Although the fact Is genpmlly known, when Columbus discovered America many years ago, he found a vast wildernese of hills and trees stretching farther than the eye could reach. It was Mr. Board driving his horae and buggy through the country lanes In 1880, who first noted this deplorable waste of space. "What good Is scenery." he asked.

1m dismissing the unlamented Special Service Division, the new Police Commissioner started the ball rolling for an administration that appears bent on sweeping out the ideas of the preceding regime. Mr. Walker himself hopes next to clap new rules on to the structure of the Board of Estimate. He would eliminate the wrangles that the Hylan era so loved to furnish to the public. There will be other reforms; for instance, a drive to scale some salaries upward appears to be imminent.

This, then, is a reform administration. it So was Hylan's. Its principal talk-ing poiit, for eight long and years, was the iniquitous course- of the Mayoralty that had preceded it, a point to which it soon eiided the shining record of Hylan and Tammany in disorganizing the principal reorganizations of 1913-18. And in those ante-Hylan years the city had been presided over by a Jiayot who similarly knocked down the things previous Mayors had built up, and one of whose favorite promises was to "tear things wide open." So it has gone, all along the line successive City Hall dynasties. Each new Mayor has felt within him the stirring urge to insist that the one before him was mistaken about most things.

Under Walker there is the curious spectacle of all the Hylan commissioners who have been held over and all tha Hylan Board col uld stock in landowning companies, least in those owning land in cer tain districts. The law provides that such stock must be disposed of by the foreigner within a certain period and that transfer or sale must be made to Mexican citizens. Prior to the recognition of the present Mexican government by the United States mixed commission met (ln Jhe Mexican "capital from May to 1923. which, among other things, reached an agreement to the effect that the anti-alien de crees would not be enforced against oil properties upon which positive act of development had been per formed. This written and certified Understanding was taken for a guar- ntee that American and other bona ids oil producers in Mexico would ot be molested Leadership Should Follow the Will of the People.

Commenting the other day on "State politics and the New Year," the "Herald-Tribune" had this to say among other thingsf "If the Republican party Is to re-Rain Its prestige In the it must formulate and put through a legislative programme that will appeal to the people. Interest for the next few months will be centred almost as much upon the work of the reconstruction commission as on thut of the Senate and Assembly. Fortunately, this commission is headed by Mr. Hughes, who has the confidence both of Democrats and Republicans. But unless 11 r.

Hughes Is wtlllnt to give his counsel and advice to the leaders of the Legislature on matters outside of reorganization of bureaus and departments there will be pressing need of leadership, and no othei leader of the requisite calibre is in sight." Something beside the advice ot Mr. Hughes is needed if the "party is to regain its prestige in this State." And what is needed most of all is that the leaders should follow the will of the party voters and not seek to set up a leadership which not only antagonizes the rank and file of the party's enrolled voters but so falls foul of the people's wishes generally that defeat after defeat steadily meets it at the polls. The trouble may be traced to the State election of 1920. In that year began in the State the steady setting aside of the wishes of enrolled Republicans and the assumption of leaders like Gov ernor Miller, who resigned from the Court of Appeals bench to take a retainer from Crucible Steel, that they knew better than the en rolled voters and the people generally what was best for the public interest. Governor Miller said so in so many words after the crushing defeat of the party in 1921.

In the statement containing that assertion Mr. Miller said he knew the things he had "put over" in the Legisla ture by' what the Citizens Union, mostly his strong supporter, called his automatic, ball-bearing legislative would result in the party's defeat at the first election in which they were an issue, but that the second election would amply vin-dicate the wisdom of himself and his associates. Two of the things Miller "put over" were very objectionable. The first was the repeal of the clauses in the direct primary law which permitted the nomination of candidates for State-wide offices and members of the higher judiciary directly by the enrolled voters of the party, and the Second was the taking away from the cities of the State of the control of their own public utilities and handing it over to two State commissions appointed by the Governor at high salaries, for long terms and so surrounded with protective legislation as to ren der their removal almost impossi ble. That was the beginning of a series of Republican defeats.

