Practical Home Rule.

II is true. as Senator Wagner contends,
that the proposed constitutional amend
ment for home rule introduced by Senator
Brown would dilute considerably locality
regulation of governmental functions. Yet
if is well worth having for all that. what
the amendment would do is to permit mu-
inequalities and counties to make sucn
local regulations and set up such local ad-
ministrative agencies as the Legislature
approved of by general statute. Ihls
would be home rule by legislative consent.
Yet it would be an advance on the existing
condition. when cities and counties are
governed to a great extent by the Legl5-
lature. without any particular reference
to the wishes or majority sentiment OF the
inhabitants.
So long as a city must obtain its char
tor from the state it is idle to expect or
demand simon-purc home rule, if there
exists any such thing. Home rule, conse-
ouently. must be limited in accordance
with the opinions of the officials who act
for the state, tne ndIUeiHIS PV"Ni' D
erwise there could be no coordination o.
municipal action. no direction or restraint
over it in the interest Of the whole public
Within the realm of practice rather
than theory Senator Browns amendment,
carried out by laws carefully drawn and
tolerably broad in spirit, would be an eX-
cellent thing for the metropolis. 1t would
solve many difficulties now confronting the
citv in its endeavor to save money by re-
adjustments and consultations in its de
partments and in the counties within Its
borders. Incidentally, it would relieve the
Legislature, once the general laws were
enacted, from the consideration of many
local bills each session.

A Matter for Protest.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: / read with indignation your article
about Principal Za5riskie Of the Washington
Irving High School.
Too bad he is not shocked about the condi-
tons on Third Avenue near Irving High
School! Between Fourteenth and Twenty
third Streets dozens Of women swarm all day
long soliciting men. Thousands Of young
girls from the high school pass through
these streets twice daily and are obliged "a
witness these scenes
have written to Principal Zabriske about
the matter and asked him to complain to tins
police. Finally was compelled 20 take my
niece from the school, as the conditions are
worse than ever.
If Mr. Zabriskie is sincere in his desire q
protect young girls from evil suggestions, lei
him protest against the conditions as they are
to-day on Third Avenue, and also on parts CT

section parts with its attractiveness and
becomes nothing but bodybuilding and fac
tory territory. Thereupon the rents 90
down, property stands idle and everybody
concerned is penalized.
New York cannot grow soundly until.
this kind of helter-skelter movement 10
stopped. Manufacturing should be local.
lied in certain appropriate spots, for It's
advantage and the advantage of the
rest of the city. Retail business should be
protected by similar restrictions. Or
course there should be certain sections OF
town kept for residences.
All this the so-called coming plan does.
Over its details there will probably be
many differences when hearings are held
by the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment. But as to its general purpose there
can be no question. That is admirable.
The sooner it is put into effect the sooner
New York will have some chance of devei-
oping sanely into the kind of city its peo-
pie can be proud of.

Give New York Business Zones!

A comprehensive plan for dividing this
city into districts or zones for manufact-
urinp. retail business and residence pur-
poses is pending before a committee of the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment. Nc
more pointed evidence of the necessity for
the adoption of such a system could be
given than the appeal of some of the mos'
representative merchants in the trth
Avenue shopping section to be saved from
a threatened invasion Of factories. They
should be saved from that menace-not for
their own sakes alone, but for the sake OF
the city at large.
New York has seems still able TO see
an object lesson of this kind in the prop
ertv section around Twenty-third Street
That thoroughfare was once one of the
finest shopping streets in the world, rank
ing with Regent or Bond Street or the Rue
de la Pax. In neighboring streets wer'
high class mercantile establishments Of
every description. The section was The
heart of New York's retail business. Grad
ually factories-some of them veritabl'
sweatshops-crept in, driving out the fine
retail shops one by one. The result has
been a depreciation Of property values o.
tremendous extent and loss of taxes high
" important TO the city.
Now a new retail centre has been estab
lished. in and around Fifth Avenue. from
about Thirty-fourth Street north to Cen
trail Park. Splendid new stores have beer
built. adding big sums to the citys list o.
taxables. But again the factories are il
pursuit. menacing retail business, hotels
clubs, apartment houses and even private
residences in that big stretch of territory
1t is a foolish. wasteful course. Manu-
facturers, even clothing and fur makers
gain nothing by being few blocks nearei
the stores. They lose. AS they have nov
learned, they lose the good will Of the re
tail merchants, whose trade suffers by hav
ing the factories for near neighbors. They
lose in the matter Of rentals. for in a fin,
retail business section they must pay
higher rents than they would have 10 dc
if their factories were in the downtown
part Of town, where there is plenty o.
room for just such concerns.
Moreover, the owners of property whc
are foolish enough 10 give it over to fac
tory purposes in retail business-residenc'
district lose in the end, for, while they ma!
get big rentals for time, inevitably The

