THE STATE AS MOTHER -IN-LAW
Muzzlcs for Mosquitoes and Other
Pertinent Problems.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The simple eXpedient of muz-
zling, vigorously applied to eats and
dogs alike will surely stamp out ra-
bies. but there are other diseases even
more important to suppress than the
comparatively rare hydrophobia.
Infinite comfort and content would
no doubt follow a muzzling order for
mosquitoes. and if flies were com
pclled bv tne omnipotent law 20 wash
their feet before walking on foodstufs
the public health would benefit enor-
mously.
If ever one could see cases Of hor-
rible disease people might be more
careful. but the fact is that the public
is more willing TO take the risk than
10 take the trouble, and while we op-
pose the teaching of sex hygiene in
schools and insist on the causes of
consumption in our midst Il is fatuous
20 worry oyermuch about few hun
dred cases Of rabies among several
million people.
Let citizens have access 20 lnforma-
tion on all subjects which concern
their welfare, and If they still do not
correct their practice IT Is a sure sign
that the majority, by whom we submit
20 being ruled, prefers things as they
are. We can get on with far less en-
forced authority.
Let us have our lives as We want
them: written laws on matters of TIL,
kind do as much harm a. good. even
when it is possible TO enforce them.

The issue between District Attorney Cropsey

that there are "hand-picked" judges unfit to hear

that Justice Scudder, having previously expressed
an opinion contrary to facts which showed him

The Tribune'S New Service
Leads the Newspaper World.

=
The Tribune to-day takes a big step for
ward in the interests of its readers II
guarantees them absolutely against loss OF
dissatisfaction through the purchase OF any
wares advertised in its columns If you
don't like what you buy you get your
money back promptly, either from the seller
or from The Tribune We believe in our
advertisements We mean TO print only
advertisements we can believe in. And we
stand ready to back with our own money
whatever we permit advertisers to say in
our columns.
We are not content merely with clean ad-
vertising columns, though ours are the
cleanest in the city They have been made
SO by the resolute barring from our pages
Of everything in any degree questionable
without regard to loss of advertising
revenue.
We want to do something bigger and bet
ter than anything any other daily paper
has ever dared to do We want to lead the
way into the brighter future when the puo-
lie will give full faith and credit to what
merchants say in the press about their
wares. So we give to our readers such
guarantee as no other daily newspaper has
ever given Nothing further in the way Of
assurance is possible. You don't have to
show a loss you merely have to be dissay-
ished in order to get your money back.
Out Of our armory Of defences goes -he
comfortable old doctrine Of caVeat enlot7r,
that favorite refuge of the newspaper whose
hands are full of not over-Clean advertising
revenue. CaVeat er1pt0r is the strict lette-
of the law, but we shall never retreat behind
it. In practice it means that the reader
takes care while the newspaper takes the
money. Under our system he does not
have to take care We will do the taking
care for him.
We look into the standing and charactec
of the advertiser. In case of doubt, we ex-
anime the goods offered. We use every pre-
caution man can use that trickery and deceit
and misrepresentation shall not enter into
the transaction. And it is sound economy
for us to do this work, instead of leavinS
it to be done by our more than $4,000 read
ers. We can do it better than they can
One investigation by us will replace $4,000
investigations by them. That is in the linz
of progress. The task of investigation IS
moreover, a public service Accordingly we
welcome it.
We welcome it all the more because we
believe our policy OF having single stand
ard of truth for news, editorial and adver-
tising columns is the only right policy. Our
motto-Fnst to Last the Truth: News,
Editorials, Advertisements-carre its I'm
mistakable message to the world. 1t does
not embody a new practice. We merely
extend and emphasize our old practice by
offering to back with money that portion
Of our paper for the printing of which we
receive money.
