THE RAID on CITY HALL PARK.

4
The Tammany influences supporting
the Stillwell bill have procured IT'S pas
sage by the state Senate ana are ex-
pected to be equally successful III the
Assembly This measure violates every
principle of home rule and Is an inn
pudent attempt to force the haads or
the city. 1t is resented by the pubic
Of New York. If Governor Dix has
meant anything by his often expressed
devotion to home rule he will veto this
obnoxious bill if 1t comes to him.
What business has the Legislature
practically to turn City Hall Park over
to those who want TO put a monstrous
courthouse there, and to order the city
authorities to pay for the erection of
structure about the site, size and cost
of which they are in no way to be con-
suited? No plan has been suggested for
courthouse in the park which would
not give the people of this city cause 10
blush. which would not dwarf the City
Hall. diminish the unoccupled area or
the park and make impossible the de-
vclopment of an adequate civic centre
about the public buildings already
placed in this section of the city. And
the bill aims to make the carrying out
Of one of these monstrous plans in
evitable That is what the Tammany
influences responsible for its success In
the Legislature are committed to. The
alternative presented by the bill is only
delusion. the purpose of which is to
make the violation of the city's natural
right TO control the fate Of Its parks and
the expenditures from its purse seem
less harsh and indefensible.

THE CHURCH AND THE CHRISTIAN

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: It seems TO me that your editorial
in to-day's paper entitled "Heretics Again
Is based upon a wholly wrong conception
Of the Christian Church. If the latter we're
a. private club whose members have
right to make what conditions they like for
membership, your remarks would perhaps
be Just. The Churcts however, is not
private club; It Is the Church OF Jesus
Christ, who Himself set the standard for
membership, namely. by this shall all
men know that ye are my disciples, II ye
have love one to another" And | submit
that no group of men has the right TO form
Church In the name of the Master and
say to any one who loves that Master and
wishes to serve Him. you shall not come
In here" The only test that the Christian
Church has a right to apply Is loyalty 10
Christ, and loyalty to Christ consists In
loving and serving Him, not IN holding
some theological beliefs about Him
Therefore the man who Is Christian In
the only true sense of tho word naturally
claims the right to remain in the Christian
Church and in the branch OF it that he pre-
fers, for he has the approval Of the

would put up artificial barriers TO exclude
some of the Masters disciples, because
he followed not us" (Mark tx. $50. Let them
go out, il they wish. and form their pri-
vate clubs but let them not dare 10 call
such exclusive organizations by the name
OF Christ And let them take heed also
lest they come under the condemnation
contained in verse Kill Of the chapter re-
ferred TO above.
would sign myself an Episcopalan who
claims and intends 10 maintain the right to
remain IN the Church and be simply
a CHRISTIAN.
Diocese Of Long Island. Juno II, 1911.
[Our correspondent, though obviously
sincere. appears to beg the question. The
real point at issue is not the truth or
error of some theological beliefs nor
the propriety Of forming what our corre-
spondent calls private clubs" but rather
whether a man. having IN the most SOL
emn manner professed those beliefs and
taken sacred vows 10 maintain them, Is
privileged to repudiate them and still
claim the credit and privileges Of adhe
renee to them.-Ed.

CONSERVATION OF SILENCE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ! am thankful TO see word in your
paper OF June 10 upon the automobile horns
from the president Of the Society for the
Suppression of Unnecessary Noises.
There arc automobiles on the market
equipped with both loud and soft horns,
but In spite e this perfectly simple way
Of using a great noise only when necessary
IT is the almost universal habit Of drivers.
supplied with horn which could probably
be heard half milo away, to use it IN
such quiet neighborhoods as West End
avenue and its cross streets, and 10 use 1t
rot only when in danger Of collision, but
whenever they come TO a crossing of two
streets, whore many Of them give a deafen-
ing screech 10 save themselves the trouble
Of going carefully.
May Mrs. Rice be able to do something
TO stop this nuisance, as she has succeeded
so wonderfully In the case Of others!
