Treasury Methods Liberalized.

Secretary McAdooS orders regarding interest pay

Giants for government deposits will be on the same

The Public Lecture System.

The annual reunion of the public lecturers of the
local Board of Education last night was a grateful
reminder Of one feature at least of the citys school
system which is not an object of acrimonious con
troversy. 1t has not escaped observation and close
scrutiny the net results of those processes have
been chiefly TO approve its extraordinary economy
and efficiency and to secure its extension by im
tatlon in other cities large and small throughout
the land
Ii is indeed. 10 be doubted whether any other
new departure in educational matters in the last
twenty -four years has enjoyed wide and sub
stantial growth and has won rs high and as
general commentator this. In that reflection
there is cause for much local pride. since the system
now nationwide. had it's origin right here in this
city and in the Borough Of Manhattan. But in the
national extent OF it there is good reason for the
suggestion which made last night that the
ouarter-centenary. which will he celebrated next
wear will be worthy Of much more than local
observation.

AS TO AMERICAN DEMONS
Alcohol by Far the Worst Vice. a
Reader Maintains.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. As a constant reader of your edit
torials ! wish TO express disapproval Of
that which appears to-day under the cap
ton The Great American Demon-lce
Water" Doubtless it was not intended TO
be taken seriously but many of your
readers may not be possessed of your
own sense OF humor.
To suggest that Secretary Bryan in
emitting intoxicating liquors from dip
lomatic dinners is Inconsistent. as a moral
and physical benefactor. II he still serve
ice water to his guests, can only give
laid and comfort" to the enemies Of
moral and intellectual strength. Scien-
tihc investigation of the effects of alcO-
hol has gone too far to admit of that
excavation which even your mild edi-
torial provides. Users of liquor and
friends of the liquor business are eager
to believe that alcohol is 10 more harm
full than ice water. and that ice-cold bey-
erages are the very worst American
vice. even though they be temperance
drinks. II IS TO be regretted that your
great paper should lend itself. even by
indirection. TO the support OF such soph-
istry.
With Hermann Won Helmholtz. the most
eminent. German scientist OF modern
times declaring that the smallest guam
tity of alcohol drives scientific thoughts
away, and Count Won Haeseler of the
German army stating that 1.-THE soldier
who abstains altogether is the best man
mentally and physically he is
better. Brandy is the worst poison of all.
Next to ii comes beer" while English
and American authorities to the same eff
feet can be quoted almost Indefinitely.
IL would seem reasonable that diplomats.
on whose deliberations often hang the
destinies of nations. should be encouraged
10 resist that enemy which Shakespeare
long ago said men put I'm their mouths
TO steal away their brains"
II John Hay rescued diplomacy from
double dealing and deceit" why may
not William Jennings Bryan rescue il
from that type of intellectual and moral
enfeeblement which alcohol produces?
