That relief would be quicker and cheaper than the subway terminal planned at Thirty-second street.

There was a big revolt of formerly prominent Democrats chilling the Manhattan fight for the State ticket.

The Republicans nominated Daly. All over the State it was asserted that the Tammauy Tiger would not have a judge on the lench whom It could not control. John D. Crinimins, the biggest contractor in the city, was antagonizing Croker. It is at least a fair guess that if Daly had been renominated Roosevelt would have been beaten.

Speculation as to what that would have meant to the whole future of the United States is fascinating. Roosevelt, a failure as a candidate for Governor, would never have been nominated for Vice President and would never have become President. The Panama Canal might never have been built.

THE SENATE BONUS BILL A FRAUD. 1 Mr. McCumbor's presentation of his tonus bill to the Senate was marked ty apologetic abatements designed to reassure those aoubtlng souls who see Janger to the Treasury and evil for taxpayer in the universal tipping 'Tit ex-service men. As to the moral Iniquity of a measure which wou iave not the smallest chance of pas- sage in a year when no Congressional 'flections tempted legislators to trade r-tbelr votes for political favor, Mr, i i McCumber said nothing in his report ito the Senate. Probably he had no Wish to arouse another outburst of laughter such as happened in the House when an apologist for the Hbonus grab insisted that there was no political motive behind the bill.

Mr. McCumtifr is undertaking the Impossible task of convincing the pub Uie that the bill is by no means so bad ls painted. He points to the assured (payment of British interest on Amerl ican loans and the reduction of Govern- Stnent expenses as Treasury gains which would help offset the cost of the ftionus. Regarding the prospective interest payments from Great Britain Secretary Mellon said this in a letter frritten last January to Chairman jSFordney of the House Ways and Means ICommittee: Even if enough could be realized on nthe foreign debt in time to pay the Ebonus it would accomplish nothing to feet it aside for that purpose. As the haw now stands, and in justice to the bnillions of Liberty bondholders, the Government is bound to apply any 'principal payments by foreign gov ernments, as well as any proceeds ot ale, to the retirement of outstanding Uberty bonds.

Interest collected on the foreign obligations should likewise go to provide for the interest on Uberty bonds. In any event, it Jls clear that if the proceeds of the foreign obligations should be applied to different purposes, the Government of ithe United States to that extent would Jiave to provide for the payment ot he principal and interest of the Xiberty bonds from other sources, "which means that the people would (have to pay taxes for this purpose that would otherwise be unnecessary. This tlan to use the foreign obligations to 3ay a soldiers' bonus would still leave the burden on the shoulder of the 4pVmerican taxpayers. Obviously, Mr. McCumber does not tare whether the burden falls upon the iA.merlcan taxpayers or not so long as lie can talk glibly about interest pay-taents which, in any event, his bill Could not divert from the purposes for jwhich they are intended.

He talks Jwlth equal glibness about possible ieconomies in Government expenses as though the chief purpose of lluve ceon-itomies was immediately to spend the 'savings in bestowing largess upon inil-Jions of young men who are not In need of money but who have votes "Which the pro-bonus people in Congress are eager to buy with the taxpayers' fash. With the utmost gentleness Mr. Me-fCumber hints at the possibility of new taxation to meet the obligations of his 3recious bill. "If it does become neces. sry to impose additional taxes." he explains, "we can better determine the amount of the necessary levy and ihe methods of distributing such burdens for the future at a later date when the future condition of the Treasury will be more accurately established." As example of slipshod and muddy pleading this reaches the limit.

In effect Mr. McCumber argues that it makes no difference whether the Government signs a promissory noic for a sum which will hardly be and which may amount to $8,000,000,000 or $7,000,000,000. without calculating exactly how it is to be redeemed. Pass the bill, he crior, and let the future take care of the cost. Spread the payments over a period of forty-three years and let posterity sweat.

What has posterity ever done for us that we should hesitate to saddle it with debts contracted on the eve fcf a Congressional election? This bill may pass the Senate, but Ihe President cannot sign it without reversing himself, and there is no indication that he contemplates any Bach trick. Mr. McCumber and his associate bonus pushers have appealed to Mr. Harding in vain. He has given them no word of encouragement so far as anybody knows.

His last recorded Utterance on the subject ranged him squarely with Secretary Mellon against any plan of bonus payments which did Hot provide for the cost through the jmposition of taxation which Mr. McCumber docs not dare propose at this By WYTHE WILLIAMS. (By Cable to The Braoklyn Eanle and Phila. Ledger; Copyright, 1922.) Paris, June 9 For- the first time the annual Quat'z arts ball, which was staged last night, will be presented to the general public through the cinema. Ou account of the large number of American students now in Paris, attending American movie pho tographers 3ecured the privilege, to take picture? of the dancers in costume before the ball began and of the grand parade that occurs at dawn, when the revelers in the scantiest costumes march from the ballroom through the streets of Paris to the gardens of Beaux Arts, where they all bathe in the fountains as a final rite.

