White River Drainage Basin
In the White River valley above
the sink" conditions are favorable
for obtaining groundwater supplies,
which in part could be recovered for
irrigation. In Pahranagat valley the
problem is one of drainage rather
than of irrigation, and the develop

commended for Meadow valley. The
land Should be drained and If the
springs do not yield enough water
to irrigate the entire valley, add

In Muddy valley ground water lies

Prohibition as a War Measure.

There must be not a little in the pro-
hibition Of vodka in Russia, OF absinthe
in France and in the current agitation
to prevent the sale of liquors in the United
Kingdom until the war ends to disturb
some prohibitionists on this side of the
water. These prohibitory measures are
frankly military expedients, designed to
conserve national energy and resources
for the more efficient prosecution Of war.
Mr.. Bryan, who is a prohibitionist, is also
a pacifst. Does he believe in prohibition
that speeds up the manufacture Of war
engines. that increases the efficiency Of
labor so that more young men can be
spared to the army, that multiplies saw
ings TO be borrowed by belligerent govern
ments?
There is an undeniable irony in the
European adaptation of prohibition pre-
cepts for purposes of war, particularly
as they blend so readily with the policy
Of asceticism which a supreme national
effort invokes. One can't resist the mental
picture of Lord Kitchener, with beaker
Of grape juice raised on high, toasting oui
most distinguished pacifst as one Of the
greatest friends to military economy the
world has produced.

SUNDAYS Hypocrisy.
New York, March 20, 1915

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have read your editorial on "A Re-
viyal in This City" Yes, do like to see g
good change come over the people of this city
a revival if you like to call it such.
We had true and real revival over thirty
years ago in this city. But the difference be-
tween that revival and Billy Sundays to-day
is this: Moody and Sankey were sincere
faithful men; they meant every word they
said. Also. there were no deals or bargains
such as give me $4,000 and will save the
town"
To-day Billy Sundays revival is a plain
business transaction of making money
$4,000 and more. ! hate TO see such hyproc-
risy. AS Mr.. Barnum said, The American
PEOPLE like to be fooled" Mr. Sunday is
now a very rich man. He car retire and
laugh in his sleeve at all the dupes.

The Birth of a Nation.
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: This is the fourth week of 1.-THE
Birth of a Nation" at the Liberty Theatre,
and although there has been a general wave
of protest on the part of the negro Of this
city to the Mayor to remove the play or to
modify it, the officials of this city have
turned a deaf ear to his pleas. In company
with a delegation of my race | visited the
theatre where the pictures are showing a
few evenings ago. For the first time | was
ashamed of being called an American, as
saw display of deep-seated race prejudice
hidden behind masterful strategy and sophis-
try. | saw the Reconstruction period dis
torted. blasted and twisted out of proper
ton and negro legislators grossly carlca-
tured and made TO do things that have never
been known in connection with their activ-
ty in the national legislature. For in
stance, a negro legislator is made to present
q bill fayoring intermarriage, which is base
falsehood, for at no time during the negro 9
stay in Congress and the Senate has any
negro representative introduced any such
measure. On the other hand, the negro Con-
gressmen and Senators during Reconstruction
were an able and capable body Of men, who
reflected credit on their communities. Such
men as Is. ~. bruce, Hyram heVeil, Johh
Mercer Langston, John R Lynch and George
II. White were types of negro representa-
tives who were distinct honor to their coun-
try Then came another scene, revolving dis
gushing, irritating and inhammable. Here
was big colored man, with a beastlike ex-
preston chasing little girl to her death.
looked on this picture and wondered what
would be the impression of the white people
of the audience of the moral status of the
negro. | then thought of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and her
description Of the many beautiful traits of the
negro slaves, and wondered which account !
was to believe. The whole play is designed
to stir up race prejudice. left the theatre
wondering what point could be made in dis
torting facts. CLEVELAND G.. ALLEN.

