The Case Of Mr.. Whiting.
sidgefeld, n. j., June &c, 1915.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In a news it m in your issue OF
June l6 you stated that would be removed
as superintendent of the Municipal Lodging
House"
May | take this occasion to correct the
statement, which indicates summary action on
the part of Commissioner Kingsbury, es-
pecially as it is connected in the article with
the case Of the former superintendent, who
was removed on charges? The fact is the
tenure of my Office expired by limitation
because Of the establishment of the civil
service list.
When Commissioner Kingsbury suspended
former Superintendent York, in April, 1914
he requested me to step into the breach and
conduct the institution until such time as a
permanent superintendent could be appointed
according to the regular procedure.
Il was announced soon afterward that a
competitive examination would be held. The
examination, however, was delayed, and the
list not issued until May &c, 1915 During the
entire time | performed the duties of super
intendent and for the greater part of the
year also of deputy superintendent, head OF
the social service department, industrial de-
partment manager and head OF the office
and registry departments.
Public approval of my work has been given
by Mayor Mitchell, Commissioner Kingsbury,
Theodore Roosevelt and many others.
The appointment Of another superintendent
from the civil service list just established
on which am eligible for the appointment,
would cast no reflection upon me. nor could
it be regarded as removal for cause. Such
an ntimation would be unjust to both Com
missioner Kingsbury and myself.

Guesses at the Future.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The news which caused the British
government to begin the recent proceed
ings against the London Times" is of the
highest Importance. The fact that General
Jofrre has called the last man in France to
the colors shows that at last he has all the
arms and ammunition ready and is preparing
to turn the avalanche of the Allies upon
Germany. The first line of the German de-
fence can be broken through at any time
but they have their second line all ready
and it has been selected with the view CT
being as short as possible, so as to be &C.
Tended by the smallest number Of troops
The first thing JofFre will need is the largest
possible number of men capable of welding
the pick and the spade, and raw recruits are
just as good for this purpose as seasoned
veterans. As soon as his trenches com
pleted and the French artillery in position
it will require a comparatively small Tumbar
of army corps to hold these defences, and
all the British and Belgian troops can be re-
leased to move over to Holland and attack
the Germans in their rear, where they have
also very few defences. The Dutch govern
ment will be compelled TO join in this war
just as Italy has been, because il is plairly
to be seen that only by defeating Germany
once and for all time can the assurance OF
independence be granted to the Hollanders.
When it comes to deciding on the terms
Of peace Kitchener and Joffre, with the Rus
sian representative, will adopt the old Roman
motto that only the sword can bring last
ing peace under liberty" Germany will re
deprived Of her army, her navy, and her colo
MES, and thus rendered innocuous The
Roman armies under the Caesars secured for
the civilized world four hundred years Of
peace, and there is every prospect now that
the armies Of a united Europe will be aole
to do even better. In due season the two
great pacfst nations, China and the United
States, will be disposed in such ways as may
seem most conducive to the harmony Of the
others r. s. ROWLAND.

Fostering Preparedness.

If more employers would follow the
course announced by the Lincoln National
Rank and several commercial houses re-
Gently there would be less danger of "un-
preparedness" A letter to Major General
Organ from the president Of the bank
promised that its employees who were men,
bers of the National Guard or Naval
Militia would receive leave of absence for
military service without loss Of pay and
without having the time thus lost from
work deducted from their vacation allow
ances.
One of the reasons why it is difficult to
obtain recruits for the National Guard Is
the objection of employers to having their
Young men liable to military duty at times
inconvenient to the concerns. 1t IS, OF
course, against the law to discharge an
amploye for doing his duty in the military
organization to which he belongs, but there
are WAYS to get around that law, as en-
ployers and workers well know. The ex-
pense of belonging to the guard and the
time necessary for drills and camp train
ing seem sufficiently Onerous to the aver
age young man, so that he thinks twice
before taking the risk of mourning his
employers ill will also by deserving work
for military duty when he is needed at
his daily task.
Fortunately, business men are coming
Il realize that it has been a short-sighted
policy to frown on militia service. The
Merchants Association has standing
committee on military affairs, which is
conducting a campaign among the men,
bers of that organization to encourage
them to give their approval to the enlist
ment of their employees in the practical
fashion pursued by the Lincoln National
Bank. More interest in National Guard
service and more enlistments would go
good way toward bolstering up the coun-
try's military resources.

