. dance of park area In that part Of the city, no
' body would think OF acquiring these blocks at a
cost Of S2OOO,JO0 or whereabouts for an addl-
tional park save for Coumbia's sake. and the
question may be raised whether the public should
he thus taxed for that purpose.
Future generations would perhaps applaud tue
generosity and public spirit of the city In thus
providing of its great universities with so
superb a riverward prospect. and the spectacle
OF that slope of sward and trees, with the river
and the stadium at its foot and the clustering
academic halls and dome at its summit, would
be a thing of beauty and source of pride. Yet
IT might be that the present and the immediate
future would say Columbia should have provided
her campus. and that the city's money
would better have been spent on parks where
they are needed for public health and comfort
and not merely for show. We cannot deny that
this grandiose scheme appeals to u.s. but we GER
tanly should rather see IL fulfilled by the mu-
nificence Of the wealthy alumni of Americas
wealthiest university than at public cost But
that is. we have said. a matter not at all
necessarily connected with the plan for water
side stadium. which seems TO be quite free from
the objections that may be raised against the
other. and worthy OF commentator.

SPEAKER wADswoRTH,s POSITION

Speaker Wadsworths explanation Of his
views on the Hooker question should put at
rest once and for all the wiseacreS who have
been trying TO read deep political significance
into ii and discover that he had become a
timid reactionary. He takes the ground taken
by The Tribune in opposing anything that
tends TO make removal by joint resolution an
instrument Of partisanship persecution. The
Tribune felt that the acts of Justice Hooker
warranted his removal, and believed that vote
to that effect would have exercised most salu-
tary influence But when the Legislature after
a hearing, deliberately refused to make the re-
moval it seemed to US the case should be con-
sidered closed. As the Speaker, who voted
against Justice Hooker, points out a renewal
of the complaint year after year, making re-
moval dependent on the changing complexion
of the Legislature, tends to rob the proceeding
of its quasi judicial character. and leaves the
tenure of judges at the mercy Of agitation.
Many OF the seyerest critics of Justice Hooker,
notably our Democratic neighbor 1.-The New
York Times" gravely doubted the propriety of
removal by joint resolution and feared that
the of such power by the Legislature, even
though granted in terms would establish q
dangerous precedent If there was any such
danger In a removal on charges newly brought
forward for a first trial, how much more dan
gerous would be the precedent of subJecting a
Judge whom one Legislature had refused to
remove to the hazard Of another hearing. and
perhaps still others, till the necessary vote for
removal could be drummed up? One removal
SO obtained might be due TO honest popular
conviction. Another might be the result of
mere prejudice or of political plot Whatever
may be thought of last summers finding, the
Speaker is right in thinking it should be final.

orally threatened with starvation and death.
The call for their relief Is one no civilized ma
ton can afford to deny or to ignore.
Japan is doing its best for them. But we
must remember that II is one of the least
afiuent nations of the world. There were nu-
merous prophecies that it would be financially
ruined by the war with Russia, and indeed
that financial straits would cause Its defeat in
the war. In fact Japan came through the war
In better financial condition than Russia, and
is now preparing to pay off its whole indebted
ness In the not remote future. Such economical
administration of finances and such scrupu-
lous regard for national credit should inspire
admiration and should emphasize the appeal
for aid 1t is not for an improvident or profit
gate people that help is sought but for one dis
tnguished by frugality, economy and business
competence in a high degree The fact more
over, that the American National Red Cross
has officially undertaken the administration of
this country's aid to Japan should commend the
case to generous attention. That society, under
It's present reorganization, is highly efficient and
perfectly trustworthy We hope readers
will do their full part at this time in enabling
it to report rich gifts in aid of Japan.

scheme for a central art home will be quickly
realized

NEW PLANS AT COLUMBIA

Columbia University's plan of a riverside ath-

view, and we trust the way may be made clear

university are obvious South Field at 10th

stadium Will supply that need in admirable
FASHION for all time. If. in addition. the ac-

Columbia to abolish the often pernicious system

monument TO the achievement of one of the
most desirable reforms in college sports
Whether or not the water gate" detail be full
nlled, the proposed development will be so great
an adornment 10 the cty's waterfront and will
interfere so little with commercial or other
interests that the municipality may well make
the desired grant Of riparian lands for the pur-
pose.
