THE TEST OF THE MILK PLAN.

Health Commissioner Lederle an
nounces the intention of his department
to proceed against milk dealers who are
not obeying milk regulations adopted last
winter. These regulations were not
strictly enforced at once because the
Commissioner felt that to carry them
out then would result in a shortage Of
the city's milk supply. Apparently the
Commissioner thinks that he may now
REQUIRE the lower grade Of milk com
monty sold from cans III grocery stores,
delicatessen shops and other places to
be sold only to bakeries and restaurants
for cooking purposes
This milk forms large part Of the
supply consumed in the city, and it is
bought by those who cannot afford to
pay the higher price Of ordinary bottled
raw milk. To put stop to the sale OF
it will not be easy unless substitute
which will conform to the Health De-
partment's standards Of purity can be
furnished at the same price 1t is to be
supposed that the Commissioner mas
considered this and is sure that the sub
stitute will be Forthcoming. If 1T Is
not, the plan for raising the standard OF
milk i'm the city is likely, when actually
carried out, to encounter serious opposi-
ton from a people already burdened
with the high cost of living. The grad
ing Of milk and the prohibition Of the
sale to households Of milk which is unit
TO be consumed raw is an ideal plan, and
If It ever can be enforced 1t certainly
should be enforced In the hot season,
when impure milk Is especially harmful
to children. Whether it will be prac-
ticable will depend upon how cheaply
pasteurized milk can be prepared for
sale, for the bulk Of the people cannot
afford to pay any more for their milk
than they are now paying.

DOES THE COLONEL sWEAR7
New Jersey Resident Argues That by
GEORGE" Is Profanity.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: What is the exact significance of
by George!"? Good people have been
panied by it's frequent repetition OF late
by one whom they would not have eX-
pected to use such style OF language we
must understand the use Of such an ex-
preston as by George" TO be an appeal,
not. indeed. to one OF the royal Georges,
but TO St. George, to be our witness and
give his sanction to our utterances or take
such punishment as he may be able 10 In
fict. This saint more or less mythical In
character, IS supposed to have been Cap
padocian, and TO have lived in the third
century He IS said to have slain dragon
I'm Ldbya and in later medieval times to
have liberated some maiden from captiv-
ity. Subsequently he was made the patron
saint OF England
There are many similar expressions In
common use, as by Jove!" by heaven!
"By my soulr by all that's good etc.
Their significance can only be an appeal
10 such persons or thinss-false gods' sup
posed saints, or nonentities, as the case
may be-to give their sanction to our ut
terances Such expressions were also COM
mon IN the time of Christ, and He thought
proper 10 allude TO them in the Sermon On
the Mount. The Pharisees had taught that
bv the use Of such minor forms OF oaths
men avoided the sin OF perjury II they
spoke falsely, or the sin OF profanity II
they used such expressions simply 70 EN-
phasize and confirm their assertions
But certainly God cannot excuse q lie
although 50 expressed as not TO constitute
II legal perjury, nor can He excuse addt-
lions 10 our speech, calling upon fictitious
powers to sanction our utterances, with
out charging us with profanity
An oath made BY any OF the creatures OF
God. II false. is perjury in Gods sight Just
as much as II made BY His name; or Il
thus made 70 strengthen ones common
speech, T. profanity. To swear by
George" therefore, however thoughtlessly
done. cannot be indicated from the charge
Of profanity. That one should feel IT
necessary - fortty his assertions IN com
mon speech by such profane additions
would generally seem to betray con
eciousness Of e spirit not always truthful.
such corroborations ought never 10 be
necessary TO a perfectly sincere and up
right soul Ones speech should generally
be simply Affirmative or negative without
the consciousness OF any necessity TO vim
dicate It by these minor forms Of oath,
which. when intelligently considered. are
simply protane. f. T c.

ALREADY QUTBBLING.

