Stelaer. To the Editor of The Courant: P.eaders of "The Courant" read the ether day the news of the'death of Dr. Bernard Christian Steiner, the head for over a generation of the Enoch Fratt Public Library of Baltimore, and one of the choice scholars of that state and the nation. Dr. Steiner was well known ia Hartford and all over Connecticut, for he had been a student of Connecticut history for many years, and was connected with this state both by birth and by association.

I knew him for many years and so did many others In this utate who deeply regret his death at 58 years of age. Born in Guilford, the son of Dr. Lewis H. Steiner of Baltimore and 'the grandson of Hon. Ralph Dunning Smith, who was not only tihe town's outstanding and most prominent lawyer for many years, but also a ripe scholar and historian.

Dr. steiner was a brother of Dr. Walter R. Steiner the eminent physician tf this city, and he frequently visited here, where he was looked upon es one of the most accomplished scholars of his generation. Dr.

Steiner was honored by many colleges and universities who conferred on him their choicest degrees. During his lifetime he wrote many books of a serious nature, but to Connecticut people Jie will be best remembered by the vorumes hi wrote concerning the state which gave him birth. One of the first books he wrote many years ago was (his "History of Education in Connecticut." 4 I2SL llffW 1 IRIS c. jlTH THE HE LURE OF FABULOUS WEALTH IN THE COLO FIELDS ATTRACTED SO MANY IMMIGRANTS TO CALIFORNIA THAT A YEAR AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF COLD.

The WoiJd Court wins.

What as jeally a Ust vote on the question of the entrance of the United States Into the World Court was taken vesterday in the Senate at Washington, when sixty-eight senators voted for clotuie and twenty-six against the proposition to restrict debate on the World Court resolution, therefore, having the two-thirds vote necessary to adoption. While two senators were absent, their votes could not have affected the result, a the affirmative vote on the question of cloture was four more than two-thirds of the entire Senate membership, ninety-six. It is e.v Vected that little lime will sow be wasted in further talk on the resolution of adherence to the World Court, which will be passed this week, today, or tomorrow. The votes for cloture were cast fcy thirty-seven republicans and thirty-one democrats, while the opposition included eighteen republicans, seven democrats and one farmer laborite. Connecticut's two venators voted for cloture, as did ail New England senators except Fer-nald of Maine, Moses of New Uamp.

shire and Dale of Vermont Jt has been figured by supporters of the World Court resolution that it will have comfortable margin over the necessary sixty-four votes am. the clctura vote makes its passage certain, because the negative vote undoubtedly included some suppor ters of World Court adherence who voted as they did because they didn't like the idea of a gag rule. Again, cloture may have suffered on account of the feelings of some senators, who don't care very much for the Vice-president and who realized that they were giving htm a chance for a hearty laugh. In view of what he said about the Senate rules in his opening address last March. There ill be votes to spare for the World Court resolution.

LOOKING AHEAD. 'Dwnte, who pictured hell about as vividly r.s human imagination can achieve, put number of the famous characters of history in that unpleasant place, and now the deposed Hshop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, William Montgomery Brown, if reports are correct, breaks his never very long silence by doing In effect the same thing. In both cases those great men thus singled out as residents down below have no way of affirming, or denying, the truth of the accusation. There is little doubt as to what sort of a place Dante thought hell to be like, but the x-bishop is at least not consigning his candidates to anything like such cycles as those seen in the poetic vision ot the Italian. He to escape any charges of libel or defamation of that he does not believe either In Heaven or hell, ts they (the other Episcopal bishops) teach it He added that, as for himself, he did not care, to which place he went, as he had friends In both.

Enamored, perhaps by the possibilities, and, apparently, more Interested over the prospect that he would go fceiow than above. Mr. Brown at once outlined a tentative program to be presented following his arrival. He said that tf he did go below, just because he decided to use his brains, he was going to have a fine time. He plans to lead a revolution, and would first get In-gersoll, Paine, Washington and Jefferson, and all the college professors and editors who have gone before Him, and together they would tart something.

