Hopes of Peace Undaunted by War.

We must admire the optimism Of the propagan-
dsts Of universal peace They are reported to have
met with great enthusiasm yesterday at The
Hague for their twentieth annual congress. Yet on
the face of It the state Of the world certainly does
not seem to be favorable TO their cause.
In the last three years there have been three in
ternatonal wars I'm which treaties and principles of
mediation and arbitration have been most hagrant-
lv fouted Several other lands have been convulsed
with civil strife as two at the present moment.
And certainly there has been'nO cessation of mill
tary preparations anywhere On the contrary the
great powers of Europe are just showing a
marked accession of warlike energy.
Nevertheless the peace delegates may not be i'll
advised I'm maintaining their expectations OF success.
The nature Of the three recent wars has been such
as should intensity repugnance to war while In
what we may call aggressive renics nothing could
be more inspiring more practically hopeful than
the policy set forth by the president of this peace
congress in his opening address.
We are told that he decred the fantasy of n SUI
pernationa organization to which all nations must
subiect themselves. and insisted upon the main
tenance of independent national sovereignty bas-
ing his hope of peace upon an extension and con
frmation of those principles Of international law
and Justice which alone can give peace secure
foundation That is the only logical policy, and the
onlv one which affords reasonable prospect of sue
cess IFS enunciation at the beginning is of good
omen for the gathering at The Hague

Short Shrift for the Taxicab Pirates.

Good sense and fair play control the excellent de-
cision written by Mr. Justice Seabury In uphoIding
the new taxicab ordinance. The temporary 1nJuhc-
tons are vacated and unless some further restrain
ing order is obtained the law goes into general
force at once.
"a serious, well considered attempt to remedy
nuisances which have grown to such an extent as
10 make an application Of a remedy imperative
Justice Seabury terms the ordinance lie brushes
aside the contention Of the hotels that they are en-
titled to special privileges in the' pubcs streets
And the evidence designed to show that the new
rates are confiscatory he considers unsatisfactory
OF course, the litigation will go on. The taxi
cab interests have already proved their utter indi-
ference TO the public's rights and wishes. In the
present proceedings they have raised every conceN
able objection to the reform ordinance that the mind
OF astute lawyers could fetch from near or far
II Is to be hoped that this impudent effort to de-
feat O sound reform will continue to receive the
short shrift which Justice Seabury accorded 1t.

Utilizing the Drop Curtain.

The Fire Commissioners suggestion of ways ana
means Of educating theatre audiences to be panic
proof may seem to some visionary If not bit ran
tastlc Yet it contains at least the germ OF an ad-
mirable idea and the great desirablity Of the end
in view demands for It serious consideration.
The plan OF sending a fireman upon the stage

structive placard, sandwichman fashion, is open
to obvious objections But these would not apply

The Value of the Small Markets.

Another blow at the middleman is being struck
over in Brooklyn, where an open air market for
Long Island farm produce is being conducted by the
New York State Markets League and the House
wives League. 1t is similar to various enterprises
tried with considerable success in this borough,
tbonoh the connection between producer and con-
sumer is closer.
There is room In this city for many such markets,
which by their very nature must be temporary They
are not likely to any great anxiety to the MD
dleman who owns the corner grocery, for he knows
he'll get the bulk of the neighborhood patronage,
week in and week out Nevertheless these small
markets give the consumers they reach fresh STUN
at low prices and net the farmers more than they
could get through sales to jobbers. They may not
knock the high cost OF living over the ropes but
even small reductions help.

1t is to be hoped that Senator Chamberlain will
have his Committee on Military Affairs report soon
the nominations Of Colonel Davis and Colonel

Praise from Waldo Is Praise Indeed.

thing he avers-except few matters of admins

methods.

MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE
The People Know What They Want
and Should Have II.
ltor OF The Tribune


To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: IL is only few weeks since we
had one of the perennial competitions for
Il worthy national hymn and only few
days since the Organists Convention de-
plored the public taste as To religious
hymns. while the criticism OF the current
popular music is constant.
and yet the common people persist in
selecting their own hymns or songs re-
gardless OF all the good advice so freely
given by musical and literary critics, and
am not sure but they are right. For
instance our government has told us that
our national hymn was America" and
IL nowadays "The Star-Spangled Banner"
but no one wants either OF them. and the
boys IN 1898 marched to "H5t Time In the
Old Town" while Marching Through
Georgia" is preferred to any other pa
triotic tune ever written.
The work OF the Church is 10 save souls
not to teach music. and those who are
engaged I'm the work know their needs
better than any organist or college pro-
fessor Come TO Jesus Just Now" Is
not poetry, but II has made many a con-
vert where a fine German chorale would
have failed I'm fact. the Church hymnal
does not appeal to the American taste
and is kept In use only by the efforts of
the clergy and not by any desire OF the
churchgoers.
AS to ragtime, none survives or becomes
at all popular except what Is good. and
some of II is good. very good. and musi-
cally Is beyond comparison with Pop

Is SULZER WORTHY?
That Question Only the Court Of
Impeachment Can Answer.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: II your contributors 10 The Peo-
ple's Column reflect 10 any considerable
degree the mind of the people there must
be widespread IL not prevailing sentiment
in favor of William Sulzer as against Inn
peachment This sentiment would seem 10
have it's origin in misconception OF what
is taking place at Albany.
The impression Is abroad that fight Is
on between Murphy's motives and Tam
many tyranny. on the one hand, and eN-
ecutive independence. on the other. such
indeed appeared to be the issue at the
inception and for time during the devel-
opmcnt OF the struggle that led to the
present situation.
But when vague elimination on unsup-
ported charges was followed by photo
sraphed reproductions of documentary
evidence and by authentically reported
sworn testimony the apparent issue van
lshed. and forthwith should have been
dismissed from consideration as having
no bearing on the definite and crucial
question then brought into the fore
ground.
That question "a threefold one) may be
put singly In this way: Is William Sulzer
worthy to hold the office Of Governor OF
the State OF New York?
without in any way anticipating re-
ply let it be said that II tho following
are finally answered In the negative. he
is; il In tho affirmative, he is not:
|. Did William Sulzer make affidavit as
TO the amount of money received for cam
palgn purposes which he knew TO be
false?
2. Did he appropriate To other use funds
received for campaign purposes?
3. Did he use such funds In stock OPP
erations, endeavoring at the same time
to conceal his so doing by the use OF
figures and symbols, instead Of his own
nameP
Neither Tammany nor newspaper cor
respondents. nor yet public opinion. can
give the right answer The court of inn
parchment can.
The judcially minded will await that
answer without prejudice.