Governor Wilson's supporters are al
ready beginning to worry about the
tariff plank Of the Democratic platform.
THE Springfield Republican" recalling
the embarrassments of 1S93-'94, Is trying
to read the platforms meaning out of it
with a sort of third-cup-of-cOffee casuis-
try which would be entertaining If it
were not pitiful. The Republican" says;
II Governor Wilson must fight tariff
duel with either Mr.. Roosevelt or Presi-
dent Taft, he has a much more defen-
sible platform declaration than Mr..
Cleveland had I'm 1892, when the last
great Democratic victory was gained.
Twenty years ago the Democratic tariff
plank began by saying that 1--WE de-
"nounee Republican protection as
'fraud-a robbery" and then came in al
most the Identical words the declaration
for tariff for revenue which was placed
in the Baltimore platform last week.
But there Is difference worth noting.
The tariff plank of 1892 said: I'VE de-
"clare Il to be a fundamental principle
"of the Democratic party that the fed
"eral government has no constitutional
'power to impose and collect tariff du-
"ties, except for the purposes OF revenue
only" The word only is omitted from
significant omission.
Our contemporary goes on to point
out how impossible 1t was for Mr..
Cleveland to live up to the party pledge
Even the original Wilson bill as it
passed the House and before 1t was
transformed into the measure Of per
fidy and dishonor" was not consistent
with the platform. In fact, the Demo-
Gratis were tied down by "the uncompro-
missing character Of their tariff for
revenue only declaration" Speaking
OF the Wilson bill 1.-THE Republican"
says:
And. of course, il was impossible to
carry into literal effect at any given
time or in any one bill, such a pro-
gramnne as the party's platform had
proclaimed. To transform the tariff from
q protective TO a revenue basis, broadly
speaking, is necessarily work Of years,
and, what is more, IL should be the work
Of years rather than months. The Demo-
cratic ideal Is a tariff levied for pur-
roses of revenue, but IL is not now pro-
posed TO realize that ideal by short cut,
at the ruthless sacrifice OF Legitimate
industry"
There's much virtue in an IF. Per-
haps, too, there's much virtue IN the
absence OF an "only." But that only
is about the littlest hole in the Iittlest
end Of horn that professed high

He GOT THE KEY

This romantic idyl we clip from the
chaste columns Of The New York
Evening Post:
Tell the story about the key, Governor
said Tumulty one night, when Wilson was
standing in front Of the correspondents
tent at Sea Girt exchanging an anecdote.
"The Governor was making speech one
night" explained Tumulty, and this story
took 'em just right. They went up IN
the air over it, ,,
why, we had been discussing the high
cost of living problem" said Wilson; ana
I had remarked what we needed to do was
to find the solution. Then this story popped
into my head, and 1 couldn't resist tell
ing IL:
tions which the English weeklies are so
fond of printing. with the query, What
would YOU do under the same circum-
stances| The hypothesis was TINS: A
young man has come TO call on young
woman, and they are sitting somewhat
stifTlv in the parlor, waiting for the mother
to come down and act as chaperon. as Is
customary in English homes. While they
are waiting, the young woman's nose De
gins TO bleed, and the young man, who
remembers having heard that piece Of
cold metal applied TO the back OF the neck
will stop the trouble. looks around the room
for a piece of cold metal. "
He sees the key in the door, and in MS
embarra ssment he locks the door in get
ting the key out He applies the key TO
the young woman's neck, but just at that
moment the mother comes down, and, find
ing the door locked, demands entrance. In
his excitement the young man drops the
key down the young womans back. Inc
question then was: What would you co
is you were the young MANI and l told
the audience that I thought the answer GER
tainly was: Get the key at any cost.
Governor Wilson was true to his word.
He did get the key at any cost TO mod
esty, to consistency, to friendship, TO old
convictions on public questions carefully
thought out and convincingly taught It
was a high price, but perhaps the key
was worth ito him.

