Investigation Needed.

The Panama-Pacifc Exposition Commits
sion was a creation of the Legislature.
The Legislature for this year having ad-
iourned, the only authorities competent to
audit and investigate the bills of the COM
mission are the Governor and the Con
troller.
Apparently everybody in official life who
went to San Francisco had very good
time. There were dinners and receptions;
there were special china and silver SER
vices for the New York building; there
were four automobiles maintained at the
expense of the state; music, flowers, en-
graved invitations and special place cards
rraced the entertainments arranged by
high-salaried "social secretary'-all paid
for by the humble taxpayers here at home.
II was not even necessary to go TO San
Francisco to spend the states money, for
Mr. Bussey managed to let go OF SO or 81
of il each time he had breakfast at the
Knickerbocker, while his dinners cost the
taxpayers almost twice as much.
1t is to be hoped that the fact that Gov
ernor Whitman and his personal and off,
cial families had special train to the
Coast, which cost some $4,000, and the
further fact that Controller Travis, his
wife, two daughters and his personal sec
retary travelled to San Francisco at the
states expense will not interfere with the
rigorous investigation of these expendi-
lures. Both officials are pledged to an
administration of rigid economy. Both are
candidates for reelection. Both must see
that their duty to the people demands a
complete and unsparing inquiry into the
expenditures of the commission, especially
where the bills, as in the case Of the Gov
ernor's party, are unitemized-blind.

A Question of Motives.

A few days ago The Tribune was re-
buked by Mr.. J. Horace Mcfarland, presi-
dent of the American Civic Association
He had taken umbrage at some remarks on
a series of papers read at the recent meet
ing of the American Electrochemical So
ciety. and in a somewhat superclious tone
asked whether The Tribune cared to learn
"the truth" about the use of water power
at Niagara Falls, or was content to found
its opinion upon the statements of those
who have a pocket interest" and "are
seemingly unable to take any view thar
does not bear toward their own ultimate
financial advantage If it was merely
concerned to back those with "a direct per
sonal interest" he had nothing more to
say; if. however, it was at all interested
in getting at the facts" and really wanted
"the iChole truth" he was our man and
would "be glad to be Of some service"
His letter was duly published under the
title Water Power and Scenery" and with
the intimation that "the possessor of the
whole truth offers his services" Mr.. Nc
Farland is now offended at what he appre-
hends to be the rejection Of his disinter-
ested offer. or "in no sense courteous sc-
ceptance," and he tells US it is with real
regret" that he sees The Tribune sticking
without Investigation to the opinions II
expressed on the relation of cheap water
power to the problems of preparedness.
The assumption that an opinion which
does not coincide with that of the presi-
dent of the American Civic Association
must Of necessity have been formed with
out investigation fortifies the impression
that he holds himself to be or oficio the
sole custodian of the truth. But even if
this were so there is no justification
for the belief that his conception of the
problem has not been duly considered. 1t
cannot be truly said of Mr.. Mcfarland
that he has hidden his candle under a
bushel or that he has been too obscure
and difident in opposing what he doubtless
believes TO be q horrible conspiracy among

Sir: The total amount Of contributions re-
ceived 70 date by the American Committee
for Training in Suitable Trades the Manned
Soldiers Of France Is s76,22s79. The follow
ing information has just reached me from
my committee in Paris in regard to the WORK
Of the committee:
In the Grand Pslais the following trades
~. nov b.ino taught to several hundred
mon:
In the right wing-1. shoemnking '"i'n
harness and saddery); 2. locksmith ana gen
eral repair shop TO this we expect 10 add
department for repairing artificial hmos OF
every description; 3. earpenterlng, ineiuolns
wood turning, polishing and so forth; a. TIN.
smithing; 3, tailoring, with special iadieS
tailoring: 6, wigmaking and hairdressing
You will see from the above that we pay
special attention to such trades as will enable
those who learn them to utilize the same upon
II cir return to their villages as all are agreed
TINT il 4, most advisable TO induce these peo-
pie TO return to their rural homes, not alone
for their own good. but also for the general
welfare of the nation
The left wing is divided into classes where
the following trades are being taught: l.
bookkeeping, stenography and typewritng
writing with the left hand to those Who
have lost the use Of the right; 2, industrial
designing; 8, general instruction in French
and where advisable in English.
We have been very fortunate in securing
the services of DR.. G. Borne, who has for sew
eral wears been The medical examiner OF two
Of the largest accident insurance companies IN
France and who has devoted long years.to the
question of reeducating those suffering from
the result of accidents. He is the general or
| technical director and has under him expert
creed instructors or foremen in each Of the
trades.
Besides this We have as head Of the admin
istrative department Lieutenant Osmopt,
whose services as one Of the board OF di-
rectors of a large French company have gwen
him considerable experience in the direction
of affairs He himself is victim of the war,
having had his left arm amputated. and was
decorated for bravery with the Legion d'Hon-
neur and Croix de Guerre. He has under him
another officer (arm amputated) and an adju-
tant Oeg amputated).
In a house given free at 2S Quai de Billy
there will be several schools besides the dor
mitories and refectcry necessary for housing
from sixty to eighty manned soldiers.
II has been brought to the notice OF the
committee that in many instances crippled
soldier has, notwithstanding his physical in
frmties, become expert and could compete
with any workman in the trade.
/ wish could put it into the hearts Of some
of our public spirited citizens to enable us to
increase the number Of our schools. II costs
from $1,000 to $500, according to the size,
to install a school.

The Etiology Of Crime.

"The boys said they plotted the robbery
over a box of cigarettes and mapped out
their future activities from cheap novels"
So the story runs, and the hint is sufficient
to supply the inevitable opening: Cigar
cites and cheap novels led to the downfall
of two messenger boys" and so forth. Post
hoe, ergo propter hoe, handy moral and
another argument against smoking!
A great many bad boys, and some tol-
erably good ones, have smoked cigarettes.
A few of them manage to escape the peni-
tentiary, but let one be caught in mischief,
and the first question is, Does he smoke?
If he does, there are students of manners
who at once accept the circumstance as a
sufficient explanation of his delinquency. 1t
never occurs to them that the case may be
otherwise that the boy who INDUCES in
robbery may be so corrupt as to make no
scruple of indulging in cigarettes. The
Opposite process is always recognized as
obvious and inevitable. But why?
Do boys who eat candies never go
wrong? Has a robbery ever been plotted
over box of chocolates? How is it that
we so seldom hear of peppermints leading
to the downfall of youth? Is it possible
that the criminologists are too credulous?
Would it not be worth while to consider
the possibilities of chewing gum as an
Geological factor in a crime?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | read in your issue Of to-day a sad
cablegram describing the plight of the Ar
mcnians in Turkey, who, deported as they
are into tho Syrian deserts, ars torced % ee'
grass, lacking other food, and dying by hun
dreds. The cable added that "the sufferings
have been greatly increased because Of their
refusal to embrace the Mahometan faith
This means that the aid offered them by
the American people, however generous, has
proved wofully insufficient TO meet the re-
qurements of the situation. Henry Nor
genthau declares s5,000.O00 is needed TO re
lieve tho situation. The remnant OF the
Armenian race, numbering about 100000
need not only bread medicine, clothes and
shelter, but oxen and instruments to resume
work for self-support. As the Turks have
been thorough in their work OF destruction
let US Americans be equally thorough and
earnest in rescuing the debris Of the martyr
nation.

readers to help raise the necessary sum?
