OUR MEANS OF SUPPORT.
He Doesn't Know Ours, but We Dc
Know His.


Know His.
Our very near neighbor, the hired
man, does not know where we get our
means of support" and remarks
that we can be seen ''loafing around .
This is where We have the advantage
of this self-appointed critic of our
mode of living. We do know where
he gets his daily bread. He takes
it out of the taxes paid by the people
of Mingo county We know that all
right. County expenses would be
eurtailed wonderfully by having him
board with the superintendent of
the poor; but then he might object
to the publicity. Such poverty strick-
en- youths as he should be more care
full in casting missiles at poverty. He
may suddenly find his own cut-glass
residence badly shattered.

OWES HIS LIFE TO SHERIDAN
Union Soldier, Wounded at Cedar
Creek Was a Prisoner Only Il Hours.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: / have read with great interest the
account I'm the Sunday Tribune OF the
Sheridan campaign in the Shenandoah Val
ley in 1864. Your description of the battles
OF Winchester. September 10, 1864. and
Cedar Creek. October 10. 1864, are, as / re-
member them, very accurate. / went

UTILIZING WASTE FERTILIZER,

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. When we consider the enormous
evil done with sewage now and the amount
Of good It might do in fertillzing the land
we should be appalled,. There are millions
of tons OF sewage fertilizer allowed TO run
into and pollute the lakes and rivers Of the
country Billions Of tons Of minerals, coal
and oils, Uncle Sam has-allowed the people
to take from his pocket" without protest.
Is il not right in reward for his patience
that the people should in return give him
fine green suit by using waste products in
ferullzlng fields and making them produce
instead Of one or two three or four crops
n year. so as 10 make him smile with con-
tentment at having his children we'll fed and
having his pockets bulge out with foreign
gold?
The Chinese are nation of nearly four
hundred millions Of people, yet, except in
the time of blight, their lands furnish
ample support TO the people Why? Simply
because the soil is saturated with sewage
fertilizer II is a splendid work retaining
waste land by irrigation, but is It not equal
lv necessary 10 improve the land already
under cultivation? The writer would esteem
Il privilege (since bis Journey through life
is drawing 10 a closc) to give to any per-
son or number Of persons interested in
this subject drawings with explanations,
and the textbook which has given him both
information and inspiration on the subject.

FOR OUIETER SCHOOLS.

An effort is being made by Mrs. Isaac
l.. Rice and others who have been asso-
ciated with her in kindred undertakings
to secure the establishment Of quieter
conditions in the immediate neighbor-
hood Of schOOlhouses. There is ample
testimony TO the fact that pupils and
teachers are in many cases greatly dis
turbed by the din in the midst OF which
they have TO do their work. If windows
are kept open ii is almost impossible TO
hear what it IS necessary TO say and to
study with attentive minds. If the win
dows are kept shut there is little or no
ventilation and the air is foul. The noise
made by street traffic is largely unneces-
sary. Probably 1t is not often viciously
caused, but is generally due TO Ameri-
can heedlessness. Much Of IT comes
from the bad tracks, fat wheels and
OverwOrked gongs Of the transportation
companies, much from improperly loaded
trucks and the shrill cries Of vendors,
and much from rough street surfaces.
Assuredly 1t would be possible TO stop
q great part Of the noise arising from
these conditions in the neighborhood Of
schoOlhouses.
1t is now earnestly suggested that
school zones" ought to be established
within which regulations similar TO
those already existing for the benefit Of
hospitals should be applied. 1t is further
urged that sites for school buildings to
be erected hereafter should be chosen
only after painstaking care has been
exercised TO find locations, otherwise
convenient, which will be least likely
to become subject to the disturbances
that It is important to avoid, and that
once selected, they should be protected
by restrictive regulations.
We are glad to know that this subject
is about TO be brought before the alder
men in the form OF q resolution. Per-
haps not much practical good can be
done forthwith. but we believe It is
possible, by persistent pressure resulting
from an aroused public sentiment, to
bring about great improvement with
out long delay.

CHARITY MOI HINpERED.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to the letter published IN
to-dav's Tribune signed ~. A H." I would
like to say that ~. A. H." is right In think
ing that the poor in this city should be
helped, and I would also add that the poor
are helped, and In a large measure, by the
same people who are supporting the New
York Geological Society Does he stop to
think that the money they give to the So
cietv does not lessen their contributions to
charity?
Money spent in identifying public parks
and buying and maintaining animals where
the people can see them is not wasted but
IS a great benefit TO the public, and 1t In no
way affects the gifts to the poor. II u A.
H" did not smoke, would his contribution
10 charity be greater because OF the money
saved. or does 81. A. IL" whltewash the
walls Of his home and give the money to the
moor which he would save on wall paper?
No. don't believe ne does, and yet the poor
are starving and wall paper is not neces-
slty to y. A. H."
The expenditures Of people who have
money does not increase the hardships OF
the poor, or would the fact that they did not
spend money in any way help the poor. So
good luck to the New York Geological So
cietv. and may It continue the good work
which II is doing.

