i 16 MI BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, 'AUGUST 13, 1930... THE JUGGLER BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE Founded by aao Van anden in 1841. (Trade Mark Registered.) a boy ten years old his very poor parents brought him from Germany to America. An accident had even then caused an injury to one leg, from which he never fully recovered. He had only a meager public school education.

He began work as a day laborer. He won the confidence of a great corporation. And as a newspaper owner his fearlessness, and his acumen made him a power in Tennessee. The WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1930. have worked on the principle of La Rochefoucauld, "Hypocrisy is an homage which vice pays to virtue." Yet in 1928 it was claimed that there were fifteen places where "open gambling" was permitted.

Whether Governor Roosevelt can accomplish more than Governor Smith accomplished we can only conjecture. He also can remove the Sheriff and remove the prosecutor. But the very wicked traditions of Saratoga Springs will always have to be watched and reckoned with. They are a vital element In the equation. Stahlman Building in Nashville is only one of his memorials in the city where he had lived since 1866.

The proceedings are described as resembling a carnival celebration rather than a labor movement. Of course, the midinettes won their demands within twenty-four hours.

All rights Strikes too often verge on the ugly. It would of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. The Indorsement Racket. The forthcoming campaign cannot be dull with Mr. Fess in the role of Republican chairman.

In his initial statement he claimed everything, praised everything and swept aside all criticism of the Administration as due to propaganda. It is a simple technique that smacks of politics In 1890. Mr. Fess's most delightful pronouncement to date is his certification of George Norris of Nebraska as a Republican. The rule is that if an insurgent or an independent gets himself nominated Mr.

Pess will ask no questions, will forget the past and will do all in his power to bring him back to the Senate. It is possible to reflect, of course, that such distinguished insurgents as Mr. Norris and Mr. Borah would be returned to the upper house, Pess or no Pess. The genial Simeon's praise might, even cost them some votes, their constituents not being at all impressed with the orthodox dogmas of regular Republicanism.

The way things are going under the new post-Claudius regime, it would not surprise us if Mr. Fess came out with an Indorsement of Norman Thomas and Heywood Broun, contingent, of course, upon their election. Stage Indecency and the Law. Refusal of the Grand Jury to Indict Earl Carroll and his associates for allegedly Indecent features in the current "Vanities" will no doubt be hailed in some quarters as a complete victory for the theatrical producer. It was not quite that and the police should not be discouraged over their failure to secure indictments.

Practically every dramatic critic In New York declared that the new Carroll show contained features that were more daring than anything ever seen on Broadway. Under the circumstances the police were fully justified in taking steps to curb the exhibition. It is not an easy matter for the crude police censorship to function on Broadway, yet it does manage to operate. Even in the case of the "Vanities" the chief end was attained. Mr.

Carroll, despite his escape from prosecution, has announced that he will not revive the fea take a Red enthusiast, for Instance, to detect any esthetic appeal in the recent stunt of bombing a Kentucky colliery from an airplane. And we are beginning to learn that beauty exerts a force of its own. If it works in advertising, if municipal embellishments help a town to grow, if gracefully designed automobiles sell better than homely ones, if railroads find it pays to have attractive stations and trains, why should not strikes be made esthetic? One hates to add to the troubles of the employer, but it does seem that once the workers grasp the idea of making strikes attractive their demands will be much more difficult to resist. The only difficulty will be that if strikes are made so lovely to contem plate the public will insist that they go on, on the principle that a thing of beauty should be a joy forever. John G.

Milburn. Comparisons are odious. Perhaps John G. Milburn was not the greatest lawyer in New York State, but any fair critic would rank him among the half dozen of Bar leaders. His death occurs in London in his seventy-ninth year.

A native of England, he was fitted for admission to the Bar a year before he secured citizenship. His long practice in Buffalo had tures of his show to which the police objected. In this he is wise. Police censorship as it is practiced in New York is far more elastic given him great prestige in western New York before he came to the metropolis in 1904. As president of the Association of the Bar in than many other forms that might be imposed upon the stage.

To avoid much more drastic restrictions theatrical producers should willingly meet the minimum demands of the police in public exhibitions.

