HOLD-UPs
More Numerous and Brutal Because of
Sullivan Law, One Man Believes.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The ugly thing about the hold-up
as practised nowadays is that the high
wavman almost invariably blackjacks his
victim as a preliminary to separating him
from his money or valuables, whether he
resists or not. Time was when man had
choice between giving up or getting
slugged. To-day he is robbed after he has
been knocked out, and may consider him
self lucky IL ne gets out Of 1t with whole
skull
As II :his were not bad enough, the
state. that cannot adequately protect the
citizen. practically prevents him from pro-
tecting himself by making it a felony 10
carry arms without a permit, with the
mistaken idea that this will act as de-
terrent on the highwayman. Experience
proves it does nothing of the kind. II any
thing, it has increased the number OF mold
ups The law against carrying arms with
out a permit has enabled the police 10
capture a few amateur crooks, but the
really dangerous fellows manage to work
in spite Of It. On the other hand, millions
of citizens whom the state cannot adequate
ly protect are denied the right to protect
themselves. HENRY IL. PHlLLlPS'

il is decidedly difficult now to keep that
heterogeneous body together on any
other ground than that one which must

is recognized by most people to have

TO preiudice are not lasting, especially
when tainted with insincere suggestion
or the good faith Of Mr.. Borden ana
his Ueutenants there has been no ques-
ton. but there is reason to belleVe tnat
they profited from a popular cialnor
which was unvarranted and misleading

to reduce the Conservative govern

MATERlALISM A HANDICAP

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: DR. Schurmans wonderfully excel
lent paper on socialism in last Sundays
Tribune cannot be disparaged or adversely
criticised and made to appear as the half
thinking product Of a socialist teacher.
one Of your correspondents presumes too
much when as in The Tribune Of Febru-
airy 20, he airs those curiously superficial
and narrow minded opinions which indicate
no capability I'm himself TO appreciate in
tellectually comprehensive sound reasoning
based well within what Or. Schurman ex-
presses perfectly when he says Man has
a bodily organism, but he is mind and
spirit"
Nothing better than this can be put into
so few words that should be constantly
recollected and agreed to by us all, and
which might awaken and clearly benefit
socialists In particular as against their
own senselassly perverse, materialistic doc
trines-doctrines by which they go con-
tlnually from bad to worse and by which
eventually they must fail to realize their
desires simply because of the incontro-
veritible truth that sheer materiallty begets
nothing OF that spiritual benefit that alone
makes for nobility OF character. decency,
ethical status and the true living refine
ments which history shows were altogether
continuous inclusons of lives well lived.

lT TIE SOUTH POLE.

Confirmation of the report OF captain
Scott's arrival at the South Pole would
not be at all surprising, since such an
announcement has been awaited for some
time OF all the expeditions now or re-
Gently in the Antarctic regions, captain
Scott's has from the first been recognized
as likeliest to reach the Pole, partly be
cause its intention was for more direct
dash to the Pole than that of any other
and partly because its route, It's equip
ment and the experience OF Its leader
and his aids were all regarded as on the
whole the best 1t may be added that
the hopes of the world have largely gone
out i'm favor Of Captain Scott, as the sue
cessor of the gallant and all but tri-
umphant Sir Ernest Shackleton.
The reaching Of the South Pole will
not be as sensational a performance as
that Of the North, because 1t has been
preceded and discounted by the Arctic
achievement and because the Antarctic
wilderness has not been the scene Of so
many ventures. so much heroic effort
and so much interest on the part of the
whole world as the North. In some re-
spects, too, ii will be actually less impor-
tant. since the significance OF the Arctic
Pole is geographically. meteorologically
and otherwise by far the greater, be-
cause Of its comparative proximity to the
chief countries Of the world and for
other reasons. Yet 1t will be OF very
great interest and of scientific impor-
tance. as a complement to the achieve
ment and the observations at the other
extremity Of the earths axis.
If Captain Scott has indeed reached
the pole, or shall do so, he will win un-
grudging plaudits for his energy, valor
and resourcefulness; from none more
heartily than from his competitors in the
same field

LlIPRACTICABLE.

Senator Dixon's challenge to the man
ayers of the Taft campaign to unite
with him in securing the direct election
Of delegates to the Republican National
Convention is an obvious effort to raise
a little electioneerlng dust. However
desirable it may seem to either the Ia1t
or the Roosevelt managers to have con-
vention delegates chosen at primaries, it
IS beyond the power of either or both TO
interrupt at this late stage arrangements
already made under the call Of the ma
tional committee IN most Of the states
and Congress districts The committee
acted with entire propriety In declining
to require I'm its call the direct choice of
delegates. 1t is the agent Of the last ma
tional convention. and that convention
had no idea of confding to it any dis
cretion TO alter the approved method Of
electing delegates.
The chief essential at which Repub
llcan policy has aimed since 1916 is the
untrammelled selection of district dele
gates, who make up about four-fifths of
the membership of each convention. The
districts are independent unlts. free from
the control Of state organizations and
state conventions, and in order TO pre-
vent any attempt to revive the discarded
init rule Republican convention calls
have contained for many years past the
provision that district delegates shall be
chosen in the same manner in which can
didates for Representative in Congress
are nominated.
Whether the district delegates and the
delegates-at-large are named by direct
vote or in conventions must depend ell
tirely on the laws Of the various states.
Wherever the direct method prevails 1t
must be followed this year, and wherever
he convention method prevails 1t must
be followed Unofficial campaign conf
nittees promoting the fortunes Of various
candidates cannot dictate to district and

THE ANTHRACITE MINERS.

