The Governor's Achievement Governor Miller and those work? ing with him are demonstrating that it is possible to save public money? that all that is needed is a ruthless will to economy. Many people will hold that a miracle has been performed at Al bany when they read that next year's appropriations will be $11, ??38.000 under this year's and $80, 000,000 under the estimates. The Tcal miracle is to be found in the emergence af a new view of the ctate as an agency of service and of the Legislature's duty to the public. The chief credit for the new spirit in state finance and management must go to Governor Miller. Be? fore him we had executives who talked earnestly against extrava gance. But until he arrived we never had a Governor peremptory enough to say that he would not tolerate it. While awaiting the re Kults of a long overdue reorganlza tion of the state's unwieldy scheme of government he also laid down the rule that expansion must stop and that next year's budget must, at the worst, not exceed this one's. The legislative managers have now gone him one better. They will pass laws appropriating $11,738,000 less than the 1920-'21 total. But they have also taken care of emer gency obligations already incurred by law amounting to more than $15,000,000. Personal service has been cut by $2,896,000" and 2,000 jobs have been abolished. One fatal tendency at Albany has been to provide more workers than there was work to do and then to complete the cycle by rcaching out for new activities to j'.bsorb more political patronage. 1 he idea was too prevalent that the state ought to shine as a liberal em ployer and investor rather than as a hard-headed business agency. The personal human element will always remain in politics and government, fcut the scientific exactitude of the corporation point of view also has :ts place there. We shall probably get a reorgan ized and more efflcient state govern? ment as the result of the experi ment which is being conducted at Albany. Governor Miller has oiared the path and broken the f-pell of inertia and skepticism. He is the pioneer, the leader of vision and confidence, who at last trans lated the retrenchment and reeon struction promises of other admin istrations into beneficent action. Manning the Fleet In 191-1 the General Board of the Navy oflicially advised the Secrctary that 20,000 additional men were needed to man our lighting forces. In urging the importance of this increase the board declared: "Ships of war without crewa were like so many masses of steel useless for purposes of war and leading only to a false sense of national sccurity." This truism was ignored, and three years later wc entered the war with ar*half-manned fleet. To-day the Navy is facing a similar situation. The Bureau of Navigation declarea that there are not enough enlisted men to man the Iirst line dreadnoughts and modern destroyers that constitute the main fighting forces. And it is even threatened that Congress may cut the present force still more. The inconsistency of appropriat? ing hundreds of millions for ships and then refusing to supply men to man them must be self-evident. The 1916 building program which was approved by both naval committees will call for 35,000 additional men if these ships are to be something more than "masses of steel useless for purposes of war"?if they are not to be tied up to the navy yard docks. Many of these ships are nearing completion. Moreover, it must be made plain to Congress that the crews of fight? ing ships in modern war must be highly trained. Green men cannot win. Here agaim we come face to face with one of Admiral Mahan's immutable maxims: "Good men with j poor ships are better than poor men with good ships." Before the naval bill is resubmitted to Congress there should be intelli gent study to determine how much money the nation can afford to spend on the navy and how best to ap portion this money in order to Becure modern weapons, modern ships and the personnel needed to man an up to-date fighting fleet. Workable Industrial Democracy The great problem confronting not cnty this country but every one of modern business organixation is to take the workers and the manage? ment of industry into wholesome co operation. The world wants an in? dustrial democracy that makes every man in a big plant interested in his ;ob and visibly a sharer in the fruits of efficlent toil and intelligent control. Every large business man with vision to see beyond tho confines of habit is fumbling to build a bridge connecting what are called labor and capital. What the eager worker means to a factory is reallzed more than ever before. Having stimu lated managers by holding out the hope of profits, there is need to stim ulate the worker in the same way. Profit-sharing we now have, and have long had, but it should be more manifest. The Armour Packing Company has now announced a plan by which its wage workers will share in the control of its great business, have free access to its books, and thus karn from evidence whose integ rity they will not challenge that the slacker and sabotager of production wjures his ellow workman more than hc injures his employer. Here is statesmanship emanating from the practical experiences of business which is more promising than that coming from legislatures. It indicates, once again, that the re public of business is more adaptable and resourceful than the republic of politics. It does not legislate in the same manner as the formal govern? ment, but it legislates nevertheless. Its face is now strongly turned toward creating conditions which will make industrial disputes ab surdities. Four More The Whitman grand jury yester? day reported the indictment of four more detective sergeants?these for "shaking down" financial houses which were seeking to recover stolen bonds. Yet there