What are New York's 43 elected representatives in the United States Senate and House doing to help lighten the load for New York taxpayers? VlANY thines in the President's letter to benator L Hitchcock could have been said or written with yequal cogertey an.d better results AFTER ratification fit trie peace treaty. For its own good and for the good of the world '.the United States should enter the League of Nations I. NOW. rlt Should join as wholeheartedly and with as few L reservations as circumstances and Jhe prescribed jrtelhod by which it must ratify treaties permit. But, Preservations or no reservations, it slwuld join. W 'That, in the eyes of an overwhelming majority of .'Americans, has come to appear plainly and impera tively the greater good. Since it can only join by the Constitutional means Kof a Senatorial vote and since it has become certain that vote can only be obtained by permitting a certain number of United States Senators to write personal ,or political prejudice, rancor and hostility to the Pres ident into the peace treaty, \the Nation slwuld accept \ a1 deeply distasteful necessity for the sake ot the im mensely greater issue involved. To the people of the United States and to the rest pof the world it is now and will continue to be perfectly plain who and what are to be held responsible for ;mean or unworthy inclusions in trie tormai terms on uwh'kh the United States enters the League. i Such inclusions need in no wise affect the spirit in \which a larger Americanism becomes part of the 'League or the moral pressure which tje American jpeople will bring to bear whenever it becomes a ques tion of acting under the provisions of Article A. or any other article. I The President would have contributed more to .the : situation had he expressed his faith in this moral pres- - b$hxt certain to be exerted by the country as a whole ',ahd had he, relying thereon, deemed it his own duty make ratification sure.

A SIGNIFICANT report on the prospects of Pro- - hibition as an issue in the coming Presidential campaign was furnished yesterday by The Evening World's Washington correspondent, David Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence finds Democratic leaders already fig- -J uring the probable effects of putting in the Democratic platform a plank caHing for a liberal interpretation and enforcement of the Federal Prohibition Amendment. They reckon a Democratic declaration of this char acter would stand a strong chance of securing the elec- toral vote not only of New York, New Jersey, Massa chusetts and Ohio, but of at least fifteen Southern and border States, making a total of 276 votes in the Electoral College, where 2W3 will elect a President. They see, besides, ten doubtful States, any one or more of which might make the winning margin greater. Such estimates have their deepest \meaning in the fact that they seek the measure of present power not in the Prohibition lobby but in the popular vote. It is no longer a question how much fear the agents f the Anti-Salo- League can put into the soul of the legislator by making him believe their threats are the threats of his constituents. The question is now: What do a majority of those constituents think in their own minds about Nation- wide Prohibition and how would they vote? The way they think about it now is not the way they thought about it two years or even a year ago. To-da-y their thoughts and energies are not concen- trated on war. t They are not ready to make any and every sacrifice which Uicy can be persuaded may even remotely con- tribute to winning a war. They are no longer easy marks for an organized body of fanatics zealous to suppress liberty and the Constitution in order to fasten their own power upon the country. Level-heade- Americans who believe in temperance, who believe in fighting the evils of the liquor traffic, who believe in abolishing the kind of saloon the United States lias seen too much of, are nevertheless convinced that the reforms they sought could have been brought about without handing over the Nation to the Anti-Saloo- n League. These same Americans now look with disgust upon the spectacle this State presents of an angry Prohibi- tion Boss alternately scolding and sneering at legis- lators, trying to stir up trouble between Catholics and Protestants, cracking the whip over clergymen, out- raging decency all because the road to undisputed power is not as smooth as he expected it to be. Every day more people in the United States, includ- ing many who have called themselves Prohibitionists, are saying to themselves and to otlwrs that while they would never go back to the, saloon, while they believe the sale of whiskey and gin should be restricted, they never thought that wine and beer in all their forms should or would be banned. , Every day increasing numbers 'of temperate, well- - balanced citizens point to the power' of Congress to define what constitutes intoxicating liquor, as an obvi- ous and honest means of meeting the need for some speedy modification of the absurd extreme to which the Volstead Act carries Federal Prohibition. Willi the increasing volume and force of this public attitude toward Nation-wid- e Prohibition, viewed in the light of peace and sane second thought, political lead- ers as well as Prohibitionists must reckon. American voters will never vote back the old-tim- e saloon. But neither will any one ever convince a majority of them that to keep out the saloon they have- - got to kow-to- w to an Anderson. WILL THEY STAY CHEAP? AGAIN comes the suggestion that the public help drive down the cost of living by eating the less expensive cuts of meat. Again we are Inclined to skepticism. Once more we are open to conviction that the cheaper cuts go begging at the butcher-shop- s because every one including the I. R. T. wants porterhouse ;ind will not be satisfied with a boiling piece from the neck. What are these cheap cuts? Where may they be purchased, and at what price? What is becoming of them now? Perhaps this information will not interest the class,\ nor the plutocrats, but the \new poor,\ the wives of the \white-colla- r boys,\ will be glad to learn Let us have specific information, not generalities. Finally, what guarantee has a profiteer-ridde- n publk that the price of these cheap cuts which are not si The Pullman Com- - very cheap, after all will not aviate as soon as they ny U weiconic to It, JBut, again wc wonder, what are popularized? r ioB av,rwWNsaSi4.\ Obr wwuer lute.

