lYclcome to a Notable Recruit to
the People's Cause. y
. The, sjuN welcomes President Wn
. kon's converplon to recognition of tho
imperative need of doing something
' rfwictlcal!e to rescue tho Inhabitants
of the United States from tho grip of
the tirrlflc cost of living.
, For weeks The Sun has been striv
ing without assistance from tnb Ex
ecutive1 Department of tho Govern
ment to stir the officials to act for the
relief of the, suffering public For
months those authorities watched the
appalling and unchecked rise In tho
prices of tho necessaries of life with
out doing one single thing for tho
lBllef of tho population.
In vain tho people called for help.
In vain they sought for action. Bu
reaucracy, high salaried, well housed,
Abundantly. fed, paid no heed to their
appeals. But now the President him
Keif has heard the cry and has given
lib promise that one man at leapt In
tho Executive Department shall use ail
tho power' and authority of his oftlco
to save the country from the dangers
which beset lt..The people and The
Sun. have won a notable recruit to
their cause.
Whatever Ih'e President doesithat
is Impartial and wise nnd practicable
to curb the greedy men and organiza
tions will have The Sun's loyal sup
port, and Tnn 5un will rejolco sin
cerely If a day comes when It can say
to its readers that to President Wil
son they owe their heartfelt thanks
for the reduction of tho burdens
which now oppress them.
Let him begin with wheat.
England to Cede Cyprus to Greece.
Tho Island of Cyprus, thev third
largest body of land in' the Mediter
ranean Sea, after having been passed
around amftlfg the nations from the
earliest historical times to the pres
ent Is apparently at last to find a
permanency of ownership. A des
patch" from London says that the
British Parliament Is seriously con
sidering the cession of the Island to
Greece and that a delegation from
Athens is in England for the purpose
of completing the negotiations.
, Cyprus has belonged to Persia and
Egypt; It was annexed by Alexandeb
tho Great to Greece; It has been sub
ject to the rule of the Roman, Byzan
tine, Turkish and BrltisB empires. As
Cyprus had known most of the civil
izations of antiquity It became a
fruitful field for explorations and ex
cavations. Tho most successful of
this work was carried on by General
Louis P. Cesnoli whllo he was Amer
ican Consul at NIcosea, the capital of
the Island. Ills collection, which is
the largest nnd most complete of Cy
priote antiquities in the world,- Is now
In tho Metropolitan Mutjcnm. Tho
heated controversy regarding tho res
toratlon of 6omc of these pieces
uwakened among Now Torkers of two
generations ago an unusual Interest In
this island.
Despite Its many changes In owner
ship Cyprus seems to have gono calmly
on attending to Its own business.
There are almost 300,000 peoplo on
the Island ; 'most of them are engaged
In agriculture, forestry and sponge
nsmng. T&ero are somo tourists, who
in tho season furnish a small revenue.
und archaeologists who continue to dig
among the rains of ancient tombs
and temples. As there are representa
tives of all tho, Levantine people 6n
the Island Cyprus might have serious
racial difficulties had it not early
taken means to forestall trouble., Most
of tho men who fill certain property
qualifications have the right of, suf
frage; there are native courts for
Moslem and Christian and there are
schools for Mohammedans, Armen
ians, Maronltes and Greek Christians,
As a result Cyprus has been one of
the few largo Near Eastern Islands
free from Internal strife.
Under a convention with tho Sul
tan of Turkey Cyprus was adminis
tered by Great Britain from 1878 to
5014. On the outbreak of the war
with Turkey It .was annexed to the
British Empire. In tho bast 3reat
Britain considered the Island of great
Btrntcgic .importance to the protec
tion of her Interests in the enstern
Mediterranean and to the security
of tho Sues Canal. The wnrr how-

