Hi TO PROTECT HIS EXHIBIT. ae RESIDENT HARDING means to make much # OY of an estimated reduction of $1,600,000,000 HA Federal outlay for 1922, including a saving of % $907,500,000 in more efficient and economic ad- ministration of the Government's routine business. With his mind on this concrete appeal to tak- Payers, the President may take a stiffer stand toward a soldiers’ bonus which would tend to spoil his economy exhibit. , Senator Borah says of the bonus: I F “If I should vote for it it would be a simple mattér of barter in which I use the people t money to buy somebody's vote; in which ac- } " count my political expenses would be charged , i to the taxpayer.” t Bidding for votes at such a price might well ; ; begin to Seem more precarious than a straight plea based on plain figures showing retrenchment and i saving. Nobody has yet demonstrated how many votes a soldiers’ bonus is actually worth. Congressmen f figuring on next November may be away off in ba their calculations. “If even at this late day Mr. Harding would permit himself one firm, quick stroke of resolute leadership he could burst the bonus bubble Commencement orators of the law schools soon will be pronouncing upon the statutory progress of the ages. We commend to their attention the thought that while plain stone was sufficient for the tablets of the Mosaic Code, the Volstead act had to be drawn from the solid ivory. é | TEXAS ON TRIAL. IEXAS is now on trial before the United States. Saturday's lynch-law burning of three Ne- groes charged with a revolting crime puts the brand on the whole State. ’ The authorities did not do their duty in protect- ing the prisoners. Will the State do its duty in punishing the recreant officials and the members of the mob? . The offense charged against the Negroes was Keinous. All the more reason for fair trial and quick punishment at the hands of the law—always providing the men were proved guilty. As so frequently happens, later news reports seem to cast doubt on the “confession” wrung from one of the dead blacks. Two white men are held in jail in connection with the murder. This suggests that the mob may have made a mistake— a mistake that cannot be rectified The South does not want a Federal police to prevent and punish lynching. Nor does the rest of the country. But that is what is certain to come unless Texas and the other States disprove the need. é Spee President Harding says he neither boasts of nor apologizes for nominations. But does he ever make nominations? Is he any more than the rubber stamp ou the nominations pledged by bis polilital man- agers and underwriters? Daugherty “put him over” and now Dau erty is paying the price in patronage. HENRY POMEROY DAVISON. Y the death of Henry Pomeroy Davison, still in his fifty-fifth year, the country loses a citizen whose ability, energy and usefulness should have been spared to it much longer Many Americans knew something of the earlier brilliant career of the young country school teacher who became a bank President at thirty-two and later a partner in one of the world’s biggest bank- ing houses. There were few Americans who did not know - and admire the man who gladly worked for $1 a year and paid his own expenses as head of the Red Cross War Council, the man whose grasp Of finance and organization was devoted to mak- ing effective the spending of hundreds of millions / > of dollars given to help those who were fighting, the man who achieved his purpose of Making the Red Cross one of the agencies that won the war. Mr. Davison was the kind of American who stands ready to put the.full force of his personal _ capacity into public service when the great need comes. There is no better kind of American SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD. JE seventy-fifth birthday party of the College . of the City of New York is scheduled to =xtend through the present week, although the actual anniversary of the founding of the New York Free Academy was yesterday. It is a far cry from the little downtown institu- tion to the great college on Washington Heights, but the idea has been constant. It is an idea that has grown from the consciousness of the people. The original authorization was approved by a a Popular vote of nearly six to one. !f the question _. @f continuation and expansion were put to a vote | the ratio would undoubtedly be greater. _ City College is different from most of the big _ BRiversities.

