The Federal Reserve Board.

President Wilson has at last completed list of
appointees to the Federal REESE We Board which is
carry into effect the legislation recognizing the
national banking system At the las mosent Mr.
Charles S. Hamlin, now assistant Secretary of
the Treasury has taken the place of Mr.. E. C. Sim.
mons, of ST. Louis, who declined to serve
The Tribune has already praised most of the
selections from private life for this important body
Mr.. Hamlin has had good deal OF experience in
Treasury work. having also been an assistant Secre-
tary OF the Treasury under President Cleveland
He is a man of high character and of conservative
leanings in finance. The board is less political In
personnel than might have been expected from the
influences which controlled in the creation of the
federal reserve districts. The two er onfcio men,
bers-Secretary McAdoo and John Shelton Williams,
tn. Controller of the Treasury-are the only two
out.andout politicians who will have a hand In adj
ministering the new banking system.
We hope that the board will do we'll and that it
will manifest from the first disposition to live
down the deplorable record made by Secretaries
McAdoo and Houston and Mr.. Williams in the
reserve district gerrymander.

Cool Thoughts for Hot Men.

Anybody can lead charge in battle or play
polo with a broken rib but only the few bravest
men that ever lived can be persuaded to wear q
white suit Of clothes on the streets of New York.
1t is hotter than in many tropical city here
for much of the summer. A few miles away on a
beach or tennis court everybody light clothes
as a matter Of course But when the hour strikes
for business that freest and bodest of all immortal
souls, the American, swathes his person in dark,
hot castings and fares forth to town. moist muttering
and miserable. In the recesses Of his sweltering
heart thought sizzles-as in the embraces Of a
freless cooker-to the general effect that he is a
blitherng idiot and a crazy lunkhead to wear such
clothes And there, for most OF us, the matter
hangs.
Each year, however, few more heroes come for
ward and with the heroes stand. Spots of crash
duck and pongee pass in steadily closer review.
The other day group Of ambitious hotel men
formed a white clothes league Meanwhile the
soft collar gains converts and helps along the gen.
eral notion that comfort may be worth considering
Who knows but that in a few more decades ordi-
nary towards like ourselves may dare to burst upon
the world in white!

THAT 90 PER CENT AGAIN

terested," Il Seems.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue OF June 8 is a COM
munication with regard to the 80 per
cent OF the anti-suffragists, and your
correspondent suggests that the informa-
ton is unfair and misleading.
Two years ago last February. in COM
piling my handbook, Anti Suffrage Ten
Good Reasons" / asked Miss Jessie Ash
ley, then treasurer OF the National Wom-
an Suffrage Association. what proportion
OF the women OF this country could be
said To be actively interested" in the
suffrage cause. Her reply. as telegraphed
to me in Washington. gave the figures
upon which the estimate OF per cent
was made. using the census Of 1910 and
its statement regarding the female inhab-
itants OF continental America az basis.
With full suffrage authority for our hg-
ures we then publicly stated that about
per cent" OF the women OF this country
were actively interested in suffrage. Since
that time three more states have either
wholly or in part enfranchised their
women. and supposing that this means in
creased interest we have increased our
percentage estimate TO 10 per cent or
even Is per cent. This estimate was used
by Dr. Shaw upon the platform last
winter In Buffalo. She evidently did not
consider II either particularly famous"

TO SAVE THE REPUBLICAN SHIP
Only the Colonel as Skipper Can Do 1t,
Saws a Progressive.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: One OF your correspondents, think
from over Long Island way. wants to
know II the Republicans are going to IN
yite the captain who wrecked the ship
CRoosevelO back to command.
In the first place, the Republican ship
was wrecked by Penrose. Root, Barnes IL
Co. The real captain was compelled TO
walk the plank, to use the correct pirate
expression.
Instead Of sinking, he boarded the first
craft he found at hand and brought the
ship ashore, leaving the Republican huik
floundering in midocean.
There are now loud cries Of distress
heard along shore. They want the only
skipper RoosevelD to again take the helm
and save the old ship from going down.
That is the situation in a nutshell. 1t is
either Roosevelt and e-Repup-
lican success or a triumphant Democracy
with soup houses on the side.
In a three-cornered fight the only bene-
fciaries will be free trade England and
Southern aristocracy of Wilson office
holders.
The best way for the Republicans to be-
gin the campaign OF 1916 is to elect Roose-
Welt Governor this fall and get the party
together for the grand charge two years
later. IHEODONH

Saving Babies.

