The Law Wrong, Not the Principle.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: AS an independent Republican, l do
not agree with your editorial about direct
primaries However, the so-cslled direct pri-
mary law on the statute books of this state
is a fraud and an imposition on the enrolled
voters.
When Mr.. Sulzer was put out of office the
bosses, to break the force of the indignation
of the people, threw them the sop of a bastard
direct primary law, and that is what we are
laboring under now. 1t is the defects in this
law which you should point out and remedy,
and not the principle.
! expect to vote for Mr.. Hughes and
Mr.. Whitman, not because they stand for the
reforms | hope to see brought about, but
because believe, taking all things into con-
sideration, that it is better to have the Re-
publicans in power under the boss system
than the Democrats in power under the boss
system.
But, mark well what tell you; the day is
not far distant when the people will get
together and beat the boss system by defeat
ing both old parties. They wanted to do it
u 1912. They would have done it this year
RI they had the opportunity. They will get
the opportunity sooner or later.

He Has the Qualifications.

Mr.. Bacon's campaign for the nominal
ton for Senator presents a clean-cut issue
to the Republican voters of the state
Speaking at jamestown on Saturday night
he declared his belief that there were two
vital questions before the public now
ADEQUATE preparedness and the conduct OF
the country's foreign policy. As to both,
he insisted, the Wilson Administration had
failed it had failed to bring about state
of adequate military preparedness by de-
Law and the fostering of half way meas
ures; it had failed lamentably to discharge
its international obligations in not uphold
ing the most sacred principles of interna-
tional law.
On these matters Mr.. Bacon speaks with
the authority of honorable public service
as Secretary of State and Ambassador to
France. His experience has peculiarly
fitted him to help solve the problems which
this country is meeting and will continue
to meet long after the European war IS
ended. By every standard of personal in
tegrity and intellectual ability ne is well
qualified to take his place among the ma
TONS lawmakers.
New York State needs in the Senate a
representative possessing such training,
such experience, such point of view as
Mr.. Bacon's. The country needs in Con-
gress men who know international affairs
at first hand and are capable Of shaping
the country's policies from knowledge
rather than theory and hearsay. 1t is no
disparagement to Mr.. Bacon's rival for
the nomination to say that every dictate
of efficiency, every dictate of patriotism,
demands that Mr.. Bacon be chosen as the
party's candidate for Senator, because he
possesses the qualifications needed now in
Washington.

EDUCATE THE PUBLIC
Il Should Learn What Compliance with the
Railroad Unions Demands Would Mean.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: This country is facing a crisis, due
10 the demands Of the railroad unions and
the inability Of tho railroads to withstand
those demands, because the railroads get no
support from politicians, who fear the union
vote. or from the public, which is lacking IN
information upon the subject. To-day these
brotherhood men are by far the highest paid
in the world In proportion to their effort and
training.
There are not per cent Of the passenger
crews in this country working eight hours
a day. They are all supplied with passes Tor
themselves and their families to any part
of the country.

all his life, until May Of 1914, and now
draws pension from the railroad company.

Of my most intimate friends are in the train

At present these organizations, CONSTITUTE
ing four-tenths of l per cent of the people
of our country, are in position to terrorizc
the land with the threat of strike. There
Is not one man IN twenty VINO mas W c"i"
his daily bread in this country whose tasks
are as light or whose surroundings are as
pleasant as those of conductors and engi-
neers, some of whom draw over $4,000 year
and now ask for more pay and shorter hours.
There is just as little reason for complaint
from the trainmen and fremen. Surely men
who learn to perform their work in three
days are not highly skilled men, and yet
these mems annual earnings are far above
the average income of any skilled labor IN
the country.
Further, every we'll informed man knows
that, regardless Of what concessions the rail-
roads make, they will have to face bigger
demands next year. II has been SO in the
past and will be so again.

Cleansing the Oyster.
(From The Medical Record. }

(From The Medical Record)
1t has long been known that there is a
tendency to the self-purifcation of oysters
when transferred to pure water. The self
publication is complete within from few
evident when one realizes that the passage
of water through the oyster is very large
and very rapid. AS much as 20 to so gallons
Of water pass through in a day. The pas
sage Of food particles through the intestinal
tract is quite as rapid. In France basins OF
filtered water have long been used to effect
this publication, but the cost of this process
compared with the sale price of the oyster
renders the method quite impracticable. And
indeed, if il Is fairly clean. unfitered sea
water is better for publication purposes. be-
cause the food particles in unf!tered water
stimulate passage through the intestinal
tract and help to carry through and to dis
charge the contained colon bacilli.
Instead of filtered water, therefore, the
usual methods of the chemical publication
of water were utilized in these experiments
to render the oysters free from colon nfec-
ton. In carrying out these experiments
oysters were inoculated with both free cult
ures of colon bacilli and attached colon ba-
cilli-that is, with the bacill In finely divided
agar suspension. The water was then disin-
fected with 10 per cent calcium hypochlorite
solution considerable publication OF the
oysters contained therein occurred within six
hours and remarkable publication within
twenty-four hours. The results we're below
the conditional amount permitted by the
Rhode Island Fish Commission. although the
amount of the aSifieial infection was much
greater than II would be In natural infec-
tions in polluted oyster beds. Usually two
doses OF hypochlorite were given, the second
after six hours. in order to reach such in
lection still within the oyster and not dis
charged because Of the possible closure of
the she'll during the first period, and because
of the rapid decomposition of the hypochlo-
rite. This treatment was found not to have
bad effect upon the flavor of the oyster or
upon its well-being. In the case Of an ee-
ment Of food so widely used any method that
will insure the safety of the consumer while
preserving the favor of the oyster is deserv-
ing Of consideration.