Marooned In Honolulu.
Mr. Kalaniaraole, Delegate from
Hawaii In the House of Representa
tives, could get no accommodations
on passenger ship or freighter when
he wanted to sail from Honolulu In
response tot the President's call of an
extra session of Congress. A friend
from the mainland cruising In the
South Sea In a sailing yacht heard
of the Delegate's unhappy state, and,
offorlng him a lounge In tho chart
room, brought him to San Francisco.
Fortunate was this timely lift over
the deep blue sea, for otherwise We
might never have heard ttyo fine talcs
Mr.-Kaxanianaole told tho House
about Hawallans marooned.
It appears that all the large pas
senger ships serving Hawaii went
away from there to carry troops
across the Atlantic and the few small
foreign ships still serving the islands
wcro unable to book a tenth of the
applicants for passage between Hono
lulu and San Francisco. But even
this rrifcagre service Is threatened by
the tapo of the war ttmo permission
for foreign ships to engage in const
wise traffic na that between the Islands
and the mainland Is considered.
Mr. Kalanian aole nrged the Houw
to extend the exemption to foreign
ships until American ah I pa returned to
tbelr old loves, ne revealed that of
late tho deslro of travellers to voyage
between Honolulu and Safr Franclwo
had been so great and the accommoda

freighters, not licensed to carry pas
sengers had become numerous end

Passing of the Weather Vane.
Tho over so amateur meteorologist,
whetherho lives In the town or coun

the whirling nrrow has been omitted
from tho furnishings of so many flag

upon the amateur meteorologist In

A Book 'About the Splitting of a
Yankee Fortune.
In his foreword to ."Tho Howland
nelrs" Mr. William M. Emebt, gene
alogist for the trustees of tho Sylvia
Ann Howland estate, ventures his be
lief "that this Is the only Instance In
tills country where nn extensive gene
alogical record has found Its ralson
d'etre In the distribution of a for
tune." Perhaps Miss Rowland had
thought of thtb particular result when
In 1803, two years before her death.,
she Made a will providing that about
half of her estate of $2,025,000 tho
Quakeress was the wealthiest resident
of New Bedford, Mass. should be
distributed nftcr tho death -of her
niece, Hetty Howland RonmsoN,
among the lineal descendants of her
grandfather, Gideon Howlano.
The task of tho trustees and their
genealogist In this distribution-, which
was to be mado "according to the
right of representation," Is better ap
preciated when It is recalled that
Gideon Howland, who was- born In
1734, was married at 10 nnd became
tho father of thirteen children, twelve
of whom married and had children,
and that It was not until 1010, when'
Mrs. Hetty II. It. Green died, that
tbe roundup of Gideon's-descendants
began. The years that had passed be
tween Gideon Howland'b marriage
and Mrs. Green's death wero' 103;
and those New Englandcrs havo been
a prolific people. A long lived peoplo
too, for of the 439.persons who shared
Miss Rowland's bequ6st 200 were
alive when she died nearly fifty-four
years ago. That they have been n
cupablo peoplo Is evident Hetty
Howland "Robinson became, ns Mrs.
Gbeen, tho Tichest womnn -"In the
world ;' nnd-Mr. Emery has counted
among Gideon's descendants "'at least
two members of Congress, the wife of
a Governor of Massachusetts, several
members of the Legislature 'and two
Mayors of Now Bedford." 'Then there
aro whaling captains, tho founder of
New Bedford's cotton industry, mem
bers of all tbe professions nnd cham
pion tennis players. '
What a work It was to learn ex
actly who and where were tho heirs I
They were scattered, over tblB coun
try, and soiue were In England, France
and the. Hawallnn Islands. Somo bad
never heard of Gideon Howland. 01
course there was tho" expected num

rest their expectations on persons

been) descendants of the Mayflower

tune In 1021, or In the Ann, In, 1023.
HJs brother John was d Mayflower
Pilgrim. "A wave of genealogical re
search swept" ovec. New, Bedford.
Trustee and genealogist' wero obliged
to bold numerous telephone or per
sonal Interviews with claimants and
attorneys, from within and without
the city, at all hours of tho day or
night" Tho town library was be
sieged for copies ofan old Howland
genealogical book. Photographs In
tended to show resemblance to old
Gideon came from as far off as Chile.
The division of the estate according
to right of representation waa of ,
course a .matter? of fine, maihematlcs.
Tha largest fraction for any ono heir
was ono-fdrty-nrth of tho cstato:
'There, were fifty-four dlffarent
fractions, and to the layman they

how sho fed her terrier Dewey on
rice pudding nnd rare beefsteak. Her
cow chased an Englishman across a
pasture and he said to Mrs. Gbeen:
"Madam, do you. know who I am?
I'm the Honorable Vivian WeaTLKion

