sarIes Head Porter.
nlustrious Potentate Sarles of Hills
boro, former governor OF North Da-
kota, was in his element this morn
ing, bidding all his friends farewelI

Jones OF zuhfah temple who also
holds the title OF second cook and
cuisine artist
Governor Sarles has arranged many
novel features OF entertainment for
the members of the party aboard the
Imperial de luxe. In his hand this
morning he carried a copy of some
revival hymns which had been pre-
scented to him for use on the trip by
the Fargo lodge OF Elks. The sing
ing Of the selections in that volume
by the entire party, including the i'm
perial ~potentate, will be anon the
first numbers on the FIVE days pro-
gramme of the trip.
There were a large number OF
Shriners and their friends who were
unable to accompany Mr.. Treat and
the rest of the party on the trip who
gathered at the station to see the
imperial potentate for the last time
before he relinquishes that Office
which is about the highest in the
world any nan can reach In private
life.

Washington, April 29.-As the time
for the democratic national convention
draws nearer, speculation as to the
d~emocracy's probable candidate for the
presidency becomes rife. All is uncer-
tainty. Thus far woodrow Wilson and
Champ Clark have bagged most OF the
instructed delegates. Governor Mar
shall Of Indiana has the votes of his
own state; Oscar w. Underwood has
the delegates from Alabama. Then
there are many uninstructed delegates.
Neither Wilson nor Clark will come to
Baltimore with anything like a two
thirds majority of the delegates TO the
convention pledged to him. A big fight
is promised, and it may be necessary
ii would not surprise many OF the old
wheel horses OF the party IL Bryan
should be nominated. He still has a
large following. Mayor Gaynor has
also been talked of, but he has said
that he will not consider a nomination.
The ave active candidates for the
presidential plum point proudly to
their records. Governor Wilson's rec
ord III politics has been short, but dur
ing his brief sotourn in the New Jer-
sey statehouge he has achieved much.
His followers point TO the workmen,s
Compensation act, the presidential
preferential primaries. the laws pro-
vtding for the regulation and control
OF corporations and other good meas
ures which Wilson forced through the
New Jersey legislature, and say that
this record entities him to higher
responsibilities.
Champ Clark's boosters are proud
Of the Miseourian's record In the
house OF representatives. They, too,
are certain that he is cut out ia be
the best president the country ever
had.

THE DEADLY MATCH.

Unless It is altered or repealed the
new safety match ordinance Will go
into effect on January /. That ordl-
nance prohibits the manufacture or SAFE
in this city Of white sulphur matches'
mr. "wind matches" and requires the
sticks Of all matches TO be prepared so
that there shall be no "afterglow" or
live coal when the fame has been put
ont. It is an ordinance to protect the
beoltb of matchworkers, but quite rs
much to protect the lives Of consumers
and property in this great city.
officials of the Municipal Explosives
Commission. Of the Fire Department,
and. social workers know that much
effort IS being made 10 have this or
dinance repealed or at least postponed
as TO the time Of taking effect. Manu-
facturers Of matches complain that the
use of the process necessary to comply
with This ordinance will be somewhat
more expensive than the old methods.
IT is said that dealers are carrying
large stocks Of the old style matches
which they have been unable 10 sell
vet. That is unfortunate. But when
this ordinance was passed ample time
was allowed to them to dispose of sur
plus stock. The safety Of the commu-
nity is of more value than the stock or
some dealers or the profits of manu-
facturers. A report Of the National Fire
Protection Association is authority for
the statement that matches kill more
persons annually than the dynamite
output of the country. 1t would he
worse than foolish to wipe out or
weaken any measure which can help to
prevent such loss Of life.

RESPECTABLE DANCE HALLS.

The meeting Of more than score or
keepers Of respectable East Side dane
ing places with view TO a supervision
of the conduct Of their patrons and con-
certed effort to drive disreputable dance
halls out of business is sensible move.
1t might be extended with profit TO
other sections Of the city. The authorl-
ties do what they can TO supervise these
places, for which there Is an unques-
toned demand in the life Of the city.
Various volunteer organizations Of So
cial workers lend their efforts also to
the maintenance of proper moral con-
ditions in places where the young Of
both sexes mingle familiarity But the
.prOprietOrS and their employees who are
decent and desire to conduct decent es-
adjustments can do more than city au-
thorities and social workers put to-
gether, If they will.
Free and easy dance halls, run in
connection with or adjoining saloons,
are recruiting stations for the white
slavers." Their evils are obvious, and
there are enough places whose pro-
prletors care more for the dollars than
the morals Of their patrons to give all
cheap public dance halls bad name.
Resultant criticism hurts the good ones
more than the bad ones. Their proprie-
tors have themselves to blame, for they
thoroughly know the conditions in their
line Of business, and by proper appeal
to the authorities and use Of public sea-
timent can keep their business reason
ably free from people who use it only
for Legitimate profits. The fact that
they have realized this and have taken
steps to cooperate to better conditions
Is hopeful. Reform from the inside Is
the kind Of reform that counts.