The college is fortunate in its present direction President Mezes is an educator with ideas and ideals and a progressive trend of mind that is already making itself felt in the body of gradu- ates, The college is growing. In fact, it is suf- fering from growing pains. It is seventy-five years young, as any of the City College-trained men will testify. City College has twenty-five years to go to com- plete a century of service. Those years promise much for New York. THEY'RE FOR YOU. HE Transit Commission is expected to make public this week detailed plans for some $260,000,000 worth of new subways. including a four-track subway under Eighth and Amsterdam Avenues for the entire length of Manhattan, an extension of the Seventh Avenue subway to Haflem River, a crosstown moving platform to replace the 42d Street shuttle between Times Square and the Grand Central, a crosstown Brooklyn line to con- nect Queensboro Bridge Plaza with Central Brook- lyn, and a Brooklyn-Staten Island tunnel under the Narrows. Every one of these is a transit project of deep interest to people of New York. The only hope of transit relief lies in new construction intelligently planned and speedily started matter of profound public concern and ought to be so recognized by every aduilt citizen. The planning is a Getting the plans before the public by-means of moving pictures is a good idea. The Transit Com- mission should employ this form of educative pub- licity as widely and with as much graphic appeal as possible. The movies reach millions. Transit matters to millions, But the public itself has got to bring interest, open-mindedness and good sense to these transit proposals. Politics, prejudice, foolish perversions of fact should not be allowed to blur public per- ception of matters So important. Last Friday's scene at the Board of Estimate Meeting was evidence of how Mayor Hylan means to use public sentiment whenever and wherever he can exploit it for his own purposes in fighting the Transit Commission ‘The question whether it is too late to have a subway instead of an elevated extension of the I4th Street-Eastern District subway is one that calls for sober consideration based on all the pros and cons. The Mayor pounced on this particular item in the programme merely as one that gave him a chance to ring cowbells, rally his cohorts and spout defiance at the Albany. The general argument for subways as agginst new elevated structures is one in which The Eve- ning World thoroughly believes. ‘That argument is none the weaker because Mayor Hylan makes unseemly noise over the 14th Street-Eastern ex- tension. But the Mayor's methods give point to what we urge: More all-around public interest in the transit situation; a broad, non-political attitude toward great traction projects upon which future con- venience and comfort depend, hese projects deserve more than the trained attention of Mayor Hylan’s bell-ringers They should have the open-minded study of every intelligent, loyal citizen of New York Remember, they're for you.

Just remember, too, that there are still some people who really love, who contemplate marriage, are willing to work and wait for it and make the whole affair-as near as possible what our Creator meant it should be.

Yo the Editor of ‘The Evening World It really seems too bad that certain persons find it necessary to merci- tessly knock any one and everything which, though good in themsely« do not happen to appeal to the taste of this inevitable anvil chorus o the rotten point of view. Especially is it deplorable when somo of these individuals make this their life work, their chiéf gbject of existence, apparently. ‘These self-appointed apostles of the hammer seem to find unspeakable joy in slurring and sarcastically criticis- ing love, marriage and kindred sub- jects. Their chief delight seems to be in broadcasting and exaggerating the faults and shortcomings of mere the long-suffering and sacrifi- role of the average wife, the hopelessaess of happy marriages and he utter folly and falsehoods of love and romance, Where do they get that stuff? Love is the greatest thing in tie wortd, greater even than faith or hope, the Bible says (1 Cor. 13), Marriage is the norma! and right consummation of true love. These things are ingtituted of God Almighty, who saw it Was not good for man to live alone, so he gave him a mate and told them to be fruitful and multiply. ‘This is every one's right and duty, to really love, marry, settle down and raise a family, the only excuse for not doing 80 being financial or phyai- cal inability, Look over the really great people. Were they not nearly all married and in possession of a family? 1 guess #0. The male addicts to this pastime are just as bad. They find nothing better to do than bitterly assail the fair sex and these aforenamed insti tutions.

The typhus bacillus has been found in the internal organs, the mesenteric glands, spleen, liver and kidneys of persons who have died of typhoid fever—a well characterized endospo- rous bacillus—and always the same kind. This species grows in charac- teristic form and abundantly on gela- tine and blood serum. In shape it is not unlike bacillus amylocacter, but considerably smaller in size. Bacillus typhus vegetates in the form of eylin- drical rods, THEODORE BERGMAN. New York City, May 4, 1922. ‘Yo the Editor of The Evening I would like to give some light on the “Theory of Evolution” articles by Ransome Sutton, In the Aquarian Gospel of the Christ it relates that the triune God breathed forth and seven spirits stood before his face. Hebrews call these Elohim. These forms of life are but the thoughts of God. Men call these ether planes of protoplast, earth, plant, beast, man, angel, cherubim, These are not seen by eyes of man in flesh, but when the will became sluggish then the ethers of these seven spirits began to vibrate slower and slower and the creatures of these planes were clothed in coarser garb, pnd this is what is called the fall of man, but protoplast, earth, plant and beast were included in this fall Angels and cherubim fell not; their wills were strong.

Sometimes we get ideas when we are Jeast intent on our own occupation, That, of course, is not often, if we are reatty busy. In a time of competition it is profitable to be as intent on our own occupation as possible, lest somebody else by more intent on the same sort of work gains the prize that’ we are after, But in the evening and on Sundays and holidays there is some opportunity to look at the world, and admire it and, above all, to think about it. In spring this is especially valuable, for we find that, although it may not have our divine reasoning powers, Nature can teachsus a good many lessons that we would do well to learn. Spring is Nature's busy season and it is her time of preparedness. The robins and vrioles are doing their spring building, and planning with what seems far more than instinct to make their habitations as difficult as possible for’the cats and owls to reach. Down on the surface of the ground an acorn which has laid under the snow all winter is graduajly digging itself in by sinking a little as the mud softens® Presently it will send one arm down into the ground after food and another one up after air. And the foundation of a great oak tree has been laid. he Great oak trees, thus founded perhaps a hundred or more years ago, are drinking nitrogen out of the air and plant food ont’ of the soil so that they may blossom and bring forth other acorns next fall. If all these acorns were allowed to grow they would soon cover the’ land with a forest, which is perhaps ‘the plan of the oak tree, although it says nothing about it, con- tenting itself with repeating its procreative process every spring. Just beneath the sod move armies of insects and worms. The benevolent angle worm is transforming leaf mould into fertile soil for the benefit of the trees and plants. The malevolent grub worm is searching around for seeds that he may destroy, in furtherance of his private plan to make his own race domjnate fhe earth. But plant and animal life is all busy—all planning— never resting or complaining of the backward season or the untimely heat. Go out from time to time this spring and see it all. and by and by perhaps you will send to us the moral that we are going to omit from this editorial.

