London Newspaper Changes.
IRON TIC Manchcstcr Guardian)

fFfOm TIC hdHc1f1fff bH1fdidn.l
The changes in the propretorshp Of two
London journals have none of the sensa-
tional interest of the acquisition of "The
Times" by Lord Northclife or OF 1.-THE
Standard" by Mr.. c. A. Pearson, but they are
taken by journalists TO be healthy signs of
belief in the possibilities Of London journal
ism. Last year the sale of "The Pail Mall
Gazette" TO a syndicate particularly inter
ested in London municipal politics was almost
settled, but the sudden sppartion OF the war
affected this like many other deals. The
only change that occurred was that the
ownership passed from Mr.. w. W. Astor 20
his son, Mr.. Waldorf Astor. The Aston in
terest in "The Pail Mall" now ends, and most
London journalists are sorry TO see it go,
for it added much color to newspaper life.
Old Mr. Astor took TO newspaper proprietor
ship in the same sporting way as his fellow
American millionaire Mr. Vanderbilt took to
running the Brighton coach, and both were
sights for proprietors who were in the bust
ness for ideals or for profits to admire rather
than initiate. "The Pail Mall Gazette" under
Mr.. Gusts editorship is still spoken Of in
Fleet Street as the golden age Of journalism.
The Aston management also gave US Mr. ]. l..
Garvn as editor, and he has given Fleet
Street some of its brightest and liveliest mo-
ments. He will now concentrate his gifts
upon "The Observer" which he has already
made so individual and interesting an organ.
The head Of the ney syndicate which has ac-
CURED THE Pail Mall Gazette" is Mr.. David
son Dalziel, the Unionist member for Brix-
ton, formerly chairman OF THE Standard"
and Evening Standard" Companies, and Mr..
D. VI. Sutherland, formerly editor Of THE
Evening Standard" will edit it. Sir Aler-
Snder Henderson is the chief of the syndicate
which has acquired 1.-THE Standard" and Mr..
Woodward, also former editor If THE
Evening Standard" will be in charge.

Doctors and the Public.

1t was a professional audience that DR..
H. B. Favil addressed in his plea for a
square deal between the public and the
medical practitioners, and it was therefore
very proper that he should insist upon
the peculiar defects and shortcomings Of
his colleagues without considering too
infinitely the popular prejudices and weak
nesses that encourage and in a manner
justify them. Doubtless he did right in
condemning the self-satisfaction and easy
going optimism of medical men, in dwell
ing on the narrowness Of medical training,
and in pointing out the responsibility Of
the profession with regard to the false
pretences Of "faddists blundcrers and well
meaners." His task was not to frd ex-
cuses for his fellow-practitioneis but to
show them the error Of their ways.
In all candor, however, it must be adj
mitted that the distrust which he so
gravely laments as fatal obstacle to use
full cooperation between the public and
the profession is not wholly attributable to
but ueANui IL VI dNiuiiCd AauAbo VI Nilt uOC-
tors. 1t may be true that the doctors are, as
he holds, responsible by default for most
of the fantastic therapeutic heresies that
pervade society to-day; it may be partly
in consequence of the errors he dwells
upon that the world, as he puts it, "s so
full Of isms, pathys and pseudo-philoso-
plies in medical affairs" But is il true
that the medical men are entirely, or even
mainly, at fault? Are we not rather JUS
titled in attributing the multiplication of
new heresies TO certain weakness in
humanity that requires infallibilty in the
healer?
1t is well enough TO say that "the public
is gradually learning facts, the profession
is gradually learning its function, and
side by side they are moving and destined
TO move toward enormous results" But
the obstacles placed in the path of prog
ress cannot justly be attributed TO the
doctors alone. If the public is learning
the facts, if the physician is obliged TO
be more humble than of old, it is certain
that the demand for infallibility still pre-
walls and that the temptation to cater TO
that demand is as strong as ever. In fact,
the very existence of those pseudo phil

Abolish Ludlow Street Jail.

Various unsuccessful efforts having been
made to get the Constitutional Convention
to abolish the process Of imprisonment for
debt Mr.. Gilbert, counsel to the Sheriff,
now wants TO have the Ludlow Street jail,
home of the "Alimony Club" eliminated.
He tells the budget makers that 100000 a
wear can be saved if the Jail is abolished,
and backs up his argument by appeals
against debt imprisonment on moral
grounds The combination of the two lines
Of reasoning ought to succeed where the
moral argument alone didn't.
Imprisonment for debt is a futile, self
defeating thing, cruel beyond the spirit of
this age. 1t frequently becomes the in
stiument of blackmail or revenge. FOrtu-
nately, it has small place in the legal ma
chinery of the day. The jail where pris-
oners for debt are confined-most of them
for contempt of court in failing to pay ali
mony-is a standing joke, yet it is an ex-
pensive joke for the city. So long as civil
Imprisonment is permitted under the law
there will have to be some place to confine
these prisoners. But Mr.. Gibert's sug-
geston about the Ludlow Street Jail de-
serves serious consideration by the city.
1t seems almost impossible that vastly
cheaper way of handling its inmates could
not be devised.

