Find and Punish the Grafters !

AS the states Chief Executive Governor Glynn IS
charged with the duty of enforcing the laws. He
is responsible for the administration Of the bureaus
and departments of government and the honesty
and efficiency Of their work In the most pubic
manner possible Mr. John A. HennesSy, one of Gov
ernor Suffers appointees is telling the public that
there has been fragrant dshonesty-graftng of the
most despicable sort-in the administration Of the
Department of Public Works, whose superintendent,
Mr. Peck holds office directly under the Governor.
Mr. Hennessy is declaring in great detail in the way
i Of names and amounts, that graft money was paid
to influence the letting of good roads contracts so
recently that the crime-if crime was committed-is
not outlawed.
Governor Glynn cannot afford to ignore these
charges of widespread crime in the public business.
Either they are true they are not. Their author
expresses the utmost willingness to prove his state
ments He should have every facility for doing so,
and Governor Gynn should start the machinery In
motion Department Investigations and inquiries by
special grand jures should be part of that machin-
,ery Governor Glynn has great task ahead Of him
to reorganize and revtalize the work Of the state
departments, now run much to seed. The proper
way to begin that task is to find and root out all
existing dishonesty and prevent it in future by pun
fshing those guilty Of it in the past

The Seamen's Act and Our Treaties.

The seamen's bill has undoubtedly some good pur-
poses Nobody can object to promotion of the safety
of passengers and crews, to fair equalization Of
wage costs between our foreign and our domestic
trade 1t may be- too that Jack needs greater free
dom though observations of him ashore do not dis
close him to be an altogether fettered slave; and
ii is by no means certain that desertion made easy
would increase the efficiency of the shipping SER
vice.
The relation of the bill to existing treaty obga-
tions seems, however to be open to serious chal-
lenge. 1t is admitted that the operation and en-
forcement Of the measure would conflict with 4
number of our treaties, and on that account 1t is
provided that the BILL If enacted shall not be APP
piled to foreign vessels in American ports until the
President has had time TO readjust our treaty rela-
tons or to give notice of abrogation of all treaties
with which the law would conflict. That, it must
be said is not an admirable course of procedure.
II suggests too little regard for the s6nctity Of
treaties or for due courtesy in making and unmak-
ing them.
If we concede that all the purposes of the bill
are desirable we must still regret that the way
not made clear for its enactment and enforcement
by the previous readjustment of our treaty obliga-
lions That would have been far more logical and
practical than to enact it first and negotiate after
ward. For what If some power declined to remake

1t Crates on Tammany's Nerves to

The one thing Tammany cannot face is INSIDE

Tammany is not a genuine political organization
but merely a predatory trust operating i'll the neiu

the SNUG and sleek" by dealing in protection 10
vice and crime in legislative fayors to corporations
ready to pay for them and in rake-ofs on salaries

Nothing is more narrowing to 'get-rich-quicR

of its financial operations. 1t would rather carr!

Tammany needs the money. 1t has to spend S3oo-

Funds must be gathered with a pretty fne-toothed

MORE AID FOR SULZER
Another $40 Is Offered to Help Pay
His Debts.

Sir: | have be.n looking for an honest
man all my life. and at last my efforts
are crowned with success. IL is easy
enough TO be honest in the absence OF
stress II William Suzer committed any
slight Irregularities earlier he has my
forgiveness and will have that OF the
American people. IL is a question. any
how. whether lax attention is not justi-
fable as to such law. For my part, l
would like to see few millions spent
electng honest men or paying their ex
penses or debts while wearing themselves
out In a campaign.
AS The Tribune was good enough TO for
ward for another contributor, ! take the
liberty TO inclose check for $40 toward
enabling Sulzer TO pay his debts. and will
appreciate your kindness In remailing
same to him.
People OF all parties will vindicate him
and the State of New York and them
selves by re-electing him Governor at the
next gubernatorial election. And | am
not altogether sure that he is not OF Pres
idential calibre when II is considered that
his honesty towers far above that OF the

In the Present Atmosphere He Finds
Some Consolation in His Party.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: With all the blither and slush
thrown into the murky atmosphere It's
sort Of consolation TO be a Republican.
We agree cordially with both candidates,
and then some, and we earnestly hope
that all reasonable doubts may be cleared
away so that their truthful utterances
may be so recognized by all and every
1t Is balm to our much maligned souls.
Also, We give hail TO the new leader OF
the Bull Moosers. In his advent we see
the wondrous work OF a natural law
bringing like TO meet its like, and We
view with admiration not unmixed with
awe the stentorian acclamations for this
Cincinnatus. dragged from the guberna-
torial plough and made To serve as an
humble Assemblyman. II is, indeed, well
in these troubous days TO be a Repub-
llcan We can exercise the inalienaole
right 10 vote for, or just as we see ht or

We can vote for Murphy, or. If one man
seems TO he numerically not enough. we
can vote for Bird and Hearst Shades or
Karl Marx, watch over them and us! Or
We can vote for prohibition; IL is all one
to us. blessings be upon that wise and

great cheer, for the holdovers will be
miserable Verify they will, after
Mitchell and Bird and Hearst and Sulzer

they occupy too much space and they
will be removed Be not Jealous or afraid
they of a surety will get the double-cross'
and will by their sacrifice place upon the
heroic brow OF the new Mayor the bays

also well to have a good, long memory, so

A New United States Bank.

Mr.. Vanderlip jaundly brushes aside historical
precedents when he asks Democratic President
and a Democratic Congress to re-estabIsh Bank
of the United States. Even Nicholas Bddle. re-
turned from the shades, would have hesitated to
make such suggestion to the party which still cele-
brates the birthday of Andrew Jackson and which
wrote in the platform which it returned TO power
last year: I'VE oppose the so-caed Aldrlch bill or
the establishment of a central bank"
Whatever merit Mr.. Vanderlips suggestion may
have from an economic point Of view land there are
many who believe that central bank may come into
existence again within the next twenty or twenty
five years. the time is yet ripe politically for such
q resurrection. Coordination of banking resources
under federal control must be worked out gradu-
ally in the present murky state of public opinion.
1t is unnatural even for Mr.. vanderp to expect to
reach the goal of new federalism or new nationalisn
in banking without taking number of necessary
intermediate steps.
President Wilson is. of course, absolutely opposed
to the Vanderlp plan, and the House of Repre-
sentatives could never be brought to consider it with
favor. 1t may serve very useful purpose, how
ever, in enarging the scope of the discussion OF
currency legislation now going on In Washington.
The Senate ought not to be coerced into passing
the House bill under whip and spur. That bill Is
full Of flaws and the Senate should have every
opportunity to bring II into fuller conformity with
the sentiment of the business and banking commu-
nifty There is nothing to be lost and everything to
be gained by patient study of the details OF a
measure which ought to represent a substantial
first step toward the unificaton and modernization
of the banking system.
If Mr. vanderps scheme for the creation out
right of a new federal bank delays action and
broadens discussion 1t will be doing a valuable
work.
