OV. MILLER and Al Smith have been knocking each other about in sand piles of figures, exchanging good old “alibi” abuse, each pretending to think the other a moron of waste and incompetence—all with the pleasant aim of supplying the kind of campaign supposed to be essential. But somehow it ‘doesn’t sound right from two candidates of the calibre of Gov., Miller and Al Smith. A lot of voters know it doesn’t sound right and are good naturedly waiting for the “old stuff” to be over and make way for real debate. When Gov. Miller says that all Al Smith was able to do as Governor “was to sit in a big chair and see the wheels go round,” nobody even laughs ‘““tntuch because everybody knows better. And Al Smith can come right back with Gov. Miller's own statement of two years ago that “truthfully speaking, these affairs (State affairs while Smith was Governor) have been pretty well managed.” The fact is the State campaign this fall ought to be a, high-level campaign because it has to be fought out between two exceptionally high-level candidates. The average voter isn’t given enough credit for feeling the fitness of things. So far as his municipal buses are concerned, Mayor Hylan has cornered himself. He can cap out of the corner and keep the buses. ‘Or he can stay in the corner and be responsible » tor their loss to the public. But he can't foo) anybody into believing it isn't his own choice. A VICTIM OF THE PRINTING PRESS. N Evening World reader asks a question.~ The answer will not be pleasant reading. “T have an account in a German bank in Ber- Mm from which I receive -an aecurate account- ing of my interest every six months. What I would like to know is whether there is any dif- ference between money on deposit and the paper marks about which The World has been print- ing articles, : “My money draws 3% per cent. interest.” This letter arrived on a day when the exchange value of the mark had dropped to a new low rec- ord of 3,000 to the dollar. There is no difference * between money on deposit and the paper marks & the German printing presses have been turning out. If.J. K. had been in Germany he might have be ge, the “continual decline in purchasing power of his marks in the bank. In which case Bi might have drawn his money and spent it. As it is, he has probably lost practically all his de- “posit. it is hard to imagine any investment of less value ‘than 3% per cent. on savings expressed in marks. ‘ "To emphasize this, let us suppose that J. K acknowledged the “accurate accounting” by the German bapk. That would require a 5 cent post- age stamp. At 3,000 to the dollar a nickel repre- sents 150 marks. And 150 marks is a whole year’s interest at 3%4 per cent. on a deposit of 4,000 marks. If J. K. made his deposit before the war those 4,000 marks would have equalled $1,000. To-day the income would buy a postage stamp. ‘This is a graphic illustration of J. K.’s tragedy. We is the victim of the printing press The function of justice fs to detect and punis!: erlme. Over in Middlesex and Somerset Coun .tles, N. J., they have a kind of justico that waits for crime to explain itself in its own time and manner, EAT WITH YOUR EYES. EMBERS of the National Restaurant Asso- , Siation in convention at Washington are ' devoting considerable attention to interior decora- tion—of the restaurants, not of the patrons. | Chefs have.long been recognized as artists of a | Sort. But the restaurant men are hearing recom- ; mendations from what Hizzoner describes as “art artists.” Restaurants are to have a new “over- head” charge. The cupids and contented cows and farm scenes and “watch your hat and coat’ signs must be aesthetically improved, Mere "hhoust painters” and ordinary “decorators” are to be shoved aside in favor of the lads in smocks a tam-o-shanters. The movement was inevitable when Childs no0d 000d va re k opened on Fifth Avenue with more of the “atmos- phere of real art’’ than is evident in smooth white tiles. Of course patrons of art museums must expect to pay the admission charge. But when the carry- ing charges are made so heavy it does not seem that the quantity and quality of food should be allowed to deteriorate. Compared with the upkeep of the walls and ceilings extra quantity in each dish served ought not to bankrupt the proprietors, Although expert cookery becomes a secondary matter the restau- rants ought to throw it in as a side line. Finally, if more and better painting and sculp- ture is to supersede jazz musical “art” in some of the feed foundries many patrons will approve. Even an art museum will be an improverhent on a boiler shop. WHY WONDER? AS tomplaint on which Federal Judge Hand granted a temporary injunction restraining Prohibition officers from enforcing the Daugherty opinion against liquor on ships in American waters states the belief of the complainant: That the Bighteenth Amendment and the Na- Uonal Prohibition Enforcement Act were never meant to apply to liquors legally acquired in foreign ports in good faith, kept os sea stores and sealed on arrival here. The complainant may be right. But he forgets Yhe extraordinary aptitude of Prohibition tyranny for @owing as it feeds. The Volstead act did not profess to mean that Prohibition officers should make themselves odious to all persons or corporations requiring alcohol for legitimate use in the arts and indus- tries. On the contfary. Yet even as stanch a Prohibition supporter as the Evening Post is now exposing and denouncing the present attitude of the Prohibition Bureau which treats the manufacturer who needs alcohol as if he were a criminal. -We forget the pressure behind Prohibition en- forcement owes the major part of its strength to the almost savage delight felt by a narrow- minded class of limited intelligence in imposing its self-righteous standards upon other people. The Anti-Saloon League is drunk with the most dangerous of all intoxicants—power. Mentality and judgment being its smallest assets, it pushes instinctively toward new ex- tremes without seeing or caring how absurd they may be. To such minds it makes little difference how offensive the United States becomes either to people who live in it or to the people of other nations. Yet so far such minds are the moving power behind Prohibjsion enforcement in this country. Why wonder at that to which they bring us? Another elephant bogged. THE NEW BOND ISSUE. PT HE new Treasury offering of $500,000,000 4 4% per cent. twenty-five to thirty-year Pre has been greatly oversubscribed. Secretary ellon may conclude to accept more than the half billion originally advertised and so obviate the need for another subscription soon. As an index of public confidence this is encour- aging. As an earnest of industrial revival it may prove even more encouraging. The surplus funds offered to the Government will be available for in- dustry whenever investors can be convinced of security and profit. As a financing achievement this sale in no wise ranks with the Liberty bond campaigns, which in- volved huge transfers of cash and credit from in- dividuals to the Government. In the current bond issue most of the transac- tions will be no more than an exchange of matur- ing bonds for the longer term securities of the new issue. In comparatively few instances will fresh cash or new.credit figure at all.

