EMAL has slowed down, An armistice con- K ference is scheduled for to-morrow at Mudania. The Near East crisis is going into a parley phase where it may be possible to keep it until the danger of war has been averted The Turkish Nationalist leader, however, has skilfully contrived to lose little of his position or prestige. No ultimatum has yet succeeded in clearing his troops out of the neutral zone. The Turks come to conference with an air of confi- dence and even concession. The Turkish note, expressing the hope that the Entente Powers are prepared to establish a just pe: says “An order has been given to stop immedi- ately our military movements, which have been unceasingly developing in the direction of Con- stantinople and Chanak-Kalen in pursuit of the Greek Armies.” The hint is plain enough. It is a victorious ahd pursuing army that pauses for parley. Not that the impressive procession of British warships moving eastward through the Mediter- ranean is without its effect on Kemal. But the Nationalist leader is astute enough to have kept himself informed as to how little popular senti- ment in England is inclined to push those battle- ships into actual war. The Turks are not only dealing with European powers divided as to their political motives. They are dealing with Governments whose peoples are heartily sick of war and likely to have scant patience with diplomacy that fails to exert every effort to keep them out of war. Fanaticism is only the immeasurable force be- hind. the Turkish position. In the foreground is an alert, enlightened leadership quité capable of entering the diplomatic game with a European appraisal of the prizes and the risks. It will take careful playing to come through. for the high office in which they have already tried and proved him. When Al Smith stood his ground at Syracuse and swept back the Hearst dollars like autumn leaves, he scored a victory the thrill of which will travel beyond State lines. All over the country voters are feeling their way toward rallying points of protest against the bitter disappointments which are all they have to show for Republican promises. The great Republican wave of 1920 only en- gulfed them nationally in a swirl of legislative in- competence in which the executive influence has been, for the most part, too feeble to keep its feet. Instead of the vast reconstructive programme the country has had to console itself with a few administrative economies, pledged, a narrow escape from a soldiers’ bonus, and a monstrously overwrought tariff to pile new and unprecedented burdens on consumers. In State after State disintegration and division have shown themselves in the Republican -ranks due to the demoralizing influence of the unfolding Republican record at Washington. The Democratic Party only needs heartening and stiffening to “come back.” : It could have no bigger stimulus than the cam- paign Democrats are capable of making in the Empire State this fall under the leadership of Al Smith, New York Democracy has shaken off Hearst. It has its right candidate, its most popular candi- date, its best candidate. It should jump into the fight with a will. Wasn't it a tactical error to make Safety r Week coincide with World's Serles Week. How ean any fan guard against heart failure? HE suspense was awful. ends well. The Yanks pulled through and New York will have its own personally conducted World Series just as it did last year. Some of the other cities have complained of mid-season trades and purchases by the New York teams. A good share of this criticism was silenced by McGraw’s prompt decision to release his pitch- ing ace, Douglas. But even if this criticism is well founded, that only makes the coming series more interesting. IH the Giants and the Yanks have the cream of the two leagues; all the more reason to anticipate a stirring battle for the supreme honors of the sea- son. The two teams are worthy contenders for the championship. New York, as a whole, hopes the best team will win. Individually, most fans are partisan, as many a street corner debate makes clear Al Smith is probably glad Mr. Hearst did But all’s well that not make his indorsement stronger. Hnthusi- astlc support would cause the former Governor to wonder if he had changed for the worse. WHY IT IS THERE. * HWY is there an Anti-Transit Law plank in the Democratic State platform? First: Because Goy. Miller originally intro- duced his Transit programme for the relief of this city in a tactless, high-handed way that, to a needless degree, challenged home rule sentiment. Second: Because the Hylan-Hearst regime saw its chance to twist transit relief and opposition to the Governor's programnie into an utterly false and baseless 5-cent fare issue. Third: Because the platform was written with the idea that it must contain concessions to the Hearst-Hylan group. It remains none the less true That the Transit Commission and the Transit Commission's plan do not belong as real issues in this campaign. That unfortunately and for the time being the Hylan Administration is itself the best argument against home rule. That as a member of the Port Authority Com- mission, Al Smith has shown himself too broad- minded and discerning ever to sink to the Hylan level of narrow obstructiveness on any question where the city’s development is involved, Declining « nomination for Governor the Prohibition Party, Gov, Miller wrote: “T am not now and never have been a Prohibitionist. My acceptance of the nom ination might indicate an approval of the fundamental principle of their party, and I cannot afford to be put in the position of seeking votes under false colors.” That's honest.

It was in 1783 that the merchants Canada, with an eye to the pro achieved by the Hudson’s Bay Co pany—a prosperity at the time fabulous—decided to launch a trading venture of thelr own. called it the Northwest Fur Company ‘This corporation cost the Hudson’ Bay Company millions of pounds in) furs taken from territory claimed the older company. Incidentally, ‘they rivalry between the two of capital resulted in the sad den ization of exchange for os b by native trappers. Some idea of the profits acquit by the Northwest Company is to gained from Washington Irving's scription of the ‘‘conference” held the organization every year at William, near the Grand Portage. The partners from Montreal and other parts of Canada Went to the: “conference” with all the pride, pom and circumstance of extreme pro perity, accompanied by retinues cooks and other servants. Vint wines seem to have figured oon oubly among the supplies taken ft the wilderness from the “effete East! of the day. Between business conferene Washington Irving points out, ‘th were some of the old feasts desert in Highland castles “The tables in the great banquet: ing room groaned under the weigh! of game of all kinds; of ventson fron the woods and fish from the with hunters’ delicacies, such as faloes’ tongues and beavers’ tails various luxuries from Montreal, served up by experienced coo brought for the purpose. “There was no stint of gen u wine, for it was a hard-drinkin period, a time of loyal toasts bacchanalian songs and brimmin bumpers. “While the chiefs thus revelled tnt the hall and made the rafters resound with bursts of loyalty and old Scotch songs, chanted in voices cracked and sharpened by the Northern blast, their merriment was echoed and prolonged by a mongrel legion of retainers— Canadian voyageurs, half-breeds,” In. dian hunters and vagabond hange on, who feasted sumptuously witho on the crumbs that fell from the ble and made the welkin ring wil old French ditties, mingled with dian yelps and yellings.”” ‘The perlodic orgy of the North Fur Company came to an end the conclusion by that corporatio ind by the Hudson Bay Companj that competition did not pay as 4s co-operation. So the Northwest Company merged into the Hudson's Bay, t! losses were elminated and the orlgt: “trust’’ surveyed the field alone. But at no time did the partners the Northwest have to bother abot ways of raising money, to pay ho hold expenses. From Evening World Readers What kind of letter do you find most readable?
