THE SULLIVAN LAW
II Encourages Crime, Says Defence

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: since the Appellate Division 10y
vote OF three TO two declared the sullivan
law constitutional. il is surprising that no
effort has been made to obtain the repeal
Of this piece OF mischievous legislation.
which disarms the aw-abiding citizen and
leaves him helpless at the mercy OF the
thugs, burglars and murderers. II a
small community is invaded by group
OF bank robbers. hod-up men and burg
lars the local authorities do not disarm
the citizens in order 10 protect them
against violence. on the contrary, we
read Of posses OF citizens aiming to fight
the Invaders and capture the miscreants.
But "A different plan has been adopted
TO meet such an emergency in the great
City OF New York and the great state Of
New York. with the result that we have
experienced remar bic carnival OF vo-
loncc. IIold-ups arc now boldly commit
ted in open daylight on crowded streets,
because the thugs know that any citizen
who should dare to use "A pistol--the only
weapon which is effective against such
people--in order 10 save his or anothers
person or property from violence would
be arrested and sent TO Jail as fclon.
And woe to the luckless man who incurs
the cnmity OF gang, for he must either
submit TO their punishment or become
felon for defending his life.
If, however the Sullivan law should at
some future time be strictly enforced, II
such thing should be possible as the
total abolition OF pistols. so that not only
decent citizens, but also thugs. burglars
and murderers should be deprived or the
use OF pistols. would the criminals then
cease 10 ply their vocation? Murder has
been done since Cain slew Abel, and We
have no reason to believe that crimes OF
violence were less frequent before the in
vention Of firearms than after.

tional disadvantage that they enfeeble cur

THE NEW AMERICANISM
Ostrich Policy of elf-Deception the
Chief Ingredient, Says a Reader.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In your editorial on Mr.. Wilson's
remark that, in his judgment, Hamilton
was un-Americau you conclude that II
was mot IIamiltons craftsmanship. but
the new craftsmanship. that is un-Ameri-
can" And is il not so? Did not Mr.
Bryan start the importation of Swiss ideas
which Messis. Roosevelt. Wilson and the
other put-the-cdrt-befor -the-horse re
formers" have been harping on ever since,
and which have been tried and not found
entirely wanting in some Of our thlnly
populated states? These states are more
like Switzerland than our nation as a
whole. which In no wise proves that the
nation should adopt what serves as fair
temporary expedlent in small states.
think Emerson's saying that We are
all wise. but we differ in art. applies 10
this situation Hamilton strikes me as
pre-eminently an artist in government:
BRYAN. Roosevelt and Wilson as merely

the fact--that half the people are not

can. and il is noteworthy that President
elect Wilson is planning to have a pack

no suffrage women. Is not this doubly UNI

This Improvement is due he said. TO

strolled about the station, looked the To-

After an hour or so his wife sent for

hiding men and boat entirely from the
view Of the unlocking crew aboard the
tug.

Like duck coming up from dive, the
boat freed herself Of the deluge OF water,
only to take a second plunge under when
again came buoyantly up, and with every
man of her half-drowned crew in his
place.
While the life-savers were battling thus
with the seas wind and tide carried them
fully 80 yards from the vessel. Efforts
to regain the ground lost were continued
with renewed vigor. the surfmen now un-
shipping their oars and adding their
strength to gasoline power. For more
than half an hour the unequal fight went
on, the boat gaining, then losing, then
gaining again. the oarsmen frequently
having to stop rowing and hold on to their
seats to keep from being washed over
board.
At last, having shipped many seas and
repeatedly filled. the boat got within
twenty five yards of the tug-almost near
enough to heave a line into the hands Of
her crew. Keeper Mc0inley, who held the
long steering oar. states in his report to
the department that the surf around the
wreck was the worst he had ever en-
cOuntered In twentynine years spent on
the beach. The master OF the tug adds
his testimony also to that Of the keeper
regarding the condition Of the sea, with
the statement that on two occasions. as
he watched the efforts of the guard to
get alongside, their boat was flung so
high above the surface Of the water as to
show daylight underneath her entire
length.
growing worse, the gale having now at.
tanned almost the velocity Of a hurri-
cane. and the seas become miniature
mountains. Moreover. the tempest-tossed
surfboat. on getting in near the wreck.
found herself In the tolls Of an irre-
sistibie current. aEainst which the power
of men and machinery combined availsd
nothing.

panks. 1t was no place, however, In
which to take stock of casualties. The
surfmen, therefore, backed away for the
shore with as much speed as could be
made with the boats three remaining
oars.
Skillful surfmanship Won the day, and
the battered and disabled boat, weighted
down nearly to the gunwaleS by Its load
of eighteen men, reached the beach with
out further accident.
1t was learned from the shipwrecked
crew that one of their number. the fire
man. had perished after the tug strand
ed. Rendered temporarily insane by fear,
he had jumped into a boat and started to
lower it, A sea came along while he
was working at the fall and up-ended the
craft, pitching him headlong into the sea.
Keepers McGindley and Nichols were
the recipients of letters from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury highly praising the
conduct OF all who participated in the
days hazardous work.