The measure of home rule granted since to the cities disposes, to a large extent, of the public utility question, although the Miller State commis sions are still in office. But the direct primary restoration remains yet to be made. Who asked for the amendment of the direct primary as to State-wide offices and the nomination of the members of the higher judiciary? Was It the Republican masses de manded this change should be made Oh, no! On the contrary, they were so vigorously opposed to it that In Kings County, which casts the largest vote of any Republican county in the State, Governor Miller was actually defeated in the pri mary. In the election following, his defeat in the county was overwhelm ing, although Harding carried It by a great majority. Mr.

Miller ran more than 000 votes behind his ticket The, interests which asked for the return to the convention or boss system in the matter of nominating" State ticket and the members of the. higher judiciary were the same interests for which the State commis. sions to control public utilities were appointed. Now, who asks for the restoration of the direct primary law 7 For one, ihe Republican General Committee of Kings County, repre senting Its enrolled Republican voters, asked. for it unanimously.

Let the Legislature begin by promptly repealing the law emasculating i uirect notice by the legislative lead-era that the grip of the monopolistic corporations has been ca off and the guidance in leadership of the enrolled voters of the party fully accepted Incidentally Mr. "Hughes ts a strong direct, primary man. j- A Farmer-Labor Party in Japan. In Japan' the people though not the government) are permeated by a strong spirit of democracy. Under pressure of that movement the last diet passed a universal manhood suffrage bill.

And recently a Farm er-Labor Party was formed In a national convention at Tokio of farmers and workmen. Taken by surprise, the Govcrn-nont did the very best thing to advertise the party and to further its growth: it ordered the dissolution of tho new party on the very day th; party was formed and its platform adopted. The Government contends that the party and its aims are in violation of the peace-preservation act passed by the last diet. Amplifying, the Home Office charges that the new party is controlled by Bolshevists and Communists. There is nothing bolshevik or communistic about the platform, though there are plenty of planks in it distasteful to stand-pattors.

Its demands are for the abolition of the Genro, the Advisory Council of Elders to the Mikado; abolition of the House of Peers and jf ihe Peerage itself; abolition of the general sta'f in army and admiralty; autonomy for the colonies, and reduction of military service from two years to a single year. There is also a plank expressing opposition to all wars of aggression. The "Japan Advertiser," the American owned English language paper in Tokio, acknowledges criticizing the Government for its action. However, the paper concedes the right to the authorities to dictate how this movement shall carry on. This attitude recalls the advice given by Prince Metternich to the Viennese in 1848, when he said: "As long as you keep out of politics you may be liberal and democratic to your heart's content.

It's going to be showered with (ire from the sky.

If so we need not worry much longer about a coal shortage, as everyone will be plenty warm enough. To end New York on Feb. would be rather hard on the new officials who have been appointed by Mayor Walker. They would only be able to draw one month's puy and not be clven a fair chance to they were going to Improve tho city government. The prophet does not say anytning about Jersey Clly being destroyed, so nervous people can go there on Feb.

We haven't heard of Insurance rates being increased on account of the prophet prediction, so we guess things will go on In the same old way and that we will all have to pay rent in March just the same.

TO-DAY. The Christmas tree is In the lot. The schools are open, too; That's why so many thousand kids, To-day, are feeling blue. LET'S HAVE IT. Brooklyn should have a university.

Why certainly. She Is big enough for two or three universities, but one will do for a starter, a first-class, big one.

Alaska may some near day rival Florida as a winter resort, for parts of the frozen territory are now steam heated and the area is spreading. Mount McKinley is now throwing out vast quant Hies of steam, and other volcanoes are following suit.

The fires In the volcanoes are burning nicely, and in consequence, streams that are usually frozen at this time of year are running merrily, and there is green vegetation whero Miow usually la. Just think of having steam heat without fighting with a janitor or having to buy coal at twenty-eignt dollars a ton. and furnace to attend to. or grate to shake, or ashes to cart out. Yes, subterranean heat may soon turn Alaska Into a summer resort, and one may soon see Eskimos walking about In I'alm Beach suits and Polar bears panting and wishing they could have their hair bobbed.

