A Contrast.

Mr.. Fitzgerald, the chief of the "organ-
izers" who deluded the traction strikers
and endeavored to arouse labor unionism
here to a general strike, appears to be
gentleman Of discrimination. While he was
demanding that loyal unionists boycott
"scab" streetcars and walk to work, he
was enjoying rapid transit in handsome
six-cylinder limousine. His associate or
ganizers were not far behind him. The
group is said to have incurred charges of
from S75 to 500 day for automobile
service.
Of course it is not strictly the public's
business how union officials spend union
funds, or even why individual unionists
contribute funds to be so spent. That is an
issue between the union members and the
men whom they choose to handle their af
fairs. But there must be many members
of the Amalgamated bordering the con-
trast between the unfortunate car men
here, who were manpuvred into violating
their arbitration agreement and quitting
their Jobs, and who have not yet received
any strike benefits from the union treas
ury, and these walking delegates" who
don't walk, but travel in luxurious limou-
sines and live at Broadway hotels.
Labor unionism has produced some wise
leaders, who work hard and unselishly
for the good of their clients. 1t has also
produce1 parasites-labor union politi-
clans, who work for the job and what there
is in it for them The union world needs
some kind of boss-killer.

ventional conceptions" Controversy Eek
poses loose and fallacious methods OF
proof which have got themselves accepted;
shows that we ought to give consideration
not only to familiar and acceptable but
also to unfamiliar and unacceptable eX-
plantations; and makes apparent the moral
danger of cherishing ones mental pictures
till they turn into obsessions."
Is it possible that Sir Almroth Wright
is beginning to doubt those mental pct
ures which one of his medical colleagues,
the late Sir Victor Horsley, described as
his perverted ideas? Can it be that the
vehemence with which he was attacked,
not by suffragists alone, but by some OF
the most powerful opponents of suffrage,
has convinced him that he may be the
victim of an obsession? Can 1t be that
when that stanch anti-suffragist Mrs.
Humphrey Ward denounced his efforts IN
her cause as mere bitter and unseemly
violence" he was compelled to reconsider
his thoughts on the intellectual I'M
morality" of the suffragist, or that when
his colleague Sir r. Douglas Powell, no
less valiant anti-suffragist, was shocked
at what he called his "unsavory imagin-
ings," Sir Almroth Wright undertook at
last to rake out his own mind and TO sepa-
rate demonstrable facts from foul and
morbid fancies?
If this miracle has come to pass, II SIT
Almroth Wright has even reached the
point of recognizing that he exaggerated
little in his remarks on the defective
moral equipments" of all women, and
especially in his remarkable suggestion
that "there are no good women, but only
women who have lived under the influence
of good men," then we may believe that
polemica controversy, even in his own
inimitably offensive style, is not without
its uses, and may, as he believes, serve in
some sort as a means of settling whether
this or that man who is trusted by the
lay or professional public possesses the
only kind of ability worth having-the
gift of getting at the truth"

The Zeppelin a Military Failure.

(FrOn, The Philadelphia IrquUer)
For many years the militarsts of Germany
nrenared with great care for the war which
they at last forced upon goodly section OF
the civilized world Leaving aside all ques-
tons save that of their preparedness, there
must be admiration for the great work they
accomplished in the way of getting ready.
Their siege guns were astonishingy effective.
Their trench building was marvellous. But IN
one thing they have fallen far short Of ex-
pectetions. Their Zeppelins have proved to
be rank failure When we say failure we
mean from a military point Of view. or
course. Zeppelin can drop bombs upon un-
fortified cities or upon villages and kill men,
women and children in their beds. But that
is not war That is pure murder. and of
particularly atrocious kind, akin to the
drowning Of the passengers of the Lusitania.
Much had been antic pated of the Zeppe
Inns In fleets they were 20 attack England,
blow up its defences and its ammunition
plants and open the country to invasion. Two
years and more have gone by, and the high
est accomplishment Of the Zeppelin has been
murder So far as is known there has been
no important destruction from a military
viewpoint. II is apparent that there can be
no such destruction based upon any precon-
ceived plan The bomb must be dropped aim
lessly and if it hits anything it is by

Its Usefulness Gone.

It is unusual to have so frank an
acknowledgment that a governmental
agency has outlived its usefulness as the
recommendation of the subcommittee con-
sidering budget requests that the Public
Employment Bureau be abolished. That
bureau has done good service. Established
in the critical winter Of 1914-'15, when it
was estimated that from 100000 to 500, 900
persons were without employment in this
city, it found places for hundreds of work
ers and built up a valuable information
exchange, whereby employers and indi-
viduals seeking employment could get in
touch with one another at no cost TO them
selves. 1t filled what for many months
was a great need.
Now conditions are changed. The DIFF
ficulty is not TO find work, but to find work
ers for the jobs. Employers are competing
with each other in offering high pay and
attractive working conditions. Skilled me-
chanics, day laborers, even clerical work
ers always the class hardest to place.
have little difficulty in finding employment
at satisfactory wages. AS result, the
usefulness Of the Public Employment Blu.
reau has about vanished, for the time, and
as the city always has at least three good
ways to spend every dollar it has available
it is probably the part of wisdom to dis
continue this service. The likelihood of
any deserving PERSONS suffering because of
such discontinuance is the smaller from the
fact that New York State maintains a
public employment bureau, with several
branches, duplicating to considerable ex-
tent the work of the city enterprise.

For a Greater Canada.
From The Providence journal.

There is a movement on foot in Canada hav-
i ing for its objective the inclusion of the Der
mudas and the British West Indies in the DO
minion. The inspirers of the movement IN
lclude a number Of prominent Canadians, VINO
have banded themselves together as the cana
dian West Indian League. The proposition
has not as yet passed beyond the embryonic
stage, but il is believed that the people of the
islands would generally welcome the change.
II the proposed union should be effected,
British Honduras and British Guiana-and
possibly the far away Falkland ISLANDS
might also be included in the consolidation
Newfoundland, which has hitherto perslstently
refused to become part of the Dominion
would probably relent and thus complete the
uriication of British America, If the rest OF
Britain's colonies in the Western Hemisphere
should get together.
Newfoundland has a population of about
$50 900. and the other British American colo
MES have altogether rather more than two
million people. The white inhabitants OF the
Bermudas constitute about two-ffths OF their
population, but the whites in the British colo
lies to the southwark hardly exceed 2 per
cent Of the inhabitants. The majority OF the
colored inhabitants are hardly capable oil
self-government, and because Of the latter
fact the Canadians would hardly be wiling
to accord the people of the new accesslohS
full electoral and representative rights.
The proposed annexations would prove a
drain upon the Dominion treasury, but would
result in a profitable trade between Canada
and its tropical friends. The great prosperity
which has come TO Porto Rico since the stars
and Stripes were raised over 1t would, al
though in a lesser measure, be experienced by
the British American tropics under free IN
terchange of products with Canada Their
prosperity might be greater were they an
nexed to this country, but the Canadian mar
ket itself is a great one and Canada can CON
sumo all the sugar, tobacco and other prod
nets that the British American tropics have to
