THE MIDDLE pF THE ROAD.
Where SNOW should lie Piled when Side.
waiAs and Cutters Are Cleaned.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: IL
there not some way of calling the atten-
ton OF property holders to the nece ssi ~
not only for cleaning of the snow from
their sidewalks but also for cleaning and
freeing the cutters? 1t would entail little
expense ana trouble upon each house
holder to have this done. to pile the ma
tsrial up In the centre of the streets with
An occasional opening in the pie that
would allow for the passing or turning of
horses and vehicles. Such q responsible
lily. borne by the householder. would save
the city large sum. reduce the wear and
tear upon vehicles and the injury To
horses and prevent the obstructions TO
traffic which now occur.
For years i have followed this plan in
the street where | live. and have got the
neighbors on either side and opposite to
cooperate with me. 80 that In our block we
have free passage for vehicles and room
for them to turn.
Could not the Street Cleaning Depart
ment facilitate the work ~ cleaning the
city by following the same plan? The
snow. piled In the centre OF the street.
could then be carried on at the conv--
nience Of the department. but meanwhile
traffc might go on unimpeded, particu-
iarly II the Police Department were en-
listed to see that this plan We're carried
out. f. c. r.

The Army-Naxy Gam.

To THE EDITOR ~ THE srs-Sp. All loyal
New Workers should be pleased at the an
nouncement that an EFFORT Ii being made to
have the coming Army-Navy football game
staged In the metropolis There Il no other
city or town In the United States In which
the facilities are as up to Date and perfect
for handling the large crowd that the game
attracts ~ New York.
The 1913 game was played here and Il
was played under peculiar conditions. mas
much as II WAS the first time the game was
staged In New York and II was practically
In the nature OF experiment Those In
charge at the Polo Grounds, and In fact the
entire city were on trial, and made good In
every way, Persons who have been present
at the gridiron struggle between the two
academies for many years were profuse In
their praise OF the way In which the game
was handled In this city II WAS the best
ever.
So there Is no reason why the great struE.
gle should not take place here In 1914. 1t
may be a little lnconvenient tor the Mid
dies. hut the authorities Of that Institution
should remember that West Point has trav.
rlied to Philadelphia for many seasons and
ths Navy should return tho favor.

A Good Citizen.

JOHN LAMBFRr CADwALkbER, who
died yesterday In his seventy-seventh
year. was lawyer OF the old fash
Toned type that may be said to have
made all law its province Instead Of
restricting itself to the sharply divided
and narrow provinces Of the specialist.
His mind was singularly penetrating
and capacious; he seemed to have the
gift OF almost instant comprehension
of the obscurest and most complicated
details.
To this city Mr.. CADwALADrR gave
long and fruitful service a. trustee Of
the Public Library. of the Metropoli-
tan Museum Of Art, the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History and other in
situations. He was loyal son and
faithful friend Of Princeton University.
His life was rich In multiform labor for
the community.

Is ROckhill to Be Called?

Il may be difficult to find the right
man to I'll the shoes OF Professor JOHN
BAssETr MooRE, counsellor to the State
Department, but the report that w.
w. RocKHIIL may be appointed his sue.
cessor seems too good to be true. Mr..
RoCKHILL Is not an encyclopaedia Of III.
ternational precedents like Professor
MooRE his practical knowledge Of dip
iomatic intercourse is very extensive.
however Seldom has any American
seen 80 much service. Mr.. RocKHILL
has been thirty years In harness. be-
ginning as Secretary Of the American
Legation at Pekin In 1854. On Far
Eastern affairs he Is perhaps the great
est living American authority. Minis
ter to China for four years and Ambas.
sador to Russia for two years, he had
been Amba ssador to Turkey since April,
1911. when he was relieved by Presi-
dent WILSON.
Mr.. RocKHnL has also served as
chief clerk Of the State Department
and as first and third Assistant Secre-
tary of State. Under the auspices Of
the Smithsonian Institution he was In
charge of two scientific missions that
spent four years in China and Tibet.
Also lingulst and writer on Oriental
subjects, Mr.. RoCKHIIL would be Of
great value to any Administration, Re
publican or Democratic. He has served
under five Presidents, and. like an OH
Ger Of the army or navy, he has never
had any politics In the performance of
his duties.
II President WILSON has reconsidered
his decision not to employ WILLIAM
WOoDvILLE RocKHIIL 1t is matter
for congratulation. He is worth an in
calculable number Of the kind Of politi.
clans who have been displacing good
men In the diplomatic service to cancel
obligations incurred by the President
and Mr. BRYAN.

