? “A wealthy young fellow." Why should he be working a8 a glassblower? ‘'T don't know.” Have you a grudge against him? ‘*Yes."* , What did he do to you? Thereypom |dollowed the story of @ blighted ro« |mance. My patient was engaged once to a girl. He was and in fact is still deeply in love with her. Then she {and Charles met and Charles, his intl’ mate friend, carried her off and mare ried her. x That Charles's wealth may have had | something to do with the girl's chi jot heart is within the bounds probability. Hence in the dreang Charles has been deprived of the ad« vantages of wealth and reduced ta the condition of a manual laborer. If the unfaithful one loved him for hig wealth only she might abandon hing ty. ve rot the least interesting detail the dream, however, is the form of labor to which the dreamer sentenced his conscienceless friend.