Father Knickerbockcr's Flag.

New York City will raise to-day for tie
first time its own flag, a circumstance
which should contain wealth OF sighi''-
canoe for the imaginatively inclined
To begin with, the possession of an ex-
elusive emblem of its own would seem TO
define the city more sharply rs political
and social unit possessing an individuality
TO he reckoned with and respected. ms
excellent impression should he further en-
HANGED by the character Of the new flag,
of blue, white and orange, unique in It's
American environment, and by the fact
that Amsterdam, the mother city beyond
the seas, is its donor. Alone among great
American cities New York belongs TO Am
sterdam. The Inheritance as well as the
flag is unique.
The flag raising may therefore be con-
sidered in the nature of proclamation of
dignity, of the dignity which belongs to
any well marked individual, be he man or
political entity. AS part of the exercises
marking the 25Oth anniversary of the IN
auguration of the city's first Mayor and
Board of Aldermen its significance is OBJ
vious. But no less obvious seems its bear
ing on the hostility of the administration
at Albany and on the demands Of the city
for home rule With his tricolor fluttering
from City Hall to-day Father Knicker-
booker will appear to declare to ali the
world, but pointedly to the despoilers from
upstate at the capital and to the Constitu-
tional Convention, that he is entitled to
that reasonable measure of autonomy for
which for centuries now he has been strug-
Cling in vain.
May the tricolor become the banner Of
victory

Help the Census Man.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Probably if the people of the United
States were convinced that the census taker''
is not an inquisitiye individual, asking ques-
tons to satisfy his own curiosity, but an
cmploye Of our government, trying to get
the statistics of its numerous citizens, an
swers might be more truthful and manners
more courteous.
One can understand the ignorant, or for
eigners lately arrived, being afraid to an
swer and trying TO evade the law; but il is
surprising how many, protesting patriotism,
who belong TO the educated and better
classes think it right and even very smart
TO equiyocate or lie TO the officer who po-
htely states his business and asks for the
required information. Let us show our pa
triotism By helping to make our country's
records truly correct. No one should be con-
sidered desirable citizen who falsfes the
census OF our nation. PATRIOT.

BRYAN THE ORATOR
An Entertainer Without the Equip
ment of Statesman.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The recent conduct of W. ]. Bryan is
not toerable by the people Of the United
States of America. The people cannot pay
respectful obedience to two Presidents at the
same time.
Mr.. Woodrow Wilson is the President
elected by the people, and Mr.. w. J. Bryan
was by Mr.. Wilson appointed to fill the Office
next to the notwithstanding of State.
Mr.. Bryan accepted the honor and entered
upon the duties Of the office. He learned the
secrets of the government and at most
serious moment in the affairs Of the nation
not only refuses his assistance to the Presi-
dent. but deliberately goes before the public
and delivers his individual opinion against
the President, whose work on behalf of the
nation is accepted and heartily sustained by
the unanimous vote of all the members of
the Cabinet.
This act is not only an expression of self
ishness, but it is treasonous. The people
will tolerate free speech" if it be not against
the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" These are the rights for the
establishment o. which this republican de-
mocracy was inaugurated, and by the articles
Of the Constitution distinctly declares that
the majority shall decide these rights for ali
the citizens.
Mr. Bryan knew when he accepted the
Office of Secretary of State that he would be
called upon to meet situations not in harmony
with his individual views of life, and at the
time of his acceptance of the Office he was
possessed of an educational force by which
he must have known that many conditions
entirely antagonistic to his feelings would
present themselves.
Through many centuries Of observation and
recorded study craftsmanship has approached
very near to an exact science In all judicial
matters sympathy-that is, feeling-must be
eliminated and the judgment rendered must
be the output of the highest development
of human reason.
Here then is the proposition on which Mr..
Bryan has failed. Oratory is very old form Of
entertainment. Oratory is an art but it is not
necessarily based on truth, and truth is now
and has always been the leverage by which
wisdom is lifted into the utilities of life. In
the halls of legislation oratory is the weapon
of the politician, who is ever acting upon
expedient, winning his way by the music of
his voice, the flow of which submerges
reason and browns the rational process.
The statesman is deliberate slow, for he
must present truth, and truth is not always
found with the lightning stroke Of sensa-
ton. The orator depends on rhetoric. The
statesman may use rhetoric, but he depends
on logic. f. r MAOhAf'

A Real Secretary of State.