The sentimentalists and the efficiency economists
can shake hands over the Greater New YORK Bapy
Week TO begin June 20 Most of us, with or WITHOUT
babies of our own hate to think OF the youngsters
who never have chance. With all that we are
supposed TO know of herediy we revolt mt the ldea
that the sins and ignorance and hard luck or the
parents must he visited upon defenceess mites OF
humanity. II isn't fair.
The economic value of the youngsters whose lives
can be saved by proper care is not precisely cacu
liable in dollars and cents. But 1t is enormous-one
OF the really big savings which are being accom-
plished in the of efficiency. 1t amply justl-
fes the work that is planned under Mayor Mitcheis
direction to educate, warn and train the mothers
Of the city in hot weather precautions.
By such active dissemination Of good health
doctrine the rate of infant mortality has been re-
duced in six years from IA to 1O2 per 1000 births

to feel prouder we do not know what it Is

WHEN STRIKE BREAKERS ARRIVE
A Union;s,'s View of the Colorado War
fare.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to my good friend Il. II.
Brinkerhoff's latest performance in your
columns. He seeks to refute the state
ment Of Professor John Bates Clark,
who asserted that the miners of Colo
RADIO were fundamentally justified in
their chief contention-for the right to
bargain collectively with their employ
ers. Mr.. Brinkerhoff insists that the
miners chief contention was that their
employers had no right to refuse TO so
bargain with them. Even admitting this
point. which is a good deal stretched, Is
II possible that Mr.. Brinkerhoff does
not know that the mine owners are
themselves organized into most powerful
associations, and that they are so organ
lied for the express purpose of bargain
ing with the miners collectively as en-
ployers Of labor. e.. for the purpose of
reducing wages TO just above the point
Of starvation? And II this is right for
the mine owners why is II wrong for
the miners?
In closing he again reveals unheard OF
depths OF ignorance: And yet II would
be safe to wager a thousand TO one that
Professor Clark never heard of an in
stance in which a strike breaker ever
bothered a striker who kept away" Can
IT be, then, that Mr.. Brinkerhoff does
not know the function OF the strike
breaker? When n strike is called the
strikers are told over and over again
by their organizers that the policy OF
folded hands wins. They devote them
selves to peaceful picketing. and for the
rest wait-just wait. Now enters the
strike breaker. usually an ex-convict or
professional gunman. With him come
rape and violence. disorder and riot.
which It is his special business 20 To-
ment Then the militia is called out
and the strike is drowned out In blood.
and again society has been saved by
some of its true heroes.
This has been the record OF every
great strike OF the last twenty years.

Punishment for the Ballot Box Suffers.

Confession yesterday from nineteen of the in
spectorS and poll clerks indicted for ballot box
stuffing in Murphys district at the recent special
election makes a total of twenty-five officials who
have admitted their guilt. This is in one Assembly
district only. There were several other districts
where the returns suspicious on their face
as in Murphys district.
Ballot box stu1ing is a particularly vicious and
abhorrent crime, pity will be wasted on these
men who have to take their medicine But District
Attorney Whitman should not rest until he has the
man or men who instigated this crime. Punish
ment for the agents would be little satisfaction to
the community if the politicians higher up who
hoped to profit by the rascaty went free.

THE STONE OF SCONE
A Celtic View of Piece of Scottish
Sandstone.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the dispatches from London re-
lating to the "Stone Of Destiny" injured
by suffragette militants, reference to the
Irish origin Of the stone is jealousy sup
pressed. Yet all the legends are taken
from Irish literature and have a common
foundation. The stone, according to ira
dition, was carried from Spain to Ireland
by the Tua-de- Danaans, and from It's
Gaelic name, Liza Fail (Stone Of Destiny,
Ireland was called Inis Fail isle OF Des-

quered the West of Scotland requested
the Irish monarch to send him the stone
to be used at his inauguration at Iona.

From Dunstaffnage, the first royal seat
OK the irish kings IN Scotland, the stone
was taken in s54 to Scone, near Perth, by
Kenneth, son of Alpine, conqueror of the
Picts and first Irish King of all Scotland

was preserved until 1896, when the Nor
man Edward, impressed by the Irish
verse, took 1t as trophy OF victory to
Westminster to give security to his
throne.
A Scottish geologist has claimed the
stone to be neither Irish nor Eastern. bit
