A NEW PROFESSION.

The University of Leipzig has announced the
establishment of chair of copyright. A professor
has been installed who will teach the laws and prac-
tces of copyrights in all the countries of the world
In view of the fact that nobody in the United
States, not even the Librarian of Congress or the
judges, seems to know just what the American copy
right law means or does not mean, it might be we'll
for some American university to follow suit
The Pulitzer School of Journalism of Columbia
University would do we'll to incorporate provision
for this course of study, since of the principal
features of New York journalism now seems to be

explosion of that copyright by the non-exclusves

WANTS MEMORIAL TO
HONOR ALL THE HEROES

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
From all accounts of the late sea dis
aster, many men did the grandly noble
thing. And IL a memorial monument
must needs be, why not let II include
all the heroes?
For a strong man to stand aside and
let frail women have the first chance
of life isn't, after all, so big a thing,
noble though It is, and we'll appreciated.
But those splendid souls who stuck to
their Instruments until the last hope
was eliminated, displayed the most
supreme self-effacement-the wireless
operator, to whose skill and service is
due the credit that anyone was saved,
piring breath, sent notes OF comfort to
both living and dying, were heroes. COM

THE COUNTY.

II is gratifying to learn that at last the people
who are trying to help improve the conditions of
living in this country have come to consider the
county. great deal has been done for the CITY as
city. Much has been done for the State as State
Even more has been accomplished for the nation as
nation.
But that humber unit, the county, has been neg
lected. There is no adequate and accessible infor-
nation concerning the varying forms of county gov
ernment in the various States. One is able to learn,
in general way, that in New England the town is
the unit Of local administration even in the rural
DISTRICTS that in the rest Of the country the county
is the unit; that in Louisiana county is not county
but parish, and that in South Carolina the county
used to be called district But that sort of in
formation, interesting although it may be- has moth
ing to do with solving the problems of life that can
be reached only through local administrative units,
which in the agricultural districts are counties
Go into any group Of men where several States
are represented and set them to talking county poll
tics OF the old days back home. You will soon find
that each has radically different idea of the con-
stitution, function, and government of county.
Yet every organized agency that has undertaken
to do extended educational philanthropic work in
the rural sections has been forced to the conclusion
that the victory will be only when county gov
eminent is made as efficient in dealing with local
social problems as city government now is This is
the message that DR.. G. w. Stiles will carry to the
Sociological Congress in Nashville, in giving his
plans for carrying forward the fight against hook
worm disease. This is the conclusion to which, the
Rockefeller Sanitary Commission has come This is

WANTS MORE SPACE
FOR THE MAIL BAG

To tho Editor OF THE TINES:
Many OF your readers regret that too
little space Is allotted to the Mail Bag.
The articles are always brief and spicy,
and contain information In a nutshell
which many readers might not other
wise obtain. 1t is In evidence that the
contributors are fairly conversant with
the subject matter which engage their
attention. Many Of your readers first
seek the Mail Bay column, and subse-
quently the editorial and news items.
They have no suggestions to make as
to the manner of conducting success
fully newspaper, but we urgently ap-
peal for more space and light. The
writer Knows as little about running a
newspaper as he does about demon-
stra ting geometrical propositions or
calculating transit OF Venus. He
merely makes q suggestion which may
or may not meet with your appreciation.

NOT FOR TAFT THEN,
NOT FOR TAFT NOW
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Manager Mckinley put out the fol-
lowing after the Pennsylvania primaries
came off. "Mr. Taft was nominated in
1908 without Indiana, Illinois, and Penn
sylvania and can be again." Very fine
as a surface political campaign veneer
ing. blind leading the blind" but will
hardly stand dissecting. 1t is true,
those States were not for Taft in 1903.
Indiana was for Fairbanks; Illinois for
Cannon: Pennsylvania for Knox. Now
Knox is in the Cabinet; Pennsylvania is
for Roosevelt, Cannon is for Taft, Illi-
nois is for Roosevelt. Cannon is un-
horsed, Fairbanks, then for himself,
now for Taft. Indiana has a divided
delegation and is in a state Of innocuous
desuetude.
p. S.-They were not for Taft then;
they are not for Taft now. Elective

nois. %. FAIR PLAY.

THE LONDON PRESS.

Most of the London newspapers condemn the
manner in which the Senate is subecting Mr.. Ismay
to unjust suspicion, and that in advance of an inquiry
They confuse the action of certain section of
the American press and that of the Senate committee.
If the Senate had delayed the inquiry the British
press would have condemned it for being slow Now
they condemn it for being fast
If the British press would but lay aside the
amazing prejudice that prevents its seeing anything
American in the correct perspective, it would see
that the suspicion to which Mr.. smay has been sub
jected arose from Mr.. Ismay's actions and from
the actions of the White Star line, Of which he is the
managing director. Nobody has criticised Mr.. Ismay
because he is British any more than they have crit
icised him for being Jew, or for having curly hair
or for wearing mustaches
When yellow paper in New York says something
shocking to British ears the London press always
speaks Of that yellow paper as the American press
When yellow paper in London says something off
color the London press, II forced to say anything,
