The Army Bill Veto.

Touching the merits Of President Will
sons particular grounds for vetoing the
army appropriation bill the public has ut
tie information. 1t waits to learn
whether the object in view was personal
or matter of general principle-or II
personal whether justified or not.
But of far greater Importance, the pub
lie is anxious to be assured that this veto
of a great bill for an unsatisfactory detail
will not destroy or delay great reforms
Whatever its shortcomings, the army ap-
propriation bill worked much good, was
long step forward and stood as the maxi
mum achievement likely to be accepted by
the present Congress. Is that bill now to
fail or will Congress accept the Presidents
criticism and repass it forthwith? That
is the question which the public is asking
and which it hopes to see speedily an
swered in patriotic fashion.

did not use it regularly. Some of the other
rebels reverted to the old spelling with
more reason. Sean Mac Diarmada easily
suggests the more familiar Anglicized
form. The Englishsounding Edmund
Kent is not so obvious in the disguise OF
Eamonn Ceant, but many Jealous patriots
go further and when their names are hope
lessly English do not stick at a bold trans
lation. if translation is by any means pos
sible. Thus one Walker calls himself Mac
Siubhlaigh, and similar efforts have been
made TO give an Irish turn to the most I'M
promising names.
Perhaps this sort of enthusiasm does
keen patriotism alive. Dean Swift evident
ly thought so. 81 am deceived he wrote
"if anything hath more contributed 10
preyent the Irish from being tanned than
the announcement of their language
He found nothing lovely in these lrisn
names. for, considering some he found IN
the advertising columns Of an Irish paper
at is impossible he said, that either
chance or modern invention could sort the
alphabet in such a manner as 10 make
those abominable sounds; whether hrst
invented to invoke or fright away the
Devil. / must leave among the curious.
But the modern patriot takes these
things very seriously, and discovers MOTH
ing but beauty in the Irish forms. Mr.
Edward Martyn-the Dear Edward IA
miliar to Mr.. George Moore's readers--is
a mighty hater of England and thor
ough believer in the old way of spelling.
1.-THE best thing that could harper to Ire
land" he wrote a few years ago, would be
if England were blotted out of lrelands
sphere. English influence can be nothing
but bad. No two countries, as no two
languages, blend together worse than
these. The result is hideous nondescript.
How beautiful are the Irish names, either
spoken or written in beautiful Irish CHAR
acter and spelling How hideous at once
they become when Anglicized."
But, of course, he would not agree that
the tanning" of those whom Swift called
'Irishmen of the savage kind" was IN any
way a thing to be prayed for.

The Arabic.

Remembering that the Arabic was sunk by a
German torpedo on August 10. 1850
We are not sudden haters; but by dint
OF many horrors all our hearts are quick.
We are not ready writer's, with the trick
Of rhyming just to see our words in print.
Nor are we fast forgetters: there remain
Bitter and shameful in our memory
Old murders that made horrible the sea
And tinged clean water with red, red
stain.
Titanic: she went down for love of speed;
The Eastldnd-curse her!-just for dirty
greed;
But there are ships whose names are still
more rank.
A year has passed, but still our hearts
are sick
To think of the cool cruelty that sank
The Lusitania and the Arabic.

Fine Shades Of "You ALL"
no Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is something want to say rela-
tive to the much abused and sadly misunder-
stood expression, "You ALL" 1t is very anus
ing to me to read the so-called witticisms in
your Northern newspapers, as well as to see
the portrayals on the stage, in which the
ignorant and whiskered Southerner is &C
credited with applying "you all" to an in
dividual. have lived in the South for
twenty-six years and have never yet heard Of
the expression being used in this way.
The negro land lots of whites consider the
pronoun "you" singular number and to
make the plural unquestioned the call" is
added. For instance, il one party wished to
invite another to join him in a drink, he
would say, "Will you have drink with me?'
but if there were two or more in the party
he would invariably say, "Will you all have
a drink with me ?" thereby leaving no doubt
in the minds of the entire party that the in
vitation had been extended to each of them
alike II this be incorrect English, then the
adjective "sll" might well be eliminated from
our vocabulary, as in this case it leaves a
definite and conclusive meaning, which the
plural pronoun "you" does not.

Healthier and Happier Horses.
he Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: letter to you, dated June ~, signed
by five citizens, commercially expressed the
gratitude OF horses and their friends for
handsome and substantial open brides fur
nished gratis by the American S. p. T. A. TO
needy horses In general way, any horse
burdened with binders (rapidly becoming OBJ
solete) is in need of freedom for eyes and
freedom from undue weight and heat Per
haps IL there had been fewer limiting or
wrong type binders this advanced idea Tor
freedom for horses might have been delayed.
The purpose of this letter, however is to
call attention to the interesting fact that for
few years back, and so far as know before
the idea was adopted by the S. P. c. A., the
Womans League for Animals, OF which Mrs.
James Speyer is the inspired and energetic
president, has been giving freely open brides,
in addition to many other gifts, for the crea-
ton of healthier and happier horses and the
multiplication of grateful owners and drivers
furnishing relief as well to the panied sus-
ceptibiities of enlightened humanitarians-
who fail not TO realize the economic value in
cident to the heightened endurance of
happy horse, so generously contributing to
the comfort Of its owner and to the need OF
citizens at large, who. one and all, are IN
debted to their equine co-laborers.
All honor to the American S. P. c. A, but
let us not forget to recognize the energy
and devotion of the Woman's League for
Animals B. E. STORRS.

