F Cartoonist Cassel were not on his vacation he might have contributed to this page a picture of a Democratic Senator listening to Republicans excoriating the Tariff Bill. The picture might have been of a prosperous and happy looking individual sitting back with his thumbs in the armholes of his vest and a broad smile on his face The title of the picture might have been the doughboy's slang phrase: “Sitting Pretty.” Chairman Adams of the Republican National Committee will have to do far better than he did the first of the week to convince the American people that the Democrats are filibustering against the tariff. Why should they, when Republicans like Len- ' root and Edge and Moses are exposing the bill? And Lenroot and Edge and Moses are the true friends of the Republican Party, not McCumber and Fordney. New York has mosquitoes, Washington has {ieas; You're sure to find trouble, go where you please j FIRST OF ITS KIND. HOOPING cough is no joke—either to children who have it or to children who may get it. J i It is now generally recognized that children re- j covering from whooping cough have extra need i of good food and fresh air to ward off after ef- j ‘ fects that may be serious. } That's where The Evening World Kiddie Klub 1 Country Fund has stepped in and provided, with Hi the co-operation of the Health Department, a place i where the “whoopers” can get strong and well. | Friends have been generous in giving Grade “A” milk, clothing and games. The Riverside Island camp is so flourishing that Acting Health Com- missioner Monahan declares it to be “the duty of every good citizen of this city to promulgate news of the commendable work being done there,” so that more poor children may have the benefit of it. “very kiddie with whooping cough needs the country and every child who has whoop- ing cough is poor—for no charity, no camp, no hotel, will accept them. The Kiddie Klub | aoe PESTS have made bad weather worse. Ma- rauding MOSQUITOES and ‘feasting FLEAS prey on people and animals. Caterpillars damage parks. ° One pesky pest has been rendered inactive. The Davy Automatic Fire Escape Corporation, composed largely of municipal employees and Tammany politicians, suffered a BLIGHT OF PUBLIVITY in The Evening World. Their $24,000,000 graft plan now looks like 80 cents. Would it were as easy to overcome mos- quitoes and fleas! Why not conscript Mr. Garvan and Mr, Daugherty for service in New York? They have been spouting POISON GAS in regard to chemical patents. Put it . to goed use. Gas the caterpillars, Elmer Dover is reported to have decided that the ‘Treasury Department has ON!) MELLON HE CAN- NOT CUT. It is rumored he is asking a transfer to the pork barrel department of tar Budget Bureau. In tts second week the STRIKE OF RAILROAD SHOPMEN has undergone a change for the worse. Some violence has been report. More men have heen callea out, And tne manasers, contrary to the adyice of Chairman Hooper, refuse to meet the men, The spokesmen of the emplo have adopted a “holier-than-thou” attitude which the facts do not warrant. The COAL STRIKE seems .» » fair way of being settled, not because either the operators or the min- ers are satisfied with President Harding's arbitration plan but rather because the pub)ic !* so unanimously in favor of it. “The B.

