GERRYMANDERING Mr.. BARNES.

Our neighbOr "1he Sun" fell into a
curious error the other day in discussing
the Congress district reapportionment
upstate. Commenting Oh the division Of
Rensselaer, County, it said "The south
FERN half, actually a suburb of Albany
city, was combined with Albany County
ito make a district having 223, 700. and
"the remainder Of Rensselaer, combined
with Washington, Saratoga and War
'ren to make a district having 214,OOO
inhabitants"
What actually happened was not quite
what THE sun" indicates. The Demo-
Gratis who carved out the new Congress
districts had determined to place Will
lam Barnes, jr., in a Democratic or
doubtful district. So they took ten
wards Of tho city of Troy, with approx
mately 10000 population, and hitched
them to Albany County. The wards
chosen compose the strong Democratic
territory in Troy. They are not the
southern half of Rensselaer, County.
They are not suburb of Albany CITY.
They form chunk gouged out Of the
middle of Rensselaer, County, hung to
the northern part of Albany County. All
the rest Of Rensselaer,, including a large
territory 10 the south and east Of this
section Of Troy, was joined 10 counties
extending far TO the north Of these
wards. The part Of Rensselaer, which
/, really suburb Of Albany was Joined
TO the AdirOndackS. The resulting Al
district was considerably
larger than the Saratoga Washington
Warrcn-Rensselaer district. One or two
Of these Troy wards left with the Rensse-
laer district would have cyened the pop
ulation Of the two districts, but the Dem
ocrats couldn't afford to take out an
other Democratic ward from the wards
needed TO make probable Democratic
majority against Mr. Barnes. This may
not manufacture partisan campaign ma
terial,' 10 use The Suns" words but
when the geography is presented accu.
rateiy 1t seems to constitute a rather
artistic gerrymander.

VALUE OF MOTION PICTURES.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There is scarcely a day that some
newspaper does not give an account OF a
boy or boys being melted to an act Of
crime by witnessing a picture show. This
IS an amazing fact when we are Informed
that there are censors provided to turn
down any play with an Objectionable pict-
ure or motive.
II is only recently that we have realized
the scope of this entertainment. People OF
all conditions. adults and children, have
fallen into the habit of stepping into these
places for a little diversion. Beyond doubt
the motion picture is here 10 stay and
every encouragement and incentive should
be extended TO the film companies to pro-
duce amusing, entertaining ana even intel
lectual and inspiring plays.
The .enunciation Of all hurtful and In
furious ones cannot be too severe. These
shows are bound to be a great factor in
influencing the masses, and any play that
holds an audience and sends them away
cheerful and uplifted is a tonic TO life in
general hope the day will come when
the talent, perhaps We may say genius
that Is nut into these plays shall receive
recognition.
There are thousands, nay, millions, OF
naonIe who lead sad. humdrum lives, who
could never think of going 10 a theatre
but who seek this amusement to brighten
their lives. Let us see to 1t that we give
them something good-truly excellent.

"THE LANGUAGE OF LIBERTY"

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: From the American point OF view
the institution of monarchy belongs to the
raiected past, and the English language,
without disparagng its numerous excel
Iencies or forgetting IS many faults, must
ceaee TO be the national language OF Amer
,ca and take its honored place among the
foreign languages.
No language is wholly different from all
other languages. The French. Italian and
snanish are frequently referred TO as the
Latin languages" yet each nation jeal-
ously maintains its own language as the
custodian OF the nations history and lit
orature. Ard, again, so many words In the
English language are only slight modifca-
tious of the German that the latter may
no called the mother language, as Ger
many is. to England, the mother country.
The American people are preparing TO
establish an American institution, similar
10 the French Academy to maintain the
American language advocated by Noah
Webster. a laguage which will serve as a
suitable vehicle for imparting TO all men
the pure principles of human liberty and
American Independence. and that result
cannot be achieved at too early date to
please the writer. JOHN l.. NJ. ALLEN

THE FATE OF "MONA LISA"

4 II II 4 4 II OI hC-' - '%''r-''
More than month has now elapsed
since the theft Of Mona Lisa"-time
enough to carry the famous picture TO
the ends of civilization in the Old World
or the New. The search for it continues,
but with undoubtedly dwindling chances
OF success. Whatever the purpose of the
thief-and ii certainly was neither an
object lesson to the curators of the mu'
scum nor ransom-it has probably been
achieved by now; whatever the portraits
destination, it has probably been reached.
The masterpiece-thi has been more
than limited in Europe-may have become
the secret possession Of some country
man Of ours it may be hanging on the
wall of some remote cattle king or plant
er in South America 1t may be hidden
in Paris, in New York or London at this
moment, to come to light again after
many years, as did GainsborOugh's
Duchess Of Devonshire" 1t may have
been destroyed by the thief In a panic
over fancied or real danger Of detection.
The picture has passed unscathed
through many dangers, Brought to
Fontainebleau by Francis l, 1t was re-
moved by Louis XIV to Versailles, where
it was spared by the invading revolu-
tionary mob. Placed in the Louvre by
the government Of the First Republic, 1t
escaped. nearly a century later, the wan
ton destructiveness Of the Commune.
The allies who overthrow the first Ma
poleOn did not return It to the city OF
its origin, but left 1t in the possession
Of the French nation, the link between
its art and that of Italy. And now,
after all these dangers, prOfane hands
have been laid upon it in times Of pro-
found peace and fancied security and
have carried it off TO an unknown fate.
In specializing upon the probable nat
ure Of that fate-a speculation Of wide
scope-one cannot help remembering the
misfortune that befell so many others
Of Leonardos works. His fresco Of the
Battle of the Standard was ruined be-
fore it was completed his heroic eques-
TRAN statue Of Francesca Sforza was
destroyed by vandal hands; and Of MS
Last Supper" nothing remains his own,
after many reservations, but the beauty
Of its composition. It is curious, more
over, to remember that in the destruc-
ton of two of these three masterpieces
Frenchmen took a prominent part. The
archers Of Louis XII used the SfOrZa
statue as a target; the cavalry Of the
French revolutionary army turned the
refectory Of Santa Maria della GraZia
into a stable, and in Mark Twains ir
reverent words their horses clicked the
feet of the Apostles" Their care and
reverence for the Mona Lisa. apart,
Frenchmen have done much harm TO the
work Of Leonardo da Vinci, and-histOry
repeats itself Fortunately, after the
pictures almost miraculous escapes in
the past, the possibility remains that the
old saw Will in this case prove to have a
double meaning

