1t could not have been otherwise. Yet
when did the union officers ever bring
unionist murderer, thug or dynamite
user to justice?
II is all very well for the members
Of this committee now to rejoice that
the McNamaras are paying the penalty
of their crimes. But did they not do
their utmost 10 prevent justice from
being done? Did they not try to make
a fair trial impossible by poisoning the
public with accusations whose purpose
was to intlame class hatred? And did
not some one of their syInpathlzers
actually attempt 10 defeat Justice by
cOrrupting .urymen? II Is not easy 20
place the legal responsibility for this
foul conspiracy. but the moral respon-
sibility rests with these men who are
now talking about their grief and 'hu
initiation" over the outcome.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir. on behalf Of the board Of trustees
OF the National Association for the study
and Education Of Exceptional Children l
which TO express our appreciation for the
attention YOU have given TO the proceedings
of our recent conference at New York Unit
versity and the meeting house of the So
ciety for Ethical Culture Your reports have
contributed toward making the important
problem Of the exceptional child better
known to the public. Such a campaign Of
Is very necessary, indeed.
Cur conference has made deep impression
upon the medical. social and educational
workers, and Il is now commonly conceded
that the point Of view which our associ-

entire problem which will make our associ-

THE "POSSTIS' ERRORS.

The "Rossia." of st. Petersburg maT
be correctly described as semi-ofilclal
newspaper. and it may take a correcC
view Of some phases Of the present dis
pute between Russia and America
Thus. referring 10 recent remarks ny
the Hon William Sulzer it observes
that "the views Of q section Of Congress
"are not the views of the entire popu-
"latIon." That is true There are many,
as the impressive Carnegie Hall meeting
the other night showed, who do not ap'
prove the demand for immediate cancel
lation of treaty relations between Russia
arC America, largely because they do
not see in such course assurance oI
advantage but rather danger of disad-
vantage 10 the very persons for whose
benefit il would nominally be taken. II
would be a mistake to suppose, however
that anybody in America would shrink
from that course if IL became apparent
that it was the only or the best means
left TO us for securing Just treatment for
American citizens.
The "Rossia" gravely errs in suggest
ing that America ought not to make SO
much fuss over a few Jews, and that
"the interests of only four per cent OF
"the population are not identical with
"the interests Of the whole United
Estates" II is not the principle nor the
policy nor the practice Of the United
States to ignore or TO neglect and saCrl-
fee the lawful rights Of any Of its cltl-
zens. however few they may be or how
ever insignificant from the Russian point
of view. The "Rossia's' suggestion
savors too strongly Of Mr.. Kipllng 5
Dirkovitch and his contemptuous in
sistence that the martyrdom Of single
soldier ought not to impair brotherly
relations between himself and his hosts.
This country will certainly insist upon
Justice for even single one Of ITS citi-
zens who may be wronged.
1t is an error. too, TO imagine that the
interests Of only a small part of the
population are involved. Even If that
were the case. those interests would I'M
peratively demand protection. But 1t Is
not the case. The interests Of the whole
popuation are directly concerned. The
Treaty of 1882 was not made by or for
a part Of this nation. but by and for the
whole nation, and p violation Of any pro
vision Of it is a grievance and a wrong
TO the whole nation. Not merely the
convenience and advantage Of four per
cent are involved. hut the honor and dig
nitv and rights Of the whole.
The "Rossia" is unwilling 10 regard
Mr.. Sulzer as representative Of the
whole American people. In that 1t may
be right. We trust that we are equally
right in regarding this utterance of the
"Rossia" rs not representative Of the
Russian nation and its government We
should be sorry 10 believe that they
shared its repellent attitude toward
friendly representations on the part Of
tbe United States" or that.they regarded
"a had peace" as the only alternative to
a quarrel. We prefer TO hope, with
the President that the Russian govern
ment is addressing itself to u seriouS
consideration Of those friendly repre-
sentations of the United states which
tho "RoSsg" 50 Scornfully dismisseS,
and that as result the grievances which
arc now complained of will he abated.

contrary, land and water lines lying
side by side. as along the ONO River,
both enjoy increasing prosperity. ot

action. II would be intoierable to have
the canal tolls dictated by the rallrOadS

be wrong to put the canal rates eXces-

The question of special privileges or

stands bound to give all nations equal

and is worthy of consideration. IT is
obvious that IL it were possible to adopt

the United States. Whatever is TO he

MRS, NATION.

