Changing the "Poor Mans Court.

The changes in procedure of the munic'-
pal courts TO which Mayor Mltchel nus
given his approval are in the main I'M
movements. The arbitration plan, where-
by a Judge may hear and endeaVor 10 ''0-
nose Of n case without red tape; the issu-
ance of summonses by attorneys, the apo
lition of dernurrers, the broadening Oh 'i'
irs,ices' mower to create rules so that they
NOV establish courts for the trial OF GER
+oin classes Of actions, will all tend 10
bring about a prompter rendering OF JUS
tice through greater speed and smoothness
IN the handling of the court cases. MS
obviously, is for the good Of the hugahVS'
II is unfortunate, on that very score
that the limit of jurisdiction OF the court
has been increased from $500 to Sl'Voo'
An effort to accomplish this has been made
for several years, but always has been
defeated before this because the change
would deprive the poor mans court OF
one of its advantages. Almost certainly
many cases which heretofore have had to
90 to the City Court, with its congested
calendar, or the Supreme Court, will now
be taken into the Municipal courts.
These cases, involving bigger amounts
than the ordinary run Of litigation there,
will overshadow the small cases as well
as clog the calendars. The poor mans
case. which ought to have the best atten-
ton and the speediest handling the judges
can give and the court rules provide, is
bound, in the judgment Of lawyers familiar
with these courts, to suffer. To just that
extent the poor mans court" will cease
to perform its function.

Another Explanation.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have taken notice Of your editorial
in regard to the sinking of the British pas
senger ship. l am forced to differ with you
in regard to your accusation OF cold blooded
murder. The causes of the loss of life must
be attributed to accidental upsetting of life
boats and to the fact that the crew of the
passenger ship lost their heads and so caused
catastrophe am fairly wellto-do man,
but am willing to wager all my possessions
that it was not cold blooded murder, but an
accident of lfeboats.
Recently an American citizen was shot to
death by a British sentry in Bermuda. This
is what call murder. Also two men were
shot near Fort Erie, but | fail to find in
previous editions any such phrases as cold
booded murder. 1t seems absolutely i'm
possible for you to be fair in this war game.

Figures Wanted.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | think your editorial commenting
on Governor Whitman's veto Of Mayor
Mitchel's garbage bill is most unfair 70 the
Governor. The public has had no enl!ghten-
ment from you on the details of the Mayors
scheme for the disposal OF garbage. Figures
are given of a haphazard character, but no
detail accompanies them to show the man.
ner in which they are arrived at.
The Mayor glibly speaks OF s1,400 900
saved, and another million dollars earned as
a net profit. | can hardly credit representa-
tions of this character without corrobora-
two facts.
The bill does not provide in any way for
municipal operation during the term OF the
contract, and incidentally deprives the city
of the privilege of municipality operating the
several incineration plants that the city has
built and now operates.
Before his election, in 1913, the Mayor
caused himself to be regarded as a firm ad-
vocate Of municipal ownership and opera
ton.
Il seems 20 me that IL garbage disposai
plant can be shown really to yield the enor-
nous profit stated by the Mayor-that is.
$1,000 900 annually--it is a great mistake for
the Mayor 10 support a bill which would
turn that profit over TO private contractor.
Why not let US have the detailed figures OF
this stated profit! JOHN W. LINDSAY.

ENGLAND THREATENED WITH
PROHIBITION
Also with Prosperity and Happy
Homes.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | was struck by the heading Of your
editorial England Threatened with Prohibi-
ton"
Poor old England, One would think that
she would lose all that makes life worth
living if the drink was cut off.
As Briggs says, Some one is always tax
ing the JOY out of life
Is it not time for us to swing away from
the fallacy that liquor adds to life and Joy
and happiness?
Any group Of drinking men is like an
undertakers' conference compared to a group
Of hearty total abstainers.
You can see more real fun and Joility IN
a meeting of ant-saloon men than you can
frd in any tawdry saloon or gilded cafe.
England will be threatened with plenty
and prosperity if the government shuts down
the lid on booze She will be menaced with
happy homes and cheerful children II she
stops the drink evil.
Let us get rid of the idea that we are 60
ing to lose something out OF life by prohibit
ton. 1t is called narrow and bigoted
method or policy.
Well we have the word OF One whom the
Christians call Master about the wide gate
and broad way that leads TO destruction,
while the strait gate and narrow way leads
to life. j. V. T.

