THE USE OF ~. S."
A Reader Considers 1t Disrespectful
Mode Of Address.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II we wish to teach patriotism and
greater respect for our great nation every
chapter, every state regent-in fact. every
nember-of that great organization. the
Daughters Of the American Revolution,
ought to use their influence with the
writer's and the report
ers-to discontinue the practice OF refer
ring to our country as the u. S. Here are
a few quotations from very recent papers;
1.-THE L. S. airship fired on by the Mexi-
cans"
How the L. S. is considered in the
matter" -.
"The II. 6. may run its own pipe line.
You cannot pick up paper without see
ing this disrespectful way OF alluding to
our country. What would Great Britain
think OF calling their country q. b. or
think of calling their country o. b., OF 'he
German Empire the G.. F.. or the freho"
nation the r.? You never see IL 'hey
wouldn't stand for il a minute. Neither
should we stand for It 10 have our great
glorious country referred to as the u D.
Surely we are not in such rush or 50
hurried for time that we need 10 aoDre
v,ate 70 this extent. Let US not only teach
foreigners and school children PATRIOTISM,
I'm. LET us all be patriotic ourselves anu

The Office Pursuing the Man.

All proverbs about the officehoder's death clutch
on office are suspended in the case of the Hon.
Richard Bartholdt. He has represented the 10Th
Congress District Of Missouri for nearly twenty-five
years. and now wants TO decline reelection. lie
announced last winter that he would not be can
didate this year but his admirers are after MN
and he has been forced to open headquarters II 81
Louis for the sole purpose of disSuading his con-
stituents from thrustng him again into office
The district which Mr.. Bartholdt represents is
unique. It had population in 1910 of 4lG3S9,
which is about 5000 short Of twice the ratio Of rep
resentaton fixed by Congress. 1t is the most gerry
wandered district in the United States. next door
nelghbor, Speaker Champ Clark, has a constituency
numbering only 19O,6sS. Mr.. BarthOldt's puralities
have also usually been larger than the total vote Of
most Of his colleagues a nomination for him has
been as good as an election Yet with all these in
ducements to hold on to office he thrusts aside its
allurementS.
If he now eludes the call of his clamorOus con-
stituentS he will have put new crmp in Jefferson

MAGISTRATE McAdoo urges new DEPART

ordinances, the tenement house. enid
labor and fire prevention cases such

SATURDAY CLOSING
The Considerable Action of Certain
Stores Receives Warm Praise.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l read the letter In your paper BY
Mrs. Frederick Nathan with interest ard
appreciation, and was delighted to hear
of the large number Of retail establish
ments that have decided to close on Sat
urdays during the summer.
The suggestion that patrons should send
all mail orders before the end of the
week is a very good one. The Consum-
ers League is certainly composed of JUST
and intelligent citizens. and the store en-
ployes should be deeply grateful for the
efforts this organization has made in their
behalf.
1 would also suggest that the league
might use it's influence to induce the
public to make all purchases at times
other than nights and holidays, and thus
permit the stores to close at those times.

MILLlONAIRES AND THE CHURCHES
Their Giving Is in a Good Cause and
Should Be Encouraged.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: This Is the land Of freedom and
every man is entitled to his own opin-
ion. and il George p, Wilson is con-
WINGED that Bouck White strongly re-
sembles the Saviour OF Mankind II Is
probable that no amount OF argument
could alter that conviction, He thinks
this resemblance is proved by the fact
that Christ was regarded as "a fanatl-
cal person by many Of His contempo-
raries. and Bouck White Is so regarded
bv some people of the present day. One
might as reasonably say that because
Jesus lived on earth as man, with
the physical needs that the human body
ia subject to, Bouck White is exactly
like Him because he. too. Is subject to
hunger. thirst and fatigue.
Mr. Wilson seems TO be convinced
that the membership OF Christian
churches entirely consists Of malefac-
tors OF great wealth. who have no re-
deeming points about them. and there
fore IL seems to him that Bouck White
Is not SO much on trial as the churches
themselves" Before man. or large
body of men, can be tried they must be
accused OF a definite crime. What is
the crime of the churches? Is 1t that
there are sinners among their congre-
cations? Jesus said: They that are
whole have no need OF a physician. but
they that are sick. But go ye and
learn what this meaneth. desire
mercy and not sacrifice; for I came not
TO call the righteous. but sinners" 1t
would seem that the sinners have greater
need OF the Church than the righteous.

