Moundville, W. Va, has reduced its

$500. This floating indebtedness
was piled up several years ago while
the city had a big income from saloon

Now that the city has lost the saloon

Destroying the Mosquito.

The way to destroy the mosquito In
its larval stage is to pour a little ker
osene on the surface OF the pool or
stream inhabited by the industrious
wiggler. The oil shuts out the sup
ply of oxygen from the water be-
meath. The wiggler rises tail first to
the surface and tries to force his
breathing tube through the thin layer
of oil. He fails and promptly dies
from suffocation-a suitable deatL for
so fratricidal an insect.

Germany and the Munitions Traffic.

According TO wireless dispatches from Berlin
many of the newspapers there are using semi
official statement just issued through the North
German Gazette Ia government organ) as
basis for challenging this country's observance OF
the laws Of neutrality. The statement dealt with
the sale Of munitions OF war TO the allied powers
by citizens of the United States. The German
government is reported TO have admitted that
"the prevailing principles of international law
do not enttle Germany TO oppose the supplying
of war material 10 her enemies by neutral private
persons"
No other view could possibly he taken by gov
ernment acquainted with the precedents and mind
full Of its own past interpretations of the rules of
neutrality Yet the North German Gazette" al
lows itself TO say that American trade in
terial with England and France "has assumed
such dimensions as to jeopardize the neutrality
not only of the American government, but, in
deed. of the American nation
II is hard TO take this statement seriously. 1t
rests on the fantastic assumption that the legiti
macy or illegitmacy of trade in war materials
depends on the volume of that trade. Moreover,
a belligerent not concerned in the trade under
takes TO draw the line between legitimacy and
illegtimacy. No principle of international law
is more firmly established than the one which
permits the citizens or subjects of neutral ma
tons to sell arms ammunition and supplies TO
belligerents. The only limitation on the traffic
is the power of any belligerent 70 interrupt and
seize shipments destined for the enemy. In the
Russo-J japanese War and in the Balkan wars Ger
man subjects sold munitions and supplies to bel
ligerents. The German government did not re-
s.rair tbep, on the ground that they were COM
hitting an unneutral act, and never dreamed of
doing so.
The German government knows that the atu-
tude of this government in tolcrating sales OF war
munitions by its citizens is absolutely correct

To Divorce Road Building from Politics.

Governor Whitman's demand for the resigna
ton of John n. Carlisle Highway Commissioner,
will doubtless provoke another chorus of accuse
tions of partisanship. 1t should not. Mr.. Carlisle
is one of the least Objectionable Of the Democratic
officeholders of the last regime He is personally
honest beyond a peradventure, but his record in
this Office unfortunately, is not beyond reproach.
His retention there is undesirable, not because of
what he has done, but of what he has not done.
James W. Osborne. Democrat, who last year re-
ported to Governor Glynn the results of his in
vestigation of the Highway Department, said:
The present Highway Commissioner. John y.
Carlisle, is political appointee. His subordnstes
are political appointees where his power is not cir
cumscribed By civil service regulations. The erecu-
tive officers are political appointees. The superin-
tendents Of highways of each particular district are
political appontees. The consequence is that II eacn
one Of these officers is TO be useful 10 the politicians
who caused his appointment he must employ as
many persons as possible, a. the highest possible
wages | find that the payrolls OF the department
are uselessly padded. J ind that the employees OF
the department have been compelled TO pay contrbu-
tions to political parties.
That indictment still stands. So long as such
conditions exist, reform and economy in the High
way Department are impossible. Mr.. Carlisle
has done his best, but he has not produced the
desired reform. Governor Whitman is entirely
justified in seeking an opportunity to reorganize
the department so that roads may be built free
from politics. with its drains inside the depart
ment and graft outside.

"Drumhead Judges" To Re Drummed

For Federal Employment Exchange

Testfyiug the other day before the Federal
Commission on Industrial Relations, Mr.. Jacob
n. Schif expressed interesting and significant
views on the value Of employment bureaus IN the
present unemployment situation Only the federal
government. he said. could coordinate work and
the worker. No private labor exchange honestly
conducted had been success 10 his knowledge,
FOR it cost too much money 20 get the information
about work and workers. This should be the
governments function.
II is certain that no privately conducted labor
bureau can have very wide range. They are IN
business for profit and cannot be expected TO be
of service in an unemployment situation such as
that existing this winter, when there are no jobs

bureaus themselves have somewhat the same han
dlcap. Backed by public funds, they will be able
in time 70 build up experience and records and
sources of information regarding labor conditions
which will prove valuable Yet at best their work
will be partial and incomplete unless they can CO.

covers the entire country in the same thorough
fashion in which the New York State Employ
ment Bureau is beginning its service. Commits

THE SALOONS IN OUR TOWN
What the Church Gives and What the

Sir: Interesting item in to-dsy's

ioy all-night licenses do not want

In this 35th Police Precinct we do

not asked for. Like some restaurants

up signs such as Never closed. BUY

know they are open FOR business all

Here are some interesting hgures
which might be applied to the PROB
lens Of crime, poverty and unemploy-
ment:
The 35th Police Precinct is bounded
by 10th st. and 96th St. Fifth sv. and
the East River By actual count We
have III saloons, leaving out breweries'
wholesale liquor stores and groceries
This church doles out from $1,000 70
$500 a year TO the poor IN groceries,

