PASSING OF MEN TEACHERS
Appointments To- day Exhaust
the Eligible List.

The public schools OF the city are to-day
face to face with one OF the results Of
the equal pay law, which secures Ike
salaries for men and women teachers.
This afternoon the Board OF Education
will appoint as teachers in the elementary
schools, SSs women and q men. and with
these appointments the eligible list for
men is exhausted. 1t is improbable that
any more'm teachers will be appointed
for many years, for the waiting list shows
6SS women and no men. and Il Is pointed
out the reduction in mems salaries has
made It extremely difficult for men &c
undertake the work unless they have In.
dependent means.
Two years ago mems salaries were moro
than a third greater than they are to-day,
Before the equal pay law went into effect
a man teacher started at 500 and went 10
81. $50 in twelve years; now he starts az
$40 and may hope 10 reach $500 after
fifteen years.
With the withdrawal OF the men rom
teaching 1t seems probable that few
years more will see the decline Of the
Public Schools Athletic League, unless a
thousand or more women come forward
as coaches OF baseball, basketball and
track athletics.

FORTUNATE.

What blessed thing It is that Sena-
tor Penrose did not respond favorably
to the overtures to Join the third term
movement last January! If he had, the
world might have missed one Of its
most touching examples Of altruism.
Mr.. Nugent, who was working for Mr..
Roosevelt before Mr.. Roosevelt discov-
cred he was a candidate, tells the
Clapp committee that he was invited
on January by the colonel to visit
him in New York, that being about
six weeks before "the seven Govern
ors" met in Chicago, and that Mr..
Roosevelt sent him to consult with
Mr.. Richard Quay, who in turn
brought him in contact with William
L. Ward. Out Of these conferences
came the decision TO seek the philan-
thropic aid Of Mr.. William Finn for
the publication of politics. One of Mr..
Films methods Of purifying politics
was to eliminate from the manage
ment Of affairs Mr.. Nugent who now
says: 81 felt that If Penrose had gone
"along with the Roosevelt people n
imam by the name Of William Finn
would never have been heard Of"
This is probably true, for ii is clear
that a movement in which Mr.. Penrose
had a part would never have appealed
to a man with such a delicate sense
Of honor as Mr.. Finn. II Mr.. PenrOse,
after thinking Mr.. Wards invitation
over for the ten days allowed him,
had helped to let the people rule,
doubtless Mr.. Finn, in order to keep
himself unspotted from the world,
would have been forced TO remain in
active. Thus he could not have be-
come, with Mr.. Perkins, one Of the
underwriters Of the revolution which
Governor Johnson predicts, but would
have been forced to let bis children
grow up in an unreformed old world.
His S144,O00 would never have gone
to raise a monument to his devotion.
He would not have had place among
the angels"

SEES BEAUTY IN BRIDGE
Artist Finds Inspiration in Structure
That Others Have Called Ugly.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you permit a remark in con-
nectlon with the editorial reference in
your paper OF to-day to the Poughkeep-
sic bridge as "ugly"7
For many years have ridden up and
down the shores OF the Hudson and 10 my
eye this bridge has always been a pleasant
and In many lights and atmosphere a
beautiful sight. Often | have been In
spired to try TO suggest something Of its
beauty I'm a picture, and have at different
times made casual memoranda and color
notes 10 this end. Especially from the
west shore, say on hazy morning. It's
towering construction-strong, rigid, yet
light as lace, soaring up into the sky
and Its mile-long. airy perspective. simplI-
fed by air and distance into merely a
tracery of blue-gray on blue-gray. This
TO me is Just the opposite OF ugly.
And from the same side, in the blue
OF winters early twilight, when the city
has lighted its long rows Of lamps and
the gigantic bridge looms-well, you just
look. Mr.. Editor yourself, next time, and
II you bring TO It what we painters call
"a fresh eye" you are almost sure TO
discover something far from ugly"

CHEWS LIBRARY SOLD
H. E. Huntington Secures Col,
lection Rich in First Editions.

The sale of the library OF Beverly Chew
10 Henry T. Huntington, made public yes
terday, adds between three and four thou
sand volumes TO Mr.. Huntingtons collec-
ton.
The negotiations for the purchase OF
the books from Beverly Chew began more
than six months ago The library was the
result of forty years labor, and 1t was
not until a few days ago that Mr.. Chew
consented to part with IL.
Among the volumes are said TO be some
OF the rarest editions in this country.
They represent almost entirely the early
editions OF the works Of the masters Of
English literature. including first editions
OF Shakespeare and most OF the other
ElIzabethan poets and dramatists
There are also first editions OF Chaucer,
Spenser. Bacon, Milton. Dryden, Swift,
Pope and Addison The collection con-
tains Drydens copy OF Paradise Lost"
Horace Walpole's copy OF "Recreations
with the Muses." by the Earl Of Stirling,
bearing Walpoles book plate, and first
edition OF Chapman's "Pompey and
Cesar" which belonged to James Russell
Lowell, with Lowell's autograph and
numerous corrections made by him.
THE Mirror for Magistrates" published
in 1866, in the original vellum, is the only
copy In America.

"ASTOUNDED."

