Europe knows, even better than they
are known here. the difficulties OF
the undertaking involved in adapting
to American customs new set or finan-
cial machinery patterned on foreign
models To set up such machinery and
make 1t run smoothly it would seem
almost Indispensable to have among the
engineers man of Mr.. WARBURG's
training. experience and ability. The
right man for the work having been
found the Senate at Washington
straightwny proceeds to make 1t impos-
sible for him to serve the country.
We venture to say that In order to
gain any end Mr.. WARBURG. has never
in his career compromised conscience
or conviction to the extent that Sena-
tors who have assumed to doubt his
qualifications for the Federal Reserve
Board have made such compromises to
promote their political interests. On
the theory that the kind OF politics
which country supports gives 1t the
kind Of government It deserves we can
which declare ability, experience and
fine character to he at n discount in the
Senate when it comes to approving ap-
pointments to office.
Nevertheless. because of the very
practical issues which are dependent on
the successful establishment Of the Fed
eral Reserve system, we hope that
through the efforts of the President
Mr. WARBURG may yet become u mem
Der of the Federal Reserve Board with
out being asked TO make an impossible
surrender of self-respect.

OF Chicago. the Presidents personal
choice" proved himself to the Senate
the Federal Reserve Board. The Presi-
dent had sought to clothe him in the
garb OF reformer who had entered
the directorate of the International
helping the company to mend it's ways.
1t took courage to put off the gulse in
which the President had represented
him. but Mr. JONES roundly asserted
his ignorance of any such reformatory
intentions and stoutly maintained the
entire lawfulness Of the corporation.
| Under the circumstances. the Senate

ton dispatches naturally suggest that
Mr. JoNEss display Of courage has
made it very unlikely that his appoint

VII, Rhode Island Is Rhode Island.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: That
the reason for the naming OF Rhode
Island may be known. let history speak.
The first trading ships reached New
Nctherland In 1911, and when three years
later one, the Tiger. of venture COM
posed of three vessels was accidentally
burned shortly after her arrival, "A ship
to take her place was constructed on the
Island of Manhattan, so historians have
agreed until lately. Now the opinion Is
beginning TO prevail that the site OF the
building of this first ship constructed in
New Netherland was on the river below
this yacht" the Onrust, that Captain
Adrlaen Block. the navigator discovered
the coast az far north ms the island to
which the Dutch gave his name, Among
other places named by them were Cape
MAY and the territory now Rhode Island,
the former after Captain Cornelis Jacob
sen Mey and the latter because its soil
was red of color
This latter statement is substantiated
by these authorities:
The Du Slmitiere Manuscript states
"The Dutch name Roodc Eylandt. which
literally means Red Island" GColls. y. Y.
Hist. Soc. End Series, l.. 27Il and this Is
indorsed by y. Y. Col, MSS, l.. 72, where
it Is recorded that "Divers Quakers were
living at Red I'm or Rhode Island, in
August, 1858.
Uutchinson's History Of Massachu
setts. H." printed 1895, puts the same
thought into these words: Rhode Island

The mystery of the wedding ring

character OF the experiment is sutii-
GENTLY indicated in the following letter
from an esteemed correspondent in
Alhcmarle county, Virginia:
III woman were to place a silver fork
on n polished table and then, putting her
elbow on the table, were to suspend n
plain gold ring from her forehnger by n
niece of black silk thread. so that II
swung about an inch above the fork, the
ring would swing back and forth across
the fork. II man did the same thing

This experiment ! made Yesterday in
company with two young women. both UNI
married. I being married and more than
middle aged The ring behaved for me
and for one of the young ladies exactly
as described. but when the third of the
party tried it, the ring behaved in all
respects as II she had been n man.

whether there are many women thus
peryerse; and whether there are any
men for whom the ring would swing

The Drug Abominatio at Sing Sin q

Most likely the statements made by
ex- Warden JAMES NJ. CLANCY regard
ing the wholesale use Of drugs by the
inmates Of Sing Sing prison are true
The discoveries made by Miss KATu-
ARINE Il. DAVIS in our local prisons and
penltentiaries leave little room for sccp-
tlclsm. But the question that must
come to every ones tps is: Why in the
world did Mr.. CLANCY remain warden
so long and permit such abuses
lie says that the traffic in whiskey
and drugs tlourlshes throughout the in
stltution. that nearly all the convicts
are victims of the drug habit. that
young prisoners are morally ruined Ivy
il. lie says that Il political ring on
the outside controls the system and
makes a profit Of s25,0W Il year out of
it. He impotcntly walls that nothing
can be done about it until there Is au
investigation and the names Of the
hackers of the infamous trade are re
vealed.
1t must strike every one with amaze
ment that Mr.. CLANCY. knowing all
this. did not act upon his information
when he had the power. IL did not
take Miss DAVIS long To discover what
was going on and TO start reform and
punt shmcnt in highly practical fashion
when she took hold Of our city correc'
tional establishments.
with the great power of the warden
of State prison any man who had
courage and alertness might have made
similar record. If secret influences
worked against him all that was needed
was a little publicity. An attack or
the drug ring was sure of support from
the people before which politicians
would quail. All Mr.. CLANCY had &c
do was act with decision and energy
and rely on the newspapers to disarn
his opponents.
At any rate. he has spoken now. No
body will doubt the substantial truth o.
what he says. II becomes the duty OF

TIE WEBB Law.
Remarks by an Eminent Professional
ti-SalOOnist


To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-Sir: Re-
Gently you printed under the title The
ebb-Eenyon Law-Why II Disappoints
Prohibitionists and Suits the Liquor In

linson, which made quite merry at the
expense of the Webb law on the ground
that 1t is not effective, and which more
than iutimates that the Ant-Saloon
League did not know what 1t was doing.
If Mr.. Robinson were informed he
would know that tho Webb law was
drafted on purpose in such form as not to
take the ordinary run OF liquor cases into
the Federal courts, The campaign for its
passage was predicated on the proposition
of allowing the States 20 enforce their
own laws and whore a decision has been
rendered that seems adverse it means in
effect that the state law Is not drawn
In such manner as fully to dovetail into
the Federal measure,
The statement in Mr., RolinsOn's letter.
"the liquor people made little or no effort
to prevent its becoming law because
they saw it's harmlessness." is a Rrotesque
untruth which can he forgiven your corre-
spondent because he evidently does not
know what he Is talking about, The most
desperate liquor lobby that tho country

temperance people in advance OF his cleo

Congress We would have no trouble at his
