Not By, but To.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Ny attention has been called TO eli
editorial in The Tribune of June in which il
is stated that committee of members of the
Chamber Of Commerce. the Merchants Asso-
citation and the City Club has made various
suggestions to reduce the cost of city govern
ment, such as, for instance, charging each
pupil in the high schools the cost of tuition
and abandoning elementary and evening high
schools, recreation centres and public lect-
ures.
The editorial, | think, may Internationally
convey an erroneous impression as to the at
titude of the organizations named. II is
true that suggestions of the character speci-
fed in the editorial were made TO the confer
ence, but no such suggestions were adopted or
Endorsed by the conference or even seriously
onsidered-certainly not by the represent
etives of the City Club. The suggestions
were made not by, but to, the conference.

Chairman Walsh at His Worst.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I want to thank you for your recent
editorial on Frank Walsh. It has seemed tc
me for some time that some of the big New
York papers ought to have something to ssy
regarding the methods pursued by this nan
in his official capacity, and you certainly
said the right thing in regard to him. | am
pretty good union man, and have never
been very strong for the Rockefellers or aly
man of that type, but this man Walsh's mAth-
DDS disguised me, and Mr.. Rockefeller's
even tempered courteous replies to the meal
est kind of bulldozing methods have won my
respect and admiration. One man like Walsh
will do more TO njure the cause of labor than
dozen Rockefellers. There are fairminded
men in the ranks of union labor and they
do not approve of the unfair brow-beating
methods of men like Walsh. He brings dis
grace on the commission he heads

Considers Bryan Dead.
,ditor of The Tribune.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: How fortunate that we have a Presi-
dent who is true American and promoting
one who has nothing nearer his heart than
the undivided and constant service of his
country, whose devotion commands, as il
always must, the admiration of all true citi-
zcns, irrespective of politics Unlike the
late Mr.. Bryan, the President does not allow
his vision to become clouded by constantly
steering across it toy balloons, filed with
the hot air of his personal fads. Mr.. Bryan
would be our Moses to lead US TO peace and
10 pieces, but the country has repuGiated him
before and will do so again. We want live
leader, no. dead one" That he is such
is evident by the stencil already arising from
the vicinity OF the corpse. The people should
constitute themselves a committee Of the
whole on public health and welfare and bury
him quick and deep in quicklime and dsin-
feet the premises thoroughly. II is a bad
case of foot-and-mouth disease, with the en-
phass on the mouth.

The Passive Bloodhound.
lFrom NJ Sprinofeld RepnhIicnn-


Contrary to the general belief, the blood
hound is not apt to worry or harm it's quarry.
The object is to locate the man hunted or,
when game is sought, to force the bear or
wild boar to cover, where the more active
fighting terriers will do the worrying and
aid the gunners in making kill. The mod
ern police dog will seize and hold a suspect
until his human aids come up, but the blood
hound is more passive and is content TO bay
aloud the fact that the fugitive has been
corralled.
The size, muscular appearance and strong
features Of the bloodhound are ocular evil
dence TO the prejudced that the dog is a
sayage customer The common use Of blood
hounds in Uncle Toms Cabin" performances
has helped to spread the idea that the breed
is ferocious.
There is a story OF a stage dog of this
breed that before going with an Uncle Toms
Cabin" troupe was police dog The blood
hound liked policemen so much that he always
wanted TO run up and make friends whenever
he saw one. The bloodhound used to break
AWAY from the street parades TO run into the
country police stations. When the policemen
saw him coming they always tried to climb
cut Of the back windows at the same time. and
often hurt each other in trying TO escape.

Bryan Unpatriotic.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR Mr.. Bryans resignation as head Of
the State Department will give nationwide
satisfaction, but his statement in this morn
ing's papers as TO his reasons reflects seri-
ously on his patriotism.
To suggest that this nation could possibly
arbitrate the slaughter OF American citizens
travelling the high seas under rights which
all the nations of the world, including Ger
many. have recognized as inviolable is, Of
course. unthinkable, and Is excusable only
IN such milk-fed pacifsts Of which Mr. Bryan
is representative. But when he suggests
that the President should publicly warn
Americans against travelling in the war zone
against exercising their legitimate rights, he
offers a deliberate insult to the nation and
the people.
This nation has fortunately not vet de-
generated TO the status Of China This ma
ton is too great to shrink cravenly from dan
ger when its rights are invaded. The gospel
Of non-resistance would degrade the nation
I'm the eyes Of the world, just as in the in
dividual il sinks him to the levels Of the
beast
There are things worse than war-national
dishcnor and cowardice. We have the right
to demand of Germany that our citizens shall
he secure in their lives when travelling
either on neutral or belligerent vessels.
And the military arm of our government
should stand ready and willing TO back up
its demands by force.
Peace if with honor; if not, there will no
longer be any hyphenated Americans. War
will unite this nation as nothing else can,
and we ar, ready. HAROLD FOGEL.

The Citys Fmemen.

In saying, 81 believe the fremen are

son was right if what he meant was
"closer to the hearts Of the people" Fort
unately for the hremen they are not so
close 70 the people in another sense, as in
the case of the police, for example. They
are not in constant contact with the peo-
pie professionally; they do not have TO
tningle with them individually or to deal
with them directly, whether individually
or collectively. In other words, the nature
and necessities Of their profession give
them a certain aloofness which is of the
greatest value, 70 them in the perfection Of
their professional skill, knowledge and
capacity and in the stimulation of their
professional pride and interest.
Il Is this fortunate removal Of its mem
bers from the hurly-burly Of daily street
life that has helped the Fire Department

Teaching Health.

