T oday A Baity—Other News. Ask Tammany. A Thinking Time. Clearly and Simply. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ The body of a baby a month old, was found floating in New York harbor yesterday. It was a boy, no clothing, no possible identifica tion. That’s a subject for paint ers. poets and lawmakers. A Baby’s body floating in water reems pitiful. We all notice it. From every big city, spirits of ba bies are always floating up in the air, leaving their bodies hehind with their mothers to pay for a funeral. Those babies don’t interest any body much. Some of them ought never to have been born. Ninety per cent of the others could, and would, have been saved if a human child were worth half as much as a chow puppy. Bonar Law, England’s prime minister, is ill, perhaps with can cer. Somebody must take his place. The American consulate in the city of Mexico was blown up. That incident, work of some fanatic, should hot interfere with a Mex ico-United States understanding. Russia would hold Switzerland responsible for the murder of the Russian envoy. But Switzerland is the wrong “little country” for a big ration to bully. Every Swiss has a rifle and knows how to use it. It would cost more to conquer Switzerland than Switzerland would be worth—to anybody ex cept the Swiss. Willis J. Abbott, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, says modern newspapers lack “the voice of authority with which successful editors of 25 years ago often spoke.” It isn’t the newspaper, but the editor that lacks authority, when authority is lacking. But is it lacking? If Mr. Ab bott will ask the managers of Tam many Hall what they think about the smash that a New York paper gave them on the front page Thursday he will learn Tammany does not miss the editor of 25 years ago.” Friendly advice to union work men: Times are not had for men engaged in labor. Wages are good, higher than they ever were. It doesn’t take much to disturb good times, to frighten capital, or make capitalists "wait awhile and see what happens.” No man should forfeit his rights, or submit to hardship. But it is a good time for intelligent men to think awhila before disturbing a good situation W’ith strikes and other troubles, more easily started than ended. “To see a thing clearly and de scribe it simply,” is the chief thing in writing. Lloyd George, in his latest article says: "An inflammable spirit of ha tred and revenge saturates Eu rope.” That is clear and simple and it is something for our statesmen to keep in mind as they plan to get this country mixed up with Eu ropean matters. President Harding, Secretary Hughes and even Woodrow Wil son will admit that Lloyd George, since 1914, has been in a posi tion to know what is happening in Europe. Take your children to the den tist. It ia the best time of year for that. See that they have new tooth brushes, good tooth powder or paste. You would be glad to give $10, 000 to each child today. A visit now to a competent dentist, fol lowed by care of the teeth, will be worth far more than $10,000 to an Intelligent child later on in life. Religious people say, most rea sonably, that radio broadcasting of sermons ought to help in saving souls. The radio of itself should stimu late religious thought. How great must be the government of this universe, that can create tiny hu man microbes on this little earth, able to talk around the earth through the air. If human beings ran perform such a miracle, what miracles lie within the power of omnipotence? Deep sorrow in Berlon when Fingland got the Berlin-to-Bagdad • railroad that interested the kaiser so much in the old days. But sor row does not paralyze German en terprise, apparently. They are just starting a flying machine line from Berlin to Teheran in Persia, via Moscow. Railroads are ex pensive, slow, dangerous. Before long, with flying machines every where, (hat Berlin-to Bagdad rail road will seem as old-fashioned as the rocking camel that carried yueen Shsba to Kmg'fcolomon. Release Ordered of Pair Held on Gambling Charge Judge Holmes Approves Bond of Cigar Store Owners— Butler Refuses to Al low Bail. No one may be held by the police on an investigation charge without bond, according to ruling made by Municipal Judge George Holmes Sat urday. The judge was ruling in the cage of A. L.

When .Judge Holmes was ap proached on the matter he immediate ly issued a written order to the chief of police and the jailer at the city jail, in which he "authorized and or dered" that Anderson and Backitt he released on bonds at once. The bonds, he said, had been approved by him. They were set at $2,000 In each case. "There Is no law that deprives a man of his liberty if he offers bonds for his appearance in court unless he Is held for murder or treason,” Judge Holmes said. "These men were held for investi gation. I do not know’ the patties, but reliable bonds were offered for their release and appearance In court Monday. Every man Is entitled to bail. "Mr. Butler." the judge continued, "is an officer of the court and must follow out the court's orders. If he i has made any tterogatory remarks about the court I will order him be fore me for contempt of court." Chris Shea, roofing contractor, posted bonds for the two men ss soon as their release had been author ized. Anderson and Baskitt were ar rested Saturday noon by the morals souad after information had come to Butler that a parimutuel book was bring made in their cigar store. Buys Ticket.
