FOR FOREIGN MARKETS
Enactment of Webb Bill Necessary TO Ps
nit Us to Get After-War Trade.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some dispatches from Washingn
give the impression that the failure Of n,
Senate to adopt as an amendment TO TIE
revenue bill yesterday the Webb bill a.
thorizing cooperation among exporter
means that this important measure 's'
killed. On the contrary it merely goes over
for consideration by the Senate at the SEES
sion beginning in December. The House
passed the bill b. the overwhelming major
ity Of 200 to 25.
A dispatch in one newspaper says that ~
Webb bill "makes lawful acts that are .''
clared TO be conspiracies 30 restraint q
trade by the Clayton act.' Nothing e'si
be more misleading. The Clayton sci va
carefully restricted to domestic trade
order that American exporters might have !
free hand in competition with the rest d
the world. The Webb bill. Endorsed by ~
Federal Trade Commission after an e.
haustive inquiry, is designed simply to r.

Governor Folks Way of Putting It.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In editing Woodrow Wilson nobody
belonging to the human race can come within
cunshot Of that exubcrant offcohoder, the
Honorable Joseph Wingate Folk, of Mis-
souri,
When Folk had settled down into an office
under this Administration, with handsome
salary attached he declared at a banquet
that Mr. Wilson was the greatest President
the country has known since Thomas Jeffer-
SON This was doing pretty well; but now
Folk has broken out violently again in even
q grander strain.
At the Lincoln exercises last Monday at
Hodgenville, KY, Folk actually told the world
that Woodrow Wilson is "the successor Of
Lincoln in the affections of the American
people"

Not Enough Publicity.

"The infant mortality in St. Louis says
golfers" "is the lowest of any large city
in the United States; it is noticeably lower
in the summer months, and this notwith-
standing that st. Louis is not considered
by most of us as a summer resort" This
fortunate condition is attributed to the
careful work over period of twelve years
Of the st. Louis Pure Milk Commission,
backed up by public sentiment.
What ST. Louis has done other cities
can do. New York for several years has
been building up a careful system Of milk
inspection, which unquestionably has done
much to protect it's people. But milk is
not the only article in the city's food sup
ply which needs official safeguarding. In
one notable respect recently the city au-
thorities have failed TO take the most sim
pie and ready means TO protect a large
section Of the public-that ever-present
group which must eat its meals in hotels
and restaurants.
Health Department inspectors made ex-
tensive Investigations Of conditions in res
taurant kitchens and larders, grading
them according to the degree Of cleanliness
and wholesomeness there discovered.
Thereafter orders for Improvements were
issued where the department deemed them
necessary, and reinspections made, on
which in some instances re-ratings were
based. But neither after the first in
spcctions nor thereafter were the eating
places named and their ratings made pub
lie. The public was told, in bulletins, that
CERTAIN restaurant kitchens were discovered
tcste unclean, unsanitary. and other places

LEADERS" Who Don't Lead.

The public is indebted to Mr.. P. j. Shea,
one of the professional organizers of the
Amalgamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, for the clear
est and most direct explanation yet given
of the reasons for calling the new strike
here. This is the biggest and most i'm
portant strike we have ever had" he de-
clared to a group of the strikers Oh Thurs
day night. 1--WE must win it. If Shonts
and Hedley beat US we might as well bind
up the remains of the Amalgamated and
bury them. If we lose here we will be
jumped on everywhere That is why VIC
tory is absolutely necessary in our New
York fight"
There is no beating about the bush in
that. This is a battle, according to Mr..
Shea, not for any advantages to the men
affected, not for better wages or shorter
hours-the majority of the Interborougn
employees have proved they are satisfied
with what they've got by sticking to theiy
Jobs, and the surface car workers already
IdU al 81 blll dAlDll lttllltlll Qllutl hIlIll
they could negotiate for betterments- but
for the Amalgamated. Its members must
strike, taking a chance Of losing all they
had gained and their very jobs, so that
the Amalgamated might not be Jumped
on everywhere" The public must be in
convenienced, put into hazard of limb and
life, exploited to the uttermost, to save
unionism as its professional organizers UNI
derstand it.
Did the men on the cars understand
this? Did they see the issue as Mr. Shea
saw it? The facts in the case indicate
that they did and rejected his notion OF
what was best for them. A majority of
the elevated and subway workers-prac-
tically all the old and tried employees, who
have responsible work and well earned
seniority privileges to give up
their places in order to uphold the hands
Of Mr.. Shea and his colleagues who cor
game" this city, that city and the other
city. Probably not more than half the
workers on the surface lines-men who
nave less gOOd JOBS ana more real grew
ances as to working conditions-were will
ing to risk what they had to save thu
Amalgamated from burial. The strike is
moribund, and everybody seems to realize
it but its instigators.
Undoubtedly this proves, in the judg-
ment of some, lamentable lack of "class
consciousness" and 'class loyalty" on the
part Of majority of the traction workers
here On the other hand, it appears to
prove that the men have plenty of good
common sense and a tolerably wholesome
distrust Of agitators who carry the class
contest to point beyond the justifca-
ton of facts and the desires of the men
directly concerned.