The Wreckage at Albany.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune deserves great credit for
the independent and progressive position it
takes in politics. Yesterdays editorial, "The
Wreckage at Albany" was fearless denun-
citation Of Albanian asininity. The amend
ments to the workmen's compensation law
end the cannery bills have aroused in every
good citizen a feeling of dsmay. II seems
as if many of the legislators are blind with
party feeling. They rip things up, regard
less of public opinion. They run amuck like
a bunch Of wild men.
As evidence Of further step OF their
awry legislation, it is proposed to transfer
the work of the Department OF Weights and
Measures 10 the Department of Agriculture
The good work the department has done
speaks for itself. The little money il cost
TO maintain IT is powerful argument for its
continued existence. At so early a stage the
Legislature has created bad impression Il
reeds TO turn over a new leaf in quick order.
unless il wants what is now smouldering
criticism to turn into fame Of wholesale
condemnation.

All these bills, save that abolishing the
coroners' Offices, were unanimously ap-
proved by the Board of Estimate and APP
portionment They affect no community
save New York City, and they are greatly
needed here, because they will assure pet-
ter and cheaper municipal government IN
MANY ways. There has been manifest at
Albany recently some concern over the
emphatic protest of the voters OF the
metropolis and their official representa-
tives against the shabby treatment New
York has received so far at the hands Oh
the legislators. If the legislative leaders
really want to convince people here that
they desire to give New York square
deal let them adopt this legislative pro-
gramme, which comes to them, duly ac-
credited. from the city authorities.

The City's Legislative Programme.

There are in one or the other house Of
the Legislature, not finally acted upon,
several bills essential TO the orderly and
economical conduct of the business of New
York City. These measures include:
A trade waste" bill-intended to per-
nit the city TO collect ashes, garbage or
other refuse from manufacturing estab-
hshments at proper charge, as 1t now
collects ashes and refuse from households
and small concerns for nothing.
A Commissioners Of Accounts bill-mak-
ing this bureau a single-headed affair, with
u couple of deputies, instead Of an anoma-
lous uble-headed Office.
A markets bill-consolidating in a de-
partment under the Mayor the functions
now exercised under the Controller and
the Borough President in regard to the
construction, maintenance, supervision and
control of public markets.
Excess condemnation bills-meeting the
condemnation graft" by permitting this
city to take advantage Of the constltu-
uonal amendment authOriZlng excess con-
demnation and the conduct of condemna-
ton proceedings before Supreme Court
justice with or without a jury.
A small Education Board bill-not the
original bill for board of nine members,
but for one Of twenty compromise
which gives, not small board as that ex-
preston is understood. but a smaller board
than now afflicts the city.
The Coroners' bill-establishing a medi-
cal examiner system Of inquiring into sus-
ricious deaths and abolishing the present
coroners at the end of their term.
A "home rule" bill as to salaries-giv-
ing to the Board Of Estimate and the
Board of Aldermen jurisdiction oyer all

mt the Kaiser on the defensive on the
whole eastern front. 1t might lead to
the eventual evacuation of East Prussia
II the pressure Of the allied armies IN
France and Belgium made fresh demands
for reinforcements.
Precisely as long as the Austrians can
hold the Russians on the line of the Car
pathians the country offers the defenders
all conceivable advantages. But TO judge
from recent reports the Russians are
slowly acknowledging their way to the
plain. Once this is reached, with three
railroads and a national highway at their
backs and a level plain hundred miles
broad on their front, the Russians can
deploy their masses and resume the tao
tics which won for them in Galicia in
August and September of last year.
For the observer the real test Of Rus
sian progress must be the occupation by
the troops of the Car of Bartfeld,
Ungvar and Munkacs, the towns at the
foot of the Carpathians and on the shore
of the Hungarian plain. Once these
towns have fallen, Russian success in the
Battle of the Carpathians cannot longer
be denied.
The key of the whole operation is the
Dukla, the narrow, Panama-like isthmus
between the Galician and the Hungarian
plains. Here the Russians seem to be
putting in their main effort, here they are
meeting with their most conspicuous sue
cess. All other operations are subsidiary
to this main thrust through the shortest,
lowest and least difficult of the passes.

Politics in New York.

