LET SOCIALISTS REJOICE
Writer Sees Cause for 1t in the Con-
fes3ion of the McNamaras.

To the Editor. ~ The Tribune.
Sir. Every clear-minded Socialist will re-
ioice over the McNamaras' confession. the
opportunists Of the Socialist party have
burned their fingers through an unholy, not
entirely disinterested. alliance with craft
unlonism. They may know better next
time. Very puzzling that alliance was.
"Irnionlsts are workingmen," some Social
lists say; but so are "scabs,' many OF
whom would like to join unions but are
kept out on purpose through prohloltNe au-
mission fees. "a poor musician Tor IN
stance, must pay s10O in cash 10 join the
musicians union.) The unions policy is
akin to the trusts policy; whoever hghts
the trusts should fight the unions.
Moreover, socialism is a philosophy ana
system of political economy. 1t has noth-
ing in common with that futile attempt OF
workers to lift themselves up by their boot
straps, securing through strikes an advance
in wages Of 81 a week, compensated imme-
diately by an advance OF 81 90 in the cost
Of living. Neither has socialism anything
10 do with terrorism. Wherever socialism
has won. in Milwaukee and Schenectady,
il has done so through peaceful propa-
ganda and the ballot.
The Mcnamara question is settled def
nitely, I hope, from a Socialist point or
view. If they were guilty they lacked the
halo Of bravado of some daredevil Russian
terrorist They gambled and lost then
showed themselves bad losers. II they are
innocent and were bribed into confession,
as soma Socialists contend, God have
mercy on their souls! ANDRE TRIDON.

ONE WAY WITH HOOLIGANS.

Within three months last summer the
police magistrates of New York City
dealt with more than one thousand boys
and young men charged with rowdyism
and disorderly conduct in public places
and cOnveyances. Eighty-five per cent Of
those arraigned were convicted and pun
isbed. the magistrates showing com
mendable resolution to discourage hood
umism by the imposition Of workhouse
sentences for the older culprits. When
we have given all credit however, to
magistrates and police for diligent efforts
TO abate this nuisance Of New York life
we are safe in assuming that not more
than one.tenth Of the youthful offenders
were apprehended and punished. New
York has an army Of boys that are
"terrors" already. and on the way iC
become thugs; for such is the Hooligans S
progress.
But, unOvely as the young Hooligan is,
he is the natural product Of our worst
city conditions. 1t is unjust TO condemn
him utterly, because lack Of play spaces
or ANYTHING like real home life has made
him. instead of a normal mschievous
boy. little less than a criminal; it is bad
policy to wait to reform him until he
is hailed to the police court That is
the belief Of the Children's Aid Society,
one of whose many forms of activity is
the catching Of the human boy while
he is still amenable TO gentler influences
than those of the police. Set against rhe

trates passed sentence last summer the

hands and brains were trained in the vo-
cational schools Of the society. and Judge
If the preventive work would not be
worth the price paid for IT. even if the
disbursement for these purposes were
far larger than 1t Is.
The Children's Aid Society deals with
the boy problem through its industrial
that more than twelve thousand children
were enrolled last year; through its lodg-
ing houses for homeless boys. its even
ing classes In vocational work. and its
farm school. with its system of training
for agricultural work and the placing
Of its pupils. It's officers are in thorough
sympathy with the reformatory work
for boys, but they find that for the most
part the resources Of the society are suf-
liciently taxed with rescuing them before
they have arrived ut point where the
police. the courts and the probation Off
GERS have TO be invoked.
That this policy of prevention rather
Than of cure is justified by it's results :
indicated by the statement Of the secre-
tary of the society that only six Of ,he
eight thousand boys sheltered In It's lods
ing houses we're arrested in the course Of

teal completion of the work Of inyesti-
cation and survey makes il timely and
fitting. however. 10 say a few things
upon the subject, which need to be borne
i'm mind for q proper estimate Of the en-
terprise and its results.
one is that the work has been well
done. 1t has been done with thorough
ness and with fairness. with the aim Cf
discovering and disclosing to the world
all that it was possible 10 learn concern
ing the disaster and its cause. There
has been no attempt 10 conceal anything,
TO leave untouched any material portion
of the wreck, or 10 minimize the signiti-
canoe Of anything that has been found.
This is 10 be said with the more conf
dence and assurance because it appears
TO be the tacit testimony of the world.
All the world has known of the work
and has watched its progress. and from
no source, so far as we are aware, has
there come any protest against or un-
favorable comment upon the way in
which IL has been done.
Another thing is that there need be no
surprise or disappointment if nothing
new Of great Importance is found to have
been discovered. We suggested at the
outset and. indeed, long before the work
was undertaken. that it might result in
nothing that was not known before. We
do not say or conjecture now that such
is the case, though it is possible and not
improbable that it is The difficulty Of
determining with precision the causes
and conditions Of such a catastrophe
would be tremendous Immediately after
the event After the lapse Of more than
dozen years il is more than a dozen
times increased.
But even without new revelations or
information the work was abundantly
well worth doing. IL was worth doing

strating our readiness aud our desire 10

CONSERVING THE STATES FOR

While he was Forest Fish and Game
Commissioner Mr.. James :. Whipple
advocated an amendment TO the cOnsti-
tuition which would permit the removal
Of dead and down timber, the cutting
of ripe" trees. the leasing Of camp
sites TO the public at reasonable rates
under proper restrictions and the build
ing of trails and roads through the state
forest lands. His ideas were never car
ried into effect. and apparently never
made much headway. because they on
cOuntered the argument that anything
like what he proposed would mean the
ruin of the Adirondack Park. Mr.. Gift

There is one analogy between Presi-
dent Roosevelts argument for his

for his. Mr. Roosevelt, writing to Sena-

THE PROPOSED LAND TAX LAW
Designed, Writer Says, to Make Para
sites Pay for improvements.
the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter OF Professor John Bates
Clark presents a poor plea, but since you
follow II with an editorial article com
mending it and approving its reasoning,
IT calls for an answer.
II is probably true that, as Professor
Clark says, If the increase in the land
tax had been put forward support Of the
new measure might have been harder to
gain; but this only shows wisdom I'm the
promoters Of the new law. A new idea in
taxation is usually assumed by the un-
knowing TO mean increased taxes. which
makes IT easy for the interests to get the
people TO work against themselves. This
has been the case with Georges single
tax idea, which is sure TO be realized
sooner or later without the aid Of any
propaganda, just by necessity.
In the first point that Professor Clark
tries to make against the new tax law he
really surrenders his case. He even de-
clares that the confiscation involved
might astonish the promoters or accepters
OF the law. Then he naIvely asks
Would this confscation Justify itself NOR
ally by it's results? Is IT right TO seize part
ol the l1nd Value because OF benefit that,
as Is alleged would come to the occupants
OF buildings? II a large class of persons
needs relief. Is ii just policy to afford il
at the cost or another class. instead OF at
the cost OF the community at large? As a
question of pure ethics most persons would
answer this In the negative.
AS question OF pure ethics" no one
can answer this in any way but in the
affirmative when he understands it, The
other class at whose cost IL IS intended To
take benefit is really class.of parasites.

they are not I'm earnest when they talk OF

Sir: There has been just formed in New
