FIRST AID.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We have noticed an inquiry has been
made regarding the White Cross League, Oh
Baltimore, as to whether or not II has any
connection with the White Cross Hospitai
and Relief Association. of this state, ana
/ would be glad TO answer the question
through the medium of your valuable jour
nal.
The White Cross League, as we unoer-
stand 1t, is a foreign corporation whose
purpose is to stamp out tuberculosis.
The White Cross Hospital and Reher
Association is one whose purpose Is first
aid to the injured and is domestic corpo-
ration. Both associations are for good and
charitable purposes and are in no way con-
nected with each other.
The White Cross Hospital and Keller
Association is being built up. and all the
aid possible is needed in its work. Although
we have not solicited or sold merchandise
to increase our funds, we would be glad OF
help. No members are authorized 70 So
liclt on behalf OF the association except It's
duly authorized officers. We need mem
bers all over the greater city OF New YORK
who can be on the spot 20 aid In cases OF
accidents or sudden disability. The rooms

THEOSOPHY.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To all who are working for unihca-
ton along various lines IT is a hopeful sign
to read that Japan is considering for It's
national faith a triune religion. consisting
Of Shintoism. Buddhism and Christianity.
For those who are students Of compara-
tive religions and who thus perceive the
fundamental likenesses of religions such
news is cheering II means one step
toward co-opera ton and away from prose-
lytism and dlscord. Such cooperation
would cause each religion to gain from
its contact with the others, while in no
wise Iessening the vital and particular
message of each.
Theosophists have worked for this un-
tiringIy for many years. Their ideal is
splendid one, worthy Of profound respect.
In the following quotation Mrs. Besant
puts II in a. nutshell: "Theosophy goes to
all religions as a peacemaker; its first
work is to try TO bring about brother
hood OF religions, not destroying any, not
trying to make any less potent, but en-
deavoring to transform them from rivals
to brothers, so that they may become one
mighty family instead OF warning and
separate creeds."
Let us work for cooperation. which Is
brotherhood, which is love. which is God

4 SNORT WEIGHT FRAUD.

The custom Of selling food products in
packages has undoubtedly come to stay.
II promotes the convenience Of both the
dealer and purchaser, and protects
great variety of goods from the injury
and contamination to which they are sub
| iect If handled I'm bulk. Doubtless the
package adds somewhat to the cost OF
food. but the householder gladly bears
| that burden for the sake of the adyan-
| tage which he secures-provided the
package is honest and contains fixed
quantity of merchandise and the wrap
pings are not made the cover for the
operation of q short weight fraud.
Much complaint, however, is made that
packages Of apparently fixed and stand
ard size are gradually shrinking in the
market, and that the purchaser who once
got pound Of food in a package now
for the same price gets a smaller guam
! tity, without knowing it. Even where
no shrinkage has occurred, II is said that
many foods are put up in packages i'll
| tended 10 convey the impression to the
buyer that they contain a quart or q
pound or some other fixed quantity,
which they do not actually contain. At
recent hearing before the Assembly
Committee on Internal Affairs on Mr..
| BrOokS's bill TO regulate containers II
was stated that "the size Of packages
Containing articles Of food IS being cut
down. and so gradually as not TO be no.
| "ticed" This statement was not denied
by the opponents Of the measure, who
object to labelling their packages with
| statement of the actual quantity con-
| tanned. on the ground that it would in
vove the loss Of large sums now invested
| in containers. In that case they must
| he false weight packages. IF labelling
them correctly, whatever their present
size, would render them unstable, that
is proof that the public has been de-
ceived 1t bought the packages. even If
the quantity was unmarked on a sup
position as TO their contents. which the
seller knows was iii founded; while It
would not have bought them, as he also
knows, if it had learned the truth.
Bottles and cans should he marked
with their true contents. The honest
dealer as well as the consumer would
profit thereby, for the honest man now
can he undersod by the short weight
swindler, who covers up his fraud by
his method Of package. His fourteen
ounce box looks as large as the others
siXteen-Ounce box. So he tends TO drive
legitimate dealers from the field. New
York State. has too long been one Of the
happy hunting grounds Of the short
weight gentry, and no opportunity should
be lost TO drive them out OF business.

HELPING THE RJTND

If the State OF New York can afford
TO spend 100000 for its exhibit at the
San Francisco celebration of the open
ing of the Panama Canal, as bill now
pending proposes, the Legislature can
afford to pass Senator Burd's bill Great
ing commission to study and report on
industrial conditions among the blind.
That measure makes an appropriation OF
only $4,000, and the commission to he
appointed under it would serve without
pay.
Among all its many charitable instltu-
tiOns New York has none TO help the in
dividual who goes blind after reaching
maturity. The New York State School
for the Blind at Batavia teaches and
cares for blind children. The New York
Institution for the Blind in this city.
which receives state aid, does a similar
work. These unfortunates, on reaching
maturity, have been prepared for some
useful occupation at which they can sup
port themselves. The average adult who
goes blind, If relatives or friends cannot
care for him, is almost certain TO be
come an object Of charity for time at
least There are private associations
which teach the adult blind broom
making, chair Gaming and similar crafts
by which they can earn wages, but not
all such Organizations-and they are too
few-are as successful as that one in
Buffalo through whose efforts paying
broom making enterprise was built up by
and for the blind. The Burd bill was in
troduced to permit the commission to be
created under it to study the number Of
cases OF blindness in the state among
persons of an age permitting them to
work, TO investigate occupations and
conditions Of work suitable for the blind
and TO devise some comprehensive plan
by which the state might aid its blind
citizens TO become self.supporting rather
than objects of charity. 1t has the SUP
port of workers among the blind and
those familiar with the problem con-
fronting the sightless. 1t should be
passed.

