PRAISE FOR CANDIDATE MARKS
In Him New Workers Can Vote for
an Honest, Efficient and Public
Spirited Man.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: have been following the news
items In The Tribune very carefully all
summer being very much interested I'm
the New York mayoralty campaign. and
have been struck by the fact that so little
has been said about Marcus NJ Marks.
fusion candidate for Borough President
OF Manhattan.
| have had the opportunity OF knowing
Mr.. Marks personally. and firmly believe
that never was a more honest, efficient
and public spirited man put up for public
Office. As is usually the case when sucn
men are brought into politics. Mr.. Marks
did not seek the Office to which he now
aspires but the Office sought him. Every
vote for him will ne a vote for man who
will in every way be fitted TO continue tho
marvellous work now being carried on by
his predecessor, Mr.. McAneny.
IL is now up to the people OF New York
to show that they appreciate It when
they are given the opportunity 10 vote for
a really clean and independent man TO
be their public servant. NJ. NJ. 5.

MANUFACTURERS AND MEXICO
No Action Has Been Taken with Re-
spect to the Wilson Policy

70 the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In to-day's issue OF TIC Tribune
on page 3 sub-head reads "Manufsct-
urcrs Find Fault with Wilson Admins
tration.'
This appears AZ the top Of short aru-
Gle referring to the results OF an inquiry
made by the foreign department OF the
National Association OF Manufacturers
into business conditions in Mexico. The
sub-head gives the reader an erroneous
impression. as the National Association OF
Manufacturers has taken no official action
with respect to the Mexican situation. nor
has the association or any group or It's
members officially expressed an opinion
with respect TO the administrations ac-
ton regarding Mexico.
The inquiry into business conditions
there was conducted as a matter OF
routine work on the part OF the foreign
department OF the National Association
Of Manufacturers for the purpose OF Civ
ing its members the most reliable infor-
nation obtainable on the business stu
alton and purely from business point OF
view. WILLIAM NJ. BENNEh,

measure Of relief from some of the worst features
Of the case may be obtained at once merely by the

The monstrous displays Of advertising hoardings

Double-Jointed Prophecy.

II Representative Serene 4. Payncs speech on
the tariff conference report was not misunderstood
by the press reporters he got himself into a some
what awkward predicament as a prophet. In one
part of his remarks he said that American COM
Inerce and industry would suffer a disastrous set
back under the new law and in the other he
declared that all the small reductions in tariff
would be absorbed at the wharf and would never
reach the consumer.
1t must be evident that if domestic prices remain
as high as they are now no great damage can he
done to domestic producers through the Under
wood revision. In sense tie bill will be a
failure, since its trainers intended to reduce the
prices of many articles Of popular consumption.
But it will not be failure from the stiff protec-
zionist point of view which Mr.. Payne has always
made his own since it will demonstrate that there
are other causes more potent than tariff duties are
in determining domestic prices
The same argument was made against the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement. Its opponents said
that it would injure American producers and yet
Weld no benefit in lowered prices TO American
consumers. If two such contrary results can follow
in the lowering Of tariff rates if rates be
raised so as to benefit the domestic producer with
out in any way injuring the domestic consumer
tariff making becomes avmere Sleight-of-hand jug
Cling with rates of no material bearing the wei
fare Of the great masses Of the people
II would have been more logical for Mr.. Payne
to stick to theory and TO say that If duties go
down and the domestic producer is thereby Grip
pied prices will go down also and the temporary
benefit the consumer derives therefrom will be
obtained at the cost Of the nations industrial
efficiency.

The Fewer the Better?

Il do not believe that women are being degraded
by the fashions of the times: the fewer clothes we
can wear with modesty the better SO Miss Jane
Adams is quoted as expressing herself upon the
question Of the hour.
The first impression of these words is delight
fully shocking. But a closer reading Of Miss
Addams's opinion shows beautiful begging OF the
whole question, with every hint OF shock carefully
eliminated with modesty" the qualifying
words, it will he observed, with which she Grapes
her otherwise bald and too convincing praise OF
fewer clothes" And there you are.
What IS modest supply of clothes? To some
sensitive natures only race of women clad in meal
bags would be completely pure. TO the general run
of mankind modesty expressed quantitatively In
terms Of clothes is so variable factor-beng one
thing on the bathing beach another at afternoon
tea. and yet another AZ dinner and again something
quite else in grand opera-tha an accurate guiding
rule is quite understandable from such confusing
source.
Altogether. Miss Adams mas taken very aStuie
stand. She pats modesty on the back. And in the
same breath urges on the excellent work OF making
women more comfortable and more beautiful. Can
even Mr. Comstock find fault with so beautifully
impartial an attitude?