He was even more specific. He said: "We will put the i ires out and start the trees growing jnd mako a. new place of It." Perhaps. We shall not argue the point, but we cannot help wondering If some of those one-time Important people, hearing by chance of possibility, may not protest hat It Is bardiy fair, st least after f'i-o's deinite, that there should be new terror to deuth.

Time) Yesterday. 'TIMES" ENDORSES "COt'RANT." The board of relief of Hartford has completed its annual sessions, having had only nineteen appeals from the valuations fixed by the board of assessors, this being, on the authority of the "Hartford Times," "the smallest number on record for any ine yeaT." The "Times" says further: "The fact that there are over 29,000 property lists would eeem to Indicate that the work of the board of assessors leaves little to complain about." We agree with the "Times" In Its agreement with "The Courant." Last spring, when the board of assessors consisted of tw democrats and one republicac, all of whom were candidates for re-election, the "Times" urged the voters to keep that board In office, on the ground that it had done its work well. "'The Courant" Insisted that a board of assessors consisting of two republicans and one democrat could do as satisfactory work as a board ot two democrats and one 'republican. If the voters took the advice of either newspaper, they took the advice of "The Courant," as the new board chosen was made up of two. republicans end one democrat, which the "Times" now admits has done mighty well.

Thanks for coming to our view ot it. The president of the National Hair Dressers Association announces a donation of $5,000 toward establishment of a college for research into tho cause of baldness. What has John Itodcmtyer, founder of the Baldhcad Club ot America to say about that? "Hartford Times." Mr. Rooemeyer gave expression to his great grief In yesterday's "'Courant." Governor "Al" Smith will become a banker, when he retires as chief executive of the Empire State. That will settle any question ot his candidacy for the democratic nomination for President, for, of course, the demooratlo party would not be guilty of selecting a financier for ft standard bearer.

John L. Lewis asked for a new coal conference. It was about time, as some of the newspapers were beginning to forget him, one calling him "John E. Lewis" and another "John J. Lewis." If you stay out of the limelight a week, or two, the liniellsht forgets that you were ever in It.

And now they say that Arthur De Courcey Bower, who recently died lu London, did not break the bank at Monte Carlo, but was just advertising the celebrated gambling resort Anyway, it was very nice to let him keep his reputation as a bank breaker while ho lived. We read that a moving picture actres3 has been injured "as the result of a toboggan crash at a mountain resort which knocked her unconscious." The mountain resort has not been arrested. The ex-kalser ot Germany will have a birthday party today. Sorry we got the news too late to send him something nice, but we can't get It to Holland in time. Fashion decrees that the bride of 1926 will wear satin.

When the dread day comes that the Barton bill is passed and signed and the colonels of the governor's staffs belong- with the buffalo and the behemoth, In the realm of departed marvels of nature, many will rise up to tell of their mighty Heeds. The poets will recount how some were suave and some were 1U at ease, how some were laconic and some were garrulous, how some were constant in their attendance and military In their mien, white others loved the title more than the duties and slouched with a vile civilian air. And many other "gallant things wMl said of them that now are written only on th social registers and In the retentive memories of their admirers.

But the judgment of posterity will not be shaped by bard or by minstrel, by historian or by eulogist. That Judgment has been anticipated, as if through inspiration, by the colored maid in the family of one of the colonels. She had brushed the spotless uniform coats and had folded up the trousers that showed not the slta-htsst sign of oven casual contact with- the cavalry saddle. They were being put aay for good and ail. for the four years of glory were ended and a new governor had taken office and had named new colonels to help other tailors.

It aeemcd very strange and very sad to the maid that garments so good and so glided should be placed in the trunk with grandfather's Confederate gray jacket and mother's wedding dress, and che was puzzled to know how one with so valiant a title could have escaped the hrd usage of campaigning. At last, as the grieving colonel etood by the grave of his splendor, the truth broke on her. She looked up and Inquired: "Vou ain' bin in so many battles, has you, cun'l?" In that question posterity spoke. Once Was Eouk. (Boston- Transcript.) "Going to town?" inquired western farmer.