The American students, among whom are scores of American girls who saw the ball for the first time, CET TOGETHER ON A TUNNEL The break in the opposition of Staten Island to the Transit Commission's plan to extend the Fourth avenue subway line to the Island was interesting, and it may easily become important The movement Is the more promising la that it was led by Borough President Cahill, who, as a member of the Board of Estimate, does business in the enemy's country. A large delegation of Staten Islanders had declared their faith in the city's plan for a joint freight and passenger tunnel to Brooklyn and Chairman McAneny had explained that he believes in a freight tunnel under the Narrows and would be willing to build a passenger tunnel while the Board of Estimate was building a parallel freight tunnel, his objection being only to an attempt to use the same tunnel for both purposes, which the engineers declare to be impracticable. Then Mr. Cahill let daylight through the clouds by saying: If we can reach the point whereby we can deal with one another in an honest, open-hearted, sincere way, giv ing way where we are wrong and ex pecting to receive credit where we are right, there was no doubt in my mind as I listened to you, Mr. McAneny that we can get somewhere.

I was glad to hear you say you were in favor of a freight subway. I would not stand on any technicality. What we want is service and we will go nine-tenths of the way to get it. That is a good beginning, as showing a broad-minded spirit In dealing with a question which is of vital im portance to Staten Island and impor tant in only a lesser degree to the city as a whole. Mr.

Cahill accepted a plan which would link the Brooklyn rapid transit system with the Staten Island line for a single fare. He added that he would see the city engineers and try to have them meet the Commission's engineers to work out a route. When it was suggested that they try to secure the appointment by the Board of Estimate of a committee to confer with one from the Transit Com mission he replied, "You bet I will." That is the right thing to be done. Hope will rise higher, however, if Mr. Cahill can persuade his fellow members of the Estimate Board to create such a conference committee.

The disposition of that body not to sup with the Transit devil even with the longest sort of a spoon has been very pronounced hitherto. A break of one in its ranks is encouraging. AUGUSTUS VAN WYCK. The death of Augustus Van Wyck after a hospital operation, at the age of 72, is the passing of a man whom Brooklyn delighted to honor and never regretted having honored. Horn in old New York City, educated in North Carolina, Van Wyck's whole active life as a lawyer was in Brooklyn, and his standing at the bar justified his nom ination for the Bench in 1SSG.

For twelve years he was a just and cour teous judge. As jurist, citizen, club man he leaves only pleasant memories, Politically Mr. Van Wyck was for a time identified with Thomas Kinsella's Jefferson party in antagonism to the regular Democratic organization here. He made peace with McLaughlin or McLaughlin made peace with him. Each man came to trust the other.

Also James Shevlin, the first lieutenant of the "Boss," developed a keen ad miration for the Judge. Hence the de termination to use Van Wyck's name to "pull off" a governorship for Kings County, which had had from the Re publicans a Lieutenant Governor In Timothy L. Woodruff. Van Wyck could have stayed on the beuch. His renominatiou and re-election were al most certain.

But naturally he had ambitions. On September 27, 1S08, at Saratoga Springs, the Republicans gave a clean bill of health to Frank S. Black's: administration but refused to renom inate him, though he was a candidate. Thomas C. Piatt, who controlled things, knew that Black's methods had hurt the party.

He did not love Theodore Roosevelt, but the "Hero of San Juan Hill" shone in all his glory as a pos sible vote-getter. Black had 218 votes. Roosevelt had 753 and was nominated. The Democratic Convention met the next day in Syracuse. James K.

Mc. Guire, Mayor of that city; Robert C. Titus and John B. Stanchfield, former partner of David B. Hill in Elmira, were candidates for the gubernatorial nomination.

Van Wyck was McLaughlin's candidate, and Tammany's. He had votes. Stanchfield came next with 41. The reasons for the selection were obvious. Van Wyck's brother, Robert, the Mayor, was a great factor in Tammany Hall.

The Judge was personally known to all lawyers in Manhattan as in Brooklyn. He was a prominent Episcopalian churchman. He was identified with the Southern Society, the Holland Society, the New England Society, and not a breath of scandal had ever touched his public career. So the issue was joined between Van Wyck and Roosevelt for the Governorship. The result is known; Roosevelt, 061,707 Van Wyck, Roosevelt's plurality, 17,786.

In the Greater City, just finding itself. Van Wyck led Roosevelt by 84,006. He carried Kings by over 18,000. He car. ried every borough.

