HE first and outstanding thing to be said about what happened a Syracuse yester- day is this: Despite all the pulling and hauling to which it has been subjected, despite all the bullying, bargaining and blandishment that have been ex- ercised on it this year, the Democratic Party of the State of New York can still claim to tell a true Democrat from a millionaire demagogue. The Hearst dollars and the Hearst influence went to Syracuse and did their darndest. But ex-Gov. Al Smith stood by his guns. The Hearst dollars and the Hearst influence had to march home again and leaVe the leader- ship of New York Democracy in the hands of as staunch and steadfast a defender as the party _ has ever iad. Al Smith rated New York Democrats as de- serving something better than Hearst. Al Smith fought off Hearst and saved the party its self-respect. It would be strange, indeed, if New York Democrats failed to get together as one man to prove they. know what they owe Al Smith. HYPOCRITES. , HE brazen hypocrisy of Prohibition on its political side was never more in evidence than at this week’s Republican State Convention at Albany. While the Platform Committee turned down the Martin Saxe plank for light wines and beer. delegates were enjoying a flow of hard liquor that would have floated the whole platform from Albany to New York. This Prohibition is not a personal thing. Oh, no! You support it at conventions and vote in Legislatures to impose it upon other peo- eple, all the while drinking what you personally choose to drink, inside or outside the law. You explain this by pointing to your repre- sentative function. So long as you give force to EST. 1D BY JOSEPH PULITZER, mee, er Row.

If, you are so sure of this, why not be open about it? In this era of questionnaires The Evening World has proposed the following for members of Legislatures, State and national: Mr. Legislator, in voting to enact present Prohibition law yow voted away a personal Ub- erty of millions of people who had never abused that Uberty. In view of the peculiar nature of this law and the moral arguments advanced to support {t, do you believe the people upon whom you imposed Prohibition have a right to know to what extent you personally practise Prohibition? If you do not belteve they have a right to such knowledge, on what grounds do you deny thetr right? Take this questionnaire ‘to Albany or Wash- ington and watch the “people’s representatives” turn pale, and scuttle away from it. It's the same hypocritical spirit that New York has just seen among convention delegates who virtuously spurn a wine and beer plank while they drink to Prohibition and the bootlegger— in straight whiskey. BETSY, THE 107-DAY WONDER. N EGG, it-has been sagely observed, rep- resents a full day's work for a hen and should be valued and esteemed accordingly. This is made to seem impressive, but it is, in fact, a gross understatement. More often than not it represents two or three days’ work, some- times more. This fact is emphasized by the press despatch from Ottawa, Ont., claiming the world cham- pionship as an egg layer for Betsy, a hen which has laid an egg a day for 107 consecutive days Almost any world record is important, and Betsy’s feat is unquestionably of far more benefit to the world than some other perform-, ances that could be named. . Long live Betsy. May she keep up the good work and never set. ANOTHER PLAIN WARNING. 1 ged is a time when a good many landlords are believed to be thinking seriously of skimping heat in apartments and trusting to the coal shortage to save them from punishment. This makes particularly desirable the stern and unbending attitude of the Court of Special Sessions in imposing a sentence of thirty days and a fine of $250 in the case of Landlord Berkley, who failed to make repairs ordgred by the Tenement House Department. “We are not concerned,” said Justice Murphy, “with your losses upon this property.” New York housing laws have teeth. They in- clude provisions for heat supply. The Health and the Tenement Departments have assured tenants that failures to supply heat will not be excused by the expense of the necessary fuel. The decision yesterday should suggest to would-be coal economizers that ‘it may prove cheaper and more comfortable to live up to their Tgetlaations, THE WEEK : . is good in this vicinity, it can’t be beat any- where, This month has equalled the fondest " expectations.

But the mind that has not learned to function rapidly will attract far less attention to its owner than the mind which can instantly apply itself to a problem and readjust itself to changing conditions. In schools of law the students meet together in moot courts, in which fictitious law suits are tried as solemnly and a& seriously as real suits are tried in courts of law. In the examination of witnesses, in the summing up of the case, and applying the law to it—and above all in match- ing wits and resourcefulness with the student who is on the other side—the prospective lawyer learns to sce his mind rapidly and accurately, as he must do when he has a case of his own to tey after he has been admitted:tg the bar.

This prosperity was accredited to the blessing of a dry law. Howeyer, it ts significant that strike time has also extended, Strikes have a longer duration and the less beer the miners seem to drink the higher comes the price for coal. Some official said a few days ago that Prohibition will be a 100 per cent. success by next week. It certainly was #0 all the time. The burning of old Rome was a success—for the ones who set fire to it, The fact remains that workmen can exist without this success as we all had to do previously, and also that Prohibition itself yields nothing and| 99, What 1s your {dea rogarding Conditions are always changing and shifting, particu- Tae ay conscious Bade Arta has done no work.

It is the quick thinking General who wins battles; the quick thinking manufacturer who gets the most profitable markets and the quick thinking salesman who disposes of the most goods. One of the great values of athletic games to schools and colleges is that they all teach the mind how to operate rapidly. Games are not played wholly with muscular energy dny more than what we call manual labor is done wholly with the hands. It is the mind guiding the muscles that determines whether the man who owns it shall win or lose. Any reading, any exercise that develops the faculty of thought is highly useful. But thought, while always neges- sary, is never so valuable as when it can be applied instantly to any problem which may arise, and continue to operate rapidly till the problem is disposed of, Three Options.

Up to date it stands thus: 1, No one can prohibit an“element. 2. None can abolish fermentation. 8. No one can take by stealth or law an entailed property that is owned by all the people, J.
