ANSWERS NEEDED.

1t is 10 be hoped that Mayor Ga!nor
Is as adept at answering questions ~
he is at asking them. for Alderman
Curran has asked him few the
answers to which must be important
in their bearing On the Mayors repu-
tation and the enforcement OF laws
in this city. Mr.. Curran wants 10
know what the Mayor meant when he
said II would embarrass the city
executive If the Aldermen held their
proposed investigation Of the Rosen-
thai murder and the police situation
here. He wants 10 know why the
Mayor thought such a course Wou'd
"stultify" the Aldermen. He wants to
know why the Mayor referred TO an
affidavit charging a Republican alder
man with acceptance of bride which
he had had "sOme time" He wants
TO know why the Mayor had not acted
on that instead of keeping IL some
time" and why he referred to 1t ut an
interview regarding investigation or
the R0senthal case.
Unquestionably the people OF this
city will be AS anxious TO know the
answers as Mr.. Curran can be. 1t has
been growing more and more apparent
in the course of Mayor Gaynors ad-
mInistration that he took any word or
criticism Of any part OF the city gov
eminent as q direct personal anront'
even as "sedition." That seems q pc
culiar and abnormal development OF
what must have been originally only
proper executive pride and Jealousy
for the reputation Of the men he had
chosen to help him In the various de-
partments. The Mayor cannot afford
10 permit himself to remain In the
position Of trying TO strife investiga-
ton into the efficiency Of his depart
ment heads, nor can he expect the
public to comprehend without his eI-
PLANTATION, why such inquiry could
"enbarrass" him. He must explain
why Il would "stultify" the Aldermen
TO perform a function which the char
ter authorizes-nay. directs-such as
this proposed investigation would be-
And for his regulations sake he must
explain why he did not act immediate
" on the affidavit Of bribery. AS a
citizen such action was his duty; as
an officeholder sworn to uphold the
laws that duty became imperative

the Mayor with using this affidavit Of
bribery Of a Republican as threat
against another Republican seeking TO
do that which Mr.. Gaynor said would

MAKING HORSES DRINK.

II Is not at all surprising that the
British government should contemplate
drastic legislation for dealing with In
dustrial disturbances. Strikes and
lOckouts have IN the last two or three
years been more extensive and costly
than ever before. In some cases they
have almost paralyzed the activities Of
the kingdom and have even challenged
the authority and integrity Of the gov
ernment itself. So Mr.. Lloyd George
announces forthcoming legislation, and
intimates that It will involve compul-
sorry arbitration and financial guaran-
tees for observing agreements. Pre-
sumably he argues that the compul-
sorry arbitration system which has
worked so we'll in New Zealand will
work equally well In Great Britain.
II Is true that a state system OF con-
Citation and rbitration--about nine
parts of the former TO one Of the lat
ter-has made strikes rare in New
Zealand. II IS equally true that be-
fore cancellation was put into the fore.
ground, and while resort was had to
arbitration alone, disputes and disturb
ances abounded. Moreover, II Is con-
fessed frankly there that while arbitra-
ton may be nOminally Compulsory,
no way has yet been found to enforce
an award upon unwilling workers. 1t
Is scarcely TO be supposed that Mr.
Lloyd George-or the third term
statesmen In New Jersey who make a
demand for compulsory arbitration a
part Of their propaganda would use
the police or the army TO force men to
work If they did not wish to work.
The arbitration may be compulsory,
but the return to work must In free
country be voluntary.
Again, It Is said that Mr.. Lloyd
George contemplates financial guar
antees for observing agreements"
That IS highly interesting. seeing that
the trend Of legislation I'm recent years
under Mr.. Lloyd Georges own inspi-
ration has been In the opposite direc-
ton. OF course employers and capital
lists are or can easily be made pecuni-
arily responsible for the fulfllment of
contracts. But the workmen or their
trade unions are In u different status.
1t has been their earnest contention
all along, 10 which the government
has been understood TO accede. that
their union funds are to be exempt
from attachment or other legal proc
ess, and must not be levied against
for indemnity for damages done by

AS MERCHANDISE.

