CLARIFYING PROCEEDING

The arrest Of the officials responsible
for the apprehension and sending to
California of the alleged union labor
dynamiters Is Il remarkable, but not, on
the whole. an unwelcome development
in this important case. The labor lead
ers will now have TO prove their charges
that the accused men have been Kid
mapped on abandon them. Aud il Will
not serve for them merely 10 show that
some technical mistake has been made.
such as obtaining warrants from court
of inadequate jurisdiction. for pubic
opinion will not be impressed by tech
ncalities.
The proceedings will afford q test as
to whether or not the rights at the ac-
cused men have been respected. we
hope that scrupulous regard has been
shown to their rights. The men are en-
titled to it, and in a case of such great
importance the utmost care should be
taken TO avoid any appearance Of irregu-
la,ity or arbitrary dealing that might
arouse prejudice and becloud the issue.
If the officials and detectives engaged
in this case have shown common sense
and profited by the lessons of the Meyer
Heywood prosecution the present inquiry
into their acts will clear the atmosphere
end dispose Of the existing attempt 10
arouse class prejudice.

THE PRIVATE SCHOOL.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For once I am compelled to dis
agree with your usually broad and logical
correspondent. II. S. Howard. In his letter
on Public and Private Schools he SCENE
to overlook the ant-democratic tendencies
of the latter in encouraging the growth Of
the caste spirit The private school. in
deed, draws boys from all sections OF the
country; but in doing II sometimes
tends to create a distinct class with feel
ing of superiority to those unable to enjoy
the special privileges of the private school
Correct instruction may overcome this ten
dency: and II may be granted that the
graduates Of many private schools are so
fortunate as to escape from this pernicous
tendency: but 1t represents menace
against which precaution must always be
taken.
The public school, on the other hand. IS
democracy itself and thus in the essential
conditions OF its structure far moro than
the private school. tends To make for the
very best sort OF Amerlcanlsm"

"vour subways would now be more than

faction of this whole city.' The Mayor
should take the public into his confidence
further and explain how this wonder
would have been accomplished. AT the
time he speaks Of no corporation was
making an offer to build subways thar
could possibly have been accepted ana
the city had no money with winch 10
build them. The $41.000.O00 released bv
the constitutional amendment was not
available until later. and even that was
not enough. for the Mayor says:
I called in my tax commissioners ana
said you have got to increase Naiues ia
this city. AS IL is now We nave 10

neorle. If | say to them We Will go ON
and build them without you. they VIII

I have got SSo00O,0O0 now; ana these
reopIe have GOT to understand that We
have $50 OOo. 900 and not talk quite so
high and l tell you they haven oee,
1alkirg so high since Mr.. Purdys TAX
rolls were opened.
Tins the city had no money when the
present administration entered ofhce, so
that the Mayor found it necessary to IN
crease the city's borrowing capacity IN
order 10 have the city's threat TO build
on IFS own account taken seriously, ana
that increase in the city's borrowing
capacity does not become available uhtii
the first OF next July. Still. the cheerful
hoast is made that if the public mad only
elected the Mayors Tammany associates
with him subway building would have
been begun in ninety days
The Mayor would apparently have 't
understood that he alone has no re-
sronsibility for the delay. Except for
the "blatherskites" and the unintelliSent
editors subway building would have be
gun long ago: for did not the Mayor
"know what had been done in the great
subway system in the city Of Paris.
and had he not lin mind definitely wha'
he thought ought TO be done, and ala
ne not work necessarily 'ln the back
ground" not being able 10 appoint him
self 10 the rapid transit committee of the
Board Of Estimate?
But in spite of all the obstacles there
i, cheering news. The Interborough
Rapid Transit Company will submit an
other offer. so good that it "will scarcely
bear any resemblance" to its present
offer We wish we could share the
Mayors optimistic belief that the end or
negotiations will he reached within .
week.

ABATJNG THE OPIUM CURSE.

