find themselves after years Of trying at
a real disadvantage when not face to face
with talker.
Thus the haters dwindle and the adopts
increase as the years go by. Every time
that thunderstorm puts telephones out
of commission in the suburbs, some real

to mean hits a community. We eat by
it, we invite by it, we bluff by it and make
love by it, To the true expert, who ieels
as much at home with receiver nesting
against an ear and his lips pursing sweet
ly into transmitter as if he were seated
on the same front porch in the same moon
light. all things are possible. The ardent
telephone lover is far more typical OF the
day and generation than any occasional
hater.

Soldering for Boys.
New York, July II, 1911

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May | bear my testimony through
your columns TO the wonderful work being
done at the schoolboys' camp at Fort Terry,
Plum Island? | have just come from there
II is hard to believe that Colonel Hero has
had these boys for but one week. The entire
regiment of 200 boys is under the most per
feet discipline The tone Of the camp is ex-
cellent. The boys look splendid. ! met
boys from all over the country and from all
sorts of schools, and they were all enthusias-
tic and happy. The regular army officers
the West Point cadets and the Plattsburg
rockies" are all deyoting themselves TO the
work of military instruction in a way that
will leave a very distinct impression.
Those Of us who are interested in national
defence must do our part in finding the boys
who will be most benefited by this camp cx-
perience. There is to be another camp in
August and it is possible to send boys to il
at cost Of about S25 boy. The benefits
derived are far out of proportion to the cost
Plans must be perfected for more camps
next summer. | believe that there will be
over ten thousand boys ready to enlist for
the FIVE weeks training.
Meanwhile our thanks are due Colonel
Hero and his assistants for proving beyond
all doubt that the idea is practical

of large section of the American public
against "intellectuals."
For the greater part, the objection TO
trade unionism in literature, on the ground
that art is too individual matter TO be
unionized, is beside the point. If this were
an age Of Goethes and Samuel Johnsons,
such an objection might hold, but then 1t
would hardly be necessary. But this is
mechanical age 1t is not the age OF the
artist, but Of the artisan and the engineer
Few people will deny to-day that 1t is to
the advantage of the average mechanic to
belong to a trade union. When literature
is trade" the logical thing TO do is to
join the union. The only wonder is that
those writer's who manufacture fiction and
drama with hammer and saw, who turn
out their annual product of ready made
ideas constructed according to prevailing
patterns, have not long since discovered
their true calling and allied themselves
with the building trades.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-22
The Telephone Halter.

Everybody knows the telephone hater.
If the subject of telephones is started in
any ordinary group of humans, his or her
voice is certain to be heard. Il simply
can't talk on the telephone-I can't un-
derstand a word they say" is the usual
declaration. A plaintive note is in the
voice, yet the general attitude is full of
pride, as who should say: "You folk can
use this modern nuisance if you want to;
but l, like the good old methods best"
If such a telephone hater rounds out
his career by writing with quill pen,
using sealing wax and taking snuff, he
has our sympathy and admiration. There
stands a courageous and consistent
anachronism. But he, or especially she,
too often balks at any such wholesale re-
lection of modern comforts. We have
known telephone haters who made you
give the message to the maid while they
themselves whizzed off in an electrically
lighted limousine 20 the Russian ballet.
A shade of toploftiness is TO be detected
here The telephone is essentially dem
ocratic instrument, levelling all ranks 1t
is distinctly irritating to the super-refined
to reflect that any American with a nickel
can send his voice right into the noblest
home or office in the understanding, Of
course. that Central is in an accurate
mood But even in this latter respect
democracy rules, for wrong number IS
Just as likely to obstruct the President of
the United States as the humblest voter.
The benefit of the doubt may be gwen
to a few anti-telephonsts who are sin
cerely unable TO talk with an invisible con-
versationalst. Some rather subtle psy-
chology is involved here. Most of us have
improved wonderfully in our telephone
chattering with the experience of years.
Good telephone talk is distinctly an art
TO be perfected. The Frenchman who
gesticulates at the telephone is probably
nearer right than the jests at his eX-
pense would indicate. Certainly, the only
way to talk effectively is to smile cheer
fully and frown angrily as the occasion
demands, and in general persuade as much
personality into your voice as possible.
II is a remnant Of cold unimaginatives
who miss all fun and force, and who still

THE CIVIL SERVICE TABOO
How II Silences and Stulti6es Its Members
by Its Rules.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: What is the principle which uaderles
the rigid rules regarding the political acily-
ity of civil service employees? The other
day justice of the Supreme Court sd-
dressed large body on an important race
question. No strong protest has been made
But when a private citizen in search OF
career has been attracted TO civil service
duties he finds himself confronted with exact
ing restraints To commit himself openly on
public question or to publicly take con-
troversial part in such measures is forbid
den.
A part of an appointees papers, which !
have, contains executive orders Of the Fed
eral Civil Service Commission. Among other
things civil service employees are warned
from writing for publication or publishing
any letter or article signed or unsigned, IN
favor of or against any political party, can
ddate. faction or measure; activity IN the
campaigns concerning the regulation or sup.
preston of the liquor traffic; distribution OF
campaign literature, badges, or buttons, or
wearing such badges or buttons while on
duty; the circulation but not the signing OF
political petitions (ncluding initiative ard
referendum, recall and nomination petiton'),
activity in woman suffrage campaigns"
Is it necessary 70 act so contrary TO demo-
cratic principles to keep the civil service free
from corrupt politics? The "spoils system
is thing of the past. Political activity
isn't necessarily bad, nor is good politics ID
any amount unwelcome.
Inquiry at the Federal Building ELECTED the
fact that the above restrictions are valid to'
Federal. state and municipal civil service. 10
a question about writing letters 70 editors on
public measures the answer was that they
were not permitted. The same rules apply
to unclassifed laborers. "A man can DO
those things" said the speaker, but ~neh
some one catches up with him he Will nave