A highly interesting and important
issue Is raised In the bill Eiring to
states the power to prohibit certain
forms Of commerce from other states.
The intention is TO enable states whose
Laws forbid the manufacture or sale
Of intoxicating liquors to forbid also
the shipment Of such liquors into their
territory from other states. At pres
ent such shipments are made, under
the interstate commerce law, on the
ground that the regulation Of such
commerce Is vested in Congress alone
and that an individual state has no
right TO interfere with II.
A similar Issue was raised In New
Jersey a few days ago, through the
decision Of judge to the effect that
wholesale dealers had no right to ship
liquors into municipalities In which
they we're not licensed to sell them.
People had been In the habit Of or
dering liquors by the case from brew
cries. distilleries, department stores
and other establishments In the cities.
70 be delivered 10 them, In some cases
BIZ the sellers own wagons and in
others by express. The judges de-
clsion declares this to be unlawful,
and in consequence at least one lead
Ing express company has announced
that II will no longer deliver such
goods, and wholesale dealers In New
ark and other New Jersey cities have
stopped sending them out on their own
wagons. New York dealers, however,
insist that under the interstate com
merce law they have a right TO con-
tinue making deliveries in New Jer-
sey.
Test cases are to be brought before
r the New Jersey courts to determine
the validity Of the decision, and 1t is
intlmated not only that the pending
bill at Washington will be earnestly
contested but that If it is enacted It's
Sonstitutionality win be challenged in
the courts. The Importance Of the
question involved Is obviously great.

TWO POINTS OF VIEW.
u EdItnr Of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter to The Tribune OF to-
day signed "A Decent Woman" is most
surprising to other decent women, espe-
cially II they are tho mothers OF boys. 1
agree inasmuch as | think the Thaw case
Is nauseatIng beyond everything. and I
consider II ineXcusable that the public
should be obliged to read 1t or even gee
tho headlines, but most assuredly do not
believe a low degenerate should be set at
liberty TO demorslize others. One rotten
apple IN barrel will spoil the entire
barrel and believe Thaw should he con-
fined FOR lifc. As 10 District Attorney
Jerome who "a q decent man doing his
duty. have no doubt he despises such
vile work. He Is doing his utmost TO keep
that miserable reprobate behind the bars
and free the public OF such scum.

That Is the meaning Of It's combined

who will be reluctant % surrender a
long acquaintance with the Woodrow

ers that European opinion was pro-
foundly impressed by the fact that the
Democratic party had nominated for
the Presidency not politician, but a
scholar, thinker and man Of letters.
Must that pleasing impression be de-
strOyed by rude disclaimer? Are the
European public and the public here as
well to be disillusioned by an official
announcement that Woodrow Wilson
the candidate is not even distant
relative OF Woodrow Wilson the AGA
demic leader and publicist?

THE OLD MAID SPEAKS
She Is Justly Bored by Foolish
Talk.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: A word Of protest from another
old maid.
What is all this huIlabaloo about spin
STEERS and bachelors? When n man and
woman get caught IN the matrimonial
web and are fastened securely there
with safety pins, why don't they stop
squealing and make the hest OF It?
happen TO be an old maid from
choice, never once having thought OF
marriage for myself. / do not oppose IL
for those who desire IL. Neither am l
man hater. My life is a round Of
tasks-giving tho best In me TO those
who need It. with a father, ive broth
ers and as many children, my hands and
feet are never still, taking no rest or va
cation.
am intensely interested IN the topics
OF tho day. but do not wish a vote.
believe In womanly women as we'll as
manly men, and I think such can be
found among the unmarried. Cllnging TO
the left oyers''-such floating planks
as old maids and bachelors-many a
welded couple has been saved from ship
wreck.
The Rev z. p. Huffner, Of Colorado,
who advocates exile for the unmarried
and denounces them as waste humanity
should think again. II might be good
idea TO exile him to barren isle, where
he can write theses and exegeses to his
souls content. In that case only the
fishes would be bored. ROSEVlLLE.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: When a man has had all the po-
litical honors his state and country have
to confer, is II right that he should de-
mand or seek further recognition? This
IS query tho voter should seriously
ponder. When we consider tho menace
OF economic conditions and the violence
of the campaign ono wonders as to the
outcome.
To strive TO destroy tho party which
for years has sustained him is not an
inspiring spectacle To one who has
studied his political vagaries he is an
anomaly. His claims to stability are
baseless. The phrases which escape his
lips and are caught up by certain class
are neither pleasing nor refined.
One would rather regret his methods
than condemn, but IL Is impossible TO
condone. i. c. H.