is no action at Albany looking to the appointment of a special committee to investigate city affairs. The surface of the graft condition has been but scratched. Mr. Whitman is limited to cases clearly criminal and fincft his work hampered by the District Attorney's office, the city administration, and especially the Police Department. Yet the Legislature provides no help. Why? No one explains. It presents itself as opposed to Hylan ism as it affects the transit problem, yet its inaction protects Hylan? smoothes the pathway for a continu ation of his administration. Is there an ambition to turn the city over to Hearst and Tammany for an in definite period? Silesia's Plebiscite The Upper Silesian plebiscite next Sunday ought to end a situation which the Gerrnan politicians have been manipulating to delay treaty en forcement. Dr. Simons maneuvered at London?very awkwardly, it is true?to clinch the Gerrnan title to Silesia while oflfering the Allies%a wholly inadequate financial settle? ment. He was playing to the gal leries at home, for the Germans have long been fed with the idea that they will somehow be able to annul the territorial as well as the repara tion provisions of the treaty. The Germans want to win next Sunday's election; yet if they lose it they will want to go on making a poor mouth I and trying to show that the transfer j of the Silesian coal area to Polish j covereignty will leave them less able ! to pay damages than ever. This is a whine the world is get I ting tired of. The treaty didn't con ; template that the oppressed nation 1 alities of the former empire should help to pay tho war reparations. Posen and a large part of West Prussia were freed. Alsace-Lorraine | was liberated. North Schleswig was restored to Denmark under a plebis? cite. Upper Silesia, which is racially more Polish than Gerrnan, has been directed to choose between Germany ! and Poland. The reparations bill must be paid in the long run by Gerrnan labor, ; out of the profits of Qerman indus | try. The people of South Schleswig ; and East Prussia voted to stick to the Reich and to help to pay its debt. i But Germany has no claim on the | involuntary services of the Silesians if they prefer to enter the Polish republic. Assertions that Upper Silesia is mdispensable to Gerrnan recupera tion are based on the one item of coal. Gerrnan industry, it is said, , cannot get along without the Silesian coal supply. Yet it has been shown that the consumption of Upper Sile? sian coke and coal in Germany in 1913 (not counting Upper Silesia) was only 12,463,000 tons?or 8.9 per cent of the total consumption. More over, the treaty binds Poland to per mit for fifteen years the exportation of coal, coke and mine products into Germany from any part of Upper Silesia which she may acquire under the plebiscite. Poland is required to sell these products to Gerrnan buy ers on as favorable terms as are I given to Polish or any other buyers. The plebiscite has therefore a political rather than an economic character. The Germans know this, but they have sought to proftt from the Upper Silesian economic propa ganda carried on by "soft'' peace sympathizers in England and this country. The main issue in the plebiscite is whether or not the popu lation of Upper Silesia wants to re main politically associated with the Germans and with what Germany has latterly come to atand for. Local Daylight Saving The new daylight saving season? from April 24 to September 25?is a sensiblo modification of last year's measure. The shortet period un ouestionably accords better with ex perience and the facts. Thanks to the narrowness of the up-state powers at Albany, the shift of clocks will be a local measure ln volving some inevitable inconven ience. But sentiment here is heartily in favor of daylight saving, of it is in every congested com? munity. The measure is seen to be not only a pleasure-serving con venience but a factor making for health and combating disease and death. It is sur-ely worth the bother that is entailed. Later and in years to come a larger view of the problem must inevitably prevail either at Albany or at Washington. Daylight saving should be applied to the entire East crn time zone, preferably. In any cvent the four-flfths of the popula tion of the State of New York dwelling ln the cities should not be. sacrificed to the small convenience of the one-fifth dwelling in rural districts. The Peril of Belated Justice The. processes of Jersey justice are grinding with their usual speed and certainty in the unspeakable tragedy of Perth Amboy. The negro assail ant was arrested two days after the crime and confessed the same day. His indictment is planned for next Friday and his trial for next Mon? day. If the case develops as is ex? pected he will be convicted and sen tenced within an hour. In the course of this swift march of justice no copimon law protection is denicd him, no essential step cal culated to protect tho innoccnt and prevent error is omitted. Jersey justice makes no more mistakes than New York justice. But it operates in one-tenth the time. Every one will pray that crimes of hideous violence involving racial antipathy will not recur in this re gion. But if they do, there need be i no delusions as to the power of the ; passions awakened. Habit and long i obedience to law can anywherc be ; swept aside in a period of excite ment. The one sure preventive is precisely that swift and inevitable march of justice for which the State df New Jersey is famous. Whether such emergency ever arises or not, the present lagging processes of New York justice are wasteful, costly and tend to bring i all law into contempt. They should be erided now as a matter of broad I policy. What better constructive ? achievement could Governor Miller j place to thfe credit of his administra i tion than