The selection Of Dr. Harvey w. Wiley as Health
Commissioner for this city, said TO have been prac
ticallv agreed on, would be an excellent one his

an expert for the federal government diSp"yeu ie''
lessness. independence and ability. These QUALITIES
would commend him as guardian of the pubic
health here.
One of the biggest jobs for this citys Health De-
partment is the protection of the food supply Inc
citys milk. its eggs butter, meats and poultry, ltS
broad and cake even its vegetables and manufact-
ured food products sold in cans and bottles denanu

because of the conditions which must govern Tue
production and transportation of most or "na' 'ne

the most pressing task now before the department.
DR.. Wiley is admirably qualified to take up anu
enlarge the work which Dr. Lederle has begun along
this line. He would have the full confidence ana
support of the public.

Although we are not considered as full

Probe the Asphalt Charges to the Bottom

The fat charges that asphalt company paid
money to William Sulzer, then Governor, and John
A. Hennessy his general investigator, to obtain a
virtual monopoly of the asphalt used state high
ways should be probed to the very bottom by Mr..
Osborne, Governor Glynns investigator If his
discoveries warrant it, there should be indictments
in Albany County, or wherever lies the jurisdiction
TO match those which Mr. Whitman's John Doe In
vestigation here has produced.
The men who made these charges in presenting
their case against Mr.. Carlisle, Superintendent of
Highways, to the Governor are responsible bust
ness men, They assert they have the proof. There
should be not moments unnecessary delay in
producing it, If these charges are true the sooner
the state knows it the better If they are not the
sooner an injustice to the named in them is
righted the better. Certain it is that the Whitman
Investigation and the Mcclure testimony here have
proved that there vast deal Of rottenness and

Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Free Food"

The high cost of living continues its disturbing
advance in Canada as well as here, and Sir Wifrid
Laurier, having no trusts-meat, cold storage or
other-to attack there, has fastened upon the poor
old tariff as his scapegoat In his fight for free
food before Dreadnoughts he is not to be deferred
apparently by the case Of the tariff reformers at
Washington, whose inability to stem the tide OF
high prices by this method they themselves freely
admit.
What earthly difference it would make, for in
stance to wipe out Canadas duty on wheat when
she exports ten times much Of this fOodstuff as
she consumes is difficult to understand. Sir VIII
frid complains that the reduction Of the American
duties is causing the United States to drain Canada
Of food, but this only be If the prices here are
higher than they in Canada, and while they re-
main higher Canada surely cannot import wheat
from the United States, duty or duty. Nor can
she import it from any other part of the world
unless her bid equals Uncle Sans.
Free food" is grand old slogan, but Sir Wilfrd
should be warned that to raise false hopes, In
politics. is business that never pays in the long
run.

A Programme for the Republican Con-
ference.

Plans for the approaching Republican conference
are said to call for enactment by the Legislature
VI a progressive direct primary bill, short ballot
constitutional amendment, Massachusetts ballot
bill and the creation of State Board of Estimate
or budget body similar to the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment in this city. These are excel
lent proposals They will gain the approval Of
every element in the community sincerely DESTROYS
Of improved political and governmental conditions.
Many Republican leaders are now record favor
ing the short ballot The Republican platform OF
1912 favored this reform and direct primary with
proper safeguards for the voters as far up the
political scale as legislators but not to include
state officers But the advocacy of the Massachu-
sets ballot is distinct advance for most orSani-
cation Republicans to the point occupied by Gov
ernor Hughes in lonely state The budget idea is
being tried out by the Democrats but existing egis-
ation needs improving and strengthening.
The Republicans in this conference, though, VIII
have TO 90 further than these plans contemplate II
they expect to make good with the bulk of the
voters now dissatisfied with Republican conditions.
Advocating good and needed legislation is all right,
but all the Republican advocacy in the world may
not incline Tammany Senate to pass such legisla-
ton. Advocacy of the election Of a progressive
Republican as Speaker of the Assembly and re-
Mobilization of the Republican organization so as to
put progressives of modern political ideas in charge
will be much more to the point. These matters are
completely within the power of the Republicans to
accomplish They will be important in themselves
and significant of new spirit and vitality in the
party If the conference urges them it will be doing
real work

Lord Haldane has impressively commemorated
the ninetieth anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine.
From time to time that famous utterance has been
variously commented upon, but seldom more to the
point than at the London Thanksgiving Day dinner.
Years ago Lord Clarendon declared that Great Brit
ain would not recognize the doctrine interna-
tiuna law. But here Is of the most eminent
members of the British government, man partcu-
larly known for his sobrety of thought and weight

not only for himself but also for his government,
and in a significant degree, for the world at large.
1t was welcome declaration.
1t was perhaps most welcome because of the
frank and explicit recognition not only of the valid
itv of the doctrine but also of the right Of the
United States to interpret and apply it at its own
discretion In that is to be perceived the superiority
under some circumstances of recognized national
doctrine to international law. The United States
has put forward this policy and it is respected by
the world because, as Lord Haldane says, 1t is seen
TO be on the whole for the good of the world. But
the other nations do not to interpret 1t,
they would international law. They leave that to
the United States, with the assurance that this
country will realize that upon its right interpreta-
ton and use depends the doctrines vindication.
The gist of Lord Haldanes remarks was in their
reminder Of the responsibility which the doctrine
imposes upon this, country. He did not assume to

THE BLUE ANCHOR SOCIETY
An Appeal for the Support Of a Little
Known Charity.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to call the attention of
your readers to the work of the Blue
Anchor Society, a womans national asso-
citation. which needs new recruits. People
read OF wrecks and disasters on our
coasts and lakes and know OF the gal
liant rescues by the United States Life
saving Service DO they ever think OF
what is done for those rescued people
when they are brought ashore-always
drenched to the skin, worn out and
weary having In most cases lost all their
luggage? Can they be reclothed by the
crew at the lifesaving station. without
deprlving those surfmen of their own
change of garments?
One generous hearted woman, Mrs.
Gabriel Kent OF New York, thought OF
this matter thirty-three years ago and set
herself zealously TO work to form an
association OF women who would provide
garments and comforts for the survivors
OF wrecks. The association was formed
and has been acting as an auxiliary TO
the government ever since. We provide
garments for men, women and children,
taking care that everything shall be new
and good, so that people may be en-
abled to travel decently and comfortably
clad TO their homes.
Many Of our members and subscribers
have passed away In these years Notably

inator of the society; Mrs. Thomas Crane,
OF Connecticut; Mrs. Claudius L. Mcneil,

 The bill, if passed, will prevent the ownership by Japanese or Chinese of any land in the state and the Japanese government has entered a strong protest against he passage of the measure.
 1t is not believed here that the Japanese government will do more than protest and may boy colt American goods. but as the balance of trade between the two countries is in favor of Japan they would be the greatest losers in the event of a boycott.
