HE results of yesterday's election in Maine carry scant cheer for Republican leaders who know a pig from a pikestaff In the first place, the Republican majority in this Republican stronghold looks to be only half what was confidently predicted More significant still: The Republican vote in Maine fell off 50,000, while the Democratic vote gained 3.000 This means that upward of 40,000 Republican voters chose not to vote at all rather than seem to give their approval to the Republican record of the past eighteen months. And this in a State of cloistered Republicanism, where economic and social consequences of Ad- Ministration bungling have been less felt than in any other corner of the country! Shrewd Republican appraisers are not going to fool themselves with the fond delusion that a Normal Republican majority in Maine, with 40,000 Republicans not voting. means more than what has happened in the primaries of Pennsyl- vania, lowa, Indiana and Wisconsin Not this vear ‘ The former “Sick Man of Europe” fo be about as chipper as anybody seems these days. DE VALERA TALKS. N_ AN interview printed in the Manchester Evening News, De Valera is quoted as say- ing of the Irish struggle: “No one has gained by the war and all have lost by it.” This comes well from the man who more than any one else is responsible for it. In the same interview De Valera is reported as declaring himself still opposed to the treaty but suggesting that some revision could be ob- tained “if men of good will would set themselves to the tas Meaning by “men of good will” men who have not hesitated to enlist every skulking instinct of lawlessness and murder in Ireland against a fair Prospect of peace and_ self-government with which a majority of the Irish people are well Satisfied? Meaning by “men of good will’ men whose jealous fanaticism would see Ireland rent with strife and dripping with blood rather than yield an inch of the wild tyranny they would exercise over her destinies? Heaven save Ireland from any more “imen of good will” like Eamon De Valera! ry The Winstein relativity theory is in the “fillums.”” With the Music of the Spheres. of course, Why ask?) ~ SMILINGLY TO SCHOOL. UT the Old World North there came ages ago a folk-saying concerning the three ornaments of a village, which were de- clared to be a song, a school and a smith in his smithy. Tribute was paid thus to the power of cheerfulness, intelligence and industry in daily life. Changes in national maps and in forms of government have not lessened the importance of this trio. It has become a fact perhaps of more general recognition that the school, if properly provided for and rightly conducted, is the natural feeder to the spirit of song and of work- aday usefulness Taking note yesterday of the opening of the schools of New York for a fresh season, The Evening World was at pains to tell by printed word and picture that many of the city’s boys and girls were returning to their classes with smiles. These are such smiles as should be per- mitted never to come off. It ought to be the first business of the community to make them permanent. They are the marks of the willing and the eager scholars. The tale of the years is that New York has fot been sufficiently inspired by the sight of little learners going singing and smiling to their studies. Had it been fortunately otherwise, we should at the moment have less of politics and part-time making mischief in the public school system. There has been no dearth of promises of better things in our educational department. Perform- ol / THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, ance has lagged and still | We should say Administration that its time to actual school bett ided to devote a City seven-eighths of ment would be profitably employed Shall we have to wait lor tangible results in school reform upon the growing into stimulative citizenship of some of the small men and women who went smiling yesterday to the classrooms? THE MONSTER. Republican National Platform of 1920 TU! careful not to promise too early a passing out of tariff favors to the expectant It said “The uncertain and unceltled condition of international balanees, the abnormal economic and trade situation of the world, and the im- possibility of forecasting accurately even the near future, preclude the formulation of a definite programme to meet conditions a year henee, But the Republican Party reaffirms il belief in the protective principle and pledges itself to a revision of the tariff as soon as con- ditions shall make it necessary for the preserva: tion of the home market for Amerjcan labor, agriculture and industry.” It has been a long wait But in the end a Republican Congress has tried to console the hungry by the number and size ot the mouthfuls, . From Sugar to shingles the Lordney-MeCum- ber ‘Tariff Bill, which Congress is expected to pass this week, provides that certain things all the American people must have shall in future cost them enough more to put millions of dollars extra profits into the pockets of a few who make or sell these things. On the specious plea of “preserving the home market for American labor, agriculture and in- dustry,” the American workman or the Ameri- can farmer wilf be forced to pay higher prices for a hundred commodities he must buy, while the tariff tries to keep him befooled here and there with a duty on the one commodity he produces The present tariff bill, however, has over- reached itself It is so outrageous that its own framers long since became frightencd of it, Staunch Repub- No- m 7 body is now expected to praise ft unless he is lican newspapers have turned sick over it one of the few to whose pockets—with a reminds of campaign fund needs—it is dedicated “Reaffirming its belief in the protective prin- ciple,” this Republican Administration has, in fact, created a tariff monstrosity so shocking that for good and all the Republican Party's tradi- it may ultimately discredit and wipe out tional tariff issue. The Soldiers’ Bonus Bill is out of confer- ence and ready to be reported to the Houve. Have the experts figured how many votes it would bring if vetoed, as against the yield if it got through? ' TOO GOOD A MEMORY. 1 is most unfortunate, in the midst of the es- | citement over the Kipling outbreak, that an Englishman should be so unkind as to remember what Ambassador George Harvey said about this Nation: , “It must be recognized, however, that we have the word of your Ambassador, Mr George Harvey, for it that you did come into the war for your own interests, and we in Eng- land find it very hard to disbelieve an Am- bassador.” Vhus Me. Harold Spender of the delegation from the British Sulgrave Foundation Mr. Spender will, no doubt, recall the old definition of g diplomat: “A man sent abroad to lie for his country.” Col. Harvey got it a little mixed and thought it meant “to lie about his country Which may lead some persons to ask again whether Col, Harvey ever was or will be a diplomat. But that, as Mr. Kipling might once have said is another story ACHES AND PAINS Too bud Mr, Kipling is so peeved over the U. 8.
