DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED

DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED.
The Hon. Eugene y. Foss. Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor in
Massachusetts, is the latest victim in
politics of the ready letter writing habit.
Mr.. Foss was formerly a Republican
and an active opponent of the Republi-
can organization in the Bay State. Fail
ing TO impose on the party his eccentric
policy of reciprocity with Canada. with
or without the Dominion's knowledge
and consent, he has now Joined with the
Democrats in denOuncing the govern
ment at Washington for not securing
trade concessions which the Dominion
has no desire 10 grant, and in attacking
the protective policy as bar to closer
relations between New England and
Canada. But the Democratic State
Convention which nominated Mr.. FOss
had 8 few other political ideas than
reciprocity and low tariff in its CULVER.
IT took a shot at the present state ad-
ministration, for instance, in a resolu-
ton cOndemning Governor Draper for
yetoing an act amending the eight-hOur
law passed at the last session OF the
Legislature. The Democratic managers,
with a keen eye to the labor vote, de
nounced the veto as a blow at the rights
and interests Of labor.
They overlooked, however. the fact
that the recruit whom they were nomi-
mating for Lieutenant Governor had
written a letter 10 Governor Draper
urging him TO veto the amendments TO
the eight-hour law on the ground that
the changes proposed would prove "det-
s'rimental 20 the interests of the state,
.the several counties, cities and towns /;
~to our interests as employers, and also
''to the interests Of our employees" Mr..
Foss signed that communication as an
official OF the B. F. Sturteyant Com
pany, a well known manufacturing con-
cern, and he therefore properly alluded

"the interests Of our employees" Yet
low he is running for Office on a plat
form commencing an act to which he
was personally SO opposed that be sought

Statesmen who lend their names to
Democratic organizations willing 10
take desperate chances IN order 10 win
power or 10 keep It subject themselves
20 strange embarrassments 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Foss, being carried away
by the compliment Of a unanimous Dem
Ocratic nomination, heard the platform
read from the convention stage and pro-
nOunced IL "a cOrker" Maybe he was
affected by the hypnotic influences
which seem, under similar clrcum-
stances, TO have overcome Judge Gay
nor. The latter was so punctilious about
avoiding possible contamination from

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to congratulate you upon
taking the initiative In publishing in your
daily paper the names and addresses OF
the attorneys through whom the mort
cages on real estate are made. Aside from
your paper there is no source from which
this information can be obtained. except
at the end of each quarter unless you
take the trouble to make daily excursions
to the Hall of Records. 1 should think
that the information which you furnish
would be especially valuable TO all mort
in this line of work and would greatly
increase among this class of people the
circulation of your paper.
Before you started giving this informa-
ton we were not subscribers to your pa
per, but since it has been called to our
attention we not only read your paper
daily, but each day file the real estate
sheet for future reference.
l would suggest that another way by
which you can add TO the value of your
columns would be by publishing in addi-
tion to the information which you already
give. a daily list of the satisfied mort
cages, together with the names and ad-
dresses OF the attorneys who receive the
money. This information is not published
by any one and 1t is of special value TO
mortgage brokers.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Coming out of one of the large depart
ment stores two well-dressed women saw
a group of street urchins gazing at their
automobile and one little girl was heard
to say: Wish I could have a ride in it,
The women smiled and then the child
was asked If she would really like ride.
and was helped into the machine after
assuring the women that she would not
be missed at home. Her companions set
up cheer the machine started, and
some OF them were still on the spot when
it returned half an hour later, bringing
back the little girl The women con-
graduated themselves on having given the
little one an extraordinary treat, but were
disenchanted when she told them that her
father was a chauffeur and that she liked
his machine "a great deal better"

CITY NEEDS HONEST, ABLE MEN.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The municipal campaign now in
progress is not a campaign of political
parties fought on political issues, and
should not be considered as such. 1t is a
campaign of rent and tax payers on the
one side and INSCRIPTIONS Officeholders and
their mercenaries on the other, and the
issue is sobriety and economy in the man
agement of the affairs of the city.
The inefficient and extravagant malad-
ministration Of the city government is an
open scanda,. The wasting of millions of
dollars in scandalous transactions has
brought about the enormous rise in the
tax rate.
The lack of genuine and honest endeavor
of city officials and clerks is apparent to
any one coming in contact with any of the
city departments. 1t is about time that
the city administration be reorganized and
properly -quipped with honest and capable
men to do the business of the city hon
estly, efficiently and economically.

NOT OURG

we have received a clipping from the
editorial page Of THE Anderson 0nd.,
Bulletin" which so startingly amplifies
ana alters a remark we made a few
weeks ago about the availability of
Governor Thomas r. Marshall OF Ipdt-
ana as Presidential candidate that wa
feel called upon to disavow responsibil-
ity for the extraordinary opinions with
which we appear TO be credited. We feel
Indebted to THE Bulletin" for prefacing
the supposed quotation from our COL
umes with the statement that ''The New
York Tribune has long been the leading
Republican newspaper Of the country. >"
But we should not like to have TO base
any claim 10 leadership on such capacity
to interpret public opinion or to foreca st
political action as is exhibited In the
following extract, entitled THE Tribune
on Governor MarshalT:
So far he has shown little DISPOSE
ton TO make contest for the control Of
the national organization. There is no
reason why Governor Marshall should
make a contest" for the control Of
the national organization. The Demo-
cratic party does not allow its national
organization 10 nominate its candidates
The business OF the organization is to
help elect them after they have been
chosen. II the Democrats of the country
want Governor Marshall-snd II seems
reasonably certain that they Will-they
win just reach out and take him. And
If they nominate him he will be elected
The Democratic party and the country
sustained a great loss in the death of
Governor Johnson OF Minnesota. but the
party and the country are not hopeless
so long as men like Thomas r. Marshall
OF Indiana, are in view.

after the death of Governor Johnson

ECONOMY IN SCHOOLS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Does The Tribune think it justice
to economize in the elementary schools?
Glasses are Overcrowded, teachers sick
and disheartened because of inability to
cope with the extra pupils and their dis
cipline.
Why not economize in outside attrac-
tions-summer and adult schools-lectures?
These things are good in a way. but could
be dispensed with better than others. Boys
and girls are crowded. two in one seat.
and some almost on the floor. I know
twenty teachers who are doctoring for
nerves." Young, inexperienced teachers
are given boys classes where men should
be appointed. Another economy.
