a! Il of the night prowlers would cease to exist.
 The gaseous envelope of atmos- pheric air surrounding the earth is the medium in which we have to live and it bears the same relation to the human family as the waters of the globe to the order of fishes. The air and water are essential to the life as much factor to man as the quality of water 10 the fish, This normal atmosphere air eXerts on our bodies a definite dynamic force or physical pressure of 14.7 pounds on every square inch of our bodies. if We live at or near the sea level and the higher uo we go this atmospheric pressure diminishes until on the heights of the Rockies it is probably two pounds less. The normal pressure at sea level is indicated by the barometer as thirty inches, and it decreases by an estab- !ished scale as it ascends these noun tain heights. Most persons know that ascents of mountainous peaks, thou sands of feet above sea level results in marked physical distress. difficult breathing, general depression at the summits. and in extreme cases bleed
 ing at the nose and even from the lungs. due to this lessened atmospheric pressure. Just so it happens that when the barometer is '1ow' for a considerable period, say drop from thirty, the normal guage, to twenty nine or below when stormy or dult weather ensues, We get the analogous effect imperceptibly, but in an appre- ciable degree for it has happened that a definite measure of atmospheric pressure is released from our bodies and naturally there follows a disloca- tiJn of our normal balance. The average adult man sustains on every pleasant day an atm ospheric pressure of about fourteen tons at sea level when the barometer reads at thirty and a drop of an inch or more. to tWcnty-nine and below practically takes off half a ton Or more of his load to which he is accustomed. Periodically, instead of feeling lighter and freer feels it's disturbing depressing effect on his tissues He has to become adjusted to this altera- ton from normal tensity to one of 'un- usual relaxation. and while it is slow in its manifestations, as baromctric changes are generally gradual, yet the effect in miniature is like going up to great height on 8 mountain range. Of course this feeling is neither serious nor fatal, but the relaxed condition in unpleasant weather extending over a number of days makes us feel "out or Sorts."

Injustice and PRACTICE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; We hear much criticism OF the
courts for apparent injustice. 1t Is unfair
TO the courts. Such criticism should be d.
rccted TO the cause rather than TO the e.
feet Let no one lose sight Of the fact that
the courts themselves are ruled and gov

which bind the litigants.

il might 90, will do nothing that would have
such far-reaching importance as a consider

legal practice" in this state.
Under present conditions practice" seems
to be Of the essence That is 20 say, that
though a lawyer might have q meritorious
case to prosecute for his client, his careless
ness or Ignorance in practice" will more

takes of practice are not renewable by the
appellate courts on application of the client;
the acts Of his attorney are absolutely

There has been no more welcome note

that of Howard Elliott, chairman Of the
New Haven directorate. A turn in the

decided impetus for the better in New

Veto the Canncries Bill!

Governor Whitman should veto the
canneries bill which the Legislature has
Just sent to him. Whether he views THIS
Legislation as a matter Of politics or prin-
chile. It will still be desirable for him to
veto il. From either angle 1t Is lamen-
table that the Republicans in the Legis-
lature passed it. It would be incredibly
stupid and dangerous for the Governor
TO fall in with them in supporting so
vicious measure.
This state has taken definite, positive
stand against the exploitation OF women
and children by constituencies employers.
The public mind is entirely made up on the
subject. There should be no backward
step. Economically child labor and over
long work by women are waste. They cost
the state actual dollars. Instead OF
making these unfortunates producers
as Senator Brown argues, such q policy
robs the state of a great share Of their
productive power. 1t spends more than 1t
brings in. Some legislators possibly do
not know that; greedy employers don't
want to know it. Governor Whitman, as
Chief Executive of this state, must not
shut his eyes to it, for 1t is cold, hard
fact.
Still less should he shut his eyes to the
effect of this bill on the individuals con-
cerned. On the one side are a few can
ners-not majority Of those in that
business, by any means-who expect to
grow sleek and rich on the proceeds OF
the toll Of women and children days,
nights, Sundays, at 10 cents an hour. On
the other side are these women and chill
dren. breaking down their nervous sys-
tens, running their health, not working
cheerfully, but driven in competition with
machines in noisy, unsanitary, moisture
rocking factories for mere pittance.
Against every consideration of decency
and public welfare, of intelligence and dis
interestedness, the Republican leaders in
the Legislature forced this bill through
practically as a party measure. Why they
should be so generous to a few Gamers is
something they will have to explain to
the state at the next election. Unless
Governor Whitman desires to fasten the
burden of public disapproval irremovably
upon his party and include himself in the
condemnation certain 10 be visited on
those who voted for this bill he must

