THE LOVE OF VOTING.

The voter does not appear TO know
what is the matter with him. Accord
ing to the doctors he does not have
elections enough. Besides the present
elections there should he preliminary
elections, called primaries, and suisse
quent elections called recalls and eX-
traOrdinary elections, for trying law
suits, for making laws or for unmak-
Ing them, all Of this to give vent to the
pent up energy Of the community for
self-govenment. The voter de
mands" all of these things. He is not
willing TO take his hands off the relns
for a minute. He will have no system.
He wants to attend to all the details
Of government himself.
See all this zeal for voting in opera
ton. This has been our most mega
phonic campaign. The citizen has
been yelled at from early in the spring
until now and the din is still going on.
If his interest Is in the same quarter
as his nerves IL ought to he aroused

been besought with super-megaphones
to 90 to the polls and register to show
the fire for self-goyernment that IS
burning within him. He has had a
holiday on which to show hls passion
for voting. But instead Of there being
wild rush to the polls on the part Of
a people who hadn't had an opportu'
nifty TO 60 to them in whole year, an
unusually large number Of persons
stayed away from them. They pre-
ferred golf or baseball to the joys OF
registering, and the registration Is
smaller than for the first two days four
years ago. With what a zeal we
should all 60 to the polls II. the chance
to do so came not once but three or
four times a year!

SOLVING TWO PROBLEMS
A Plan to Lower High Prices and Re-
duce Immigration Evils.
,ditor al The Trlbune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: II seems so strange that there
should be any doubt in regard 20 the rea-
son Of the increase in the price Of 1000
stuffs-butter and eggs in particular. FIJI
teen years ago the wages OF unskiAed
farm hands were much lower than al
present The farmer who sells butter ana
eggs has now 10 pay his farm hands SV
or SIS a month more than he formerly
did Therefore, he is obliged to charge
more for the produce OF his farm In order
to meet this increased expenditure. Ihis
is the only reason for the high price Oh
vegetables, butter, eggs, etc. II the en-
ergetic and publlc-spirited women VINO
are so earnestly trying to cope with TINS
very serious question could ind some
means OF diyerting the stream OF strong
and able-bodied men that daily land on
our shores from the already overtl'sd
cities TO where they are really urgently
needed.-that is, on the farms-it wouio
not only be for the immigrants moral ana
physical welfare, but It would az once
bring the farm products, which are dany
soaring higher out OF reach OF modest
purses, down to their former comfortaoie
and attainabls level &C.

DENEEN's wICKEDNEss.

Colonel Roosevelt told the voters in
Chicago on Saturday that during the
contest for the Republican nomination
he had become convinced that Gov
ernor Deneen Of Illinois was n triCkster
and double-dealer. 81 grew 10 feel a
hearty contempt for him." he declared,
land to mistrust his sincerity and 10y
atty to the peoples cause" Yet, If the
public is not misinformed, the colonel
was ready a short time ago to support
Mr.. Deneen for Governor in return for
Mr.. Deneen'S support Of himself for
the Presidency. Was the colonel will
ing to urge the people to put into office
a man whom he believed to be a traitor
to their cause?
Or is the colonels opinion OF Mr..
Deneen only an afterthought? Is the
Illinois Governor merely paying the
penalty Of not following the colonel
out Of the Republican party? If he
had supported the colonel for President
wouldn't Mr.. Deneen have been as
true and trustworthy q TREND OF the
people rs Mr.. Finn, Of Pennsylvania,
or Mr.. Perkins or Mr.. Hanna?
With the colonel there is only one
test Of loyalty, honesty and public
trustworthiness and that IS support Of
the colonel If the chance Of politics
had made Finn a regular Republican
and Senator Penrose the Bull Moose
leader in Pennsylvania it would be
Finn whose head the colonel would be
demanding, while PenrOse would be
an angel of light trying to make the
country a better place for the next
generation to live in. The only honest
men are those who give their shekels
and their votes TO "the only honest
man."

AGE RATINGS IN SCHOOLS.

