BARBAROUS MOVING DAY. UGUST and September the months in which tramp streets and answer advertisements in search of a change in apartments All this is preliminary to Oct. 1, when most of the levses leaseholds become cttective “Moving Day” in New and nonsensical development of our civilization There is neither rh squeezing all the chan, residence into one day, or ever mto a week either side of the first day of October Van owners, decorators, electric light and gas employees, furniture and supply and, worst of all, the moving families themselves are inconvenienced by the jam. To make it worse, it is so evidently There is no reason why all New York City leases should expire on Oct. |. Other cities manage their moving problems without so mugh incon- venience. New York ought +o reform. The van men have a programme of distribut- ing lease dates according to a graded scale of rents, all apartment leases fer less than a cer- tain sum to expire Sept. |. The intermediate rentpayers retain Oct. | as “Moving Day.” Leasing dates for more expensive apart- ments go over to Nov. | This is one suggestion. Such an arrangement would obviously be better than the present tem. But the van men would willingly accept any other distribution plan that would gain the support of landlords It is up to the landlords to act through their associations. Immediate is desirable so that the changes in leases may be made effective in the ones to be signed in tha next few weeks. Put an end to the terrors of “Moving Day.” {t is as much of a hardship to the landlords and their employees as to the tenauts and the trades- men concerned are weary househeiders the Day and Moving expire new Yerk is a barbarous e nor ‘eason in collective inconvenience of of houses useless. list of action A PICTURE OF A LIFE. {IE unusual provisions in the will of the di late Dr. Jokichi Takamine, made, public yesterday, give us, after all, a fair picturé of the man and his interests In stating his wishes in regard to the disposal of his body, he gave science the first chance. A scientific friend was to be allowed, if he so de- sired, to examine and experiment and find out what he could that would be of service to science and to mankind If this provision was not carried out, the body was to be cremated and the ashes divided be- tween Dr. Takamine's native iand of Japan and the home of his adoption This was the order of Dr. lakamine’s interest in life. He was first a scientist and a great one Outside the cosmopolitan empire of knowledge he was a man of two affections—tfor Japan and for the United States. His devotion and service to both was a credit both to Ur to the two nations. Science and international re if there were more men of huis Fakamine and UNCLAIMED BRIDES.

VOTES ITH the fourth up-to-d summary in hand and a total of sme 480,000 votes classified, the Literary Digest poll on Prohibi- tion continues its steady showing of national dissatisfaction with the state of things under Volsteadism It is granted by fair observers that a stage has now been reached at which the count may be ac- cepted as an approximate iadcation of the real condition of the public mind. The exhibition then, of a 62 per cent. vote tor modification of the law under the amendment is emphatically encouraging tor all those who believe in the rule of reason and honest The Digest itself finds it imteresting to note that only two of the States stand in the balloting as favoring the continued effort to enforce the States Kansas the Amer- where the travel- modification and by Volstead hypocrisy.

There is room for the presumption set forth by 4 number of commentators that the state of the balloting may be accepted to some degree as an expression of the feeling that Prohibition is an issue peculiarly for settlement by States, or smaller divisions; that the great blunder of the Anti-Saloon League lies in its nationalization of the “dry” dictatorship, Sentiment to this effect has been in evidence from the beginning of the A. S. L. crusade. The Prohibition extremists are entitled to— and need—what comfort they can get from such assertions as that in The Baptist, a Chicago pa- per, that New York voted 3 to 1 against repeal—the fact being that this State shows 20,- 568 for enforcement, 33,058 for and 19,161 for repeal has modification THE LIE DETECTOR IN COURT.
