LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The very interesting controversy
concerning the protection and care of Our
forests and coal which has just eliminated
and over which there seems TO be some talk
about grave political consequences ensuing
is of truth watched with extended atten-
tion. and. depend upon it, with but 'one
ultimate result-the support and upholding
of President Taft by the average common
sense of the people of the United States.
Mr.. Pinchot, as a trained forester in
charge of an important bureau, was en-
thusiastic and earnest in season and out of
season in his pet work, but unfortunately
he ovcrrated his position and forgot that
bureau chief may do good work and work of
much general benefit. but that nevertheless,
this work may be done in manner so un-
becoming and offensive as to be insupport-
able. The average man has respect ana
confidence in the President Of the United
States, and Mr.. Taft's action in asserting
the proper dignity of his official position In
regard to bureau chiefs will be supported
by the plain thinking people of the nation

the Metropolitan systems report for the
year shows that the reduction in what
is known in the books as operating ex-
penses' was not due to a lowering of
actual operating costs, but to reduc-
ton in the sum applied out Of earnings
in the last six months of 1909 to main
tenance charges" Says The Times t:
This increase"-that is to say. the In
crease in net earnings-''according to
a. foot note is more than covered by
"a reduction in maintenance charges for
''the six months ended December 81.
1900. over the corresponding period Of
1905" Thus the improvement in net
earnings is not due to economies result
ing from handling few passengers. put

the property as a result of the large
sums the receivers have put into II. A

would convert a deficit into a surplus

sonable state of repair. Precisely that
has taken place. and that is all.

THE GoTERvoFs' RETIREMENT.

General regret will be felt at the an
nouncement in The Tribune yesterday
that Governor Hughes will under no
circumstances accept another nomina-
tion Although it was understood when
he became candidate in 1905 that he
would retire to private life ut the end
of his present term. the hope had grown
that he would see his way clear to take
denomination. and the politicians had
already announced their intention Of not
opposing him if he again became a can
didate. The reasons for his retirement
are compelling He has given four years
of his life when his earning capacity
was at its highest to the service of the,
public. and he is said to be about $4,000
poorer than when he entered office.
Mr.. Hughes may not call this a sacri-
fee. but as words are ordinarily en-
/ ployed it is a greater sacrifice than the
public should require of those who serve
it, The inadequacy of the salary of
Governor has been recognized since the
first term of Mr.. Hughes. The Tribune
repeatedly urged the passage of the bill
proposed two years ago raising the
salary or the once 10 S2ocpt, Dul thS
same small variety of politics that at
tempted TO stand in the way of his re-
nomination stood in the way of making
his compensation for a second term
adequate.
Politically the determination of the
Governor not to run again removes from
the field of consideration the Republican
party's strongest candidate. With Mr..
Hughes eliminated it becomes incum-
bent upon the party 10 make the best
possible record on which TO enter the
coming state campaign. With him in the
field it might be possible to postpone the
various Hughes measures whose passage
the public demands. and by renominating
him TO enter the contest with confidence.
But with any other candidate for Gov
ernor the party will be largely judged
by what is done at this session of the
Legislature. If his programme is treated
this year as it was last the party will
be embarrassed in attempting TO go be-
fore the voters as the party of Governor
Hughes.

4 COIERTl COMPLIMENT.

The New York World speaks slight
ingly of Republican instructions as "a
recreation, a diversion, form of a1nuse-
''ment" 1t seems to be a little upset be-
cause Republicans wage war with more
discretion, tact and reasonableness than
Democrats do when they divide against
one another. OF course, every good JEFF
fersonan scOrns halfway insurgency.
When he smteS his brother he loves to
smite him hip and thigh. and the greater
the casualties the higher the credit at
taching to the participants in the en-
gagement. The Democratic party and
the Republican party have both split at
various times on the same issues, but the
Republican schiSmatics have generally
found a way to dispose of the cause of
the estrangenent, while their Democratic
brethren have often forgotten the cause
while still maintaining the pursuit of
their ancient ntagonisms.
The Worlds" depreciation of the
capacity of the Republican party for
Sicilian and COrsican vendettaS is IN
reality convincing tribute TO the party S
efficiency. That efficiency is based on
reasonableness, and no party which lacks
reasonableness can command public con-
fidence in its dependability as an instru-
ment of government. The Republican
party has ruled long because the voters
know that it is not easily moved TO ran
cor or folly, and will not allow personal
contentiOusness to obstruct the execution
of its established policies.

