Individual Finger Marks Permanent
Through Life-AdOptiOn OF System
for Identification Of v. s. Soldiers
and Sailors.
A few weeks ago Inspector
Mclaughlin OF the New York City De-
tective Bureau received remarkable
evidence of the value Of thumb-prlnt
Identification. A letter was brought
to him through the mails from London
containing the picture and record Of
a noted criminal whose thumb-print,
with his name and description, was
sent TO London 10 test the efficiency
of this new method Of recording dis
tinguishing marks Of criminals. BY
means of the thumb-prlnt alone. the
English police identified the criminal
captured by the New York police,
whose record IN England includes eight
imprisonments on charges of larceny.
The prisoner was caught by Inspector
Mclaughlin In the corridor OF the
WaldOrf-Astoria Hotel in April. There
were no charges against him in this
country at the time but the Inspector
decided that his captive was an En-
gllsh "crook." 1t was found that two
patrons of the hotel had been robbed
and the prisoner was detained for
thorough investigation Of his case.
Meanwhile the Inspector sent the
thumb-print to London and the reply
brought a photograph Of the "crook"
and a duplicate photograph of his
thumb-prlnt and his record.
THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.
For some time the criminal bureaus
Of prominent cities have been using
the Bertillon measurement system
which also includes making two pho
tographs of the suspicious character,
but the French system and photo
graphy have fallen short in many
cases, as a scheming criminal can
adopt various subterfuges to cheat the
law, but there Is no way Of changing
the character of his thumb-print, for
there are no two people whose thumbs
are exactly alike, and each person has
his own individual thumb-print whose
character remains the same from the
day of birth to the end.
OLD AS THE HILLS.

mode of Identification, as from time

cUBAts INSURGENTS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2i,-From the COM
ment made on the Cuban situation 1t is
evident that the matter IL very imperfectiy
understood In this country. The uprising
Is not, al 80 many assume It to be, u mere
blast from a Cuban Adullam-a mere riot
provoked by the unworthy and the ire
sponsible. 1t Ia not simply a disturbance
created by disappointed Office seekers
and professional brigands. Some OF both
Of those classes are in IL, but the movement
is too deep and too widespread to make 1t
possible to account for it on any such
grounds. ..s
Among the leaders and supporters Of the
movement are men of good standing. Dur
ing the intervention -the American ar-
thorities regarded Jose Miguel Gomez as
the best man to serve as Civil Governor
Of Santa Clara province, and Demetrio
Castillo was chosen az Civil Governor OF
Santiago province, also by American au-
thority. Senior Monteagudo was chief OF
the Rural Guard in Santa Clara province,
under General Leonard Wood. Carlos Garcia
also held an official position during the
time OF american control, as did q number
Of others connected with the present re-
volt. Others engaged In the affair have
represented their districts in the Cuban
Senate or House, and others have served
as Mayors Of their cities or In some other
municipal offices.
A right conception OF the present situa-
ton In the island lie impossible unless their
proper weight Ii given to certain facts.
Those who assert that the disturbance is
only another OF Cuba's frequent revolu-
tons have not read Cuba's history. The
island has not been a land Of revolutions.
In the last hundred years there have been
not more than five disturbances to which
such a term could be applied. It Is even
doubtful II the affairs Of 1929, 1928 and the
Lopez affair Of 1851 can rightly be regarded
as revolutions. Since then there has been
nothing except the Ten Years VA (ls8S-
1879 and the revolt of 1895, which ended In
Cuban independence.
During the Palma regime thus far there
has been peace and progress. Toward
both OF those conditions those now In arms
and those who are behind the bands in the
field nave contributed ga actively and az
earnestly as ave those who support the
Government to-day. Cuba's development
has been the work OF tho Cubans 40 q whole,
and is not the result Of the acts Of one par
ticular political organization. 1t appears
to be clearly susceptible Of proof that the
party in power, the Moderate, Is In fact
the minority party. The revolt now on Is In
large part a protest against certain political
acts OF a Government charged with usurpa-
ton OF political power. Whether or not 1t
is in any way c~ommendable, it lie in part at
least respectable.
No course is open to the Government
except that Of suppressing the revolt by
the use Of all the means within it's control.
How quickly.it can do this, or whether II
can do no at all, remains to be seen.

