CONFER WITH HAMPSTEAD

While no oficial "nounceme Of the

played at the Polo Grounds. Represen-
tatives Of the service schools met Presi-

at the Biltmore Hotel yesterday when. 1t
Is understood. a tentative agreement was
reached as TO the scene Of the gridiron
classic OF 1916. An ofhcial
ment will he made Friday.
A year ago the Army and Navy oh-
cials had "A very serious argument over
the matter of grounds. so serious that
at one time 1t appeared as II the insti-
tutions might sever football relations.
The Navy. which had been beaten on its
first trip to New York. offered serious
objections to the Polo Grounds. 1t was
asserted that the trip from Annapolis
to New York was altogether too tedious.
Finally a compromise was effected
whereby II was agreed for a period Of
five years to alternate between the Polo
Grounds and any field the Navy direc-
tors might select. This assured the
cadets of appearing at the Polo Grounds
In 1917 and 1919.
Heretofore tho service school games

HORSES AND CARRIAGES.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-02-19

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Regarding the Federation of State
Medical Boards proposed sickness insurance
administered by the Federal government
which emanated from a recent meeting IN
Chicago. il is evident that the plan, from the
standpoint of the medical profession, would
be mighty good lever TO insure greater
practical income, at the expense Of the dear,
Good people. In brief. as advocated by Dr. o.
Huffman in Chicago, it provides for tax OF
50 a year on all wage earners receiving less
than 81 200 year income. The great MAJOR
itv of wage earners receive less than Sl,2OO
annually, and this would get them nicely
Is there anything new under the sun? Over
IN China the usual way Of medical attention
has been for ages for the natives to pay the
doctors so much periodically in case sickness
Is kept away When disease attacks the
patient the doctors fee IS cancelled until
health returns. This medical innovation IN
our country would be a handsome procedure
for the profession, especially if the American
Medical Association could get this kind of a
law for insurance of fees buckled and bolted
on to the state or Federal government.
Since there are many people Of Christian
Science faith who refuse to have any medical
Drug treatment whatever, and also there
are many educated people who successfully
treat any Of their own natural ailments with
homeopathic medicines, should not these peo-
pie be exempt from paying any state or Fed
eral medical tax, which, if provided, is meant
to insure payment, by the government, Of
some other peoples doctors bills?
However all this may be, it is generally
believed that the majority of people are not
anxious for government by paternaism; in
other words. let doctors continue to collect
their bills in the usual way of other pro-
fessionals. {. ". WILSON.

The Keynote.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You are entitled to the thanks OF all
patriotic citizens for your publication oil
Mr.. Roots speech of yesterday and your able
editorial upon the same. The plain, logical
statement of such an able citizen as Mr.
Root upon a question so important 20 the
citizens of this nation is of great value to
the country at this time.
No one has had the courage to make sucn
a statement before, except Colonel Roose-
Welt Now that these two great leaders are
at one as to the great principles which ahec'
our country, we should all rally to save our
selves from the humiliation and disgrace
into which we have fallen by reason of the
inaction of our representatives at Washing
ton as to the violation of Belgian neutrality
the torpedoing of merchant vessels without
warning, thus numbering our citizens upon
the high seas, and the weak policy OF the
Administration as to Mexico.
It is not a question of men. but question
Of principles. The Entente Allies are really
fighting our battles In other words, they
are contending for practically the same prin
ciples which we fought for who served IN
the armies OF lhe HatloH uui"S '"' >''
War-namely, the principles Of democracy
as against autocracy; the right of the people
to rule instead of being ruled by those who
hold their position by what they claim to
be "the divine right of kings"
The keynote has been sounded by Mr..
Root. There should be no faltering or di-
vision, but a patriotic demonstration by
every citizen who believes in the principles
for which our Revolutionary fathers fought
for which the boys" from 81 to 65 fought.
and for which this nation has always stood.

Married Teachers.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There are two married women in our
neighborhood whose husbands can very wei.
support them and yet both are teaching
school and taking the places of young women
who are eagerly waiting to be appointed.
There may be many reasons why these
women continue to teach school, but is there
one good enough to excuse them for being
stumbling block in the path Of the newly
graduated girl who has been working hard
at training school in the hope that she woul
soon be able to occupy position for which
she had spent considerable energy, time an
money in preparing herself, with the hope
that 1t would present profitable and con
genial employment?
True, the married woman will say that she
knows just how to handle the children, for
she has handled so many; yet our younger
women could handle them as well, for they
have had the same instruction.
Married women who are thrown upon their
own resources are justified in holding their
positions, as means OF livelihood, but one
who can be driven to her post in an automo-
bile can find other means of endeavor by
which she could be Of more use TO the COM
munity. EDITH CLAIRE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Bravo for Mr.. Roots speech. All
hail. He has spoken out frankly, and 1t II
as from the very heart of US.
Colonel Roosevelt has done so all along
but there should have been heard the voices
of many more public men within the last
year
Unfortunately, the voicing Of such speech
as Mr. Roots seems to be considered par
ticular form of bravery in these days. In
truth, it is the only possible attitude to be
taken by true Americans, and should as a
matter of course, nave been taken instan-
taneously and proclaimed aloud far and wide,
long ago. Neutrality between right and
wrong is wicked thing"
All thinkers -farsghted, level-headed men
and women--have felt this keenly for long.
humiliating months; and editors of news
papers have written strongly upon this Will
son course of cowardice, blindness, selfish
ness Yet it still goes on!
Why must we continue TO accept it meek
"? Why. indeed? If we, as the America
people, do not resent it to the extent Of
acting. and remove it by force, we therefore,
like Wilson himself, tolerate and condone-
which is unspeakable.
Apparently this is the case with US. But
there is q smoudering fire in the American
people! We need men in the proper posi-
tion who shall at last stand up as one body
and in the name of true American ideal-
demand that our false representative be re-
pudated. By so doing We could gain much
of our lost self-respect, and reestablish, az
least in part, our former digniied position
among the first powers of the world.
What we need is the first word-a start
a leader-and the people would rise up and
overthrow the whole false governing power
There is yet year of Wilson leadership
ahead of us. Must we have il? Who knows
where it may place US! Is there not great
danger? Why not prevent, instead of allow
ing calamity to overtake us? If we re-
pudate Wilson and the methods of the Adj
mnistration in newspapers and in our
hearts, why don't we impeach him?
