ing at the Woman's Club next Tues

ways and means for abating the nui-
sance and TO plan campaign through

ton on the petition, the question will
be made an issue at the next cleo
ton. with the clubwomen arrayed

nuisance. None of the club leaders.
however. would affirm this report,
I'VE think it probable that the
Council Will see its way to do some
thing about the smoke nuisance" SAID
one of them Thursday. There is no
question that the clouds of smoke
that hang over Atlanta are a disgrace
to the city and should be abated. and
it seems to be within the power nf
tn City Council TO remedy condi-
tons.
I'VE shall ask in our petition that
the twelve minutes during which
smoke is allowed to belch from The
chimneys OF factories be reduced to
six. OF course, Il Council ignores our
petition, the fight v be on, and we
must adopt other means to relieve
Atlanta of the disgrace Of being :he
smokiest city in the South"
Federation Yields Power.
The City Federation of Women's
Clubs is one of the most powerful or
CARNATIONS in the city, and its en-
listment in the fight has given new
for several years to induce Council
to pass smoke ordinance" that
would relieve conditions. Between IS
and 100 organizations OF women are
affiliated with the City Fedora ton,
with more than 1000 members, COM
prising some of the most influential
and most progressive women of the
city.

JUGGLING Laws for Party Credit.

Rentroduction Of the workmen's compensation
Jaw which Governor Gynn forced through the
Legislature, whip and spur, almost as the New
Years bells ringing, shows the futility OF
such performance-or the futility of the Demo
cratic politicians who sought glory in such way.
The law was on the statute books before the consti
tutonal amendment permitting enactment. of II
compulsory law had taken effect. Consttutionality
of the law has not yet been tested, but the Gov
ernor and the Democratic Senate seem afraid to
risk test and want to do over again what
they did so poorly in such haste.
The only reason for that haste, which The Tribune
an advocate of a good law deplored and sought
to prevent. to grab brief credit for the
Democratic Legislature, then ending its existence.
before Republican Assembly could come into
being with the new year. The bill under consdera-
ton happened to be pretty good, but all cOnsdera-
tons of lettering it went down before this glory
grabbing. 1t pretty small potatoes and the
confession Of those who perpetrated the foolish
scheme makes them look pretty small too.

Best, Souarcst, Bravest, Etc, Etc.

In the exchange Of pleasantres at the Na'oh
Democratic Club ON Monday night the Hon. ION
Smith secretary of Tammany Hall. got this out OF
his system: "ln 1898. when this organization was
diving il was revived by the interest of Richard
Croker the best and squarest political Ieauer we
ever had I'm the state of New York. SHADES oi
Horatio Seymour Samuel J. Tilden, Grover Cleve-
land and Honest John" Kelly please take notice !.
If they do they will certainly wonder with the rest
of us at Secretary Smiths excessive moderation
Why not have thrown in few more appropriate
superlativesP Croker was the only Democratic
lea der in this state who admitted on the Wit
ness stand that in politics he was working for his
own nocket all the time" Even Bill Tweed when
he leeringly remarked "What are YOU going to do
about it, did not get far in brazenness as that.
Croker was not only 'the best and the squarest
but also the brusquest and the bravest He was, In
addition the canniest and the wariest since when
he had laid by enough he took IT with him three
thousand miles away to Ireland. where invesisa-
tors could never rummage through his bankbooks
and safe deposit boxes. He was mightiest In pre-
vision and In the development Of that sixth sense
In a boss which tells him when and where II Is best
TO get down to solid enjoyment OF the usufruct.
Mr. Smiths two stingy superlatives didn't do the
subject of his eulogy justice.

Arms for Bot tn Sides in Mexico

Congress IN 1912 passed resolution authorizing
the President to suspend the expectation of and
munitions of into any American country In
which conditions of domestic violence existed. En-
tire discretion left with the Executive when to
impose and when to lift such embargo President
Taft suspended the expectation Of arms and NUM-
tons into Mexico on March IA, 1912, and President
Wilson has now decided to recall that order The
question is one Of expediency only and the Presi-
dent is probably right in holding that the embargo
operated so as to discriminate in measure against
the CONSTITUTIONAL movement.
Hitherto the Huertistas have got arms from
Japan and perhaps elsewhere while the "Constitu-
tonalists" have been able to get save through
smuggers or as they captured them in battle. With
the embargo removed the two factions will be on a
more equal footing. There will probably be an In
crease of fighting for time, but that can be en-
dured If 1t proves decisive Under the circumstances
quick action in Mexico will be mercifu

Cold Mutton Love.

1t is an unfortunate beginning for a grand pas

A STATUE TO MORGAN
His Services to the City and Country
Should be Commemorated.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The magnificent benefactions of the
late J. Pierpont Morgan for the promo
ton Of art, literature. education, religion
and human happiness won for him the
esteem OF every right minded citizen of
the City Of New York, and his financial
aid in maintaining its credit at a critical
period in its history entities him to our
grateful remembrance. In view Of his
career as one of the most valuable citi-
zens of the metropolis, it seems to me
that fitting recognition of his services
would be the erection of a bronze or
granite life size statue TO his memory in
Central Park, near the Metropolitan Mu-
scum OF Art, and 1t would be most appro-
pirate If the Chamber of Commerce
would undertake this work.