11ns nnd said: "Go tell that to the
COW." When she was asked .why" she
took out a license to carry a pistol
sho replied : "Mostly to protect myself

Miss Svlvia Ann Howland made,
one grcnt mistake In her will. She
should havo left at least a third of

I The late George Shea. Chief Justice
of the Marina (now the City) Court, told
Appleton Morgan and many others that
Poo uised to frequent Sandy Walsh's
beer cellar tn Ann
street, and that his.

also used to meet Poe thero. And that
Poe und his companions in that 'cellar,
lino by line and stnnxa by Rtansa, com
pelled "The naven." And that Mr. John
Augustus Sheo carried the completed
p'oem to Mr. Colton nnd this story is
also alluded to In Woodberry's "Life of
Poe" without the obvious comment as
to its improbability, Vol. II., page 114
(note). Now would It havo been pos
sible that "Poe at Sandy Walsh's place
In Ann street" and "Poe as Mr. Curtls's
roommate in the Mrs. Foster boarding
house ltj Ann street' may havesomehqw
got themselves mixed up in Mr. Curtls's
nebulous memory?
Surely the reminiscences of Pee's
"roommato and companion" would 'be n
great literary find. And the entire Cur

THEORY AND PRACTICE.
Laboratory Hesearch That Sid Not
Work Q(jjt With Ivy Poisoning.
From tA New York Medical Journal.
The variance which often exists be
tween theory and practice In medicine
le admirably exemplified In tjle. caso of
the suggestions made by laboratory
workers for the. treatment of ivy poi
soning and the actual results obtained
w u" ot ln" mnns 01 cure BU&
sted.
A few years ago the chemists told us
very coiindently that by applying! alco
hol liberally to the affected part tha
poison would be promptly dissolved and
removed. Those who have tried this
formulahave usually been disappointed
In the results obtained.
Quite recently a distinguished chem
Isr anneArfri before a ratherlnar of nhval-
clans and with the utmost confidence
announced that the cure of Ivy poison
consisted tn the application of a satu
rated solution of potassium permanga
nate to the affected part. Much to his
disgust, a clinician ,of undoubted abil
ity remarked that he had tried the
treatment thoroughly in three cases
without any better results than be had
had from the older methods.
Recent careful study of the matter
seems to show we hope our researchers
aro not again premature that the toxin
from tha ivy la never volatile and that
the skin cannot be affected at a distance
from the vine, aa has been asserted,
This being the? case, the prevention will
be easy enough, provided the person will
l'pform himself as to the appearance and
'hahltat of the plant.

