An Anniversary OF Cowardicc.

Not a vote was cast in the House OF
Representatives yesterday against the
Gompers amendment to the Clayton
antitrust bill. practically legalizing all
restraints of trade which may be un-
dertaken by labor unions or farmers
associations.
Not statesman in the House had
the gizzard to stand up and be counted
against the shameless measure Of dis
elimination for the sake of politics.
Well, this Is not the first time Con-
gress has witnessed that unmanly sort
Of spectacle.
Just fourteen years ago to-day the
House of Representatives passed the
Hon. CHARLES l.. LITTLETIELD's bill in
the Flfty-sixth Congress for the Fed
eral regulation OF trusts. The subjoined
amendment exempting labor organiza-
lions was offered and went to vote
upon June ., 1900:
Nothing in this act shall be 80 con-
strued as to apply to trades unions or
other labor organizations organized for
the purpose OF regulating wages. hours OF
labor. or other conditions under which
labor is to be performed"
This sweeping exemption was not
even discussed. 1t was attached to Mr.
LIrTLEFIELD's bill by n vote Of 260 to s
Mr.. LIrTLEFIELD himself being one OF
the eight to vote against it. Then the
antitrust bill, carrying the outrageous
exemption and discrimination, passed
the House pa to l.
Fourteen years ago to-day! Cnanl
nous or nearly unanimous cowardice Il
nothing new under that noble dome.
Then it was just before the Congress
elections, and the House incurred 1T
shame in the comfortable knowledg'
that the Senate would prevent the con
summtio of the infamy.
This, too. is just before the Congress
elections, but how about the Senate o
The United States in the year 1914?

Ole Bleu OF Louisiana and Parts
Unknown.

The unparalleled sensation created
lately in City Hall Park by immigrant
"red birds" may remind amateur or
nithologists that this town is the host
and keeper Of really mysterious fowl.
Mr.. G. w. BEEBE tells us in the NeW
York Geological Society Bulletin that
for a year there has been a solitary
male Blue Goose at the New York Zoo
logical Park; that an azure anser-
Inc female was imported there not
long ago, and that another pair Is on
the way. The Blue Goose, deemed by
AUDUBON to be the young Of the Snow
Goose, sis almost as little known" as
In AUDUBoN's time. He knew II as
abundant about the Mississippi delta
and the bays and inlets OF the Gulf.
1t has appeared again and In numbers
In winter in southern Louisiana re-
Gently. Its foraging Is as thorough as
that OF an army with banners:
mot only do the birds feed upon the
green tops and tougher stems OF the pas
ture grasses but even dig up and devour
the roots. Each individual goose scoops
out n hole In the mud, uncovering and de-
vouring the roots as it works, and as the
geese feed quite close together. these
rounded pits soon touch and coalesce'
when the birds move on TO n new feeding
place. They keep more or less In long
lines as they feed, reminding one OF sol
der ants or the famous army worms
The continued effect OF this is to change
radically the condition OF the land. In
some cases the ground is so low that the
slight excavations MI at once with water
and thus pastures are altered to marshS
lands. Where great numbers of the birds
have occupied these places as roosts tbs
pressure of their feet has so reduced tbs
general level that actual lakes are pro
duced, In which henceforth only aquatic
plants can lind a roothold, In one locality
men with horses and guns were hired t.
keep on the move all day and try TO driv'
away the geese. but this was not success
full, and about 1000 acres of pasture land
had to be abandoned to the BIRDS
Though thus gregarlous and destruc
tive, the Blue Goose Is not on the roat
10 ruin, as might be supposed. He i
usually too shrewd to he bilked by trap
or put himself within gunshot range
and much OF his preferred feedin
grounds Is game preserves, so that hi
winter visits are pretty safe. The MAJ
vel. as yet unprecedented, is: Whlthe

Walt for the Verdict.

All considerations of the lamentable
catastrophe on the st. Lawrence River
call for the exercise Of the greatest pa
thence on the part OF the general public.
The exact facts in regard to the cir
cumstances which led to the collision
will not he known till they are brought
out by an official investigation. News
paper interviews. however candldly
given or skilfully obtained, will In the
end be found wanting In some vital de-
tails. The nature of the case makes
this inevitable. The actors in the stun
ming tragedy are not yet At to speak
clearly about It. Many important facts
must at this moment escape their
memories.
Later, when all have become calm
and the complete story Is elicited by
the questioning Of experts, 1t is prob
able that the Incidents will arrange
themselves in convincing order. At
the present time all statements point
toward the Incredible. 4 low fog

simply because she had the right Of
way" and without regard for the fact
that another ship was lying motlonless
and plainly announcing 1t by the Use
of recognized whistle signals, bring
before the mind n combination of cir
cumstances impossible to believe.
The captain OF the collier which
rammed the Empress of Ireland should
certainly have fair opportunity TO tell
his side of the story before he Is con-
demned. and also to answer certain
essential questions. The one declara'
ton that may properly be made n.
this time is that this case cannot he

that the injury to the building would
be nominal. The United States Dis
trict Attorney supports this contradlc-
ton, and he has also overthrow the
suggestion that by granting the ease
ment the United States might in some
way impair its title to the land on
which the Post Office stands. With re-
gard to this title. II must be borne In
mind that the days Of the Post Office
are numbered and that within few
years 1t will be RACED and the land on
which it stands restored to its proper
uses In City Hail Park.
We have described Secretary Nc
Apoo's attitude and conduct as obscure
and inexpllcable. No statement OF his
objections to the granting OF the ease
ment has been forthcoming from wash
ington that throws a satisfactory light
on the holdup. From official and
non.ofiicial statements 1t has been pos
slble to conclude that Secretary McADoo
intends to wiring from the city n great
sum of money or else tn compel n

