A Common Objective.
of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter Of the Christian Science
committee on publication for the State Of
New York and The Tribune editorial COM
menting thereon, appearing in your issue Of
April l, are Of great interest not only to
Christian Scientists but to all those who
are interested in the larger subject Of the
public health. There seems to be one side
OF this interesting question which is some
times lost sight of, and perhaps you may
permit me to speak of it in your columns. I
mean the great longing on the part of those
who are suffering to get we'll in the quickest
and most complete manner.
No one could doubt when reviewing the
history Of the medical profession the purity
Of motive and selfessness with which the
medical profession has striven to fulfil this
desire. Is it not perhaps overlooked that
those who profess Christian Science are
equally earnest and equally honest in
their endeavors to that end? The Thorn

Still a Menace.

Though it has been AMENDED IN various
respects since il was first introduced, the
Lockwood Ellenbogen bill, which has now
been sent to Governor Whitman, is no bet
ter for the public interest than 1t was
ORIGINALLY. II still is a menace to various
important city departments, notably the
Tenement House Department and the bu-
reau Of Fire Prevention. Its passage can
no more be justified now than it could have
been before the amendments were devised.
The duplication of real estate inspection
with contradictory orders issued by this
department and that, is obviously unde-
sirable. 1t is an annoyance to property
owners. Nevertheless, it is no such evil
and affects no such great number OF peo-
ple that the government of the City OF
New York should be ripped to pieces in an
effort to cure it. At its worst-at the
greatest imaginable degree of operation OF
this unfortunate system Of inspection-it
creates a nuisance bearing hard on COM
paratively small number of the entire pop
ulation of the city; it means an unJustifed
expenditure of money in very small pro-
portion of cases. That should not be, and
there should be steps taken to have the
operation of the governmental machine As
lust in this respect as in others. But in
order to do justice to few great injustice
should not be done to many.
Enactment of the Lockwood Ellenbogen
bill, even in its less vicious form, would be
an act of injustice to many. Every tene'
ment dweller would be deprived Of some
of the protection from the Tenement
House Department which now exists. Fac
tory workers would be deprived Of some
of the protection which the Fire Proven
ton Bureaus present powers and duties
give. They would have a right to feel that
their health and life had been considered
to be less important than the property and
dollars of real estate owners. And the
entire city would have right to feel that
Albany had meddled unjustly and arbi
trarily with q problem the solution of
which is particularly the city's own affair.
Approval of this bill would give evil
dence of desire to serve the few at tEE
expense of the vast body of the people
an indictment already brought with too
much circumstance and detail against the
Republican party and its lawmakers.

Idle Fleets and Their Critics.

owe leave all talk Of the cowardice of
the English feet to the irresponsible"
said Captain Persius two months ago, and
he supposed that by then his countrymen
-"even the strategists in mufti," as he
put Misunderstood that decisive blows
were not to be expected for some time to
come. Yet an officer Of the Eitel Friedrich
was lately clustering just like Reventlow
or Ridder: "The great British navy has
done nothing in this war. 1t talks much
but does nothing. 1t keeps seventy miles
away from the German coast. If
everything in this war was reversed
mean positions and conditions-we would
have gone into KEEL" ct ceterd.
He was arguing that his ship would
have had nothing to fear against odds,
had she to put to sea, and doubtless
he used the orgument,Im ad ignOrOtiam,
knowing well enough himself how eff
fectively the enemy had secured tenn,
porary command Of the sea. In this
he followed an example set by his bet
ters on several occasions. Thus Grand
Admiral Won Roster, Boosting of the
famous attack on the hotels and bathing
boxes Of Scarborough, contrasted the dar-
ing of German naval officers with the eau
ton and timidity of the English. at
almost looks" he said, "as if the spirit Of
this race of shopkeepers had penetrated
into the navy; as if British sailors were
fighting not so much for honor and glory
as for purely material advantages" But
even he did not pretend to think that in
material advantage they had gained moth
ing, nor did he fail to caution his audience
against hoping for a great battle, "for we
know" he observed, that the naval battle
means death or victory, and that once a
fleet has been destroyed it can never be
renewed during the course OF the war"
There have been several occasional
speeches of this kind, always supple
mented with the same warning. They are
evidently designed, like the raid on the
east coast Of England, to re-establish the
confidence of the public in the navy, which
has cost so much and done so little since
the war began. That 1t has done so little
is a consequence of its manifest inferiority
in strength and not of any want of daring
in its officers, but it is necessary from time
to time to remind the public Of the con-
ditions, and a little highhown talk is al
lowable on these occasions. Some enthu-
siasts, such as the ridiculous Count Revent-
low, run to excess in this way. Count
Reventlow's writings, as a critic once re-
marked are like the whistling of boy
as he hurries through a graveyard in the
dark. Sober naval men in Germany are,
however, well aware that the enemy's
fleets have served their purpose so far.

