To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Kindly permit one OF the twenty
nine survivors Of Justice Brewers class at
Yale 10 attest the love. admiration and
honor in which he was held through life by
these old companions Of his hoyhood days.
Originally a student at Wesleyan Uni
versity, at Middletown. Conn, he entered
the class Of IS at Yale in the beginning
of its Junior year. He was a quiet Chris
tian gentleman, we knew him there. a
faithful, finished scholar. transformations
yet unremitting and devoted
His ability as a thinker made him early
conspicuous as a prize winner IN English
composition, and. while he was noted in
the classics for his rare grace OF diction in
translations, his grasp OF mathematics was
such as 10 carry him TO a position OF emf
nent distinction in the appointment ratings
Of his senior year. At graduation he stood
third in a class OF ninety-seven members.
and no man among his classmates was held
In more genuine admiration and pride by
President WOolsey and his other instructors
or more hopeful honor and promise by his
companions Of those delightful years
We think he has made good. We rejoice
I'm his noble record as an upright. honest.
faithful Judge; we are proud and grateful
that our American people have had so wise
and loyal a counsellor: we glory I'm the
watchman who so often has aroused the
nation with his warning word. alert alike
TO point the peril and 10 tone unseernly

Mr.. Pumpeily in his recent letter 10 votIr
paper has referred to one Of the great
questions upon which Justice Brewer smoke
with no uncertain sound-the matter OF
immigration-and it is marvellous how
many others were the topics OF vital inter
est 20 the welfare OF the Republic with
which his tongue and pen delighted TO be
busy.
We know what he thought Of war. and IL
is curious TO see how long ago his nrm
conviction had declared itself as we read
the title Of his Yale graduation speech.
"'The Estimate OF Life a Criterion OF Cfvii-
zation."
All along the years he has served and

AAIi-G MILLING AMENDMENTS.
At the hearings on the anti-gambing
bills in Albany the legal representatives
of the hookmakerS expressed their usual
concern for the man who bets box Of
candy or a pair Of gloves with his
sweetheart. But the proposed amend
ments 10 the law are aimed only at the
professional gambler. The Agnew-Hart
anti-gamhling laws have been on the
statute books for couple of years. and,
50 far as we can recall. no one has yet
been punished for bookmaking. al
though boOkmaking continues at the
raceracks and although the public
prosecutors have been active in securing
indictments.
The trouble is that the present laws
do not make il sufficiently clear what
acts constitute bookmaking. The profes-
sional gamblers at the tracks maintain
that inaSmuch as they no longer have
biackbOardS and stands their betting
is only friendly betting which does
not fall within the prohibition of the
law. Now. obviously the law did not
intend to prevent merely the writing
OF odds on a blackboard and the occu-
pyinS Of a stand. but it did intend to
reach just the kind Of friendly bet
ting" the bOokmakeT2s are now doing.
Senator Root, speaking in the United
States Senate the other day on a very
different subject-namely, the amend
ment Of the interstate commerce law
said: This proposed law puts its finger
Ion n simple. easily proved act which
lis in common experience found Or,li-
''narily 10 accompany railroad cOmbina-
''tions in restraint Of trade. and makes
that an offence" Now. what The anti
gambling law needs is 10 get away
from a general denunciatiOn of book
making and 10 put its finger on simple,
easily proved acts that in common ex-
perience accompany bOokmaking. and
declare them to be offences. There IS
difference between the man who bets
a box OF candy and the one who makes
a business Of frequenting the races and
laying wagers with all comers who are
properly introduced. and 1t ought not
10 be impossible 10 prohibit the acts that
are essential 10 bookmaking while leav-
ing the way clear for betting among
friends

the principle of revision laid down i'm
the Republican national platform. The
makers of the Payne law had TO depend
on interested testimony. and In the face
OF much confusing evidence they pre-
ferred 10 err, If at all, on the side of
overcautiousneSs. The Indiana Republi-
cans. carried away by the TervOr Of radi-
caIism. do not make sufficient allowance
for the obstacles thrust last summer I'm
the way of rational revision. In their
impatience they decry As inadequate the
substantial progress made last summer
i'm CARRYING into effect the Republican
party's tariff programme.
The Indiana Republicans want TO have
the tariff revised again after data can
he gathered exhibiting the real differ
ential in cost of production here and
abroad. That is also the desire of the
President and of the great majority of
the party. il being understood that the
examination into the cost Of production
shall be conducted by an impartial gov
ernment commission and that the data
obtained shall show t'e need of Il re-
adjustment of duties. \ new law could
not well be passed in the near future.
but in urging further revision and in
recognizing the necessity of providing
instrumentalities through which it can
nationally be brought about the Indiana
Republicans appear To be more in har-
mony with the administrations policy
than are those members Of the House Of
Representatives and the Senate who
have sought TO block the way to more
intelligent action by denying TO the
Presidents board any power to report
on the cost differential.

ONE MORE.

This time it is a maker of billiard
tables, whom n reasonable antecedent
presumption would have credited with
knowing better: whose natural environ

that he had cut his eye teeth years ago;
n man who appears TO have been pretty
well heeled and in no need Of replen-
ishing his personal treasury by means
of unusual financial enterprises brought
to his attention by hospitable strangers.
Yet he fell for it as eagerly as If he had
been a cashier on the wrong side of the
market. Indeed. no man who has just