1t may be sure Of public support.
Meanwhile the least that the citizens

the Inconvenience, losses and dangers
now imposed on them by inadequate

VICTIMS OF DRINK.
4 Justification OF Government suppress
sion Of Alcoholic Beverages.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sr. Psy-
biologists. Psychologists and medical ex-
perts in speaking Of the desire for alco-
holic liquors invariably refer to II as
morbid and artificial appetite, acquired
under the influence OF habit" Habit con
notes. TO a greater or less extent lack OF
freedom OF will something approaching
Involuntary or reflex action.
Now. however difficult II may be to de-
termine at what point your booze fighter"
takes his drink as q matter OF habit. yet
the fact remains that such point Is
reached In the career OF every drinker.
This admits of no doubt And while on
the one hand the habltual drunkard Is be-
coming comparatively rare. still. the ha-
bitual drinker In steadily increasing in
numbers.
The per capita consumption OF liquor.
according to United States census figures,
bears this out Doubtless the appetite
may be appeased short OF intoxication, but
Just how many drinks short of intoxi-
cation one may attain safety depends
again upon the individual habit.
The campaign OF alcohol against the vi
tality. strength and manhood Of the
drinker is so gradual. so slow and withal
so fearfully and horribly insidious that It
IL not noticed until the habit has fastened
itself upon him. His free Will has become a
thing OF the past he no longer debates the
question of drink or no drink" he sim
ply goes into the saloon and gets II he
Is no longer free agent where drink
Is concerned.
THE improperly OF regulating personal
habits too strictly" Is a stock argument
against prohibition. Were II not for
the fact that the Government has seen MT
to curb the traffic In opium, cocaine. NOR
phine, strychnlne. &C.. the Use OF these
drugs might easily become the personal
habit OF vast numbers OF people. Because
the effects are more direct more appar-
ent. more violent, is 1t more proper 70
regulate the drug habit?
Because the effects are less direct, les,
apparent. less violent. is II less proper 70
regulate the liquor habit? The same rea-
sons that outweigh the improperly OF
regulating personal habits with respect 70
the use OF drugs apply with equal force
when We consider the regulation of the
drink habit. For. even though alcohol
works more slowly. more gradually. more
insdiously yet, nevertheless. the results
are the same eventually as those produced
| by drugs. GEORGE GorT0EN ScHEEL.

AROYR TIE Law.
the Proposed Exemption and Immunity
Of the Labor Trust.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Str. Presi-
dent Wilson Is now reported as having
reached an agreement with the representa-
tives Of organised labor whereby sub
stantisl considerations are to be bestowed
upon thep by embodying In tho new
antitrust bill an amendment designed to
exempt theft interests from the operation
OF the law. Despite assertions to the
contrary on the part OF the Democratic
leaders, Samuel Gompers and his follow
ers appear to have procured the copsum-
nation Of all their original demands. for
they express themselves as perfectly salts
fed with the decision arrived at.
Furthermore. the ambiguity Of the pro-
posed amendment seems to lend additional
confirmation TO the suspicion that the
labor unions are thereby given more
powers than those which mere recogni-
ton Of their existence would convey. 1t
10 therefore to be deplored that the
President will after all. In effect, surren-
der to the invidious attempts of law
contemning class who seek immunity from
the workings Of q Congressional statute.
Is the United States Government to be
In league with dynamiters and other law
breakers, allowing them to escape from
the penalties imposed by the Sherman act,
combining itself to the batting Of business
and the pursuit OF commercial interests
Let Mr.. Wilson pause before acauiescing
In the enactment OF this amendment before
It Is too late, and when he will have re-
peated his error Of year ago. The Ad-
mInistraton leaders should think twice

Apparently the high cost Of living in
New York IL also purely psychological.
This Is really one Of the cheapest cities
in the country II you are only poor
enough. The standards OF living in
vogue In some circles naturally boom
expenditures. but those who are content
with the simple life can save cents
per unit by moving from any one of
fourteen Atlantic coast cities. Evil
IDENTIFY there should be a great rush
from these cities to New York and our
savings banks should grow fat with the
cent per unit savings. But appar-
emily the only hope Of reducing living
cost for actual New Workers. is to move
to Baltimore. Buffalo or Richmond
these being the only places where a
lower unit rate can be found. Per-
haps a few old. hardened New Workers
may prefer to stick to the old home
feeling that the lights Of Broadway are
cheap at any cost.