WARJIAN CANALS"

One of the astronomers who improved
the exceptional opportunity for the
study of Mars afforded by the nearness
of that planet TO the earth last autumn
was NJ. Antoniad director Of an OBJ
servatory in Paris. who employed the
great glass at Meudon. France A sum-
mary of the conclusions to which his
latest observations have led him was
supplied to our Paris correspondent Il
few days ago and was printed in Mon
days Tribune. In estimating their value
1t should be borne in mind that NJ. An
toniadi is an honored member of sew
eral astronomical societies, and also tina
he made Use of the largest telescope in
Europe an instrument of far greater
magntying power than the one at the
disposal of Schiaparelli. the first OBJ
server Of the So-caled canals
The most important announcement
of the Meudon observer is that these
puzzllng lirres are not continuous. but
break up into spots of irregular shape
and distinctness when the condition of
the earths atmosphere is most favorable
to scrutiny. He also pronounces an
optical Illusion the network of mark
1nSs on the planetary surface which
Professor Lowell has described. SO faint
are the strange markings in question
that more than one professional star
%azer has regarded them as unreal. but
the genuineness of some of them has
been put beyond dispute by photog-
raphy. For that particular service a
large measure of credit is due to Pro
lessor Lowell. The most vital problem
to be solved, however, relates to their
nature If, as NJ Antoniad reports.
they consist of detached areas, there is
good reason for rejecting the suppositon
that they are artificial waterways and
for hesitating to believe that they arc
belts of vegetation, made possible by un-
seen canals. A lack of continuity in the
lines would be ia tai to the first of these
theories, if not to the cond.
Some of N. Antoniadi's professional
brethren are equally outspoken in their
skepticism. Others, for one cause or
another. are more reserved. but Pro-
fessor Lowell stands almost alone in
his Interpretation. In tho notion tina
other celestial bodies than the earth are
abodes of life there is a pleasing fas-
clnation. but before adopting 1t in any
particular instance it is fair to demand
scientific proof. So long as that which
has been offered in regard to Mars fails
to convince any considerable number of
astronomers, the uninitiated NAV we'll
be skeptical

THE REMOVAL OF SNOW.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: There Is no legitimate reason why
the snow should not be shovelled into the
sewers. There are always several man
holes in every block, and there is no reason
why these manhole covers should not be
removed and the snow shovelled through
these openings The temperature of the
sewers varies between 90 and 90 degrees;
therefore, the snow would melt almost as
fast as it was shevelled in. and what little
cid not melt would be carried away by the
natural flow OF water through the sewers
TO the river.
There may perhaps be a few sewers which
it would not be advisable to use this way.
but the Street Cleaning Department could
get the location of these from the Highway
Department.
When McDonough Craven was Street
Cleaning Commissioner he tried this method
of snow disposal. and found it worked ad-
mirably, but was stopped by some foolish
ordinance or bylaw in the charter. which
was evidently inserted for the benefit Of
snow grafters.
feel sure the present Commissioner
would like TO use this method of snow dis
posal if legally allowed to DO so. In my
opinion. the proper method of doing this
would be to start the gangs of men shovel
ling into the sewers on the principal ar
teries of travel just as soon as the snow
commences to fall, and keep them going as
long as it continues to snow; then those
arteries will be cleaned as soon as the snow
stops falling. and the men can be turned
into other streets.
This would not only effect a great saving
in the cost of snow removal. but would
also be of great benefit to the public on
account of removing the snow blockade in
much less time than by present methods

against such a contingency. The risk of
double death or disqualification is not
great, perhaps, but it is well worth elm
mating. Why should Congress not
couple some new safeguard against au
extinction Of the successioa with the
other changes now proposes
We cannot find much melt in other
criticisms made In the House on the
Judiciary Committees plan. 1t seems
to us altogether unfair TO represent the
change of dates as mere concession
To local pressure in the District of
Columbia in behalf of a fete day with
larger circus" possibilities. Were Wash
ington's wish 10 attract bigger crowds
to the inaugural display the only thing
to be considered. Congress would waste
no time talking about a change. 1t is
desirable. all other things being equal,
that the inaugural pageant should have
a more attractive and congenial setting.
But it is vastly more desirable that the
two sessions of Congress should be bet
ter balanced.
Representative Perkins. of this state,
raised the point against the lengtheninS
of the short session that it would give
two months more OF official life TO mem
bers of the House who had failed OF Ie-
election in the preceding November
Those who think that a Representative
who is about TO retire, whether beaten
for denomination or for reelection or
withdrawing of his own volition, can
not be expected to legislate with as
much intelligence or public spirit as il
he had just won another victory al the
polls may feel that such an objection
IS serious But it assumes a disqualiti-
cation for good service which need not
exist and which, where ii did exist,
would apply to only a small fraction of
the membership of any House. More
over. il would sacrifice the great adj
vantage of giving the reelected and
therefore still supposedly conscientious
ma iority of the House a chance to do
really serious work at the short session
TO the very small consideration of pre-
venting an extension of the post-election
service of the present "hold-overs' from
three monrhs to five months. The "hold-
over may or may not be an undesir-
able feature in Our legislative system.
The time:marking and do-nothing short
session of Congress certainly is an un-
desira bic feature.