THE CAuOPRIST CONVICTIONS

The chief significance Of the conviction
unprecedented length and extraordinary
characteristics. is the blow which il
strikes, or Is assumed to strike, at one
Of the most formidable organizations of
sheer criminality in the world. 1t would
Of course have been desirable 10 convict
the murderers if they had been guilty of
nothing more than individual and spo-
radio crime II would have been worth
while TO do so even at the expense OF a
two years trial. The Importance Of the
achievement is enormously enhanced,
however, when we consider that the
murders in question were a part Of the
deliberate practice Of large organiza-
ton which for scores of years has eX-
listed solely for criminal purposes, in
Guiding the maintenance Of brothels and
gaming houses, the levying Of blackmail
and the commission of robbery and muir
der
What il IS hoped that this conviction
will mean 10 Italy may be imperfectly
estimated 10y comparison with some
trials which we have had in this country
Perhaps that Of the notorious Molly Ma
CURES most closely resembled this,
though there was a marked contrast
between that organization and the mys-
ferrous league which Spain gave 10
Naples We are not aware that the
Molly Maguires ever included statesmen
of national rank and dignitaries Of the
Church, or that the government Of state
or nation ever entered into a treaty with
that organization as an adjunct II not a
coordinate branch OF course, the
greater power and higher rank Of the
Camorra make the victory over II the
more noteworthy and the more promis-
ing of good TO the nation which for
nearly a century has suffered this in
cubus.
How fully that hope will be realized
remains 10 be seen, as the essential Sc
Guence TO these convictions. The Ca
mora has endured heavy blows before
this without breaking. Fifty years ago
vigorous repressive measures were taken
against it, under which IL tlourished. In
1877 its extirpation was decreed. and
nearly threescore Of its leaders were ar
rested at a stroke, but II scarcely
fiinched and maintained its power unim-
paired. a dozen years ago II so con
trOlled the Naples government that that
municipality had TO be dissolved by royal
decree. But the power Of law has been
steadily increasing, and this latest blow
at the league Of crime may be effective.
It must be recognized that, having ex-
listed for three generations, the Camorra
has become an hereditary cult Of crime,
in which large numbers Of persons have
been trained to regard themselves as pos
sessing a vested right 10 indulgence in
their abominable practices. II is in this
respect comparable with Thuggee and
Dacoity III India and with head-hunt-
ing among the Dyaks SO complete has
been the moral perversion Of the Canon
rists that many of them may be pre-
sumed sincerely to believe that they are
entitled to commit robbery and murder
and that government interference IS
sheer oppression. II Is against such
moral perversity and obiquity that the
Italian government has to contend in ex.
tirpating this cult of crime

[ PROGRENSLIE


The press agents Of the Third Term
party are circulating with evident pride
as q sign Of the hold Of their movement
on progressive citizens. an item from
Kansas City telling how man seventy
five years old appeared at the Third
Term headquarters and was among the
first to enroll, saying: do you want
man who has voted the Democratic
ticket for fifty-three years." They
wanted him, and have put him in the
show window as an example Of the
mind to which Mr.. Roosevelt as the
political reincarnation Of Lincoln APP
peals.
Fifty-three years carry us back to
1859. Ever since then this "progres-
sive" has been voting the Democratic
ticket He voted against Lincoln, against
Grant. against Hayes, against Garfield,
against Blaine. against Harrison, against
Mckinley, even against Roosevelt. He
voted for slavery, he voted that the
war for the Union was a failure, he
voted with his party when 1t favored
greenbackism and wanted To cheat the
nations creditors, he voted for free
trade, he voted for 50-cent dollars. be
voted for anti-inlperlalism he voted i'm
partially for a Democracy devoted to
disunion, to reputation, to popuism or
TO Wall Street. Do the Third Termers
mean to suggest when they advertise his
accession that their party is the legiti-
mate heir to the policies and principles
to which this veteran has shown lifelong
devotion? The conversion Of the old
man must show how free the party is
from Bourbonism, just as the devotion
Of Finn shows its enmity to bosses.
