FREE TEXT BOOKS n
 BE INSISTED UPON
Hardship to Workingnan En- tailed in Present Anti
 quated Custom

One of the matters which will be brought up before the next session Of the legislature, and if not carried then, brought up at session after session, is the furnishing of free text books in the public schools, according to Kirke T. Moore, who was in Tucson last week from Phoenix. This question was before the last legislature. but failed 10 carry. The friends of free public education are by no means discour- aged by this and will keep at it un- til such time as a public school education shall be made absolutely free.
 For years past in most of the old states in the east there have been no expenses attached to an educa- ton in the public schools. In the west it has been different Here the school houses, equipment and teachers were furnished by the tax payers, but not so with text books. In some of the western states there were moves made in that direction but children had to show that they were too poor to buy the books be- fore they were provided and .ere thus made objects of cr>dcism for their school mates.
 Book Cost Burden.
 Where a worlingman or any man of small means is raising a large family the problem of keeping the children clean and neatly dressed and sending them to school is a serious one. It becomes more seri- ous as each child reaches the school age and has to be supplied with text books, especially as such books change from time to time and the ones used by the oidei children cannot always be handed down to the younger ones as the, proceed up through the classes Comforts and necessities have to b' sacrificed in the homes to give th' children an education in what ar' termed the free public schools. I is urged that until such time al such education Is made absoluteil free. the taxpayers are not doinl their full duty, that every child Il entitled as a matter of right to al education and that such should b' given fin toto at the public ex pense.

fact that II the examination OF passengers
baggage was abolished entirely. the num-
ber OF inspectors at this port could not be
materially reduced. The examination OF
baggage IS almost entirely extra work. and
when done I'm the daytime is more or less
at the expense OF efficiency in accom-
plishment Of the regular routine work on
cargo. When an inspector does baggage
work at night in nearly every instance 1t
Is after days work beginning at a. m.
on cargoes, and he is usually required TO
be on duty again next morning at a. m;
so that your comparison with men in other
lines OF business who work at night. all
night and every night is grossly unfair
as you must acknowledge upon analysis.
II may be true that night docking OF pas
senger vessels has come TO stay, and the
writer is OF that opinion, but when an In
spector who goes on duty at a. m. ana
finishes his regular days work at p. M,
is then obliged to go to some steamship
pier 10 examine baggage until midnight
and frequently after, and TO top 1t all is
then told that the exigencies OF the SER
vice require that he be on duty at a. m.
next morning, II is en- injustice that seems
TO me admits OF no argument.

4 GREAT ADVANCE.

Some of the greatest advances Of
civilization are made silently. They es-
cane the flourish OF trumpets, while
other much less important advances are
accompanied by incessant drum-beating
and pyrotechnics. The diminution of
the death rate is one Of the signal tri-
umphs of modern enlightenment 1t Is
also one of the most potent checks on
economic waste. The average age OF
each generation is being materially
heightened. and that result is chiefly
being reached by stopping the excessive
loss of infant life. Yet few persons
realize the extent of the benehcent
progress thus made or what 1t bas
meant in the way Of increasing the sum
total Of human happiness and efficiency.
A bulletin issued by the Health De-
partment covering the nine months or
1911 up to September 30 shows that the
death rate for this city in that period fell
to 1856 a thousand, as against 1927
thousand for the same period in 1910.
This years rate is the lowest on record.
III the five years from 1901 to 1905 the
rate was 10 for the city at large and
1915 for Manhattan Borough. But we
have to 60 back less than thirty years
! to 1SS1!S5-to find an average death
rate for New York City, then composed
/ of what are now the Boroughs of Man.
/ haitian and The Bronx, Of 275. Since
then the percentage Of loss by death has
been cut almost in half.
/ The steady reduction Of infant mortal
| ity has made possible this extraordinary
progress. In the nine months Of 1911
out of every 1000 infants under one
year there was a loss Of 1246 For the
same period in 1910 the loss was 1923.
But back In 1890 It was 227. Better
methods Of feeding and caring for In
/ fants have lessened the enormous sacri-
/ fees which used 10 be made 10 ignO-
rance Pure milk, fresh air and intelli-
/ gent attention have saved hundreds Of
thousands Of babies who could not have
endured the strain. Of bad feeding and
I lack Of outdoor life.
| There is still a great waste Of infant
/ life, for census statistics show that In
1909 in the registration area Of the
| United States deaths Of children under
one year constituted 191 per cent Of the
total deaths. Scientific opinion is rapid
| ly coming to the conclusion that infants
under one year ought not to die any
more rapidly than older children do, If
they receive rational care The striking
decrease Of infant mortality in the last
| two or three decades seems to prove
that enlightened methods will push the
rate lower and lower until the ordi-
nary ailments from which infants suffer
will lose their traditional terror. The
Importance of such a revolution in social
and economic conditions would be hard
70 overestimate.
New-York tribune., 1911-10-06
PAYING THE PENALTY.