The controversy between DR.. Max
well and Dr. Bachman over age ratings
in the public schools Of this city may be
left to the educational authorities TO
settle as best they can. It's technicali-
ties would scarcely interest the general
public But it does serve as a reminder
of circumstances which are Of interest
TO the public, and which exist in this
city in a much greater degree than
elsewhere, though to some extent they
are found I'm nearly every part Of the
land, and they impose upon the general
educational system Of the country one
Of its most yexatious problems.
In this city about 10 per cent of the
pupils are foreign born or are children
Of foreign born parents. Obviously, in
a school where all the textbooks and
instruction are in English, they are at
a disadvantage in comparison with
children who are native born and Of
native parentage The alien Of four
teen who does not know word of Eng
lish is at an age ut which he should be
promoted from grammar school to high
school, yet in some of the most i'm
portant particulars he Is ready merely
TO enter the primary school. What is
TO be done with him? Many children
of aliens who may understand English
pretty well have had their education so
neglected that they are years behind
the children of intelligent native fami-
lies. Any attempt TO place them in
school grades strictly on an age CLASH
fcation would be worse than absurd.
Parents must recognize the fact, then,
that a literal enforcement Of prOcrus-
team rules for age ratings is impracti-
cable. In a practically homogeneous
community, even, there would be few
discrepancies due TO natural and in
superable differences Of aptitude among
children, though in the great majority
Of cases ratings would be uniform.
But in heterogeneous communities such
discrepancies are greatly multiplied,
and the ingenuity of teachers and
school officials is taxed to deal with
them in way that will be just 10 all
concerned and will accord with the
economic as well as educational re-
auirements Of the situation. The ores
ent controversy deals with the more
technical and academic features OF the
case, but 1t may be expected to bring

TAMMANYs DECoY.

"The Times" and The World try
to gloss over their support Of a Tam
many candidate for Governor by say
ing that apart from his Tammanyism
his political record is fairly respeCta-
bic. They lay stress on what Mr.. Sui
ger has done in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, where Tammany restraint
upon his activities has been slight.
BOSS" Murphy is only family inter
ested in what goes on at Washington,
and Mr.. Suffers activities there have
in no serious way interfered with the
designs and interests Of the -Four
teenth Street organization.
Mr.. Suffers good record abroad sim
ply made him the more available as a
means of pacifying the boss's real and
professed enemies at a serious crisis
In domestic politics. Tammany has
never been above ''pandering to re-
spectability" when it became advisable
TO do so. Murphy took George B. Nc
Clellan out Of Congress in order to run
him for Mayor after the red light
issue had cost the control Of the city
government. Mr.. Sulzer is put for
ward this year for Governor as a mid
concession to the clamor Of the real
and alleged anti-Tammany Democrats.
Yet Murphy can applaud with more
confidence and JUNCTION than they can
the candidates academic boast:
William Sulzer never had boss and
his only master is himself"
Mr.. Sulzer is obviously doing Muir
phys work, which is to soften public
reprObatiOn of Tammany and gull sup
posed anti-Tammany Democrats into
voting to perpetuate Tammany-con-
trOlled administration at Albany. The
candidate has frankly admitted that
lie is an organization Democrat and
a spokesman. He wants to see the Of
fees and emOluments 90 to the party
leaders and workers, thus applying at
Albany the cardinal principle of Tam
maDyism. What more could Murphy
expect under the circumstances NO
man can be a member Of Tammany
Hall for twenty-five years or more
and not be imbued with the mercenary
and anti-sOcial service spirit Of that
alliance for political spoliation. Tam
many serves itself first and then gives
the community a few crumbs from the
table. Even those who commend his
good work at Washington must admit
that Mr.. Sulzer is an avowed and I'M
regenerate dealer in spoils, ready to
do with enthusiasm what he can for
the organization to which he has 50
long been loyal Whatever may be his
personal relations with Murphy, he and
Murphy are at one in gladly accepting
the "get-the-goods' philosophy Of Tam
many and wishing to apply it at the
expense both Of the state and the city.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Business on the New York Stock Ex-
change for the last week has presented
a perpleXing problem. During ordi-
nary periods. when only the natural
effects Of commercial and industrial in
fluences, aside from pool manipulation.
are TO be reckoned with, the favorable
or unfavorable factors may be dis
counted. But an abnormal situation
has arisen as a result OF the war
against Turkey started by a single
member Of the Balkan group, Monte
negro. How far the war movement
may go is debatable, but so far the ef-
feet has been demoralizing to the stock
markets Of all Europe, and has ex-
tended TO the New York stock market.
The bourses Of Vienna. Paris and Ber-
lin have been In a state OF panic dur
ing the entire week and securities have
been liqUidated by investors without
reasonable consideration. II is esti-
mated that as a result OF the sensa-
tiOnal war rumors more than five hun
curities have been sent to this market
from abroad within the last two weeks
The absorption of so much stock in adj
dition TO the offerings at home has
tried the stability Of this market, and
considering the circumstances the New
York stock market has displayed re-
markable strength. II Is not alto
gether the legitimate liquidation which
has tried our buying support. but there
must be and always Is bear contin-
gent that seizes every opportunity to
depress prices, and this last week the
bears have been active.
Business outside OF stock market OPP

