Congress Should Right the Wrong Done
to Captain Gibbons.

There is pending on one of the calendars Of
the House of Representatives a bill to restore
Captain John II. Gibbons of the navy, to active
service. Now would be good time to pass that
bill and thus repair the gross injustice done to
gallant and efficient officer by the last naval
plucking board. That the navy needs more good
officers is generally admitted Here is a chance
to regain the services Of an officer in whose
record no flaw could be found and who fell
victim to the personal prejudces and proposes
sons Of his star-chamber judges.
In the hearings before the House Naval Com,
mittee Rear Admiral Knight, member of the
board. disclosed some of the anmus against Cap
tain Gibbons. He admitted that the captains
service in the navy was without blemish. Yet
he sneered openly at one portion of that ser
vice, referring to the L. S. S. Dolphin, which
Captain Gibbons once commanded, as a yacht"
The inference was that commanding her was
stain on an officers record. Yet among other
officers who have commanded the Dolphin are
Rear Admiral w. II. Brownson, Rear Admiral
Yates Stirling and Rear Admiral ". II. II. South
erland, three Of the most conspicuous men in the
navy in recent years. 1t was no blot on their
records to have accepted such an assignment
Nor, except to a hostile and prejudiced mind
could it have been blot on the record of
Captain Gibbons.
All Of Admiral Knights testimony was futile
Congress would honor itself by undoing Captain
Gibbous's wanton blackballing by the pucking
board.

Public Work for the Unemployed.

Dock Commissioner Smith writes to the Mayor
that a special appropriation for which he fought
will save the jobs of 692 men. Work will be
done which needs to be done, but which the city
felt too poor to do until the Commissioner
prodded the Board Of Estimate. In another bu-
reau of MS department scheme for preventing
the discharge Of employees has been worked out.
Each man in turn will take vacation without
pay, thus reducing expenses, but enabling the
men to live. This plan was adopted by Immigra-
tion Commissioner Howe when the federal au-
thorities short time ago ordered him to reduce
his staff. without any especial thought of what
would become of the employees.
Responsibility for the unemployed rests on the
authorities If they contribute to the total num-
ber of those out of work by discharging faithful
public employees they simply make the pubhc's
burden in one direction greater while lessenng 1t
in another Commissioner Smith and DR.. Howe
had the right idea. 1t is much better to keep man
employed and pay him wages than to make him
a pauper and support him.
1t is so much better that sooner or later city
authorities will attack unemployment by way of
municipal empoyment-not only the use of citi-
zens in so-caed municipal improvements, but
the employment of persons otherwise objects of
charity in municipality conducted enterprises. This
suggestion has been made frequently this winter
If this city is not yet ready TO 90 the whole
Journey. it has taken the first step, and the
pressure of providing for the thousands of job
less may force it to take other steps soon.

IN DEFENCE OF BEDFORD
A Visitor to the Reformatory De-
scribes Its Successful Work.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: SO much criticism is being di-
rected toward the Bedford Reforma-
tory that feel it is my privilege as a
constant visitor TO that institution to
state certain facts in refutation.
Few people reading the articles pub
lished in the daily papers about Bed
ford understand the premises 'r ap-
precate the fundamental fact that the
majority of women committed there
are far below normal both mentally
and physically, having lost their health
and will power through lives OF drink,
drugs and the like. Thus these women
start minus, and to give them even
fair chance TO make good means much
building up of both character and
phvsiaue before they can reach start
ing point.
Having more than fifty girls in my
sewing club and being interested in
the organization and coaching OF five
baseball mines from the different cot
tages, many sides of reformatory life
and the spirit of those working there
are shown me through these girls. And,
10 Judge from what | see and from the
letters sent me by the girls after they
are paroled, great many nave,
through Bedford, been helped and
shown a way 10 earning a legitimate
living. Appropriations, | know, do not
allow the food to be of hotel fare, but
the regular routine Of life and plenty
Of fresh air bring a remarkable I'M
provement in the appearance OF the
women in a comparatively short time.
And as they improve physically they
become naturally more amenable, but
il takes a long time 90 make any real
impression of right and wrong think
ing on girls who have become hardened
bv contact with all that is worthless
i'm their struggle for existence. II by
teaching them 10 do efficient work in
the lines Of cooking. sewing, chamber
work or stenography the feeling that
they could earn their own living after
they leave Bedford is thus restored, a
certain self-respect and a starting point
are reached. Each girl is required 70
attend a certain number OF classes in
domestic science, and the majority have
been taught to sew very well.
As all the work al Bedford IS done
entirely by the women the accusation
Of idleness is obviously untrue. There
fore those Of US interested in Bedford,
interested in giving a girl another
chance through knowledge OF better
things than life OF the streets, feel
that il can be accomplished only by an
intelligent tolerance of opinion and
sympathy felt by all for those un-
fortunates inside or outside the insti-
tuition. GERTRUDE p. BISHOP.

The Morning After the Verdict.

