PEssiMISM OVER SOCIALISM.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The National Civic Federation will
meet in New York City on November 90 10
discuss old age pensions. These pensions
are. in short. part and parcel Of the 60
cialism OF the day State aid helped the
child in its education from near fits birth
and now state aid must help the aged near
the grave. The two extremes meet in their
practical socialism. while there also can te
traced present day evidences of socialism
all along through life. In fact all civilized
communities are merging toward socialism,
and those persons most strenuous in denying
fl are i'm other breaths the most strenuous
assisteTs OF il.
The National Civic Federation is, as a
whole, one OF the very agencies that are
producing the deplorable socialistic results,
and the conference that ii calls Is with thu
hope of progressing still further along 30
cialistic lines. Hundreds Of organizations
like the Federation exist in New York State
alone, and the whole country is honey
combed with them; even down 10 the
women's clubs the poison of socialism has
reached. and they. too. arc vying with the
others I'm work which. if not stopped. means
a common destruction for US all

the advocates of mob law 10 greater
activity. IL says:
Another result will be that tho enraged
people anticipating such omnipotent in
reference. will take no risks. and will
administer prompt and terrible penalties
without any forInalities.
But such AN argument assumes that
mob law Is superior I'm merit to law as
administered in the courts; for IL repre-
sents the people as so impatient of tie
restraints of judicial procedure as to re-
sent a decision which aims at giving
greater security to court processes. Tue
Supreme Court has set the laudable eS-
ample of seeking out and punishing tnose
directly or indirectly responsible for MOD
interference with the machinery OF the
law. 1t has given hint TO the state
courts that they. too. can discipline Of
ticials who do not do their best to project
prisoners whose fate has not yet been
legally decided. IL has thus greatly
strengthened the respect due 10 the
courts and made the assertion u
IcOb's will more perilous. If laws are
worth having they are worth enforciiiS'
and the Supreme Court is fundamentaiy
right i'm emphasizing the majesty of the
law and the authority vested In those
who administer g.
Is it 10 be made o reproach that such
a strengthening of the hands of justice
will interfere with the present facile
practice of lynch law and make extreme
efforts 10 execute mob vcrdicts neceS-
sary: The Picayunc" and those who
agree with it misplace their censure. If
the present administration Of criminal
law is lax and dilatOry, If it allows TOO
many appeals. the law itself should be
corrected. The people of any state can
abolish or limit criminal appeals in their
own courts and can otherwise expedite
criminal Justice. In most cases there
can he no plausible appeal 10 the United
States Supreme Court, because such an
appeal must be based ON constitutional
grounds. If the machinery of the Grim
iuaI courts Is bad il can be improved Dy
legislation. The blame is with the peO-
pie themselves. If they fail 10 simpllfy
criminal processes they have no excuse
for condemning the use of the legal
means of defence put i'm the hands OF
those charged with crime. Least or all
should they disparage the Supreme
Courts determination TO preserve the in
tegrity of court processes as now estaD-
lished and to insist that the law shall he
administered regularly. impartially and
without mob assistance. The lynchinS
habit can easily be cured in any coin-
munity if the people of that community
realize that they must depend on the law
alone for the punishment of criminals
and that they will be brought sharply TO
account if they try any short cuts 10 JUS

IL says:
We must observe the forms and the

4 LESSON IN ECONOMY.

Controller Metz says that his proposed
modification Of the salary schedules of
the Finance Department which he ex-
poets the Board of Estimate To adopt to-
day is simply a wedding out of what lie
calls 1.-THE buns and lOafers" and a
clinching of the better men by giving
them salary increases out Of apprOpria
tiOn moneys saved 10y economy in the
departmental payrOlls.
The Controller has many virtues which
his native modesty cOmpels him 10 con-
ceal from the public gaze. Perhaps this
intense desire 10 crown his administra
ton of the city's finances 10y an act Of
generosity is one of these hidden virtues.
He doubtless knows under what fearful
disadvantages he has IabOred with his
department loaded up with "bums and
lOaferS," and he wishes TO clear the decks
for his successor. And il is like the Con-
trOller, too, 10 perform this good oct
without any biare of trumpets.
An ignorant public il is true. is likely
10 misunderstood the real significance at
the Controllers frankness in the pas.
His officially published records might also
serve To confuse the real issue i'm The
present case. for they show that there
has been an addition of over 100000 10
the salary payrolls of the Finance De
partment during the last three years. 1t
is true that economy in departmental

