Still Shining Against the Light.

The Democratic majority in the Senate again e1-
bibted its narrowness of view when 1t sustained
the Finance Committees amendments designed to
restrict the importation of paintings and sculpture
The provincial spirit which taxed art as luxury OF
the we'll to do. on par with high grade Havana
cigars and costly vintages, has disappeared every
where except in the Senate
The House of Representatives made art works
free on the solid CROWD that they have manifest
educational value They refine popular taste and
have a stimulating effect the higher forms OF
handicraft But the Senate has stuck to the old
backwoods view that statues and paintings are
locked up in the houses of the rich and can do no
service whatever to the general public.
As matter Of fact. most sculptures and paintings
brought In 90 sooner or later into the public gal
leries They become national inheritance doing
work OF civilization worth thousands of times the
petty revenue which short-sighted policy would
collect upon them in order TO check importation.
Art should be made free, not for the benefit Of the
few who can afford to buy foreign paintings and
sculptures but for the benefit Of the community
which is sure in the long run to be educated and
broadened by them.
In conference capmittee the enlightenment Of the
House should pssvai over the Hunkerism Of the
Senate.

The Gaynor Republicans Should Stand
Up and Be Counted

Nobody is likely to dispute the assertion Of THE
Brooklyn Standard Union" that mo Republican is
under the slightest Obligation from party stand
point to support John Purroy Mitchell at the official
primaries because he designated by the Repub-
lican designation committee" 1t is the intention Of
the primary law that designation shall not fore
close a nomination. Action within the party should
be free until the primary is over, and there is no
good reason why the Republicans who insist that
Mr. Gaynor would make a better anti-Tammany
nominee than Mr.. Mitchell should not enter him
openly as candidate in the Republican primary.
1t would clear up the situation materially If they
would If the Mayor were to be put in nomination
by petition everybody would know just what pro-
portion of the Republican voters regarded him as
having qualified as "anti-Tammany" leader sim
ply because the Murphy council of eight decided to
get along this time without his services figure

of responsibility There are well wishers Of Tam
many even in the Republican ranks, and 1t would
be good thing to take count Of those who SYM
pathze with the Mayor in his grotesque performance
of "revenging himself on Murphy and at the same
time working for Murphy's benefit
Ave hardly know what logic these Gaynor Repub-
leans can use in defending themselves from the
charge Of hypocrisy. John ]. Lyons, the Republican
leader in the 31st Assembly District who is trying
to swing votes to Gaynor, says that Republicans
are upset because their ideal candidate, Charles s.
Whitman, the man OF the hour, was handed deal
the like Of which was never known before in the
history of politics" The rank injustice Of the deal
must be admitted. Yet how can any Republican
who considered Mr. Whitman an ideal candidate be
so lacking in a sense Of humor to welcome
substitute Whitman's anthess in city politics. the
only man who ventured to denounce him as an
enemy" because Of his relentless attacks on police
corruption and its benefciaries? Even Murphy had
juster appreciation of Mr. Whitman's work He

Education in the Philippines.

The story Of American extension OF pubic lnstruc-

sane principle that the way to teach is to teach

THE PANHANDLERS
How the Cripples Welfare Society
Serves the Public.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. BEING a resident OF New YORK ana
a very close observer, find that most OF
,be panhandling and begging on the
streets OF this great. warm-hearted city
Is done by armless and legless men ana
boys In my opinion. there Is no neces-
slty OF one-legged and non-legsed men De-
coming a public charge.
Panhandllng and various other forms OF
begging need not be practised for hVe-
llhood by this class OF cripples. The Grip
pies Welfare Society. located at NO. LOO
Fifth avenue, New York City. founded
believe. by George w. Ryder. who him
self has only one leg, IL a philanthropic
work which should be appreciated by
every man, woman and child OF the
metropolis.
This society. | have ascertained after
thorough investigation, has within the
last year done a great service not only
for New York-for which II was chieny
established-but 10 Jersey City and many
other localities tributary 10 the big city.
For years the license begging privileges
have been granted TO the one-arm. one
leg armless and legless cripples. but since
the establishment Of the Cripples' We'll
fare Society many OF these besgsrs nave
disappeared from our streets The arti-
fetal limbs provided them BY this society
have put them on their feet and given
them a new start in life.
This charitable organization Is ono
which I believe to be deserving OF imam
cial support not only from the citizens OF
New York but of all large cities. Tho
charity Of this society. although orig
inally intended for New York, extends
considerably further.
In a recent talk with Mr. Ryder, the
secretary Of the Crpples' Welfare So
ciety. | learned that there are about ten
thousand crippled persons. mostly one
legged men and children. In and around
New York. There are about one hundred
thousand men in the United States who
have but one leg. There are more than
this number. but as no statistics OF Grip
ples-excepting the Civil War and Spanish
War yeterans-have been taken bS the
government the exact figures cannot be
given.
Mr.. Ryder contends that the artificial
limb or limbs will make the cripple phys
ically capable OF accepting clerical pc"
sition should he be mentally qualifed.
There are such positions as running an
elevator, driving a wagon, janitor work
and being a Waterman. but where man
has only one arm he is not wanted Fur
thermore, this society makes no charge
for the artificial limbs which II supplies
TO the unfortunates. All cases reported to
the organization are carefully investi-
rated, and II deserving the cripple Is
given an artificial limb and every effort
is made to get him a position.
