HILLES'S PASSION FOR SCIENCE. Perhaps President Harding has sent word back East to his political managers that this Ford business looks serious. Without any other conceivable provocation Charles Hllles, Republican panjandrum In New York, emits a string of epithets and phrases that would do honor to M. Roget Mr. HiUes remarks that Mr.

Ford is neither a Mussolini nor Trotzky. He does not protest against majority unwisdom nor is he chronic minoritarlan. Mr. Hllles seems to prefer an extremist such as even Mr. Harding, we observe, is not Boastful, bigoted, ignorant, unquali fied Henry Ford! Mr.

Hllles dismisses him as a mere bag of gold. He has declared war upon our Jewish citizenry, He is, in short, un-Amer ican. There is now nothing left for Mr. Ford but a quick disappearance Into some dusty distance, aboard one of his own bonrgeoise motorcars. Whflo Mr.

Ford Is speeding away In chagrin we may pause to examine one detail of Mr. Hilles's argument. He pro pounds this proposition: If politics it the science of gov ernment. the head of our Govern rnent should be a man versed la the science of government If a politician should govern, fa other words, then a politician should govern. Mr, Ford is no politician.

But politics the science of govern ment! This is a definition both strange and delightful. Science is a rather cbic thing nowadays, and even politicians know something about Pittdown and Pithecanthropus erectus. Politics contains many prehistoric vestiges of which Mr. Ford's ignor ance Is stupendous. Mr.

Harding is scientist in this sense, hut we fear Mr. Ford is a mere barbarian. THE PORK BARREL IS CALKED. President Harding's desire for 'igld economy will be frustrated in the next House, if Representative Langley of Kentucky, chairman of the Public Buildings Committee, has anything to say about it He has received requests from House mem bers for the erection of from 500 to 1,000 postofflees in their various home districts, and he intends to introduce legislation to take care of them all The amount involved will run into millions. This Is old-fashioned "pork" at its worst.

The last Congress, in its closing hours, appropriated $29,000, 000 In excess of budget estimates for rivers and harbors work. The President was forced to sign the bill for a veto would have meant that no funds would be available for leglti mate improvements. The Executive veto is a blanket affair; the Presl dent must accept or reject a piece of legislation In its entirety. He cannot veto clause by clause. The country will approve any pub lic building program that is limited to necessary construction, but It will not approve the erection of monuments to House members in the shape marble palaces for the sale of two-cent stamps.

One President does not make a budget; it takes 435 Representatives and 96 Senators, whipped into frugality by public demand. TWO LIVES SPANNING OUR NATION'S The recent death in Lockport of Mrs. Catherine McEwen Douglass Spooner Wllber, at the age of 87. ought to have much interest for old Brooklynltes. She was the last to pass away of the children of Aldeh Spooner, whose services to the old city cannot be forgotten.

Her life and her father's life spanned tbe whole period of our existence as a concededly Independent nation. Alden Spooner was about fonr months old when the treaty of peace ending the Revolutionary War was ratified, April 15, 1783; ten months old when Washington delivered his farewell address Nov. 2 of the same year, had been born in Westminster He Vt. As a very young man he whs one of the New Englanders who found Ihel way over the Sound and settled oi Long Island. In 1804 he had become proprietor and editor of the Suffolk County Gazette.

In lull he bought from Thomas Kirk, who had a print ing shop at what is now Fulton and Front streets, Brooklyn, the Long Island Star. Thr population of Brooklyn was then about 10,000. Later he published the New York Columbian, a dally. He was close personal friend of DeWltl Clinton, who once said of him: "I never had as true friend as Alden Spooner, and, what is more, he never asked a favor of me directly or indirectly." Clinton's Erie Canal project deeply Interested the Brooklyn editor. Mr.

Spooner bad a part In urcinir the village charter of 1R1H and city Incorporation of He the a founder nnd long a trustee of the Brooklyn Apprentices Library, i second lieutenant In the Fourth Regl ment, Fourth Brigade, Slate A rtll- lery, as early as lKirt, and colonel the Thirteenth Regiment In 1828 In time, but the experiment wss pre- I mature aud the weekly was resumed. wtth size doubled. Iu 1841 Governor Seward appointed Spooner Surrogate of Kings County, and the editor held the place for four years. He died on November 24, 1848. Mr.

Spooner second wife was Mary Ann Wetniore, a rather re markable woman, who was Mrs. Wis her's mother. Lowell admirers will remember the famous rhyming title page of 'A Fable for Critics," end- lng: Set forth In October, the Slut dav. In 1 the year '48, G. P.

