Making a Vice of a Virtue.

The Hon. Frank h Willis of the beautifully
named town of Ada, Ohio, is the champion speller
of these United States, having dStanced all corners
in Washington spelling bee. We suppose Nlr.
Willis, school teacher, college professor and Repre-
sentative in Congress- could not avoid winning.
There are few peculiar people who simply cannot
spell incorrectly. But the more consider Mr..
Willis's achievement the it looks. Frankly,
the gentleman from Ohio ought to he ashamed
Of himself.
1t was not ordinary tongue twsterS that Mr..
Willis spelled correctly. 1t was collection OF
word horrors that anybody would he ashamed TO
whisper to himself alone in the dark. "Fuchsia'
and 'gneiss' and "daGuerreotype" on the contest
list are all right. SO "desuetude' and 'canta-
loupe" But who heard wants To hear Of
"bdellium" or 'ogee" or "cedreaceous'?
We have looked up these disagreeablc mouthfus,
and they really in the dictionaries. But so are
thousands of other words that can easily be
avoided through long and perfectly respectable
life Chose ardent souls who have reau the Bible
through will have hit "bdellium" in Genesis-if
they were awake. But do not concede that
reading the Bible through is a necessary condition

Wbv Not a Woman PRINCIPAL?

It would be interesting to know just how the
board Of superintendent of public school syS-
TEN defends its refusal to appoint woman prin-
cipa to the head of high school for girls.
There is question OF the Termination of our
schools here. Nobody suggests that q woman
should be made principal of a boys high school.
The reasons against such an arrangement are OBJ
vious Yet similar reasons in a considerable meas
ure at least urge that a woman is the proper
person to supervise and administer the education in
Il girls school
At any rate there seems every ground in reason
and fairness for considering available men and
women upon an equal footing Not even that meas
ure of justice and apparently obtains in our
hoard of superintendent. In selecting men TO
head the new high schools for girls the board, or
a majority Of the board appears to have simply
ignored the claims Of the six women who applied
for the work The old preference for male prnci-
pals decisive.
Is IL not about time to forget our ancient preiu-
dices and choose principals on their merits?

The British Arbitration Treaty.

The temporary blocking OF the renewal Of the
British arbitration treaty is deplorable as a piece
Of international bad If not of potential bad
faith On its face It is bad manners because it is
deliberate discrimination against Great Britain
There are pending several other identical treaties
with other European nations. TO the ratification Of
which no objection is made. The opposition is solely
10 renewal Of the British treaty.
Ii is explained that the objection is not to an
arbitration treaty with Great Britain per Sc hut
simply TO giving that country n chance to demand
under II arbitration Of the dispute Panama
Canal tolls That is to say, there is no objection to
the treaty. but only TO the Of it for of the
very purposes for which 1t designed For there
can be no doubt that the technical Interpretation Of
the -Pauncefote treaty is precisely the sort Of
question "of legal nature, not involving the vital
interests independence or honor of the nation
which the treaty Of arbitration intended to i'll
clude
The objection is foolish, moreover because the
British protest against discrimination in tolls and
the practical demand for arbitration were made long
before the expiration of the treaty; that if re-
newa Of that instrument should be refused there
would still be a morally valid claim for arbitral
proceedings As for the idea which some are said
to cherish that the tolls question is not arbtrabe
because II involves our "vta interests It is simply
preposterous. No rational man can contend seriously

Our High Batting Average in Respect of
Beauty

NJ. Paul Heleu Of Paris, who etches portraits to
his profit has returned TO his home filed with praise
of American women The most beautiful in the
world" is his statement. And, celebrating, he gives
this interesting analysis Of the facts as he sees
them
There is the greatest quantity Of beauties there,
and also the largest proportion OF the women are
beautiful ! found beauty as common among the
middle classes and the poor working people as OH
Fifth avenue, and shop girl beauty is just as no
tceable as that of society women. To find a pretty
woman in Paris one must go to the races and searcn
long among the gown models.
This appeals to us the essence of accurate and
careful statement The why and the wherefore may
be left to the ethnologsts and the beauty experts
The facts are unacceptable They meet you face TO
face in Fifth avenue. the subway, behind the count
ers in the shops hustling your beans to you Tor

We have no professional beauties in America
such ms drive Paris and London TO drink. We have
instead and far to he preferred, beauty spread all