Speaker Champ Clark has found an
unpleasant strain put upon his bound
Ing optimism since he coyly announced
himself as a receptive candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomination.
The Speaker said that he would not
think Of throwing anybody out OF the
window for the crime Of suggesting
that it IS only natural step from the
Speakership to the Presidency. Yet he
has discovered that there are many
Democrats who are ready to throw him
out Of the window for not resisting the
U-ls of the tempters who whisper TO
him that he is the man to lead the
hungry and thirsty TO victory In 1912.
Mr.. Clark, 1t appears, assented to the
action Of the Democratic organization
Of Missouri last year in naming ex-Gov-
error Folk as the states favorite for
the Presidential nomination. He is thus
precluded from seeking support at
home, and the friends of Mr.. Folk do
not hesitate to suggest that his seeking
support in other states savOrS of indirec-
tion and disloyaIty. They think that
even II he does not care to eject his
outlander well wlshers by way Of the
window he ought at least TO be firm
enough to show them the door.
It is significant that The COmmoner;
has also been talking good deal re-
Gently about Mr. Clark's 'indiscYetion"
in saying that he favored reciprocity
with Canada because it would lead to
annexation. Mr.. Bryan has regretted
the use made in Canada Of Mr. Clark s
break" and has succeeded in convey
ing the idea that a statesman who is
capable Of talking so unguardedly
would make dangerous Presidential
candidate. This must be a sore trial
to Mr. Clark, who just before the extra
session Of Congress met was basking
in the favor Of the editor Of "The Com
mOner" The Speakers recent expert
ences must convince him that he really
threw his own peace Of mind out Of the
window when he permitted the vision
Of the Presidency to come in at the
door
New-York tribune., 1911-10-06
THE "BOSSS" KIND.

The 'boss's" interests are well safe
guarded in the direct primaries bill per-
fected by the Democratic legislative
leaders in Albany. Under it the organi-
zation will have every opportunity for
self-perpetuatiOn. Party committees
will select their own successors. They
will put the party emblem over their
ticket on the primary ballot, and they
may use the party's funds to further
their own interests at the primaries.
The party emblem and the partys money
thus belong to the machine. Any ele-
ment seeking to displace it will labor
under the handicap Of having TO obtain
q large number Of signatures to It's pc
ttion, Of having its candidates placed
on the ballot without the party emblem
and Of having the funds of the party
used against it. Thus the Hughes direct
primary plan, which was designed TO
insure a free field and no favor at the
primaries, has been ingeniously turned
into one which gives the machines ad-
vantages almost equal 10 those they
now possess.
We say almost equal" for it seems
probable that the Democratic direct pri-
mary plan is at least an advance over
the present system. But even If it
should turn out on trial TO be what Sena-
tor Hinman called It, statutory boss
ism," it is at least a beginning. The
bill can readily be amended so as to give
the people the actual power Of making
nominations. Had Governor Dix been
possessed Of real convictions on this sub
ject and had stood his ground much less
amendment would have been necessary.