Music to Soothe the Outlaw.

A favorite theory of ethics would make
the basis for human conduct universal
desire to harmonic ones self with ones
environment and the universe. Both the
good and the wicked have this desire II
is declared, but the wicked lack the instinct
to crafty it. Criminologists contend that
the wicked suffer from nervous defects
which interfere with their sense Of rhythm,
and therefore dull or destroy the natural
feeling for the harmonious in conduct and
surroundings.
All of this may have some bearing on
the assertion of Pittsburgh's Superinten-
dent of Police that music will convert the
crook" Music is simply an Interpretation
of life expressed in harmonies which even
our Mike the Bites and Gyp the Bloods can
feel with their effectively strung and poor
Nv attuned nervous systems. Indeed, there
is some reason for believing that their
natures are starving for some aid of this
sort to g proper subconscious appreciation
of their relation to society. There is, from
this point of view, as much pathos as hu-
NOR in the report from the city Of smoke
that recently when the police quartet in
Central Station sang "Where Is My Wan
dering Boy Tonight" three pickpockets
wept in their cells. Even such simple fare
they receive with emotional gratitude.
But not all simple fare, whether of food
or music, is properly nourishing. Cheap,
sentimental tunes induce in the savage
breast pity of self which has no perma-
nent curative value. If Superintendent
Matthews would put his belief in the re-
formatory power Of music to thorough
test he should first learn TO discriminate
between the wholesome and the unwbOle-
some in his medium, or make way for a
more learned dietist.

TO meet those new conditions The modern
submarine in naval warfare is such an Gle
ment.
The old rule was that a merchant vessel
Of an enemy nation should be destroyed with
or without loss Of life only when there was
danger that she would escape or when 1t was
impracticabe to send her to any home port
of the nation which had captured her. This
rule is not absolute, and there is much au-
thority for the contention that an enemy's
merchant vessel may be destroyed on sight
il the attacking vessel prefers that course to
making capture. providing always hat there
shall be no wanton destruction of the life OF
non-combatarts and that neutral passengers
and cargo shat: be protected If possible, the
capturing vessel knowing cor having reason
to believe them 10 be such.
How much these rules may have been mod
fed by the injection of the submarine into
the naval situation and what bearing sucn
modification may have upon the case Of Mt
Thrasher is a grave diplomatic question, but
il has no connection With the other propo-
sition that Germany should not destroy
neutral vessel upon the theory that she may
be an enemy flying neutral flag.

Scope of Our War Zone Protest.

In letter which we publish in another
column Mr.. Andrew Colvin maintains
that we gave too broad an Interpretation
TO the two paragraphs from the State
Departments letter Of February 10 last
which we cited on Thursday as applying
to the Falaba case. He says that neither
Of them was intended to cover the killing
Of an American citizen who had taken
passage on a British merchant ship. He
adds: "Both refer to attacks by German
submarines upon American vessels, and
the reason for the language used by our
government in this note was the implica-
ton in the German declaration that,
because Of the use by Great Britain Of
the flags of neutral countries for the
protection Of her merchant ships, neutral
commerce might suffer at the hands of
German undersea war vessels"
We cannot agree with Mr.. Colvin that
the note applies solely to attacks by Ger
man submarines on American vessels. Its
opening paragraph contains detailed
summary of the programme announced by
the German Admiralty. Among the items
of the programme to which attention is
called is the following, which has nothing
TO do with the destruction of neutral ship
ping: "That all enemy merchant vessels
found in those waters (the war zone0
after the 18th instant will be destroyed,
although il may not always be possible
to save crews and passengers"
Thus the note postulates for discussion
the effect as a whole of the German cam
paign against unarmed ships, and then
warns the German government "tO con-
slider, before action is taken, the critical
situation in respect of the relation between
this country and Germany which might
arise were the German naval forces, in
carrying out the policy foreshadowed in
the admiralty's proclamation, to destroy
any merchant vessel Of the United States
or cause the death of American citizens"
If it had been intended TO limit the
argument to cases in which American
ships were attacked, the note should have
read not &C. cause" but "and thereby
cause" the death Of American citizens.
That would have tied us up to single
line of protest. Yet. after considering the
entire scope Of German activities in con-
trayention Of existing international law
the State Department deliberately distin-
guished between the destruction Of Amer
lean vessels, whether resulting in loss OF

