MORE ALIEN RIGHTS.

The proposed new treaty between
this country and Italy will, If maze
effect one Of the most marked and
important changes Of recent times IN
the status and rights of aliens. IL
will provide that II an italian subject
domiciIed in the United States is In
iured in some accident incidental 10
his employment, or in some riot or
other breach Of the peace, be VIII De
entitled TO indemnifiCation by process
of law precisely as though he were
citizen of the United States, and also
that If he is killed his family may
obtain indemnity, even though they re-
NAMED I'm Italy. OF course, the same
rule will apply to aliens from all other
countries which have with us treatles
containing the most favored nation
clause. as nearly all have.
1t would he difficult to imagine much
more generous treatment OF aliens
than this. In an important and prac-
tical sense IT puts humanity above ma
tionality by providing that aliens who
have never set foot in America ana
who have no stake whatever In TINS
country shall have the same rights
and privileges under our laws In these
respects that native citizens enjoy. 1t
will apply in a new and notable sense
the principle that "a mans a man Tor
a. that'-regardless not only Of social
rank and wealth, but also OF national
utilization and allegiance. 1t Will, oil
course, give Americans the same rights
and privileges In Italy that Italians
eniov here but for obvious reasons
that fact will be Of vastly less I'M
portance to Americans than to Italians
and others.
Like not a few other generous pro-
visions of law, this will be suscepu-
HE Of abuse In various ways. 1t may
prove 10 be a temptation or an ell
couragement to an increase In the
number of those who come here leay-
ing their families behind them ana
with no thought Of becoming natural
ICED, but Just for the sake OF sending
back or taking back to the old coun-
try as great a sum Of earnings and
savings as possible. Many already do
this. and It would not be to our adj
vantage to have the number increased.
II NAV lead to many awkward COM
plications arising from the making OF
spurious claims in behalf Of alleged
alien survivors. and from the difficulty
Of ascertaining what survivors In the
old country are legally entitled to In
Identification. On the other hand, 1t
will probably exercise a restraining
grace against careless or wanton Ill
treatment Of aliens, and in other ways
have a good effect on international
relations.

RLuE OR HuCKLE BERRIEs1

The suggestion OF the Department
OF Agriculture that blueberries should
be cultivated, with view TO increas-
ing their size and their market value as
q fruit crop, is interesting and not de-
void Of promise, though in some re-
spects the popular publications con-
corning it are not as definite as we
could wish. Blueberries are spoken Of,
coupled with the remark that they are
called huckleberries in the Southern
states, apparently with the notion that
the two are Identical which is not the
case. If the name huckleberry Is com
monty used in the South, It is assur-
edly not confined to nor at all charac-
teristic of that territory, but Is Of wide
and authentic usage throughout the
country, including New England.
What is more TO the point is that
blueberries and huckleberries are by
no means the same. They both, In all
their numerous varieties. belong to the
great tribe or family Of heaths, which
ranges from the stately rhododendron
TO the obscure and almost fungus-like
Indian pipe; but they belong to two
distinct and separate genera. The
huckleberry, or American whortleber-
ry-the former name is corruption
of the latter through the intermediate
form hurtleberry-is the Gaylussacia,
with several species, such as the blue
tangle or dangleberry and the dwarf
huckleberry. The BURBERRY is Vac
cinium, an extensive genus comprising
many varieties Of BURBERRY, the ever
green blueberries of the South. deer
berries, farkleberries, and even cram
berries. The true huckleberries are
always black or so deep blue as to
seem black, while blueberries range
from palest blue to deepest indigo
and to pure black. Both are edible,
but the BURBERRY is by far the COM