The demands Of the anthracite coal
miners upon the operators are practi-
cally the same ones that have been pre-
sented every three years when the con-
tract between the two has come up for
renewal. The main object OF all OF them
seems to be restoring the strength Of
the union, which has declined almost TO
nothing since the peace was effected by
the commissions findings after the last
great strike. The demand for an in
crease Of wages is made 10 obtain the
support Of the coal miners, who proba-
bly, feel little interest in most OF the
other demands. As 70 its merits II Is
possible only to say that the pressure Of
the cost OF living must be felt in the
mining district as well as elsewhere
Obviously here is possibility Of cOmpro-
mise, If the spirit Of compromise exists.
as it always has in the past when the
conditions threatened as they do now.
The unions reason for seeking a year
" agreement instead Of three-year
one is that the workers feel the need Of
union only at the time when the re-
newal of the agreement becomes neces-
sary. The more frequent the renewal
the easier IL is for the union 10 main
tain itself. When three years intervene
the miners fail TO pay their dues and
allow their membership to lapse This
failure to pay dues is responsible for the
demand that the operators withhold q
certain sum from the wages of the
workmen to aid the union in collecting
dues. Without that system the union
feels unable to maintain itself in the
anthracite field. The abolition of the
conciliation board is also asked for in
order to magnify the importance Of the
union in representing the workers
For the present system, which the
operators are asked to abolish, it is to be
said that II has produced peace in the an
thracite region and ii has worked to the
satisfaction Of the miners; for If the
miners were not satisfied the union
would have no difficulty in maintaining
its membership. 1t is impossible to sym
pathize with demands which If granted
would tend to lessen the chances of
peace and which would subject the
country annually TO the uncertainty now
prevailing, instead Of only triennlally, as
at present.

state organizations or force them to set
aside the legal plan for naming dele
gates and take up an impromptu extra
legal one
Moreover. in majority of the districts
the machinery of election has already
been set In motion. 1t would be imprac-
ticable TO try TO interrupt 1t now, since
long before the managers could devise Il
satisfactory scheme for holding prima-
ries in states and districts where no legal
provision has been made for them more
than half of the delegates to Chicago
would have been elected.
There will be direct elections in enough
states to test the value which Colonel
Roosevelts managers ascribe to that
method. The primary system prevails as
to district delegates, at least, In New
York, New Jersey, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania. West Virginia, Ohio. ILL
nois. Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Washing
ton and Oregon, and the legislatures OF
Massachusetts and Maryland are consid'
ering legislation intended to introduce
the direct system there. Those states
will elect 400 delegates to the conven-
ton. SO the new method will have al
fair chance, as well as the old one. There
is no reason to think that Republican
sentiment will not find an adequate eX'
preston. whichever plan is used.

sI.LINGUAL ADVANTAGES

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: This country would fare better II
the use OF French was promoted, making
America a b-lingual rather than mono
lngual country. Ii is absurd for America
To make a fetch Of English. for English
is manifestly not It's mother tongue. The
United States has been Dutch speaking
French speaking and Spanish speaking, as
we'll as English speaking. II has also been
Dutch, French and Spanish colony IN
quite as true a sense as It has been an
English colony. The amount of English
blood in the American people is In
6nitesimaI Names are an utterly false
guide. The chief Anglo-Saxon names
among us are borne by negroes and Rus
sian Jews
Characterization" as the term now goes.
means "Anglcization." Most immigrants
would like TO become Americans, but not
carlcatures OF Englshmen. Many OF them
come from countries which have absolutely
nothing to learn from England. Latin
civilization is very much older and finer
than Anglo-Saxon civilization. Its most
striking feature is an utter absence OF
that III feeling between class and class
CdlleO SuOuutlsf NAidN oN9I'NA"A' "i''N''S
ligious sects called blgotry, and that racial
antipathy of which the South is revolt
ing example These brutalities of feeling
are among the Anglo-Saxon elements OF
our Inheritance. To men Of Latin breed
they are incomprehensible.
IL would be well for u, therefore. If, side
by side with English. we used French as
a key to European culture Europe Is our
motherland We are heirs to the civilza-
ton OF the North and the South. With
every opportunity Of being a nation OF
llnGulsts, we are the worst lingusts In the
world. Yet the educated man has always
been bl-lingual The Roman spoke fluent
Greek. The medieval Irishman spoke
Latin and Greek as well as Gaelic. Mira
cles can be done In the matter OF language
This could be made, II the people so de-
sired. a French speaking country In TWEEN
ty-hve years. The average man, II given
the opportunity, could speak and think In
a dozen languages BY gratuitously con-
fining ourselves TO the English tongue we
justify the superciliousness Of the Eng
lishman and close available avenues Of
culture upon ourselves.

CANADIAN REACTION.

The break In Mr.. Borden's majority
over the Manitoba bill is ominous of
considerable disintegration Of the gov
ernment forces at Ottawa and of reac-
tion against the somewhat extravagant
pretensions and delusions on which last
years election was won. The issue
over which the trouble has arisen is the
familiar one of Church and State,
with especial application to the public
schools. but it is perfectly easy to see
how similar disagreements might arise
over other matters and how unworthy
of confidence is a political coalition
which is artiflcially made and which
unites on some one issue factions which
on general principles are antagonistic.
1t was not difficult for Mr.. Borden to
secure a majority at the polls last year
OH the specious ground of resistance TO
American intrigues for annexation. But