Investigate II.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | agree with you that the arrest OF
Miss Mary Sylvester the other evening should
be carefully and thoroughly Investigated.
This case calls attention to the wickedness OF
the vice squad detectives in lettering on the
street trying TO catch their prey.
The officer picked up" as he puts it, MISS
Sylvester, who, through a case Of mistaken
identity. allowed him to walk with her Tor
several blocks. Then he suggested, she says,
that he go TO her home with her, when
suggestion she Indignantly resented There
upon this young vice hunter placed her I'M
der arrest and took her to the station house
and finally to the court, where she was found
guilty and received a suspended sentence.
Now let this matter be thoroughly investi-
gated. According to oil reports Miss Syl-
vcster is a lady of the highest character and
has for years been interested in mission work
among the Chinese and in the various Sums
in our city. Not one word has been said
about her character derogatory to II except oy
the officer. Her record should certainly be
counted strongly for her. ! don't know her,
don't know the officer, but do know Henry
L. Redfeld, her character witness, and
don't know a man whose word would take
before his.
hope that If this unfortunate affair does
nothing else it will stop the practice OF
officers going out on the street and aiding and
abetting unfortunate women in the commits

fixed nitrogen. apart from the manufacture
of explosives, is as a plant food. Hence il
is important that private enterprise should
be encouraged in the development OF the
best and cheapest process. This does not
mean government aid; in fact, the commit
tee is distinctly opposed to subsidies, OBJ
serving that call of the processes can APP
parently be greatly improved, and the evo-
luton of the best process will proceed more
rapidly than under the artificial stimula-
ton which government backing would give
to any single process"
On the other hand, it is pointed out that
as the cost of power is an essential ques-
ton in several of these processes so a lib
eral policy in the matter of water power is
greatly to be desired for at is in the
highest degree conserving resources to
make use of the otherwise wasting water
power which can be conserved in no other
way, and thereby preserving other sources
of power, as coal, gas and OIL"
Finally the various processes are sum-
married. and classified, and for reasons suf-
fciently set forth the committee recon-
mends that the research facilities of the
government be concentrated on two points
the oxidation of ammonia and the modus
operandi Of nitrogen-fxing bacteria, ques-
tons which might properly be taken up by
the Bureau Of Mines and Bureau of
Soils, respectively. The recommendations
are clear and definite, and as they are
evidently disinterested they should help
the government to meet an emergency
which has too long been neglected.

The Nitrate Situation.

Since the war began and preparedness
came to be subject of general debate we
have heard a great deal about the nitrate
situation and the undesirability of total
dependence upon the CHILEAN beds. In the
discussions that arose over a state of af-
fairs manifestly urgent and disquieting it
was unfortunately apparent that personal
interests often played considerable part,
that in many cases those who had ready
remedies had incidental axes TO grind.
Now, it is ridiculous that situation
plainly unsatisfactory should be clouded by
such considerations or that private inter
ests and dissensions should be allowed to
interfere with public needs. For this rea-
son the recommendations of the Committee
on Public Relations of the American
Electrochemical Society are timely apd
well conceived and should clear the air of
controversy and make the needs of the
future sufficiently evident
This committee, composed Of the presi-
dent and the past presidents Of the society,
has addressed a communication to the
President, the Secretary Of the Navy and
the Secretary of War, setting forth briefly
the essential points TO be considered and
the most direct way of dealing with them.
First of all, the government is urged with
out delay to provide eighteen months
supply, on a war basis, of CHILEAN nitrate
using government ships if necessary, this
reserve to be stored at various strategic
points" This is preliminary precaution,
by no means founded on apprehension, but
simply on experience with due regard to
present deficiencies. and to the possibili-
ties of the future. Secondly, in respect TO
the various nitrogen processes, the authors
admit that they "know of no expert who
could be considered as having a strictly
unbiased mind; hence, adopting a sug-
gestion of the Naval Consulting Board,
they recommend that the President ap-
point a small committee to visit those who
control the several processes and are pre-
pared TO furnish confidential data to the
authorized representatives of the govern
ment.
AS there is still reason to regard peace
as the normal state of the world, what
follows is by no means the least important
of the recobmendatiOns. The chief use of

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION
Mr.. Robert Bacon ". a Colorless Political
Manager and q Mediocre Congressman.