I understand that Judge Cardozo, in a decision recently handed down, stated that where paper was on the walls when the tenant moved in the house, the paper must be replaced, and I think he based his opinion on Sec. 2040 of the Tenement House Law, The Tenement House Department seems to be all at sea in answering this question. To me a clerk said the landlord dows not have to replace the paper; to a friend of mine the oppo- site reply was given, Which is right? SAMUEL ISAACS. New York, Oct. 10, 1922. Growtug Need for E So the Editor of The Evening In view of the very much greater public interest beng shown this year in Esperanto, the international language, a8 a result of the new need created for it by the radio telephone, will you kindly gtve space to this letter of information for your readers? The radio telephone and the now perfected talking moving pictures are adding immensely, to the other argu- ments for Esperanto because the latter is by far the most practicable language for these new needs, a result of its extreme simplicity of grammar, of vowel sounds and pronunciations, With Esperanto now coming into very general popufir use everywhere, but yore especially in Europe, the Far t and in Bractl, its practical value fs now unquestioned this gechoo! season wil add to the movement five times as many adherents 5 are at present in the work, The movement has Teen Joubling and ing it# nambers o: supporters each year since the war.

Does the average taxpayer know that every bit of the policeman’s unl- form, including his gun and ammun}- tion plus other arms, ts paid for from his own salary? Do they knoly he must pay for lis bedding at the station house and the upkeep of samo? How many people know that a po- Meeman is never off? Do they take into consideration that when a police- man Goes overtime such as strike duty, time in court or parade duty and also poll duty, he is not pald for this service? He is seldom with his family and is taken away from them at all hours of the night. A policeman is the insti- gator of protection in ali parts of the departments of the city. He enforces the health, fire and street cleaning laws.

QUALITIES THAT COUNT. lt is idle to name over a list of qualities that constitute success, A man may be honest and reasonably able and industri- ous and still be more or less of a failure. Another man may lack these qualities, even honesty, and be considered, by the world at least, a successful man. There are, however, a number of qualities that help to- ward success and with which the ordinary man without genius or any special] talent is far more likely to be success- ful than if he did not possess them, The chief of these, we believe, is dependability. The employee who can be counted on to be where he is needed and to use judgment when he is there is usually the one who is scheduled earliest for promotion. The employee, however brilliant, who is not always to be found when wanted is seldom trusted with high responsi- bility. Loyalty is another quality that counts. By loyalty we mean the disposition on the part of the employee to do the work for which he is paid as well as he can—to feel that he has made a bargain and that it is his business to live up to it. Industry, of course, counts, and counts for much more than it would if it were more common The man who works steadily has the laziness of most of his associates. His work shows to excellent advantage against this lack of work. Honesty is, of course, an essenti to succeed without it. But they take desperate chances and they never can be wholly comfortable, for the man who lives in the fear of be- ing found out is about the most miserable creature in this existence. Ability is another essential, and, fortunately, it can be cultivated, even though no amount of work will change it into genius, Misfortune, ill health—many things often keep men out of success who are entitled to it. But in the long run 100 men out of 150 will get some sort of useful success if they are dependable, honest, industrious and fairly able. The fact that such men do sueceed whi others fail is apparent to all who know anything about life, It is all the proof necessary of what we haye just asserted. great advantage in , though some men seem ter “mean time.’ That’s a Fact”’ By Albert P.