But the figures were not high enough. Up-State Republicans just topped them. And, at that, practical politicians have estimated that one blunder of Richard Croker very possibly changed the result After very long service on the bench Justice Joseph F. Dly was "turned down" and. David Leventritt which would carry Long Islanders di rectly Into downtown Manhattan.

SAVING RI1S PARK. The Sinking Fund Commission is to be commended for its action in refus ing the request of the Navy Depart ment that a part of Jacob Riis Park at Rockaway be given over to the Fed eral Government for permanent use as a naval air station. The arguments advanced in support of this project have never been sufficiently convinc ing to justify the sacrifice of this valuable seaside property. So long as the matter remained unsettled there was danger that the city authorities might yield to the demand of the Navy Department. Happily, this danger was fully realized by various civic organizations and the protests were vigorous and Impressive.

It is a good sign that citizens and groups manifest such concern when the welfare of the city is threatened. In this case it was not a question of civic virtue triumphing over forces of evil, but of civic pride and vision triumphing over indifference and mistaken zeal on the part of naval officials. A FRIEND OF OUR FRIEND THE DOG. William Allen White, even as Abou Ben Adhem, loves his fellow men, but he also loves dogs. And when he learned that the city authorities out in Emporia were advertising that they would pay boys twenty-five cents for every stray dog brought to the pound to be killed, he thundered forth in his Gazette with all the vigor of his famous "What's the Matter With Kansas?" Mr.

White wants to know what's the matter with the Emporia authorities, anyhow? Were they never boys? Don't they know that "the boy who would deliberately bring a stray dog to the city pound to be killed for two bits ought to be killed himself?" In Mr. White's view the advertisement had in it "the meanest inference about Emporia boys that ever has been made. Think of the kind of boy who valued a quarter above the life of a dog a stray dog any dog on earth!" Most human beings, everywhere, share Mr. White's sentiment Em poria's city administration could be turned out of office on the issue. A government with such a low idea of dogs and boys should not be trusted with the management of public affairs.

We assume that Emporia officials are already aware of their serious mistake in thus libeling human nature boy nature. As penance they should be compelled to memorize Maeterlinck's essay on "Our Friend, the Dog." Man's love for the dog is not mere sentimentality. As Maeterlinck points out, we are absolutely alone on this chance planet; and, "amid all the forms of life that surround us, notone, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us." The dog is the only animal that has leaped the gulf be tween man and the lower orders, and by his own fidelity and love proved himself to be man's true friend. Mr, White does well to remind the race of this alliance, based upon mutual love. "ADAM AND EVE" STRIKE A SNAG.

Whether a man and a woman, with out "civilized clothing," without tools, utensils, weapons or food from any outside sources, can live in our northern woods for any considerable period of time, was the question Carl A. Sut ter and his wife chose to try answer ing. Newspapers widely heralded their plan as an "Adam and Eve" experiment. To the sociologist and the economist it cannot seem a silly experiment. But Adam and Eve when they left the Garden of Eden were almost certainly vegetarians.

No fruit that grew had proved harmful to them with the single exception of those fateful apples. And the country that they went out into was rich in wild growing fruits, semi-tropical, luxuriant. Northern Maine is a very different proposition. Mr. and Mrs.

Sutter are not vege tarians. They had counted on trapping and killing game to live on. They had forgotten the game laws or had imagined that these were not likely to be enforced. So they are now jailed at Houlton, the game wardens having got on their track. It appears that the couple killed partridges.

The world would like to know how. The partridge is a wily bird. Without a gun or even bow and arrows it's pretty hard to bag him. As for the deer it is explained that Sutter made a pitfall on a deer run, and was lucky, or unlucky, as the case may turn out. We can't help thinking that the game wardens were a bit overzealous.

They might have waited till the experiment was over and then done their work. "Adam and Eve" should not have been hampered by the hobbles of an artificial civilization when their work of enlightenment had just begun. Some wags will see a sex equality motif in a tariff bill that puts heavy duties on cash registers and sewing machines alike. Extortion cares about what it Is to get, not where the money is to come from. The organization of overseers of the poor in New Jersey are told at an Atlantic City conference by their president that all private philanthropy I than in his campaign against Augustus Van Wyck.

JAMES M. BECK AT HIS WORST. America regards James M. Beck as an able lawyer, a strong controversial 1st, an orator who is alwavs a ceres sive, sometimes discreet. As Solicitor General he has no diplomatic func tions and no diplomatic limitations.

