Easement and Others.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Sincere lovers Of Ireland, her tradl-
tons and her charms must grieve over the
attempted outbreak among the disafected
section, which seems to have lost all sense
of decency. justice and propriety 1t is to be
deplored that this section in Ireland has
allowed itself TO be hoodwinked by the eccen-
tricity and madness OF Roger Easement
man who, whatever his abilities were in for
mer years has been regarded by those who
know him well as more or less insane IN the
last few years, and who in turn has been
used BY the INSCRIPTIONS agitators OF his own
race here that are again merely pawns in the
hands of German conspirators, who are will
ing to use any and every means regardless Of
the sacrifice of innocent lives to further their
interests
Others. however. are 10 be blamed in this
matter also. an example of this being the
foolish utterances and sentiments of Bishop
ODwyer, of Limerick. The poor. deluded
fools who have allowed themselves in Ireland
10 join in the instruction in conjunction
with Easements arrival there have been urged
on 20 this by the paid Irish agitators in this
country. who are in the hands of their Ger
man friends, to whom they have sold them
selves, body and soul; but | believe that.
while the incident that has occurred is to be
regretted. the Irish people as whole are
loyal to their salt and realize fully all that
Great Britain has done in recent years for
the welfare of the country. and that this out
break will rally many to the flag of the en-
pire and to the defence of Ireland against
these worthless rioters. A.

A fragrant Attempt at Price Fixing.

District Attorney Swami deserves the
support OF the entire community IN MS
efforts to curb fragrant attempt at
monopolistic price fixing now pending pc
fore him. The trade publications OF the
CITY have placed in his hands the facts OF
an agreement among the photographers
of New York by which a uniform scale OF
nrices would be established for their work
According to resolutions passed by the
New York Trade Press Association, the
effort. if successful, would destroy COM
retition among the members of the Photo
Eugravers' Board of Trade and arbitrarily
fix a scale Of prices unrelated to supply
demand or cost.
If the facts are as alleged, there can be
no doubt that fragrant violation OF the
Donnellv act of New York State, pro-
hibiting monopolies and the fixing OF
nrices. is threatened. We understand that
This is the view of District Attorney
Swami. and that he has notified the Photo
Engravers' Board of Trade that grand
Jury proceedings will result unless every
element Of price fixing is eliminated from
their agreement. District Attorney Swami
very properly takes the ground that moth
ing less than a positive assurance OF tuil
and free competition will save the organi-
cation from the scope of the law.
The prompt and effective action by
Judge Swami is particularly praiseworthy
in view of the leniency with which parallel
attempts elsewhere have been viewed by
the local authorities. Chicago and thirty
six other cities have been covered by SINH
lar agreements, almost without protest.
Nowhere have the Federal authorities as
vet seen fit to act. 1t is to be hoped that
the example of New York County's prose-
cutting officer will set in motion machinery
which will once and for all put an end to
this widespread effort TO destroy every
semblance of competition in an important
trade

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Can any of your readers tell me
why. when take my dog out duly muzzled,
harncssed, licensed and leashed. should b.
an object of suspicion TO all policemen.
especially considering the fact that said
dogs actions on the street are much morn
dignifed and mannerly than those OF most

Also, can they tell me whether there il
any truth in the rumor that statute il -
be put on the books whereby all dogs must
in the future wear that relic of the DARK
Ages. the cage muzzle?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: read with indignation the letter of
J. A. Churchill in to-day's issue. lie sug-
gested the city build an underground drive
way for long-distance hauling.
Does Mr.. Churchill realize that a truck
man is a human being and appreciates sun
light and air as much as one who is more
fortunate and lives in Central Park West
And why should the residents OF Columbus
avenue have TO put up with more noise than
they already have to suit the convenience OF
Mr. Churchill?
Az he mentions the fact that other cities
have quiet residential sections, may | most
respectfully suggest that he move TO some
such city? 5. NJ T..

DISPOSE of all the water Westchester might
conceivably want.
Mr.. Cofey's bill specifically provides
that no state authority shall have such
power-the power the Conservation De-
partment now has. That Is. Westchester
wants to be able to take what it wants,
with nobody to hinder. Such proposal
is one to which Governor Whitman should
not listen for one moment. 1t is unjust
to this city, which certainly has paid
enough money for property in Westchester
and other upstate counties for its water
supply system to be immune from further
Numbering. The bill should be vetoed
promptly.

No Fear of Militarism.


Note the results Of our new recruiting. The
first month Melted fewer than 1000 soldiers
If we had been recruiting steadily at this
rate since Andrew Jackson was elected TO the
Presidency we should now have an army
equal in number 10 the present British volun-
teer army provided none of our recruits had
6ied meanwhile. As the oldest of them would
now be about 100 years old. that condition is
evidently inadmissible. Does this look as II
the average American was aching to seize
rife and lord it over his fellows? We COM
pare the British army because 1t is recruited
most like ours. or course, we do not need an
army Of millions in time OF peace, but com
parison with any other army on earth IN any
phase and from any standpoint, makes our
military equipment look like high light in
farce-comedy.
The notion that We are I'm danger from
nilitarism is about as empty as the idea that
government manufacture VIII work mira
ces in providing defence. One OF the best
known government arsenals was recently re
ported as being liable 20 produce only eighty
rifles a day." II this arsenal had been pilng
up rifles at that rate since twenty years be-
fore our nearby neighbors whipped detAch-
ment Of an earlier British army at Lexington
and Concord il would now have just enough
rifles 10 equip the above army Of to-day with
one rifle apiece and a rife is said to last
from one TO six weeks on the firing line.
This fear Of American militarism and faith
in government manufacture are twin notions
so gauzy that belief in them becomes almost
test Of ordinary intelligence, like rooted
conviction that the earth is fiat They all
belong in the same bats nest. the same cav
ern OF mental gloom and vacuity

SOME ELECTION FIGURES
History Bearing on Justice Hughes's Avail
ability as Vote Getter.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the discussion Of public questions
the people are entitled to have the facts in
stead of being forced to be contented with
The unsupported assertions of any man.
Therefore | would like space in your valu-
able paper to correct statement in the in
terview given out by Governor Whitman to
the newspapers on Monday.
The Governor says:
81 have no doubt whatever that il vote
could be taken among the Republicans in this
slate Justice Hughes would lead any other
candidate at least to l."
This is not only an unsupported assertion.
but the Governor has done something which
man in his position ought not to do. He
has drawn his material for this statement
entirely from his own Imagination. The vot-
ors of the State of New York have spoken
themselves upon the subject of the strength
and popularity of Governor Hughes in this
state. and they have told an altogether differ
cnt story For the benefit of your readers,
for the enlightenment of the public and for
the correction Of the Governors false i'm
pressons, | wish to submit few historical
facts.
Governor Hughes after he had served a
term of two years as Governor was a can
ddate for denomination and reelection. The
convention nominated him and placed him at
the head of the ticket. The voters placed
him at the foot of the ticket. In the election
