IMMENSE AND INTENSE
Is Sympathy Of "A Plain Christian
at the Loss of The Ecclesiastical. -.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: This Is letter OF coincidence. but
mere words are inadequate 10 convey the
falntest idea of tho immensely md inten-
sity ~ the sympathy 7 feel for you I'm the
loss ~ 80 discriminating n subscriber ss
the Rev clinton Durart Drumm, Of THE
Rectory," Fishkll Y. Y. whom YOU mag
ranmously term n Meek and Lowly
christian" BY the way. how DO you know
the reverend gentleman Is a Christian.
Christians are distinguished by the name OF
some we'll known saint. Peter. John. Joseph
Michael. Patrick, etc. Who ever heard of
81. Clinton or a ST. Durant?
Was It chance or fate, an oversight or a
miscarriage OF tho mails that caused the
omission from your columns Of the gentle
mans article on Roosevelt? You have
published a thousand and one communica-
lions. pro and anti Roosevelt. during these
convention days-why did this important
article" fail to appear? Mayhap It might
have changed tho result at Chicago. and
Roosevelt instead OF being an outcast and
back number would have stood proudly
forth as the chosen champion leader or tn"
people.
on reflection the gentleman's own state
inent that he was well aware you would not
dare to publish his communication may
account for it's omission. Perhaps II con
tanned matter unfit for publications also
perhaps II did not seem to you as beins
possessed OF general interest. or again per-
haps it's style and phraseology were not nv
TO The Tribune's standard. which may say
sub rosa Is not unlikely judging from the
gentlemans letter repudiating you.
Isn't II awful? Besides the loss OF the
Rev. Mr.. Drumm's subscription you stand
to lose. as readers, the many people"
borrowers of his paper0 whom he knows
who ''all agree that your paper is not what
Il once was" Alas and alack, how many
things, how many individuals. are not what
they once were!
Assuming that the reverend gentleman IS
under the jurisdiction OF bishop, It may
be presumed that that dignitary will give
proper disciplinary attention TO his eX'
pressed wlsh-unclerical, unchristian and
diabolical-that your subscription list grow
less year by year"

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM
The Tribune's View Finds Support in
Iowa and West Virginia.

From The Wheeling Intelligence.
The New York Tribune makes forcetui
argument in favor OF a single Presidential
term. six-year term would give
TO a President ample opportunity TO develop
individual policies and to carry them to a
conclusion. 1t would relieve every President
OF the accusation OF connivins With politicians
or Of swapping legislation and Offices for pros
meets Of denomination. on the whole. more
over. IL is not improbable that the country
will enjoy some cessation from the presen;
politicai activities Presidential years come
often enough TO be seriously disturbing factors
in business and in industry. On the other
hand. there are some objections to the six
wear term. Four years is enough OF a bad
president However tho suggestion is worthy
OF verysserious consideration.

If such matters, and so Great hri'a',

according TO the eXigencies OF her ueH'
perate struggle with France. Neither
was there then any provision for arbi-
tration. Had there been international

had there been an arbitration treaty SUCH
AS thai which President Taft stroye 10

would have been no war. Great Brllalh

faction would have been sought by judi
cial rather than military action.
The other thing which was lacking was
American military power on land and
sea. Our army consisted OF only lie"
thousand iIl-trained militia and our navy
of not n single battleship and only seven
fricateS or cruisers and a few sloopS
No wonder that Great Britain regarded
our military forces as negligible factors
If we had possessed a well trained
army and a reasonably strong navy
there would probably have been no war.
Great Britain would have respected our
mower. And the irony of 1t was that 1t
was in the name and for the sake OF
peace that our army had been disbanded
and our navy neglected. The very policy
which was supposed to make for peace
really made for war. WaShingtons
creed was that preparation for war was
the best guarantee Of peace. Jefferson
reversed it and strove to maintain peace
by being unprepared for war. The catas-
trophe Of hundred years ago was an
Illuminating and convincing commentary
on those policies.

CAUSES OF Discomfort.

The theory that the present extraordi-
nary prevalence of industrial unrest and
discomfort in Great Britain is due chiefly
to the increase in the cost of living Is
partly confirmed and partly discredited
by the record. 1t is undoubtedly true
that the cost of living has increased. SO
has the average of wages. But the for
mer increase has been much greater than
the latter. Mr. Asqulth the other day
made this fact clear. If the year 1900
be taken as the standard, as it may fair
IL be, and the cost Of food and drink and
the average Of wages in that year be set
down as 100, the cost of food and drink
in 1911 was 111.6 and the average Of
wages was 1908. The former had risen
11.6 and the latter only 3 per cent That
difference has doubtless been keenly felt
In a country where the margin Of earn
ings above the cost of the necessaries Of
life is always narrow.
If, however, taking a somewhat more
extended view. we retain 1900 as the
standard year and turn back to 1882, we
find that then the cost of living was as
high as 1922, while wages were only
SIS. That Is TO say, the cost Of living
was then 30.5 points higher than last
year, and the average of wages was 14.5
points lower than last year. 1t is i'm
possible to escape the conclusion, there
fore. that the condition Of workingmen
was considerably worse then than II Is
now. Moreover, those conditions were
not confined to that single year From
1870 10 1899 the cost Of living only once
fell below 100 while only twice did the
average Of wages rise above 40, and most
Of the time IT was below So. Surely, dis.
