FOR JUDGE HARTMAN
He Deserves the Support Of indie
pendent and Upright Voters.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The candidacy of Judge Gustave
Hartman for election 10 the Municipal
Court bench i'm the I'd judicial District has
received the approval OF leading citizens
regardless of utilization. His candidacy
presents the only means OF securing the
election Of an ant-Tammany candidate In
that judicial district. His public career
has been consistent and marked by tidel-
ity 10 the people and independence and
ability 1t is for this reason that he has
the hearty support in this campaign.

Hospital; William Farkas and many other
leading citizens of all shades of political
opinion too numerous 10 enumerate.
An active and aggressive campaign is
being waged for his election. In his sup
port there have been enlisted speakers
and canvassers representing men notable
in public life who nightly give their time
and energy I'm his cause. Thousands OF
letters are being sent out by men all over
the city to their friends In the judicial
district advocating that they vote and
work for Judge Hartman Every indie
pendent paper not affiliated with Tam
many Hall is supporting Judge Hartman.
When men OF the character Just named
have united on the candidacy Of man
and that candidacy has the approval OF
the independent press, is it not the best
evidence that the election or that candl-
date should receive the support OF all in
dependent and upright citizens?
We believe that Judge Hartman's career.
which has always been actively identified
with the best interests Of the East Side
i'm the capacity of school teacher, social
worker, Assemblyman, lawyer and Judge,
will meet with the approval Of the con-

THE MOTHER TEACHER
The Board of Education Has No Right
to Attempt to Reform Society.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir Nothing has TO be resisted so con-
stantly by people who desire to pre-
serve ,ner freedom as encroachments by
official bodies on fields outside their juris-
diction. Appointed or elected to perform
one specified service for the community.
an official body Is likely to tend toward
making effective it's opinions upon matters
lying outside the limits of its authority.
This tendency has to be checked what
ever the value of the particular opinion
may be.
strong case in point is the present
three-cornered fight going on between the
New York Board of Education. the mother
teachers and the general public In this
particular case a group of officials almost
unanimously holds certain opinions as to
the domestic relations of the community
at large, and they seek to use their ad-
ministrative power over a small body Of
citizens to demonstrate their wisdom and
concern for the wellbeing Of the race.
The Board of Education may be wholly
right in holding that mothers should re-
main at home with their children, they
married women should give place to single
women in the economic world. but they
and those who agree with their views
should bear In mind that the board was
not created to build up a laboratory for
sociological demonstrations and has no
mandate from the state 20 deal with mat
tiers beyond very clearly defined educa-
fionaI boundary To resist such inya sion
by set Of officials is as much the duty

Yet More Glorious Piff1e.

Mr. Joseph Johnson has pulled in his rhetoric a
trife as the shades of night descend upon the
Mccall campaign. But he cannot reform his logic.
That is always wild transcendent, gorgeous.
We refer to his common sense talk of yesterday.
in which he proved quite without effort that the
Fusionists will reduce municipal wages 10 per cent
and that private wages will thereupon slump an
equal amount schedule displayed the horrible
details.
There is something aweinspiring about such pifie
as the foregoing. We await hunGrily Mr.. Johnson
mathematical demonstration that Mr. Murphy-we
mean Mr. McCall-will be swept into the Mayor $
office by an overwhelming majority.

has been going on in this coun-
try. 1t is true that the purchas.
ing power of the American dollar
has fallen at a larger percentage
than the English sovereign. The
United States Bureau of Labor
has computed, from the relative
prices of food here. that the pur-
chasing price of our dollar has
fallen as regards some commodi
ties to as low as 6S cents COM
Epared with 1897. That is to say,
a dollar now would buy only 6S
per cent of what it would buy in
1897.
But it is also true in this coun-
try, to a far greater degree than
in any other country. that while
the buying power of the dollar
has declined, like the buying pC-
wer of the English sovereign and
all other coins, more dollars go
to wage-earners and to nearly
everybody than in 1897.
Here, if a dollar will buy only
three. quarters or two-thirds Of
anything it would buy several
years ago, the average mans
dollar bill has become one and
one-quarter or one and one-half
or, in some instances. one and
three-quSrters.
We are not speaking of the
commercial or financial genius
who makes a swift flight from
poverty to riches. We are speak
ing of the average-the common

his bread and butter. His wag-
es have been on the increase in
this country. for fifteen years.

colleges and universities to unite In re-

must be popularized. and to this end
this suggestion has been made: Get
the newspapers and magazines to agree
to adopt simpler spelling Of, say,
twenty five words on Jan. !, 1918;
twenty-five more on Jan. |, 1914. and
SO on. the pledge not to be binding
