A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means healthful fruit origin.
1t means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
Baking Powder.

Lieut.. Col. Goodier's Service.

Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Reber mas

Colonel Reber and the censure OF Lieu
tenant Colonel Lewis Goodier because ne

compared with this other more draSIi-
step. The aviation corps IS to nave i
new head. This should prove a good be
ginning in its rehabilitation.
But it would be an ungraclous trlng
TO dismiss Colonel Goodier's part IN TINS
happy result Of the scandal without
a mention Of the public's debt of graft
tude TO him. In advising the younger
officers attached to the aviation school at
San Diego. among them his son, to re-
fuse TO Av in the unsafe machines pro

Of the service. 1t has been considered
necessary from the army point OF we"
TO reprimand him. But his offence has
resulted, as he probably hoped 1t would
in a complete airing of an intoleraole
situation; has caused a reorganization OF
the flying corps which may save the lives
of many valuable young patriots, and
which, we hope, will help to provide US
with an aviation equipment adequate in
men and machines.
What we want now are more-many
more-aviators Of the kind we already
have. and more-many more-machlnes
of kind we have not. The new head OF
the aviation corps, whether it Is to be
Lieutenant Colonel Squier or another
cannot provide them out of his OWE
pocket or by wishing for them ever 81
ardently. Congress must pass ADEQUATE
appropriations, and public opinion must
put the thumbscrews on Congress until
this is accomplished. Thanks to Lieu
tenant Colonel Goodier-and to the con
firmation of his charges in the Mexican
bandit public opinion is at last
aware of its responsibility.

humility in 1912 We are 10 be deprived OF

that foreign diplomatists chose always 10

Roosevelt and the Negro.

SIR: One Of the essential qualities that
must be possessed by any candidate who
homes TO win the Republican nomination and
election is broad sense OF democracy Of
equality for all. The candidate must be
square on the negro question and not seek

with tho Republican party u the turbulent
days Of the COS that saved this nation from
dishonor and set up an example OF high
Americanism which the nation has strayed
from.
The question that will confront the Re
publican party in the coming campaign is.
What shall we do with the negro Shall VIC
recognize him as a part OF the nation, 20 be
treated as the equal Of others and given
the place in the nation that his ability and
character will warrant? The negro is in
herently a Republican. and will support tina,

general appropriation bill last Monday. 1t
was printed. for general distribution. or
Monday. April 10. To read 1t through
would take not less than two days Of pretty
steady work. Probably not ten legislators
pretended to do so. Probably not hun
bred persons outside the Legislature have
done 30.
The Senate will pass it, under gag rule,
after brief debate, which will consist Of
partisan recriminations. The Governor,
doing the best he can, will cut S3,OOOOOO
or s4.OOO.OOO out Of the various items in
the vast total. The public will dig up the
money to meet the appropriations. But
the public will not become indignant
enough over the waste, the futility, the
sheer stupidity Of the present system to
force its servants to spend public money,
under an honest budget system, as care
fully as they would spend their own cash.

Waste at Albany.

Mayor Mitchell shows how the general
appropriation bill might be reduced 81
100000. He shows how the supply bill
could be cut more than $1,00000O; how
the construction bill, so called. could oo
reduced another S1,O0O,00O; how the sink
ing fund contribution might be defatei
S2.S71 900, and how, by refusing TO build
dirt roads upstate at the expense of the
cities. S1.956OO0 could be saved. These
changes would reduce the appropriations
for the year to S46,825,A7S.31-a sum
which. on the basis Of the Controller
estimates of revenue, would leave cash
lalance for the next fiscal year of moro
than SS,OOO,OOO.
But it is not to be expected that the
legislative leaders who decide how much
Of the states money is to be spent Will
pay any more attention to the Mayor
figures this year than they did last year
when he was protesting against the I'M
Unsuitable levying of a $4,000, 600 direct
tax. If they accepted his suggestions they
would have TO cut down salary lists, al
lowances for labor, maintenance and the
like, which cover much political plunder
T. makes no difference 10 them that, as The
Mayor says. the administrative expense
allowance for the coming year is more
than 100000 higher than it was for

The leaders would have TO prunc the
supply bill of large sums for legislative
printing a constantly growing expense
for payment OF local taxes out Of state
funds, for county fair prizes, most
~ money misspent; for reimbursing farm
ers whose diseased stock is killed, although
no cityman gets anything for destruction OF
his property in process Of fumigation after
an infectious disease. They would have 70
chop out big appropriations for "construc-
ton which is mostly repair jobbery and

they would have 70 cut out the pork and

For the Allies

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: am particularly anxious that you
should print tho following.
on April - you printed my letter under
date OF April :, commenting upon your cdi-
torial with reference to the German Chan

miro would blow up your house when you

State Roads.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Few. II any, are quite satisfied with
the present state roads. Though they arc
great improvement on the dirt roads
especially in spring, they have defects which
are serious
They are hard for horses and wagons
Even motorists prefer good dirt roads. They
require frequent and costly repairs They
soon wear IN ruts where much used. The
broken stone is torn loose by wheels.
This spring they arc heaved and broken
in many places Cannot these difficulties
he overcome?
The best piece Of state road have seen
is not far from Patterson on the road to-
ward New York l. is built Of concrete and
faced with dirt. The costly foundation OF
large stones. with broken stone and asphalt
seems not wholly reliable, while We al
have seen many sidewalks which have no
such base but arc laid on a course Of cinder,
or coal ashes and never heavc =, all.
Why cannot permanent state road be
made in the same way and much more
chcapy than as at present. and faced with
Girt which may boz oiled u needed I'm sum
mer? The ashes or cindcrs would cost
almost nothing. The roadbcd Of concrete
6. :. 10. or - inches thick. would cost for
onc-hfth or less OF its bulk OF cement. tho
balance OF sand, gravel and small stones. re
inforced with old iron tires. hoops rods
and such as are often used in similar work
The dirt facing would. Of course. require
frequent care. but not SO much more thar
the asphalt does. and would cost nothing
for material. except where oil is applied, and
the base OF concrete would be almost IN
dcstructible. II would seem that the grounC
beneath it might hcaye and settle with little
or 10 effect on the strong roadbed.