Putnam, Broad way. And the same firm, the same year, brought out a volume of poetry by Mrs. Spooner. Tbe daughter was bora July IS, 1835. She remained a spinster to the age of 61, and was married In 1886 to Joshua Wllber.

an editor of Lockport, who, though blind. deaf and crippled, lived to be 03 years oW, dying in 1017. Mrs. Wllber was a skillful organist, and three Lyears before her own death she had played at a musical congress in Lock- port. She was seventh in descent from the John Alden of Plymouth Rock.

A number of the descendants of Alden Simoner are living in Brook lyn or on the Island, but the living men who remember him personally must be few, if any. The New England stock of which he was a repre sentative was, however, the stock that did most to characterise the civic virtue of the City of Churches. ELLIS ISLAND FEARS THE WORST. Beginning with Sunday, Ellis Is land has reason to fear the worst in continued congestion and incidental suffering for immigrants. A new 'quota" goes Into effect.

Many ships ilready in harbor have hundreds of people from Europe on board, and a of other vessels are raelne to get here with those who fear quick exhaustion of the allotment for their birth countries. Altogether some 16,000 immigrants will be ready for passing, and by no possibility can the Ellis Island facilities handle more than 2,000 cases in a day. The quotas have been published. One of the mysteries Is the fact that If 13,000 Germans were on ships com ing in the immigration law would not cause the deportation of one of them because of percentages. Tbe Germans are not coming.

Any num ber of them would like to come, we suppose, but they haven't the op portunity to get away. It takes real money to pay steamship fares. We hope and believe that the an noyances inevitable to the Ellis Inland situation will be kept to a minimum by executive capacity and tact, but the likelihood is that it will be Impossible to avert some reasonable complaint abroad of the way the nationals of several Powers, especially of Great Britain, are treated. Parliament is very touchy on this subject. and impatience will not make allowance for the difficulties of our officials In enforcing a pretty pernicious bit of legislation.

ULULATI0N AND OPTIMISM. There is no person in official life more devoted to press-agentry than Federal Prohibition Commissioner Haynes. His quips and wiles fall from Mr. Cuneo's mimeograph as leaves in autumn. The Commls- sioner is an incurable optimist, and not even when President Harding is in the dumps about our moral fiber and our trend toward hypocrisy doei Mr.

Haynes alleviate his Joviality. The President said at Denver: The Federal Government is not equipped with the Instrumentalities to make enforcement locally effective. At that precise moment Commis sioner Haynes Issued a "statement" at Washington to the following ef fect: The successful progress of enforce ment work In New York City is acknowledged on every hand. The single exception to this uni versal acknowledgment seems to be President Harding, who inquired at Denver whether the laws of this country can and "will be enforced. The President, doubtless having New York in mind, pictured a disastrous Invasion of Federal agents, but again Mr.

Haynes assures us that ne "feels quite well satisfied with the deterrent influence which the excel lent vork being done by the Federal forces has had in certain quarters where, soon after Governor Smith approved the repeal, hope for widespread disregard of the Eight eenth Amendment may have been visualized." The gent of Mr. Haynes's collec tion appeared In his "anniversary statement' of June 11, which marked round year of his supervisory service. He said then: Much propaganda, which seems to he nation-wide, has been broadcasted to create the impression that enforcement Is breaking down, when the very reverse Is true. This puts Mr. Harding In a rather awkward position, for while he did say that "amazing progress" toward better enforcement has been made, he added with characteristic balance that "the country will not permit the iaw of the land to be made a by word." One of these propositions Ir prob- ably true, but not both.

Let us grant that America Is dry aud law-abid ing, with Hie exception of perverse New York. But Mr. Haynes himself announces that Federal forces are dt'terrlng New York from sin, and Zone Chief R. Q. Merrick, one of his Field Marshals, even goes so far as to admit that our New York police are Hhowjng Hue co-operation.

In tlioiisnmls of stnteinentH from Commissioner Haines's office we have yet to see one that admitted porting Intense activity, from which we are forced to conclude that large groups of citizenry are breaking the law. Anyone familiar with the at. mosphere at Washington knows that no really determined effort at en forcement in Its fullest and most rigid sense has yet been made. If the Administration wishes tn he rw ognlxed aa one hundred percent dry, that effort must be made. Until then we shall find Commissioner Haynes's optimism a source of won der.

