Defeat Him!

On March 9 Of this year Repre-
sentative John +. Carew Of the 18th
District sent out to constituents, un-
der his frank, letter warning such
of them as might have business in
Europe to keep off vessels of bellig-
erent nations. He told them to sgo
in an American ship if you have to
90 to sea-" declaring that any man
who sailed in a vessel Of belligerent
registry was guilty of reasonable
disregard of the supreme patriotic
duty which every man owes to his
country" He added that such dis
regard would be likely to embroil
this country in the European war,
and said he would be "inclined to re-
gard with Indifference the fate of
any man disregarding this warning"
This same John F. Carew, who
thus urged his constituents to abro
gate their rights as American citi-
zens and put himself on record as
willing to regard with Indifference
the fate of any who failed so to give
up his rights, is a candidate for re-
election to the Congress of the
United States on the Democratic
ticket. There should be no doubt
about the result. Mr.. Carew has not
been a conspicuous member of Con-
gress. But if his usefulness had
been ten times what it was he
should be defeated for this one act
of his career-the act of an Ameri-
can who showed himself willing TO
foreswear Americanism.

Unshackling Regulation

Regulation of public service cor
porations by the Public Service
commissions has not heretofore been
especially successful when remedial
orders have been sufficiently impor-
tant to be contested in the courts.
The court review, the writ of certio-
rari, was the corporations favorite
weapon in fighting rate reductions
or orders for extension or better
ment of service. Case after case has
been sent back TO the commission in
this district for rehearing, involving
vast expense and delay, to the great
detriment of the public business. In
practical effect the commissions or
dcrs in many instances were thus
hamstrung, and the public has suf-
fcred.
Under a recent decision Of the
Court Of Appeals, undoubtedly one
Of the most important and, 10 the
lay mind, one Of the most enlight-
ened decisions in all the litigation
produced by the work of these bod
les, there will be a great deal less
Of this beating the commission in
the courts" The court held that
the commission had a right to de-
eide what was just and reasonable
in making its orders, and that an
order could be annulled only for the

Pollyanna Passes

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why not let Pollyanna so glad
ly on her way without pressing the
point that to be joyful one must be a
fool? | have so far resisted the temp
tation to join the throng, but just to
prove what a hideous example can do
| hereby state that personally | agree
with the ancient who said in his Wis
dom, Count no man happy until he is
dead" further believe no woman
happy after she is dead, for then eyes
can truly see.
But the fact that 4 few Of us don't
agree that "All's right with the
world" doesn't seem to prove much as
Icing as the great unthinking ma ority
call for the Glad STUFF Anodyne. Some
where have recently seen clever
skit on the oh, be joyful literary out
put ranging from Browning to Lem
Stratton Porter which camo nearer
making me joyful than thought posi-
bic. Where is our sense OF proportion,
our love OF truth and, above all. our
sense Of humor! l. MN. ,,

A Meaningless Phrase

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There are lot of sentimental,
unthinking people who almost weep as
they reverently pronounce the shib-
boleth, ale kept us out Of war; and
many good Republicans, either because
Of their own convictions, or in many
cases those of their wives, men with
sons or relations Of fighting age, intend
10 vote for a Democrat for the first
time in their lives, not because they
believe he is fitted for the job, but be-
cause she kept US out of war"
Cannot something be done to show
these people that Mr.. Wilson has done
nothing of the kind, that his vacillat-
ing, timorous, un-American attitude
brought us nearer 20 being involved in
the European fracas than would the
stern demand for a strict observance
of our rights and a protest against the
violation Of the rights OF others from
stronger President?
Does any one doubt for moment that
the men, women and children who went
down with the Lusitania would be alive
to-day, or that we would still be at
peace with the European nations, had
an ultimatum been sent to Germany
early in the war, such as was sent to
England several years ago by the stiff-
necked President of that time?
There was far greater possibility of
our becoming involved in war with
England after Grover Cleveland's cele-
brated message on the Venezuelan
question than our now being drawn into
the European conflict because of any at
titude we might assume. except that Of
cowardice.
Germany certainly has her hands full,
and the Allies are in much the same
predicament-
Those Of US who are old enough to
remember the Venezuelan message will
recall the thrill of pride that went
through this land when it was sent,
such a thrill as has not followed any
act of the present Administration.
II should be made clear to every one
that this slogan is nothing more than
a phrase that sounds very lovely, but
which means nothing.