Among the causes of death which nave
not been sensiby diminished by modern
sanitary measures are several diseases
which might vevy well he controlled in
some measure were it possible to secure
The cooperation of the public at large
In the current Medical Record DR.. Ira
$. Vile produces figures showing nota-
bic increase in the death rate from organic
heart diseases and diseases of the arteries
and kidneys. and proceeds to set forth an
elaborate project for the prevention Of
t,cse diseases by means of public education.
Into the details of this project it is i'm
possible to enter. Suffice it that every
conceivable way of stirring up popular in
tercst has been considered by DR.. Vile:
health exhibitions, lectures, posters, bulie-
tirs. motion pictures, vaudeville sketches,
d press bureau for the distribution Of
short stories on health, and so many other
schemes have been planned. that were
they all to be carried out on a large
scale the whole community would never
have a chance to forget for a moment
the perils of Bright's disease, arterio-scle-
rosis or any of the degenerative disorders
that DR.. Vile desires to provide against.
1t is easy to mock at such proposals as
turning the stage into a clinic and enlist
ing the services of school children for
"the distribution of health facts but that
a great deal can be done by advertising
methods of this kind has been fully demon
strated in other instances. The important
thing is to see that it is done in a sensi-
bic way. The public has been cured in
some measure Of the habit Of splitting, and
there is no reason TO doubt that 1t could
he trained in other ways by similar
methods-that is. simply by advertisement
Unfortunately the teachers are not al
ways prudent. The recent enthusiasm for
tooth brush drill" has led to some mani
fest absurdties. A doctor in a letter to
THE New York Medical Journal" de-
scribes a motion picture in which young
woman. having demonstrated the proper
use Of the tooth brush and floss silk, ends
by cracking a Brazil nut with her teeth.
The logical inference to be drawn from
this series Of pictures was" he observes,
that if you kept your mouth clean
and your teeth in good condition you
would be enabled to crack Brazil nuts"
and he wonders whether as an object les
son to children this exhibition will not do
more harm than good.
Too many follies of this sort are asso-
ciated with the modern way of teaching
health, but little common discretion
should provide against them. AS to Dr..
Wies plan, it would be very costly and
difficult to organize on the scale that he
conceives, but it might, as he suggests,
be tried in a single district at first. 1t
would take long time, however, to draw
any useful conclusion from an experiment
on a small scale.

Vocation by Electricity.

In former times boys used to take up
this or that profession or trade according
TO opportunity, or inclination, or the will
of their parents, or the advice of their
teachers. or a combination of these several
conditions; and the choice they made, or
the choice made for them, was governed
largely by the accidents Of birth and en-
vironment family standing and tradition,
and hundred other obvious circumstances
which it would be tedious TO enumerate.
There was a time when few in any class
had many callings to choose among. II
the humber sort usually followed the
trades of their fathers the more fortunate
ones who were unfortunate enough to
be obliged to work for their living had
but two or three possibilities open to them.
Now that such professions as medicine
are quite decent and trade is no longer
regarded as wholly degrading, the chill
dren Of the anxiously respectable have
much greater scope yet the very variety
Of the vocations open to all in these days
/ is. in a way, embarrassing and has added
not a little TO the anxieties of parents. 1t
was perhaps in answer to a popular de-
mand that the Vocational Expert came
/ into being No one ever heard of him till
few years ago, and perhaps in a few
years more he will be extinct. The Noca-
tional Expert is supposed to have an eX-
|traordinary insight into the peculiar tai
ents and powers of children he is supposed
to be able TO detect their natural aptitudes
and TO tell their parents exactly what
they ought to be. One can only say sup
posed, for no professor Of this sort has
been at work long enough to be tested by
/ his results. As half a generation at least
would be required to determine the justice
Of his pretensions the chances are that the
impostor, if there were any in the bust
ness, would never be found out in time
to stop his activities, and every newcomer
must clearly be taken on faith
The Vocational Expert Of the current
type is, however, obsolescent. Dr.. Marion
Prltchard Won David has hit on a method
that is incomparably more accurate than
his. Instead of looking the child over and
hazarding a guess, he applies an appara-
tus that does the whole trick by electricity.

EQUAL Suffrage in Denmark.

Through the adoption Of a new con-
stitutional provision Denmark has taken
the lead in Europe in granting suffrage
to women. Not only may they vote and
be elected TO office just as may men, but
the conditions are more liberal than in
the other Scandinavian countries and IN
Finland. where there are varying degrees
of woman suffrage. It is regarded by suf-
fragists, and properly so, as signal
triumph that after several years eXpe-
rience with municipal suffrage for women
and close scrutiny Of the workings Of more
liberal woman suffrage in neighbor states,
the Conservatives, the chief political oppo-
rents, capitulated practically uncondi-
tonally.
Woman suffrage in Europe has not yet
strayed far from the Baltic. It's propa-
gandists in some of the less democratic
countries have to face social, political and
religious obstacles which make even the
campaign in sophisticated New York State
seem easy. Nevertheless, the demand for
political equality with men has been voiced
from England across to Russia. That Is
sue. along with so many others, has bowed
before the supreme issue in the war
countries, yet women there are proving
their political and economic value in so
many ways that it is bound TO come up
with redoubled force once the great con-
fict is settled.