"Tc." said the neighbor. "Will you Inquire for my mail?" "No." "Rather ttnnelghborly of you. I must any," commented a friend. "Can't help that." was the reply. "The last time I asked for his mail I hd to lug a gdndstone out tn his place." PROHIBITION'S HARD ROAD.

Prohibition is traveling a hard toad, such authorities as District Attorney Buckner of New York and General Andrews, federal enforcement head, told a ministers' meeting in New York yesterday. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League and that organization got some hoc shot from the district attorney, whjo declared that the league's "hired men" at Washington were afraid to tell the members the truth about the enormous cosjt of "really enforcing prohibition." General Andrews could have given some information on this point, as will be easily recalled, one of his enforcement agents spent the modest sum ot $1,000 to get evidence of liuuor law violation at a Washington hotel, his 1 expensive efforts resulting arrests and two acquittals, a net gain of nothing for J1.0C0. The use cf this large sura of money brought a warning from Ccnoral Audrev.s against such extravagance. District Attorney Buckner aaid that prohibition is not being sub stantially enforced and that It will not be. substantially enforced and General Andrews voted the same way, declaring that there has- been a gradual breakdown in the morale of prohibition agents and the coast guard, owing to the failure of tho courts to function properly.

Buckner to'd the clergymen that they must turn to the governments of tho several states for enforcement and asserted that, it there Is to be fed eral prohibition, there must bo federal polled courts and grand jury trials lot" liquor offenders must be abolished. Andrews said that the members of the coast guard were getting tired of arresting the same violators and seising the same boats time after time. To sum up, it could not be truthfully said that "an enjoyable time was had by all" at the ministers' meeting under the auspices of that unofficia. bTanch of the federal gov-crnmsnt, the Anti-Saloon League. AMATECR EXHIBITIONS.

The news that a Madrid paper, the "Vida, Medica' recently held an exhibition ot art works by physicians is Interesting not entirely bo-cause of the exhibition alone, but because it emphasizes possibilities along similar lines that are without value. In certain ficldj there has long been a feeling on the part of S'jine persons that exhibitions, so to speak, might be made by those who were not by training and experience considered experts tn those particular fields. Possibly nowhere has this been more evident than in connection with the drama, und on every hand see. tho efforts or those who modestly call themselves amateurs a title seldom to 'bo challenged impersonating stage characters, as well as devoting no little time to improving the the-suer and informing others as to what is good and what is not good on the stage. The holding ot an exhibition of paintings from the brushes of phy sicians seems but to be another phase cf the same thing, and, tf thU so, there s- no real reason why the amateur performances should not be extended into many fields of artistic effort.

It is well known, for Instance, that any one who has never tried it can edit and publish a newspaper better than those men an.1 women who have devoted their lives dually to doing it. Writh til thl other weeks that are cow being rpoclalized each year, why shoult not the newspapers fall, in with an pniateur week and have at least seven Issues of perfect journalism out of each 365? During that pe riod of relief from their accustomed duties the newspaper men might be fcble to give exhibitions, themselves In various lines in which they were more or less unprofessionally Interested. Editorial writers, for in stance, wljo had rather regrettel that they had not taken up niodlclne or surgery, could offer their services along these lines to those in peed of operations or medical treatment. Reporters, often critical ot modern architecture, might give some practical demonstrations erecting a few buildings of one kind, or another. The linotype men.

wit a a flair for singing, could appear in cpera. and those who thought la on intsresting line of work might go Into the courts and take ovir important cases, or adviss clients r.s to what they could do and not get into trouble with the authorities. The possibilities are almost limit less, and about the only thing that could be aid against them is that It Is not unlikely that tow-minded persons would not be above using the opportunities to pay up old scores. Thus the man who had been forced to sea a number tf his busi ness and social friends give a perfor mance known as theatrical might drag them to an exhibition of his own canvases which he hud produced without any of the restrictions and Inhibitions that knowing tho slightest thing about painting might have Imposed. Or an even basr creature, after a hideous evening, chained more or less like the galley THE POLE GOES BACK.