How Long7

To the Editor of The Tribune
SIR When, in June, this country was on
the verge of war with Mexico hundreds Of
patriotic citizens eagerly and willingly en-
listed in the New York National Guard, glad
to be able to help uphold their country
honor.
They left their wives and mothers, in
many cases lacking means of support. They
left their positions, only obtained in many
instances after years of hard work, begin
ming in a lowly capacity and raising them
selves solely on their merits. When the
Federal muster was made all these men, ex-
ceptng a very few, signed their enlistment
papers for a period of three years active
service and three years on reserve in the
United States army doing all this to show
their Willingness to serve their country. En-
trained. these embryo soldiers were rushed
to the border, making up for their lack OF
military training by their enthusiastic pa
triotism. Eventually detrained in various
parts of the Southwest, in a section and eli
mate to which they we're totally unused
they were put to work making camp. Men
mostly from desks, were set digging bitches
and drains. clearing out large tracts of land
covered with cactus and other thorn bearing
plants. and made to do the hardest kind OF
manual labor. labor to which they were to-
tally unaccustomed Unfinchingly and un-
grudgingly they did this, and all in their
anxiety to make good in the eyes Of the
nation.
Finally the situation which made war be-
tween the United States and Mexico seem in
evitable was adjusted and the war cloud
passed over. The possibility Of any trouble
between the two governments was reduced
to a minimum and there was no longer any
necessity for large armed force to be MAIN
tanned on the border.
The troops expected to be sent TO their
homes after the danger passed, but such was
not the case. without any plausible reason
they are being held in service. The authori-
ties will not even inform the men for how
long they will be held. There they are, their
al dor dampened, day after day receiving let
tiers from home informing them Of starving
wives and mothers and of positions lost, po-
sitions for which they worked so hard.
How long are these men to be held up
Quickly they responded to the nations call
and just as quickly, now the danger is over
should they be returned to their homes, to
their families and to their individual call
ings. WILLIAM .. ROTH.

A Desperate Expedient.

Manifestly President Wilson's endeavol
to obtain Congressional guarantee OF hi
recent promises to the railroad president:
is a last moment expedient to stave of
general railroad strike. 1t may prove HI:
desire to make good his assurances OF ar
order from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission permitting the jacking up OF
freight rates to meet the increased pay
schedules caused by the "basic eight-houi
day" which he approved. But desire tc
make good and making good are different.
There can be at this time no possible
assurance that Congress will act favora-
bly, on the measures which the President
has proposed to Senator Kern and Senator
Newlands. Moreover, if Congress were to
act favorably it would mean merely that
the whole question of wages, hours Of labor
and freight rates had become political
matter, to be settled not by judicial proc
esses, but to be thrust out of sight some
how, to be settled as best it might be, to
clear it up before the campaign. Favora-
Dlt dCilOl VII IHtot llltdSulNo az WIS NiiiiN
would be merely sop to the railroad ex-
ecutives to compensate them for giving to
the President the appearance of having
won a victory in forcing the acceptance by
them of his "basic eight-hour day."
For that reason there seems to be no
more hope of right ard proper settlement
of the controversy in the Presidents latest
move than there was in his original &C
ceptance of the gist of the mems demands
without having heard the railroads side
of the case. 1t still ignores the desirable
ity, the justice, of investigation before &C
ton in this particular case. 1t says in
effect: "Give the men what they demand
and all official powers will be put to work
to make up to you the extra cost out Of
the pockets of the public" 1t makes no
provision whatever for attempt to prove
the justice of granting the mems demands
in this case.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the
country is nearer a strike now than ever
before. The President has delayed it, per-
haps, but nothing he has done so far has
made settlement more possible than it was
the day the unions completed polling their
strike vote. He took the side of the men
and tried to swing the big stick on the
railroads. That having failed because the
attitude was so manifestly unfair that the
country showed it wouldn't stand behind
him, he is now trying, so far as official
power can do it, to get enough money out
of the public's pockets to give to the rail-
roads so they may be willing to accept his
settlement scheme. And this method of
dealing with the railroads is not one whit
fairer to the public than his original plan.
1t bears, therefore. heavy handicap.
If this last moment expedient fails there
is little likelihood that anything else the
Presidents mind can devise will prevent a
strike. If that disaster comes, the public
truly will "assess the responsibility"
That responsibility will lie on the Presi-
dent, because when he had the opportunity
to bring about arbitration he refused to
do so by becoming a partisan.

he said. IL his facts were wrong his IN
stincts were right, and the "Staats-leieung
has resstablished his veracity by pronounc-
ing Britair's blockade downright infanti-
eide" Happily, however, we were assured
a few days ago on the same authority that
since the Deutschland made her trip across
the Atlantic the blockade had ceased to
exist. But, while we are thus freed from
any anxiety on our own account, II is
only right and proper to acknowledge the
instructive truthfulness of Germanys
famous lecturer on art and condensed milk.
