The "Tut. Tut" School of Craftsmanship.

1t is difficult not to take a very gloomy view Oh
President Wilson's reTettabe exclamation on the
golf links All things considered, the facts are deS-
peratey damning He had attempted Il short put
The bali rolled up to the edge of the hole and hung
there And all that crossed the lips of His Excel
lency the President of the United States was a
meek Tut tut"
If Mr.. Wilson had taken any of the recoghlzeu
modes of expression it would be easy to excuse Il
certain natural calmness and restraint Had ne
pressed his lips together firmly and looked unu''er
able thoughts, or thrown the putter into the pushes
or knocked down the Caddy, there could be little
room for criticism.
But to sum up the sensations of such moment
with Il tut. tut" is an appalling revelation The
reflection is not so much upon President Wilson aS
a golfer as upon him as a statesman \ Pre'loch
who will say tut tut" over a missed put Will say
tut. tut" over laundering Attorney General or
any other mess calling for drastic action and pain
speech
President Wilson may be an excellent putter
But he sorely needs vocabulary. ana the
stronger the better.

An Open Forum for
Public Debate
A DEFENCE OF Mr.. MELLEy
His Achievements Are Recited and he
Is Compared to Napoleon.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The writer. a former New Haven
employe. asks the privilege OF saying a
word in Mr.. Mellen's behalf to those who
have unthinkingly Joined in denouncng
the New Haven's president
Mr. Mellen is at the head Of business
that gives employment end wages to
some 1900 persons. II he were the nalis'
nant. crooked creature that various news
papers have pictured could he ever have
reached such a position? Hardly ne
would have been stopped short years aha
years ago.
Consider his magnificent Achievements
Take the Central New England Tor IN
stance. which he has made pay annualF
go per cent on its net cost.
To build up New England is his grea'
ambition For example. he has es'ao'
lished an industrial bureau when has
brought TO New England new industries
valued at more than 100000 and glVihs
employment 10 5000 persons. lie is DONG
his utmost 70 exploit the wonderful vaea.
ton attractions OF New England. Carel.l
estimates now make New Enslah's
pleasure business amount 10 more tnsa
slOo0O0,00O.
The vituperation and defamation .nA.
have been heaped on Mr.. Mellen have nSa
n demoralizing effect on New Haven en-
ployes. Fear. uncertainty and discocrsss
ment are reflected in their dealings vi"
the public.
why not be really judicious IN our JUGS
ment OF Mr. Mellen? II can't DO aa5
harm and II may do lot Of good II wa
certainly put little more heart IN wv

The Prophet Speaks.

There was all the simple confidence Of the Farm
ers' Almanac in Colonel George IIaryeys prophecy
delivered before sailing for Europe Said he without
a seconds hesitation:
There will he hard times-that is money strnt
genCy-for time 10 come. The Democratic
administration will be blamed for this. but the blame
will be without justification.
In regard to local politics it looks to me at pres
ent as If there would be three tickets in the field
in the mayoraty contest. Under these conditions
the best thing that Tammany do will lie to
nominate Mayor Gaynor With three tickets in the
field he would win as sure as fate.
1t is pleasant to have all this settled so that we
can cease to worry during the hot weather And
when the summer is over and November is approach
ing we can all resume our interest In politics For
by that time Colonel Harvey will have reversed all
his prophecies and be announcing ready money, real
blame for the Democratic administration and last
place in the municipal race for Mayor Gaynor.
That is the pleasantest thing about Colonel Har-
vey's prophecies-at one time or another he is sure
to please everybody.

Strange Doings on {" A Single Track. "

In letter written 10 Colonel Harvey after GER
tain tragic incident in their friendship President
Wilson said that his was mind which operated on
"a single track" In the California white slave
cases the Presidents mind to be operating on
that single track simultaneously In opposite direc
tions.
The suspension without pay of Special Agent Her
rington who had joined District Attorney McNab
i'm protesting against Mr. McReynoldSs programme
Of delay and favorltism, would be unacCountable ex
cept on this theory The argument of the Presidents
letter TO Mr. McReynolds was, in effect What YOU
did was right and proper, but what McNab and Her
rington wanted done more right and
proper and we must reject your suggestions and
carry out theirs. Let put them out OF Office for
showing us how to avoid a dangerous scandal and
then do the best can to save ourselves
The country owes debt Of gratitude TO McNab
and Harrington for their steadfastneSS and courage
as officers of the Department of Justice The adj
ministration owes them special debt for warning
it i'm time of the imminence Of egrcgouS political
blunder. Faithful are the wounds of friend. But
the friend who wounds always takes chances. In
stead Of being rewarded he is likely to be turned
down in order To the face Of somebody higher
MP" who has been guilty of misjudgment Such a
fate is almost certain under administration whose
trains of thought run rapidly on the same track
in exactly opposite directions.

One Poor Excuse Begets g Poorer.

Discussing the failure to veto the sundry civil
appropriation act, our esteemed neighbor The
World" offers an excuse which is even weaker
than the Presidents original excuse. 1t said yes
terday: when the sundry civil bill finally came
before Mr. Wilson for his signature the question
was whether he should make the best Of a bad
ment should stop because there was no money to
carry it on
The President was in such predicament.
When the bill reached him he knew exactly what it
contained and could have acted upon it at once 1t
was in conference for several weeks with only one
inconsequentia item in dispute. Had he diSap-
proved it promptly because Of the antitrust law
rider Congress could either have repassed it over
the veto or passed a new act with the rider elim-
mated before July /, when the new fiscal year
begins.
Moreover, the failure Of a supply bill does not
usually stop the business Of the government. Last
summer President Taft vetoed the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation act twice and
the army appropriation act once because Of riders
objectionable to him. The wheels of government
did not stop on that account. Congress twice
passed resolutions extending the appropriations car
ried in similar measures for the preceding fiscal
year and the new acts did not become laws until
late in August 1912. To put through such stop
gap resolutions ordinarily requires only few hours
Mr. Wilson knew that he would have made his
case even worse if he had pleaded the imaginary
necessity Of keeping the machinery Of the govern
ment In operation Even without that aggravation
his apology was disngenuous and futile enough

A CAPITAL QUESTION
Answered by Rules of Grammar and
Analogy.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Being a subscriber 20 your influ-
entail paper and having always found
The Tribune a patriotic keeper of the
true American faith and ideals I place
before YOU a question of moment. II is
this. Kindly tell me why whenever your
paper has cause to publish news concern
Ing the negro race II always fails 10 use
the capital y?
Kindly tell me in your Peoples Col
umn" do YOU hold it to be proper, progress
sive and just 10 deny the negro race a
simple and correct grammatical right. a
right always accorded all other people, re-
gardless OF race. creed or color?
New York. June "a. 1913. W. c. NJ.
THE Tribune in this matter agrees
with a usage which Is so general as
to be substantially universal and which
is. moreover. based upon perfectly
sound grammatical principles. Other
racial names and adjectives are capl-
talized because they are derived from
geographical or other proper names.
OF course we capitalize African, Sene-
gambian, Ethiopian, Haussa, Soudan-
ese, Zulu, etc. just az we do American.
European. etc, and FOR the same rea-
son. Negro" however, is derived
from the Latin common adjective
Niger. and means simply black" and
therefore We do not capitalize it any
more than we do white. brown, red or
yellow in speaking of the races Of those
colors. When we speak of negroes
and whites" or of Africans and Amer
leans" we treat them impartially;
in the latter case capitalizing both,
and in the former neither.-Ed.l
