AUTOMOBILE GUARANTEES
A Purchaser Says That Some Are
More or Less Ilusory.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the Advertisements and booklets
issued about automobiles. we read OF the
guarantee given with the machine. Some
times the guarantee is nicely engraved
and handed over like n certificate, so that
tho purchaser need not worry about
breaks from imperfecuons.
n one does not read tho guarantee care
fully he may imagine that he will be free
OF repair expense FOR a year and We get
the mistaken notion that we may rely
on the dealer or manufacturer 10 make
good any impcrfections. With some
manufacturers who keep parts near New
York this may be true. but with many
of those smaller manufacturers who only
keep small offices in the city II too often
proves a deiusion.
About June y I bought a six-cylnder
automobile from a firm on Broadway,
near 6sth street. Since that time | have
had twelve breaks mot tres. none Of
them due to any fault OF mine The
dealer refers me 20 the manufacturer in
Michigan the manufacturer writes that
he will put everything In order. but does
nothing. and l have To- keep paying for
repairs for defective workmanship.
Perhaps II ] were TO send my machine
out 20 Michigan the repairs might De
made But what about the expense Of
transportation? Now. why cannot auto
mobile manufacturers give a guarantee
that is guarantee, and II they have an
agency here TO sell their machines. why
not empower the agency to look after the
machines?
II they will not do this contend that
they either should not be allowed TO do
business I'm this city. or. If they cannot
be prevented in this way. intending pur-
chasers should keep away from all
agencies that are not empowered to look
after and help out customers. II. c. r.

Saving Lives by the Million.

Mr. John Burns. the president Of the British
Local Government Board, gave at the recent Inter
national Medical Congress impressive view of
the extent to which sanitary, prophylactic and
therapeutic science is to-day saving human life. He
cited the average number of deaths in the years
1871 to 1880 and that in the years 1909'11 and
then showed that in those three years there would
have been 1881 more deaths than there were had
the death rate of that former decennium prevailed
In other words, 772,S11 lives were saved in those
three years by the progress which had been made
in thirty years. In the whole thirty years there
had been saved $4,000 lives of persons at all ages
for the reduction in death rate has been pretty
evenly distributed among the Seven Ages
Now that is one Of the most creditable showings
that it would be possible to make in the practical
benefcence of government 1t is really divine
achievement to give men life and to give il TO them
more abundantly. II is certain that it immeasurably
more than repays for its pecuniary cost Indeed
we may safe" reckon that the achievement has been
considerably greater than these figures Indicate.

tion of the fact that the increased pace of social
and business life is putting an increased strain
upon human vitality There has then been de-

Narrowing Waldo.

The Tribune recently advised Mayor Kline to
make an exception to his rule Of not removing hold
over heads Of departments by dispensing with the
services of Commissioner Waldo. The aldermailic
committee appointed TO investigate the Police De
partment found that Mr.. Waldo was inefficient and
recommended his removal The public generally
distinctly disapproves the attitude he has taken in
trying to make the prosecution of police grafterS
as difficult as possible.
If, however the Mayor fears that he will be
charged with partisanshp for dismissing any OF
Mayor Gaynors commissioners, will seriously
complain if he merely Waldo instead o..
Diminishing him.
The Mayor has conferred with District Attorney
Whitman about the police situation, and IT is under
stood that Mr.. Whitman will be freely consulted
from now on. Since he is the enemy" whose plans
for pursuing grafters the last administration was
so anxious to Illustrate, his association with the
new Mayor will probably he sufficient TO a
searching Of hearts aud a sudden change Of senti-
ment about Police Headquarters. If the police
know that the District Attorneys eye is on them,
what Waldo says or does in office hours may be
passed over as negligible. It will not matter that
ne retains the empty title Of Commissioner If Mr..
Whitman is allowed to inspire the policy of

The Anti Tammany Revolt.

