The Lake Erie Centenary.

The present week affords sufficiently appro-
pirate date for beginning at Erie, Penn, the ceie-
bration of the centenary of Perrys naval victory
near Putin Bay, and the event which is thus 10
be commemorated must be esteemed as worthy OF
all the attention which the nation can bestow upon
it, 1t is well TO bear in mind. however that we
have not yet reached the actual anniversary OF the
Battle of Lake Erie
Just one hundred years ago, in the early part
of July 1913. Perry made hasty and dithcut
gathering of his improvised fotlla at Erie, just
escaping interception and probable capture by the
British His vessels were still 50 new and H.
equipped that he was in no condition to meet the
enemy He lay in the harbor of Erie for some
weeks blockaded by the British, with his ships so
wretchedly undermined TO be scarcely capable
of defence. not TO mention aggression II was not
until August that he ventured to take his nag
ship the Niagara. out and he then did so in a
clandestne manner
1t was not until September 10 that the battle
was fought at the western end Of the lake But
bv that time the genius Of the young commander
had succeeded in putting the hastily built ships ana
their motley crews into condition which enabled
him to win what on the whole the most I'M
portant battle Of the War of 1872.

new point is raised, at least new emphasis
is given to it, by one Of the militant sufragettes who
were on Thursday sentenced in London to penal SER
vtude for arson She declared that she would refuse
to eat in prison, and also would refuse to leave
prison under the so-called cat and mouse act, but
would insist upon remaining there until she was
either dead or released free woman" She did
not say what she would do if the prison authorities
kindly but rresstbly carried her outside and locked
her out. Maybe she would starve herself in hope
of forcing them 10 take her in again.
Apart from this the position taken is either that
courts must not convict women at all for even the
most atrocious crimes committed in the name Of
suffrage, or that Immediately upon conviction the
women must be pardoned. In the former case the
courts would stutify themselves. In the latter the
women would tacitly acknowledge their guilt and
the Crown would exercise a clemency for which
there was no reason since its objects were i'm
penitent and defiant
The problem of dealing with these illogical ladies
is n difficult one, but doubt if either OF these
solutions Of it will be accepted as satisfactory.

The RIGHT of a City to Save Lives.

An exceedingly interesting situation, legally NOR
ally and in its practical bearing upon human NE
has arisen in the city Of Cincinnati. Through
strikes and widely united system OF ice plant
ownership the Ohio city came face to face with an
ice famine Inconvenience had begun and suffer-
ing with loss of life and Illness close at hand
In this crisis the city authorities couragcousIy
seized the idle ice plants in the name OF the
municipality and proceeded TO manufacture ice. AT
the present moment the famine has been relieved
and unless legal process intereres the situation has
been saved Just what the courts will do with the
tntunctions that are being sought in an effort TO
GUST the city from the plants the whole country Will
be keenly interested to observe.
Not so long ago it is safe to assert that few
Judges would have approached any such dctatorial
mood But considerable change has come over
tn spirit Of the law. 1t is now fairly well fecoG-
nized-and nowhere more clearly than in the Su-
preme Court of the United States-that the law
sboud be the servant of the peoples will, not its
tvrant. and that courts should be fully as keen
IN UNFOLD a necessary public power to protect
a private right
Thus the Cincinnati litigation may well consti-
tute an historic case. The police power of state
and of a states delegated agents, Including its
cities was never understood so broadly as today.
And certainly more urgent demand IN the name
Of the public welfare than the need for ice which
the Cincinnati authorities summary filled it would
be difficult to name The whole broad right of a
neonle 10 save themselves from death and pestience
is at stake.

MUNICIPAL OPERATION
How England Aids Taxpayers by
Running Pu',ic Utilities.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We are told by our public officials,
who have little regard for the rights Of
a people. that municipal operation or
public utilities is a sham and a fraud,
and to show their utter contempt for
the people who elected them they de-
lberately disregard the pledges they
made to the people in 1909 to secure
election and turn over the entire transit
system Of our great municipality to pri-
vate corporations And not only this,
but In their contract they guarantee a
profit TO these private corporations on a
strap-hanging basis for fifty years. and
a public service commission steps in and
by consenting to the issue of bonds in
excess OF actual needs legaliZes millions
of watered securities 10 be palmed OF
on innocent investors at home and
abroad.
Let us see how Great Britain protects
its people in the matter OF public utilities
and how it ignores jobbers and specula-
tors.
While England has eighty-two cities
operating municipal tramways, sixty-six
of them with profits ranging from 500
TO sl,3s2,S55 in a single year. there has
been turned over to the tax rate of these
cities for the year 1912 the sum Of
sS,350,OOO
plants at profit and only three cities
operating such plants at a loss.
The City OF Leicester alone has

Whv Married Men Commit Arson.