the revision of our laws j toward this end? The Civil Practice Act The committee of the New York > State Bar Association having in | chargo the new civil practice act ! has requested the Legislature to I postpone the date of its going into j effect from April 15 to October 1. Some lawyers, apparently hoping eventually to repeal the act, urge a postponemont to April 15, 1922. The act, as shown by the associa? tion, is a great improvement upon j the existing practice. It eliminates j technicalities, expedites the trial of j causes, simplifies the administra I tion of justice. Among its merits ( are provisions that at any stage of I an action, special proceeding or ap I peal a mistake, omission, irregular ! ity or defect may be corrected or isupplied; that an error in a ruling ? of a trial court must be disregarded : if substantial right be not thereby ; affected; that no action shall fail , or be dismissed on the ground of mistake in the court in which it is brought. It abolishes the perplexing dis tinction between the orders of tho i court and those of judges. It pro j vides that no action shall be af ? fected by the non-joinder or mis [ joinder of parties; that new parties : may be added or substituted, and ? parties misjoined may be dropped | at any stage of the cause; that all : persons may be joined in one nction : as plaintiffs in whom any right to j relief in respect of or arising out [ of the same transaction or series of i transactions is alleged to exist, : whether jointly, severally or in the | alternative, and that all persons \ may be joined as defendants against j whom the right to any relief is al? leged to exist, whether jointly, severally or in the alternative, and judgment may be given against such one or more of the defendants as may be found to be liable accord ing to their respective liabilities. The taking of the evidence of parties and witnesses before trial ia greatly broadened and simplified, thereby largely eliminating artifices and surprise. Judgment may be rendered by the court in favor of any party or parties, and against any party or parties at any stage of an action or appeal if warranted. The elaborate machinery relating to writs of mandamus, prohibition and certlorari are abolished, and provision is made for obtaining re lief heretofore afforded under such writs by a simple order. The committee recommended an additional section providing that the act and tho rulcs rolating to it are remedial for the guidance of the court, their attorneys, coun stJlors and offlcers, and is liberally to be construed; that a failure to comply with the provisions of the act should not projudlce a right or prevent relief; that if it should af i flrmatively appear that a strict | compliance is nccessary to prevent injuatlce, the court forthwith must direct the defect to be supplied, and if necessary to suspend or adjourn the action or proceeding to enable that to bfe done, but in no case to dismiss it. Any layman, whether he has been a party to an action at law or not, readily can see that these pro? visions are in the interest of every citizen who may find it necessary to protect his righta or redress his wrongs. Simplification of the pro cedure in courts of justice long has had and now has the indorsement of tho leaders of the bar of the state, among othcrs Elihu . Root, Charles Evans Hughes, Governor Nathan L. Miller, William D. Guth rie, Alton B. Parker, Morgan J. O'Brien, Alphonso T. Clearwater, John B. Stanchfleld, George W. Wickersham, Henry W. Taft, Louis L. Waters, Adelbert Moot, Simon Fleischmann, Edgar T. Brackett, MeierStcinbrink and William.Church Osborn. Former Judge Clearwater is and has been chairman of the Bar Association's committee, and strongly opposes tho postponement of the effective datc to April, 1922. The Legislature can hardly afford not to listen to these distinguished jurists. The Colombian Treaty To tho Editor of The Tribune.' Sir: I would like to express my ap preciation of your editorial on "The Colombian Treaty"; also 0f the senti ments expressed by George H. Home Ijr. in his letter. Any attempt to | ratify that treaty is a direct blow at j the name and record of the grcatest American of our day and generation.? ; Theodoro Roosevelt. A recent book?in many respects an ' exccllent one?on American history says: "Certainly the compensation I provided in the treaty iu the least the ; United States should rightly do to j make good an act that can oniy be de scribed as high-handed aggression against a weaker neighhor." It is noth | ing of the sort, ns a reasonably care i ful study of the evidence will convince ' any one. To treat it as if it were?in other words, to attempt to buy the good will of any country?is to cstab lish a most undesirable precedent, the : baneful effect of which no man could j foretell. Such conduct i3 as unbe |coming a great nation like our own as i is the about-face of certain leaders in | the Senate who formerly opposed the ; treaty. W. BROOKE GRAVES. j Ithaca, N. Y., March 14, 1921. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: My views on the much dis cussed Colombian treaty are directly opposed to those expressed in your paper by George H. Horne jr. If Senator Lodge did reverse his former opposition to the treaty, that only goes to show that he is now con vinced of his previous error. Instcad of advising Senator Lodge to rea.l Roosevelt's! articie on "The Panama Bldckmail Treaty" Mr. Horne would do better if he made an impartial study of the facts on which the Colombian claim was made. Newspaper editors would render the public a service and provide a means for impartial Judgment if they would repeat for the benefit of the "misin formed" all the basie facts of tho case. ARMA^D CARUSON. New York, March 14, 1921. Could the World Carry On? To the Editor of The Tribune.

