"A LETTER HOME"

Like to come and see you daddy, and perhaps will some day;
Like to come back East and visit, but I wouldn't care to stay.
Glad you're doing we'll, and happy; glad you like your country best,
But, for me, I always hunger for the freedom of the West.
There's a wholesomeness about it that I couldn't quite explain;
Once you breathe this air you love it and you long for it again;
There's a tie you can't dissever in the splendor of its sky
It's just home to you forever and I can't just tell you why.
It's so big and broad and boundless and its heaven is 81 blue
And the metal of it's people always rings 10 clear and true;
All it's beloved acres culver like the shudder of the sea
And it's waves roll, rich and golden, in upon the shore for me-.
Why, your farm and all the others that we used to think so fine
And your old red clover pasture, with it's gate of fence rails barred,
Why, it wouldn't make a grass plot in our district schoolhouse yard.
Not a foot has touched it's prairies but is longing to return,
Not an eye has see the sunset on its western heavens burn
Blu, looks back in hungry yearn.ng with the memory growing dim.
And the zephyr of it's prairies breathes the cadence of a hymn
That is sweet and full of promise as the "Beulah Land" we knew
When we used to sit together in the queer, odfashioned pew,
And at evenude the glory of the sun and sky and sod
Bids me bare my head in homage and in gratitude to God.
Yes, 1 love you, daddy, love you with a heart that's true IS steel,
But there's something in Dakota makes you live and breathe and feel;
Makes you bigger, broader, better; makes you know the worth of toll;
Makes you free IS are her prairies and as noble as her soil,
Makes you kingly as a man is; makes you manly as a king;
And there's something in the grandeur of the seasons sweep and swing
That casts off tho fretting letters of your East and marks you blest
With the vigor of the prairtes-with the freedom of the West!
BY James W. Foley.

Filly Mignon.

It is perfectly true of the human spe-
cies that its members can become used
to anything, and there is nothing inner
emily unclean or unpalatable about horse
meat. Those who have consciously eX-
perienced its gustatory properties insist
that it differs only slightly from beef
and makes a satisfactory meal. In Brus-
sells before the war it brought higher
price in the market than certain grades
of Argentine beef, and to-day, no doubt.
is considered a luxury there. The horse
is far more particular in his habits than
the pig, and les subject TO disease than
the COW, and it may be, as DR.. Haven
Emerson contends, that the restriction OF
the use of the horse to transportation IS
an unfair discrimination against noble
animal.
But when the gourmets and the health
officers have had their complete say there
will still remain a residuum of sentiment
in almost every human breast opposed to
this novel development Of the carnivorous
impulse. Horses, like dogs, possess per-
sonalities which divert ones mind from
the steaks and chops concealed beneath
their silken hides. Even the plump ones
respond too readily to human guidance
and companionship to encourage the ap-
petite. 1t is hard to observe the faithful
friend of man, whether cu-vetting in con-
scious pride about the tan bark ring or
plodding half asleep in front of horse
car. and to conceive simultaneously an un-
holy craving for his tendcrloin. Such a
lust smacks of cannibalism.
There is another consideration, Of q
purely practical nature, to give one pause,
and that is that only the steed which has
outlived his usefulness will seem . profit
able investment to the butcher, particu-
larly since the war has enhanced the
value of all horsefesh. And age. except
in wine. does not recommend itself to the
palate.
No, we are inclined to challenge the
prediction of the Health Commissioner
that horsehesh as food will rapidly become
popular in New York following the re-
peal Of the official edict against it. though
Ultimately, if the horse is to disappear
from our streets, he may find a refuge
on our tables.

Where the Daniels Programme Fails.

In an article in "The Yale Review"
George Won L. Meyer, Secretary of the
Navy under Presidents Roosevelt and
Taft, makes two very pertinent criticisms
of Secretary Daniels's recent report.
The first concerns the inadequate in
crease recommended in the enlisted force.
1t has been shown time and again that
the navy is short of men. There are not
enough sailors TO provide full compliments
for the ships of the various classes which
ought 10 be kept anoat and in training.
Secretary Daniels admitted this shortage
in his report of December, 1914, but ex-
cused himself then for not insisting on
more men by arguing that it was practical
bic 10 keep a good many of the older YES
sells in reserve.
A navy on half service is not navy
which is properly preparing and training
for war Such a policy leads to rapid de
tcriora,ion in personnel as well as in
ships. To keep them in proper state
Of efficiency the fighting vessels must re-
main IN commission. The navy needs At
least $1,000 more enlisted men. II could
use 20 good advantage 10000 more. But
Secretary Daniels is still tied down by

The Easier Mark.

tFrom The Boston Herald
Have you noticed the contrast between
President Wilson's tone toward Austria and
his long maintained attitude toward Ger
many? Read his note upon the Ancona af-
fair and compare it with anything that he
has ever said to Germany in regard to the
Lusitania and you will find a difference too
fundamental 10 be accounted for by the
repetition of offence on the part Of the leu
tonic allies. For in the first instance he

the undoubted head Of all the Vaccinations
here.
Germany has made no apology or retrac-
ton for the Lustania affair. She has stopped
her submarine campaign, but that doubtless
is due TO the terrific punishment which the
British Navy has inflicted upon the under
sea craft. Germany is strong power: Aus
tria is a weak one. There is German vote;
there is no Austrian vote that anyone knows
much about. In fine. tho head Of the Republic
retains the characteristic Of wise pedagogue
who knows to which pupil 1t is more discreet
70 administer the singing rebuke.