THE VERMONT CAMPAIGN.
Compulsory Honesty and Benencent Boss.
fsm Fatal to Clemeat's Hopes. ,

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir' The
dificulty which Mr.. Clement encounters IN
his campaign for the Governorship OF YER
mont is unique and insuperable. There is
throughout the country a general tendency
to rise and destroy graft. extravaganza and
bossism. and almost any where else a party
promising to abolish those evils would Ia We
q good chance Of success on that issue alone
without much regard to the personality OF
candidates. Not 50 in Vermont. There
isn't any graft here. The people watch men
In Office too closely. Every citizen IA u de-
%tective. symptoms Of graft are Instantly
spotted, and 1t dies a-bornin'.
There isn't any extra vagance. either. The
public expenses are sbsurdlyN small, You
can't talk effectively about extra vasance In
q State where the salary OF the Governor 10
81, 500, and where a Judge Of the Supreme
Court, who works like a horse all the year
round. doing the work allotted to two Judges
anywhere else. gets but 81, 600 n year. And
other State expenses are ih proportion,
AZ to bossism: Senator Proctor IL undoubt

cent despot as human nature can, and the

the nearest thing to perfection In government.
The vermonter h reared in a hard soil. and

will prove a mighty rocky adventure.
To succeed In Vermont requires al mtelli-
gent tending of self interest and q watchfui-
ness Of others which amounts to. genius.
The people will act together az a body against
q foreign body. They will unite to despoil
a stra niger or tomake II unpleasant mt for a New
conner. II O traveller wishes TO- take q dollar
of his money out Of the State he had better
glue it to his person under his clothes. and
II Is as hard for a ne conner to. get q foothold
in any bushes as It would be to dance a
hornpipe on a quicksand.. incidentally. these
are two of the reasons why the population of
people hold one another to the very ~s,rictest
account.
When you get o Vermonter to apply the
experience gained In his private life or In tbs
public life Of his own State to the national
interest you have an ideel public ser want
because nobody can get the better Of him.

spelling Reform with a Vengeance.

We have been in the habit Of regard
ing Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE as the Will
lam, j. Bryan Of Spelling Reform, an
opinion which is in no wise impaired by
the fact that he has just been superseded
and made relatively obsolete by Mr..
ROOSEVELT. We think we'll of the Eng
lish language, and the steady and unre-
hitting effort to improve its spelling
which has been going on since the time
of CHAUcER has enjoyed our unmixed
approval. That Mr.. ROOSEVELT in his
full quality as President of the United
states should devote the resources OF
the Government to the precipitate and
indeed peremptory PRONUNCIATION OF a
new form of etymology is, we confess,
something that we were not prepared
for. II is, indeed, a surprise; but we
shalt not be misunderstood when we say
that compared with other surprises
which Mr.. ROOSEVELT has vouchsafed
us it is relatively grateful,
What its effect upon usage may prove
to be it is not possible to say. Backed
up by the printing trade Of the country
at large, that is to say, by all the news
papers and by all the publishers Of books
and periodicals, something would I'M
doubtedIy come of it. 1t is very doubt
full, however, if the printers will follow
il to any appreciate extent. The rea-
son for this is not, as might be c~onjec-
tured, reasonably enough, that they are
not inspired by a sufficient animosity to
the English language, but that they do
not care to incur the expense. What
that would amount to the President will
doubtless learn when he hears from the
Government Printing Office. May we
be permitted to doubt that had the
President been aware of the practical
consequences of his order he would have
thought twice instead Of not at all before
he issued it?