Suppose that a cataclysm of nature rhould wipe out every German and Austrian to the last inhabitant. Why should the absenco of population in Germany affect France or England?

Boot\, At last we have come upon a horror story which horrrfics, a mystery which myatiftes. The book which fulfills this description is The Grey Room, by Eden Phillpotts, published by tho Macmil lan Company. It is far and away the best book of the sort which we have read in several seasons. The Grey Room is quite outside tho usual mood and method of Phillpotts. We know him better as the author of rather slow moving and carefully realistic studies of rural and industrial Eng land. Occasionally this more familiar manner returns to plap:ue the reader. Thus, the author pauses at a point in the story where Tom May has elected to sleep in the haunted room, from which no guest has ever come out alive, to describe the countryside as it appeared the next morning before any inquiry had been made at the door of the mysterious room We were all for bounding up stairs three at a time to find out what had happened to the gallant sailor. In deed we did. "Chadlands sprang into existence when the manor houses of England?save for the persistence of occaslonal embattled parapets and other warlike survirals of unrestful days now past?had obeyed the law3 of archltectural evolution and begun to approach a future of cleanliness and comfort, rislng to luxury hitherto un-, known." There are almost three pages of architectural evolution thrust in to delay the reader's discovery of what has happened. Of course, we skipped them and found the scene ih which the knowledge of May's fate is imparted unusually skillful. "'Prince' went into the open win? dow of the breakfast room, while Henry, moved by a thought, walked tound the eastern angle of the house and looked up at the ortel window of the Grey Room, whe.re it hung aloft on the side of the wall, like a brilliant bubble, and fiashud with the sunahine that now irridated the' casement. To his surpriae he saw the window was thrown open, and May, still in his pyjamas, kneit on the cushioned recexs within and looked out at the morning "'Good lord, old chap!' he cried, 'needn't ask $ou if yuu have slept. lt's riearlv 9 o'elock.'

Sir: Why have we no poet who can write as Kipling did in "The Recei sional," "Lest we forget"? At a con? cert last Sunday tho last number was Wagner's fire music, with Wotan's farewell, which was sung In the Ger? man languago. This is the first time I have heard German on the stage since we went into the war; etfen the names of pieces have been transiatcd into English for the program. At the Metropolitan Opera th* singers have had to learn "Tristan" and "Parsifal" in English before those operas would be acceptable to the pub? lic. We have not yet signed peace with Germany. Yet little by little things German are foreed upon us. The meet? ing at Madison Square, where our country was reviled and our ex-iol diers ejected, is another example. When I heard the words of Wotan'i farewell bellowed at us in the ianguape of the people who deported young Be! gian and Frencli girls to untold hor rors I fled from the hall. As I atood in the vestibule waiting for my com panions a man and a woman came out, and I heard him say: "He is singing j in German." In the intensity of my ' feclings I suddenly heard myself aay I ing: "It is an outrage!" Thereupon the man put on his hat j as he addressed me and said: "To m? i it is the most beautiful ianguage ln I the world." To which T replied: "Then j take it home where it helongs."