The Roll of Honor.

The Tribune published on Wednesday
last list of the Senators who had demon
strated their moral courage and preserved
their sef-respect by voting against the
stop-watch legislation demanded by the
railroad brotherhoods. We used a press
association summary of the vote and are
sorry to learn that it was in error in omit
ting the name Of Senator Lawrence Y.
Sherman, of Illinois, and substituting
therefor the name of Senator Carroll S..
Page, of Vermont. Mr.. Sherman bitterly
attacked the Senates surrender to the die
tation of President Wilson and the broth
erhood leaders He also voted against the
passage Of the "eight-hour" act.
Other Republican Senators than the
twenty-six whose names are recorded on
the Roll of Honor would have voted
against the "eight-hour" act outrage if
they had been present and impaired. "The
Congressional Record" shows that these
Republicans were paired against the meas
ure:
Thomas B. Catron and Albert b.
Fall, New Mexico.
Clarence d. Clark, Wyoming.
Nathan Golf, West Virginia.
Warren G.. Harding, Ohio.
Henry Cabot Lodge, Massachusetts.
Henry +. Lipptt, Rhode Island.
Carroll s. Page, Vermont.
Miles Poindexter, Washington.
Charles +. Townsend, Michigan.
George Sutherland, Utah.
John d. Works, California.
Thirty-eight Republican Senators either
voted against the act or were paired
against it. The only Republican to sup
port it was Robert NJ. La Toilette, of Wis
cousin. This is a record of which the Re-
publican party can well be proud-a rec
ord which will be heard from the country
over before the present political campaign
ends.

The Weapons OF Caesar.

II one of Caesars legionaries who
fell in the "paciflcation" Of Gaul
could be walked from his long sleep
and placed In the trenches, he would
find one or two familiar things, even
If he failed to recognize the land
scape. The appalling racket, the
bursting shells, the spectacle of men
struck down by invisible agencies of
death-these would be new and awe
some. But the helmet would have a
rather familiar feeling on his brows,
and If he took part in charge he
would show himself most efficient
man with the trench knife"
For this new weapon is Just the
old Roman broadsword revived and
brought down to date. The blade
is a bit shorter than that to which
the legionary was accustomed-15
inches instead of IS. But the point
and edge are keen, the steel is good,
the hilt is plain, and the injunction
to thrust at the face is as sound as
ever. With this accustomed weap-
on in his grip and cloak over his
left arm in lieu of shield, Caius of
the Tenth Legion would be nasty
warrior to meet on the chalk knells
of ampagne.-Chicago Journal

CALEB POWERS ONCE

Washington, Feb. 20.-Caleb Pow
ers, Congressman from the Eleventh
District of Kentucky, is now fresh
man law student at the George Wash
ington Law School in this city. Three
years ago Powers started the law
course, but was informed by the col
lege authorities that his preparatory
education was insufficient. He ac-
cordingly dropped out, and has been
going to night school to correct this
deficiency.
While formerly a student, the law
class was hearing lecture by Daniel
Thew Wright, ex-Judge of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, when the latter
called to the attention of the class
the fact that the G0ebeI case had.
brought out strongly the legal re-
sponsibility of persons who instigate
the commission of crime. He was
interrupted by tall form rising in
the audience, and Caleb Powers, in a
soft, Southern drawl, remarked to
Judge Wright" There is lot about
that case, Judge, that you don't
know, and l advise you not to use 1t
as an illustration to this class until
you know more about the facts. !
