BY WHAT RIGHT?

WHAT right has Mr.. William Draper

or Councils to propose a transit lease
based on the principle that the riders

Mr. Taylor's program divided itself
naturally into two parts. program for
construction and program for financing.
He was no more explicit in his descrip
tion of the one than he was in his descrip-
tion of the other, He said: Here are the
lines we shall build and here are the
offsets to be used against early deficits of
operation" On such an issue and no

before the public and propose to abandon
utterly this vital program and substi-
tute for It an obsolete method of tinanc-
ing, never proposed when the people were
voting on the project and entirely at
variance with modern methods? They
assume a power that does not belong to
them. They have no moral right, and
we doubt if they have legal right to
embark on such an adventure. The lease
itself has been shot full of holes and it
is understood that it's proponents are pre-
pared to accept radical changes; hut there
is no change that can make it worthy
of serious consideration, because the very

FORGOTTEN WARRIORS

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Historans tell US that there were
more than 5000 negro soldiers In the Rev
outionary War, and that two of them.
Peter Salem and Solomon Poor, were men
toned for marked bravery.
Negroes were with Perry on Lake Erie
and with Jackson at New Orleans in the
War Of 1912.
In the War of the Rebellion 1s0, 900 me-
groes were enlisted and fought in many of
the bloodiest battles of the war, namely
Miliken's Bend, Port Hudson. Fort Wagner
and at the assault on Petersburg, Va. Many
of these men won commissions.
For forty years after the close of the
Civil War the negro troops fought the In

Wherever there are undisciplined or

they have won no laurels against the

The very immensity of Russia may

corps in Russia. And nothing so cements
the martial spirit of a people or is so
certain to bind them together for united
action as an enemy in possession of their
soil. Human nature gets the better OF
all theories and ''isms" when that con-
dition of affairs comes to pass, and the
natural love Of man for the soil that he
lives on dominates all his impulses. There
is nothing more dangerous than to "con-

her armies fail along the far.fung from

The Allies have ceased to expect any

"SUPREME COURT
OF THE WORLD"
Not to Be Attained by Academic
ACKNOWLEDGMENT on
Other Current Topics
THE HAGUE CONFERENCE

Sir-The story Of The Hague conference
of 1907. told in yesterdays EVENING
LEDGER ought not to pass without comment
IL Is evidently told by James Brown Scott
secretary of the American delegates. and it
intimates that the conference was virtually
agreed on n so-caled international "Su-
preme Court" when a Central American
States representative suddenly demanded
equal representation of all nations in pro-
ducing it-and halted everything.
Mr.. Scott intimates, according to the
story, that there was panied surprise at this
as though he did not know that Delaware
did the same thing in his own lands con-
stitutional convention, and. moreover threat
ened to disrupt the convention unless she
had her way. It is strange that Mr., Scott
or any one else supposed to be big enough to
be delegate at The Hague should ignore
the fact that this was the prime struggle
of our convention Of 1887 and not anticipate
It at The Hague. and so provide for it. In
stead of that however according to Mr.
Scott the whole conference lay down before
the little Central American nation. and now
charges it with letting loose the dogs Of
war in 1914 and chaos generally.
Did the Wilson's and Madlsons Of 1887 lie
down before little Delaware? They also
wanted proportional representation quite as
much as the SCOTS and Buffers of 1907
Thirty years after the event Charles
Pinclney wrote that it was 'the prudence
and forbearance of the large States" that
saved the Union In 1897 by preferrng to
give little Delaware an equal represent alton
in the Senate rather than have the chaos
that would follow disruption.
"The prudence and forbearance" of the
large nations was evidently not in working
order in 1907 according to Mr.. Scott's tale,
and SO they the SCOTS and Buffers and
other representatives of larger nations, let
the imminent union of 1907 fall to smash,
and they, the SCOTS and Buffers ct al, not q
Central American, let loose the chaos of
1914!
Evidently what was needed on that occa-
sion was larger tmber-Wilsons and Madi-
sons whose prudence and forbearance'
We're in working order. No Wilson or Madi-
son, however, would have gone there on
such an errand anyhow; they would have
known that there was no such thing as a
supreme Court" without n coordinate
legislative and executive as bases.
We need Wilson's and Madisons now to
squeeze the water out of such stocks as
International supreme Courts. (Which are
triangles with only one side), League to
Enforce Peace" which is nothing but mere
vigilance committee, and set forth the we'll
known necessities of government. They had
their Scots and Buffers in 1887, too who
wanted an imitation United States. They
are too academic. A little closer inspection
of the article shows that Elhu Root was in
that group, but standing behind James
Brown Scott, and evidently in the minority.
Surely Mr.. Root would not charge this awful
chaos to the little Central American country.