He may be wroiirbut tliut is what he thinks. Also, lie believes lie knows what he wants you to do. Again he may be in error, but such, notwithstanding, is his\ belief. It,niiiy be ensy for you to tell the boss where he is mistaken in many things, hut don't do it. It may hurl his feelings in the first plncc, ami it may hurt his opinion of you in the second place. For most men who have risen to a position which cn-nbl- cs them to hire other men have a very strong belief in, themselves. And they naturally will think more of men who agree with them than of men who differ. Wc sometimes hear young men in fits of nnger \telling the boss where he gets off,\ although not as often ns we hear them say that this is what they do. IJttt we never saw one who gained any advantage by it. If you are right about a thing, mid know you are right, it is very well to prove it provided it will do the business any good. Uttt unless you ran save your employer a lot of money by shpwing him that he is in the wrong, you'd better re- frain from doing so. Men don't like to tie put in the wrong, and they like still less to be proved in. the wrong. Anil bosses, like the rest of us, are only men after all, with men's weaknesses and failings. If you're hired us a consultant, you are selling your opinion, and can give it with impunity. Hut if you arc hired as nn assistant, charged with carrying Out orders, it will do you no harm to carry out the orders exactly as given no harm at all. Carry them out as well as you can, asking only such questions as are necessary, and believing thai lo carry them out is just at that time the most important thing in the world. If you will do that repeatedly the boss will have to pro- mote you whether he wants to or not, because if he doesn't somebody else will find out about-yo- n and hire you. With hundreds of people hunting for exceptionally competent men, nobody can hide you. Hut if you begin by showing the boss how much better you can run I he Imshiess than he can, you will never have a chance lo prove your confidence, for you never will-b- e given anything important to do.

I Motion Picture Projec- - tionist. Pastibilities of Entering, . This Trade The laws In various cltlen differ aa to the experience which is required before a man Is giv'en a license to operate a projection ma- chine In a theatre. In practically every city a license Is given by some city department after an examination . has been successfully pnjseU by the j applicant. In most cases a young man served an apprenticeship ot from ' threo months to one year under a licensed operator In preparation for this examination. In New York State tho law dooa not pormlt an appren- ticeship and the training must be In schools or as an apprentice In another State. No pre vlou,ex peri-enc- e Is required to be allowed the examination. About UUiriicenaes havo been Issued In New York. Stat . and there aro about &00 regular posl- - . tlons, showing\ that this trade Is over- crowded at present. This trtuto 'Is about SO per cent, organized. Union men In Now York City feel that' there should bo a regular appret.ticeshlp required besides passing thu city ex- amination. A bill tu this effect will soon bo Introduced at Albany. The feeling scorns to be that the schools cannot glvo the men the practical training which Is required for a good projectionist. In most cities men work seven days a week. Some of the larger cltlcsi have a week The examination for a. license covqrs a knowledge of ordinances and flro laws, fundamentals of'cli -- trlclty pertaining to the projecting machines and tho necessary electrical equipment such ad motor generator, .rotary convertrs, mercury .no recti-fle- is and tru- - ornicrs. lloth D. C. and A. C. current is iid and elec trical laws pertaining to both, are covered In the examinations.. Schoollnn No Mieetlied amount of general schooling is required. The schools courses preparatory to the city examinations urt- taKOli cover a period of about three months At least a common school education Is desirable. Salary When therp ls a regular apprenticeship the o is about lli a week during this period. Hegular opirators receive from V21 to J55 ai week In New York City. This varies somewhat In other cities. In large houses tho supervisor may receive as much as tlOO a week. One supervl- - j Rir in New York City receives $5,000 a year. Type of Young Men Best Suited foe This Trade This work is essentially mechanical and is brst suited to the young man who is mechanically In- clined and imperially int\iested In electricity. The work is not always plrasant or clean and In summer is very lint. Qualifications Resides a good knowledge of electric. ty an operator must be thoroughly familiar with the mechanics of tho projection machine nnd be aWe to keep his machine in working condition and mako minor repairs. He must be able to patch tne film whenever it breaks. A good hearing is essential, stneo any trouble with the machlno ls detected by the 6und. Remarks The standard makes of machines are the Simplex, Powers, Master Model, Monograph and Halrd. \Tho machine being operated should be carejully studied to avoid acci- dents and the possibility of lire.