From the Chicago Evening Post
1T is a fact as ex-senator Burton said the
other night. that the current has set TOWARD
the Republicans and that there is every pros
pect that a Republican will defeat Woodrow
Wilson next year"
So says The New York Tribune in an effort
20 concede Republicansm everything that 1t
can claim and yet warn il that it is now
throwing away its chance TO attain the prize
that is seemingly within its grasp.
The Tribune speaks upon one OF the most
extraordinary happenings that the troubled
and disgraceful record Of tate legislatures
has ever brought forth. After a visit TO Al
bany made by Messrs Elihu Root and Will
lam Barnes, jr., the Republicans in the Leg
stature by unanimous vote Of the caucus in
each chamber turned over to one man, SEN
ator Elon R. Brown, control Of all legislation
Tor the session. As the Republicans have
over two-thirds Of each house this means
that Brown can put through anything over
Governor Whitman's veto. The New York
Times" speaks Of him as absolute dictator"
Whitman was utterly disregarded in the ar
rangement, Browns programme even leaving
out the one legislative measure which the
Governor has favored.
Is Whitman to take this smashing aFront
sitting down? Is the man thought to be
Of Presidential size big enough to meet this
crisis? This is the national aspect Of the
situation in New York.

NEW YORK. THE LANDOWNER
Its Fat Acres SO Valuable They Should
Be Taxed.
rn tho Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Corporation Counsel Folks letter, pub
lishe1 n The Tribune, entitled "Robbing New
York City," if unanswered, is certainly most
convincing argument in favor Of the legis-
lation which he desires.
| live in the town of Carmel Putnam County,
where one of Mr.. Folks cited examples of
discrimination against the city has occurred.
| shall assume that Mr.. Folks figures are
correct. He says:
an the town Of Carmel, Putnam County,
the city's land was taxed at $3.50 an acre.
The remainder of the town was assessed at
S97 an acre" In other words, the average
acre of the city's land was assessed at three
times the average acre of the remaining land
in the town.
These figures are condemnng, but this is
The answer: The City of New York owns al
most every fertile acre in the town; the city s
watershed covers every fertile valley; the
land that is left is the rocky upland. From
general farming the town has been driven BY
the city to dairy farming almost exclusively,
and the farmers have to buy all their feed
because feed cannot be raised on the rocky
upland; it is good only for summer pasture
IOr COWS, ana IL Is pOOA db ti.aNs VI AoAiAAAi =
purposes-and that is the basis of the taxa
tion-every acre of the city's land is worth
many times the upland owned by individuals.
1t is surprising that the difference is not
more than three to one.
The trouble with the City Of New York and
it's watershed-at least in Putnam County
is that it owns too much land. Hundreds Of
valuable acres could now be sold They may
have served purpose some time but they do
not now The city could make profit out OF
them now and stop all taxes.
The city could also sell water to the ad-
Joining owners-somethin it will not do
and increase its income. It could also treat
the residents with more courtesy and con-
sideration, which would not do it any harm
in the eyes Of the assessors. And | would
not be surprised if a small amount OF judi
cious investigation would show many ways
in which the city could save more money
right in its watershed than it would gain by
the lower taxes which it desires.

Sing Sings End.

II should he matter Of qualification To
the entire state that after years OF be-
ginning and stopping, of backing and NIL
ing, of argument and entreaty, the author
tiles at Albany have finally decided TO
abandon Sing Sing. Instead Of appropr-
ating 100000 for a new cell block at that
place of horrors, the Governor and the leg
islative leaders have agreed on an appro-
priation of that amount TO begin substi-
tute for Sing Sing at the Wingdale site
purchased some years ago.
This is exactly what should have been
done, yet what only a short time ago
seemed hopeless. No amount of money
spent on new buildings or repair Of old
ones at Sing Sing can ever make that IN
stitution anything but an inadequate, dis
ease breeding, old style jail. Broad gauge,
intelligent work such as Warden Osborne
is doing there can help the prisoners some
what but it cannot overcome the physical
limitations of the place, nor can such
efforts reach their greatest
efficacy in such surroundings New York
States ideas and its public conscience have
passed beyond the Sing Sing stage Of
penology. 1t is only fitting that the old
prison, the outward and visible sign Of the
old era, should give place to a modern in
dustrial prison expressing all the hope
which the new methods of handling Grim
mails hold out TO the public.