Discomfort on the Border

prom The New Orleans Tines-P'cdvine)
Though the commands sent TO the
border were better cared for than any
other large body Of American troops
has ever been, and while the training
unquestionably has been for their own
and the countrys good, the experience
does not seem to have stimulated the
popular interest in the Guard service
hoped for. There were complaints in
some regiments over the delay Of pay.
Units held long in the state moblllza-
ton camps have grown disconnected
and restless. inevitably there were
many, enlisted in the hope of active
service. who tired Of the camp mo-
notony and worried over the plight OF
dependents they left at home. The
"red tape involving delays of equip
ment and muster out, the failure OF
assurances that families would be
cared for and the delay in distribut-
ing the relief voted by Congress for
dependents have created resentment.
These grievances may be swiftly
forgotten when the Guardsmen who
cherish them come home again and
find the home conditions not so bad
as they feared. But the evidences OF
present discomfort are noted in many
quarters. The Mississippi regiment, in
camp at Jackson, reports many en-
listed men absent without leave
Several hundred members OF a Nir-
gina regiment held in its mobilization
camp "raided" the state fair the other
day, an exploit attributable to rest
lessness and dissatisfaction. Members
of Brooklyn regiment sent home sew
eral weeks ago have complained bit
terly because their muster out has
been unduly delayed. Another "symp-
tom" Of the popular feeling is reported
from New York City, where National
Guard recruiting agency, whose main
tenance cost $4,000 last month, sue
ceeded in recruiting only 372 men, the
cost per recruit being SGT, where the
cost of recruiting for the regular army
was only $40 per enlistment.

Oh, for a Deweyl

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: President Wilson has posed as
the protagonist and protector of the
neutral powers; but what kind of neu-
trality was that when a vessel Of the
United States Navy stood by while a
vessel Of neutral country was sunk
on the high seas by belligercnt? Nay
more, the vessel Of our navy meekly
and obligingly got out of the way when
told to do so by the raider! Was that
neutrality II looks to me more like
completely before the fact. | don't
know the name of the commander Of
the destroyer, but I'm sure it wasn't
Dewey, or Farragut, or anything like
that. Had it been he would have
placed his vessel between the subma-
rinc and its neutral victim and dared
il TO fire. ID. w. BARKER.

Powdered Coal for Locomotives
(From Engineering and ContrdcfHoJ

From Engineering and ContrdcftHoJ
In spite of ordinances designed to
reduce the great tonnage OF SCOT that
descends annually upon our cities, few
manufacturing municipalities can yet
claim to have secured marked Keller
from the "smoke nuisance" But re-
lief is apparently in sight, and from
a totally unexpected source. We re-
fer TO the successful development OF
the process of burning powdered coal
for generating steam in locomotive and
other boilers.
Pulverized till IS per cent OF it pass
rs a screen having 200 meshes to the
inch. soft coal" gives an almost smoke
less fame when blown into hrebox
with air. The quantity Of air is auto
matically regulated by the quantity OF
powdered coal, so that careless hring'
such as is now inevitable with hand
stocking, cannot occur.
Between Chicago and Milwaukee the
Chicago & Northwestern placed IN SER
vice a wear ago a passenger locomotive
equipped for burning pulverized coal
II has been thoroughly tested in active
service and has demonstrated a marked
saving in fuel. According TO tests pup
Ushed in "The Railway Age Gazette,
this locomotive evaporated l3 per cent
more water per pound Of coal and con-
sumed IS per cent less coal on the runs
between Chicago and Milwaukee than
was required with a similar locomotive
fred with lump coal in the ordinary
manner. Moreover, much cheaper
grade of coal was used on the loco
motive burning pulverized coal.
In firing up the cold locomotive only
750 pounds of powdered coal were re-
ouired. as against LOO pounds Of lump
coal. But an even greater point in Ia
vor of powdered coal is the ability TO
shut off the fire entirely while stand
ing still. Thus, the fire can be entirely
shut off for about half an hour, yet in
FIVE minutes after it is started again
the boiler is up TO full pressure. This
saving In fuel while standing idle
makes powdered coal particularly de-
sirable for switching locomotives.
The switching engines in the freight
wards of cities and the engines that
are getting up steam or standing with
banked fires cause very large part Of
the "smoke nuisance" that has been so
greatly deplored in all large cities. 1t
would seem row that, as far as loco
motives are concerned, this. nuisance
need no longer be tolerated. We go
further and predict that all large steam
power plants in cities will eventually
use powdered coal not only because 1t
will prove to be more economical, but
because a smokeless city can be Sc
cured in this way.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