SHY A BUSHEL EACH. According to Government statistics we are shy one bushel of potatoes, and so are you nnd everyone else. We haven't noticed it, but it's a fact: According to Government statistics, this year's potato crop is Rhort one bushel for every man. woman and child in the United 8tates, ith no chance of getting the missing bushel back. However, we'll all pull through without any trouble.

If our missing bushel was suddenly presented to us we could not eat It up fast enough to save It from being ruined by frost, and so we will accept our loss cheerfully. F.E PREPARED. The bees, they store up honey, And squirrels store up nuts. And lots of dogs they bury bones, Both high-toned dogs and mutts. And so.

when winter comes around With Ice and snow and sleet It does not worry them a bit For they have food to eat. i This teaches us that we should save Just as much as v.e can, For no one knows when real hard luck Will overtake a man. Put something away in the bank. For ev'ry man should be Wise as a little squirrel or dog Or as a little bee. RABBI WISE STAYS 0MLES1EML Upheld by Executive Committee, Refrains From Criticising Opponents.

Rabbi Stephen S. Wise continues to-day to be chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, The executive committee last night asked him to withdraw his resignation and he did so. Dr. Wise's resignation was offered during controversy aroused by a sermon In which he Jesus Christ as a religious teacher. Some orthodox rabbis construed his statements as practically an acceptance of Jesus by Rabbi Wise.

Dr. Wise maintained- through the controversy that he had been misquoted and misinterpreted. He explained that what he had tried to convey was that "Jesus was a hls-torio being, that he was not a Ood, but a man, not a Christian, but a Jew." Orthodox rabbis threatened to withdraw their support from the United Palestine Appeal's $5,000,000 drive for funds. Dr. Wise submitted his resignation as chairman ot the United Palestine Appeal to spare that organization embarrassment.

Tho matter came to a head last night when the executive committee met at tho Hotel Pennsylvania to lake action on Dr. Wise's reslgnatien. Louis l.ipsky presided. At times the meeting was stormy. The final vote was it to favor ot rejecting the resignation.

Dr. Wise was notified and asked to remain. He did so, saying to the committee members: "1 have no criticism to offer, even of those who wronged me most doep-ly.

MARKn Shoe Clerk: Absented-Mlnded Customer: J. W. NORTON NEW ORGANIST OF FLUSHING P. E. CHURCH John W.

Norton, for the past sixteen years organist and choirmaster of St. James P. E. Church, Chicago, has been appointed to a like position in St. George's P.

E. Church, Flushing. He succeeds Charles W. Pick-ells, who recently resigned, and whose i-e-jignation led to the resignation of most of the members of the choir. Mr.

Norton was In charge of the muBlcal service at St. George's yesterday, the programme including solos by Master John J. Brierly, first soloist of St. Thomas' P. E.

Church, Manhattan. MUSIC Paderewski. Desplts a scale of double admission charges, and close following upon holidays' expenditures, there flocked to the Academy's opera house on Saturday atfernoon all Rges and conditions of people, musical and otherwise, bent upon sight and sound of the commonly conceived King of Pianists Pade rewski. A one-hundred per cent. 'sell and rows of standees be sides.

Always, Paderewski mote than any pianist, has had the power to attract the multitude. A sort of mystery always attaches to him, and he is to-day at once a Legend, Myth and a Fact His career has been altogether outside that of any other pianlstlo aspirant. His past makes great framing for the present picture. Separate him from It, and how would he stand as a new comer? The few In the extreme virtuoso class, as such, are his superiors In refinement of keyboard super-craft-manshlp. Others may be cited as having greater uniformity of tone beauty beyond his and many In lesser rank are guiltless of some ot Paderewski's brutal offenses against the ethics of accepted traditions in piano playing.

