THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Not many people realize that there is now going
on in New York one Of the most unusual departures
in building construction ever attempted The twelve
story building OF the Consolidated Gas Company now
being erected at 18th street and Irving Place has
six stories that are practically soaring In mdair
without foundation THE Engineering News" ex-
plains the phenomenon follows AS the old
building is strong enough to bear this additional
weight II decided to suspend six OF the seven adj
dtonsl stories heavy grders in the roof OF the
addition. the Orders themselves being supported on
steel columns go feet high reaching to the ground
alongside the old building. The seventh additional
story rests on the Orders"

A Pan-American Holiday.

If Columbus Day is TO be celebrated at all as a
holiday it ought TO be appropriately observed. That
goes without saying. There is. Of course differ
ence Of opinion on the main issue. Some people
oppose new holidays and would rather abolish some
which have Others would increase their
number until VIC had ut least a month the year
round
But if there is to he another universal holiday,
October II would seem TO be a good date For one
thing, 1t occurs in month which has other hoi-
day. and falls almost exactly midway between Labor
deg, at the beginning Of September, and Thanks
giving. at the end Of November. For another thing
il commentaries an event which really Of SUI
prerne importance. If it had not been for the dis
coveSy Of America there would have been no Fourth
of July nor Washington's Birthday nor Thanks
giving
Moreover more than half of the states are already
observing Columbus Day legal holiday and it
does not seem likely that any Of them will forsake
the PRACTICE II would therefore probably be a

SULzER AND TAMMANY
The Less of Two Evils To Be Pre-
ferred.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The New York Times" leader OF
to-day, In answering the Rev. Or. Park
hurst for his censuring that daily on ac-
count OF its attitude toward the impeach-
ment OF Governor Sulzer, puts the three
following questions: |. is there no way to
combat Tammany save that OF condoning
all OF Suffers faults? 2. Because Murphy
IL known 10 be a sinner. must the SulZer
transgressions be overlooked? g. Would
there be no moral harm in suppressing
the impeachment charges because of the
need Of belaboring Tammany?
Here is the reply: \ suppression OF the
Impeachment proceedings would by no
means amount to the condoning of Sui
zer's faults. If any. Should there be suf-
ficient evidence TO show that Governor
Sulzer did commit statutory wrong.
court proceedings could be regularly in
stituted and the matter judicially dis
posed OF by due process OF law. The sus-
tainment OF the impeachment. however,
would, on the other hand. mean victory
for Tammany and the sanction OF all the
dark and devious methods 1t has en-
ployed, both in this particular instance
and In general, to continue its plottings
against good government. II Tammany
IL to BIO combated at all. the COMPRISING
of its defeat in it's present conspiracy is
tho best and nearest opportunity TO do so.
Even granted that Governor Sulzer is
guilty as charged. the people OF the State
of New York would now be placed befo'e
the alternative Of choosing between two
evils. Whether the prevalence Of Tam

A New Type of Railroad Director

The election Of President Hndey Of Yale Uni
versity to the directorate of the New York New
Haven & Hartford Railroad ranks by the side of
the dismissal of Mr.. Mellen from the presidency as
one Of the most refreshing and hopeful incidents in
the recent history of that corporation. In some
respects it is the more significant of the two since
it means not merely the abandonment Of an abuse
but also the adoption Of new positive and aggres-
sive policy under which recurrence of Mellenism
should he impossible.
The significance of it is not confined, either, to
that railroad system. A new type OF railroad
director is presented. which other roads cannot ig-
nore Nobody can challenge the commanding fitness
of the type any more than Of the individual. DR..

The High Cost of Charm.

Foreigners are always impressed by the charming
look of the American shopgirl. She is usually
pretty and always trinity dressed. The average OF
good dressing is undoubtedly higher In America
than anywhere else In the world-and propaDly
reaches its highest point right here on our New hork
streets.
That such dressing cannot be had for nothing Is
something that every husband can guess. IL Is
rather startling to be told by the dressmakers "f
Chicago. however, that the shopeirl spends 800 II
wear OH her clothes. The other figures given are
more crcdble-SI5,O00 as the top expenditure OF Il
few. $4,000 by a hundred women of society, Sl''oo
by well dressed cubwomen' and S2'o by the
senographer. But that the shopgirl ana the FACTOR!
girl spend practically half of their wages III co'neS
is rather startling news
We should hate TO see the net amount of charm
in the world reduced. But are the dressmakers OF
Chicago risht-and. if so. is the charm worth the
extravaganza?

THE OFFENSIVE SWEAR-WoRD
Why Not Use the Beautiful Words
Instead?

To the Editor The Tribune.
Sir In our daily intercourse We are TOO
often reluctantly compelled 10 listen TO
Objectionable words and phrases, uttered
by all kinds OF men. which are likely 10
have n detrimental effect on the rising
generation. because they are quick to iml-
, tate their elders.
There may be diverse opinions as TO
what constitutes swearing or profanity
but whatever words may be included IN
the category OF swearing, IL is matter
Of no little surprise that blasphemous ana
offensive words are so often used, wneh
We remind ourselves OF the richness ana
variety OF words in the English language
seeing that there are $4,000 words AT our
command, according 10 the latest est-
mate.
Would il not be beneficial to infuse INTO
the minds Of the people marked dis.
gust for these offensive utterances ano
TO cherish a love OF the beautiful In the
choice Of words?

Of the foremost authorities OH railroads in all their

GIVE MILITANTS A HEARING
So That We May Know Why They
Are Militants.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Those who are not committed TO
either side of the suffrage question hope
sincerely that Mrs. Pankhurst will be
allowed 10 come TO New York without
hndrance. and be given the opportunity
to explain what the conditions are In
England which warrant militancy and
why there is so much acrimony displayed
there In discussions OF the question pro

the women OF that country in an appar-
emily matter OF course way. Paris has
recently given municipal suffrage to its
women and other Continental municipall-
ties have done the Same thing. The
Norwegian women have had the vote for
some time. Nowhere has SO much oppo-
sition been encountered as In England.
Why is 1t?
At recent house party given by Lord
Derby at Knowsley Hall. during the visit
there of the King and Queen. Lady Mar
and Kellie. who is strong though nom
militant suffragette, got into such an ex-
ceedingly warm argument on the subject
with the Queen that she was advised
that she had better make her adieus as
quickly as possible.
One infers from this that she got the
| better OF the argument; at any rate. II
| doesn't seem quite fair. The Queen may
be as anti as she pleases, but she
stands by herself-she is exempted from
taxation-and she rules IL is said Eng

Lord Rosebery and the Queen. But those
best informed say the trinity should read

The Duchess Of Bedford is one OF many