"Scrapped.''

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While fully apprecatNe Of your atti-
tude toward the Allies and their cause. I
cannot but feel that you are bit severe on
Sir John French in your editorial "Scrapped,'
appearing in The Tribune Of December j..
There are many things for which men re-
ceiye censurc, but rarely for not running
away from n fight; for this. however, you
deal out a bitter arraienmeut Of French; The
very thing which many times has covered
men with glory. In delaying retreat, Frenchs
army-vhilc perhaps not acting prudently-
fought like true Britons. If the whole truth
were known. we should probably discover
that the officers and men Of the British army
were unwilling to retreat, since on their front
they had ne situation we'll in hand. This
being the case. it would be difficult for them
20 realize the critical situation OF their
French Allies.
Your intimation that Kitchener should fol-
low French on the way to the scrap heap
is unworthy Of a great paper. for h. OF h.
mas SHOWN unparalleled genius as on organ
izer Of military forces. He may not be great
as a field general he is not in the feld-but

canizug and raising armies his peer could
not be found throughout the length and
breadth of the British Empire

Free Speech for Professors.

The trustees of the University of Penn
sylvania will never be able TO convince a
good many people that Scott Nearing was
not discharged because of his radical
views and utterances on political and eco
nomic subjects. Though they cannot OBJ
literate the effect of that action, they
have done much, in amending the uni
versity statutes regarding tenure Of Of
fee by faculty members, to place their
institution where it ought to be in the
matter Of academic freedom. Under the
new rules the trustees will not be able to
dismiss a member of the faculty because
they do not like his voice, the color of his
hair, his party politics or his views on
child labor.
Before dsmissing a member Of the
teaching staff the trustees must confer
with committee of one representative
from each of the faculties Of the univer-
sity. Also there is a provision for noti-
fcation of reappointment before definite
date sufficiently in advance Of the eX-
piration of the existing appointment to
remove the possibility Of a last-minute
dismissal. such as occurred in DR.. Near.
ing's case.
These are wholesome changes, and 1t is
well for the University Of Pennsylvania
that they were made. The prestige OF
that institution suffered because of the
Nearing case. Though the public is not
willing to take without grain of salt
everything that college professors give
forth, it looks to them, and ought to be
able 10 look to them, for comment, inter
probation and guidance. 1t would be we'll
nigh fatal for any university to acquire
the reputation of being able and willing
to muzzle its faculty members for politi
cal or financial reasons. These change:
relieve the University Of Pennsylvania
from the likelihood of such a charge.

Continue Students Cards.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II has been brought 70 our attention
that the special students cards issued by
the New York Public Library for the last five
years will be recalled by the first OF next
year. and that the privileges OF the holders
OF these cards will be practically eliminated.
In view Of the reasons for these special
cards, for the he!p and convenience Of stu
dents unable to procure such books as they
need for effective study, We think this pres
cnt move unreasonable and undesirable.
There is nothing so beneficial 20 the car
nest and hardworking students attending The
schools and colleges Of this city day and
evening as to have access to the many neces-
sary reference books for continuous home
study. These special cards have supplied q
great need and have been Of unlimited help
to the users OF the public libraries
We therefore urge upon all who arc in
terosted 10 uphold our request for the con-
tnuance Of the special cards after the first
OF next year. CIVIC COMMITTEE.

confess his former error Of judgment
only to the extent of asking for 1900 more

ously handicaps the development OF the

Mr.. Meyers second criticism concerns
Mr.. Daniels's unwilingness to see Naval

preparation of the fleets for war and with
their conduct in war, and in consequence the
navy is being built and administered on
peace basis. and is not being efficiently pre-
pared for war service. In this respect u
differs from the admiralties of ali other nH-
vies. whose energies are directed by tnor-
oughly educated military stan. me lealihg
officers Of our navy have TO years eontihu-
ouslv advocated this essential organization
but Congress has always refused 10 grant IT,
II should be clearly understood that even
though Congress were TO appropriate TOT
nav as large and as we'll built as that OF
Great Britain and 20 supply il with the neces-
sary number Of officers and men, 1t could not
be used efficiently against a powerful enemy
unless it had in time of peace been supplied

This is a true indictment. The greatest
need of the navy to-day is intelligent mill

permanent direction and permanent pol
lev. Secretary Daniels's conversion is only
half accomplished. Without proper organ
ization even an enlarged navy could never
do the work on which the country depends
for safety.

Sir: Your cartoon or picture on the edi-
torial page Of your American paper. entitled
"Wky Austria, Mr.. President" is readily
answered, j. e.. by old sailors who have seen

States are n negligible quantity. The Ger
man vote is stable, and hope fingers in our
aniiable Presidents breast that in the near
future the latter vote may be 20 his credit
but We think not. Germany, with all Of her
faults and they are many. respects a
fighter far more than a party too proud to
fight