Hence practical politicians are not Tammany's New Rival. From the statements made yesterday to District Attorney Crain by Mayor Walker It would seem that Tammany Hall has a dangerous rival In the Steuben Society.

He told Mr. Crain that his appointment of George P. Ewald was made largely on the recommendation of this organisation. The Mayor was most emphatic in declaring that "nobody In political circles, including Mr. Olvany, ever spoke to me about Judge Ewald." Mr.

Olvany, who was Tammany leader at the time of the appointment, also declared that about all he knew of Ewald was that the Steuben Society recommended him and he had told the representatives of that society to present their recommendations to the Mayor. All this Is most extraordinary and contrary to the prevailing notion of how political appointments are made in this town. Obviously If the Mayor is to make a practice of ignoring Tammany leaders and choose his appointees on recommendations from outside organizations such as the Steuben Society there will be nothing left but for poor old Tammany to close up shop. The Electric Rate Hearing. Little happened yesterday at the first hearing before the Public Service Commission on the new electric rate schedule recently proposed by the Edison companies, but much was foreshadowed.

It was apparent from the array of counsel representing various Interests that the new rates are to be vigorously opposed, also that the Edison companies are prepared to present their side of the issue raised and will resist efforts to lower rates beyond the figures set by President Sloan in his letter to Chairman Maltbie. This means that a long controversy is in prospect, the details of which are quits beyond the grasp of most persons who have not made a study of the subject. In the main, however, the Issue is simple and should be readily understood. When the consolidation of the electric light and gas companies was effected some time ago It was argued that the merging of Interests would result In economies that could be passed on to consumers In the form of lower rates. From the public standpoint, that was the chief Justification for the merger.

Reorganization having been effected, Mr. Sloan took the initiative In submitting a new scheiule of rates under which the revenues of the companies would be reduced by more than 5,000,000 and the flat rate for electric current reduced from 1 to 5 cents a kilowatt hour. At the same time It was proposed to place a meter charge of 60 cents a month on consumers. This would increase rather than reduce the monthly charges to 57 percent of the consumers. Obviously any proposal that actually adds to the electric bills of a majority of consumers cannot be regarded as a benefit and was bound to be opposed.

The good faith of the Edison companies was Indicated by the voluntary move to reduce their revenue. But this was for the benefit of only 43 percent of their customers. The task of the Public Service Commission Is to ascertain from expert analysis if the total saving to consumers represents the maximum that should be expected from the reorganized companies, and to devise a more even distribution of the benefits between small and large consumers. The grimmest memory of Mr. Milburn was the assassination of President McKinley in 1901.

As president of the Pan-American Ex surprised at the resignation of Jesse D. Moore as United States Marshal In the Eastern District of New York, which also includes Richmond, and Mr. Moore's friends realize the wisdom of a change. THE Denlshawns danced at the Stadium last evening, and once again, in their honor, the amphitheater and the field were filled with an audience that broke a season's record. Draped in black, or adorned with simple settings, easily built and quickly broken, the orchestral platform was their stage, while the musicians of the Philharmonic-Symphony Society, under the direction ot Hans Lange, reduced to the role of accompanists, filled the field space, where, ordinarily, tables accommodate a portion of the audience.

Upon the program were ballets and divertissements new as well as old, prepared for this occasion under position he had entertained the Chief Magistrate of the Nation. It was to his home that Mr. McKinley was taken after the murderous The United States Marshal has 32 assistants, shot was fired, and it was in the Milburn home that Mr. McKinley expired. In law, in philanthropy, in public spirit John all appointed by him and all removable by him.

One place Is held by Suffolk County; two each by Queens and Nassau. That leaves twenty-seven for Brooklyn. If, as expected, G. Milburn won fairly the appreciation in which the supervision of Miss Ruth St.r uenis ana Mr. snawn.

'Saucy Drivers' Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Don't take away any power from the police in correcting auto or taxi drivers. The majority need more discipline than they get. I live on a corner of a one way avenue, the other avenue has traffic lights and I watch the lawless driving. Because such pretend to own an automobile, most of them are impudent and drive over the line. I often ask how I am to cross the street.