Ex-Judge Parker says that he was
"astounded" to learn that Mr.. Thomas
T. Ryan had contributed S450,OOO to
the expenses Of the Parker-DaVis cam
paign. Though the beneficiary of that
generous gift, Mr. Parker never had an
opportunity to record it on his tablets
of gratitude It's magnitude over
whelms him now, and he will make
beated entry of thanksgiving and APP
probation. The incident only shows
how little Presidential candidate may
know Of the secrets Of his own canvass.
1t is the familiar story Of a great man
marooned in his own household
Mr.. Parker professed to know
great deal in 1904 about the campaign
contributions being made to the treas
ury Of his chief rival. He got out on
the stump and talked about them, say
ing a good deal more than he could
substandate when called to account by
Colonel Roosevelt. He has since ex-
planned that a friend of his in Wall

raised there for the use of the Repub-
lican National Committee. How did 1t
happen that that trusted observer
failed to note and report the activities
Of prominent Wall Street personalities
who were pouring money into the Dem
ocratic committees treasury? Mr..
Parker's scout service was exceedingly
remiss In not furnishing him with In
formation about the receipts Of his own
agents. His position as a thrower OF
stones would be more tenable today II
he had only discovered what kind Of q
glass house he was himself living In.
1t certainly is astonishing that Mr..
Ryan's proclivity for contributing was
not more Of an open secret In Demo-
cratic councils. If Mr.. Parker was
"astounded" by the announcement Of a
gift Of $4,000 In 1904 merely to keep
the national campaign from collapsing
the Champ Clark managers must have
been equally "astounded" when told by
Mr.. Ryan himself of his willingness TO
contribute to the Speakers preconven-
ton campaign fund. There is no evil
dence that they fought shy Of Mr..
Ryan's assistance A fatal ignorance

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

OF course 1t Is an outrage" that
the Bull Moose is not to have the last
column on the official ballot, next the
blank spacel For that matter, it ought
to have had the first, so that the rule
Of the people might be enforced with
the least trouble to the people. But as
a boss-made law happens to give the
first column to the Democrats, the
party in power in the state, the Bull
Moose wanted the right of the line.
But the Socialist Labor party wickedly
and feloniously filed its nominations
subsequent TO the filing Of the Bull
Moses, and the Secretary Of State
persists in following his established
rule Of putting the Independent candi-
dates in chronological order Of filing
after the regular parties. That seems
to be a logical and impartial arrange
ment but he ought TO know that law
and custom are wrong when they In
terfere with the rule Of the people.
Who are the Socialist Labor folks, that
they should presume TO stand in the
way Of Bull Moose desires?
Yet the Progressiyes ought to be
above jockeying for place on the bal
lot where 1t would be easier for the
ignorant or careless voter to put a
mark under their emblem. They are
advocates OF ballot reform. They
would abolish the party column and
mix the candidates all up with their
opponents under the names Of the Of
fees to be filed, and leave the voter
20 pick out his favorites one by one.
They commend that plan in their plat
form. If that is good for other folks
why should they seek the Fictitious
advantage of an lend seat" on the bal

Armageddon are so stupid or so indiffer-
ent that they will 90 wrong II their

There is, no doubt, in the Turkish
statement that the allies are being
drawn on to a battlefield Of the Turks

patkin's unhappy Turing on OF the
japanese in Manchuria. But there Is
one radical difference between the two
cases. The Russians might have fought
the japanese about as well at one
point as at another, but it Will obvious
~ be far better for the Turks to fight
their foes on Turkish than on foreign
ground and in a region inhabited large
ly by Turks than in one whose popula-
ton is altogether hostile.
In one respect the strategic advan-
tage is naturally with the Turks. They
are on the defensive, inside the circle,
while the allies are attacking from the
outside Obviously a smaller force
within is equal in efficiency TO larger
force without, since the former can be
massed at any one point far more
readily and expeditiously than the lat

THE WAR.

News of the Balkan war must be re-
ceived with judicious allowance for err
rors and exaggeration, of which we
now know that some have already ap-
peared. But even then we must con-
clude that the initial advantages are
on the side of the allied assailants and
that the defenders Of the Turkish EN-
pire have suffered considerable loss.
Armies of all four powers have invad-
ed Turkey and captured certain places,
and Adrianople, from a military point
of view the second city of the empire,
is at the point of investment by be-
siegers.
All this was, however, to be expected.
It would have been astonishing If 1t
had not happened so. For the four
allied powers were fully prepared for
war, while Turkey was notably unpre-
pared for it In that quarter. They
had been getting ready for several
years TO take their old foe by surprise
or when she was occupied elsewhere,
and they succeeded In so doing. They
struck at a time when on account Of
her Italian war Turkey had actually
withdrawn her troops from the Bull
garian and Servian borders TO Asia
Minor or to the Hgean coast. 1t would
be miraculous for the defence in such
conditions to be as prompt and effec-
tive as the attack.
That does not mean, however, that

XIMENES MODIFIES DANTE
Hopes Art Commission Will APP
prove Monument Now.

Having made notifications IN the Dante
monument which he hopes will meet with
the approval OF the Municipal Art Com
mission, Ettorc Ximenes, the sculptor
who designed the work. now awaits the
second verdict Of the commission On the
first submission It failed OF approval
Mr.. Del Papa, one OF the leading Ital-
ians interested in the erection OF the
monument. said yesterday that Mr..
Xlmenes had placed the matter in the
hands Of Park Commissioner Slower, who
said he would submit II without delay to
the commission.
THE Park Commissioner said he would
recommend that the monument be placed
in Morningside Park" said Mr.. Del
Papa. THE site is at the north end Of
the park"
The Morningside site was originally
proposed as a possible one, and the Com
missioner named one In Colonial Park
and another in st. Nicholas Park
1--WE feel that Morningside is a much
better place than the two other parks, "
said Mr.. Del Papa.
Mr.. Ximenes was in a rush TO get home
because OF work that awaited him. Mr..
Del Papa continued, and, II possible, the
sculptor hoped 20 depart from these
shores by october 81.
The monument is still in a pier shed In
Hoboken, where 1t has stood for many
months.
In disappearing the monument the first
time the commission insisted that any
resubmission must disclose the inscrip-
ton to be placed on the pedestal