In England, as everybody knows, 1t Is the SUI
fragettes who burn things-so much so that
"arsonette" is becoming handy and serviceable
term for the torch bearing militant. Here IN New
York. oddly enough, arson is the pet crime oil
married men, Occasionally a woman or an unmar-
ried man burns a house. But the bulk of the
pastime is credited to the family man-on the WORD
of the annual report put forth by the District AT
torneys Office.
Why is this thus? Surely matter for the
Husbands Protective Association to investigate
lies here. Is the poor, downtrodden race so put
upon that its members explode into arson as a
natural reaction from pale, sparkless existence!
Or is the work designed mute, tragic protest
"a brand seized from the suffragetteS' bonfire, so
to speak-against the waxing enslavement TO winch
the American husband is subjected?
If it is the latter we may be on the brink or Il

simple fact that the figures may very we'll mean

Europe's Disgrace.

The Balkan war against Turkey was discredit-
able TO Europe since it was directly due to the
failure of the powers TO do their duty. This new
Balkan war among the recent allies is more than
discredtable 1t is disgraceful, for it is due not
merely to passive neglect. but to aggressive med
ding of the most sordid and unjust kind.
Because Of the unwlingness of the powers TO let
the gallant vctors reap the legitimate rewards OF
their labors and sacrifices. there is now only TOO
good ground for anticipating war OF far greater
devastation than that against the Turks, among
nations which ought to be friends and allies WIFI
not remote possibility of its extension to half the
Continent Of Europe.
The one CLEAN of hope in the dark and forbiddins
outlook is in the promise that the powers Will
not interfere but will let the Balkan States hSht IL
out among themselves. If only that rule had Deen
adopted six months ago, this second war would not
have occurred That it will now be Loyalty OBJ
served seems almost too much TO hope though IL
must be hoped to the last extreme.

THE LEADER OF THE NATION
Has President Wilson Qualified for
That Position?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. In President wilson's speech az
Gettysburg he repeated his claim to lead
ershp Of the American people by reason
OF his election 10 the Presidency
MANY times while he was Governor OF
New Jersey Mr.. Wilson asserted right
10 leadership by virtue Of his office.
am astonished. Mr. Editor. that this
absurd claim has been permitted to stand
unchallenged Perhaps It has been al
lowed 10 20 unnoticed because Of its very
absurdity. As an old English poet eX-
presses 1t:
There Is Tor us a yet aususter thing' -.
Yelled though 70 be. than Parliament or h'"s'
do not believe. Mr.. Editor. that we
are ready to admit that we have a utu-
lar leader for the American people. Even
the President must prove his leadership
and he cannot do this unless he performs
his sworn duty with conscience and with
courage.
When Mr. Wilson took his cath OF once
as President he found the sundry clvll
appropriation bill vetoed by Mr.. Tart
on account OF legislative rider eX-
empung certain classes from criminal
prosecution. This same obnoxious rider
was included in the bill presented
in the present session OF Congress Many
Democratic Senators and Representatives
made pilgrimages TO the White House
and sought from the President an eX-
preston Of opposition 70 this anti-Amer-
lean and abhorrent thing. Not word
of opposition escaped Mr.. Wilson's lips.
DAYS passed and weeks. and the sundry
civil bill went from Congress 20 the
President for his signature or veto. but
this President who stood before the vet
Grams at Gettysburg on July asserting
his leadership OF the American people
had abdicated his leadership when he
remained silent In these numerous White
House conferences over the sundry civil
bill And then, when this bill came be-
fore him for consideration. this matches

American people. signed the bill, attach
ing thereto a famous memorandum in
which he denounced the rider with
great Indignation in phrases which he
had failed 20 use when his counsel had
been sought by Democratic Senator'S and
Representatives while the bill was pend
ing and when It could have been defeated
by his active or even passive opposition.
