HARDLY ANY HOPE LEFT

The loss of deputy fish commissioner Irwin, and his aids, Sandy Clark and the other man, reported in last weeks issue has cast gloom over the community Not only because those had the confidence of whoever came in contact with them but because of the they met their fate. Leaving no trace whatsoever. As though they had sunk to the bottom of the ocean, when, and matter of fact that was impossible, as their boat found anchored in shallow part of bay
 Some have advanced the theory that the men met with foul play. They base this theory the fact that they after law breakers and in endeavor to make arrest-the presumption is-they were overpowered and disposed of Of course this is only supposition, nevertheless, the circumstances leading up to the finding of the anchored boat, to- gether with other indications leave cloud the mind to for their mysterious disappearance hence the great interest displayed by every citizen to clear up the mystery And thus far, it is gratifying to state that efforts have been too great to under take by the good people of the community unrave the mystery, and with hardly any hope left, still working the case, and indication of real

A VITAL DUTY
(From the Minneapolis Journal.)

The home is the most precious, as it is the funda- mental and most vital institution in the life of tion. If that thought is commendable, is it not also reasonable to think that the biggest, bravest and brightest career possible to woman and men, is the founding, beautifyng and upbuiding of the home?
 Ambition for active citizenship the yearning for mental expansion the novelty and allurement of play ing "the mans game,' the craving to get into busn and the professions the sometimes unwomanly yearning for notoriety-all of these tendencies of the mdoern may have their reasons, their plantations and their excuses.
 But the destiny of this nation is enevtably in the line of its homes it's families, it's domestic life The coming generation sit at the feet of the mothers Of men, and the home must be the nursery and the school the shrine and the sanctuary of the
 As there be real home without a woman, it would that feminine ambition, pride individual iy, assertiveness and patriotism would resurge to- ward the home the most natural, the most endur- ing and the most glorious focus of activity Lawmak- ing itself is not the welfare of a people as homemaking
 Men cannot make homes. That is for women to do And it worth while.

 The great majority of do not believe in prayers do believe in Christian Science, Unity teaching or whatever it is called At least have had faith in it. But what can we say when such cure is ob taned. When for instance, epieptic sufferer for years is cured in week by the persistent belief in such teaching Or when person is practically an invalid for years and had tried nearly every thing without any permanent relief, and is cured en- tirey through the Unity tachng. What can the un- belvers say? Surely, they must admit that there is something in the teaching that is too deep for the average mind But is though it should give food for thought. And it does. We wonder if the present cruel could not be stopped by the unver- sal concentration of the non-combatants mind to that end.

The Value of the Mayors Bread Letter.

The letter Of Mayor Mitcnel to President Will
son on the bread question, which was considered
at the Cabinet meeting in Washington yesterday
will serve two good purposes. 1t will tend to
hasten a comprehensive investigation of the food
stuffs situation in this country, and 1T may also
discourage an artificial advance in the price of
wheat.
1t is a national problem which we are facing
and while local Investigations may prove valu'
able in unearthing local conspiracies among bak-
ers the inadequacy of city or state inquiries TO
90 10 the bottom Of the matter is only too appar-
ent. Here in New York. for example the author
tiles cannot compel the testimony Of the big Chi
cago GENERATORS, against whom the burden OF COM
plaint rests. On the other hand, the prepare
tions Of the Attorney General to look thoroughly
into the situation so far as this state is con-
cerned have undoubtedly had something to DO
with the recent break in wheat quotations.
Let us have, then, thoroughgoing federal
investigation of the whole problem, touching on
every factor involved, from the wheat field to
the dinner table. By all means let US have 1t
before any such rash thing an embargo is at
tempted, with the consequent Gripping Of our
foreign commerce and a great increase Of unem-
ployment. In the meantime, however, 1t VIII
be well if the rabid wheat spectators remember
that to the possibility of an opening Of the Oar
danelles and the release of Russian grain stores
there is added that Of a limitation on American
export of wheat, provided they become unrea-
sonably energetic on the bull side.

Making the Governor the Real Leader

Professor Jenkss plea for constitutional re-
organization Of the state government along bust
ness lines inevitably takes in The short ballot
policy. He would have the Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor elected with power given TO
the Governor to appoint his cabinet Of depart
ment heads. But lie goes further than that in
centrazing power and authority in the Gov
ernor, for he would confer that official power
to introduce bills and the right TO address the
Legislature personally in support of his policies.
The reconstruction scheme thus outlined is one
which Mr.. Stmson has advocated for months,
and is known TO be supported by many Of the
Republican delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention. It makes the Governor the real leader
in policy and action; in fact, it makes him pretty
much the whole administration. That is exactly
what the voters want him to be, if there is any
accurate way of gauging public sentiment or in
terpreting the drift of politics in recent years
The head of the ticket is the candidate whose
views are sought and whose utterances are lis
tened 20 during a campaign. When elected he is
the man who by his inaugural address and his
message to the Legislature sets the pace for the
administration. When his term ends, his admin
istration is judged by the nearness with which
the programme he laid out and the partys ac-
tally. Yet at present he has not
the power TO carry out his programme or even
full responsibility for it. Elected state officials,
his colleagues on the ticket over whom he has
no control, may block his programme in many
important respects. The Legislature may fail
utterly TO agree with him and bring about dead
lock in wholly unreasonable fashion.
From the viewpoint of practical efficiency the
braD Of
ment has partially broken down. combination
Of executive and semi-legislative powers in the
Executive ought to get around many OF the diff
culties of the present way Of working. The pro-
posal is one of the most important the Constitu-
tional Convention will deal with, and, from the
publics point Of view one of the most interesting

No Ziszas Street Crossings.