DISCUSSING THE SHERMAN AOT

DISCUSSING THE SHERMAN AOT.
The only point upon which the speak
ers at the Economic Society dinner
agreed was In their dissatisfaction with
the Sherman law. When it came to adj
vocating changes in 1t they were at all
points Of the compass. Was IL worth
while to 90 on trying to preserve COM
petition? No two speakers agreed upon
that fundamental question. This disa-
greement as to facts and remedies re-
fleets perfectly the present state Of pub
lie opinion, and so does the agreement
to be dissatisfied with the Sherman law.
Some people think that law goes alto
gether too far and others that 1t does
not 60 far enough; while there are those
who have at least an uneasy feeling
that 1t does not accomplish what II sets
out to accomplish or that what 1t sets
out TO accomplish is not the right thing
In this unsettled state Of public opin-
ion legislation making any important
change in the governments attitude
toward Industrial concentration is we'll
nigh impossible There must be agree
ment in the public mind before any fun
damental change in the national policy
can be adopted. The most that IS posi-
BILE is some step Ike that advocated by
President Taft providing for the federal
Incorporation OF concerns engaging in
interstate commerce, with Il tentative
sort Of regulation In accordance with
the Sherman act as consequence. If
the discussion which now proceeds at
lively pace were only concentrated upon
that one question of federal incorpora-
ton It would seem to be feasible so to
form public opinion that a statute pro-
viding for it might be passed. Words
on the general subject are thrown to the
winds so long as the variance Of opinion
and disagreement as to facts exhibited
at the Economic Society dinner con-
tinue to exist.

billty for its government and Of bring
ing order out of Monaghan chaos. That
task in itself would be too great to be
undertaken save under q stress OF neces-

while the international jealousies and
rivalries which 1t would certainly IN

1t will be fitting, then, to take this
mutual desire Of China and her neigh
bors into account In estimating the
strength of whatever calls for interven-
ton may arise The revolution Is not
directed against foreigners, as was the
Boxer outbreak. From the beginning
both sides have been charged by the
leaders to modest no foreigners, and that
injunction has generally been observed.

ever injuries have been or may be COM

exacted from the responsible govern

that there IS any necessity Of going
further than that. OF course the state
of affairs may suddenly change and
crisis may arise at any time. For such
an emergency it is gratifying to believe
that our government will be ready. But
in the absence Of it, the appropriate atu-
tude of all nations toward China is one
of positive aversion to intervention OF
any kind and Of looking for justification
of a hands-off rather than Of meddle-

HELMETS TO PROTECT POLICE

ances which might arise as a result there
from. were firstly assigned to such duty.
On the 18th inst, at about p. m, be-
tween 10th and 117th street, in Columbus

strikers and others who threw at the po-
lice who were escorting and guarding a
section Of the ash carts in charge OF
strike breakers all sorts OF missiles from
their windows and roofs. which resulted

resistance offered by such helmets. there

which our police are ar present subjected

that these caps were never meant to meet

THE STATUS OF NATURALIZED
CITIZENS.

The renewed controversy over the
status Of American citizens in Russia
really involves two distinct questions.
One is the attitude of the Russian gov
eminent toward native American citi-
Zens, and more particularly native Ameri
can Jews. The other is its attitude tow
ard American citizens, and particularly
Jews, who are natives Of Russia and
have been naturalized in this country.
The attitudes Of the Russian govern
ment toward these two classes Of Ameri-
cans may be quite different, and it might
not be unwilling TO make a definite eX-
preston Of that difference and Of the
reasons for it, though it IS not known
that our own government would regard
# as convincing or would acquiesce in
the practice Of such discrimination be-
tween those whom il regards alike.
The old European theory was that no
subject had a right, without special per
mission, TO renOunce his allegiance and
become naturaliZed elsewhere, and that
if he did so he was liable to be punished
as a traitor That is to-day the law in
China. too, and any Chinaman who be-
comes a citizen or subject Of a foreign
state incurs the sentence Of death. In
modern times. however, largely through
the influence and diplomatic eXertions Of
the United States. which Of course recOg-
niZes the utmost freedom of the iudi-
yidual i'm such matters. most European
countries have modified their laws and
practice Great Britain, Germany, Aus
fria-Hungary. Sweden, Norway and
other states recognize the right Of eX-
narration France recognizes IL, but
not as giving exemption from military
duty unless by special permit and Italy
the same substituting for special permit
n special treaty on naturalization.
Russia. as might be supposed, clinss
more closely 10 the medieval principle
than other European powers. Mr.. Sew
ard IN 1867 earnestly strOye to make
naturalization treaty, but failed, Russia
declaring that her policy was to forbid
fine return 10 her dominions Of those who
had forsaken her protection by Rus
sian law, as it stin stands, a RUSSIAN