The merest conservatory tyro can wonderingly question concerning his misdemeanors. He seems more and more to revert to that merciless pounding of the keyboard which had become so pronounced, and commented upon even by his ardent admirers, before he left the concert platform for that ot world diplomacy. The Paderewski of early days we worshiped for his exquisite tone, the absolute rectitude of his style, his poetio conceptions, and that mysterious "something else" ever a lure to his shrine. That something else was the genius of the man; It persists In the non-conformist of today. His yet the power to thrill the Ignorant and the 'pedagogue alike.

Taken Just as he Is, he ts the universal pianist, and the passing of an era Is witnessed In these last appearances of the greatest of his clan. None can escape the force of so great a passion as that of Paderew-skl's art. The Brooklyn programme was: Fantasy and Fugue in minor luacn-usst). Variations In minor (Haydn), Rondo In A minor (Mo- What Oh, sart), Sonata in minor. Op.

31 (Beethoven). "Serenade" and Erl-klng" (Schubert-Liszt). Ballade In a flat, Nocturne in major. Mazurka In sharp minor and Valse in A flat (Chopin); Nocturne a Raguse (Ernest Schelling), "Don Juan" Fantasia (Mozart-Liszt). Anion-encores -were Schumann's "Bird as Prophet." a Schubert impromptu, a Chopin etude and polonaise.

The recital was held under the auspices of the music department of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. The pianist was greeted, as is usual, by a darkened audito rium and a rising audience. Philharmonic Concert. The sober grayness ot the new year's first Sunday, and subsidence from the restless activities of the past fortnight, made receptive the mood of yesterday afternoon's audience at the Philharmonic Orchestra's third Brooklyn concert. There was the custom ary quota of all-filled seats.

The event marked William Mengelberg's last appearance at the Academy of Music for this season. The programme included Schu bert's "Unfinished" Symphony, Men delssohn's Concerto for Violin, in minor, with Efrem Zimballst as solo ist, and Richard Straussv tone poem, "Thus Spake Zara-Thustra." Schubert's frequently heard symphony, was given In the full beauty of its pensive and appealing character. Mr. Zimbalist's playing was to the satisfaction of many. The best of his effort was realized In the concerto's first movement, bringing more especially to the fore those qualities for which he is noted.

The Andante, In Mr. Zimbalist's reading, was shorn of much of Its exceeding sweetness, and the allegro finale was taken In tempo, outspeedlng even the "molto vivace" of Its marking. It lost greatly In brilliance thereby, and. while the orchestra caught on the wing the flying dynamic phrases and glancing notes, it was only the assertive rhythmic beat of the soloist which held the comet-like course of the movement from dissolving into mist. Mr.

Zimballst was called to make his several bows. The Strauss tone-poem renewed acquaintance with a work previously heard In Brooklyn Under the batons of Fiedler and Monteux. Mr. Mengel-berg, as the composer's favorite expositor, brought forward the high lights of the music. There will be another of the less familiar Strauss scores heard in Brooklyn this week, on Friday night, at the Academy of Music, when Serge Koussevltzky leads the Boston Orchestra In performance of the "Alpine" Symphony, The Philharmonic's next concert at the Academy will take place on Bun-day afternoon, Jan.

1 And Will Ha Wed Fair AstridT Humor having chosen Astrid, Prin- fcts of Sweden, to bs the bride of tha Prince of Wales, who is some day, probably, to be Edward VIII of England, It now remains only to see whether tha Princa himself has chosen her and whether she will have him. If, as seems to-day to be rather likely, the match is" really about to bs made, there will be gen uine aighs of relief from all that portion of tha world that allows Itself to be stirred about such things, There will next be public appearances of the fair Astrid in England, with the certainty of polite ovations. She misrht visit here: she and her Prince would undoubtedly be right heartily mobbed. The search for a Princess of Wales lias been long and arduous. It might be supposed to be no sort of compliment to this fyventy-year-old l'rincess to be assured that the hunt for a royal bride las been going on ever since she was in pigtails, and tiiat it has, in a manner of speaking, finally tapered down to her.

But to reassure her against any such no tion will be the romantic duty of her royal cousin of Wales, if, indeed, there, is any truth in the rumor that is to-day being cabled far and wide over the surface of the earth.