The Pole is once more Peary'p, instead of being held jointly by Peary and Cook, as the, report of tho remarks of the discoverer of the South Pole made at Fort Worth, on Saturday indicated. Captain Roahl Amundsen has issued a denial ot the statement that he said that "Doc" Cook's claim to having discovered It was as good as Peary's. It might not be a bad idea for Amundsen to slick to his own pole and avoid misunderstandings. The South Pole may be enough for one man to handle. ERRING DEFINITIONS, For more than a decade the Engliih public has been amused by the quality of answers found in the examination papers which English schoolboys 'submit to their inquisitors.

The answers stimulate the superiority complex to the readers and. In some cases, appeal to one's sense ot humor. Let usthas-ten to say that the English possess such a sensr, although most of them are able lo keep it under control. A list has recently been published which seems slightly above the average, after discarding at least one "howler" that appears as a sort of hardy perennial. Perhaps the best in tho lot came from a lad who was asked to name one of Shakespeare's plays and whose answer was "Outlet." One youth wrote that Is composed of two gins oxygln and hydrogln.

Oxygin is pure gin, hy-drogin Is gin and water." Another lad, being asked to name the first book tn the Bible, wrote "Gulnessis." Tho absence of an apostrophe saved him from complete disgrace. One young victim ot the third degree wrote that "Give committed suicide three times." while another asserttfA that 'Oliver Twist' had a very good effect, for the people saw the worUhouses In a very different limelight." A student, asked to give the degrees ot comparison of "bad." wrote: "Bad, very sick, a which was not far from right. An examination paper contained the assertion that "water may be ma-le hard by freezing it, and the hardness removed by boiling It;" still another defined a circle as a "round straight line with a hole in the middle." Instruments used in an orchestra were named as "Viles, cellars, trumpets, hornets, baboons, old boys and bubble vases." Their disguise is. easily penetrated. We do not despair of these young Englishmen, especially when we think of the volume of misinformation which a quia of the students In the Knoxvlllc, High School disclosed not long ago, and the blame for such ignorance as may be exhibited in this list of examination papers may well be shared by the instructors.

In the Knoxvllle case there was no joint responsibility. A VAIN HOPE. A man who represents one of the various farmers' organizations now checking up Congress has suggested to the HouKe committee on agricultural affairs that It call before it scientists and others who are experimenting with weather forecasting, especially that ot the long range type, and try to find out frotn them what eort of weather may reasonably be expected during the growing season ot this year. We find ourselves strangely interested in this mattor and we trust that the committee will Introduce the appropriate resolution. Ot course, it any results worth while are to come from the resolution, it should be, a joint one.

In this' event the year should be left blank until the resolution has passed both Houses, when that event has taken place we should suppose it might be necessary for a conference committee to changj the date to 1927, or 1928. Of course the farmers are interested been use one type of weather may result in a surplus of wheat, while another may ruin the farmers in the corn belt by producing too great a tri or, on the other hand, it may send the price of meat soar ing by creating a shortage in corn. Still, to mention a third possibility, a greu drought throughout the Mississippi valley might create a shortage in both corn and wheat which would force the peoples of Europe said Asia to tighten their belts. It Is possible that not even Congress tan solve this problem; If It could, it seems unlikely that action could be obtained In time for use vvith refovence to any summer with-' In the range ot the longest ot long range meteorologists. Dr.

Herbert J. Browne, to take a conspicuous example, has based a theory upon a continued deficiency in the Solar constant and his theory stands or falls according to the temperature of the rummer of this year. That seems absolutely logical, but, If the coming summer is to be cold, the winter preceding it might be assumed to hint of tho change and the winter to date in this vicinity Has declined to perform.

The President doubtless kept in close touch with the conference between Secretarv lor. dine and Representative Dickinson tn regard to farm exnorta nn much to do with shaping the plan of federal aid on which they agreed. He won confidence in his sincere desire to help the farmer, but did not depart from the economic principles to which he announced hia devotion In his Chicago speech.