CHRISTIANITY IS DEMOCRACY
Ju.tie. to All, Not Charity, Must Be
Its Goal.
=, thu Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I was very much interested In
reading the letter by Eleanor II. sefton
in your paper OF May ?s l consider II an
excellent explanation Of the Bouck Whi@
incident from the viewpoint OF ehurch
member, but not from Chris,iah view
point -,
To say that "the very foundation OF
,ror,can liberty ia the citizens right to
,,.orshin God in his own way" is the state
n,.nt Of one who believes that worship
and church membership are an end In
,hepselves instead Of a means to the end
that Righteousness and justice may pre-
vail. Before condemning Bouck White so
hastily it might be well to consider the
underlying reasons that prompted him to
enter the sacred portals OF Calvary Bap-
tist Church.
Bouck White is a man OF strong convie-

planning.

Mr. William r. Wilcox, formerly chairman of the
Public Service Commission, gives important new
turn TO the controversy produced by Secretary Nc
Adoos remarkable demands for compensation for
a subway easement under the postofiice. This
would be a great benefit to the federal government,
SAWS Mr. Wilcox, since It would give direct sub
way connection with the postofice and greatly
facilitate mail distribution. 1t would also be a
benefit TO the travelling public of this city. The
q Vantage to the federal government was so well
recognized when the enabling act for the granting
~, Pho easement passed Congress in 1912 that no.
body raised objections foresaw any.
MFR. McAdoos own subway is used for mail trans
variation between Jersey City and this city. Thus

THIS Is ABOUT CONDUCTOR No. 1854

Sir: Some day perhaps. there will be Challenge
Cup for Courteous Car Conductors. In advance of
that day and for any rewards the present may af-
ford | should like 10 nominate Conductor No. 1854
of the Eighth street crosS-tOwn line. However
crowded his car may be. and you've said some
thing" when you've mentioned crowds on that line
he attends to his conducting with and
courteous efficiency well worth the price of admis
sion. He has quite air about him, tOo-a little
nod of thanks for the fare just as if the were
his own and the passengers his patrons. And you
should him swing up the aisle when there's
room enough There's quite an air to that, too
Why not give him the reward of line in the
cOlyum? GEORGE.

LOOKING TO 1916
A Taft Supporter Refuses to Disregard
the Colonel.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of to-day | note Mr..
Nelson's letter regarding the possible re-
nomination OF Theodore Roosevelt for
President of the United States In 1915.
Though having myself followed President
Taft In 1919. cannot agree with Mr.. Mel
son that the elimination Of Mr.. Roosevelt
is a necessary consequence Of the last
campaign, or that the considerations then
uppermost remain in force at the present
time.
The years of Mr.. Roosevelts admins
tration were a continuous record OF ma
tional progress. The Panama Canal.
Philippine government, treaty of Ports
mouth, reorganzed army. irrigation and
forestry services are among the varied
achievements of Republlcanism during
the Roosevelt terms. under the leadership
of the President and the trained execu-
tive staff in whose selection he was so
successful The comparative inefficiency
of the succeeding administration was the
legitimate excuse for the birth of the
Progressive party. The fact that the Pro-
eressive revolt savored strongly of seces-
sion was sufficient to hold to the standard
of Repubicanism those who regard their
party utilization seriously.
The contest of 1912 is now over, leaving
two parties where there should be one.
both free to support whomsoever they
please for the next campaign. and with
the fact staring them In the face that
maiori.' divided against itself is at the
mercy Of the minority. Without intending
the slightest implication against the
motives OF the Democrats, the writer be-
lieves that the Mexican policy has been
national disgrace: that the tariff bill and
the proposed Industrial legislation are i'll
advised, and that the present financial
depression is only the first result of poll
cles fundamentally wrong.
1t is the national duty OF Republicans
and Progressives alike in 1916 to nominate
a ticket which will win. II the parties
cannot be reunited, the joint nomination
OF a candidate whom they can elect is the
next best possibility.
That Mr. Roosevelt could be so elected
and that his election would be no expert
ment in efficient government are facts
worthy the careful consideration OF Re-
publicans at the present time.