OLIVE OIL Is SENT HERE
Mr.. Solari Gives the Facts as to the
Italian Product Reaching the U. S.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. our attention has been called 10
telegram from Rome published in your
issue Of Sunday June !, page ?. under
the caption. NO olive oil Sent Here.
Italy Finds None Genuine Is Exported 10
America" This Information. as far as 1t
concerns Italys exports OF olive oil 10
the United States. does not contain one
particle Of truth.
You certainly are aware that from prac-
tically every shipment Of olive oil 10 the
United States customs authorities here
select several samples and have them
analysed by their Bureau OF Chemistry,
and II any can or barrel labelled marked
or declared or even supposed TO contain
edible olive oil should contain even neg
ligible quantity or mixture OF other mat
ter the whole shipment would be conhs
Gated or refused entry by the authorities
here. We defy anybody TO prove that out of
100000 gallons of edible olive oil shipped
by Italy 10 the United States In 1912 and
out OF the same quantity shipped In pre-
vious years one gallon has been found
by the customs or pure food authorities
mixed with any cottonseed oil or other
adulterating substance. II there is any
adultcration OF edible olive oil imported
from Italy II IS done right here In the
United States and YOU Will find the proof
OF this in the judgments issued by the
Department Of Agriculture in Washing
ton. Furthermore, the adulteration is
effected after the barrels OF olive oil
have been sold and delivered here by the
importer and are out OF his control. The
INSCRIPTIONS dealer or retailer will then
mix the olive oil taken from barrels with
cottonseed oil and put it up in cans
made here and labelled with names and
emblems purporting 10 be Italian. Often
not even take the trouble OF making this
mixture. but will al up these cans with
pure cottonseed oil and sell il for olive
oil. You see, therefore. that such dis
reputable practice is resorted to In this
country only.
We may also state that not only do the
barrels and cans of edible olive oil
shipped by Italian houses. whose names
or produce brands are we'll known in this
market. contain nothing but pure olive oil.
but also that no firm directly importing
olive oil produced by these Italian houses
has ever been found guilty OF such dis
reputable and criminal practice.

Do the Rights of Free Speech and
Free Press No Longer
Hold in Paterson?

The movement 10 persuade the Senate 70 investi-
gate the suspension of constitutional rights in Pas
safe Comfy " j. as well as in the coal fields OF
West Virginia will be accelerated by the severity OF
the sentence passed yesterday on Editor Scott OF
The Passaic Weekly Issue jury having con-
victed him Of the shadowy crime OF melting hos
tility TO the government" Judge in Paterson sent
him 70 the peniteniary for an indeterminae term Of
from one to fifteen years. besides fning him $3.50.
Yet all that Scott did was TO exercise in his news
paper the liberty guaranteed to the press of crlti-
cising public officials for the manner in which they
discharge public duties. What the socialist editor
said was not only moderate compared with what
other socialists and near-socalists have said hun
dreds Of times about the police administration in
other states and cities but it differed very little In
substance from what the judge of one of the higher
New Jersey courts recently said about the oppressive
and arbitrary activities of the police and courts in
Paterson.
The editors comment may have been overdraWn
and overharsh but in few communities in this
country would the judicial authorities ever have
thought of trying to penaze it, even under
statute as vague and dubious as that which is now
being used in New Jersey for the purpose of pun
ishing what Mayor Gaynor loves to call 'seditious
or ''ragbag" criticism.
What becomes of the constitutional rights OF
free speech and free press if the police and the
courts can set up CensOrs of utterances lnclthS
hostility to the government-that is to the persons
then temporarily exercising the powers of govern
ment with greater less success? The Currah
investigating committee of the Board of Aldermen
has brought in a report making quite as serious
charges against the police of this city as Scott
made against the police of Paterson. Would such
charges if made by editors by. the signerS OF
the Curran report in their capacity as private citi-
zens, subject them in any enlightened community
to indictment and conviction on so fiimSy charge
as hostility to the government?
The higher courts Of New Jersey should do some
thing to show their disapproval of the perversion
of Justice now being practised in Paterson. II
they do not check the infringement the rights
Of the press and Of free speech now going on there
Congress will properly step in and inquire whether
citizens and residents of New Jersey are enjoying
the full protect of the guarantees of the federal
Constitution.

No DANGER of kidnapping.

But for the Over-anxious suggestion made by
The World that he should have banned ram
many and Murphy By ssIa AIR. Whitman would
probably not have found it necessary to explain
that when he said that he would accept nOmina-
ton for Mayor from any properly authorized and
constituted political body" he was not thinking of
the possibility of being gently kidnapped by the
highbnders trust which makes it headquarters in
East Fourteenth Street. AS THE World" itself
pointed out the other day. Murphy's business is
business. not politics. 1t was absolutely beyond
the bounds of credence that Mr.. Whitman could
have had a nomination from the Murphy Business
Mems League in mind when he expressed his
willingness to make the fight TO cripple Tammanys
power as the clearing agency in the alliance be
tween lawbreakers inside and outside the city adj
ministration
Mr.. Gaynor was ured to the pinnacles Of the
edifce in Fourteenth Street four years ago and
persuaded TO accept Tammany support in prefer
ence to Fusion support in his fight for the Mayor
atty That example will find no imitators this year.
Least Of all would It have any power to sway the
man who has gone furthest in uncovering the in
huences which have made Tammany powerful
and whose exceptional strength a candidate for
Mayor lies In the fact that he has the ability, the
cyperence and the determination. If elected TO
shake the pillars of the tottering Tammany temple