Mitchell or Mccall? A Clear Cut
Choice Is Now Offered to
the Voters.

The two candidates for Mayor have now put their
hands face up on the table. Which hand 1oes
the public like better?
Take first the question of freedom from personal
and partisan obligations. Mr.. Mccall says that he
will be mo mans man. in the Mayoralty. Yet he
owes his nomination absolutely to one man The
council of eight at Delmonico's designated him as
Tammany's nominee and in so doing 1t reflected
Murphy's idea of what Tammanys move ought TO
be in critical local situation. Mayor Gaynor was
turned down because he had not been SUBSEQUENT
enough Mr.. Mccall nominated because II
was known that he would he sufhcienty supSer-
Went If Murphy had wanted to run candidate
who could go out before the voters and claim To De
no mans man" he would have renomnated ME-
Gaynor who could exclam II have been Mayor
without fear of public challenge.
With the hand-medown nomination given 10 MI
Mccall contrast the tedious and complicated proc
esses which resulted in Mr.. MitcheFs recognition
as the nominee of all the fusion forces. His selec-
ton represented the crOss-wOrklngs OF huhureus
Of influences. He is tho choice OF the RepuDhca"'
Progressive and Independence League oreanza
tions as we'll as OF the original citizens nominating
committee and has behind him besides very large
element in the Democratic party man with such
backing and with nomination secured after such
Wdespread effort could not possibly be one man >
man or the man Of any group of political bosses
On the question Of economical administration ana
good government Mr. Mccall talks vaguely about
reducing expenditures and taxation. But what
motive would Murphy Mayor have for cutting
down the public outlay. which the 'smug ana
sleek" fatfen? The more economical the city gov
eminent would be the more would Iammany be
driven to live on the profits Of vice and crime, and
living on such profits has become somewhat haz-
ardous since fearless prosecutor In the District
Attorneys office has taken to uncovering the SHINY
trails of police corruption Mr.. Mitchels candidacy
ON the contrary stands for real economy, since 1t
stands for the protection of citizens without regard
TO party against an organization which Is work
ing for its own pocket all the time as actively
under Podesta Murphy it used TO do under
Podestas Tweed and Croker.
ON the third vital issue-that Of police admin
istraton-Mr. Mccall merely advocates the crea-
ton of a special commission TO take jurisdiction
Of gambling and prostitution. Dividing authority
and enlargng opportunities for graft will certainly
not remedy the police situation Mr.. Mitchell says
on the contrary: 81 propose, if elected, to have
Police Commissioner who will war on gunner
crooks thugs cadets and procurers OF vice. That
is the only way to get anywhere. The citadel of
notice corruption will never be taken until the
MAYORS Office and the Commissioners office are
filed by men who are real enemies of Tammany
and the Tammany nurtured System"

The Madness of the Balkans.

A year ago Bulgaria was allied with Greece and
Servia against Turkey Now she Is allied with
Turkey against them In the interim Turkey has
been soundly thrashed by Bulgaria and her allies
and Bulgaria has been thrashed first by those allies
and then by Turkey.
If there is any other combination of affairs in
the lap of the gods the world will not be surprised
10 see it rattle down. The lumber room of Eu-
rome" has in a twelvemonth given the world more
surprises and more reasons for disgust than any
other equal area OF the globe ever has in equal
time
Impartial historians hereafter will probably re-
cord that for the untoward and abhorrent features
OF the case which have so abounded half the re-
sponsibillty rests upon the Balkan States them
selves for their turbulent and savage disposition
and half upon the great powers for their selfish
meddling

The Sad Lot of Murphy.

One pathetic aspect Of the discovery made by
the simple and trusting Evening sun that vote
for Mccall is vote against Murphy is the fact
that poor Mr. Murphy is thus left utterly out OF the
present campaign. without candidate for the
Mayoralty to his name.
8. This is crievous situation. For whom shall q
member of Tammnny vote? For whom shall MI
Murphy himself vote? Must he. If he is TO exercise
his freeman's right in November. vote against
himself?
Perhaps The Evening sun can shed some light
upon this perpleXing problem. Perhaps ii can also
give a suggestion Of what ii would regard as a
genuine a-woo Murphy ticket, guaranteed not to
fade.