The President's pessimism is far more Justified. We suspect that New York is neither better nor worse than other seaboard States and communities, among which must be mentioned Washington Itself, a district ten miles square, where liquor, so we are informed, is to be had in abundance right under Mr, Haynes's window. That "Civic Opera Company" in Chicago did better than ever before, this past season, showing a deficit of only $361,718. But as a Weber- Fleldlan Joker once explained. "Yon cant make money doing business lu that way unless you do It on a very large scale." Geraldine Farrar is now leeallv "Miss Farrar again, but free to bn come Mrs.

The trip la exnected to take six weeks, but the craft has provisions for three months aboard. The yacht's name, In an old German dialect, means "As far as It will go." The vessel has a keel nf r.

The three navigators plan to travel by way of Funchal, thence taking the northeast trade wind to the Florida coast, where they expect to pick up the Gulf Stream and proceed to New York. The yacht flies the Austrian flag in honor of the nationality of her builder, F. Plunder, who in aboard.

Without waiting for the outcome of the investigations of the recent disaster, the company seems determined to satisfy Itself and the public that travel on the ele voted is safe. This Is Since the question of safety was raised by the fatal accident of last Monday every move in this direction is welcome. The action of the B. M. T.

is all the more necessary because of the state of mind created by ex aggerations and alarming reports of the condition of the elevated struc-tures that bave been spread broad cast. One of these reports was to the effect that a section of the Broadway line, over which steel oars are run, "rocks like a cradle" when trains pass over it. The Transit Commis sion records show that this structure was thoroughly tested before steel trains were permitted to use It; that later tests were made after tho tracks bad been so used, and that still another test is now being made, This should convince most minds that tbe Transit Commission and the M. T. are not Indifferent to this question of safety.

At the same time tho situation calls for extra precautions, and It Is to pro vide this special measure of security that additional tests and lnvestlga tions are being made by the Com mission and the company. In the meantime, tbe Board of Estimate has ordered an investigation of its own This, too, Is welcomed. So long as there is any doubt at all as to the safety of the elevated lines every move of the kind should contribute to the common aim. That is the only point raised bv the independent action of the city, the Transit Commission and the B. M.

T. in ordering investigations. The purpose in dach case is supposed to be simply the ascertaining of facts. There is hardly room for serious dip-agreement between competing engineers as t'o the strength grid durability of a railroad or its equipment, in relation to safety of operation. Engineers of integrity base their con-elusion on facts, adduced by scien tific methods.

If these methods are followed and the experts keep in mind the single object of getting at ia teiltr, thnM terial differences In their reports. The transit situation Is almost hopelessly involved in politics and finance, but political and financial considerations should not enter into these investigations of the physical condition of the elevated property. The engineers engaged In these Investigations should be left alone to get at facts, and report on facts, and if there is any doubt as to the facts that doubt should be removed by other engineers. This is a question beyond the scope of the public, the politicians and the financiers. It will be a relief to have It passed upon by wen capable of rendering Judgment.

SIR P0MER0Y BURTON. Pomeroy Burton, self-made Ii America, 11 British subject since 1916 Burton, as Tbe Eagle boy knew him, is knighted by the King of England. We believe he can still set type from the case. We found him a Knight of Labor of the rion-Pow-flerly type, his ambitious trending not to a shorter diiy, but to the ultimate of getting in twenty-five hours out of the twenty-four. Keen news sense, perfect command of the executive phase of news collection, and scientific attention to headline writing won for him high recognition in The Eagle office.

The New York World says this morning: "Joseph Pulitzer brought him to the World In 1MW ns the man who had at that time made The Eagle, the best local newspaper In New York." He really was one of the men who bad done most to keep The Eagle in the position it had bcltl for almost sixty years be- fore he left it and has managed to retulu since that time. Mr. Burton became managing ed-n itor of the World nnd In that capacity met Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcllffe, when the London pub lisher was In New York In 11X11. He had left the World for Mr. Hearst Morning American when he was in vited to go to London.

General Atterbury will leave tomorrow for London and will sail for the United States on the Ma jestic July 4. In outlining his observatlona nn Europe General Atterbury said: "My trip carried me through France, Switzerland, the northern part of Italy, Austria, Hungary. Rumania and Serbia.

Mary was not srieved at the aud. den maturity of her son- It is of the most prominent characteristics of a mother that her heart Is cen. tered on her child Instead of on herself.

She sacrifices for It as no nnn else does, but she makes no demands upon It.

the tomb, commissioned His disciples and ascended into Heaven. He set up His spiritual kingdom on earth and It has been growing ever since. His gospel is for every creature and His code of morals is to stand tor all time.