ANTItSUFFRAGE PAssIVITY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your columns Sidney Ames asks:
why are the opponents OF woman suf-
frage so passive in the matter?' I'm many
dignifled, womanly ways they might he
more assertive," etc. This shows that he
has not informed himself as to the activi-
ties of the women who oppose suffrage;
and many others, who ought to be In
formed, are quite as ignorant as he. When
a drum is beaten in the street. or yellow
flag (hy the way, yellow flag is the uni
versal sign of hosptaD Haunted in your
face, you cannot help being aware OF IT.
But when the most important facts and
arguments are committed 10 print you may
remain ignorant Of them. unless you take
the pains TO read The anti-suffrage or
ganlzatlons have printed able books and
pamphlets on the subject, and circulated
hundreds of thousands Of copies. The au-
thors Of these include Godwin Srith,
Francis Parkman, Edward u. Cope, Her
bert Spencer Caroline +. Corhin. Mollie
Elliott Seawell, Ida Tarbell. Lillian Taylor
Kiliani, Helen Kendrick Johnson. Francis
NJ. Scott, Mrs. Francis NJ. Scott. Abram s

Most of these publications can be had by
applying to headquarters, at No. % West
59th street.
There are also two excellent anti-suffrsge
magazines-"The Remonstrance." of Bos-
ton, and THE Anti-Suffragist." OF Albany.
Moreover, when a suffrage bill comes be-
fore a legislature the antl-suffrage organ
izatlons send speakers TO oppose II. Mr..
Ames IS probably not aware how many
times these speakers carry their point. Suf-
frage has met with about hundred and
eighty defeats I'm the last fifteen years

PUBLIC OWN ERSHlP.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the current issue OF The Single
Tax Review" under the caption Publish
er's Notes" there appears the following:
The change from private TO public own
ership OF it's electric lighting plant by the
city OF Winnipeg has resulted in 60 per
cent reduction to the consumer. The
Johnstown (Penn) Democrat points out
that tho rate is just one-thlrd less than OBJ
tains in Johnstowu under private owner
ship"
| wish TO ask "The Review" THE DEM
ocrat" and the other s!ngle-taxers who
persist in riding their public-ownership
hobby how much more expense does the
privately-owned plant have to meet than
the publicly-owned plant in the form or
taxes and in the form Of graft to public
officials I'm securing and retaining fran
chises? Where are the taxes that the
Winnipeg plant used to pay coming from?
Has Winnipeg any guarantee that her
municipality y-owned plant will not be run
with an annual deficit, as is our mu-
niclpally-owned ferry? A private concern
can not run its business at a loss and then
shift the burden on to other shoulders, as
a public concern can do. Is there any
thing In Winnipeg to prevent the landlords
from raising the rents because OF the i'm
proved situation brought about by the ex-
istence OF cheaper electricity, just as the
landlords of ST. Louis did when their street.
car system was perfected?
1t is high time that single-taxers discuss
the single-tax question intelligently.

SUvD4Y COURTS.

Considerable uncertainty prevails over
the recent decision Of the Appellate Dl-
vision in Brooklyn declaring illegal tne
practice that has prevailed for years Oh
holding magistrates courts on SUNDAY III
this city and disposing Of cases OF sum-
mary Jurisdiction precisely as upon Tue
other days of the week The magistrates
Yesterday followed no uniform rule' some
of them conducting their courts just as
heretofore and some of them reIralhlhS
from hearing cases and dlscnarglhg OF
sentencing prisoners. The Brooklyn de-
cision rests upon the policy of observing
Sunday as a day Of rest and upon the
failure Of the law TO direct these courts
with sufficient explicitness to depart
from that policy.
If that decision establishes the law
then the legislature should amend it so
as to enable the courts to do the work on
Sunday which 1t has been their custom
TO do. This is too big city to get on
with six-day-a- week police courts. 1t
was found impossible 10 get on decently
without courts sitting at night Ihe
same considerations make Sunday ses-
sions necessary. To close the night
courts at midnight on Saturday and
hold no further sessions for trials until
Monday would he to open large oppor-
tunity to professional bondsmen, who
would reap a harvest from persons ar
rested for minor offences and denied the
prompt disposition OF their cases. The
work of the Sunday courts may fairly he
regarded as a work of necessity. 1t is
at least a work of humanity.