age yearly salary increase Of S1O0,oU0

At the risk of giving offence. the mem-
bers of the Board of Estimate are hum
bly, advised to persuade the city'S chier
financial officer Ia uncover 10 them at
tO-day's meeting some glimmering of the
secret. 81 that they in the future may
be saved the chagrin Of asking silly
questions and interpOsing ridiculous Oh
jections TO the carrying out of So high
and worthy n purpose.
The new Controller might also save
himself great deal of trouble M the
very outset of his official career by
learning few of the elementary priu-
ciples of municipal economy from a care
full study of these same salary schedule
notifications. Ignorance upon the sub
iect is likely TO embarrass him when he
is called upon To take up the difficnlt
task Of saving money for the city. 1t

other Democratic leaders. but not Ia
such an extent that he appears 10 he
regarded as the Democratic candidate
i'm the way that the nominees chosen
by the Committee of one Hundred in
the recent campaign in this city were
the Republican candidates lie has
also a large measure of Republican sup
port. including that Of the Republican
newspapers of Boston. II is not clear
as yet. however. that the Republican
organization as such is for him. and lac
certainly is not referred to in the Bos-
ton newspapers of the day after his
nomination as the Republican candidate.
In the person of Mayor Hiblerd. who Is
also in the field. there Is n Republican
seeking the Office. hut il does not appear
that he impresses the public mind as
the Republican candidate. His boomers
seem 10 be his own appointees and his
looks like the effort Of an administra-
tion Ia continue itself in office. Thus,
with the situation confused. for il is
still inchoate and there are not the
customary labels for guides. it appears
that the new method OF making nomina-
tiOns has largely subordinated partisan
considerations in this campaign. Tho
reform Is therefore promising.
If Mr. StOrrow is elected Boston will
have AN excellent Mayor. one OF the
Barnard sOr1. IL Mr.. Fitzgerald is
elected BOSTON will have had Mayor.
But if the city elects Mr. Fitzgerald it
will be because il wants q bad Mayor.
The issue will be simple-a good Mayor
or a had one, unocmplicated by any
questions OF party loyalty, though it
may be involved with questions of race
and religion, for regret l. expressed
that Mr. Storrow does not belong 10
what Is described in the Boston pc
rphrasis as the dominant racial and re-
ligious element"
New-York tribune., 1909-11-19
THE MERGER.

The pr0fcssed object of the telephone
and telegraph merger is to effect econO-
mics, and if il actually includes the two
company. as il is currently supposed 10
DO. il can effect great economies. The
two telegraph companies involve a need
less duplication of plant. But as the
plants Of both are already in existence
economies will be chiefly in administra-
tiOn. Just as the administrations of these
two companies can be profitably united,
- also that Of the telephone company
can be Joined with IL. One office In many
Instances will serve for both telephone
and telegraph. Moreover. il is said that
4 modern invention makes il possible 10
use one wire at the same time for the
transmission of both telegraph and tele-
phone messages.
IL may be granted that there viii be
great economy in united management
of these services. and that once they
are united, inventions viii tend 10 in-
crease the savings which can be thus
effected. But the question is. who is go
inE 10 profit by these savings: If il is
going 10 be the companies only, and II
a large amount Of stock is 20 be put Out
90 cover increased earnings due 10 econ
omy. then there will be the usual oppO-
sition on the part of the public 10 the
merger. If the public is 10 gain in lower
rates or improved service or both as
result of the savings made possible, we
see Bo reason why it should not welcome
the combination gladly.
It viii be the public's business 10 see
that IL does gain by the combination.
With monopoly of both means of COM
municatiOn in the hands OF one company
public regulation becomes imperative. A
law placing the telegraph and telephone
business under the supervision OF the
Public Service commissions, as recon-
mended by Governor Hughes. should be
one of the earliest acts Of the next legis-
lative session. and the commissions
should see that the public profits by the
mergers economies.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE FOOTBALL SITUATION.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The solution of the football prob
lon is not far to seek The game now
played In this country IS not game at all.
1t is becoming year after year less and less
Of wholesome and attractive sport. and
slowly but surely developing into an or
sanized brawl that is neither beneficial 20
tie contestants nor edifying to the specta-
tors.
Cut il out altogether, and take up the sim
pier and more entertaining game of "Asso-
ciation." which is really foot ball, and 2
good, clean. safe, healthy sport. and which
can be played by boys and men OF all age5
and physiques without having an ambU-
lance corps in attendance.
But IL they must play Rugby" for Heav-
ems sake let US have good. old-fashiOned
Rugby. and play man against man. with no
artificial protection. Throw away the
splintS and bandages, the trusses and
armor plate, and the play viii automatically
adjust itself To a saneT and safer basis.
Rig out the men in simple Jerseys and
knee drawers. and the accidents will stop
of their own accord.