The forecast Of 1.-The London Times
that in the course of the next two years
the opium trade in Picking will he eX-
,jrpuishot seems 10 he reasonable. and
,he beneficcnt achievement may he eX-
tended Throughout the Chinese empire.
II + 60 be doubted If history. ancient or
modern. presents more impressive
record Of the abatement of gigantic
popular evil by legislative and admins
trative means than that which is now
beinc made in china with apparently
irresistible force and with rapidity
which must cause some revision Of pre-
conceived notions Of the slowness and de-
Law Of the Far East. The most Jealous
and impatient reformer could scarcely
wish for greater expedition than is be
ing manifested in this new and au-
spicious cycle Of Cathay.
The abolition Of the opium traffic. and
consequently of the opium habit, is
necessarily being effected by cooperation
between China and British India. For
while the great bulk Of opium consumed
IN China has been Of native origin the
imports from India have been consider
able and have been susceptible Of in
crease TO counterbalance any reduction
in the Chinese product II was therefore
necessary for the two governments TO
cooperate. as they have been doing
Loyalty for the last three years China
is steadily reducing her production OF
opium and India is ut the same time
reducing her shipments of the drug.
The terms Of the compact provided for a
10 per cent reduction Of the original
volume each year for ten years. at The
end If which period total abolition would
be attained The annual Indian ship
ments had been about $1,000 chests. or
piculs. of 1913 Is pounds each. In these
last three years the government has com
pelled reduction in the quantity OF
=. 100 chests p year. So that by this time
the total amount has been decreased by
three-tenths.
China. however. despite the gratuitous
doubts Of her good faith which have
been expressed. is doing much better than
that and is far SURPRISING her promises.
Instead Of reducing her production of
opium by three-tenths in three years. she
has actually reduced il by more than
seven-terths. Her total product was
about $4,000 piculs year. or nearly
eleven and a half times the imports from
India she has now reduced IL 10 ONLY
10000 piculs. or less than three times
what the imports from India were. In
the province Of Shnn-Si which produced
10000 piculs. poppy growing has entire
ly ceased. III Sze-Chuen, the chief poppy

THE RIGHT TO CARRY ARMS.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: | have read with interest the let
ter Of George Gordon Battle published in
The Tribune recently. and am glad to
learn therefrom that mo one can take
from a citizen his constitutional right to
carry arms"
For the sake of greater accuracy, how
ever, I beg TO call attention 10 the fact
that in rural communities, such as the
township OF oyster Bay, in Nassau
County, the right of the people TO keep
and bear arms" is infringed to the extent
OF 81 10 n year. which the State Of New
York demands and collects as a hunters
license"
The point of this story is that, should I
venture upon the highway with an uncon-
cealed frearm in my possession in pursuit
of horse thieves chicken thieves or in
cendiaries. all OF which we have here, I
should be liable to fine or confiscation OF
my weapon did not possess a hunters

T1UU4NYIZING ELECTIONS.

The Tammany amendments TO the
election law which have been introduced
in the Legislature are probably not to be
taken seriously. Tammany is not In
majority in the Legislature. To pass
these amendments the votes OF upstate
Democratic legislators would be needed.
The latter will naturally want TO come
lack. and they will therefore be I'M
willing to fasten upon the state legisla-
ton deliberately planned TO harass the
rural voter.
Personal registration is not needed IN
the country, for the population is stable
and the voters are all known TO the elec-
tior officials and watchers Of both
parties. Whatever frauds exist III co'h-
trv districts they are not of the sort tnat
could be prevented by personal reglstra-
ton. for they exist only with the con
nivance of both parties representatives
at the polls. And TO compel voters IN
the rural districts to register personally
would be to put them to great ana un-
necessary inconvenience for polling
nIaces are not Just around the corner
from the voters residence as III the
cities. but often miles away.
The other provisions of the bill wonid
carry Tammany machine and Tanman!
methods into the upper part Of the stare.
They would interfere with independent
nominations and put them at the mercy
of Tammany officials, while excluding
the names of candidates from the inde-
rendent column--in case of fusion pe-
tween independents and one OF the resu-
lar parties. Altogether. the bill Is SO
monstrous as 10 lie absurd.