XVIIL—ORIGIN AND GROWTH oF RELIGION. : The highest races of mankind have passed through the same stages of culture. All the Aryan-speaking races were once barbarians, and the ances~ tors of those barbarians were sav- ag ince all civilized nations bave passed through the same experiences which savage tribes are experiencing to-day, by studying the retigions of savagery we may ascertain what modern religions were in the begin- ning. t have persdnally visited” the Wauraus, whom 1 regard as the low~ est tribe of han beings on the earth to-day. They fnhabit parts of the Orinoco Delta. Since at high tide the low-lying lands are largely, submerged, the Wauraus have taken to building bamboo abodes among the tree-tops. Arbor! in their habits, they are not very far removed from the apes. ‘These simple natives have dreams, and they believe that their dreams are real experiences. A dreamer tells of wandering into strange places at night, yet he knows and the othe know that he did not stir from his hammock So they have come to believe that each individual embodies personality—one visible, hunts by day the other in- visit which journeys out of the sleeping body, roams around ~ under the moon, makes no noises and leavs no tracks. Always it returns into the body before the sleeping body wakes, Savages generally, [ am informed, and the Wauraus in particular, think of death as a long sleep. When the long sleep comes the invisiblp per- sonality leaves the body for goad, yet there is a belief that it may some time return and re-enter the body, provided the body can be kept in- tact. Accordingly the custom origin- ated of wrapping dead bodies in blan- kets and placing them on tall stilts in order to protect them from wild beasts. Bows, arrows and food are placed beside the corpse, so that when the spirit returns and the body becomes alive it will not be defense- Jess and hungry Departed spirits are supposed to be of two kinds: the good spirits of those who kept the tribal laws, and the bad spirits of those who broke the laws. Since good and bad spirits could not dwell happily together, two abodes are believed to exist, one very delight~ ful, the other very gruesome, Be- cause the Unseen spirits can see what is going on in the tribe, the tribesmen treat their living relatives kindly for fear of offending the spirits. If a person does a wrongful ‘act against another person who dies, the living person goes to great extremes to pro- pitiate the spirit of the dead. The Wauraus have not yet attained to a belief in a Great Spirit. The more advanced Indians of North America, however, at the time the continent was discovered, thought of the Happy Hunting Grounds, whe good spirits dwelt, being domin- ated by a Great Spirit%{who ruled over all the world.

A convenient explanation, After which we take something for our stomach and a headache powder. And we fail to realize that any, kind of food, even the purest and most wholesome, may give us a headache if eaten in the wrong mood. On the other hand, a healthy, normal, cheers ful human being could probably de- your quantities of slightly decayed food without feeling the worse for it, Let us see the physiology of it all. The body protects itself against pois-, onous germs by placing sentinels at the important points of the road fol- lowed by food. When food is taken into the mouth, saliva, which isa fine disinfectant, {s poured over it whi the teeth are dividing Yt ub into mi- nute particles, If we chef our food properly very few bacteria have a chance of esceping that disinfecting process. When. food reaches the stomach It is submitted to furth sterilization by acids. When it leaves the ston fh and enters the intestine other disinfectants, in particular the bile, modify it and destroy whatever few nocive germs might have escaped the saliva and the gastric secretions. But now suppose we are worried, suppose we had a row at the dinner table, suppose we are affected by som fear, conscious or unconscio! saliva stops flowing, our gast is scanty, our bile secretion n lacking. {ood ‘goes down hard, seoms to ‘stay on our stomachs" and a tremondous amount of work Is ne- cessary on the part of our intestine to assimilate a mass of-stuff which has not been properly broken up or dis- solved, Food kept in a warm place without being sterilized decays very fast and we experience a few mild symptoms of intestinal polsoning, the most prominent among them being a headache. : Fear, anger and worry, not the food we partake of, are the cause of thousands of headaches which fol- low our meals. If they cannot be allayed or removed entirely, the thing ta do is not to eat or tg-gat so spar. ingly that our scanty”seefétions ane able to properly the few mouthfuls take to relleve our hunger.
