Temperance In Russia.

James Davenport Whelpley, in Century
Nothing In the history OF Russia has
done more to bring bou an era of
better understanding between the Ov-
the people than the pres
ent war. The people are with the car
as never before. They have accepted
him as the champion o. the Slav and
as one who wishes them we'll. There is
a wonderful mystical spirit in the mass
of the Russian people to which appeal
must be made for any great arouslng
OF the nation. and this las been accom-
plislred by the man who is their ruler.
He, too, has the same nature. which is
responsible for many things he has said
and done in the past that have seemed
inConsruous, and nave been misread by
western minds. That he has not in
terpreted wrongly the spirit that is in
his own people is shown In the success
OF his bold adventure In temperance re
form. In this he has caught the higher
aspirations of even those who have In
the past at times yielded the mastery
of their souls. and has given to every
peasant oma a fuller guaranty OF
safety for herself. her children and her
home. 1t Is the greatest temperance
reform the world has aver seen, and 1t
has prevailed In a country where 1t was
needed more than in any. other. with
the possible exception of England"

The City's Financial Crisis.

The figures presented by Mayor Mitchell
in his statement calling for drastic econ
omy show anew the financial crisis which
this city IA approaching. The last budget
was for $780, 10000, though in it there
was given to the departments working
under the Mayor and Board of Estimate
s1,5O0.OOO less than for the previous year.
In preparing the budget for 1916 allow
ance will have to be made for the fact
that the city will have to care each day
for two thousand more inmates of the
charitable institutions and two thousand
more inmates of the correctional institu-
tons than was the case for the year now
ending. Moreover, there are various man
datory salary increases, notably in the
Police Department, to be taken care Of.
This is the normal course Of the growth
Of city obligations and consequently Of
city expenditures. To meet this years
budget a tax rate had to be imposed which
property owners considered high, on valu-
atoms which in many cases were more
JidH tIle plNptiby NOuiu OIlIlB III INC Optll
market. And now the city must raise in
the 1916 budget S13,OOO,0OO to pay its
share Of the state tax.
Obviously the department heads, the
Board of Estimate and the Board Of Alder
men will have TO do some lively slashing
in budget items. Something more than
the adoption of the Bureau of Stand
ards's rates Of payment for city employees
(Which is a proper course) will be neces-
sary. Those employees who thus lose their
places or have their salaries pruned will
agree with the Mayor that it is painful
and irksome economy" The public at
large will be less concerned over them,
however unfortunate the individual cases
may be, than over the likelihood that
wholesome and desirable forms Of munich
pal activity, especially in social service,
may have to be curtailed or abandoned.
There is no escape, no redress for the
or its taxpayers. If not one
cent more is spent in 1916 than was APP
for this year, the tax levy viii
still have to care for $4,000 900 more. This

1.-THE MARNE-AFTER A YEAR
The Picture Of What Might Have
Been Too Black.
rn the LILO Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF ! no Tribune.
Sir: Though for several years sub
scriber TO The Tribune, have trespassed
but once on its editorial page, on January .
Of the present year, and should not now ASK
n like courtesy but TO take unqualified ex-
ccption TO an amazing statement in an edl-
torial Of to-day's issue under the caption
"The Mene-After a Year" wherein the
writer says: "And II France had fallen, Bel
GUM. Holland, Poland the Balkans, all Cen
trail Europe from the Somme to the Dniester'
from the Elbe to the Dardaneles and beyond
10 the Euphrates, would have been the prize
Of those who were directing German arms.
France for generations, II not for all time
would have fallen TO the estate of n German
yasssL The Continent would have been as
completely at the feet OF William II as it
had been after Austerlitz at those of Ma
poleon. There would have been left the
battle with England, but who can doubt
what the end Of that battle would have been,
with Germany at the Straits Of Dover at the
Isthmus Of Suez and in little time at the
gates Of India"
The foregoing Is the most illogical premise
you have so far advanced in your generally
fine and pertinent war editorials How easily
you permit Germany to subjugate Great
Britain and her domnions, kercuean task
that even Napoleon found himself unequal
to! Let us assume beaten France and Bel
gium, England still would possess a mighty
ally in Russia, a vast and powerful empire
very able 10 recuperate from her present
debace, which may in the light OF future
events be seen to be mainly strategic. Then,
too, you reckon without Japan as an irwin
chile ally in the East, a power, by the way,
Germany remembers TO her cost at Kiao-
Chau. Would a conquered France give Ger
many more sea power7 And would not
France, foreseeing disaster to her arms, be
more than willing England should take over
her splendid navy to hold intact and IN
trust rather than let 1t fall into tho hands OF
the enemyT
Could German hordes have effected land
ing on English soil with the mighty com
bined navies patrollng the Channel, and
would not England have held the supremacy
Of the seas as she does to-day?
Before Great Britain can be vanquished
her navy must be sent 10 Davy JonesS
locker, and In such event what will have
happened TO the German navy? With the
two mighty navies eliminated an unthinka-
bic eventuality, the issue between Germany
and England would dwindle TO en- inglorious
submarine duel, with the French and British
combined undersea craft preponderating.
You have drawn some pretty dubious de-
ductions anent a conquered Britain, which,
however, thank God, for the sake Of human
ity and civilization, are chimerical and i'm
possible. ALFRED PAUL PHILLIPS.