WHAT THE GORE VOTE MEANS
Bout Between Senate and Presl'
dent at Best a Draw.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to congratulate you upon
your leading editorial Of March 4.
In the midst Of the almost unanimous
headline announcement that il was great
victory, it is refreshing TO find one news
paper willing frankly TO state that the oou''
from the most favorable Presidential view
point. was at best a draw.
A motion to lay on the table prevails IN
but two sets Of circumstances:
First-When it Is not desired at the then
present time to consider the merits OF the
subject.
Second-When the members or the poo!
do not desire TO stand up and be counted.
In connection with these happenings, 1t Is
bu. natural TO reflect that the President has
brought upon himself the conditions, irri-
tuting and embarrassing though they be.
nov, existing between the White House and
the Capitol.
The trainers Of the Constitution were care
full to provide specifically that the duties ana
responsibilities of properly conducting our
foreign relations and for the declaration OF
war were to reside partly in the House, partly
in the Senate and partly in the President.
Had the President before sending notes
which might commit the government to
course Of action, consulted with the proper
committees and leaders Of Congress, as CO.
administrators with him of the nations for
cign affairs, the present situation could not
have arisen.
think am not IN error in stating that
no other Chief Executive has failed to recos..
nize the necessity, under the Constitution, OF
so consulting, whenever grave questions oil
foreign policy which might might not lead
TO war we're under consideration.
Il must be remembered that neither the
Raisuli incident. the punishment of the Bar
barry Coast pirates the Venezuela occurrence
Of Clevelands administration nor any other
Of the more or less numerous sets of circum-
stances in which the President in an emer-
gency, has been called upon to use the army
or navy in the exercise Of the police power
vested in him, as commander in chief, comes
properly under the head of grave questions
Of foreign policy. ANDRE" OOLNlN'

Unsafe Tactics.

If the Senators who are opposed to
woman suffrage think they are going TO
cain anything by their present petty
course of delay and equivocation, they
will find themselves mistaken. II Sena-
tor Brown and Senator Walters by rea-
son of their legislative position think
they can strange the suffrage amendment
in the Senate Judiciary Committee, they
are likely to find themselves mistaken.
They are certain to find that they have
heaped up abundant trouble for them
selves and have laid up indignation
against the party they represent which 1t
cannot afford to encounter.
Senator Walters, Senator Brown or any
other Senator who cares to oppose the
suffrage amendment openly and honestly
is within his rights. But no committee
chairman should promise definite action
on a measure at definite time, as the
suffragists say Senator Walters did, and
then 90 back on his word. No party
leader should use his position to hold IN
committee a measure to which he person
ally is opposed, as Senator Brown IS ac-
cused of doing, unless he wishes to bring
on himself and his party the antagonism
of every voter who favors the cause IN
question. And no committee member
pledged to vote for the suffrage amend
ment can afford to sit by and watch such
tactics without fighting, unless he wants
his zeal to be challenged.
The suffrage amendment must be re-
ported to the Senate, in ample time for a
thorough discussion and fair vote on 1t.
Miserable legislative tricks and subter-
fuges will only make the public angry.
Neither Senator Walters nor Senator
Brown, not even the entire membership OF
that committee, is powerful enough to
strangle the bill with safety for anybody
concerned.