If the people of this Judicial department have half the consideration for the administration of Justice that one has a right to expect, Judge Cropsey will be overwhelmingly re-elected.

I have no idea of his defeat, but I would like to see htm get such a vote would hereafter be a lesson to all the present and future bosses and demagogues of this department. I know James C.

I know of no school textbook that would tell the truth about war and its cause, but Arthur Ponsonby's "Falsehoods in Wartime" is an excellent little peace pamphlet that explodes all the pretty little lies told between 1914-18, and slashes both the Allies and the Central Powers with equal lack of bitterness and prejudice.

I believe that a copy of this should be in every school library, if not in every history room; the history teachers should digest it and tell the scholars parts of it that prove as lies certain statements in our history books. We who are to be the diplomats and statesmen and citizens of tomorrow ought to be given a fair chance to avoid what the politicians and peoples of today were ignorant enough to blunder into.

STICHT. New York, Aug. 11. Judges and Partisanship Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Anentyour editorial commenting on the desired Democratic endorsement of Judges Pound and Cropsey, may I ask why your paper failed to comment on the appointment of Republicans only to the United States Supreme Court Bench? The highest court in the land should certainly be nonpartisan, yet President Hoover appointed two Republicans successively. I believe the last appointment before that by President Coolldge was also Republican.

How do you explain that? Last fall there was a hullabaloo because Mr. McCooey felt there were as capable Democrats fitted for the Supreme Court as Republicans. He was Justified by the failure of up-State Republicans to indorse a capable up-State Demorratlo Judge because the Republican leaders stated "they saw no difference in a judge running on a partisan ticket any more than any other elective official" When the Republicans had the upper hand in this State and Kings County they hogged everything. The United Btates Supreme Court is a sample of their belief in nonpartlsanshlp. E.

Shore and marsh birds are worse off than most of the other native kinds. The winged creatures that live in the woods and on waste land have the cityward shift of human beings largely in their favor. We cultivate less land in the East than we did ten years ago, and wild life gets the run of much of what relapses from cultivation. But shore land remains in demand; freshwater marshland often is Hooded by the dams of municipal water systems and of power companies. Those who work for the preservation of bird life might do well to concentrate on the water fowL Saratoga's Wicked Traditions.

Energy and concentration overcome most of gambling destroyed root and branch is quite like the 1926 demand of Governor Smith, who on the Heffernan report exercised his power and removed the Sheriff of the county and the the handicaps of life, which in our age Is chiefly competitive.

The work at Camp Six is not District Attorney. Gambling somehow always comes back.

"The Lamp," which Miss St. Denis and Mr. Shawn have created to the "Preludes" ot Liszt.

It would be in a way presumptuous to praise the performances of these dancers, Miss St. Denis, Mr. Shawn and their admired company. Long ago they established the standards by which they desired work to be appraised, and below these standards they have never declined. The entertainment that they offer is professional in presentationit is only to the ideas of t'-o Denlshawns that one may take exception, finding In them a lack of -originality, of clarity, of significant form.

The Eastern ballets and dances are often admirable Occidental imitations of fascinating Oriental originals, but they are not creative. And in its other aspects, the Denlshawn repertory is often disappointing indeed. One has only to see Miss St. Denis and Mr. Shawn play at being "Josephine and Hippolyte" to Drigo's Serenade and to remember what an exquisite episode Pavlowa danced to this same muslo to realize how far the Denlshawn dance is below the finest in esthetic quality.

I'm not talking about treaties, such as art a menace to the world, like the treaty of Versailles, or certain disarmament treaties which should have been mads but weren't.

Not much can be done about this, but it seems to me somehlng can be done about making the coming generation anti-war. School is one of the greatest molds for forming a youngster's ideas, and In school we are drilled in hatred through the history books, and hatred is the mother of war. Having just finished my third year in high I know of what I speak. The history books we used may have been ail right during the war, but now they are obsolete. They try to teach that old, eternal, unklllable, International fairy tale of our utter righteousness in a war framed by the deviltry and greed of an enemy who fights only tor evilness.

Not only do they falsify war; they falsify history. In short, such books like the treaty which came after the war are a menace to peace and a disgrace to this enlightened decade.
