The ECO in Reform.

Tho conviction OF the Rev. Bouck White for dis
orderly conduct in invading Calvary Baptist Church
is entirely in accord with the facts, the law ana
essential decency and justice. No right OF Tree
dom of speech is outraged or violated. The rights
which were violated were those of the congresa-
ton Of that church, and they were violated 10y
White He, clergyman, knowing the law against
disturbance Of religious services, went there with
what should have been certainty in mind that MS
actions would precptate a disturbance, If not the
riot which actually resulted. When he first tired
TO speak he was warned to desist. There was no
question of his being unable in other ways to rid
his system Of whatever protest was lodged in 1t
he could have gone to a dozen places and talked
his head off without let or hindrance, ana the
newspapers would have carried his words to thou
sands who were not present to hear him. That
would not do for him.
81 wanted to speak the truth TO those people
he told one of the policemen who arrested him.
land that was the way chose TO do it
That IS this reformer insisted on reforming these
other people at his own time, in his own way. 1t
is the trouble with the proseytZers who are alter
nately amusing and Irritating the city-the Sin
clairs, Edelsons, Berkmans Games and their ilk-
that, like Mr.. Kpling's Bimi, they have too much
ego in their cosmos. They have a zeal for reform
of their particular brand-which IS first cousin to
megalomania. If they have not that they have an
itch for notoriety which becomes contemplate when
they hitch themselves to some matter of genuine
seriousness and moment and divert public attention
to their own antics. Ordinarily the innate sense
and humcr of the town can be trusted to put an
end TO this The danger in the present situation Is
that their antics lead TO lawbreaking, such as
Whites and the authorities who have to enforce
the law cannot as Mayor Mitchell says, use Kid
glove methods Thereupon the proseytzers become
martyrs also, sustained by Ill founded and mis-
guided sympathy.
There Is no lack Of free speech in this commu-
nifty Anybody air his views on anything
almost anywhere But It is high time to halt these
ire-and-sword reformers whose regard Is entirely
for their own freedom and not at all for the rights
and privileges Of others A few more convictions
like Marie CAMS and the Rev. Mr.. Whites should
do II.

The Calmette Crusade a Failure.

Returns from the supplementary elections for
members Of the French Chamber Of Deputies show
that the coalition on which the Doumergue govern
ment rests has not been shaken. The salient feature
Of last Sundays rebaloting was the gain or
twenty seats by the Unified Socialists, the total
gain of that faction In the elections Of 1914 rising
10 thirty-eight That increase In the forces or the
extreme Left more than balances the losses of the
Radical groups in the former ministerial combina-
ton In fact the groups OF the extreme Left under
the leadership OF Jaures and Caillaux are stronger
now than they were in the last Chamber, since they
enjoy the moral advantage of having repused the
formidable attack OF the moderates under BRAND,
Barthou and Mierand, aided and abetted by the
reactionaries who financed CASTOR Calmette's de-
nunciatory campaign against Caillaux.
The most significant thing In the election was
tho collapse of the campaign made by the former
editor OF lie Figaro" The French public did not
take Calmette and his charges seriously nor was
Il moved by the melodramatic killing Of Camette
by Nine Caillaux. It felt that the newly formed
Union Of the Left under the leadership Of BRAND,
Bartbou and NIillerand was In reality manpuvre
In the interest of reaction and 1t refused to ntrust
power to Republican politicians on too friendly
terms with the Clerical and anti-Republican fac
tons
The French electorate has preferred to maintain
the status quo II turned a deaf ear to the callm-
MES of Calmette and the reactionary arguments OF
the press Of the Partisan bouevards.

THOU SHALT NOT SUCCEED
An Interpretation of Christian Social.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Church OF the Social Revolution
is a significant phrase. noteworthy be-
cause it is the first admission that earnest
destructive activity directed at one part
OF our beautiful civilization is church"
with all the fury, enthusiasm, cruelty and
intolerance that characterizes other
churches.
Thou shalt not" is the root OF most
creeds. In this case one Is tempted to
think thou shalt not be a success is
tho completed prohibition. Tho Rookie
Teller fortune represents the results OF
succeeding in doing what every trades
man in the country is trying to do, and
every man who buys a commodity the
price of which is determined by COM
petition is creating and supporting II.
He has forfeited his right to crticise Mr..
Rockefeller.
The unfair trick OF going back to
Christs inaccurately reported words for
complete application in every modern
event is another sign OF weakness. 1t is
done 10 arouse the feelings OF true be-
levers through their emotional natures.
and when done by men who have no sort
OF belief themselves In the teachings OF
Christ It is deliberate attempt to win
on false pretences.
Mr.. White may argue about the I'm
morality OF being rich, though 7 believe
Christ usually refers to its inexpediency
rather than its being an evil I'm itself.
Let him consider that Jesus also said,
Love one another" and gave such gen.
eral advice to aeitators as Forgive your
enemies" "Do good TO them that hate
you" Turn the other cheek" and so forth,
not making any special exemptions for
capitalists that have come down to us.
Blessed are they that mourn--but some
people mourn so easily, There is plenty
10 mourn about opposite any house.
Any system will do, any religion might
do, but let US all mourn on our own door
steps about the frothing desires OF our
own hearts. Let Bouck White justify
the immortality OF being poor, when a
handful OF agitators by applying their
constructive ability TO the making of half
a dozen fortunes like Rockefeller's and
then using them with the discretion they
show in every move OF their tactics might
make this world a little heaven here
below
or perhaps-not.

IN DEFENCE OF UNIONS
What They Strive to Do for Labor, in
Members View.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is evident from the letter OF Mr..
John Robertson, dated April 30. 1914. that
he does not really know much about labor
unions. Mr.. Robertson states that the
labor unions rule this country. This
statement is untrue, because II the labor
unions ruled this country there would be
a national eight-hour day for all workers
and equal pay for workers in each Indus
try, so that all employers and msnufact-
urers I'm each respective industry would
be placed on an equal competitive base,
irrespective OF in what section OF the
country his plant may be. The abolition
OF child labor recognition OF the unions
and the settlement of labor disputes by
federal mediation and arbitration board
would also be laws.
He states that an honest mechanic is
forced to join the union, whether he
wants 10 or not. Now Mr. Robertson
knows that he is no more forced 10 Join
the union than he Is forced TO live; but
II mechanic insists or is determined 10
work In a shop where conditions were
made by the union men the union men
have the right to insist on his joining the
union.
TX the statement made BY Mr.. Robert
son relative TO his being 'wayla!d and
orutaIiy beaten be true, l want TO say
That hope Mr. Robertson is not mem
Der Of labor union AZ present. because
men who have 10 be beaten into an or
sanization are Of 10 benefit to that or
ganization, and the organization would be
better Off without him.
For Mr.. Robertsons benefit aud for the
benefit or the public l would state that
the members OF labor union do vote as
TO whether or not they go on strike. In
many unions the vote Is by ballot and
every member has the opportunity of ex-
pressing his own choice. II takes two
thirds or three-quarters OF the members
10 carry a strike vote
In conclusion, | would like 10 state for
the benefit OF those who may not know
That the labor union is on organization
for improving the sanitary conditions UNI

days may be long upon this earth: for