The III saloons take in, according 70
size and location. some s25. some 500,
some SIS, some 500 and others more

s62 so day for each saloon. this
would give the sum Of sll,062 90 day

NO EARTHQUAKE FUND
The Report That the Pope Had Re-
ceiyed a large Sum for Relief Denied.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago The Tribune
announced from Rome that the Pope
had been made the recipient OF fund
of 100000 lire ts4,0OO,0Oo) for the
earthquake sufferers. The statement
seemed so extravagant that we caDled
10 Rome for information as 20 is truth.
We have Just received rord from the
Cardinal Secretary OF State that there
is absolutely 10 foundation 70 the re-
port.
We would appreciate very much the
publication OF this communication IN
your columns. as reports Of similar
content find their way, from time 10
time. into the press for the manifest
purpose, e would seem. Of impresslng
the general public with ideas OF the
vast and unlimited wealth OF the Pope.
The fact of the matter Is that the
resources OF the Vatican available for
the administration OF the government
OF the Church are extremely modest
ard ordinary, since the Holy Father
depends. in no small measure. on the
voluntary offerings OF devoted flock
spread throughout Christendom and
not overburdened, as a general. rule,

THE QUALITY OF PEACE
That Which Flows from a Sphinx-Like
Neutrality Meets Criticism.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: From the outbreak of the war
until January the American people
had dared to believe that. in spite Of
President Wilson's sphinxlike neutral
ity, he had heart afre with the
sacred rights of man, and filled with
pity. at least for that little country,
(which as Mr.. Beck says, has been
crucified before all the world"
To our horror, it was revealed to Us
in his speech at indianapolis that he
can have no heart at ALT has fallen
z victim to the canker of political self
ishness.
What a toboggan-like descent was
that speech, alas, into the realms of
the petty demagogue. He claims in It
"a high emotion of public service "a
reckless enthusiasm for human lib
erty," and then, in almost the same
breath, consigns 70 the devi. those
nations now fighting for that very
liberty. Look abroad upon the trou-
bled world he says; "only America
at peace! Only America saving her
power for her own peoplel'
What near-si GIFTED, ill-timed self
congratulation!
Yes, We remain at peace peace of
body, But what about peace Of soul
How can there be any peace of SOU!
fo- rs these days when We Gnd our
selves missing in the ring OF those
who are struggling for the things II
this life that really count justice,
honor, freedom? How can there be
any peace Of soul for US when we
passivcly watch a whole country wiped
out. and It's people wanderers and
penniless on the earth? How can
there be any peace of soul for US
when We look on without protest as
history is being blackened by the de-
struction OF heritage o.! architecture
no time can ever replace? How can
there be any peace Of soul for US
when We know that other nations are
bearing all the suffering for bless
ings which, alike with them, we hope
10 reap?
Whatever pardonable provincialism
or ignorance excused IN the beginning,
errors in judgment about the war, u
was not long before the awful blame
for il all. slowly but exceedingly sure
ly. shifted to the shoulders Of that
nation which should bear II. until who
would now wish TO carry the yoke OF
her moral ISOLATION?
With the fixing OF the blame there
has arisen in every ones heart spirit
Of righteous indignation that would
answer 20 a nobler call than politics
and commercialism.
Backed by the force OF It, true
statesman, walking in the light OF the
single eye, might dare TO throw down
the glove to that guilty people, stained
with the blood Of an innocent friend
and thereby show that a nation, no
less than an individual, IS created
with a heart and soul.
Who can say but that such an act
might not hasten the end? Who can
say but that il might not foreshadow
the birth of an international golden
rule" leading at last to that unity

Wipe Out irresponsible Official Gun
men!

The arrest OF thirty-two deputy sherfs pre-
naratorv TO their trial for murder because OF the
death Of two strikers shot down at Roosevelt is
beginning of the vindicaton Of New Jersey.
Their trial will unquestionaby DO much TO settle
the question whether any private interest may
hire and arm gang Of men and turn them loose
20 shoot up members of any class in the com
nunitv under guise of keeping the peace and pro-
tectinq property. There could not possibly be a
better example of the working of the present sys-
tenn of policing labor troubles by hiring private
Guards than the attack on unarmed peaceful
strikers for which these deputies are now lodged
in Jail. In them the whole system of official
gunner" will be on trial promptly by the courts.
Judgment against the men TO be tried IN this
case would not however. settle the entire ques-
ton. Governor Fielder recognizes that fact when
he advocates the creation Of state constabulary
similar to Pennsylvania for use in such emer-
gencies The police power is the states. 1t has
no right TO farm it out to private concerns. That
means oppression and injustice. at best at worst,
exactly what happened at Roosevelt New Jersey
contributed to that lamentabe occurrence New
Jersey will be indicated when justice is done for
the killing of the two strikers and when adequate
legislation is enacted to make impossible in future
the modifying of irresponsible, privately hired
companies of official gunner.