Peace Through Thought.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | think your paper more nearly rep
resents right thought in journalism than any
other New York paper, and believe you Will
agree with me that the present state OF
thought in the world is grievous thing.
The world has tried quite long enough to de-
stroy evil by force, and it can never be done.
The Master said: "Be not overcome with evil,
but overcome evil with good"
Therefore, human intelligence which LENDS
itself to developing more and more powerful
engines of destruction will never lead the ma
tons into the land of promise, where peace
reigns supreme, nor bring about the mlllen-
mum. | believe that if every influential news
paper in the United States would print the
following quotations from the Prophet Isaiah
on the front pages, clear across the page
under the heading of the paper. and let it
remain there until the prophecy is fulfilled,
however long that may be, it would set a
wave of thought going around the world that
would shorten the time of its fuliilment many
years, and perhaps it is nearer at hand than
most of us think.
Now, would suggest that you be the
pioneer Of this movement, and | believe
many other papers would take up the sugges-
ton. Mankind are mostly like sheep, all they
need is leader. The quotations referred to
will be found in Isaahsii. A. and last clause Of
verse XII in chapter 81. Easter Sunday being
so near it would seem to be a good time to
start the thought going. Believe me 70 be
sincerely yours for peace on earth, good
will to men," w. NJ RICHARDSON.

Word and Deed.

Governor Whitman's approval Of the
census bill, with its failure to place the
appointees under civil service regulations,
is bad business. His own chairman OF the
Civil Service Commission and the Civil
Service Reform Association condemned
the measure. The Governor himself said
it was objectionable and Contrary to
the spirit of the constitution and the prin-
ciples underlying the civil service law"
Despite the Governors excuse that ne
cessity for immediate action caused him to
sign the BILL there is no doubt that the
Legislature, aided by an emergency mes
sage, could have passed with exceeding
speed a bill to suit him if he had vetoed
this one. The Governor now has approved
the civil service principle by word Of
mouth and defeated it by action. And the
organization will get the jobs resulting
from the Governors act

Lor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l have been reading with much inter
est in The Tribune your various exposures
Of fake" sales, and have been in hope that
sooner or later you would reach the "rain-
coat situation" Upon reading The Tribune
Of March % I notice that you have not only
reached the raincoat situation but have
treated it in the vigorous manner which It
deserves.
II is a pity that the penal law covering
false or misleading advertising cannot be
enforced in such manner as to prevent
taking of this kind, not only in raincoats
but in other merchandise. For years not
only in New York but in other large cities
fake" raincoat sales have been q crying
evil, but there has appeared TO be no way 70
put stop 20 them.
feel assured that your various articles

zation of some of the conditions now exist
ing. and in behalf of the standard and old
established manufacturers OF waterproof
clothing like ourselves I wish to express my
appreciation. &. b. HODGMAN,

Sir:
To give and take is just
A shot for shot. thrust for thrust
From hidden bushes to ensnare foe
And even as a hunter lay him low
While unprepared to face the bitter strife
And ere his can clutch his trusty knife
To send his soul into the upper air
Is vile. But this is war and foul is fair.
But harmless ships upon the seas to sink
While anguished cries over the ocean ring
And from above looks down a mighty king,
Is murder foul, whence all but Germans