Hence this newspaper's Kiddie Klub—wwhich ts an all-the-year-round standby for the youngsters and which one day this week helped 27,000 chil- dren and 8,000 mothers to a good time at Coney Island, with the Luna Park management furnish- ing a liberal share of the tun. Hence the Kiddie Klub camp for “whoopers,” which may faisly claim to be the first of its kind TRY ANOTHER WAY. INAL decision against the city’s effort to oust the New York Central from its holdings along the Hudson River was not unexpected. This effort having failed, it will now be neces- sary to try another tack The expansion of Riverside Park to the river's edge is as desirable as ever. The smoke and noise are disagreeable. The tracks, yard and equipment are unsightly and dangerous in a place that could have been safe and beautiful if proper foresight had been exercised If the Central cannot be driven, perhaps it can be led. Perhaps the Port Authority can con- trive to offer the Central something as good—or better—if it will surrender the shore tracks. The city, too, could hinder and harass the rail- road by forcing electrification, by requiring bet- ter policing of Death Avenue, by demanding more crossings to the river, and other changes tnat would cost the Central money. . Perhaps a combination of leading and driving would be most effective, the Port Authority offer- ing something and the city threatening with an alternative if the Port Authority proposal is not accepted. But this would require co-operation between city and Port Authority. The Central can prob- ably sit easy as long as the present Administra- tion is in power. Without intending to be, Mayor Hylan is a true friend to those corpora- tions that flourish by obstruction. BRIDES AND THE SELF-SUPPORTING TEST. R. ANNA W. HOCHFELDER of Brooklyn is seeking a Senatorial nomination on a platform the most striking plank of which is a proposal .hat a bride must prove she is self-sup- porting before she may marry. Apparently this is a long step in advance of even the most militant feminism. But is it? The feminists might make a case against it as the ulti- mate in reaction. . Time was when most properly reared young women could have passed the test. They could bake, sew, weave, “put up” fruit, help in the butchering, make soap and candles, launder and perform a host of other duties of which many wives of to-day know little or nothing. In a word, the old fashioned girls were house- keepers, and if thrown on their own resources they could keep house for some widower or bache- lor, or for an invalid wife. Any girl to-day who could pass the tests regarded as essential in a wife of a hundred years ago could qualify under Dr. Hochfelder’s rule. THE WEEK. The sequel of SUZANNE'S VICTORY over Molla was an altogether unsportsmaniike alibi by the loser and somewhat caustic comment by the winner. Real sport opened in the big open GOLF tourna- ment at the Skokie Club. Tae event of the qualifying round was the matchless score made by Jock Hutch- ison. New Hampshire golfers are worried. Sunday base- ball in the State has been stopped by ANCIENT BLUE LAWS. The ball fans insist on no discrimination between games. Locally the BASEBALL situation is tense, The Giants hold an easy lead and the Yanks are fighting to regain the lead they had before the June toboggan slide, ‘ In Congress the TARIFF discussion on the peanut scaedule was regarded as symbolic, but in the more important cotton schedules the Finance Committee suffered Its severest setback through defections in the agricultural bloc. Thousands of VISITORS are enrolled tn summer schools at Columbia University and other educational institutions of the city. More thousands are week- ending in New York on the way home from the B, P. 0. B. Convention at Atlantte City. The Transit Commission has ordered 100 MORE B. R. T. TRAINS a day. Comptroller Craig says tho I. R. T. bas taken off some of the recently added trains. And MAYOR HYLAN is fulminating over Pyrene in the subway. If ae grows much warmer some one may, by mistake, train an extingulsser on Hizzoner. ACHES AND PAINS The King of England has gone and been to a horse race wearing a derby. The plug hat now goes into the British discard. We hope it stays there. . Mayor Hylan urges Mr. Hearst to form a third party, We thought the “third party” the yentieman wanted was Murphy. . Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt seems to hold the recard for motrimonial ventures, which makes it all the ore amosing that she should be cdamantine enough to resist seventeen proposels from the Shah of Persia even if otherwise engaged JOHN KEETZ. _' HE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1929, H YOU'D BE MORE FUL NEXT TINE YOu () G Beat_It! sents a NNR: ERI MR RRR Oopyright, 1922, sew Fork Brening Word?

Every week-end is the same, We're perfectly all right during the week till you appear—but from Friday night till Monday morning is a sort of nightmare from which it takes us nearly all the week to recover.” “All right.’ sald Denys, rising. “In future I won't come home."

To the Editor of The Evening World: I notice with Interest the space given in to-day's Evening World to the birthday of Henry David Thoreau, the naturalist, philosopher and rebel, of Concord and Walden. Thoreau is honored to-day in 1922, though in his own day his country- men put him in jail because he.refused to support a Government that in- dorsed human slavery. To-day there are cighty-seven pollti- cal prisoners in Leavenworth Peniten- tiary—workingmen who did not agree with their Government and their fel- low citizens on the righteousness of the war, ‘The question on my mind Is this: Will these political prisoners be honored as much in the year 2022 as the author of The Duty of Civil Dis- obedience’’ is honored in 1922? Any one who believes they will should sign one of the petitions now being circulated by amnesty commit- tees asking Vresident Harding to re- lease the political prisoners. ELIZABETH DE SILVER. Long Beach, July 12, 1922. The National Anthem, To the Editor of The Evening World: In answer to John Webb: Mr. Webb, judging from your trend of talk, you must be an idolater. Mr. Webb, do you remember what France did not very long ago? Do you forget the punishment France has received since? Do you know “without God we can do nothing Why should a country like Amer- fea cater to Idolaters, Taoists or Shintoists who never did anything for any country? When Columbus went out to dis- cover a new continent his intention was to carry God spel to others. So why should Mr. Webb talk in such a Pagan manner to a 90 per cent. Christian people LARCHMONTER.

Prohibition is too drastic. Weak- lings do not predominate! But for their protection liquors can be well regu- lated. Take Montreal, Canada, as an example.

What the majority of red-blooded Americans need and want is temper- ance of the Montreal, Canada, type It would restore respect and obrdi- ence for all laws in our great coun- try and also allow our Government to compete with the world with our merchant marine.
