The Pacihstic Goad.

Tell body of spirited boys that the
susnicjon of pacifsm rests upon them ana
watch them disprove the insinuation. Inc
College of the City of New York, we
venture to predict, will provide a military
contingent much more representative ana
ardent than if her Socialists had not as
ISOLATED the institution with mawkish
and historical attack ON military training.
Such a reaction seems well advanced at
Princeton. where decision to establish no
active training corps, coupled with some
widely advertised undergraduate criticism
of preparedness, has helped to enroll al
most third of the student body IN the
Plattsburg encampment.
That is, we find it hard to believe that
Princeton's prominence in the matter OF
summer camp enrolment and the suspl~
cion of pacfsm which has attended her
controversy over student drills arc simply
coincidental. But whatever the cXplana-
ton. The Tribune as one Of her critics, IS
only too happy to herald her redemption.
II reminds us of the action of certain
militia regiment in the Spanish War
whose officers declined to lead it against
the enemy. With very little hesitation
majority of its members accepted an inyi-
tation to charge with the regulars, and
charge they did. with a will born Of hu-
initiation.
It is rather difficult to find fault with
pacifstic suggestion when it has an effect
of this sort. Let our anti-preparedness
friends rave to their hearts content; 1t
helps recruiting as nothing else can. Still,
/ it seems a pity that all these prospective
campers in Princeton should not now be
learning the manual of arms and other
rudiments of soldering preliminary to
their month of intensive training this
summer Such instruction, properly SUI
pervised as in sister institutions, would
save a lot of time.

Gotham's New Courthouse

tFr0r, IIc Boston HcrdId'
Sometimes another city sets such an exam
ME Of the way things should p be done C. at
the Boston way Of doing municipal business
seems by comparison almost praiseworthy
and commendablc. For more than a dozen
wears the city authorities Of New York have
been wrangling over the much-needed new
courthouse. and the latest stages of the con-
troversy afford the New York newspapers
more frequent occasion for comment than
even the much discussed change in the name
Of the Bowery.
The cid courthouse, a disreputable relic
Of Tweed Ring days, became inadequate many
years ago. One commission after another
worked on the problem of site for a new
building and finally a site was agreed
upon Then plans were accepted. thanks TO
the genius of Boston architect, that called
for a 100000 structure. Later these plans
we're trimmed so that the structure would be
built for 81 100000. Most Of the old build
ngs have been removed from the place where
il is TO be built, but the cost of taking care
of the site in its present condition is close to
100000 a year II will take four years at
the smallest estimate 20 complete the new
courthouse. And yet various commission,
and boards Of estimate and city government
committees keep on wranglng over details
Incidentally, the delay means a lot Of un-
necessary fees and expenses here and there,
bat they seem an inevitable part OF any mu-
licipal building programme. And already
New York business structures that were not
thought Of until after the new courthouse
project had long been agitated are beginning
TO look old

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to congratulate you on
your decision TO exclude liquor Advertising
from your columns. Your editorial stand on
the question is moderate, but an action like
this speaks louder than many printed words.
Personally, I have no doubt that complete
elimination Of the use Of alcohol is the only
ultimate solution worthy TO be considered.
How it can best be brought about is another
matter.
II has been we'll said that If alcohol were
foreign drug, wholly new 70 us, and one
tenth as much were known Of its balefui CT
fects where used as is actually known. there
could be no two opinions about the adyisa-
bility Of prohibiting It's Importation.
You have taken one more step ia the direc-
ton Of making Tho Tribune tho foremost

the censorships of past ages did immeasur-
ably more harm than good? Do they ever
stop to think that such censorships now
would do even more harm than they did IN
past ages, in comparison with what little
good they might possibly do? | do not
believe the people of this country are
ready to permit any censor to decide IN
advance what may be published for them
TO read or what pictures may be exhib-
tied to them. Our laws forbid the publ
cation of any libellous, obscene, indecent
immoral or impure picture or reading mat
ter. If any one does this he commits a
criminal offence and may be punished
/ therefor"
The people are no more ready for a
censorship now than they were when
Mayor Gaynor wrote his veto. In at least
ten states recently bills proposing censor
ships have been killed as foolish, or use
less. or both. The Cristman-Wheeler bill
at Albany should encounter no kinder fate.
The Assembly has already voted down the
Ahern bill of similar purport. Such bills
are dangerous in principle. If The author
tiles want to tax motion pictures, they
may be able to justify that on economic
lines. There is no possible justification for
an attempt to set up a censorship over
them in addition to what the law now pro-
tides

Sir: I want you to know that your edi-
torial of April /. containing the statement
that beginning with that date your paper
would refuse TO accept all liquor advertise
ments, caused me TO give up another paper
which carries liquor advertisements and be-
come a subscriber 10 The Tribune.

the signs of the times. Undoubtedly in time
the scales will fall from the eyes of others.

Sir: Your most excellent paper has al