He nas found a plsn on whlcn he and tne rarm bloc leaders aareo nt the threatened storm In the West will be no more than a sauall. Being assured of. the nracrlcal help provided by the Jardine-Dick- inson plan, the reasonable element among the farmers, which is the largo mnjorlty, will not swerve from that support which they gave the President In 19.24 but will be tied the more firmly to him by the proof he gives of his understanding of the problem and Ws sincere desire to help. If he had thought only of political advantage, he might have fallen in with the federal export, price-fixing scheme, but he would not depart from sound economy ice to mollify those farm leaders who champion that scheme.

Instigators and exploiters of a farmers' revolt have endeavored to arouse them aitainst the tariff wit'J the exploded fallacy tint it makes the fanner buy iu a protected market but sell in a tree-trade market but the President spoiled that kind of ammunition by snowing In his Chicago speech that it simply Is not-true. On tho contrary. the farmer buys at free-trade prices to the extent tt the tariff can add only an insignificant sum to fcis expenses, but he Is so well protected that about half our customs revenue is collected on farm products. i Political exploiters of agricultural discontent have been short-sighted In basing their appeal to the West on conditions so transitory that thev passed away before the dav came harvest the votes at stike. While the cry for government exporting was still loud In 1924.

the price of wheat and corn rose so hish that the emergency disappeared and with it mot of the discontent to which it gave rise.

The Lone Handful.

It is no credit to the United States Senate rule that this handful of irreconcilable ia able to keep the Senate from coming to a vote on this important subject. It is hard to see, either, how Senator Borah can continue to be useful as chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations when he is so out of une with trn foreign policies of the administration. But he continues serenely on, blocking the Cdolidge will on the World Court blocking the majority will of the Senate, preventing the republican party from carrying on its platform promise, holding up -the business of the Senate, battling against the public will.

For who doubts that, if a popular referendum vote were token today on the subject of United States adherence to the World, Court that the public Sentiment would be disclosed as overwhelmingly in favor of such action? It Is -easy to discover that this is true. All sorts of societies, organizations, meetings, women's clubs, churches and lodges are on record as favoring the World Court. The arguments both for and agairat It are old and moss-grown. Nothing has been left unsaid. In order to be agnlnst It you must believe that Coolidge, Harding, and all the other -prominent Americans In favor of it are either befuddled or are octually anxious to get the United States into something which is inimical to Its best interests, which Is manifestly an absurdity, on Its face.

It Is high time Borah ceased hM obstructionist tactics. And he houU most certainly be ousted from his position as head of the great Senate committee on foreign relations. Monday and Newspapers. (New York Herald Tribune.) When Montaigne wrote "there never were in the world two opinions alike, no 'more titan two hairs, or two grain: the most universal quality is diversity." he covered Noah Webster Cooper, who has come from Nashville to tell' us we are bound for hell via Sunday railway travel and Sunday newspapers. Mr.

Cooper is unquestionably a devout and sincere man who feels he has a miesion to perform, end as such he deserves respect. we disagree with him It does not follow that we are prepared to place any obstacles in hi way. So Ion as ho gets a kick out of his crusade the world is big and broaJ. enough to tolerate It. Mr.

Coopor Is hardly a paragon of tolerance, as broad-minded, for Instance, a Bishop Manning, who hR given his support to Sunday sports, but he has givon us something to think about. "No Sunday newspaper" ia part of hi slogan. He would have us crose down all newspaper plants on the Sabbath. Does Mr. Cooper refrain from cruaadlng on Sunday? Does he sit in his home with the shades drawn? Does, he serve bis own Sunday meal or docs he fast? he breakfasts, what would be his feelings If the milkman failed to deliver tTfh cream for his Sunday coffee? To any logical mind the queries wilU roll tin Indefinitely.

Tho vsry Jact that Mr. Cooper came to New Fork, as cosmopolitan a city there is in the world, shows that he is a valiant crusader. I Jan. 129. Ther- Ba- Pro mom.