tlonment Of the functions which they

counterpart In previous charter revisions
In all parts Of the country. Taking
down the bars TO politics. as was at
tempted in regard to the schools in this
city and in the proposal for making the
local Civil Service Commission inde'
pendent Of the state commission, has
been one Of the things against which
the public has constantly been compelled
10 be upon its guard when charters were
being revised, while the petty Joker
is regular feature of such legislation.
It is no wonder. therefore. that the
public has become suspicious Of pro-
posed changes in the form of city gov
ernments and reluctant to see them
made unless great reason for them eX-
lists. The whole situation with regard to
charter making and revision in this
country is bad. Cities, with few excep-
tions, enjoy too little liberty In modelling
the framework OF their government,
which Is made the football Of politics
Perhaps. however, the experiments at
municipal freedom already being made
IN some states Will result at length in
greater general independence Of legis-
latures.

ITALY IN ,JTRILEE.

1t is not to be supposed that the Ital-
ians have undertaken the conquest of
TripOH In celebration of their national
jubilee. But it occurs in the year Of
that Jubilee. and at a time when the re-
born power has cause for exultation in
It's prowess and IN its material achieve
ments There is no longer ground for
doubling the success of the experiment
made by Victor Emmanuel, Garibaldi
and Cavour. Metternich's "geographi-
cal expression" has become a great ma
tion, and is making material progress
unrivalled in Europe save by Germany
alone. 1t is true that millions Of Ital-
fans have emigrated, and are now doing
the worlds work in allen lands, but the
race is prolific and vlrile, and there IS no
lack OF hands and brains at home
The greatest progress is being made
In the north, as might be supposed
Milan has regained its old Lombard
fame as one Of the financial centres Of
Europe. Turin is 10 longer the capital,
but it IS more prosperous than ever
CNii'tt - q ~ a. ~ rtiiit- as ~ tthlif

ice is rising to new life as queen Of
the waters. Ancient Ravenna has be-
come an important seat of both agri-
culture and manufactures. Indeed. all
through the northern provinces there
are progress and prosperity, and an in
creasiDg consciousness Of power. In
the south the national advance is less
marked, yet even there It is unmlstak-
able. IN the development and appllca-
tion Of electrical power, the white coal"
of a coalless land, Italy probably leads
all the world

oats,' and while these gratifying circum-
stances afford no reason for engaging in

LETTING THE VOTERS KNOW.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR Referring to the editorial in The
Tribune yesterday concerning the budget
exhibit. would say that 1t is the duty OF
tho city to publish from time to time what
the taxpayers money is used for. The
Berlin and Viennese newspapers give de-
tailed reports OF every working day OF the
aldermen, Assembly or Parliament. In
these reports you Will not only find for
what the money is spent. but you may also
read every word the members OF the re-
spective houses have spoken.
This is an item almost entirely omitted
in New York papers. The few reports
about really important undertakings this
city gets do not suffice. From these re-
ports in the foreign papers tho voters In
those cities know what tneir respective
choices arc doing for the welfare OF the
city. state or government

WARD WILL FIGHT RENEWED
Sister of Sculptor Argues He was
Dominated by His Wife.

The trial of the contest Of the Will or John
Q. A. Ward, the sculptor. brought by his
aged sister, Miss Eleanor Ward. OF urbana.
Ohio. was begun yesterday in the supreme
Court Mr.. Ward died on May l last al
the age OF eighty years. His estate was
valued at about $4,000. which he left to
his VIE. whom he had married four years
before his death.
Miss Ward lost when her contest was
tried before Surrogate Cohalan. In open
ing her case yesterday former Justice Au-
gustus c. Van Wyck, her counsel, said:
'"This will is not the last will of Ward
but was the result of the domination OF a
wife, who was not tho wife OF his younger
days but who was n scheming woman,
who married him to secure all his property
70 the destitution OF his family"
Mrs. Rachel NJ o. s. Ward. the widow
Of tho sculptor, is somewhat past htty
years. Mr.. Ward had boarded with her for
twenty-slx years before lie married her In
July 1906
