Mayor Mitchel's Plan Gives Square

Civil Service Commission.
With the public hearing and the privilege of pre-

of merit which he has under present conditlohS

poses the honest policeman would gain advantages

Killing a Word with Kindness.

No one can blame Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robertson
Hale for firing of the word feminist" That mouth

that much Of the zest has departed. lt is not yet

Turkey and the Isles of Greece.

Greece acts prudently and benevoently in accept
ing the powers partioning Of the Egean Islands.
Doubtless she would like to take them all. Doubt
less they pertain to her historic and sentimental
grounds But doubtless, too some Of them pertain
geographically to Turkey
Crete and the Cyclades naturally European
and part of Greece. The Sporades and the central
Egean Islands are surely part of Asia Minor
and in securing of these Greece has really
nexed a portion of Asia. But as for lmbros and
TenedoS it should have been recognized at the out
set that they must continue in the possession Of
whatever power owns Constantinople. For they
lie almost within gunshot of the entrance TO the
Dardanelles on each side, completely dominat-
ing the passage.
In time no doubt there will be further decline
Of Ottoman power and then there may be oppor-
tunity for Greece to regain still more, though

Getting Wiser and More Patriotic.

The Democratic party has learned good deal
since it came into power As opposition it made
ducks and brakes Of its anti-subsidy record by
voting TO exempt American coastwise shipping
from Panama Canal tolls It also tried hard TO put
q stop TO naval construction. caucus of Demo
cratic members Of the House Of Representatives
voted last year against authorizing the building of
any new battleships, aud it only with the
greatest difficulty that that edct was finally re-
ecinded and the House allowed to concur in
the Senate's provision for single Dreadnought
This year. with a Democratic administration in
power, nobody has thought of making the increase
bf the navy a caucus question, and naval appro-
priation bill has been reported 10 the House which
calls for the construction Of two new Dreadnoughts
Secretary Daniels wanted two built and told the
House Committee on Naval Affairs that the coun-
trys naval policy ought to be divorced from party
politics.
old tradition OF non-partisan consideration Of the
needs Of national defence Since the construction Of
the new navy was begun, in the early SOS, that
tradition has been faithfully observed except for
the last two years of the Taft administration, when
the Democrats reganed control Of the lower branch
OF Congress. The House leaders are now more or
less ashamed OF their relapse There will be no
hesitation this year about voting the two bat'
fleships required TO maintain this countrys present

Making Two Jobs Grow Where One Grew.

State Treasurer Call has tried to prove that he
was not elected through Progressive-Tammany
deal by Diminishing his Democratic assistant, whose
retention was said TO be the price of TaInmany s
support for the Progressive, and appointing Pro-
gressive assistant All he proves by this action IS
his own good faith In declaring that he was no
party TO any such deal and had made no pledges.
Yet the Progressves are TO be congratulated
They have made two jobs grow where only one
grew before-for them Such is the duty of any
well fed political organization. The Bull Moose
are proving that they're regular in every politi-
cal sense of the word. As for Tammany-well
Tammany should be used to being stung these days

Europe's Reaction Against the Liquor
Traffic
Traffic.

Many European countries where the consumption
OF liquor IS excessive beginning TO consider
much stricter regulation Of the liquor traffic. France
IS more afflicted by the modern commercial promo
tion Of intemperance than any other nation. There
IS now drinking place in France for every eighty
Inhabitants and more alcoholic beverages are CON
snmed per capita by Frenchmen than by any other
nationality. The aim Of the French reformers is to
cut down the proportion Of drinking places 10 one
for every two hundred inhabitants
In Berlin the old fashion Of drinking leisurey at
tables is being supplanted by the American or
English style Of drinking the bar. Resorts are
open practically all night, and many Of them are
becoming centres Of disorder and crime. The Ger
man Parliament has before It II bill requiring
municipalities 10 refuse licenses in all cases I'm
which the need for their issuance Is not clearly
established, and 10 oil persons who cannot clearly
demonstrate their Tespectabillty.

OUR PAMPERED SERVANTS
Sympathy for the Houseworker Is
Called Misplaced.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Another country housekeeper oil
twenty years experience would like to
indorse the sentiments of Emily D. More
wood. and also those OF IAN old and
good housekeeper who has kept her ser
wants many years in contentment' 1t Is
astonishing to see the misplaced sympa-
thy that is expended on the working girl
and the patient way in which wealthy
ana well meaning women continue TO en-
courage these girls TO try TO work IN
already overcrowded trades when there
is always a demand fer domestic workers.
1t is nonsense TO talk of the hard labor
and the long hours in the house.
When the hours are long it is because
the worker herself drags them out by
the careless way in which she does her
work, not because there is any necessity
for their being long. At the same time
she is exceedingly well paid and has the
protection OF home. II the charitably
inclined wish to really help the girls out
of work they could doubtless find work
for them in country homes by applying
10 the churches in various towns and vii
lagos. No doubt one reason why the So
cial workers disregard homework as
remedy for unemployment is because they
have never been housekeepers themselves
and have no practical knowledge Of the
subject.
AS for the plea that homework pre-
vents the worker having a chance 10
marry, the writer can only mention the
fact that in the twenty years she has
been keeping house eight of her maids
have left her in order TO marry. All OF
these had been with her from one rs four
years, and all were competent and nice
girls. COUNTRY HOUSEKEEPER.
