TNTERESTING is the psychology of the political mind where taxpayers are concerned! Here is Mayor Hylan lifting his hands in horror over the cost of the Transit Commission to date. Yet since Tuesday this same Mayor Hylan is more than ever jubilantly eager to see the whole solid accomplishment of the Transit Commis- sion thrown on the scrap heap in order to give place to a transit program that shall bear only the Hylan label. All in the pretended interest of the people who pay taxes and traction fares and whé suffer from inadequate traction facilities. The latter, according to Hylan pss not care how many million dollars’ worth of ex- pert effort is wasted or how many extra million dollars are spent on the weary road to transit relief, provided John F. Hylan can pay off political scores and further his political ambitions. Taxpayers, according to Hylan psychology, are too stupid or indifferent to care about the inside facts of Hylan municipal bus operation, though these facts are daily throwing light on the prom- ised land of patronage and graft the Hylan-Tam- many mind has in view when it dwells on home cule and municipal operation of traction lines It would never occur to most citizens of New York, according to Hylan psychology, that transit relief is something that could be obtained for them without wasting their money and saddling them with new kinds of exploitation, political and financial. ' In short, according to Hylan psychology, it is easy to handle the people of New York because they are only half-witted. chology, do Again, what is the real purpose in the Hall- Mills case—to find the guilty or not to find them?

It is time for Executive interposition. Gov. Miller might well warn the two bickering officia!s that he will remove both of them unless they man- age to enforce the law It looks as though the police were most to blame. There is no question but that the police could prosecute unbonded drivers if they were so inclined.

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY. OTH for the country and for the Democratic Party it is better the tide stopped where it did. It is better in every way that the President’s party should continue to hold control of both the House and the Senate. Had the Democrats captured the House organi- zation there would have been a division of respon- sibility and the next campaign might have been little more than an exercise in passing the buck and blaming the opposition. As matters stand the President has on his hands a party united only in name. All the Harding genius for harmony can not make things harmon- ious. It is better to have the recriminations with- in the Republican fold than hurled across the par- tisan division fence. The Democratic position needs one-thing above everything else. The party needs courageous and intelligent leadership. It needs to be directed into the path of a courageous, constructive, progressive opposition to the policy of negation that has pre- vailed in Washington. If the Democratic Party can formulate a defi nite program to present to the country in 1924 it may march onward with confidence. The verdict Tuesday was a condemnation of manifest Republican incompetence. Have the Democrats anything better to offer? Not yet. But-they have an opportunity to offer something better in the next two years. BOOTLEGGERS TO THE RESCUE. ls E Anti-Prohibitionists in Ohio are charging that prosperous bootleggers helped genuine Prohibitionists to defeat the proposed beer and ne amendment in that State. Nothing more likely. Everybody knows present Prohibition law is fabulously profitable in a financial way to a boot- leg industry that is already one of the most for- midable facts in the country. Just as everybody knows present Prohibition law has been politically profitable to a large num- ber of hypocrites in public life who notoriously do not practice themselves what they vote to impose on others, The revolt against present Prohibition tyranny evident in the voting last Tuesday in other States shows what good reason the Ohio bootleggers had to be alarmed for their trade. “Wet-cellar Drys” among the lawmakers should also heed the plain warning from New Jersey and elsewhere. Prohibition stock is dropping. DAVY DECEIVES HIMSELF. hae HYLAN'S Davy Hirshfield seems to imagine that the up-State voters in Tues- day’s election decided to elect Hizzoner as Gover- nor, too. Davy phrases it thus: “I take it that the vote was more anti-Miller than proSmith. Mayor Hylan and the prin- ciples that he stands for have been indorsed.” Davy is mistaken. New Yorkers voted for Al Smith The Hirshtield assumption would not have been true even if the Hearst-Hylan-Hirshfield contin- gent had campaigned enthusiastically for Al Smith, As a matter of fact the Hylan support was little more than lukewarm. Davy is not even plausible, Al Smith was elected as his own man. Nothing in his record gives us any reason to suppose that he intends to be a Hylan commissioner at Albany. ‘The Fordney-McCumber tariff is still with us. But since Tuesday we know more certainly and forcibly than ever just what we think about it ACHES AND PAINS The average duration of human life ti New Zea land is cight years more than in the United States and nine more than tx, Great Britain.