THE WRECKAGE AT ALBANY
Interpreted as an Argument for Con
tinuance Of the Progressives.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I was much interested in the article
in your paper on Sunday entitled us the
Progressive Movement Dead?" and most
heartily concur with the writer's conclusion
that it cannot die But 60 still further and
assert that neither can the Progressive party
die and one OF the strongest arguments for
it's continued existence is your excellent edi-
toral in a recent issue entitled "The Wreck
age at Albany" It is just such work as that
done by the present Republican and the last
Democratic Legislature that shows the neces-
sity of a party with a true progressive
spirit. party with men whose watchword
is Forward" can join, and be sure that it
will continue to work for the great legislative
reforms so sadly needed.

tant measures now or recently before the
Legislature, such as the Mills HoF inferior

Immigration at a Standstill.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In reference to your editorial Of
March 81, entitled Immigration at Stand
still" ] beg to point out that the present
time. when immigration is at low ebb, is
Just the time to get the laws into proper
condition, as ii can be done with the least
hardship TO intending immigrants, and wher
the immigration service has more time than
usual to arrange details.
I would also suggest that the mere fact
that immigration has fallen off does not re-
move the need for the reading test. Unde-
sirable aliens may come just as much when
immigration is small as when it is large
OF course, the fact that there are less OF
them makes the damage they do less for the
time being; but there is no more reason
why we should take undesirable people now
than any other time. The reading test i,
not a purely restrictive test; it is also Sc
Iective.
Investigation has shown that those who
are ignorant Of language are also ignorant
OF trade, tend to settle in cities and the
slums Of cities, have little interest in poll
tics, tend to go back and forth without per
manent interest in the country, live on a
very low standard in order 70 save money
20 spend abroad, and furnish an appreciable
proportion OF our dependents and delin-
Quents. The fact that the reading test has
been passed by one house or the other OF
Congress twenty-three times in the nine
teen years by average votes Of more than
to l, shows that, contrary to President
Wilson's statement, the people of this coun-
try want restriction and by that method. It
has got 70 come. We might Just as well have

Astonishing Diplomacy.

Germany's answer to our request for
compensation in the Frye case is Curl
Gus diplomatic exhibit. The American de-
mand was purposely framed so as to avoid
argument. 1t presented the bare facts
and invited the German government to
act on them. The German Foreign Office
admits that under the treaties Of 1899 and
1923 between Prussia and the United
States compensation must be paid for both
the vessel and the cargo. That admission
closes the incident. Why, then, lug in an
argument as to what Germany's attitude
might have been if those treaties had
lapsed and the case had had TO be settled
according to general principles Of inter
national law?
Obiter dictd are futile in law and dan
gerous in diplomacy. In order to regu-
larize the conduct Of the commander of
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich the German
Foreign Office attempts a construction Of
international law as It now exists which
is plainly at variance with the contentious
put forward only a few weeks ago TO
Justify Germany's unprecedented declara-
ton Of warfare on enemy merchantmen.
That warfare was declared to be a meas
ure of retaliation for Great Britains
treatment Of food cargoes intended for the
use Of the civilian population of Ger
many. 1t was held at Berlin that food
should not be treated as contraband of
war unless it was clearly destined for
military uses.
Now. in the obiter dictum on the Frye
case the German government holds that
foodstuffs are contraband if consigned to
a port which happens to be fortified
place belonging to the enemy or which
serves as a base for the armed forces Of
the enemy. Germany thus assents to an
extremely broad construction of the Ian
guage of the Declaration Of London "a
declaration which is Of very doubtful in
ternational validity and which the United
States has elected to disregard because
of its uncertain status for the purpose
Of indicating Captain Thierichens. But
at the same time she cuts away practically
the whole foundation Of her own protest
against Great Britain's seizure of food
as contraband. since virtually every Ger
man port to which food can be consigned
is in one sense or another a base of SUP
plies for the armed forces of Germany.
Is it any wonder that the latter day
diplomacy Of Germany has become a
source of establishment to the rest Of the
world?

FALSE ECONOMY
Legislators Are Saving Dollars Now
at Expense of Future.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; The Economy" Of the present Legs
Isture is n travesty Of fundamental social
obligation. It is grotesque and would De
absurd II il did not involve the safety and
health Of children and women Consider the
Spring bill for the reorganization Of the
Labor Department on which a hearing was
held Yesterday before the Senate Committee
on Labor Legislation and which proposes
20 substitute for the present Department OF
Labor and the present Workmen's Compen-
sation Commission single commission which
shall be responsible for these two unrelated
matters. enforcement OF the labor law and
administration Of the compensation law with
\ staff considerably smaller than the com
bined stats OF the two bodies at present.
The one ostensible reason for the change Is
economy.
True economy is measured by the faith
fulnesq with which the rights and welfare
Of the people are provided for, and in dol
lars and cents any weakening OF the pro-
lection now afforded to the wage-earners
Of the state would inevitably result In q
piline up Of costly burdens for the future,
There is absolutely no reason 20 believe that
the changes proposed in this hasty and i'll
considered measure would increase the ef-
fciency of either body. Rather II would
cripple their activities by a division OF in

what it can do. And the present organiza-

recommendations Of the state factory in

ested and widely respected body the state