That President Wilson would retain Mr..
Lansing as Secretary Of State was almost
q foregone conclusion. A political appoint
ment to this post at this juncture would
have gone against the grain with the pub
lie. The country has not yet recovered,
and will not soon recover, from the dis
astrous effects of confding the conduct of
our foreign relations to a politician who
looked upon his Office as mere sinecure
earned by partisan activities.
The critical condition of our relations
with Germany makes it imperative to have
an experienced and competent diplomatist
at the head Of the State Department. Mr..
Lansing has the ability and the training
as an international lawyer which are
needed in the conduct of the departments
business. He possesses, in addition, IA
miliarity with the details of the various
negotiations now pending which it would
have taken a Secretary appointed from the
outside much precious time to acquire. He
was tie logical choice for the Secretary
ship and the country will be glad to see
logic considered and professional capacity
recognized in the selection Of that member
Of the Cabinet who most Of all needs to be
a self-reliant specialist.
But if that rule is accepted without ques-
ton in an emergency like the present one,
why should it not be accepted at all times
and by every President? Nobody can tell
in advance whether or not an administra-
ton is going to have fair weather for four
years in foreign affairs, and it is taking
chances to put in the Secretary Of States
Office a man with no experience or qualifi-
cations as working capital. international
relations are pitfall and a mystery to a
politician of Mr.. Bryan's class. Why tempt
fate by throwing on such an appointee
burdens which he must either dodge or de-
volve on some subordinate?
The country should never have another
Secretary of State who does not measure
up in knowledge and training to the spe-
cial requirements of that very difficult post.

clerical work is given to the city by its clerks
But | almost forgot one thing about the
Mayors Office. After that Independent, Pro-
gressive, Tammany Hall man got properly
seated he engaged eight extra clerks for his
own private Office at salary of from Sl,8OO
to $1,000 year. No Mayor ever had such a
clerical force before this present man.
In fact the present administration will be
the most expensive we ever had Don't talk
about Tammany Hall or corruption-this ad-
minstration will go millions over it in ex-
penses! The people of New York City were
never so much fooled before at city cleo
ton At the last election for Governor those
great Progressives showed their hand!
But, let me return TO the school teachers.
They are good, faithful set of honest men
and women and earn their salaries-well,
even extra money spent on schools is not
wasted. The forty-six men on the Board OF
Education should be let alone. They work
for no wages, and should get our thanks.
Also there is no need of five men at a salary
of $4,000 each to run the schools of this
city-with Boss Prendergast at their head.

City Employees and School Teachers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. William A. Prendergast, Control
Ter. SAYS he wants to cut down expenses and
lower our taxes. Yes, very good-then he
tells US that he wants to abolish the Board
of Education, forty-six men that he says are
costing the city millions, although they get
no salary, and appoint five men at salary
of $4,000 each TO manage and run the
schools. Those five men to be under the di-
rection of the Controller-and this small
sum of $4,000 added to our taxes will be
nothing compared to the million1, he says,
that are now being spent BY the conduct,
habits and tricks of women school teachers,
who have formed clubs, etc, TO the danger OF
society and good politics but especially to
the one-man power and boss Of said Con-
troller. But the learned Controller does not
give US any detail of how those millions are
spent-that he is going to save 10 the city
bv the appointment OF five men on the small
salary of $4,000 each.
Then he goes on 70 tell us how school
teachers work only five hours a day-they
are careless-and get too long a vacation
Now, Just a word about the city employees. |
have been informed that the clerks in the
Controller and Mayors Offices get there at
10 o'clock and take two hours for thinner
leaving at o'clock During the five hours
of wasted time stories are being told, jokes
are passed around and about two hours OF