Opinions Of Various Readers on

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have read with great interest and
cordial approval your editorial in this morn
ing's issue entitled "Mr. Wilson's German
Policy" In the main | agree with your con-
illusions. Without doubt the vscillation and
weakness of our foreign policy have pro-
voked the contempt Of Germany and have
Encouraged that nation to violate our rights.
But ! am inclined not to go with you to
the extent Of believing that the adminstra-
TONS attitude Is not fairly representative
Of the attitude Of the American people col
lectivey. am disposed to think that this
is "peace-at-any-pric country and that
we have become too proud to fight" The
American nation boasts of its practical sense
and then turns a kindly ear to that most
visionary and impractical set Of Utopians,
the professional paciists. It prates of It's
spirit and yet a self-advertising millionaire
manufacturer of automobiles finds it good
business" to insult the army and navy, which
includes about the only class Of men in the
country who are willing to relinquish the
mad chase for the almighty dollar in order
to give their services and their lives. if
necessary, to the country.
What is the reason for this? May il not
be found partly in the fact that the com
forts we enjoy have made US soft and re-
luctant to undergo the necessary hardships
that go with military training and service ?
Is it not partly that the spirit OF license so
prevalent in this country makes us unwilling
to submit TO the salutary discipline of a
martial training? Cannot some Of our
Willingness to endure anything rather than
fight be traceable to the sordid commercial
ism which scorns anything as utter waste
which does not directly produce a profit to
American business? Does not the extraor
binary influence of feminsm have its effect
in making The nation effeminate?
The silly arguments of the pacifists and
the advocates of unpreparedness can only
appeal to a practical people If that people
is in the pitiful state of mind where the be-
lief in universal peace is imbedded in their
minds through the we'll known process ex-
pressed in the old phrase that "the wish is
father to the thought"
Why not admit that the yellow streak in
US is no longer streak, but broad, envel
oping blanket? Why not admit We are
lpusilanimous, decadent and cowardly as
we'll as sordidly commercaized? Perhaps
we have only been ignorant We have no
longer that excuse. This war should have
opened the eyes OF the most obtuse The
nation is on trial, and the next few years
will demonstrate whether its course is to be
that of declining empires toward utter i'm
potence. F. B.

Farewell to Freedom of the Press

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Shame. Shame on The Tribune for
its complete face-about from rabid war
provoking editorial page to a contemplate
criticiser Of the Presidents policy This is
no doubt due to politics, for which again all
the more shame! No wonder Germany looks
with contempt upon our newspapers, il not
upon the American people. A modified
censorship md regulation of the opinions of
newspapers would be good thing in this
country, particularly in case OF such a glar-
ing. outrageous, turn-coat attitude as The
Tribune has now assumed.

Praise and Thanks
AMBAR.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your splendid editorial In to-day's
issue of your publication unquestionably
merits the praise and thanks of every true
and patriotic American. You have coura-
geously pierced the darkness which has en-
shrouded our national affairs, and have
brought US TO a stern realization of the true
causes TO which the present crisis must be
attributed.
With the words of the great bard in mind,
may truly say, "The New York Tribune in
arms! All is not we'll. There's something
rotten in the United States" IL is now time
to turn from the perlous path which we have
been following il we are to safeguard our
national existence.
You have nobly and fearessly performed p
painful duty, but it is TO the very best inter
ests Of this country, and your solemn warn
ing should not 90 UNDECIDED.

Keir Hardie.

II is recorded that on viewing the hrst
reformed Parliament the great Duke OF
Wellington vowed he had never seen so
many shocking bad hats in his life. But
AT least the hats he saw were recognizable
as hats. for none before Keir Hardie had
the temerity to- appear before that emf
nentlv respectable assembly in a tweed
cap. Many will remember how grievously
the House was scandalized on that momen-
tous occasion; but shocks of this sort are
endured with more cquanimity to-day:
the start-up member whose eccentricltles
caused so much perturbation in the early
gOs had come to be accepted, and none OF
his later departures from the common
forms produced quite the same thrill as
the tweed cap.
The member for MerthyrTydvil was a
picturesque rather than an impressive
figure in English politics. lie had an I'M
dcrstanding above the common run, but 1t
was neither broad nor profound. He was a
self-made man and it was through his own
ability and perseverance that he raised
himself to such eminence as he attained
He was emotional and kindhearted, but
vain; he never forgot his humble origin
and. pluming himself on the difficulties he
himself had overcome. he was very apt to
look with scorn on those whose circum-
stances were more fortunate. Quite char
acteristic was his bitter attack on the
King. of whom he said that "if he had
been born in the ranks of the working
class his most likely fate would have been
that of a corner loafer."
Keir Harde was too much of senti-
mentalist to be great leader. His limi-
tations were shown clearly enough in his
violent but superficial criticism of the
Indian government and his no less bit
ter denunciation of Sir Edward Grey
with regard to the negotiations that
ended with the present war. On the
latter occasion he quarrelled with many
Of his old friends and supporters, though
his honest desire to the last was to defend
the rights and interests of the working
classes. There was nothing of the states
man in Keir Hardie. He was a good
fighter, but not a great thinker. He was
great man in little things, but great
affairs were quite beyond his keen but
limited understanding