Aunt" Carrie Nation had the
soldiers understanding of the value
OF surprise. She moved swiftly and
with force. When she wrecked a
barroom, the cyclone was over, as a
rule, before the objects of her at
tack quite realized who and what
she was. Arrest and prosecution
were in the nature of post mortems.
They but recorded the coming of dis
aster, did not save it or prevent its
repetition. The smokers she as
sailed, the bibulous being she re-
viled, the occasional pedestrian up
on whom she descended with the
weight of a falling safe, were rarely
prepared with other sheepish grin.
Only once we have ever heard of
Aunt" Carrie being nonplussed.
She met a young man upon the
stairs of a newspaper Office and
shouted at him: Sir, you're smok-
ing!" The young man gazed in as
tonishment at the cigar in his hand,
having politely removed it from the
corner of his face, and said why,
so l ami" Mrs. Nation glared at
him for a second and then swept in
dignantly on, having for once, it
would seem, no words to meet the
situation.
1t would be as idle to say that
Mrs. Nation did great good as it
would be foolish to say she did no
good. Her victories could scarcely
be considered final. But there was
work for her hatchet. There was
evil for the vigorous quality of her
muscles to meet. She passed away
leaving behind a memory of a pic
turesque figure and some conception
of the resignation of man in the
presence of a femininity choosing to
be a travelling devastation.-Tol

BILLS SIGNED BY GOVERNOR.

Governor Tener of Pennsylvania
has signed the full crew bill" "
which is the same as in New York
state. The bill, which was hard
fought by the railroad companies,
provides that not less than six men
shall be employed on trains of more
than thirty cars. There must be an
engine man, fireman, two brake
men, hagman, and a conductor.
Trains composed of less than thirty
cars will, according to the require
ments of the new law, not necessar-
lily have more than five members of
the crew. Passenger trains COM
posed of not more than three
coaches and a baggage car must have
crew of five men and this number
does not include Pullman car en-
ployees or porters. Passenger trains
composed of four or more coaches
besides the baggage car must carry
a crew of six men. The fine for
each violation of this law is 500.
He has also signed the bill ap-
propriating $1,000 for the construc-
tion of a dam at Promised Land
pond in Greene township, Pike coun-
ty. The bill was introduced by
representative Marvin.

THE APPEARANCES OF THE LO-
CI-ST

The Seventeen Year Locust or
Cicada has appeared in Pennsylvania
from the Susquehann6 river east
ward, and promptly upon schedule
time, as predicted by State Zoologist
H. A. Surface in communications
early this spring, Notwithstanding
the fact that many persons thought
this could not be possible, as they
did not consider this "locuse
year" Professor Surface explained
that this was not the re-appearance
OF the 1902 brood, but was another
brood coming from eggs laid in the
twigs of the trees in 1894.
State Zoologist Surface is making
special study Of this brood of the
Cicada or Seventeen Year Locust,
and requests information to be sent
to him at Harrisburg, giving the
dates of appearance and disappear
ance of the insects, some statements
as to abundance, the amount of dam
age effected, the extent of the area
covered, the enemies observed, and
other points that will help to make
complete the records and a detailed
study of these insects throughout
those portions of the Commonwealth
in which they may appear.
1t is recommended either to cover
small trees with cloth or netting or
wrap strips of cloth around the
trunks and larger branches of fruit
trees three years OF age or less,
where these insects are numerous.
This is to prevent damage by pierre
ing the bark and wood for the pur-
pose of laying eggs. They do not
feed on the trees as is popularity
supposed. By the last of June they
will have disappeared as suddenly
as they came, and the young hatch
ing from the eggs laid in the in
jured places of the living wood will
drop to the ground, and there feed
on the roots of the trees during an
other interval of seventeen wears