There is merit in the recommendation Of the
Mayors Committee on Street Traffic and Safety
that it be made illegal to cross streets except at
corners and at crossings designated in the middle
of long blocks This is no sedate country COM
munty, where the villagers may cut zigzag
across streets without danger to themselves and
without detriment to the flow Of traffic. Not all
the street accidents which occur here are due to
carelessness or recklessness of speeding chauf-
feurs or truckdrvers. Some chargeabe en-
tirey to the pedestrians injured.
Most European cities have the system which
the police authorities and the Mayors committee
propose for New York. The stream of pedes-
TRANS at crowded street crossings moves accord
ing to rules just as the stream of vehicular traffic
does The pedestrian has no rights in a street
save at corner crossings, and if he wanders out
of his territory and gets hurt 1t is his own fault.
The general result is a limitation of the danger
zone. The traffic policemen may handle their
task with all attention on the crossings 1t may
be hard to break the habit which many people
have of darting across streets wherever they see
chance, but it will be worth while TO try it
because of greater safety and ease in handling
traffic.

A Triumph for Typhoid Vaccine.

The value Of typhoid fever anti-toxn is having
a splendid demonstration among the British
troops in the trenches Since the war began. ac-
eording to Sir Frederick Treves, there have been
only PIP cases of typhoid fever among the soldiers
OF the expeditionary force, and of that number
l73 had not been inoculated at all and eighteen
more had not been fully inocuated. Only eleven
had had the complete treatment. Not one inocu-
lated man in the whole force died from the
disease.
This is in accord with the experience Of the
American regulars camped for a longer period
and throughout hot summer on the Mexican
border. Every soldier there had been inoculated
and an almost complete absence of the disease
resulted. But the conditions during actual war
fare In the trenches in France and Flanders are
much more favorable to the development Of ty-
phoid than even those Of summer camp on the
Rio Crande The continued rains, the exigencies
of battle, the exposure and lack Of sleep and
food and the tremendous numbers OF men in
yolyed would seem 10 provide ideally fertile
field for vast typhoid epidemic much more cost
ly to the Allies than bullets.
Undoubtedly, the strict sanitary measures, en-
ployed by Ee medical corps Of the British force

The Open Markets Become Permanent

While the open markets will not be Tree IN
future. Borough President Marks declares that
they will be permanent. The charging OF small
rental for space in them, as the Sinking fund
Commission has decided 10 do, will serve TWO
nurposes. II will assure the city some income as
an offset to the expense Of maintaining them ana
it will lessen the protests of retail dealers IN
their neighborhood that the city, by subSidizng
the staIlholders in the markets, Is discriminating
against the storekeepers.
How the charging of this rent will affect prices
to consumers is yet TO be determined but II
ought not 10 bring about any material increase
These temporary markets now made permanent
have had beneficial effect in low
ering the cost Of living for those who could
patronize them. Protests against permitting
this at the city's expense were legitimate to the
extent that the city gave the stalls rent free'
Now that this has been changed, the markets
will have a chance TO demonstrate their ability
TO serve the public on a farer basis of competl-
ton with the permanent merchants. If they can
do this and still preserve their lower prices they
will he a valuable factor indeed in the c'ty's
scheme of food distribution.

FULL CREW LAWS UNWlSE
Citizens Urged to Ask Legislators for
Repeal.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany declares that this law causes
waste of $l,l00,000 annually in the
employment of unnecessary men on the
Pennsylvania system alone. This Is an
Injustice to the stockholders and even
to The public. What is virtually the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company! Is
It a band of hard hearted, money grasp
ing. humanity crushing capitalists
No; its stockholders number almost
100 900 persons, and $4,000 Of these are
women. many OF them dependent for
their support upon the dividends OF the
company.
It is well known that full crew laws
are pushed by the Brotherhood OF Rail-
way Trainmen, but such effort is as
unjust as would be that Of store clerks
if they should demand law that every
grocer and butcher must employ at
least three helpers. When a railroad
gpends money unnecessarily il impairs
either its equipment for public service
or its dividends for its stockholders.
The Tribune and other papers are ar
rayed on the side of justice and good
sense, and we would urge the voters
Of New Jersey to write TO their repre-
sentatives in the Senate and Assem-
bly, requesting the repeal OF the full
crew law. And we trust that our legis..
lators will prove themselves men OF
sterling worth, not intimidated by any
unreasonable cry because 1t has votes
behind il. JOHN X. JONES.

following questions? This government

the existing (Democratic) administra-
tion which Mr. Wilson represents. II
! am right in this statement, then |
must confess 20 a lack Of comprehen-
sion how the United States can remain
silent while witnessing the grossest
violations by Germany of the law OF

Of this law?

may be q surprise 10 most people to
learn that there are more Russians in
New York City by nearly to l than
there are Germans, for there were

1877 Germans; and still New York has
a greater proportion of Germans rela-

other city in the United States except