The reputation Of Murphy's satellites in Buffalo,
Rochester and Syracuse and in many other upstate
cities and counties is humilating reminder TO
sluggish New York. Why should the Democrats
here, who know Murphy best and have long seen
Tammany at its worst, lag behind the upstate De
mocracy in turning the rascals out? The rest Of
the state has suffered only from Murphy's brief
domination at Albany, but here respectable Demo-
Gratis have been held for years under the CALLING
Tammany yoke
In the Democratic primary in Buffalo the vote
was two to one against Murphy's underngs: But
in the primary here no protest whatever was regis
tered against the continuance Of Tammany's pri-
watering under letters granted in the name of the
Democratic party Mr. Wilson received 3123S6 votes
in this city last fall and most of these voters were
qualified to participate in Tuesdays preliminary
election. 1t is beyond reason that they should have
chosen to express by their inacon an acquiescence
in the prOpretorship of the party brazeny as
serted by Murphy and his Council of Eight
We are inclined TO believe that the mass of self
respecting Democrats hereabouts will do to Tam
many in the election what the upstate Democrats
did to it in the primary. All the signs point to
tremendous antiAIurphy upheaval this fall The

Sir: II your correspondent John j.

cause OF his enforcement of the ordi-
nances against street distractions" would
inquire into the facts he would find that
the ordinances specifically permit the
stoops and areas against which Mr.. Nc

New York City without first filing plans,
every detail of which must conform to
laws and ordinances before a permit IL

these laws and ordinances since Mr.. Nc

illegally adopted an ordinance or order OF
his own permitting them TO lesser de-

Mr.. McAneny's course has been wholly

have voted to rescind the ordinances in so

A NEGRO TRIBUTE

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Allow me, on behalf of the colored
citizens OF this city, 10 express our deep
regret az the tragic death of the Hon.
William j. Gaynor on board the Baltic
out at sea Mayor Gaynor never failed
10 give the colored citizens due recognl-
ton by giving them representation on
ann public reception committee arranging
for the entertainment OF any distin-
gulshed guest. His interest in the well
fare of the Colored citizens was very
pronounced. and on more than one oc-
caslon he has interviewed on behalf OF the
colored people Of this city. He was much
in sympathy with the work of the Col
ored orphan School at Charleston, 5. c.,
and had consented TO speak at a recent
meeting of the institution In this city,
when failing health prevented his ap-
pearance. For this interest in our well
fare the colored citizens feel grateful and
share In the grief which his death has
caused.
There is no body OF people in this city
who feel more keenly the loss of this
great and good man more than my race.
Mayor Gaynor was truly a great man.
and this city and country are the richer
and better for the noble heritage and in
spiration he has bequeathed TO the youths
of all lands.

No Cause for Alarm.

Such an announcement might have caused the Hon.

the cashier accepts legal tender Of all sizes ana

The Inconspicuous Sex and Mayor Kline
Green Hat.

Among animals it is the male who struts around
in fine fur and feathers and the female who works
hard and wears business clothes. Just why human
beings have shifted this arrangement clear around
the suffragettes have yet to decide. M any rate
there are the immutable facts; and when our new
Mayor arrives in the City Hall wearing thoroughly
green hat of the Tyrolean brand excitement natu-
rally knows no bounds.
Yet why may not Mayor Kline be the harbinger
of new era in mems costuming? one green hat
does not make a fashion. One example. when the
times are ripe, may count for much. Women are

The Senate Can Improve the Currency

Before passing the administration currency bill
yesterday the House of Representatives reapproved
the eleventh-hour amendment. adopted on Wednes-
day, reafirmng the single gold standard. That
amendment, desirable in view Of unfortunate Ian
guage which had slipped into the bill, is general in
scope and does not actually correct the phrase ere
deemable in gold or lawful money" which remains
in the provision relating TO the redemption of fed
eral reserve notes.
AS has been too often the case, the House has
passed along TO the Senate an imperfect measure,
practically asking the upper branch to do work
which It has not itself had the courage industry
to do. There Is need, therefore of a careful Senate
revision in which the crudies that the best bank
ing and business sentiment Of the country has
pointed out will be eliminated The House bill is
first step, and important one, toward the mod
ernization of currency system. It is all the
more desirable, therefore that the reforms which 1t
will introduce shall not be hampered by faulty de-
tails in plan which will make it difficult for the
state and national banks to cooperate with the
government.
The large affirmative vote in the House-2S6 to
S4-shows that the country approves the general
drift of the administration bill But the Senate
should take its time overhauling the House draft
and uniting the opinion Of the country still more
firmly behind the measure.