There is Just one word TO describe the sentl-
ments that prevailed in the minds Of the Cleary
Jury. and that word is bunk. The cheapest sort
of theatrical cap-trap wrung tears and verdict
of acauitta from those twelve tender-hearted
citizens. If there could be any doubt as TO the
falsitv of the beautiful picture Of loving, noble
fatherhood painted by counsel for the defence
that doubt was removed by this same father
statement, issued as soon as he was safely out OF
jail. Said he:
Drink caused this horrible situation. l will never
drink again / will never again touch glass o.
beer wine or any other form Of liquor. Had not
taken that first glass Of beer on Sixth ay; on the
night of July 22 when went out TO send tele-
gram and mail a letter, Eugene Newman would not
now be dead by my hand.
We trust that the twelve jurors read this
statement in the cold gray light Of the morning
after. It shows their noble hero a plain drunk
ard-and, as drink is no excuse for crime PLAIN
murderer This sequel should have wide atten-
ton. It may help to save the next jury that has
10 try a drunkard and murderer from beng
buncoed out Of its reason and sef-respect.

Whitewash for District Attorney Smith.

The report of Mr. Bigham Governor Glynn's
commissioner appointed TO hear the charges that
District Attorney Smith of Queens County failed
to do his duty in refusing TO prosecute two minor
Democratic politicians accused Of assautmg Mrs
Clara EIert. is ridiculous. He finds that the
charges are not sustained and agrees with the
District Attorney that not enough evidence was
presented to warrant him in urging indictments.
All this is in the face of the fact that one OF
these men. having been indicted subsequently and
prosecuted by deputy attorney general, is now
serving time for the crime which Mr.. Smith and
the Governors commissioner say there was no
legal evidence of his having committed. This IS
the second ridiculous report presented recently
by a Governors commissioner, although this one
probably excels the one which held Mr. Voorhs,
Elections Superintendent, to be able, efficient and
not politician. Governor Glynn seems to have
had as much trouble to get clear-sghted, straight
thinking commissioners as Tammany did to get
honest efficient offceholders.
New-York tribune., 1914-12-22

A narrow life, yes. But at least they bit deep
into things and smacked their lips over what
was their business in life. All kinds OF civilized
glories passed before their eyes once they sat
down behind bars. But the days were draD ana
unreal-we put it mildly for the sake OF the
parallel-by comparison with what had gone be-
fore. Can a city be a cage? Strange as the idea
NAV sound, we think it Life is measured
not by what we see and hear Of and talk about,
but by what we do. Too much can blunt and
stupefy and ensave quite as effectively as too
little. 1t is far better to be a free somebody IN
a small town than the overwhelmed victim OF
large city.
At least that is what appeals to US now after
contemplating the lions who left home and the
letter Of our reader who did likewise. Perhaps
some of those who stayed behind will tell US how
far we are right.

THE PEOPLES COLUMN

Lutte and logged perversity. This is
the people which modern Germany has
sprung from. Modern German militar-
ism has only aggravated this natural
propensity in fact, the militarlsm OF
Germany is the natural result of such
q nature. and was instituted by men Of
the domineering temperament, Of the
harsh, feelingless type of men such as
we find in the vandals Of ancient times.
Frederick, father of him who was sur
named the Great" was such a one. 1t
is related of him that if any one Of
his household disobeyed his word the
offender was Immediately put 20 death.
His own son at one time barely escaped
the death penalty, so cruel and terrible
was the wrath Of his father. This man
was the originator Of modern German
militarism.
Is il not clearly evident that the kai-
ser. polished by the modern "so-called"
German Kultur, is what Darwin would
call "reversion TO type? He is won
derfully like his ancestor in sentiment.
God help him.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

against ravaging barbarians, who are

FL ToRo's CROWN OF SORROW.

Like the ripple of the dawn wind through the cur
tains of the day
Like a dim, sweet trail of incense coming down
from old Cathay,
Came thy lips to mine a-murmuring dreams of
laughter, love and tears,
And the shadows lifted slowly as the Dawn
rolled back the years.
Came the splendid glow of morning and golden
surge of life,
And thy lips with all their scarlet pulsed to mine
in mad, sweet strife
From their heights on old Olympus gazed the gods
with shaded eyes,
For it seemed their fires had dwinded in the fame
they saw to rise
Then | left the Adirondacks-back to work and
back to town.
And | see you in the subway, sometimes, riding
up or down.
But you don't appear to see me-ain't this world

The Right TO Kill.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Perhaps it is pertinent to rise
on this occasion and remark with much
satisfaction that the American Jury
system has been resplcndently vindi-
Gated. We have maintained in all its
pristine integrity the old American
principle of the right TO shoot down
young men who happen TO marry our
daughters without our consent. The
Cleary case also establishes forever
that the "technic" of judicial opera
tions in murder trials is to allow. as
one of the jurors so admirably ex-
presses il. the daughter 70 come in and
give the father chance 20 show his
patcrnal affection" Under such circum
stances verdict OF guilty would be
unconstitutional. J. l.. SEWARD.
