Sir: As this day has been set apart

work for peace after praying?
II see two or more children fight
lLg and killing one another il is my
duty TO separate them, instead of fur

and standing idly by and commenting
on the battle and praying for peace,
This is the position this nation is in at
the present time. 1t has stood idly by
and watched the little Mexicans chew
up each other and has even furnished
them with arms in order that they
might fight II out. This is sin and
is wrong in principle.
II is our duty to put down rebellion
and take all arms away from all war

we cannot do it alone we should ally
ourselves with other stronger nations
for this purpose only. We should act

A Test for the Governor as Party
Leader.

When Governor Glynn addressing the Demo
cratic state Committee Yesterday, proclaimed
himself the party leader and promised TO make
his leadership Of ideas and ideals he was ur'
doubtcdy i'm moment Of e4altaton. 1t seemed
easy TO lead Democracy into a higher ana better
life. TO make it the faithful and unsesh servant
Of the common good. Several months ago the
Governor had his first experience as the apostle
of the uplift when Murphy became converted to
the uplift-"if uplift's the word But since then
the Governor has appeared TO he just plain or
ganization Democrat, counselling with Murphy.
McCooey. McCabe Fitzpatrick and the others in
the little clique which runs the Democratic ma
chine and grabs the good things for itself and its
heelers Therefore, the Governors exatation
doesn't make quite the impression which il might
make if these criods of backsliding weren't 80
frequent.
There is a simple unfailing way in which he
Governor can demonstrate his party leadership
and his desire TO lead the party toward higher
goal" lie said yesterday that he would recognize
character and qualifications paramount in ap-
pointing men TO office. Two of the most important
undertakings Of the Democratic party have been
the organization of the Workmcn's Compensation
Commission and the reorganization Of the State
Department Of Iabor-both of vast moment 10
hundreds Of thousands Of workers
Holding places in these departments exempt
from civil service and getting fat salaries are men
obviously not qualified by past performance or
present knowledge. Among the special inves
tgatorS' i'll the Labor Department are an ex-
saloon keeper. an ex-janitor an ex-court inter
prefer and several ex-wakng delegates of labor
unions. Among the deputies in the Workmen 5
Compensation Commission are couple of profes-
sional Democratic jobholderS an ex-raroad train
man, an ex-cerk, an ex-labor union lobbyist. The
Governor would not hire in his business men
so i'll qualified for their daily work. lie can serve
the state, and so serve the party whose leader he
proclams himself, by seeing that these men get
out and that better men are put into their places

a Figaro Just arrived makes this specific suc-
sestion. in the language Of Andre Maurel. dis

We should officially notify the German government
that each act of vandalism like those committed at
Louvau, at Malnes and at Rheims will be paid for

WAR AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
Great Changes VIII Follow in the
Wake of Peace, 1t Is Predicted

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Perhaps Clinton A. Tracy has
painted his picture Of London slum life
in too vivid colorS. His letter to The
Tribune, however, serves two purposes.
BY reminding us that England is forced
TO support vast army OF natIye-born
people who have been broken on the
wheel OF cruel Industrial conditions, 1t
tends to correct the impression current
in this country that IT Is only foreign
trs who have cmIgrated from the more
backward European countries who sue
cumb IN the struggle for existence.
Mr.. Tracy's letter also furnishes
anv,n,. example Of attempts at nation
al Justification and It's antitheSis, yIliii-
cation Of others. which are unique in
the annals of history. n no other war
has there been such a mad scramble
by the nations involved TO show to the
world their brighter sides. Winston
Churchill in stating the case for Eng
land lays great emphasis upon her
social reforms accomplished OF con-
templated. Russia puts on its sun
day-go-to meeting clothes by promls-
ing political and rel igious freedom to
the Poles and Jews. Germany, not to
be outdone. marshals squad Of pro-
fessors TO make plea for German
culture.
IL may be claimed that such actiyi-
ties but illustrate human nature work
ing OF large scale. IL cannot be- gain
said that they are highly significant.
The wax having stripped the glamour
