IVICS, as the dictionary defines it, is “the C science that treats of the government of cities, of citizenship, of the organizing of life in citieg and of the relations between citizens and the Government.” New York is the biggest city in the western hemisphere. The biggest city ought te have the best and most progressive government. At the top of the New York City Government are the Mayor and the Board of Estimate. Therefore, the Mayor and the Board of Esti- mate of New York City in full action must pre- sent to the student the most instructive and in- spiring object-lesson in civics to be found any- where in the western hemisphere. This was undoubtedly the logic that brought fifty Wadleigh High School girls down to the City Hall yesterday to attend a Board of Estimate meeting. What did they hear? They heard the top of the New York City Gov- ernment discussing Vermouth cocktails and then functioning as if it had had too many of the same. They, heard the Mayor of New York gritting his teeth, breaking gavels, shouting himself hoarse and denouncing newspapers as “a menace to free government.” They heard the defense of a $361,- 000,000 city budget take the form of mere angry bluster. They heard heated, destructive abuse of the only body authorized and competent to speed the transit relief for which 6,000,000 people are waiting. Anything out of the ordinary in all this? No. The Wadleigh civics class would have heard ex- actly the same sort of thing at any other Board of Estimate meeting under the present Municipal Administration. If they based their conclusions solely on ob:er- vation of the Hylan city government at Work, they would have to défine civics as the science of: 1, Putting it over; , 2, Shouting down objectors; 3. Blackguarding the press. While the Hylan Administration lasts, youthful students of civics should be kept away from meet- ings of the Board of Estimate. The latter just now is civics on a bat. 3 * pee! Se And now it seems that Italy may have an opportunity to see how a “White” revolutionary dictator differs from a “Rod” revolutionary digtator. .

Her cohorts use the vanity mirror variation of the old reliable glad-hand- and-a-cigar campaign as adapted to feminine first voters. The mirrors recommend the favored can- didate whenever the girl feels her nose needs in- spection, No more effective style of appeal has ever been invented. The personal appeal and the cordial handshake win friends and votes when they sing true and are based on a worthy record. Why shouldn’t Senator Calder’s friend, Mr. Littauer, do something of the sort? With a sup- ply of the cheap German gloves bought in antici- pation of the Calder glove schedule, Mr. Littauer ought to be a glad-hander for a fact. Or, if the present price of gloves might make /) such a campaign seem too much like Newberry- _ ism, Mr. Littauer might vary it by using electric heaters at busy corners, with a line of electioneer ing patter to the effect that the Calder campaign- ~ ers keep your hands warm even if you can’t afford BOTH PRET IN IT. T a Gridiron Club dinner immediately aiter women’ had won the vote Col, Harvey's latest might have won some measure of appre- ciation. .

In any contest of amateur foot-putters Harvey would be ruled out ag a professional, gets both feet in, in violation of the rules, It would be easier to accept the “soulless” speech as claborate foolery and merely a breach in good taste if it were not for the Harvey record. He has always been ready to lampoon much that is serious and sacred to others. Not everyone has forgotten the blasphemous cartoon mocking the idea of the Immaculate Conception that appeared <in Harvey's Weekly in 1920 and caused such ein- barrassment to the G, O. P. managers. His latest indiseretion isn’t to be compared to some of his previous offenses but it does empha- size the fact that he doesn’t belong in a diplomatic service He ROYAL S. COPELAND. i O man can rise high in the medical profession without qualities that give him a right ‘o confidence and esteem, Dr. Royal S. Copeland stands in the first rank of American physicians. His record as the chief health officer for New York has never been ‘excelled for good sense and real results, By a turn of fortune in the melange of politics he has been nominated for a seat in the United States Senate, in competition with William’ M. Calder, the present incumbent. There is no comparison in merit between the .two men, Senator Calder has made politics his calling for half of his‘life. He is a place-seeker and privilege-getter for the favored ones. He represents the “right” people, not the real people. Dr. Copeland, if elected, as he should be, will do much to give New York a place in the Senate long denied the State, and Democratic ideals will have there an advocate of intelligence and strength. TAMMANY IN A NUTSHELL, “Why did you have your employee, Higgins, sign the contract for the bus?” John A. ("Fisbhooke") McCarthy was asked. “That was, my method of doing it,” was the only reply. SMALL PUNKINS. ECRETARY of the Treasury Mellon has shelved the Daugherty rum ruling as ap- plied to foreign ships until the United States Supreme Court renders a decision. For the present, forcign vessels can continue to bring liquors into American territorial waters under seal, and while in such waters may with- draw from ships’ stores liquor required for officers and crews. American vessels are supposed to be bone dry, But no doubt even they will be allowed a wet spot to meet the British law which requires a gallon of brandy for every Passengers. Thus does what survives of American justice and common sense still struggle against the Pro- hibition Power that undertakes to dictate American and international law. Was the great Republic of the West ever before used to make pies of such small punking; 100 stecrage Will you listen to this from Achmet Abdullah in the Reviewer: “It 1s this principle of democracy within tbe (Mohammedan) faith which for many decades to come promises to be the real reason why Christian priests will not sing high mass in the restored Cathedral of St. Sophia.

Recently, in California, mountain climbers saw from the top of a high peak a valley which they believe has never been entered. It Hes beyond a mountain wall which is very difficult to scale. The valley cannot be found on any map in existence, It is quite pos- sible that it has been overlooked by all the explorers and pioneers who have surveyed that section of California. Almost as soon as the news of this valley reached the outer world a number of people began to prepare to go there. Their theory is that if no one has seen the country, there may be gold there. Just how they reason this out is not clear, but such is the fact and such their purpose. It may be, of course, that the valley will prove a new Goleonds a, although it is more probable that it is just the same sort of a country as the valleys surrounding it. And the adventurous men who are planning to leave tlieir jobs ani make the hard journey over the mountain wall in search of gold would do better to confine their treasure-secking to a count home. : There is undiscovered treasure in almost ev@ry human brain, if the owner of the brain will take the trouble to look for and develop it. It cannot be found without a search, and it cannot be developed without labor, But almost always it is there. The man who is willing to hunt for it and to work to bring it to the surface when he finds it is the man who accomplishes something. « ‘The man who is too indolent t take this trouble is the man who lags along with the procession, wondering what it is that is keeping him out of the leadership. Far more mysterious than any mountain region ave the re of the human brain. Even could we look into our own heads, the convolutions of the ora:n would teach us nothing, for the thought thet is their life and ivit is invisible, But somewhere iii each mind is treasure of some so: ulty that can be developed and made useful and productive. People who develop this particular faculty enjoy their work and prosper in it. This is not always easy, for few of us know instine- tively what we are best fitted for But there omething in every sound brain that is, treasure if we find it and make the most of it. And almost always it proves ,- more profitable than any geareh for gold in rough and strange mour tain valleys. aver ses WHOSE BIRTHDAY? oer, 6.—HELMUTH ik RNHARD, COUNT VON From the Wise If a horse gets no wild grass he {3 never becomes fat; if a man does not receive lucky help he never becomes rich.—Chinese proverb.
