To the Editor of The Tribune
SIR As 10 who came out the better AZ
Chicago, the men politicians or the women
politicians, is hard for an onlooker only 70
decide. Perhaps it was SIX of one and half
dozen of the other. They each seem 70
have measured up the other, and what they
they did. The women offered TO the men
that which was not theirs to give and the men
in return gave the women a gold brick In
st. Louis, but for political considerations,
the men politicians would not have allowed
themselves to be bulldozed by the women
politicians in spite of the siege TO which they
were subjected by day and night. As the
besieged captulated without protest it is
fair to assume that they were satisfied with
their bargain and the Chicago men must Ger
tainly feel satisfied with theirs The women
politicians with scalps of four political par
ties at their belts have surely earned glory
enough for one campaign, and so should be
satisfied. The ants also are satisfied. Both
the Republicans and the Democrats have told
the women that suffrage is a question that
must be settled by the states, each for itself,
and to this dictum the anti-suffragists have
always been willing to bow and TO abide BY
the decision Of the electors.
With the Republicans satisfied and the Dem
ocrats satisfied, the woman sufragsts salts
fed and the anti women satisfied, the
work of the conventions in regard 10 suffrage
must be deemed 20 have been eminently salts

"E. s. NJ" A. NJ. Harvard. }

The season has now arrived when the
heavens open and flood of degrees falls
upon the righteous and the unrighteous
with reasonable impartiality. The circum-
stance has become so familiar that it is
only occasionally that some particularly
happy bestowal commands general interest.
There are, however, many thousands Of
US who will find pleasure in the fact that
Harvard has honored herself and Edward
Sanford Martin by comforting upon him
the degree of Master Of Arts.
Mr.. Martin is an institution; he does not
belong exclusively" as we say in journal
ese, to Life" Harvard, although she
claims him as a son, cannot now annex
his place in our sun. Over years he has
brought US week by week a store Of kindly
wisdom, Of gentle philosophy, of clear
thinking and of true feeling. If his sword
has a sharp point its wound is never with
the blade and there is no scar.
In these last two years Mr. Martin has
been the most conspicuous spokesman for
that old America which is reverent mem-
orv and for that new America which holds
all our hope and all our loyalty. Harvard
has done we'll 10 share her honOrs with a
son who has brought to his alma mater
much honor and to all of us much pleas

The Marchers.

With FURNISHED bayonets shining down
the night
And solemn tread and rattle Of the
drum,
Up the long street the brown battalions
come
Fire to the man, unto the child delight,
Unto the woman tears and pride, and
might
And gathering strength to all Of US;
some dumb,
Some eager-shouting great and small
we plumb
The deeps of pain and scale the hills of
light!
Yea, as we watched the armored Thing
sweep on,
We saw the ancient port Of Vera Cruz,
Cortez the Sword, far-gazing on the
wreck,
Self-fred, Of all his ships; we saw The
Don
Turn on his heel, and read in his eyes
the news
Of battles, and the doomed Chapul-

Kind Words for Dirt.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The Board of Health in investigating
the conditions under which food is cooked
and served in the restaurants of this city is
rendering a valuable public service. The re-
suit Of the investigation so far-only I per
cent Of the establishments deserving being
ranked "good"-s both interesting and illu-
minating. In one restaurant in a drygoods
store it was discovered that scraps left by
diners we're served up as hash next day. It
was also found that contaminated food, re-
jected as unfit 20 sell at the delicatessen
counter, was utilized for delectable "stews."
In another establishment the walters and
kitchen help had no place TO wash their
hands, etc, etc. But why not name these
places, so the public may know and avoid them
until such time as the proprietors choose TO
"clean up? The investigation is no real pro-
lection unless the public is so warned.
The truth is that no body Of investigators
would dare reveal the true conditions. There
are certain things the Almighty in His wis
dom decided We had better not know Among
them were the conditions behind the scenes
Of New Yorks restaurants. The public is in
clined not to take the matter too seriously
anyway. Some Of US like dirt Many people
thrive on it. How explain otherwise the con-
tinusnce of life in the congested, unspeakable
conditions of the slums, where such fastidi
Gus inventions as finger bowls. baths, tooth
brushes, spotless linen and personal hygiene
are absolutely unknown? H. L. X.