Sir; A trip into the fat and compla-
cent Middle West at this critical time
of the national campaign would be an
eye opener for any fervid Eastern pa
triot who believes national honor and
the future wellbeing of the country
hang upon the triumph of either Mr..
Hughes or Mr.. Wilson. I have just
been across half the continent. When
set out for the mid-country it was
with keen curiosity to learn what of
the issues was most important in in
clining the voters toward the rival can
didates.
1t came to me as real shock that
people are talking little politics. and,
aside from the politicians themselves,
taking little interest in the campaign.
From New York to st. Louis buffet car
talk brought forth but one political
turn. Then the discussion was mild.
Business, the world series and automo-
biles were the conversational topliners
wherever l found men congregated
during my ten days west of the Allie
ghanies.
A SNUG prosperity has engulfed your
midWesterners. In that prosperity
believe | found the answer to the Will
son drift, which on the surface is ap-
parent out that way. The slogan "He
kept US out of war" is a very potent
one. Prosperity is easily visible
throughout the Mississippi Valley, and
the heirs Of this abundance do not wish
to be disturbed from their enjoyment
of it by anything that hints of war.

lions by reports | heard in st. Louis

Too Late

President Wilson's agreement to
reexamine the circumstances under
which the Federal Civil Service Com
mission adopted policy of secrecy
as to its acts in order to avert "such
criticism Of the Administration as
would seriously embarrass it" in
wolves no risk for this campaign. If
the matter progresses at its present
rate the records in question might
possibly be open to public scrutiny
about the end of 1918-when Mr..
Wilson won't be worrying about cam
paign issues greatly.
Up to date the President has com
pletely supported the remarkable
cover-up policy of his appointees in
a case where the Administration is
charged with violating the spirit, if
not the letter, of the civil service law
to create political patronage. On
May Z, 1913, President Wilson issued
an order for examinations to be held
in order to select fourth class post
masters. The order involved nearly
$4,000 postmasters. Soon after the
appointments allegations were made
to the National Civil Service Reform
League that Democrats had landed
jobs, in many cases, over the heads
of Republicans who had obtained
higher ratings in the examinations.
The league sought the facts. For
three years now it has been seeking
the facts. 1t has been put off on
one excuse or another every time it
attempted TO get access to these
records-records which are freely
thrown open to the inspection of the
public by every state and municipal
civil service commission, and records
which have never before been kept
secret by the Federal Commission,
save for one brief period in 1899.
Finally, early this year, Mr.. Nc
Ilhenny, president of the Federal
Commission by grace Of Mr.. Wilson,
fatty told representatives Of the Re-
form League that they couldn't have
the eligible lists resulting from these
examinations, for if the records were
made public it might lead to "such
criticism Of the Administration as
would seriously embarrass it," Per-
sonal appeal to Mr.. Wilson brought
no reversal of this decision, and fur
ther appeals have only now elected
his consent to determination.
Obviously, if three years have
brought no progress toward making
public these important facts, the
