said DR.. Johnson" And. finally, there
are those who write Of utterly unknown
beginners as if they were celebrities, with
the result that their work must be con
fded TO the waste-basket as unintelli-
gible alike to the literary editor and TO
the public.
An able publishers press agent is OF
genuine service not only TO his house, but
to literature as well; the stuff of the
others is as the cracking of thorns under
a pot. This incompetent stuff is often
unconsciously most amusing, or, at least
it would be if the literary editor, beyond
whom it never passes, were not so busy
One word in conclusion, however. The
publishers publicity man will do well to
take a leaf from the book of his theatri-
cal colleague, who never sends out por-
trait without writing its full identification
on the back The publisher, on the other
hand. still too often makes the mistake
of sending me meme Of the author and
of his book in a separate letter and then
mailing the portrait itself unmarked, with
he result that its identity becomes hard
10 establish. For the literary editor re-
~eivcs nowadays almost as many portraits
as doe h.s colleague Of the dramatic de-
per.~1ent.

A long step forward was made when Mr.
Daniels abolished liquor In the officers mess

Another step in the right direction was

Let the lines Of inquiry be truly national,

Salaries and Rent.
Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Knowing The Tribune to be deeply
Interested in the welfare of all classes, as
a civil employee write 20 protest against
the proposed reduction in salaries. First, II
is admitted that the purchasing power OF
the dollar is lower to-day than il was ten or
fifteen years ago, and therefore salaries are
lower than the figures indicate Second, the
millions OF dollars escaping yearly in the
form Of ground rent il taken by taxation
would more than supply the necessary
amount 10 pay for the public needs of the
people. Therefore say 10 the civil en-
ployes get together" and demand that the
ground rent now escaping from the people
be taxed into the city treasury, and all need
for reducing salaries will cease.

order was cheerfully accepted, whereupon
summonses were served upon TOUR per-

eryed, and the license holder. The man
ager was fined $50 for Supplying the beer

wholesale massacre and atrocities OF ne
most hideca, sort IT, Asia Minor, ard since
The Turk has made 10 Known that he
"w.u d.. tolerate outside interference
there has been some talk IN Washington
o. appealing 20 ,he German government
on behalf o. the unhappy Armenian VIC
tins n Turkish enthusiasm.
10 IS reasoned that AS Germany is H.
some sort responsible for Turkish conduct
friendly remonstrauccs TO the Kaiser
might possibly have some effect but there
are certain circumstances which the pro-
iectors Of this Indirect appeal seem 70
have overlooked No doubt the Turk Is
more or less under the influence of his
Christian ally; he may, indeed, be said
60 have proved q singularly apt pupil.
But for that very reason the task which
Il is proposed TO thrust upon the Kaiser
IS full of difficulties. To Judge the matter
;mpaltiauy. IL IS necessary TO consider
the Turks conception Of the problem, and
this has. Of course, been shaped largely
undcr German influence.
IL canuo: be questioned. TO Ocgin with.
that the Turkish government is very well
aware of the hardships endured by the
Armenians. If those IN control of affairs
were TO be questioned privately they would
IN all probability confess that their hearts
bed for their victims. The Turk has a
bad name among his neighbors, brt it
must be remembered that in recent years
he has enjoyed all the advantages Of Ger
man training and education, and there IS
no reason 70 doubt that his compassion
for the Armcniaus is quite IS genuine and
potent as the compassion Of the Germans
for their Belgian neighbors. But he has
learned his lesson well and knows that
tenderness is q weakness that must give
way before necessity.
The most that could reasonably be ex-
pected Of the Kaiser would be TO instruct
ms ally ia the art Of confession and avoid
ance. for if he were TO protest on the
bare score of humanity against the wrongs
rufered by the Armenians, the obvious
answer Of the Turk would be that he had
but followed the example Of the German
army in Belgium. in fact, he would be
abundanty justified in pointing out that
In the system Of Kultur example and
precept were hopelessly at odds. All that
Germany can do, therefore, is to give the
Turk hints in the business of shifting
responsibility, and there is not the least
ground for believing that such hints are
necessary.
1t is admitted by the warmest friends
Of the Armenians that some Of them pos
sessed arms; it is not denied, even by the
correspondent Of "The Times" Of London,
that many resisted the deportation order;
IN a word. it is clear that the Armenians
were as Indifferent 70 Turkish necessity as
were the Belgians TO German necessity,
and, accordingly, the Germans cannot be
expected to make much Of their fate. A
Turk who acted as spokesman for the
Turkish consulate in this city has put
the whole case neatly. Whatever suf-
ferings she Armenians are now enduring
h. says. "are due largely TO British in
trigue." 1t is just the case Of Belgium
over again. and the Turkish and German
hearts bleed in unison.

FRISCO Will HAVE
Big PUBLIC MARKET
City to Spend $1,750,000 on
Building to Save People
Money.

San Francisco, Cal, June 4.-Plans
have been completed for the build
ing in San Francisco of one of the
largest and most sanitary retail pro-
duce markets in the world. The
market will be located at Ell ghth and
Market streets, in the heart of the
business district, on $1,750,000
tract of land.
Hundreds of stalls will be built in
white tile. They will be rented to
farmers and butchers and orchard
proba bly, OF $50 month. 1t costs the
average grocer $3.50 a nonth to
bring his goods t? the people. The
difference will come in the price OF
the goods to the people.
The plan, as outlined by one of the
members of the syndicate, is to build
a structure 100 feet wide and $50
feet deep, the full depth of the
property. The place will be called
Central Park Market, and will form
one OF the features of the Civic Cen
ter district.

are feature OF. city life. In Seattle,
where produce is said to be from 20
to so per cent cheaper than in this
city, stall renters live as far away
as 400 miles, shipping fresh stuff
every day to the member of the fam1-
ly that sells at RETAIL
Eggs may come up from the pen
insula district every morning and
find their way fresh to the house
wife Vegetables may come in from
the Ocean shore district. The river
boats may unload in the channel
back of the market, where the haul
ing price will be considerably les
sened. i :
Meat, instead of being piled up in
bales for fingers and flies to get at
will be wrapped in oil paper, with
the weight stamped OH the outside
Vfgeta bles will be sprayed with ice
water. Everything. will be kept under
glass, Or in packages, where dirt and
dust cannot get in
Back OF all this vision of great
cheap market lies the will of Andrew
McGreery, who decreed that the
property could not be sold in parcels
by his heirs. In his life time he
had many offers to sell parts of the
land. But he held on and paid the
taxes and waited for the time to
come when it could be used as a
whole.
Since his death Several offers have
been made TO the heirs, but they in
volved a SO year lease and the Nc
Creery brothers did not want to lose
control of the property. They shar-
ed the ideas of their father about it.
Under this arrangement they retain
control of the property and at the
same time derive an income from it
in the rental of stalls and stores.
