"Underhanded Digs. u
tor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: IN your campaign FOR Roosevelt
against Wilson why don't you fight fair and
souaro7 You state your policy fairly enough
that you want Roosevelt to take third
telm-but why do you insert sneaky little
poems, such as this mornings Peace and
wcepy little editorials, such as "ogallala
Fires Suicide" IN your paper? This has been
going on ever since you printed the DO They
Want Roosevelt" editorial.
You have many readers who do not favor
Ny Lord Teddy ss you do. The latter fact
will not influence their choice Of q newspaper
or stop them from reading The Tribune, but
cluttering up the editorial page with under
handed little digs against "Prexy" and the
"Schoolmaster" certainly will prejudice them
against your sheet. PAUL E. GOULD.

A Useful Society.
From The Springfield Repab"oon.l

From The Springfield herHo"oon'l
The American Scenic and Historic FFeser'
walton Society, which hes just published ita
annual report. was founded by Andrew Il.
Green and Incorporated by the Legislature
% the State Of New York in 1890. The
founder was native of Worcester, who, as
the report recites, had his "boyhood impress
sions of broad outlooks over the beautiful
hills of Massachusetts ingrsined In his soul {;
and 1t is interesting to recall that the de-
struction of the palisades Of the Hudson in
spired Mr.. Green and his associates 20 IN
dertake their preservative work. The org
inal object OF the society was to save for the
public the unrestricted possession OF historic
scenes and buildings. This led naturally 70
the study of parks. and the organization has
now branched out into all the departments
Of civic Identification. Although New York
Il extends It's activities ever
the entire country and co6perates with SINH
lar societies in England and on the Cont
mont It's members have given more than So
500 900 in money and lands for public parks
or the protection Of landmarks. The value
Of such a society both in its encouragement
~ wholesome sentiment and It's usefulness
10 the masses of the people, will be denied
by no one. except possibly some fanatic who
wants all vestiges of the past uprooted.

An International Navy.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t has been pleasure to me TO read
your editorials. Your conception OF things
present and future. as balanced with those Of
the past, shows splendid understanding. And
the American people are fortunate in having
newspaper like The New York Tribune and
man like Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. They
have real need Of such leaders.
| should like TO see in your editorial col
umns your idea Of international navy 20
police the world-the high seas belong TO no
one country, but 20 all countries. Why not
throw all the nayies into one melting pot and
bring out one navy under an international
board (of real naval mem, man the ships
with officers and men of all nations, hoat
them under an international flag, and then
all countries would have an equal chance for
commercial intercourse

To Reform Our Monuments

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In view Of the record Of the United
States during the last seventeen months, |
venture to make the following suggestions
Take down the sundry soldiers and sail
ors' monuments that are scattered over the
various states and In place thereof erect
statues representing Uncle Sam bending over
writing Il Note al out Strict Accountability"
and the Kaiser giving him vigorous and
merited kick.
Such statues could be made much more
artistic than the present efiieies, and would
express much moro truthfully the martial
spirit Of this "ls1d OF the free and home Of
the brave" EDWIN A. ROGERS.

Let Us Do Something!

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Isn't there something that can be
done 70 save America from the terrible
shame of watching the slaughter in Mexico
Are we, the people who before the Wilson
administration were looked upon with honor
and respect, TO become mockery before
the world? Are we, powerful nation OF
00,0o0.0O0, to stand for what even Turkey
never dared to do2
No! No! Let US do something TO protect
our own blood! II. II. II.

What Is a Muzzle?

The owner of dog which had apparent
" done some mischief vas acquitted Oh
responsibility on the plea that he hao
observed the law In the matter OF iilu@-
ling The verdict was set aside by JUS
tico Lauer In decision incidentally pro
duced the other day in the course OF Sonno
hobeos corpus proceedings
Referring to the dictionary definition OF
as binding or confning "c
mouth Gin order 20 prevent biting or eat
inc" Justice Lauer commented as follows
"Clearlv. then, the mouth of this animal
,ros not 50 bound. 1t cannot be said that
merely because some straps were over the
Mouth or head the statute had been com
nlied with and the dog muzzled II ne h"u
free use Of his mouth"
This is a common-sense Interpretation Of
the muzzling ordinance which would douD'-
less be accepted by the Board Of Health
But the majority of those who own dogs
are content with perfunctory lIn'tationS
Of muzzles and real muzzles are seldom
soon in our streets. The plea Of the own
ers Is that real muzzles are uncomfortaDle'
What they mean is that real muzz-es
serve their purpose. The straps commonly
used are uncomfortable, too, until the dogs
have grown accustomed to them, rather
more uncomfortable than a well htuhg
metal muzzle. But they allow the dog TO
b;+o ord are consequently useless.
1t would be much better to have no muz-
7laa At all than the kind In fashion
at present. for they put the dogs to con-
siderable inconvenience without in any
way protecting the public. The muzzline
ordinance ought either 70 be repealed OF
enforced in letter and in spirit.

THE VICTOR.

Now, while the cruel specters are abroad,
And all that sunders man from man and
God,
While conquest thunders through the
kindlier lands,
And gentle life lies torn by iron hands,
While for a little hour red wrong holds
sway
Until bloodier and q better day
Even now, secure within some chosen
heart,
Patient and undismayed, Love dwells
apart,
And bides his time, the reviving world to
bless,
And tends the sacred fires of happiness.
