A Clubber Behind Bars.

Tho conviction Of Patrolman Michael
Moran. who goes to the penitontlary Tor
A maximum term Of three years, IS "A
wholesome thing for the community. Moran
was bad man" in uniform. He thought
his position gave him right and power to
do as he chose. regardless of the rights
of citizens whom he was supposed to serve
and protect. Some things he could get
awav with" But he was unable to get
away with the particularly atrocious at
tack on Tribune reporter, for committing
which he will serve time. His failure
should serve as "A lesson TO all bad men
and potential clubbers, from whom, un-
fortunately. the police force is not free.
TO District Attorney Swami, for his
prompt and vigorous prosecution OF TINS
case. and TO Judge Rosalsky credit IS due.
For some reason. despite Morans bad
record in the Police Department and the
naqrant outrage of the case for which he
was on trial. efforts were made TO get him
off and a petition in his behalf was circu-
lated, which was signed ed-perhaps under a
misunderstanding by many eminent citi-
zens. These efforts, fortunately, had no ef-
feet. The judge. after a careful inyestl-
CATION, convinced himself that Morans
record entitled him to no clemency.
The police clubber is more of menace
than the gangman. From the latter moth
ing but crime is expected; TO have sworn
city servant turn criminal is . gricvous
blow to the law. Moran's term in the peni-
Tertiary will benefit the city and the Police
Department.

.or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; The ringing words Of Benjamin Ap-
thorp Gould in to-day's Tribune have touched
the great vital point. The letter should be
reprinted in every newspaper in ;he land. now,
and again just before election an election Of
more momentous consequences than any that
has ever been held in these United States.
No matter what the present Administration
way do between now and next November. the
shame, tho disgrace. tho record Of despicable
poltroonery cannot be wiped out. A. to next
November, ! hope hope. but. alas, cannot
share the optimism Of Mr. Gould
This ! know: II Wilson is not thrown out
OF the Office he has desecrated, Il hc is not
everlastingy and decisively beaten. I shall
know that the desire for wealth. the worship
OF the almighty dollar. is the governing in-
auence here, that we have lost our national
soul and conscience that w are totally in-
different TO national shame and degradation

JUSTICE HUGHES
As to the Practicability OF Drafting
Him for the Presidency.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: cordially concur with large part
Of your editorial article in to-day'S issue on
the subject of Justice Ilughes. His profound
legal ability. his unqucstioned high character
and his strong. dgnifed independence IN the
performance Of every public responsibility
placed upon his shoulders arc universally
recognized
As 70 the practicability of drafting him
from tho bench and thrusting him into the
maolstrom Sf partisan politics as the candi-
date Of a great political party for INC fresi-
dency. violating the preccdcnts of the entire
course Of our country's history, ! am not
convinced.
As The Tribune indicates. no ono VIII Su'
pcct Justice Hughes Of seeking the nomina-
tion for the Presidency by any kind Of cam
paigning, "a in the case Of Chief Justice
Chase but it is seriously open TO question
whether the people would approve Of his ac-
ccptance OF such nomination and his con
scquent immediate resignation from the bench
OF the Supreme Court. With all due respect
10 Justice Hughes. and recognizing as alE
must his prominent fitness for the highest
executive Office is IL not reasonably open 70
question whether the people generally would
approve Of his retirement from the bench and
his reentry into active, partisan politics?
The Supreme Court possesses to-day the
practically unanimous respect Of the cltl-
Zcns of the United States. Whatever meas
ure Of public confidence it may have alien
atcd in the past has been regained, and il
would be most unfortunate II the confidence
and veneraton reposed in that august body
should be lessencd in any degree.
I'm the heat Of political campaign such
action is bound 10 excite considerable partl-
sau criticism. and the effect cannot be other
wise than to impair the standing and inAu-
enco Of that great court Even from the mere
standpoint of political expediency the nomi-
nation OF justice OF a Supreme Court Is
at best experimental, and IL is not ~ all cer-
tain that such a nomination would meet with
general approval
u would be sad commentary upon the
poverty of leadership and ability in the Re
publican party If no acceptable candidate
can be selected outside the membership Of
the Supreme Court.

A Complaint Registered.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: As a constant reader of your col
umns | wish to register complaint against
the tenor Of the editorials which daily ap-
pear on the upper left hand side Of your
editorial sheet. particularize as to their
location because It is noteworthy that this
attractive space has been devoted almost OK
clusivcly for about year to the most bitter
dcnunciation OF our President and his poll
c'es. They have been consistently un-
compromising. II was almost unbelievable
at first that new paper which for years has
cherished a reputation for editorial fair
mindedness should allow such articles 70
grace, or rather disgrace, its columns.
This mornings editorial Too Proud 20
Fight impressed nc as one particularly
worthy Of criticism in view OF its untimei-
ness. Whereas. in your principal news item
of the day i. is repeatedly asserted that the
Lusitana matter s far from settled, and
that Secretary Lansing has requested that
the German note be altered that the phrase
assumes liability might be replaced by "ad-
mts liability" or words OF similar import,
the editorial to which / have alluded entirely
ignores all this and AYERS: "Not only has Mr.
Wilson forgotten the Lusitania, but under
the menace Of further German assassinations
he has consented TO approve an agreement
which permits the crime 70 stand for all time
as an act Of murder. uncharacterized and
without disayowal.' How can you begin 10
reconcile this statement with the actual facts
"a contained in the news item?
Finally, | wish to say that / have been
mpeled to the unhappy conclusion that you
are playing politics. and that your defama-
tory comments are meant TO be antidotes for
your short-lived support OF Mr.. Wilson when
the war clouds were gathering over our
heads.
That you may not succeed IN poisoning the
minds OF your readers against the man who
while artfully maintaining peace has pre-
served the self-respect and dignity Of our
nation is the prayer OF every appreciatve

Sir: ] wish herewith to enter my protest
against the cartoon printed on the editorial
page Of to-day's Tribune BY printing this

10 msrepresent the truth, but deliberately
presents falsehood TO It's readers
What IS the principle for which The Trib-
une so loudly proclaims it stands? First 70

What are the facts? . In the contro-
yersy over submarine warfare the United

lection Of neutral lives. especially the lives Of
American citizens. - Germany's reply. 10

edges Liability to pay indemnity for the Amer