Increase the Educated Vote.

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: Joseph G. Robin, convicted Of grand
larceny, has been restored to citizenship by
Governor Whitman, just in time for him to
vote on whether or not the women Of the
state are fit to vote. Other citizens who can
vote on the woman suffrage amendment
are the "high fnanciers" who stole people
money by wreckng the New Haven Railroad
and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific;
also the customers at houses Of prostitution
may vote on It, Investigation showed that
in New York City these number between $780,
coo and 225,00O daily.
If New York State believes in these men
voting, and has refused to put a literacy
test in the new constitution, how can men
have the face to refuse women the ballot?
do not claim that women are better than
men, but the following facts certainly show
that they are no worse.
Statistics published by the National Blu
reau Of Education show that the high schools
of New York State graduate twice as many
girls as boys.
In 1913 in New York State penal institu-
tions there were 1909 males and only 1886
females-remarkable figures, considering the
fact that for a whole class of Offences the
social evil" women bear nearly all the pun
ishmcnt Judge Wadhams, of the Court Of
General Sessions, said: "Of the offenders
who daily pass before me less than l per
cent are women"
Giving votes to women will increase the
educated vote, because it will increase the
native born vote The native born have
more chance to 90 to school than most of
the foreign born, therefore they have bet
ter opportunity to understand American
ideals.
Taking the United States census as a
basis. il has been found that the native born
white vote will be increased from 70 per
cent to 81 per cent in New York State in
1915 when women vote.

Attorney General Woodbury. and the
Thaw Case.

After the return TO New York last
January of Harry K. Thaw, under the
decision Of the United States Supreme
Court, Attorney General Woodbury. re
leved William Travers jerome from fur
Their connection with the case as Special
Deputy Attorney General, stating that the
case would thereafter be handled by the
Attorney Generals Office through Franklin
Kennedy and Frank X. Cook, assisted by
tho District Attorney of New York Coun-
ty. The Tribune on January Is published
an editorial article severely criticising the
Attorney General for such action. In the
course Of such article use was made Of
expressions which were interpreted by the
Attorney General and by others as imputa-
tons upon his personal character and in
tegrity as an individual, as lawyer and
in his official capacity.
The Tribune has already made known TO
Judge Woodbury. that it had no intention
TO impuga his character or his integrity
either as an individual or as an official. 1t
deems it. proper to repeat that assurance
in these columns, where such article APP
peared, and to add that it regrets the
publication, not alone because Of the I'M
fortunate expressions used, but because
the article was based upon information
which later investigation proved TO be
without warrant.
The Tribune is convinced that Judge
Woodburys reputation. private, profess
sional and official, is high. Therefore, it
is glad to state that anything contained in
the editorial referred to which creates or
might create a contrary impression was
not justified and should not have been
written or published.

The Writ Systems Value.

In another column The Tribune pre-
sen;s a letter from Mr.. Howard w. Nudd,
Director Of the Public Education Associa-
ton Of the City Of New York, describing
results Of the Gary, or Writ system of
education in one Of the schools here. This
IS especially pertinent now, when the city
. authorities are wrestling with the part
time problem. Mayor Mitchel's call for
drastic economy gives little hope that the
new budget will allow the Board of Educa-
ton the huge sums necessary 70 abolish,
or even materially 20 lessen. the part-time
evil by the present method Of attack.
There remains, then, the necessity Of
choosing-and choosing quickly-some
method which will work and still be with
in the city's financial limitations.
OF all suggestions made so far, the adop-
ton Of Mr.. Wirt's method seems far the
best. II has for a primary recommended
ton It's economy. Mr.. Nudd points out
hat Mr.. Writ has made an estimate Of
1000 900 as the cost for changing school
throughout the city for use by
lis duplicate system. That must be COM
pared with the s3O,OOO,O00 estimate of the