A Denial That rfoflteerlag Is Gcntrai
Among Dealers.
To tub Editor" or Tit a Bun Btr: In
a table printed In Tn, Sun showma;
"hat It costs to fit out a man In 11,"
n pair at shoes was entered as costing
IK, against 19.50 In 1914. This state
ment la unfair.
In what we" consider the beat stores
In Boston this summer men's shoes of
high quality have been retailing at from
(10 to (13 a pair, and .1 personally pur
chased a pair of shoes mads la Newark
by ono of tha highest grade manufac
turers for 111, which to my mlndwaa
a perfectly fair and legitimate price un
der existing conditions.
From Uie raw material to the con
sumer there ara probably from sixty to
seventy-five different naterlals and labor
operations In tho construction of a shoe.
Labor In many factories is thro Or
four times whit It cost in 1914, and
1 upper Ieatherrmalnly owlnp; to bad con
dltlons In Russia and other -foreign eoun-
tries, has advanced to fully three times
what it was Ova' years ago. Bole leather
has also doubled In value, and so. It la
ail aionr Uia line. In materials wmcn go
to make up the shoe,
'' The magnifying of the Indiscreet ac
tion of a certain few dealers in shoes,
giving the Impression that it' is tho, gen
eral rule' among dealers, has caused the
most trouble. Taking the average ot
prices charged by shoe retailers
throughout the country I believe that th.e
reports of profiteering will be found un
fair and unjust The New York depart
ment stores, the New York high grade
shoe stores, and In fact all of the larger
handlers ot shoes to consumers through
out tho country have, according to my
best knowledgo and belief, pursued a fair
and reasonablo course. '
No other large Industry probably has
the ramifications and tho vast amount
of detail that surround the shoe and
leather business, and wjth so many ma
terials entering into the cost of a shoe,
coupled with the fact of the great
scarcity of materials, fair minded people
will at once realise that tha consumer
has not been unfairly treated.

McVRA W'S METHODS.
A Fan Who Does Not Regard ITIm as
a Great Baseball General.
To Tiinj Editor orTHB Sun Sir: I
was much interested in the fulsome trib
ute to John McGraw coming from the
pen ot Mr. Doscher and appearing In
The Bun. This letter would bo amus
ing were it not for the fact that the
reputation of the National League and
In n
Ms
a rrieaaure of baseball Itself Is suffer-
aeriously from the methods of Ma-
Graw and the widespread conviction
that the administration of the National
League is afraid to take the steps that
Liustlce demands with reference to Mc
Graw.
In support of Mr. Doschers claim
that McGraw is avbaseball general par
excellence let him explain McQ raw's fail
ure in the world's championship' battles
of 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1917 and his
defeat In the Irtterleague series with
Boston tn 1909.
With reference to Mr. Doscher's trib
ute to thpse traits tn McGraw's charac
ter which are uniquely described as
"fairness and sense of honor" let ua ask
him to, explain McGraw's difference with
the" newspaper writers' fraternity In New
York n few years ago ; his eagerness to
take Toney in the face of his experience
vi 1th tha courts last ycarr his taking
up with Chase.
As a physical director I' am naturally
Interested in the popularity ot sports,
but there Is no question that Med raw
rtnd his crowd ere unpopular' because
there Is a widespread conviction that
he may do anything ha pleases In, the
National League with Impunity, and he
fplla so miserably In every world's se
rleu, where merit alone counts.

FOR ALE, A CATHEDRAL.
Results of a Trial of tbe Single Tax
System In Vancouver.
To the Enrxon or The Sun Sir: At
St. Agnes Church on Sunday the Rev.
D. A. McLean, representing the Catholic
Bishop of Victoria, Vancouver Island,
made with the approval of Archbishop
ILaye.1 an appeal to the congregation for
help to save the Cathedral of Victoria,
which Is to bo sold at auction by tho
city authorities because It. Is unable to
pay the heavy tax levied on Its site
under a form .of 'the single tax system
In operation there.
According to Dr. McLean tho church
authorities are told that If the business
of running a church does not pay suffi
ciently well to enable them to pay the
taxea (ovled the churches' had .better get
out and let some other business in that
will enable them to meet the taxes. - It
seems that this form of land taxation
has not worked so well, even with the
annual tax sale where hundreds of
homes have been sacrificed.
Tho ideaKxf the dfeamer seems to
have bjen shattered on the shores of
actual experimentations At present the
city and provincial authorities are en
deavoring to And a system of taxation
which will be more equltabl- and work
able. M. A. Donald.

With slendfr, silken cross strapped shoes

And never married -slrico her fancy chose
To place love In so exquisite a shrine

Shut fast from any stir of bustling ways;
Guarding her household gods with dainty

A lovely thtrir untouched by moth, or rust,
A bud, too sheltered In her dim old room
To know tho sun or rsln or even bloom.