The Treasury and the Riggs Bank.

1t is, on the whole, fortunate that the
courts have been appealed to to decide
whether or not the Secretary of the Treas
ury and the Controller of the Currency
have been using their power to discipline
national banks with impartiality and fair
ness. The Riggs National Bank, of Wash
ington, charges that personal enmities and
grievances have influenced Mr.. McAdoo and
Mr.. Williams in the administration Of the
law so far as that particular institution is
concerned. The public interest requires
that such charge shall be met and dis
proved, since next TO total disregard Of
law there can be no worse form of malad-
ministration than its unequal enforcement,
either in a spirit Of favoritism or for the
purpose of satisfying personal grudges.
The charges and countercharges filed in
Washington arc now before the courts, and
it would not be proper TO comment on
them. But in view of repeated com
plants that certain banks have been sin
gled out for specially harsh treatment by
Mr.. McAdoo and Mr.. Williams a thorough
ventilation of the Treasury's policy is
highly desirable. After the merger of the
United States Trust Company and the
hlunsey Trust Company in Washington,
year ago, an investigation was ordered by
he United States Senate. But the wit,
nesses called threw little light on what

The Thirteenth Labor Of Hercules.

There Is every disposition to wish the
indefatigable jeff Davis we'll with his
back -to-the-soil movement. Misgivings,
however, cannot be denied, considering the
nature of his material, both human and
geological. Among the ten ginks, for ex-
ample, whom jeff has abandoned for two
days with a bushel of clans on the farm
at Riverhead only one, apparently, can
qualify as an agricultural gink." And
so far his chief contribution to the prog
ress Of the colony has been the discovery
that three feet under the Long Island sand
indigenous to the farm there lies fertile
layer of earth capable of intensive cult
walton.
But jeff knows no encouragement. "He
tells me-" says Jeff, "that in Europe they
clear off the top layer, fertilize the good
soil an get fine farm. Well do that,
too, if we have to. Let me tell you there's
none O. them Europeans got anythin on
those boys"
Surely that is the right spirit if one
would make farmers out of non-agricult,
ural ginks and dig q farm out of sand
dunes. And provided jeff and his loyal
followers carry out this interesting pro-
gramme we can all agree with their leader
that no Europeans-no, nor Americans,
nor Martians-have anything on those
boys. Their record will forever remain
the high water mark of pioneer achieve

ZEREGA and BERNARD
IN finish match
Local Heavyweight Wrestler to Meet
Italian Demon at Majestic Thea
ter. Wednesday.

Because of the big demand by the local
followers of the graphing game. Man
ager Murphy of the Majestic Theater,
signed Frank Zerega, the local heavy
weight wrestler. to meet Tony Bernard.
that whirlwind middle-weight Italian who
is claiming this city rs his home. in a
finish affair at catch-as-catch-can style.
Two weeks ago, in a fifteen-minute
bout at the theater. these grapplers put
up a great exhibition and showed enough
talent and equal ability to warrant a
return match. An old grudge has been
standing between these boys for the past
three years. and, although Zerega has
become a little heavy for Bernard, the
Italian grappler is willing to stack his
years against the strength of Zerega-
In the bout with Montana last We'd
nesday night Bernard showed enough
endurance to mark him among the best
in the business. and a victory over
Zerega will put him in line to meet the
best men in the country.
The winner of this match will be booked
to meet Bull Montana in a finish AFFAIR
at the catch-as-catCh-can style. and it is
hoped that there will be no interference
from the police.

sure of witnessing one of the best bouts
yet staged in the District.
