Tile "CHRLSTNAS SHLP."

There is a strong appeal to the imagi-
nation in the performance of the Cunard
steamship Lusitania last week. in rush
ing across the ocean at racing speed,
laden with Christmas guests and gifts
and greetings from the Old World 10 the
New, and after a few hours stay i'll
New York waters hurrying back again
with Il corresponding cargo from Amer
lea to Europe. The great ship thus
played the part of sublmated marine
Santa Claus TO thousands of persons on
both sides of the sea.
That. however. is only suggestion Of
the inccsSant utility of vessels Of that
type: so large and costly that many
heedlesSly declared that they would and
could never he made TO pay, and that
the building Of such monsters would not
be continued. 1t is remarkable thing
for steamship TO cross the Atlantic
Ocean i'm less than five days. and would
be if she did it just once, and never
again. But it is much more to repeat
that performance again and again, as a
regular thing, until she has done it thirty
two times running. and all within Il
wear. That is what the Lustania has
done, or had done previous to the pres
ent round trip, which is her seventeenth.
She has maintained au average speed,
winter and summer, in both directions,
Of more than 24.5 knots. She has car
ried 1924 bags of mail matter and
more than 10000 passengers. and her
engines have consumed about 10000
tons Of coal.
These are tremendous figures and
they indicate the tremendous efficiency
and utility of such vessel. They also
indicate the cost of those qualities when
raised to such a degree, but they ineyi-
tably suggest that the cost is more than
repaid by patronage. Preach aS we may
the gospel of leisure and deliberatiOn,
the world i'm general demands expedi-
ton and will give its patronage to the
most efficient servitOrS. with compare
lively little regard for the cost. 1t
wants the best that can be provided and
is willing to pay for il. That is why
tile third pair of big Cunarders,' in
stead of proving. as was 50 confidently
predicted. the last Of the big ships. have
been merely additional incentives to the
construction of still larger ones.

CHRISTMAS IN THE ABSTRACT.
TOR Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. I do not agree with Eugene v
brewster as 10 how the patrons OF the SUI
wav. surface and elevated roads should
treat the employees Christmas week. lhose
employees desire nothing moro tnan
sauare deal at any time. other thah thdI
would merely embarrass them III MI
Rrewster and other well-meaning men
would make effort 20 inform the traNeHnhs
public that railroad corporations are not
the mean and thieving concerns that they
are believed 10 be the employees would not
have to bear the brunt of the resentment
due 10 this unfounded belief.
The capital invested in the railroads ana
the labor Of the thousands OF employees OH
the cars play a large part in the creation
of the great land values Of New YORK Cily'
Instead of penalizing the railroad corpora
tions for having furnished those improve
ments and the services OF thousands OF
men, by compelling them to pay millions
of dollars in the form Of taxes upon thelr
improvements and for having furnlshed
the services Of thousands of the best men
TO be found. the land values only shouid
be taxed The collection Of such taxes
from tho railroad corporations leads thefh
to refuse transfers and to "sardine their
patrons in order TO gain part OF tnose
millions. and to squeeze" their employees
for the rest.

nEnOCRATLC ECONONN.

The last Democratic national platform,
that of 1908. contained these words on
the subject Of economy:
We dcnounce the needless waste of the
peoples money which has resulted in
this appalling increase 1890 600 600 in the
appropriations for 190Sl as a shameful
violation of all prudent conditions of
government as no less than a crime
against the millions Of working men and
women from whose earnings the great
proportion of these colossal sums must
be eXtortcd through excessive tariff cN-
actions and other indirect methods.
We demand that stop be put TO TINS
frightful extravaganza. and insist upon
the strictest economy i'm every depart
ment compatible with frugal and efficient
administration.
What a farce the conduct of the Dem
ocratic House i'm Washington makes of
these professions of indignation at ex-
travagance and promises of frugaltty.
The session of 1908 increased appropria-
tions S90O00.O00 for all purposes to
gether The present House has voted to
add S7j.O0OO0O 10 the cost of pensions
alone, one great objection 10 the dol
lar-a-day pension that was heard among
the Democrats who voted against il was
that its beneficiaIies lived chiefly in the
North. which is tO say that there was
nothing in il for the Southern Congress
men. 70 remedy this defect the public
buildings bill will contain good deal
for the Southern Democrats. Could pro-
feSsions of economy he made more empty
than the Democrats in the House have
made theirs. or are about 10 make theirs
i'm their eagernesS TO draw upon the
country's Treasury i'm order to insure
support in their districts for their re-
nomination and reelection? When a
party which is on trial before the coun-
try. on its good behavior. exhibits such
Il cynical disregard of its professions.
who will put any faith in its promises for
the future?

