has asserted
Admitting ii 20 be true that COnger did
take part III paying $1,000 to Aids for his

better than that of Aids
That conclusion is a misconception. The
briber and the bribed base rnalefactors

Admitting 10 be true what Mr.. Conger
has testified to, after that infamous trans
action neither he nor Mr. Aids was fit 10
be a member OF the Legislature as Mr..
Conger well knew. With a knowledge of
the facts the voters In their respective dis

THE RIGHT TO WORK."
Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your editorial of the 18th inst.
you ridicule very properly the demand made
by the English Labor party that the state
shall provide NJ public expense work for
every man who wants it. whether tEere is
any public work which needs TO oa done or
not
But, after all wherein does this demand
differ from that of an American rnanufact-
urer who goes 10 Washington and demands
that Congress shall provide at public expense
work for his factory. whether there is any
public demand for such work or not! Inc
Tribune is the great advocate Of msh pro-
lection. but only TO capital. il seems When

''the establishment of the principle Wouid
mean the complete establishment OF social
ism, with the state conducting all industries
and employing all labor" As for soclai-
istc control of industry, why we nave 1t
to-day in Washington. If Congress does, oy
tariff legislation, prescribe the industries
that shall flourish and the dividends that
can be paid in them. is not that socIa ilsm
just as it is socialism to find work for the
workless?
OF course. two wrongs do nor make

why advocate the first wrong and condemn
the second. since they both embody the
same principle? THOMAS SCANION,

A physician living at Summerville.
S. c., complains in a letter To "The New
York Medical Record" of what looks to
him like carelessness or ignorance on
the part Of some doctors who send tu-
berculous patients South to profit by the
climate A man whose temperature
ranged from 100 to 1O3 degrees, and in
one of whose lungs there was a cavity,
was kept racing about the streets of
Summervile by his wife. under the i'm
preston that this would DO him good.
Another man who was in nearly as bad
a condition seemed TO think that in or
der to get fresh air he must take a great
deal of exercise. and accordingly walked
four or five miles day, until the local
physician stopped him. From these anu
other instances THE Medical Records
correspondent argues that the quantity
of fresh air and food TO be taken should
be accurately prescribed for such per-
sons. and that patients should be eau
toned regarding things which are likely
to prove hurtful OF course, the indlVld-
ua.s referred to may have receiFeo
ample advice. but have neglected 1t.