FOUL AIR IN SUBWAY
An Appeal for Relief from Dangerous
Conditions.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The power of the press is invoked
by the suffering people OF New York TO
ventllate the subject OF the present dan
gerous condition of the air in the Inter-
borough subway until means have been
adopted 70 make It safe and III to breathe.
We have a Board OF Health, created
and maintained for the purpose OF safe
guarding the health OF the people against
the menace OF a public nuisance.
We have a Public Service Commission,
created and maintained for the purpose OF
safeguarding the rights OF tho public
against imposition by transportation COM
panles.
What has either OF those departments
done 10 compel the marlborough subway
to adopt means 10 remedy the present
nuisance?
Arc the new contracts now being pre-
pared by that commission for the new
marlborough tubes making the necessary
provision for their proper ventilation?
An analysis OF the subway air was
made and submitted TO the Medical So
ciety OF New York. and it was found to
DO dangerously polluted with germs OF
ulStdsc Gleu steer uuS-, pciAAohS dlihS W
lungs, throat and eyes. And this condi-
ton is forced upon the people by cor
poration receiving its franchise from the
city. and which is earning for its stock
holders more than II per cent on tho
money invested.
The London tubes have satisfactorily
remedied their previously bad condition
by putting into operation suitable air
cleaning plants, so that 100000 cubic
feet OF air charged with ozone is forced
through the tunnels daily.
The necessity for immediate action Is
urgent to compel the Interborough COM
pany 10 remedy the present menace to
the lives and health Of nearly one million
passengers daily. who are obliged to use
Its tubes, though they are stifed and pol
soned In the act. Physicians assert that
tens OF thousands of people are now suf-
fering from influenza and eye troubles In
this city, due TO the foul air In the Inter-
borough subway.
The press can earn no greater gratitude
from the suffering public than by forcing
this issue to victory for the people.

SLANG AND SLANG.

Radcliffe College student, VINO Is
also a playwright, comes to the delence
of slang. What she calls good slang
she saws is necessary to the language
which without it would lose much Id
viyidness and force.
So far as slang is an addition 20
language, the substitution Of a ylvlu
word or phrase for colorless descrlP'
tion or characterization, it is an ele-
ment of force and athactiyeness Ill
speaking and writing. Much slang 10
crystallized metaphor and is n perfect
" legitimate enrichment of the vocaou-
larry. With the new cant phrase OF
notifies or society, founded on some
striking incident. nobody can reason
ablv find fault. But there is another
sort of slang, or another use OF goou
slang. which is not an enrichment but
an impoverishment of language, ana
against it not merely the sticklers tor
dictionary English but all who care TOT
the preservation Of the full resources
of our tongue should labor increasingly
That is the slang of Incidence, the
shorthand of speech. And 1t is far
more familiar than the slang when
colors and diversifies. How often we
meet with persons Of intelligence ana
ideas who have so fallen into the haOlt
Of using cant slang phrases TO express
their thoughts that those thoughts have
no distinction and definiteness! These
persons have often lost command or
words adequate to give sharp edge to
their meaning. They are like primitive
folk with only a few words in Stock
and those few words Of slang are made
10 do duty with all sorts OF different
meanings. Of which the speaker can
give no clear definition and the nearer
can gain no satisfactory concept.
BY all means let us keep the new pat
phrase which strikes of situation
and has some stimulating power. No
body wants dead language. But
neither should we have an angmic and
lame one. hobbling along on the
crutches of slang Our language has a
great variety Of words with shades OF
meaning which are going out of use,
and with them the clear thinking which
they call for. simply because lazy peo-
pie habitually substitute the rude sym
bollsm OF slang. which somehow or
other approximates their idea, for the
words which would accurately ex-

A HINT FROM MoNoPoLIsTs.