SHELTERING LIBELLERS.

The minority of the Graham Controller
BAY investigating committee does not
cyaggerate when il calls the conduct Of
the majority encouragement TO libellers.
What else hut the propagation Of false
and scandalous charges can Mr. Graham
aud his associates have had in mind
when they sedulously shielded the au-
thors Of the "Dick to Dick fake from
exposure and from the public contempt
that would have covered them if the
facts were properly revealed:
The conduct Of the investigation has
been unusual in the extreme The occa-
sion for it was the publication of the
"Dick TO Dick" letter. It's authenticity
was naturally the first question for the
inquiry. But the committee avoided 1t
from beginning TO end declining TO put
upon the stand the author Of the article
I'm which the "Dick TO Dick" fake was
printed. and set out apparently TO sind
proof Of the Controller Bay charges, if
any could be found. Failing in this. it
abandoned the investigation, protecting
the author and publisher Of the libellous
attack upon the President from exposure
and public cOntumely.
Is the Democratic party in partnership
with libellers and muckrakers, that it is

URGES ANGLO-SAXON IDEALS
Dean Grosvener Warns New
Englanders of European Flood.

The annual service for the New Eng
land Society was held last night at the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine. Dean
Grosvenor preached the sermon, in which
he warned the society Of the increasing
difficulty ii would encounter I'm maintain
ing Anglo-Sa and puritanical ideals
against the enormous flood of European
immigration to this country.
He called the descendants Of New Eng
land and pritanical stock "the righteous
remnant" and said that in spite of the
besetting evils there was still the hope
Of remedy in the minority Of purer blood
ed American citizens. Like the ancient
seers Of Judea, said Dean Grosvenor the
Pmitans saw the evils that were coming
like the flood, but now, as i'm the days Of
puritanism and in the days of Judea,
there was always the rainbow Of hope
He defined "the righteous remnant" fur
ther as the individualistic force that has
been needed under every form of govern
ment which nothing could ever destroy.
We should fight for our public schools.
he said. against the Vaccinations of an
Italian hierarchy that is seeking to de-
stroy them, just as we should fight for
Anglo-SaXon thinking and Anglo-Saxon
action.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: IT was most gratifying To read your
editorial An Historic Deficit Ended -
wherein YOU pay merited tribute to POST
master General Hitchcock. The turning Of
this annual posto.iice deficit into a surplus
is one of the remarkable achievements Of
the present administration. II. IN addition
10 this, the Postmaster General obtains for
us penny postage and the parcels post. ne
will make the most ilustrious and valuable
record i'm the whole history OF the Post
Office Department.
One strong, practical argument that must
appeal to level-headed citizens for the re-
election of President Tar. is that IT VIII

CLEVELAND's PENSION VETO.
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The SUM-" correcting The Tribune,
says MIR. Cleveland vetoed a service PEN
sion bill in 1887. and the document is
model TO any President disposed to follow
his example"
Why not tell the whole story? The truth
is this President Cleveland had before
him at the same time two pension bills
one of these would benefit Northern men.
the other (amost exclusively Southern
men. Both bills had been passed by an
amcabe agreement between the Northern
and Southern Congressman. Either side
could have defeated the others bill. With
these circumstances I'm view. it is perfectly
plain that the President ought to have done
one of two things-either have signed both
bills or vetoed both. But Mr. Cleveland
signed the one that was to benefit the South
and vetoed the one that was to benefit the
North. HISTORICUS.
