From a Passionate Patriot.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR Your leader to-day, "Vice Ia France!"
has touched to the shedding Of tears the eyes
OF this septuagenarian.
The truth and tenderness which, with the
eloquence of sincerity, you have used in your
tribute TO the unequalled qualities of La
Belle France and all she stands for merit
everything Of commentator ! can feel or
say.
Though mine eyes are dimmed by the no
blity Of those sentiments, at the next
moment am racked with bitter shame that
my much loved America has fallen so in
hnitely below the loftiness of France. But
TO coming historian of these days of the
exaltation of France and the abasement of
America can more wildly and justly describe
their contrasting positions than you have
done.
To those Of Us who are passionate patriots
the editorials Of The Tribune have been
sloriously helpful and consoling, great
light Of courage shining over a sordid land
cursed by the adorers of the golden calf of
towards who have forgotten the maniness
Of their forefathers.
Pray reprint the article give la France!"
and also some of its equally inspired prede-
cessors. j. c. c.

"VIVE LA FRANCEr'
Why That Republics Plight Has Awsk-
ened Sympathy Here.
, the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | want 10 thank you from my heart
70. the editorial in to-dsy's Tribune, "Nive
la France!" whose noble spirit finds such
beautiful expression. You say: There IS
one thing uppermost in the hearts OF many
Americans. one thing they wish that the
French could understand. and that is how
wide and deep is the love and admiration
of Americans for France" | cannot think
of better way to convey this understanding
to the French people than by the reprint
ing of this editorial in a leading Partisan
journal.
Ny own "love and admiration" do not
spring from any personal relations with the
French which might prejudice me in their
favor have no French blood nor any
friends or acquaintance among that gen
erous and high soued people, but am fairly
well read in their history and their literature
and think know them. All who have this
knowledge must have resented with indigna-
ton the shallow and foolish misjudgment
Of the French which has been too widely
prevalent among US and which the display
of the real national character in this war has
so signally refuted.
Some will have it, however, that the great
qualities of patient courage, steadfastness
and self-devotion which have surprised them
are a creation of the war This, they say, is
France regenerate and born anew in the
baptism of fire. But such a sudden change
the change of moment it must have been
would be a miracle, and miracles of this
kind intelligent people are convinced do not
happen A nation frivolous morally weak,
decadent, would have collapsed and fallen
to pieces az the shock OF the furious Ger
man onslaught. No, it is the old France of
glorious past that is now revealed TO the
world.
Let me take this opportunity of thanking
you also for printing in the same issue the
ringing letter of Richard NJ. Hurd, one
of the best of the many brilliant and power
full letters which have appeared in The Trib-
urc. +. a. HENRY.

Miss Davis's New Duty.

Mayor Mitcheps appointment OF MISS
Davis to be the head Of the new Parole
Commission is an excellent one. She de-
serves all the good things the Mayor SAID
of her in announcing it, Without having
been lawless, her work as head OF the De-
partment of Correction has been fine
continuation of the excellent service she
gave as superintendent Of the Bedford Re-
formatory She has brought the citys
penal institutions to stage OF modernlty
in theory and practice hitherto unattained'
and the public is the gamer thereby.
In this new work Miss Davis's expert
ence will be invaluable. 1t is really an ex-
tension of the city work she has been
doing. To large extent she will be a
pioneer, for though the parole principle is
70 new thing, the application of it to the
inmates of the penal institutions Of great
city is new and will have many practical
difficulties. Out of this experiment great
good should come-good for the indi-
v;duals concerned and good for the COM
runity Miss Davis may be trusted to go
about the work ympathetically-no with
q mawkish sentimentality, but with the
broad humanitarian spirit in which such
task must be approached if it is to have
any chance Of success.

American Feeling Swelling.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | wish to thank you for the splendid
editorial "Vive la France!" in to-day's issue
and especially for that paragraph which
quote, because it expresses so perfectly,
believe, the feeling that is swelling in the
hearts of true Americans to-day:
ain our own suffering and our own humil-
ation there is nothing that Americans are
more anxious that the French should under
stand than that the American thing that to-
day seems incomprehensible to the millions
of French who have loved America and be-
leved in her Is not the true America.
"Mr. Wilson is no more the prophet OF the
true America than was Caillaux the genuine
expression of France We shall repudiate
Mr.. Wilson and all his works as completely
as France repudiated Caillaux, and for the
same reason"
doubly thank you for this paragraph.

The Issue at Sing Sing.
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
/ Sir: Every one interested in prison reform
must feel at the present time that through
the indictment of Warden Osborne not only
is his reputation at stake, but the whole
we are TO be guided in this movement BY
politicians, who. totally unfit to Judge con-
ditions, make others walk the plank 70
further their own ambitions then, indeed, j.
the new ponology I'm a bad way.
If men of the type Of Or. Diedling are 70
have their words taken as verify against the
results already shown in Sing Sing. then m
deed, is Warden Osborne and the whole
future of prison reform in grave peril
Some time ago before a board OF the
Prison Council, composed Of men OF the
highest type Of citizens and that day
honored by Bishop Greer, heard Mr.. os-
borne offer his resignation if the movement
could be furthered in any way by his re-
moval.
The council answered through Mr. stetson
that the resignation of Warden Osoorhe
would decapitate the movement and that u
was bigger than any personal issue. IL our
prisoners are TO have chance 20 show the
man in them, II they are to be allowed to re.
gain a right 10 live in the world as deeeh,
citizens, certainly their physical and mora
welfare is as important factor as enough
bread to fiji their stomachs. With the ma
jority Of men sentenced TO Sing sing tn'
terms are not over five years. Is It not 'ne
states business that these men shall have
improved and not deteriorated, when they are
released, to cooperate as human beings again
in the world?
1t is for US to decide IL prison reform 10 20
have a chance, or, through the same oio
issues of personal enmity and political AM
billions, is to be buried alive before 1t ns'
had time TO mature?
yhis is the real issue. and If Mr.. Osoorn.

