JUSTICE FISH LEADS THE
ART Of FISHING SOME

ATLANTA, Ca, May 12.-Led by
Justice William H. Fish of the supreme
court of Georgia, an umber of promi-
nent lawyers, judges and public Off
Gals of Atlanta have laid aside the
ancient and royal pastime of golf and
taken up the gentle art of fishing as
means of quieting their nerves and
resting their tired brains.
Almost any sunshiny day at the
clubs near Atlanta can be found the
notables seated on the banks or riding
in boats on the lake, casting their
flies for the festive trout.

country, and to the extent of being
criminally negligent of their own
sons, in that the destiny of themselves
and the country are to be placed in
tie hands of the citizens of tomorrow.
And right here we are constrained
to say that it is well to note that
father has a three fold responsibility,
to the state, to their sons, and to
themselves. Thus they owe duty to
all three if they are to be classed as
good citizens. And again it may be
said, if they don't look well after their
boys and in the right way some one
else will look after them and in the
wrong way, or their boys may look
after themselves which too frequently
means the same thing. The question
then should arise with the father, am
looking after my boy as l should?
Have I taught him to walk in the mar
row way to respect and observe law
and order. at all times having a due
regard for the rights and privileges of
others, have 1 directed him in the
paths of virtue and honor, to love,
honor and reverence his mother, pro
tect and cherish womanhood?
That the public has a right to ask
these questions cannot be gainsaid.
Further the public has a right to in
quire: Will the influence of these
men citizens of tomorrow be in the
right direction? Because it shares
the rights and privileges of citizenship
with them, and, sharing, must suffer or
prosper as those rights are exercised
As individual members of the public
fathers are bound to ask themselves if
they have looked after their boys in
the right way, because if they have
not they will be asked why not, if
they lay claim to good citizenship for
every law that of recent years that is
being put on our statute books looks
to more complete accounting of the
stewardship as pertains to his son as
a new citizen with all the rights of
franchise and citizenship.
In considering the citizenship of to-
morrow properly prepared to dis
charge the duties of such, there are
some facts that induce us to optimistic
views. Statistics tell us in figures that
the world is growing better, that vice
and crime is on the decline, that we
are progressing morally and materi-
ally. Political economists find AMI
improved trend in things, an uplift in |
things pertaining to civic and social
advancement. Theologians say that
that there is a greater religious Juror
now than there was ten years ago, and
that there are a greater number of fol-
lowers of the doctrine of fair play
and the square DEAL" while civic
like leaven is softening
up the whole lump of politics.
But, be these things as they are or
may be, there is but one thing for the
father to do, and that is to make sure
that his boys with whom he is soon to
divide his birth right, live in love of
all that is best, in manly independ-
ence, in respect for law and authority,
and in devotion to noble ideals. Such
because it guarantees
self-control, is the best guarantee of
capacity for self-government.

WHY NOT SWAP HORSES?
A Balky One Should Be Abandoned Even
in Midstream.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have never seen abundant wisdom in
the proposition that we should not swap
horses in the midst of stream. 1t all de-
pends upon the circumstances.
II horse balks, it is the part of wisdom to
bring in another horse,' even though it be
in midstream With balky horse everything
is in jeopardy; for if horse once balks he
will do it again, and is rarely if ever any
good thereafter And midstream is no place
to try 20 break him, especially if it should be
a swollen and rising stream, when the rocks
and shoals are not visible and the ford can
not easily be traced by reason of the abnor-
NAL conditions.
Under such circumstances there is no wis
dom in wasting time with an unfaithful horse.
He should be discarded instanter, before the
already swollen stream rises higher the peril
becomes greater and it is too late to change
horses, and all is lost by reason of the failure
promptly to bring in another horse that is
faithful and true.
When a young man I was fond of good
horses. Ny father had fine pair. One day
he and brother Of mine and had driven
them some fifteen miles to a double-seated
buggy, with a valuable dog following behind
All had gone smoothly till we came to ford a
river which was some three hundred yards
wide, with a rough and rocky bottom and a
swift current
In the midst of the river one of the horses,
much to our surprise and bewiderment, sud
denly stopped, and we spent half-hour try
ing to make him go, but failed. Finally we
unhitched and turned loose the worthless
beast, and the other faithful animal alone
speedily pulled the vehicle through the strong
current of the big, broad river and landed US
in safety.
Meanwhile, however, the faithful dog had
watching and waiting" for us during the
halfhou that we had spent in futile effort
to make the balky horse pull
1t was a cold day, and the poor dog, being
wet and lying on a cold rock waiting for us,
had got so cold and stiff that when he tried
to follow us further he was unable TO swim
and was drowned before reaching the shore,
and before we had time to help him out.
The faithless horse saved himself, but the
faithful dog was lost. If We had Immediately
dispensed with the balky horse, instead of
consuming time in fruitless endeavor to
make him pull, the valuable dog would have
been saved and nothing of value would have
been lost, because horse that is so faithless
is not worth his feed.
Moral: Get rid quickly Of your balky horses

City Planning at Last.