FROM Tho New RspsOHc
The Senatorial situation In New York
State throws a curious light on the working
of American politics. The Democrats, re-
spending to real popular demand voiced
by the labor unions. the more genuine FRO
gressives and the liberal Democrats, have
succeeded In securing the Endorsement OF
Judge Seabury as candidate for Governor.
Having exhausted their virtue and their in
terest in conceding so much to the spirit oil
the times, the Senatorship Is about TO 70 by
default to a colorless friend OF the organiza-
ton. Mr.. William +. McCombs. No evidence
exists that Mr.. McCombs has any ideas on
the subject Of policy, though he Is regarded
as fairly competent political manager The
Republicans seemed to take so little inter-
est in their nomination for Senator that be-
fore anybody quite realized 1t ex-Congress-
man William Calder had filled the vacuum
where a real candidate ought to have been'
Few people care about Mr.. Calder. NO one
identifies him with any important national
policy. He is the type Of conventional po-
iitical broker who has done what the mediocre
Congressman spends most Of his time doing
acting as A kind Of small attorney for local
patronage and local interest. Finally, the
more nationally minded Republicans In New
York seem to have walked up In the last few

of Colonel Roosevelt, and he also has the

Arbitrate!

President Wilson's scheme of settling
the threatened railroad strike-to give the
employees an "eight-hour working day
first and arbitrate or investigate other j.
sues afterwards putting the cart before
the horse with a vengeance. 1t is entirely
natural that the railroad managers and,
after them, the railroad presidents should
have rejected it.
The essence Of this controversy is not
hours of labor, but wages. The demand
of the employees for an eight-hour day is
deceptive, and nobody knows it better than
they. What they actually want is more
pay for the hours they work-which hours,
by the very nature of railroading, cannJt
be cut to measure like a bolt Of cloth. 1t
happens that there is not the humanitarian
appeal in strike for more money that
lies in a strike for shorter working hours,
therefore the disingenuous form which the
brotherhoods demands have taken.
There is no reason why a question of
hours and question of wages should not
be submitted to arbitration. There is one
paramount reason why the present issue
essentially question of wages-should be
submitted to investigation, at least before
any scheme called a settlement be put into
practice, even for trial. That lies in The
fact that the railroads income is limited
by government edicts. 1t is the merest
Justice to ascertain whether, with income
so limited, they can pay the increases which
would result from the proposed eight-hour
scheme before forcing that scheme on them.
The railroads from the very beginning
of this controversy have sought arbitra-
ton, have demanded it, have pleaded for l..
They have been willing to submit their case
to the Interstate Commerce Commission OF
to a board of arbitrators under the New
lands act, which would have compelled
them to accept the decision rendered oy
such board. This willingness to take the
ruling of an impartial tribunal shows u
confidence in the merits Of their case which
is bound to beget public confidence and
therefore support from the public for their
position. In striking contrast is the attitude
of the union leaders, who refuse arbitra-
ton of their disingenuous demand, and WHO
now place their hope Of victory in the pow
ers of the President to force on the rail
road heads a trial system of dubious merit,
under penalty of being denounced to the
public as responsible for the great catas-
trophe if they refuse to accept it.
1t may be taken for granted, despite all
the tall talk at Washington, that no sane
person in this country wants to precipitate
general railroad strike. The way -
avoid one is not by the Presidents trial
plan, nor by continuance of the union
isHss rule or ruin policy, but by the arbitra-
ton Of the hours and wages issue without
further buffing and politics playing.

The Greatest of Readjusters.


We do not see why there should have been
any stir in the Senate over the discovery that
President Wilson has completely reversed
himself in the matter Of the proposed chlid
labor law Senator Borah was able TO snow
that Mr.. Wilson described this legislation IN
his Constitutional Government" as unconstl-
tutional. an obviously absurd extravaganza
carrying the Congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boundaries o!
reasonable and honest inference" and making
il possible. if sustained for Congress TO legs-
late over "every particular of the industrial
organization and action Of the country" mat,
we must confess, has also been The Evening
Posts" view. But "The Evening Post" and
Senator Borah are old fogies, dating BACK 70
the time when it was the custom to have
fixed beliefs and principles and stick to them.
The Senator has evidently not read Mr. VIII
sons letter in explaining his change of front
on the Tariff Commission-that it is only a
narrow man whose mind is stupidity closed to
new ideas. who does not alter his opinions.
Bv this test Mr. Wilson is obviously one OF
the broadest minded men this country has
ever produced, for he has changed his mind
TO date on the initiative, referendum, recall,
woman suffrage the Tariff Commission, tar
ifs for revenue only, permanent diplomatic
service beyond politics, the merit system in
the Civil Service. the proper place Of Tam
many Hall in the scheme Of the universe,
child labor legislation, preparedness, Bryan,
a Continental srmy-but why continue? IT Is

political views are not fossi.ized by any Tear
,f inconsistency
