less for alien lands. The most ardent
national patriotism is not only compat1-
BILE with but is also directly and strong
" conducive to the most effective PM
Ianfbropy toward the world at large.
The second ground assumed By Baron
Won Stengel is that the enormous mill
tary expenditures of the armed nations,
such as Germany, do not impoverish or
burden the people but rather prove
blessing. since the millions thus spent
return TO the people in the form OF
wages and payment for goods. with
that ingenious theory we may in part
agree though not wholly. 1t is true
that much is thus returned to the people,
but it is also true that much is not re-
turned but is altogether lost 1t Is I'M
deniabie that the education and training
which young men receive during their
enforced service in the army are OF con-
siderable benefit to them in increasing
their subsequent efficiency in productive
industry. but it is not certain TO what
extent. if any, that increased efficiency
compensates society for the loss of their
industrial services during the time OF
their military apprenticeship, and it is
asserted that the taste which they get
of camp and garrison life dlslnciheS
many of them to return to their former
pursuits. It Is also certain that IN the
military countries taxation is heavy ana
there is no such general prosperity as
Baron Won Stengel's suggestion of popu-
lar Drofits from military expenditures
would imply.
From the third ground we still more
strongly dissent-namely, that peace de-
stroys the manly fpirit of the people ana
that the peace propaganda is mani
festatfon of lamentable feminism, the
prevalence of which would imperil the
success of the white race in its impend-
ing struggle for existence with the vel
low and black races. We cannot concede
that peace is necessarily CT essentially
weak, unmanly and degenerate, any
more than we could condemn every
warrior as necessarily cruel ana GRIM
inal. Some of the greatest soldiers ana
foremost opponents of militant manhood
have been also foremost among the adj
yocates of peace, while innumerable men
whose lives have been devoted to the
pursuits OF peace HdNe hidhi1eotou III
themselves the loftiest ideals of manly
fortitude. heroism and sacrifice. 1t may
be true. as Baron Won Stengel says, that
military establishments are necessary
as national insurance against war, but
to cOncede that is not to demonstrate
that bloated armamentS are desirable
for their own sake or that peace, which
we must regard as the normal and ideal
state of man. is TO be stunned and con-
demned as an essential and intrinsic

NO MONOPOLY OF HYsTERIA.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When politicians throw ink wells
at one another it is attributed to those pas
sions which are inseparable from the
political arena" When the picked men
composing the faculty, trustees and resi-
dents of a university town engage in such
bitter and public wrangling that the only
solution is for the donor to remove his
100000 from them, no such complacent ex-
PLANTATION is possible.
If similar situation had arisen in any
women's college in this country the word
historical would have done yeoman ser
vice editoriaiIy-the whole sex would have
been argued unfit and lectured accordingly
IF picked women behave SO, should any
woman voter" we would have heard.
VIII you kindly explain why not ono
such generalization is deduced from the
present situation? WHY ''hysteria' occurs
to no one as the explanation?

THE EXCHANGE AND HOOKING.

The board of governors Of the Stock
Exchange will be wise not to leave the
Hooking pool scandal where the special
committees report, perhaps necessarily,
leaves it. 1t may have been beyond the
province of that committee to recon-
mend any specific punishment for the
participants in the pool or to use other
than very temperate language concern
ing transactions which the public re-
CARDS as more to the discredit of the
exchange than anything which had hap
pened in a long time.
The whole conduct of speculation is
on trial before the people of the cOun-
try as never before. \ bill is pending
at Albany TO forbid trading on z mar
gin" and, similarly, the attack upon that
other branch of speculation, dealing in
futures" on commodity markets, has
been unusually pronounced and persist
ent at this session of Congress. Such
revelations as those ia the Hooking pool
make difficult the part Of chose who
would defend legitimate speculation. It's
best friends among those who might in-
f1uence public opinion are almost ST.
fenced by the revelation that pool like
that in Hooking Coal could go on for a
year under the very eyes of the ex-
change governors. raising the price of
such stock from so TO more than 80,
without interference or objection from
the authorities of the exchange.
The exchange should show unmlStak-
ably that it does severely condemn
such practices, and it should seize the
earliest possible opportunity of making
if clear that they will not be tolerated
in the future and that it will punish
manipulation, not merely failure at
manipulation

ANTT-S4NITARY SUPERSTITION.

A strange and by no means creditable
SEQUEL to the recent controversy over
rhe proposed establishment of a tuber-
culosis ''preventoIIum' at Lakewood. y.
J., is presented i'll the reported op-
nosition to the establishment of n sana-
torium for tuberculous patients in the
open country in the northern part Of
Mercer County i'll the same state.
Bishop McFaul, of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Trenton, has secured an ex-
tensive tract of land on an airy and
we'll drained hilltop, and there purposes
IN create a great institution for the care
and treatment Of conSumptives by the
omen air method. His plans are said to
have the hearty approval of expert
musicians, but it is also said that
various property owners in a neighbor-
ing village protest against the scheme
as sure to depress realty values and
to bring a blight upon the region.
S1,ch objections are unfounded. There
is on the Pennington mountain" rs
the hill is commonly called, no extensive
building of disputed availability for the
DrrDOses of a sanatOrium; there is moth
ing but open neldS, Oh "HIIh h0" puilu
ings of the most approved type for their
special purpose will be erected. Neither
is there close at hand any considerable
community of an established character
to which the proximity of such an III
stitution might be prejudiciai or detrl-
mental The site is in all open. sparsely
settled agricultural country, mile or
two from even so much as rural VII
lage
The notion that a we'll conducted sana-
torium for tuberculous patients estab-
lished in such a place would give the
region bad name or be source or
danger to the neighb0ring villagers is
reminiscent of an unreasOning superSn-
ton which should long ago have van
ished 1t is probable that in each one
of the nearest villages where sentiment
against the sanatorium is said to exist
there are several cOnsumptives, freely
going about, who in their uncared for
conditions and habits are far more of
menace to the public health, or more
likely to cause infection, than the sana-
toril1m would be with thousand ill.,
mates.

THE NET EARNINGS RULE.