Ie is welcome news that the city zone
plan has passed the Board of Estimate and
is now in force. Considering the scope of
the measure and the countless interests
affected, opponents were amazingly few in
numbers and faults relatively unimportant
The issue reflects high credit on the ex-
perts of the districting commission who
labored toward the formulation of the
plan.
Perhaps the most encouraging point is
the open-minded fashion in which the re-
form has been received by all concerned,
real estate men, builders, bankers and the
public. Americans have been credited with
possessing a wilful individualism that op-
posed any community action, however
needful, which curbed mans freedom to
do as he liked with his own. Go-as-you-
please has been the only watchword. Now
that a wiser mind has prevailed in the i'm
portant matter of city planning to the
eventual extinguishment Of hodge-podge
building, we may hope for further prog
ress. Bill-boards on scenes of natural
beauty might well be the next item on the
list. The new spirit is admirable and
should flourish.

"Not Concerned"

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In his speech before the League TO
Enforce Peace, in Washington, May p, the
President said Of the war IN Europe: with
its causes and its objects we are nos con-
cerned. The obscure fountains from which
its stupendous food has burst forth we are
not interested TO search for or explore"
This cold-blooded statement was read with
horror by reasoning people, who hold that
humanity's highest hopes are based on ex-
ploring the connection between effects and
their causes. Indignant letters to the editor
appeared in countless papers to voice that
horror. Yet if for moment we search for
and explore" the Obscure fountains from
which the stupendous food of the Presi
dents talk sometimes bursts forth all be-
comes clear. There is no call for Mortified
Indignation.

said: Europe has set of primary inter
ests which 10 US have none or a very remote
relation. Hence she must be engaged in fire.

perial necessity, and the concessions on
both sides were made on that understand
ing only. But it is obvious that Mr.. Red
mond never understood that the interim
government of Ireland was virtually to
take the form Of martial law, with an
Irish minister supported by "a capable mil
itary officer, with a sufficient force to
maintain unquestionable order" 1t is OBJ
yious. too, that he never expected the per-
manent exclusion of six northern counties
or reduction Of the representation Oh
Ireland in the Imperial Parliament.
If. therefore, the members of the Cabinet
were debating the details Of this scheme II
is well that their deliberations were cut
short at this stage, for it is inconceivapie
that the Irish Nationalists could by any
means have been persuaded to accept
measure so utterly unlike anything they
we're led to expect. The only hope lies IN
the reopening of negotiations, but that
possibility depends on the will of Mr.. Red-
mond. His patience is nearly exhausted,
and his influence in Ireland has suffered
50 serious a decline that it may be doubted
whether. even with his help, the present
government can be saved.

The Hurricane Season.
fFrom The Washinoton Post.

With one West Indian storm already re-
corded on the Louisiana and Alabama coasts
this month, another of less intensity now ex-
Charleston, and a third sighted far off at
sea, it may be said that the hurricane season
OF 1916 has been ushered in under more
than ordinarily favorable auspices from a
hurricane standpoint
These tropical storsm, which sometimes
work great devastation TO the districts
visited, are peculiar in their nature, differ
ing from all others that are experienced in
This country. The months of their greatest
frequency are July, August and September,
although they are occasionally experienced
both earlier and later.
All have their origin in the tropical seas
surrounding the West Indies, from which
they derive their names. Their onward move
ment varies from a few miles a day 10 a
much greater rate of advance but they
sometimes show scarcely any progress for
days at time and occasionally seem to
retreat. The line of movement forms a
Characteristic curve, customarily a little
is reached. when curve 10 the north or
east suddenly sets in. Thus the danger of
visitation over the land area of the United
States is dependent upon the point at which
the re-curve begins; if this is delayed until
the Atlantic coast is reached, or the Gulf
Of Mexico well penetrated, damage is bound
20 ensue.
At the height Of these storms the wind
often reaches and occasionally exceeds a
,elocity OF 100 miles an hour. During the
first hurricane of the present month wind
velocity Of 1O4 miles an hour was registered
~ Mobile, and similar velocites prevailed
when Galveston was wrecked in 1900, al
though the immense loss OF life chen ex-
perienced was produced by :he so-callcd
".idal wave driven in by the winds. The
fact that these storms follow comparatively
definite paths is more hnted at By the ex-
perience of the little town Of Indianola,
Tex which was twice wiped from tho map
By West Indian hurricanes.