larged their reports to include branches

ANOTHER WAR CLOUD.

The actual war cloud In the south
east Of Europe threatens, according TO
Mr.. Sven Hedin, to be matched by one
I'm the northwest. Russia, he believes,
is planning the conquest Of Sweden
and Norway, in order TO secure for
herself frontage on the Atlantic
Ocean. The first step in the campaign
IS the classification OF Finland, which
has now proceeded far. It is already
known to the world that Finland has
been practically incorporated into the
Russian Empire as a province. All its
laws are now made or revised at st.
Petersburg. Finnish troops have been
sent into Russia and Finland has been
garrisoned with Cossacks. Finnish
pilots have been dismissed and Rus
slams have been put in their places.
Instead Of being a buffer state be-
tween Russia and Sweden, the former
Grand Duchy has been transformed
into a base of Russian operations
against Scandinavia. AS final act, a
system Of strategic railroads is being
built throughout Finland, with the APP
parent purpose Of military rather than
commercial use.
There is little question that Russia
does coyet and long has coveted at
least the northern part Of the Scandl-
navian Peninsula At one time her
attention was supposed 10 be fixed
merely upon the upper part OF Nor
way, where the Ofoten Fiord and the
Lyngen Fiord would give her open
harbOrs, and there were said to be
overtures to Norway, before her sep
aration from Sweden, to give her Rus
sias aid in securing independence in
return for a ceSSiOn Of TromsO Prov
ince to Russia. The separation Of the
kingdoms ended those intrigues, and
since then Russia has been suspected
Of aiming at the acquisition Of both
TrOmso and TrOndhiem in Norway and
Of at least all Of NOITland in Sweden,
so as TO give her both shores Of the
upper half of the Gulf of Bothnia and
the Atlantic Coast as far down as the
splendid harbor Of Trondhiem.
The logic Of the situation, as seen
by Mr. Hedin, is this: Russia has for
two centuries been seeking a frontage
on an unfrozen sea and on waters not
dominated by other powers. Peter the
Great gave her a window looking on
Europe" but the Gulf Of Finland is
too much frostbound and the passage
between the Baltic and the, Atlantic is
too much dominated by otner powers.
Catharine secured frontage on the
Black Sea, but the passage from It to
the Mediterranean still remains in
other hands. Alexander II took Tur-
kestan and pushed far toward the
Persian Gulf, but Great Britain still
blocks the further way. As for the
Pacific, the last few years have seen
Russian hopes in that direction quite
destroyed Moreover, it Is not so re-
mote an outlet that Russia wants, but

one on the waters adjacent to Europe
So she seeks the line Of least resist
ance as she thinks. lcross the small
and supposedly helpless scandinavian
kingdoms.
It is by no means sure. however, that
II is the line Of least resistance. Ger
tainly, it would not prove TO be one OF
slight resistance. All possibility
ever there were any-of Norway 5
ceding land to Russia vanished at the
seDaration from Sweden, and now the
two powers would be a unit In resisting
Russian aggression. The eight million
people Of Scandinavia are less than
tenth of those Of Russia. But the con-
trast between the two in intelligence
and general capacity is as great IN the
other direction, while in warlike quail
ties the scandinavian peoples have
record scarcely surpassed in all Eu-
rope. The defence against Russian
attack would, therefore, be strong and
might not improbably be successful.
Certainly there would he no holiday
narade TO TrOndhiem.
