st. Louis, Oct. u, 1910.

emphasizes clearly the direct opposites
in Tempest and Sunshine, two
beautiful Southern girls brought into
prominence by the lovable character of
one and the devilishness Of the other,
who by her deceit and hypocrisy causes
all manner Of direful disaster, in conse-
quence OF which innocent parties are
made to suffer for the guilty. This in
tenseIy interesting play will be seen at
Reynolds Opera House on Friday, No

THE SCHOOL BUDGET.

The comments which have been made
upOn this years estimates of the Board
of Education may or may not be OF
much Importance. The Superintendent OF
Schools thinks that they are not. But that
is q question which should be susceptible
of determination with facts and figures
TO the satisfaction of all intelligent citi-
zens. There is no thought of imputing
wholesale corruption to that department
of city government, or general 1ncompe-
tence We should be most reluctant to
regard it as guilty of extravaganza,
carelessness or any serious errors OF ad-
ministration And certainly its work Is
second 10 no other in Importance to the
welfare of the city. and therefore should
be not only adequately but even gener-
ously supported.
Nevertheless. there is in the Depart
ment of Education nothing so sacrosanct
as to EXEMPT it from the business prfn-
ciples which are elsewhere insisted upon,
nor is there anything so complex, OBJ
scure and cryptic in its accounts as to
render them essentially impossible OF
explanation to the informed lay mind.
This public does not object 10 paying for
its school system, but it does object to
paying for anything in the dark. 1t may
be that the large yearly increases in the
school budget are necessary, but II so
the reasons for that necessity surely
could and should he set forth in plain
words and figures. Seeing, moreover, that
the number of part-time pupils continues
to increase-despite optimistic declara-
tions a few days ago that it would this
wear be reduced almost TO the vanishing
noint-it would be gratifying TO many to
know how great an enlargement OF the
budget would be needed to provide school
accommodations at full time for all the
children Of the city.
1t is stated that while the city's popu-
lation has grown 3S.6S per cent in ten
years. the appropriations for the Board
of Education have increased 95.S2 per
cent. Assuming these figures to be cor
rect, an explanation Of them would seem
TO be desirable Certainly there should
be shown q vast improvement in school
conditions and efficiency. The cost OF
the Police Department is said to have in
creased less than the population; and we
do not know that the efficiency Of that
denartment has decreased. The cost Of
the Health Department has increased
most of all-16O.32 per cent-and we be-
lieye that its efficiency has greatly in
creased. The city is entitled to know
what it is getting in return for its en-
larged appropriations. and it is entitled
ia that knowledge concerning the De
nartment Of Education as well as any
other.

STILL TOO HIGH.

The Census Bureau reports death
rate in the United States in 1909 of
fifteen to the thousand. That is the
lowest rate on record since the bureau
began to collect mortality statistics in
1879. Eighteen of the forty-sX states
now make complete mortality returns,
as do the District Of Columbia and sew
entv-four cities III non-registration
states. The population in the registra
rion area in 1909 was BOB per cent OF
the total population Of the continental
United States, so that the death rate
may be taken TO represent conditions
All over the Union. The death rate in
1908 was 1914 Il thousand, in 1907 1874
and in 1906 16.1.
The gradual lowering Of the death
rate is one of the great achievements
Of science and civilization. Conserya-
ton Of life is the most important of the
MANY current projects for conserving
national resources. But human life is
still held far too cheap and methods of
checking waste are still more or less
rudimentary. This fact appears in the
pr-oportion Of deaths reported for chill
dren under five years. OF the 732, 53S
deaths reported in the registration area
in 1909. 14O057. or nearly 20 per cent.

LATER JUDGMENT ON THE FISH
ERTES VERDICT.

Inasmuch as the dispute over the
North Atlantic fisheries was nearly
century old. it is not altogether incon-
gruous that some little time should be
required for the forming of final and
correct opinions concerning the verdict
of the tribunal at The Hague. There
was instant and universal acquiescence
in that verdict, as was fitting. But
there were also many expressions OF
exultation in Great Britain and Of dis
appointment in America, which were
the result Of a somewhat thoughtless
and superficial consideration Of the YER
diet. Cause for exultation there doubt
less was, not only in the United King
dom and its colonies but also and
equally in the United States; not. how
ever because Of the special advantage
gained by either party, but because Of
the just and mutually beneficent settle
ment of the ancient controversy.
With the lapse of a little time come
surer judgments. so that now there are
few BritOns who would contend that the
verdict was a great victory for them
and few Americans who would repine
over what they at first esteemed a de-
feat. Thus the chief stress was laid
upon the disposition Of Question l as a
British victory and an American defeat,
and there were Americans so foolish as
10 say that having that one point de-
cided against us was tantamOunt to
losing the whole case. The wiser view
i that which is now set forth by the
well known English pnblicist, Mr..
Iucien Wolf, who insists that while
neither party got just what il wanted
on that Doint- the United States got
much more than IL expected. Perhaps
we might amend the statement 10y say
ing that the United States got all 10
which il was entitled Why not: This
country had no valid claim to preieren-
fial treatment IN favor 81 its fishermen.
but merely to guarantee. such. as the
Treaty Of Client gave, that there should
be no discrimination against them. And
that is what il secured at The Hague,
and a little more
There are other expressions of opinion
on other points, to the same general eff
feet. In such diplomatic disputes and
arbitrations the classic description Of
Dutch practices in commerce is fitting

ABUSE OF AUTO SIGNALS,

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The wanton abuse by irresponsible
motorists OF powerful warning signals is a
great source Of annoyance, as West End
Avenus" points out, but think If he viii
investigate the matter he will find that
there is already in existence a law which
prohibits just such occurrences as those OF
which he speaks
1t seems TO me most unfortunate that
loud and powerful auto signals. which when
rightly used are undeniably necessity 20
safe motoring, should be brought into dis
repute because OF their untinely and IN
called-for abuse by lawless few. II a
man were to take a revolver and discharge
it continuously 'at all hours of the night
he would promptly be arrested and pun
ished. The only reason the motorists which
West End Avenue describes are not dealt
with in a similar manner is because the
present law is not enforced. Yet the re-
volver rightly used is valuable impls-
ment, necessary protection. The same
thing applies TO auto warning signals.
Time and again have / seen these same
"discordant blasts actually prevent injury
10 absent-minded and needless pedestrians.
The general public has become so tnper-
vious 10 ordinary warning devices that only
signals of a loud and discordant character
will bring them 10 their senses and 20 a
realization OF their danger in crossing busy
streets.
Although a motorist myself, / am look
ing at the matter from the standpoint OF
the IMAM in 'front.' These warning signals
are his protection from accident. as well as
mine. and believe that all reasonable Pc
destrians will agree with me. E G. J.

United States a saving of at least 100

when we consider the fact that there IS
apparently no reason why infants, II
properly born (and this means simply
the prevention of antenatal disease and
the Improvement of the health and con-
ditions Of living OF their parents), should
die at all in early infancy or childhood
except from the comparatively small
proportion of accidents that are strictly
unavoidable.
This estimate of the possibilities Of
proper system of conservation presup-
poses conditions which viii be attained
only after years of education and prog
ress. But it remains true that the great
majority Of the children who now die

are sacrificed TO ignorance. Those who
survive often survive in spite of the
well intentioned treatment which they
receive. As 1.-The Bulletin" says, 1.-The