Our Reputation In Scandinavia.

We hesitate to think what the average
Scandinavian opinion Of America and
Americans must be. There is every indi-
cation from the narratives appearing in
Stockholm papers involving the Ford
party that nothing is too extravagant to
believe about those Americans, at least
The inclusion in the party Of representa-
tives of munition makers TO stir up strife
the attempted coercion Of Mr.. Ford at the
revolver's muzzle-these are samples Of
the reports that seem to find ready ac-
ceptance among the Swedes.
And why not?. That interesting halftone
printed in our own papers the other day
of the Rev. DR.. Aked clearing with scant
margin the venerable dome Of the Rev.
Mr.. Jones in the ancient sport of leap
frog-that racy snapshot of ecclesiastics
eambolling on their way 10 drum the boys
out Of the trenches by Christmas-is suf-
Gcient answer. The entire junket has
proved simply an extravaganza.
But as if to strengthen and solidify the
flattering reputation which our fellow
cOuntrymen are spreading for US, DR.. Cook
has taken this opportunity TO pay Copen-
hagen a return visit. Poor old Copen-
hagen, whose good people, from King to
pauper, accepted this compatriot Of ours
al his face value and feted him and deco
rated him and clasped him TO their inno-
cent bosoms such few short years ago!
II must regard his temperance at this
psychological moment as in the nature OF

That is a strange accusation which "The

America is not without some defenders in

assertion. There is no doubt TO the dis

ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: After having read your editorial give
la Frsnce!" in to-days paper | must admit
that you have my sympathy. For all your
rawlings over heroic" noble" France, which,
by the way, is the most morally rotten nation
on the face OF the earth, it will take more
than the pen Of The Tribunes editor to drive
the Germans out OF France. not to speak about
driving them out Of their own dear Alssce-
Lorraine. That's mans job. France has
only boys left The men fell while fighting
for revenge" The war of attrition," as
JofFre calls it. has bled France white. Here is
hoping that the Kaiser and his noble war
riors must now and forever crush whatever is
left of Frances thirst for something which
does not belong TO her-Alsace- Lorraine.

Up to the Governor.

Indictments have been returned against
the owners Of the building in which the
disastrous Williamsburg factory fire oc-
CURED and against the proprietors of the
establishment whose employees were killed;
but that does not end the responsibility
for the loss of life. AS a result Of the
coroner's inquest the fact stood out, clear
and unmistakable, that the law was not
enforced.
Two minor employees of the Industrial
that does not end the responsibility. The
men higher up should be sought, and a
committee representing the Committee on
Safety, the national, state and city Con-
sumers' Leagues, the Child Labor Commit
tee and the Association of Neighborhood
Workers has no hesitancy in naming
them. In formal communication to Gov
ernor Whitman this committee has de-
manded that Commissioners Lynch, Wizard
and Lyon be not retained in office, and has
suggested the easiest way to remove them
to refuse to submit their names for
confirmation by the Senate for the places
they now hold.
The basis for this demand is found in
their own testimony in the inquest where
District Attorney Cropsey was the exam
iner. Commissioner Lynch for more than
two years had held office which involved
familiarity with the enforcement of the
labor laws; Commissioner Lyon for five
raonths had been head of the Legal Bu-
reau charged with the duty of prosecuting
violations of those laws, and Commits
sioner Wizard, for several months before
this fire head of the Industrial Code Blu
reau, showed that for four months he
was ignorant of conflict between the
purpose of the law and rule of the COM
mission, and for about month thereafter
failed to bring this, causing a block in
the enforcement Of The law, to the atten-
ten of his fellow commissioners. Such
conduct is neglect of duty-"gross neg
lect," this committee terms it in its com
munication to the Governor.
New York State has an elaborate code
of factory laws designed to provide safe
working conditions for the 100000
workers who come under the care of the
State Industrial Commission. Those laws
are mere scrap of paper if they are not
enforced Enforcement does not mean an
incomplete and partial enforcement, such
as the evidence so far presented to the
rublic shows to exist. 1t means thor
cugh-going compliance with the spirit of
the laws, or, lacking that. strong, decided
effort by the proper officials to bring
about such compliance.
There are, probably, faults in the laws,
but the chief fault is in their enforcement,
and the fault there seems to get down to
specific shortcomings in the personnel of
the commission. The issue lies squarely
with Governor Whitman. Is he willing
to continue in office men whose own testi-
mony shows them TO have contributed, by
neglect or ignorance, to such a disaster
as the Diamond fire?