To the writer the incident looks something
like coup. Il has its psychology. In the
Federal service alone there are about io'OV
employees. Even if none Of them was inter
ested in the progressive measures on ~nen
restrictions are placed woman suffrage mi

way would tend in the future TO chill OF

them. To those in the service such progres,
sive movements may during their time spe'

Does any one get ELUSIVE in justifyins
these restrictions? Does il not show DIS
trust on the part of the authorities? Or ~
it simply another case Of partisan or per
sonal interests at work? What is meant oy

Trade Unionism in Literature.

The discussion aroused by the proposed
union of the Authors League with the
American Federation of Labor tends TO
exaggerate both the advantages and the
disadvantages of the project. So far as
the public is concerned the practical results
of such an affiliation will make little differ
ence. 1t is difficult to see how literature
would in any way be affected.
As 10 the possibility Of American authors
going on strike, there is little fear or
hope of it, AS TO the danger that litera-
ture may become the mere apologist Of the
cause of labor, there is little to fear. Au-
thors are Of two kinds, those who have
something Of their own to say and those
who simply cater to the popular tastes Of
the moment. The former, who alone are
artists, and whose literary product alone is
-arth reading, will have their say just the
same. and they will continue TO speak as
individuals no matter 10 what organiza-
ton they may happen TO belong. The lat
ter, whether they make it their business to
flatter labor or capital, will be rated at
their true worth by all discriminating
readers. And for those who do not dis
criminate IT may even be an advantage
10 have certain literary hucksters labelled.
Ii is no secret that many sincere literary
artists, sharing the social spirit of these
times. are in sympathy with labor in its
present struggle against capital. If such
writer's prefer TO line up more definitely
on the side OF labor, for the sake of the
moral support they may be able TO give
that movement, it is clearly within their
right to do so. Possibly in this way they
may help overcome the silly prejudice

From The Providence JourroD

(Fron, The Providence Jowrdi)
Are United States foot soldiers still in
structed 10 "toe OUT? II has been said that
toeing-out, at an angle of about thirty de-
grees. was an invention of military men, 10
show that they know more than the Lord.
Very likely it has passed out of fashion,
with many another favored practice of the
parade ground A writer in the Journal of
the American Medical Association declares
that for soldiers, as other men, the toeing- out
position is anatomcally and physologically
wrong and indefensble. Walking or march
ing it makes for weakness and hastens ia
tgue.
All tramps know that, of course, il their
style of walking is evidence. And most of us
are familiar with the Characteristic toeing-in,
or straight foot, Of the American Indian
child of nature. He looks awkward by con-
trast 10 the striding soldier, but he shuffles
over the ground rapidly and tireessly.
Parents arc largely responsible for perpet
uating the fiction that toeing is correct
Was there ever child that stood. or walked
that way. naturally? The child that finds il
difficult to avoid thoughtless toeing-in is APT
to be subjected TO reprimand, or ridicule, at
home and at school.
SO the artificial toeing-out is cultivated
until il becomes fixed habit But as this
medical authority analyzes il, the feet must
undergo n process of reshapirg in order 10

Would Mexico Sell Her Territory?

tFrops The Washington PoStD
II Mexico were the home Of real states
manship there might be some hope of sue
cess in the proposed negotiations for the
purchase by the United States of Lower Cali
fornia and certain northern states OF Mexico.
Mexico would be wise in selling Lower
California, the five northern states and
Yucatan Possibly the United States would
not purchase them or any of them. But II a
bargain could be arranged IL would be n
benefit to both nations. The territories now
unproductive would be cultivated and de-
veloped, and Mexico would profit by this
growth as well as by the purchase money,
which would enable her TO put her people 20
work for real money Yucatan produces the
raw material which furnishes binder twine
TO American farmers. and If war should in
terrupt sisal imports the farmers of this
country would be compelled. for a time az
least to curtail their wheat acreage. Chi
huahua. Coahuila and Nuevo Leon are good
cotton states. Tamauipas is a rich oil state,
and Sonora yields copper and gold. Both
Sonora and Lower California possess profit
able fisheries and fine harbors. Magdalena
Bay alone would justify the purchase Of
Lower California by the United States.
These resources are practically neglected
by Mexico. That nation cannot develop them
while its people are starving. BY selling a
portion OF its immense superAuous territory
Mexico would be able 70 develop the re-
mainder and enter upon an era OF unprece-
dented prosperity.
But the plan Is nothing but dream.
