To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: recent letter in your columns from
Mr. Guy Emerson, Eastern representative for
the Tariff Commission League, interests a
large number Of our thinking women.
Any effort to substitute methods Of tariff
making that will result in beneftng the
whole people, for the time worn and partisan
methods that have been, not for all people
in all sections of our country, but solely for
political expediency, will meet not only with
the approval but the earnest support o. the
women of the United States.
The upsetting of business conditions that
comes regularly with a Presidential cam
paign and the tariff tinkerng that ensues
when there is a change Of administration are
felt first and felt most keenly in the homes,
and therefore the home makers are ire
mendously interested in learning that there
is q solution of this vexed question and a
possibility Of having such readjustments OF
duties as changes in business conditions may
require from time to time made only on
the recommendation Of a permanent tariff
commission composed Of experts and cothe
with necessary power.
We have a belief, many of us, that we

methods of tariff making taken out Of poll
tics Conditions that are bound to be : re
suit of the war in Europe, that will cause the
world TO face an industrial crisis, make Il
most important that our country be ready
TO quickly adjust itself to meet the new
conditions. The homes of the country and
the women Of the country, feeling that 1t is
as necessary to prepare for peace as It is to
prepare for war. welcome the idea of 4
strong and efficient non-partisan tariff com
mission. II we can help in its establish
ment we shall be glad TO do So and arc
glad TO see the subject brought forward and
discussed, that we may all become enlight-
ened as TO the crying need for a change in
our tariff making methods.

HOW LoNGP
Query Of a Patriot Who Resents
Hyphenated Activities Here.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | read with interest the remarks
made by Admiral Pesry at the annual din
ner Of the Delta Kappa Epsilon.
His suggestion 70 the members 20 adopt
resolution indorsing the Swiss system
military education was an excellent one.
I note that the motion was made and sec
onded to have the resolution adopted, and
that one George Schaettler opposed the mo-
ton on the ground that 1t might be con-
strued as a slap at Germany
How terrible II would be for US 70 hurt
Germany's feelings, if by any possible
chance the adoption of the resolution could
be in any way so construed!
What has Germany done to us that we
should hurt her sensitive and delicate feel
ings! She has done nothing but murder our
citizens, destroy our factories and interfere
with the workings of our government.
Schaettler claims TO be an American to
the backbone. l don't think he has any
backbone, neither have the other members
Of the society to let the motion be with
drawn.
He acknowledges his German ancestry.
Is not that enough in itself TO pass the reso-
luton against his opposition?
How much longer will these arrogant and
conceited Germans be allowed 20 tell US
what we must do?
How much longer will the United States
government allow the Germans to have their
way in this country?
pity the Germans in this country Y we
should declare war on their country.

Hotel Rooms for Teachers.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir / notice that you make quite feat
ure OF advertising the hotels Of the city As
these hotels are mainly for transients and
most Of them are partly empty most Of the
time, wonder why they do not cater little
more to the permanent residents Of the city,
those who are merely boarding.
have in mind particularly the many teach
ers here a number of whom | know we'll.
who lead a miserable existence in some
gloomy dirty boarding house These are all
ladies of refinement, who would appreciate
clean, well kept, warm rooms such as all
reputable hotels have.
The freedom and business air Of hotel
would appeal to a teacher. She would not
be subjected to the ignorant, carping criti-
cism of fellow boarders as 80 many Of them
are in private boarding houses. Her at.
tendance at night lectures, classes. schools
and opera would excite no comment from
fellow boarders, nor would she have TO ar
range with a landlady about keeping the door
open.
But few teachers can afford 10 live at a
hotel. In spite of the weird things we some
times hear about Large salaries" l know
that the salaries of the majority of the
grade teachers are only large enough for
them TO live on in a meagre way, not at al,
in the way in which teacher should live
II has always been a mystery TO me why the
Board of Education does not do something
in the way Of decent housing for its many
teachers from out of town.
In reputable hotels certain number OF
rooms permanently for business women Of
refinement who would appreciate the com.
forts of hotel would be steady source of
income. The monthly rates, OF course, would
have to be very reasonable. n such hotel
would advertise their facilities in the schools
am sure they would meet with RESPONSE.

Some More Words?

Nothing Mr.. Wilson could say TO the
,stro-Hungarian Government on the sub
= of the Ancona would add in effect,
,atever the tone, to the force Of his com
nication addressed to the Imperial Ger
N Government on July q.
II Mr.. Wilson means what he has now
sand TO Austria, we'll and good. But If he
does mean it he cannot do less than give
equal emphasis to his message to Germany
There is no force in words alone. There
never has been and there never Will be.
There is no reason for an Austrian dis
avowal Of the Ancona crime which does not
make for a German disavowal of the Lusi-
tania massacre.
Mr.. Wilson has added one more to the
list Of letters he has written about murder.
He has increased the volume of words he
has devoted to the subject of American
lives taken by alien assassins acting under
the direction of foreign governments.
But the real question remains the same:
What is Mr.. Wilson going to do about the
Ancona crime? What is he going to do
about the Lusitania crime? So far he has
done nothing about either. So far he has
given no one reason to believe he means
TO do anything.
Another note is fresh disgrace unless
behind the note lies a purpose, a will, a
courage never yet revealed by Mr. Wilson
in dealing with national honor and safety
Americans may still be able to hope, but
they cannot believe or trust.

career was an interesting one. And If, IN

Defying the Omens.

The Democratic National Committee
defed the omens when it sent the Demo
cratic National Convention Of 1915 TO st.
Louis. st. Louis has always been hoo
doc town for Democratic nominees.
Samuel j. Tilden was nominated there
in 1876. Alton b. Parker was nominated
there in 1904. The only time that Grover
Cleveland was defeated as a Presidential
candidate was in 1888, and he was unani-
mously renominated at st. Louis that
year.
Mr.. Wilson is perilously paralleling the
circumstances of Cleveland's campaign
for a second term. The Democratic Ma
tional Committee yielded 10 superstition
far enough TO avoid having the 1916 CON
vention meet on a Tuesday, the weekday
usually chosen, because Tuesday will fall
on June 49, II Haunted an even more
sinister augury Of disaster in selecting for
next years ratification meeting the one
convention town most dismally associated
with Democratic defeat.
Is it possible that the committee was
really moved in making its choice by a
desire to testify very subtly at this time
to its mistaken belief in the inviolabiity
of the Baltimore conventions declaration
in favor of a single term for Presidents?

AS soon as a rock is noted by some mariner the fact is reported to the government hydropragh office and bulletins giving the location of the rocks by description are sent broad cast, but this method is unreliable and uncertain. The only way to do is to have all the rocks charted Other wise We shall continue to have such wrecks as the state of California, Ia homa and Paramita It will take years to thoroughly wire drag the Alaskan coast There are so many hooks and Grannies in the hundreds of inlets that it will be a tedious job.