DAY NURSERY DEFENDED
A Blessing to Poor Mothers and Ohil-
dren, a Teacher Says.
TOR of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: feel impelled to answer In part an
article which appeared in recent issue
OF The Tribune, under the title, "Caiis
the Day Nursery a Failure" The ques-
lions were:
us the day nursery mistake? Would
It be better for mothers and children IL
all the day nurseries were abolishedT
I would reply, Decidedly not, to ootn
questions, as I, with hosts Of others
consider the nurseries a blessing, nor
mistake and think they should be multi
piled instead of abolished. 1t has been
stated that in many cases the mothers
take advantage OF the nursery TO get
away from their homes when there Is no
necessity. We know that in this philan-
thropic venture advantage may be taken
in some cases, but the worthy should not
suffer in consequence. ! believe there
are more worthy than otherwise; l nave
seen the dire necessity in my work as
teacher among the very desolate. one
case was that OF a mother with newly
born babe and three other little ones, too
young for school, the father having de-
serted them. The only help this poor
mother had was that OF child, eight
years. OF age. They had no food or fuel,
except a very small amount given by
neighbor almost as poor as themselves.
The little ones were in the street, with
no one to protect them.
Here comes the necessity for the day
nursery. A teacher in a school near by
obtained permission 10 take two OF the
little ones into her classroom. This school
being connected with the Children's Aid
Society, warm dinner was given each
day; but, after school, what? Back TO
the dreary. uncomfortable home.
think in every public school a day
nursery should precede the kindergarten,
especially in the poorer localities. giving
the mothers freedom for some hours In
orGer TO do their work. and that the pri-
vate nurseries already organized should
have the support OF all having the child's
interest at heart. There are many noble
men and women ready TO aid in all cases
OF necessity. II brought TO their notice
more fully. The day nursery is with us
and should stay and make progress.

situation and submit recommendations
with regard to 1t. The bill went TO
the Democratic Assembly, where a
word from the Governor would I'M
doubtedly have put 1t through, but II
was permitted to die there in commit
tee. Though Governor Wilson had
brought up the subject in his message
tie suggestion, It is now evident, was
so perfunctory that he let his own
Democratic friends defeat the effort 10
reform the corporation laws.
That, Of course, was his privilege.
But 1t is rather shabby OF him now 10
try to throw the blame for his own
negligence on the Republicans In the
Legislature, who were doing their best
to accomplish the revision.

THE GROWING BUDGET.

The city hears annually much about
improvements in the making of It's bud
get, but the improvement that Will
check the advancing cost Of Its govern
ment is as far off as ever. Perhaps IL
seems further off than ever The net
effect of introducing science" into the
preparation Of the estimates has been
to Danish the simple faith universally
held few years ago that a strong man
and a good. business man, or proper
businesslike methods, would cut in half
the cost Of running the city. When the
budget becomes scientific" and still
we pay higher taxes, what room Is
there left for hope?
Mayor Gaynor predicted year or
two ago that budgets would always ad-
vance. Thus far he has been a true
prophet, and there isn't any present
reason for thinking that he will ever
turn out to be anything less. If he Is
without honor in his own country just
now it Is not because he is a prophet
He has helped TO carry out his own
prediction, for his administration has
been expensive. This years budget
hung for long time threateningly
near the s2OO,OOOON0 point, but by dill
gent efforts the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment has cut it below that
figure and may shave it still further.
A 100000, 900 budget is a certainty for
next year, unless Mayor Gaynor's
standing as one of the major prophets
Is going TO he Unmarried.

Company Is quoted as saying that the
present system us simply system OF
protection for the foreigner, because a
case OF eggs can be delivered In London
from Denmark cheaper than from Corn
wall. This is largely due to the present
antiduated system. There are now u
goods sections In London using 100 goods
trains every twenty-four hours for sort
ing. Only 800 goods trains come into Lon
don with goods during that time. IL the
new clearing house system were adopted,
the 800 trains would come straight to the
clearing house, and each could be un-
loaded In six to ten minutes. The whole
70 goods stations and the 100 sorting trains
would be swept away"

Correspondent Urges Real Repubn-
cans to Use Pastors.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: While the real Republicans OF
California cannot vote under the name OF
Republicans or under any party name, It
would seem they might still cast their
ballots by using a device which I know
to be used elsewhere. That is, to have
all their candidates names printed on a
slip which has glue on the back. so that
1t can be pasted on a blank column on
the ballot The leaders could easily have
these slips distributed to all who wish to
vote the real Republican ticket.
In any event. It is TO be sincerely hoped
that none will vote for those who have
usurped their party name.