But he is an oflicer of the United States Government, and he was distinctly at his worst In his attack on Wootlrow Wilson at the Oxford Union, where Englishmen asked him to speak. The assertion that "America is unan imous in the opinion that Wilson should not have gone to Paris" is ab surd, and Mr. Beck knows it to be absurd. Probably a majority of Amer icans think the journey was a mis take, hut America is "unanimous" on nothing. Also, there are millions of us who sincerely believe that worse things might have happened if the President had not gone.

There are more millions who agree with Beck that "the European States would have made a quicker and a better peace if President Wilson had stayed home." Therefore, we are not surprised that even Englishmen manifested their feeling against Beck's breach of good taste by cries of "Question of the wisdom or unwisdom of the Wil son trip to Paris Is today a merely academic question. It may properly be discussed on this side of the water. The American who discusses it in Eng land or in France or in Italy is not an enthusiastic defender of the dignity of this Republic, whose political disputes he submits. to the judgment of for eigners. His course is utterly inde fensible.

ANNIVERSARY PARADE. The Anniversary Day parades yesterday, with 110,000 children marching, with the Governor, Senator Calder, the Mayor and many judges in the review- ing stands, was, as it has been for almost a century, an impressive dem onstration of the interest in religious teaching and of the union of all prot estant bodies in putting emphasis on that teaching. The importance of the demonstra tion as an event in the life of the city has declined with the growth of popu lation and the multiplicity of inter ests. When the celebration began, ninety-three years ago, Brooklyn was a city In name but a village in its so cial relations. So long as any of the village spirit lasted Anniversary Day continued to be one of the big events in the life of the city and later of the Borough of Brooklyn.

With, the growth of the town it has come to be one of many demonstrations dividing the interest of an Increasingly diverse population, instead of Brooklyn's own unique day as it once was. It stands for its faith as distinctively as it ever did and there is the more need for the emphasis It gives as the diversity of the population increases. OVER 200,000,000 COMMUTERS. The figures given out by the Transit Commission, showing that 201,579,512 commuters came in and out of this city last year, an average rot about 550,000 a day, emphasizes the urgent need of transit provision to take them from the various terminals to their offices and explains the consideration given to the plan to make a com muters terminal for Westchester and Long Island on the site of the car barn at Fourth avenue in Manhattan. The Importance of transit provision is shown by the falling off in traffic at the Flatbush avenue station of the Long Island road for lack of such pro vision.

But the Long Island still remains the chief commuting line com ing into the city, and the Flatbush avenue station continues to be the chief center of congestion. The total traffic of that road last year was over 60,000,000, of whom almost 33,000,000 rode in and out of the Flatbush ave nue station, the most poorly equipped terminal in the city. This shows that the most pressing of the various transit improvements under consideration is that suggested by the Transit Commission recently, a subway from Flatbush avenue down Atlantic avenue with a tunnel under the river to Battery Park. If the plans for such a subway were to be drawn at once it would hardly be ready for use before the four-track subway for the length of Manhattan Island, using Eighth avenue for most of the distance, also under considera tion. With the various subways now having stations near the Battery this proposed four-track trunk line would distribute the inflow from Long Island without the congestion which is the present chief trouble of the subways and which Mr.

McAneny is planning to reduce by keeping commuting traffic to lines of its own. It was in that connection that he mentioned his hope for a four-track subway in Atlantic avenue and under the river to Man-1 Germany "Puts One Over" In Bowing to Allied Edict met at their Latin Quarter rendezvous, the Hotel Jacob, near the Ecole des Eeaux Arts, where they dressed for the ball. From there they paraded to the famous cafe of "Th Two Magots," where movie men took the preliminary pictures. Whether the final reel of film the parade at dawn will pass the Amer-t) ican censor is problematical, inas- much as the costumes this year are of the Hindoo period of a thousand years before Christ, and so are apt to result in almost no costumes as the ball nears its conclusion.

As your correspondent pointed out recently, Germany intends to prevent the development of the projected trans-European air service with Entente machines, most of which cross German territory, unless and until Germany is permitted to build machines of similar power to the Entente commercial craft. The Paris Prague aerytce with French machines and the Dutch-Soandinavian service with neutral planes, the latter being an extension of the London-Ccntinent route, are the first to feel thj pinch.

A tit-for-tat joker of rare diplomatic humor is concealed in the German notification to the Allied Powers and adjacent neutral states that, bowing to the council of ambassadors' decision of limiting the size and type of aircraft Germany is permitted to build or use, she has prohibited all airplanes and dirigibles surpassing the very narrow limitations for size, speed, power and carrying capacity imposed upon German builders from entering Germany or crossing German territory. The foreign office argues that since aircraft not complying with these regulations are, by the council's ruling, of a military character, Mie Government is bound to bar them all Entente as INTERNATIONAL YEAR BOOK 1921 The International Year Book for 1921 comes a very welcome, because a very helpful, friend to our shelves.
