TAKES EXCEPTIONS TO LECTURES.

To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Every winter season I am attend
ing public lectures. and usually enjoy them
] take home from these lectures the cOnvic-
tiOu that I have wasted by time by hear
ing some empty phrases about facts that
every child knows. This happened last
night az the public school al 1SSth street
and Audubon avenue. 4 lecture was given
about Mural Paintings a subject which
had drawn a large audience. and indeed
art, ard painting especially. a chance 10
interest the hearers a little az least. The
lecturer. however, demonstrated line Os
pictures. giving only for each one a short
explanation. telling the artists name and
where the picture was 10 be found-nOthinG
about it's beauty. its striking charm or
spiritual meaning.
Al the close the lecturer remarked that.
as an unfortunate fact. most Of the Ameri-
can painters leave our country in order %
live in a more artistic atmosphere than
they can find here. and that they should
be kept In this country by all means.
I hope that no foreign artist attended
this lecture. because ne might have taken
along the impression that there is no art
in America at all. even no understanding
Of e. This may have been the case nifty
years ago. but the Hudson Fulton exhibi-
tiOn proves the contrary uf the present day.

the side Of this country. But the ex-
penses Of American workingmen were
also higher than of German. Thus IN
Germany the expenses OF skilled work
ingmen were S45T II and of unskilled
SAIL 30. while In America the expenses
of the mingled classes were SITS %.
Nevertheless the margin of surplus was
far greater here than there. for the
German skilled workingmen had only
81 l. surplus apiece and the unskilled
an actual deficit of 81 o.. while the
American had a surplus of SJ6 30.
Again. the actual cost of food was
higher here than there To the skilled
German workingman IL was S235 - and
10 the unskilled 500 %. while to the
American IL was 1924 66. Nevertheless
ii was propOrtiOnately lower here than
there. since To the two German classes
Il was respectively 51.5 and - per cent
Of their total expenses. while here II was
only 43 per cent There can be ne doubt.
moreover. that the smaller American
percentage means really a better quality
Of food than the Germans enjoy. We
have here no government slaughter
houses for dogs and wornOut horses for
the food of w0rkinCmen. OF course
there is in Germany a system of old age
insurance which does not exist here.
But with a surplus of S56 year. against
practically none at all i'm Germany. the
American workingman can probably in
sure himself as well : the German is in
sured by the state and still enjoy a
better standard Of living

Nr. Balfours sO-called admission"
that he is opposed 20 levying a tariff on
raw cotton must not be interpreted as an
indication of lukewarmness or hesitancv
toward tariff reform. hut rather quite
the contrary, for. as ne truly says. such
tax would violate the fundamental
principles of fiscal reform. A protective
tariff is levied upon imports which are
similar 10 or Identical with domestic
products with which they compete. but

New York, Nov. 1S.-Commander Robert
r. Peary made no direct illusions 90 rival
explorers tonight at the dinner given in
his honor by the Aldine Association at
their club rooms In the Fifth Avenue

But Admiral Colby NJ. Chester minced
no words. He called DR.. Cook and the
expressions fake flag fake pictures, ."
cake walking to the pole" and the We
bementIy-exploded word fake" detonat-
ed all through the admirars short but
lively address.
The admiral said he was ready 20 make
an affidavit that DR. Cook himself had
told him admiral Chester) that the flag
picture used by DR.. Cook in his account
OF his ascent OF Mount Mckinley was
faxed
The tenor of Commander Peary's speech
was to the effect that no one ever reached
the north pole. or ever win reach #
again II he has not had proper expert
ence and proper equipment, Following
this subject Peary made it plain that the
continent and experience he thinks nee
esserv for success must at least be as
thorough as he (Peary) has had His
audience naturally concluded from this
that Peary's speech was positive state
ment that no party but his own had ever
climbed to the ninetieth degree of lati-
tude.