SHALL We SAVE DAYLIGHT
A Plea for Reform by an Associate OF the
Late Mr.. Willett.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; | shall consider it very high honor
if you will please publish this brlet reicr'
cnce to a scheme that for many years ! nave
been advocating. with my late frlenu anu
father of the idea, the lato Mr.. Wiliett, oi
London, who died last year.
We have fought and tried hard to bring 1t
about. In 1909 / introduced a bill in tho
Legislative Council of Newfoundland which
was carried by a majority of five, but uh-
fortunately the bill was defeated in the lower
house. II the bill at that time had been
PASSED Newfoundland would have been the
first in the world TO adopt the scheme by
act of Parliament.
What do we find to-day? Great Britain
and all the European powers have passed
either government bills or council resolu-
tons to carry the principle of the bill into
effect.
Since my arrival in New York by the
steamer Stephano on Sunday afternoon last
this being my second visit to the great city
Of New York. the first in February, 1914, III
the height Of great snow blizzard almost
a. bad as we sometimes have in Newtound-
land now my second visit on the way to
England in the sunny month of June, it has
occurred to me that the daylight saving bill
or scheme-if / might be allowed to call it
such-should be adopted in New York
plead ignorance to the powers by act
Of parliament conferred upon his honor the
Mayor and his Council of the City of New
York
Monday and Tuesday were both ideal days
of sunshine.
| had the pleasure this morning Of going
through the various departments of Macy's
magnificent store, and was surprised to hnd
the place so full Of customers, and so much
different from London. 1t was then $3.50
o'clock.
Should New York adopt the daylight saw
ing? Mr.. Editor, | say yes with all my
heart am not aware of any serious com
plieations that would arise-there may be,
| know them not-by the adoption Of the
summer season time in England. New York
is one hour further away from London. New
York and its great stock exchanges com
mand the key of stocks and the money
exchange Of the world | understand the
stock exchanges open for business at ~
O'Clock a. m. (under the daylight bill that is
o'clock y. m. in London. The stock eX-
changes Of New York close at o'clock p. m,
which is o'clock p. m. in London. To
equalize time, as before the bill in England,
let his honor the Mayor and his brother
councillors pass resolution, to come into
force at an early date on set Sunday night,
that all clocks and watches shall be advanced
one hour from date fixed to a date agreed
upon when all clocks and watches shall be
put back one hour. You will then have ac-
the precious gift to humanity
without money and without price
Mr. Editor, am very pleased TO note from
late papers from London that the British
government, through the Home Secretary,
has given full credit to my late friend. Mr..
Wilett, the father of the idea Of saving
daylight, was British born.

leadership Of Russia among the nations Of
the world Mind you, Russia, land of the
Cossack, home OF the pogrom, seat OF the
darkest anarchial monarchy that ever sucked
the life-bloOd of a whole continent, that Rus
sia will become our aesthetic teacher in all
things spiritual and noble! Could any one
conceive of anything more arrogant TO say
thhn this?
For centuries Russia has been In the nat
ure of her government the most militaris-
tic country OF the world. Her rulers, from
Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great
Prohigate to the present day, have held their
power at home by means of the knout and
abroad by the fear of it, And yet the gem
tleman simply credits Germany with all
things miltaristic without the least bit Of
misgiving! And England, the proud con-
quering nation Of ten centuries of civiliza-
tion, will simply wither under the aesthetic"
influence Of a nation three quarters Of whose
population have never seen the light of a
book. and all Of whom suffer the yoke of
tyrant government unparalleled in the
worlds history! Could a close union with a
nation Of that character be in any way CO.
incident with our spirit of liberty and en-
lightment?
There is certainly some good in being on
good terms with Russia The uncouth bear
wants many thing we have that is profit
able for US TO let him have. But as to ac-
ccpting his leadership in things spiritual
and aesthetic, may God save US from such
friends, S. ZARCK.

Further Confessions of a Spy.

The latest confession Of the sometime
Reverend Ignatius Timothy Tribitsch Lin
coin. late Member of Parliament and inter
national spy, is the most credible of the
grand series he has treated the world to.
He confesses now that he was guilty of
forgery, but as for his experiments IN
espionage, they were all of them directed
against Germany, and instead Of persecut-
ing him the British government SHOULD
have honored and awarded him."
Whatever happens to him now he is not
likely to have long career as revealer
of state secrets. Even if. as he hopes, the
Secretary of State at Washington will de
mand his immediate surrender" he cannot
hope to make much Of a hit here as an
author. The weakness of the great inter-
national spy seems TO be that for all his
skill he cannot sustain any part he chooses
for very long. He can carry his bluff with
some success for a while, but it has a dis
concerting way of collapsing at the critical
moment.
This appeared even in his transactions
with Mr.. Goldstein and Mr.. Finkelstone
They worked well enough until he was
found out, and even then he had a knacs
Of getting out of his difficulties But it
was at some sacrifice of that bold and dar-
ing front he boasts Of. Thus, in the case
of Goldstein he was forced to cry for mercy
-"he, being a Jew as he explained to
Mr.. Rowntree, treating me with sympathy
as one. Of his race" So, too, when he con
fessed his forgery 10 Finkelstone: Sure

have been taken toward the end of the
war and Turkeys isolation will be COM
plete.
The first incident is important now
rather as a sign than in itself. Patiently
the Allies are choosing the ground Ior
action, and the action will involve the
whole German dream of expansion tow
ard the East. The Berlin-to-Bagdad en-
pire is now to be attacked from Salonica
and a successful attack may bring US
within hailing distance of peace.

The Greek Crisis.

the usurpation of other powers by a
minority in the national legislature,
1t was at least possible to defend the
King while his course was directed tow

adventure, even at the cost Of national
honor but there is no longer any occasion