CLEARING Up AFRICA

1t becomes increasingly probable that,
| as was at the outset expected, the Moroc-
co question will be answered by France
! taking over that empire, at first NOM
/ inally as a protectOrate and later as a
dependency. That will doubtless be the
| best practicable solution, since France
seems to be particularly well fitted for
dealing with the Berber and Arab tribes,
as she has shown In Algeria and Tunis ;
and as she already owns all the terri
| tories abutting upon Morocco through
out its entire land frontier all danger
of boundary disputes will be avoided.
| That under French control there will be
equality Of opportunity for all other ma
lions is, Of course, abundantly assured.
The complementary problem is the
price which France shall pay for Eu-
ropes quit claim TO that acquisition
That really means the price which she
shall pay TO three powers, which are the
only ones which have or are inclined to
assert a direct interest in the matter
One OF these is Great Britain. and it is
easy to assume that France will readily
assent to her presently making her title
10 Egypt in name what II has long been
I'm fact. The second is Italy, the recog-
milton Of whose claim upon Tripoli would
surely win her hearty acquieScenCe i'm
Frances acquisition Of Morocco. The
third, Of course. is Germany, whose de-
mands for compensation, or consolation,
are different from those Of the others in
kind rather than in degree.
1t may be that the whole Of that por-
ton Of the French Congo which lies be-
low the Sanga River. which is under
stood to have been Gcrmany's maximum
claim, is no more valuable than 1ripoli
Certainly it Is not comparable with
Egypt IN value. But the radical differ
erce IS this, that in sanctioning British
and Italian anneXations Of Egypt and
Tripoli France would not be relinquish-
ing anything which belonged 10 her.
while in the case Of the Congo she would
be giving up something to which she had
an undisputed title and Of which she had
had actual possession for many years.
Nevertheless, she may not improbably
consider IL well TO grant Mt least a part
Of Germany's demands in that region
ard reckon the Congo well lost in the
full winning Of Morocco.
II is true that the surrender Of that
part Of the Congo would leave France
no holding In Africa south Of the equator
ard no outlet upon the Atlantic south
of the Blight of Benin. Yet her Central
African holdings, in the Ubanghl-Shari-
Chad region. would still abut upon the
Belgian Congo and have access to the
sea through that practically neutral ter
ritory and by the acquisition Of Morocco
she would Lave, with few small ex-
ceptions, the entire Mediterranean and
Atlantic coasts Of the continent from the
Gulf Of Gabes to the Gulf Of Guinea.

WATERFRONT AND "HINTERLAND.'
A recent report Of the Department OF
Docks again called attention to The
largely antiquated and unsatisfactory
condition of the waterfront of this city
esppcialIv i'm relation TO means of inland
communication and transportation ans
n industrial establishments directly IN
terested I'm sea-borne commerce. Some OF
our new docks and piers are very fine
and the waterside streets bordering upon
them have been widened and well paved
Rnt the trouble is that the factories and
other establishments which receive goods
from and deliver them 10 the steam
Sims are remote from the piers where
the steamers land and are connected
with them only by the ancient systems
o. lighterage and trucking
The reason is obvious. The docks
we're largely established long before any
other means Of transportation was prac-
Hcable. There was nothing better in
those days than trucking and Tightening.
The city was SO small. TOO, that distances
were short and the task Of transpOrtd-
ton was not arduouS. The city grew,
and systems Of transportation were in
vented and developed; but city planning
was still an undiscovered art and The
work was done in a disconnected and
haphazard manner Fine docks were
built, adjacent TO nothing that was re-
lated 10 them Fine factories and ware
houses were built, remote from avenues
OF import and export. When at last the
need Of correlation Of systems was APP
parent. if was too late, or seemed TO
be. The city had grown so large and
land was SO valuable that general re-
construction Of plans would have in
VOWED a prohibitiye cost.
10 what extent a reconstruction Of
plans along the present waterfront, even
on Manhattan Island. may be possible is,
however. still worthy Of consideration.
III IL imperative that the formation of
right plans should be assured in respect

unoccupied and is undesirable for other
than industrial purposes There it will
be possible 10 have factories and ware
houses az the very pierheads, and 10
have spurs from trunk line railroads run
not only 10 the piers but along them, at
the sides Of the steamships, so that
freight can be swung from car to ship
or from ship to car directly. There was
in former years much neglect Of what
are now seen 10 be desirable if not es
