only proof it can offer that he would not

afraid to tell where he stands with re

himself regarding the resumption Of

legitimate questions that have been put
to him concerning state issues.
About this mystery the little that is
known is unfavorable. He has been
Murphy's state chairman and is Muir

tions legislative spokesman was Grady.
He stands without protest on ticket

sham on the tariff issue. And the two

work on which he and his family depend
In setting up his railroad manager. who
is able TO make his own FERNS as a mo-,
of straw to show how free such con-
tracts may conceivably be. and ON the
strength of it deciding that the United
States cannot forbid railroad to exempt

ated by the federal statute Judge Bald

that it is competent for the workman

Ito bind himself not to be compensated
IF he lose life or limb in that occupa-
'tion.'
1t is also notable that Judge Bald
wins is personal and extra judicial
expression, just like Judge Taney's in
the Dred Scott ease; for. having decided
that the Connecticut coslrts had no
jurisdiction, the statement that the fed
eral law was unconstitutional was pure
dictum, effective only, like the declara-
ton In favor Of slavery. to discredit eff
forts for industrial freedom.
The present pitch of Roosevelto-

chanced TO remark that Benedict Arnold
was an undesirable citizen, Mr. Dix's adj
vocates would hail it as another example
Of his hablt of reckless slander There
fore we do not expect these enemies Of
Republicanism will do anything but de-
clare that Judge Baldwin has been reck-
lessly slandered. But 1t ought to be
clear to all fair-minded men that Mr.
Roosevelt's attitude and the attitude of
the Republican party in state and ma
ton, as shown in legislation. is In the
direction of proper relief to the great
mass of wage earners from the oppres-
sion of outworn legal doctrines Judge
Baldwin has done his best to prevent
the granting of such relief, and his atti-
tude is typical of those who see in every
challenge of old abuses a new menace

THE uTSErU DIRECTORSHIP.

=
Satisfaction must everywhere be felt
in the appointment Of Mr.. Edward
Robinson to the directorship of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. 1t is em-
phatically a case of the right man in the
right place His high abilities We're
known long ago to observers of his work
at the Boston Museum and they have
left deeper impression since he came
to the Metropolitan as assistant director.
AS the acting head of the museum for
the last year he has cOnCluSively demon
strated that the ideal thing to do was
TO make his administration permanent
Trained as an arch;POlOgist. he has won
his repute largely through the scholar
ship and taste marking his dealings
with classical art. but he has never been
betrayed into the pedantTy of the one
sided specialist. 1t is his breadth Of
mind. above all things. that gives solid
significance to his entrance into a larger
sphere of usefulness.
The character desirable in the director
of an art museum is favorite subject
of critical speculation, and the trend
toward a more or less scientific" study
of his problems has developed in many
quarters the view that the perfectly bal
anced official may be gradually moulded
into shape by judicious discipline. There
IS much that is plausible i'll this hy-
pothesis. but the mex Jrable fact remains
that the best directors are born not
made. Any dullard may master routine,
but il takes a personality to raise the
administration Of museum to the plane
of an artistic profession. Such man may
make his occasional mistakes. as wit
ness DR.. Bode and his ineffable wax
bust; but that only proves that he is a
human being and not an autOmat ton
The Berlin directors ObStinacy in error
must be deplored but no one having the
smallest appreciation of what modern
connoisseurship means can fail to yield
cordial need of admiration and graft
tude TO him for the weighty services he
has rendered to lovers and students Of
art
Mr.. Robinson. like DR. Bode, has the
courage Of his opinions, but in his work
at the museum he has never disclosed
any leaning toward the dogma of papal
infallibility. and we fancy that his tenn
perament of the scholar will always save
him from such a lapse as that to which
allusion has just been made. 1t will aid
him. too in carrying on that admirably
dispassionate policy which he has al
ready made familiar, giving due consid-

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR.
HENRY eEoRoEIsM RElnsuResNT.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The present city budget exhibit,
now open, is most interesting and instruc-
tive and one thing. among others, it proves
conclusively that we have in our city hun
dreds of thousands of people who are most
economically living here for they are in
capable of producing enough TO maintain
themselves well in the city. and the proc
ess of AnericaniZing them. especially in
the capitalized congestion land values of
Manhattan and sections of The Bronx and
Brooklyn, is reflected in the increasing
cost of the departments of Health. Char
tiles and Education. IN fact this remark
able exhibit clearly shows the cost to the
city Of our abnormal conditions of living
and working.
Is not much injustice done to our citizens
by the failure to secure to them any part
of the enormous increases in land values
crea ted largely by them? For my part
believe New York can afford all the schools
and hospitals and parks it needs. as we'll
as all necessary municipal service. when it
secures the revenues it should get from a
better system of taxation and expends
them wisely.
If We consider the one question of a
proper assessment of part Of the cost of
SuUNSNS upon the property DSHGllltus we
have plenty of food for thought. Take the
territory north of 135th street and the cost
Of the subway; one expert says the people
there could have paid out of their profits
on increased land values the whole cost OF
that part of the subway which runs
through that part of the city. and yet have
cleared for the lucky land owners over
S6I425, 0O0
This question of the taxation of land
values and an unearned increment, amount
ing in this city to several hundred millions
of dollars. is a vital one in foreign coun-
tries as we'll as here. Too many fortunes
are now being made here in greater New
York out of conditions which are actually
killing the users of the land. Here We
have a problem Of congestion of population
to solve more serious than any other city
in the world, and surely those who profit
by this unwholesome overcrowding. /, e. the
men who are exploiters of land values,
ought 10 he made to pay more than they
now do of the cost to our people OF the
losses and expenses OF the bad social eco
nomic conditions resulting from the same
overcrowding We now have an able Com
mission on Congestion of Population. and
I trust they will carefully weigh this whole
matter and give us a Just report.

CONCESSIONS TO THE JEWS
Gear Approves Plan to Enlarge the
Zone of Residence.

ST Petersburg. Nov. Emperor Nicholas
approved to-day a resolution adopted by the
Cabinet opening up new sections for the
residence of Jews. Heretofore legal resi-
dence of Jews has been restricted 10 that
section of the Polish provinces and the
ukraine marked by the original Jewish
segregation law and known as the pale.
From time To time exceptions have been
made in the case OF scholars and Jews en-
gagged in certain professions and trades
Recently a campaign was made to drive
back all Jews who were unable TO estab-
ljsh a legal right of residence.
Imperial consent is now given to unre-
stricted residence OF Jews in twelve dis
tricts in the provinces of Vitebsk. Volhvnia.
MohIlev. Poltava and Kherson, and the
town of Ekaterinodor. the capital OF Ku-
ban. The places affected are suburbs of
towns within which Jews have already
been permitted to live. The action of the
Cabinet resulted from petitions OF the in
habitants of the recently opened localities.
Who desired the admission OF Jewish resi-
dents as means of improving local busi
ness conditions.
