Sir: Allow me TO thank you for your
wholesome editorial on the Italian jubilee
II is truthful and il summarizes IN a le"
masterful lines all the arguments IN iaFor
OF united ITALY. When | read that SEN

authority was swept away.
Thank Won again. Your editorial shows
that In this country there are men who
love truth and Justice and have proper CON

impartial history. Let those who in their
so-carIed editorials have shown unjust par

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There appeared on your editorial
mage of April letter from FLOYD Apple
ton. headed Character Of Magistrates. in
which he feebly tries to SHIFT from the
Mayor. the indisputable head of the Police
Department. the responsibility for the al
Iecad demoralized condition which was ex-
posed by Magistrate corrigan. and tags It
on 10 two unfortunate magistrates. whose
character. he says, tended to demoraze
the Police Department.
Such an EXCUSE is absurd and ridiculous.
What has the individual character of a
magistrate to do with the incompetency Of
the heads of the Police Department? This
kind of hattery does not tend Ia better
conditions. nor does il insure the safety of
the lives and property of citizens.

Senator Roots bill for the election of
United States Senators by n plurality
vote whenever a majority has not been
secured i'm twenty days is deserving Of
careful consideration. Seeing that Rep
resentatives Governors and Presidents
or Presidential electors-may he elected
by plurality votes il might be argued
that Senators should also he. And GER
tainIy IT is not i'm the public interest TO
have protracted legislative deadlocks
over them. the results of which are
usually unsatisfactory. At the same
time some plurality candidates have been
pretty poor material, and the provision
that the plurality rule should become
effective after twenty days would prob
ably prove an incentive 10 the main
tenance of deadlocks for that length of
time. when the man who had had the
plurality vote all along would be elected
There is good deal TO be said on both
sides of the question.

Now Mr. Stewart had heard that
you may stop mans snoring by

opportunity. So l waited until one