One Of the allegations in the govern
ment complaint against the Elgin
Board of Trade, the socalled "butter
trust" conveys a suggestion by which
many consumers might beat the mo-
nopoliSts ut their own game. 1t Is
charged that this board, which fixes
the market price" of butter-it Is
said arbitrarily and not on the OASIS
Of actual sales-quotes figure belo"
the fair price in spring and summer
thus enabling the dealers to store up
vast quantities, on which they make
exorbitant profits when the winter
prices are fixed we'll above the natural
level.
II the cold storage men can thus buy
cheap butter in the summer, large con-
sumers and even small consumers by
banding together can do the same
Storage warehouses are open to them
and they could lay in their stock at the
summer price, pay storage and insur-
ance and have it shipped to them as
occasion required. The cost of the
whole transaction would be well be-
low what they pay for butter in the
fall and winter in the New YORK mar
ket. This plan has long been employed
by some private consumers IN tnis
city, each Of whom uses only rev
hundred pounds in season. In one
case a man familiar with conditions Ill

more. their orders for one or halI-
dozen tubs or boxes Of prints, as the
case may be. Jumps them together ana
buys the whole consignment OF the
seasons best product at wholesale, mas
IT stored Just as the dealers DO anu
then each consumer orders the SNIP
ment of his part as he wants it.
This man is quito some trouble lor
his friends. Everybody hasn't such Il
volunteer manager Of cooperative en-
terprise TO rely on. But his example
offers a suggestion for the organiza-
lion of neighboring consumers VINO
could afford to employ an agent TO 90
the same work. This may not be prac-
ticable for most apartment mousse
dwellers. but it is entirely practlcaole
for those who have their own cellars,
or for neighbors even in an apartment
who together could divide a single
sbinment and use it quickly. Just so
far as such a plan was carried 1t would
tend TO reduce the demand at the
time If artificial high prices and so
bring down those prices to other con-
sumers as well as benefit the direct
mariners in the enterprise. Co-opera'
five buying is a powerful but prac-
ticallv unused weapon to fight monop-
DIV and high cost Of living.

INCLUSION FROM TURKEY

A possible and indeed probable re-
suit of the war in the Balkan PENN
sula may be seen in a marked and not
altogether desirable increase of migra-
ton to the United States. This, II 1t
occurs. will consist of Jews from
European Turkey, and particularly
from Salonica and other places Dor
dering on the Kgean which have been
conquered by the allies and which VIII
presumably be awarded to them as the
spoils of war. There are in European
Turkey probably more than 2oO,OOo
Jews: according to some estimates
nearly twice that number. In the city
of Salonica alone there are more than
10000 Latin speaking Sephardic Jews
descendants Of fugitives from perse-
cution in Spain and Portugal in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, ana
in every other considerable place in
Macedonia and Thrace there is to be
found a colony of Jews. In CONSTANT
nople there is Of course the largest
colony Of all.
Now. these Jews have enjoyed under
Turkish rule a large degree of religious
and civil liberty which, rightly or
wrongly, they do not consider them
selves assured Of under Christian RUE.
The Serbs. Bulgars and Greeks have
shown little tolerance for them, while
Rumania has been second only 10
Russia itself in savage discrimination
against them. 1t is not surprising,
therefore. that the Jews Of Turkey re-
gard with a diSquet amounting TO III
file less than CONSERVATION and panic
the prospect of coming under the rule
of any of those four nations. which
they have long and with reason looked
upon as their enemies, and that they
are already contemplating plans for
wholesale emigration. Some Of them
may go to COnstantinople, assuming
that It is to remain Turkish; though
they will be restrained by the knowl-
edge that that city is already over
crowded. and by the fear that it, too
NAV presently fall into Christian
hands. Others may 90 to Asia Minor
and TO Palestine, where their brethren
are already numerous and not unpros-
nervous. But the great majority Will
probably seek asylum in New York.
The incursion of any considerable
number Of them would be a cause OF
much embarrassment to the existing
Jewish community here, and in some
degree to the whole city, for the rea-
sons that they are chiefly very poor
and that they are more than ordinarily
unfamiliar with American ways anu
therefore untitled to enter promptly
and profitably into our economic sys-
TEN. OF course all who are legally
qualified TO enter will be admitted, Dut
II IS TO be feared that large proper
ton of them will only just pass the
financial standard and that they Will
materially increase the burdens OF
benevolent agencies in this already
much-burdened city.
