Repeated tests have shown nong. Ins quiry has revealed none. Last week's primaries proved there has been and will be nore. The attempt to impose Hearst upon the Demo- cratic Party in New York State this fall isa costly piece of special engineering. i It has no more to do with the popular .wiil than other personal propaganda backed by a fat pocketbook. It is inconceivable t a convention repre 2. senting any part of the free voters of this com-.« monwealth can be captured by a millionaire demagogue and his agents. At the mere hint of such a danger the pride of the State should rise in its defense. The Interborough finds it furnished a little too much service yesterday. Don't let that worry it. It has some pretty léw records to average up. AN THAT SPECIAL SESSION. goannas correspondents . believe tne ty President is wabbling and.w:ggling-on his project of calling Congress back ‘to Washing- ton on Nov. 15 to enact Mr. Lasker’s Ship Subsidy Bill. 2°.’ With the situation as it is, the President, had s? Petter wait and see how the elections turn. + It is entirely possible the fate of the subsidy i may depend on the number of “lame ducks” the a Democrats bag at the polls. If the Democrats capture the House, President Harding may be able to pass his pet bill if he . is willing to pay the price. A short session cf ~~ Congress in which many members have been de- feated has been well described'as a “don’t-give-a- damn” Congress. The lame ducks have nothing to lose and much to gain. If his party loses dis- . ‘ vastrously, the President can dicker for votes by _ providing crutches for lame ducks in the forin ‘go Of Federal jobs. “~* If, on the other hand, the Defhocrats do no _ more than to cut majorities, the President will have a more difficult task to persuade Congress- & men to support so unpopular a measure. Y Heart The United States will stop scrapping war- ships until France and Italy have ratified the Five-Power Naval Treaty. France and Italy are gazing eastward. Their minds are not on disarmament. ’ WHEN IT COMES TO ENJOINING. oe S a simple illustration of the dangers of blanket injunctions, consider two para- poe from the explanation Judge Wilkerson shopmen. a ~The Judge said: “The only material question really : in dispute om the record is the responsibility in law of the defendants for the large number of unlawful acts shown to have been committed, most of by unknown parties.” again: “Theso unlawful acts are shown to bave been om such a large scale and in point of time and Dlace eo connected with the admitted conduct of the strike that it is impossible on the record to view them in any other light than as done in furtherance of 2 common purpose and as part . +» Phis last is the conclusion of a Judge, not the werdict of a jury. If a Judge may make his own pamacusions binding in the case of a strike, waat 40 prevent another Attorney General and an- i _ wouchsafed in granting the Daugherty injunction.. disorderly strike pickets. There are more boot- leggers than shopmen guilty of sabotage. But by changing the words “conduct of the strike” to “opposition to Prohibition,” a Judge with a streak of Antisaloonatic fanaticism might enjoin unlawful acts “by unknown parties” and conclude that officers of the Association Of posed to the Prohibition Amendment were responsible for the “common purpose” and “common plan.” STIFFENING TOWARD THE TURK. 66 2T out of the neutral zone within forty- eight hours,” is the reported ultimatum of the Allies to the Turkish military forces in Asia Minor. Earlier incursion of Kemal ¢ troops into the Neutral zone was explained as a “mistake” due to the belief that British troops had withdrawn. Subsequent Turkish movements in the Chanak section cannot be thus excused. The Allied attitude has to stiffen somewhere unless the whole parley with Kemal 1s to degen- erate into an abject proffer of terms to an ad- vancing conqueror. Another significant development is the reported readiness of the Sultan's Cabinet in Constanti- Nople to resign and give the Angora Government free play. This would undoubtedly mean the abdication, or at least complete retirement of the Sultan, and the establishment of a Kemalist Gov- ernor at Constantinople. The Turks understand the advantage of an undivided authority and a single policy—-partic- ularly where their opponents in the poli military game are at cross purposes. Ih this direction the European powers might \ell take a belated lesson from the Turks. cal and doy. Miller knows just what he will run oa and with whom. Downrlghtness !s one of hia hobbies. THE RUSH FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. S AN incident of the opening day at Harvard University comes the story of students who took chances and lost in the drawing for dormi- tories and then had to walk the streets when they were unable to find rooms before night. he tale has humorous angles, but it also re- flects the all prevalent ‘rush to the colleges, the distraction of faculties, the overloading of the educational plants, and helps to explain why so many college and university executives seem pri- matily concerned in how to prevent young men ‘and women from entering the race for an edu- cation. College registration figures this year promise to surpass all previous records, Until and unless it proves possible to expand the educational plant of the Nation, some sort of selection and rejec- tion seems inevitable. There’ is every reason to believe that in the long run the Colleges will find sensible and fair methods of doing this. Meantime the pressure on educational institutions is one of the most en- couraging features of lusty democracy. The Siki-Carpentier fight bids fair to be one of the longest on record. It has only reached the motion picture round of argument end tho excitement is crowing. SOMETHING LEARNED? Orie ae of the threatening news from the Near East yesterday the wheat market weakened and the price dropped 2 cents: Before 1914 rumors of war usually c2used the wheat market to strengthen. War prices were high prices. Soldiers involved -were consumers and not producers, and combatants bid high for wheat to feed to the “cannon fodder.” The weakness in the wheat pit yesterday sug- gests that we have not completely lost the great lesson of the Great War—namely, thet war is waste. The corollaries are: The world with its inter- dependence cannot longer afford war, and war is bad business even for those not directly involved. Dr. Joan Roach Straton describes the oppo- nents of the Fundamentalists as “Funnymou- keyists.” With Bryan and Voliva already on his side isn't it just a little indiscreet to suggest the question of funniness?

C., is secure in the Pantheon of Fame from the fact that he was the creator of the comic stage. ils plays, some 64 im, number, of which we now possess eleven, inaug- urated a’ new method of getting at men and measures, Before Aristophanes's time the drama was largely concerned with the gods and demons of the Elysian Fields and the infernal regions, but Aristophanes tore the halo and the horrors from the stage and threw ubout it the atmos- phere of things purely carthly and human, Instead of stressing the Olympian deities, Aristophanes went after th real men and women avout Ah in the Clty of the Violet Crown, and by his masterful ridicule and burning eat- ire he made the lives of the. dema- Zogues, ‘“grafters’ and “dudes” of Athens so miserable that they wero forced either to lay low or get out. Holding the mirror up to nature, the master mado the hypocrites and scoundrels see themselves as others saw them, and it was more than thoy could stand vp under. No greater fortune could come to this America of ours than to Ravo in our mldst » stage like the one thet Aristophanes established in Athens. It would make the mighty multitude of respectable criminals tremble. For example, there lived in Ath one Cleon, as slick a scoundrel ever appeared in public life in any aze or country, a men ag dangerous as he was brilliant. Aristophanes went out atter Knights" with results ; that grateful to gods and men. In Athens there lived and preepe: a bunch of accomplished scamps known as “Sophists,"” who made piles f money fooling the people in abe: the same way that the various e venders fooling them here to and when Aristophanes got after t with “The Clouds" they went into tho eclipse from which they never emerged.
