HERE have been some low ratings put upon popular intelligence in New York But has anybody ever insulted that intelligence as Mayor Hylan and his Police Commissioner are now insulting it? For months past citizens of New York have been suffering from a formidable outbreak of hold- ups, safe-crackings, home-lootings, every kind of thuggery and theft, with frequent accompaniment of murder. To tell the public it has suffered nothing of the sort is to call the public a fool. One might just as well tell the 5,500,000 people of Greater New York that they all spent a happy winter in California or on the Riviera without a care in the world. Here is Enright now putting practically the whole police force on overtime duty, sending cap- tains and inspectors on patrol, suspending vaca- tions, postponing the police parade, ordering a general round-up of crooks. Yet even now he asks the public to believe he is doing all this only “to allay the excitement created by newspaper propaganda”! x Circular Order No. 6, issued from Police Head- quarters last Saturday night, contained the fol- lowing: “The gambling trust, the vice trust and their promoters among certain powerful newspapers, together with the professional agitator within and without the department, have resumed their profession of lauding criminals and encouraging crime throughout the city in the promotion of their political and financial fortunes * * * “The ‘hue and cry’ raised by this agitation within the past two weeks has required a return to the ninesquad system” * * * “Newspapers in this city are allies of the up- State traction group of Republican politicians,” shouts the Mayor. “Newspapers in this city are in league with gam- blers and vice mong@¥s,” shouts Enright. Chorus: “The Newspapers are Tools of the Traction Trust, the Gambling Trust and the Vice Trust—Trust Us!” What does this crazy duet matter, it may be asked, so long as the Mayor and his Police Com- missioner at last realize they must get on the job and fight crime? It matters just this: The people of New York are entitled to a Police Commissioner who can do his duty with some- thing more than a snarl and a sneer. They are entitled to'a Mayor who rates their intelligence higher than to try to tell them most of their newspapers are being run for the benefit of traction interests, gamblers and organized vice. Enright knows Gov. Miller's eye is on him as one “to hold responsible if New York is not made safe.” Enright knows the Governor has power to remove him. Enright wouldn’t be Enright if, in doing what fear for himself forces him to do, he did it without showing his contempt for the -public and its alarms. Mayor Hylan wouldn’t be Mayor Hylan if he lost a chance to attribute whatever is wrong in New York to the hellishness of the newspapers. That is the standard and spirit of the Municipal Administration with which the biggest city in America has to meet a serious crime emergency. Who says it doesn’t matter? De Valera’s Easter message was “Fight On.” Michael Collins seems to have taken the advice by chasing and capturing a would-be assassin. Maybe this will suggest to De Valera that he is in for a real fight if he encourages civil war. BEHIND ON THE HANDSHAKING. NSPIRED news stories from the White House inform us that President Harding shook hands with 7,500 persons last week. That doesn’t begin to be fast enough. More than 16,000,000 persons voted for President Har- ding in 1920. On a basis of 7,500 a week, Mr. Harding wouldn’t get around to more than about 10 per cent. of his supporters in four years. The President will have to do better than that. How can he hope for renomination if Congress doesn’t help him and he finds time to shake hands with only so small a minority of his constituents? The obvious thing is for the President to speed up and make it snappy. The White House statis- tician informs us that the handshakers filed past the President at the rate of from forty to fifty-five aminute, By ing it one a second the Presi- dent could salute 3,600 per hour of 36,000 in a ten hour day, a round 200,000 in a week and more than 10,000,000 in a year With nearly o, the President, if he adopts this schedule, could personally salute 30,000,000 voters and that is a larger number of votes than were cast for him and for Mr. Cox, it not be able to bear three years Of course a President mig up under the strain leave much time for running the Government But what—in an era ilcy—can compare with the joy of handshakin ‘ ie schedule doesn't for the buslhess of WHAT THE COAL INDUSTRY NEEDS. jus coal situation A analysis of the | made public by the Russell Sage Pounda- tion bears out the point emphasized by The Eve- ning World. ‘The overmined. ‘Troubl: ment is regularized The report says industry overmanned and I! continve until employ- : ) “Greater security in must be made the foundation for better human relations in this industry “The miners in the soft coal industry might well ask for a guaranteed minimum of employ- ment as the basic need, taking precedence over wage adjustments this year.” - "The necessity for regarding a reasonable min- imum of employment as a fixed charge upon the industry would probably make operators relue- tant to open new mines.” employment The Foundation’s report is not a new investiga- tion. The facts on which these conclusions are based are taken from previous investigations of the coal industry, from reports to Federal depart- ments, from other statistics embalmed in many places. Sooner or later the demand for Federal interven- tion will become so strong our laggard Adminis- tration will be forced to When a coal com- mission is appointed it need not go over old ground in collecting facts, What is needed is cour- age and intelligence to invent or adapt definite machinery for dealing with the surplus men and the surplus mines. What is needed is a programme that will be le- gal and workable and in the interests of the pub- lic, the operators and the miners. This is a big order, but it is not impossible. Once the public is convinced, the operators and miners can be led—or driven, if necessary. + Well, with an oil grab and a grab tariff om the programme it looks as though the 7,000,000 majority is getting what it voted for in 1920, Maybe the Grand Old Party has given up hope for itself and is grabbing the assets prepa tory to going through the bankruptcy court. MUNICIPAL GOLF. HIE municipal golf courses at Pelham, Mosh- olu and Van Cortlandt Parks are open for the season, and the interest among players is keen. Those wite play golf propose to have more sa this year and have organized an association to act with the city and to encourage extensions of golf- ing privileges. What seems even more necessary is organization of those who are barred from playing. The three golf courses now in use are all in the extreme northern section of the city. Upper Manhattan and the Bronx are now fairly well provided. Granting that lower Manhattan is not a suitable place for municipal links, it is nevertheless a fact that the would-be players of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond Boroughs are too far from the courses to make play possible. The newly organized golf association ought to bend its best efforts to encourage the city to a wider programme and a fairer division of oppor- tunity for all who want to play the game. Radius for radius, the population of Largest New York now beats that of Greater London by 344,508.

To the Editor of The Evening World Now that Sir A, Conan Doyle is here spreading the message of spirit- ualism I would like to forth briefly the state of the dead as re- vealed in the Scriptures.
