ANGUS SHAW, Treasurer, 63 Park Row. JOSEPH PULITAEN Recrotary, 63 Sunday by The Pross Publishing VOTE-BAIT. [' il goes as planned, the country will be treated to-morrow to a brave spectacle, Under a suspension of rules, Republican leaders will jam through the Lower House of Congress a a blow at national prosperity bonus bill which and a travesty of its own pretended purpose The eflect will be before the eyes of voted to reward ex-service men. What the Senate may do to the bill or what the President may do to it if it comes to him is a mat- ter for cynical indifference. The same the consequences to the country if by any chance the bill should be passed by both Houses of Congress and signed by the President. The essential thing is that Congressmen should be able to use this bonus bill for whatever good they can get out of 1! in the coming elections The President has not disapproved such use of the bill. On the contrary, he has been careful to keep hi so-called firmne © on the bonus question from en croaching that far on the plans of the vote-catchers There it stands: A reward proposition, which the Nation adrmtted]) cannot afford to entertain, left for Congressmen to exploit. A soldiers’ bonus tured into vote-tni'' Is the country proud of it? ‘ holds for Flas it ever occurred to President Harding that the first four letters of “harmony” spell “harm”? MORE UP-STATE TYRANNY! AYOR HYLAN, re-elected, approves the salary boost he denied himself when seeking re- election. Considering the approval voiced by certain spokes- men for “the interests,” the act of signing must have been agony for a man who knaws that “the interests” are ‘ways again! the people. The Mayor naturally resented the dictation trom Albany, but what could he do? Nevertheless, the Mayor is right now as he was wrong when he refused a similar bill last: year. There is not a shadow of coubt that the Mayor of New York should command a salary of $25,000 a year. He should also earn it several times over. New York needs men in the Mayor's chair who would sacrifice te take the office even at that figure. With the exception of the Presidency, it is the big- gest job in the country. In accepting the salary boost the Mayor is in- consistent. That is encouraging. Mayor Hylan has heen altogether too consistent He has other policies which should be changed. From a $25,000 Mayor we have a right to es pect more than from a $15,000 Mayor, Here's hoping Mayor Hylan will be inconsistent enough to eam the boost ‘ A SOUND MOTTO N THE Monday hearing on transit valuations Chairman McAneny of the Transit Commis- sion made a statement that does not seem to have received the attention it deserves. He said “The companies have no vested interest or right whatsoever in Inadequate service or in any of the conditions that have during the last few years.” This is a somewhat ment. But when the transit afiornevs have dige it, they will discover that it is a flat denial of the traction maxim that profits come trom the strap. hangers. is a direct blow at the t oil for dividends must be squeezed ¢ prevailed taf.the sub way sardines. “No vested ery good news for every transit patron in N interest it to the commission's ideal of every passenger as a “ of Service This standard of service, Mr. McAneny said hat the commission is now working toward “It will continue to demand that th: panies within their financial ability, whether it improves or whether it does not improve shall come as nearly as may be com possible to thore standards until they have actually been ~eached.” ‘No ve: d interest in inadequate service good motto for the com t and keep on the wall of the office. THANKS TO A SILVER MUZZLE, VER since the politiclans made ‘100 per cent.” the qualifying prefix to such good words as Yorkers have been accustomed to sum up the accomplish: ments of the Legislature and then add—"and the “Americanism” and “patriotism” New Lusk bills,” Whatever tho first lst assayed In good or bad, to dangle promissory notes ox-service men whose votes next fall are expected to reward Congressmen who have wy that the the Lusk bills could generally be damned in one comprehensive group It was different this year. No matter how much or little the Legislature accomplished, the record has a silver lining. Our most sterling “100 per center’ was present and voting, but he wasn’t making much noise about it Senator Lusk no longer felt it incumbent on him t up reputation and pass a per- f repression sonal programme Not an importa bill carried the name of the majority leader of Senate. The popular sport of “lusking” was under a sil- ver cloud, and Archibald Stevenson had an oppor- tunity to attend to his own business. Who says the Police Department doesn’t protect? Who says a silver service is misnamed? {t served to muzzle Lusk POOR SLEUTHING. gee HUGHES makes short work of Senator Borah's bogy of a secret agreement between the United States and Great Britain as to matters in the Pacific: “Any such statement is absolutely false. We have no secret understandings or agree- ments with Great Britain in relation to the four-Power Treaty or any other matter. “In my letter to Senator Underwood on March 11, Treaty, T said: There are no secret notes or in relation to the Four-Power understandings. “Permit me to express the hope that the American delegates will be saved further as- persions upon their veracity and bonor.” The hope is vain if every reference made in the United States or elsewhere to strengthened Anglo- American friendship can be perverted on the floor of the Senate into sensational “proof” of secret dealings between the American Government and tne Government of Great Britain. If the treaty-fighters were looking for this kind of spectre, they surely need not have confined themselves to the remarks af Mr. Paul Cravath. The same week Mr. Cravath said what he did say in New York, the American Ambassador to the Court of St. James's delivered a speech at the Pilgrims’ dinner in London, in which he clasped the British lion to his American bosom, lauded the guest of honor, Mr. Balfour, just back from Wash- ington, and extolled the new Anglo-American fra- ternity as the brightest hope of the civilized world. Why didn’t Col. Harvey’s eloquence on that occasion awaken the awful suspicion that Mr. Bal- four had a secret compact with Secretary Hughes in his pocket? Why didn’t some United States Senator see the sinister significance of the Harvey paeans? These Senatorial sleuths are slow If they are bent on detecting the crime of Anglo American friendship, they needn't depend on one measly little clue. They have thousands to follow up---all in \ttorney General Daugherty voice pious determination to “protect the public” in the coal strike. But it sounds almost like an echo of the National Wholesale Coal Association demand that the public “keep its hands off and lot the strike be a fight to the finish.” The “finish” of a strike is usually a “finish for the public until the industrial battle | renewed under different terms Then the 11 Nic is finished again.

Rusting machinery stored in rickety sheds or left in the sun and rain is the sign of a shiftless farmer. Locomotives in bad repair, cars with “flat’” wheels, sncps with out of date machinery are convincing indications that that railroad is going into bankruptcy. To prosper you aust keep your machinery in good con- divion. That means, first, an understanding of its construction aud purposes. Second, untiring industry. The machine that was given you at birth is the most complicated machine in existence. ‘ Yet it is automatic and as fool-proof as any machine can be. All it needs is a little consideration, It even makes its own repairs, which is something that no machine made by human hands can possibly do. Upon the use of that machine depends your happiness asd your success. When the joints begin to creak and the signal s o suffer from cross wires, you might as well quit. won't be much good after that.

But not for long. Sooner or later it will begin to creak in the hinges. Sooner or later, delicate mechanisin will be come deranged and then all the doctors in the world cannot fix it.