HUNGARIAN PEASANT

As Novel as Futuristic Work

The exhibition Of Hungarian pes.,,,
art was opened in the galleries of ~.

members reception. which was also a.,

and by NJ Jurjlevitch. private chan,p.,.

textiles predominating. The colors us.s
are as brilliant as those employed bv IN.
futurists. and the designs. while equally
as novel as futuristic work, are less open
to criticism.
In short. this peasant art. like the ar,
Of the primitives. Is at once vivid and

born OF genuine racial experiences. With
the increase Of railroads and travel IN,
barriers between the nations have b..n

France, Germany. Sweden. almost every
country In Europe, In fact, has watched
the abandonment OF national costumes BY
the peasants and the decadence OF native
arts with alarm. and most OF these coun.
tries have societies now whose aim Is 70
check II.
In Hungary there Is a home Industry
association TO encourage the peasant
workers OF the country. most Of when are
farmers and have plenty of leisure In
winter, during which they manufacture
the objects OF their household use.
The Government In founding the society
was guided by two considerations. Nrst
the desire to preserve the old patterns Of

and secondly. 1t desired to aid the peasants

J. Nilsson Laurvik. the art critic with
Dome koperly. director OF the society
chose the objects of the present display.
which In fact gives most comprehensive
and creditable account OF Hungarian
peasant art
Some of the most interesting pieces Of
the collection are the decorated horns
made by the Hungarian herdsmen ana
shepherds. whose only tool is a pocket
knife. Although these men have no pat
terms to guide them the work compares
favorably with the best work d>n- hy
trained artisans.

Electrical Wiring,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir. 1t
IS about time the electrical fraternity
generally put up a vigorous kick"
about the odium cast upon the business
by the repeated reports OF all the news
papers attributing practically every fire to
crossed electrical wires"
That they do not do SO is probably due
more to the contempt they feel for the
statement than to any other motive.
Electrical wiring as done nowadays is
under the strlctost supervision OF the
proper agents Of the fire Insurance COM
panies and can only be done by Compe-
tent workmen under responsible con-
tractors.
The statement IN probably 90 per cent
Of the cases Is a lie. and is either due to
the ignorance or carelessness or both Of
the parties who make II. Reporters gem
orally are intelligent men and IL is up to
them to stop this. T.. w. STEVENSON

The duties and powers Of the Presi-
dent with regard to the opening, main
ten8nce, protection and operation Of
the Panama Canal and the sanitation
and government Of the Canal Zone are
partly defined In the act approved on
August "a, 1912. The requirements Of
this statute and the provisions Of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty constitute the
code for the President. We mention
the Hay Pauncefote treaty I'm connec-
ton with the Panama Canal act be.
cause the treaty. not less than the stat

land.

O'GOBMAN Of New York and Represen-
tative OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD Of Ala

of the coastwise exemption clause.
What, then. would he the Presidents
duty under the existing law?
The existing law meaning thereby
both the Panama Canal act of 1912 and
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of 1902, for
they are both binding upon him, Is
mandatory in two particulars, both neg
alive:
/. The President must not impose
tolls upon vessels engaged In the coast
wise trade Of the United States. This
express prohibition is contained In Sec
ton 3 Of the Canal act of 1912.
2. The President must not prescribe
tolls discriminating Ia favor of one M
ton as against another or involving
terms of inequality In respect Of the
conditions or charges OF traffic. This
prohibition Is contained In Article Ill
Of the y-Pauncefote treaty Of 1902.
OF course both of the foregoing pro-
visions of law would be oDeyed by the
President If he refrained from prescrib
ing any tolls whatever; that IL. II he