Too Much Freedom of the Press

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: have just read in to-day's Tribune
letter entitled HAS Warded OF War" signed
by Justice" | have read The Tribune a
great many years, and this is the first letter
that has ever been printed in your paper that
gives our good President any credit for keep
ing this great nation out Of war. We are
al present enjoying the greatest epoch Of
prosperity that this country has seen in many
years, but the blackguards and calamity
howlers whose business it is TO throw mud
az public men take this opportunity to do II
through the columns OF the newspapers.
should think that The Tribune would
hide its head in shame after allowing such
editorials and cartoons TO be published in its
columns. ! think that II such a self-respect-
ing and high-class newspaper as The Tribune
prides itself on being would scrutinize some
Of the sanderous editorials and cartoons
before printing them they would hold some
OF their protested self-respect.
Few people realize what great amount OF
sentiment newspaper can carry. and some
sianderous and insulting article about our
President printed in one of the leading news
papers will influence the whole country. The
freedom of the press will ruin this nation

What the West Wants.

~ rom The 81. Louis kcphD!ic.)
We want to remind Washington Of one
thing in connection with this question Of a
national army versus "federalzed" militia:
If the lawmakers Of these United States
think that the plain folks at home are strait
jacketed with prejudice in favor Of devel-
opment of the state militia and cannot be
reasoned with. they are making the mistake
of their lives. We don't want the state
militia plan unless il is best. The general
inSistoncc is not upon particular plan. II
is upon the demand that the nation be safe
guarded in the most efficient way man for
man and dollar for dollar. We are no. mill
tary experts out this way. We do net pose
as such. We are not telling Washington
how the country may best be safeglarded
We are only demanding that it be done.
We do not know much about this militia
business. We remember Tafts experience
when he tried to mobilize a few thousands
Of regular troops on the Texas border. II
was a dreadful Job. II it is possible to have
one y-nominally- and have the parts
divided by "pork-barrel system OF army
posts. as hard to get together as all that,
will the situation be bettered by having
forty-eight armies?
That is what we Missourians do not under
stand. And we beg Washington to think the
matter over and remember that the plain
people Of the West want this thing done
right.

Substitute Enlistment for Golf.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the beginning OF the agitation
for nreparedness many sporadic outbursts OF
,a+riotisn have occurred in various parts OF
tho country. resulting in the attempt to give
military instruction TO boys and youths ~
educational institutions. Possibly TINS Is pet
tor than nothing. II shows at least tha'
there is an awakening in certain quarters 10
tho seriousness Of the situation. when IN
situations like Princeton, Yale and Harvard
advocate military training all the lesser col
1o,es arc likely to follow the example.
Months AGO the writer suggested that Yves
levar University. at Middletown. Conn, begin
IN instruct its five hundred students IN the
military art It is gratifying TO note that THIS
is to be done.
There is a lot OF truth in a remark made
recently by Major General Hughes, the "a
madam Minister Of Militia. lie said: u saw
six hundred able bodied young men coming
ant of n rink last night with nothing to do.
Mako them work. They ought to be enlisted
and getting into shape to fight instead OF
vapping at a hockey game This accurately
describes the situation in America
Instead of golf al Palm Beach, fox hunts at
Virginia Hot Springs and ice carnivais at 81
Paul or even basketball at all the colleges,
the Young men should be taking lessons IN
the art of defending their country from a
foreign attack
SAYS General Hughes, who is confronted
with actual war: IL do believe in universal,
voluntary training for all boys and young
men by means Of the cadet system in the
schools. II would make good men out OF bad
ones and better men out Of the good ones"
In time. let US hope, American public opin-
ion will swing around TO the same point. and
all men and boys will be schooled in military
training. FULLER WhLhhh' al. ~
