The Cost of the Dog
CFrom The Portland ore0onion,

(From The Portland Ore0onidn)
The dog is coming in for close scrutiny
from the economic viewpoint 1t seems in
hospitable, to say the least, to count the
value of devotion in dollars and cents, and
"man's best friend" has always heretofore
been regarded on a sentimental basis, but
war is war, and there is a growing inclina-
tion to investigate.
1t is estimated by "The Manufacturer
Record" that there are 25,O0000O dogs in
the United States. AS source of revenue
they would produce S50,000,000 if taxed at
the rate of 50 head, provided the owner,
of a lot of worthless ours did not kill them
rather than pay the tax. The same writer
estimates that the average dog consumes
food worth 70 cents every week. Authority
for this figure is not given, but the argu-
ment that much of the food a dog eats
would not be consumed by humans in any
event can be anticipated with the statement
that if it were fed to other animals, such
ss pigs and poultry, it would be converted
into food supply for the people.

profteering, hardship and hunger which
must handicap industry and tend to affect
adversely the spirit of soldiers who know
their families are suffering is more than
shortsighted. 1t is wickedly unpatriotic.
Those who oppose the grant of powers
to buy, store and sell food with public
funds are doing the work of the food
pirates. Worse still, they are doing the
work of the enemy. There could be no bet
ter service to Germany rendered in this
country. The legislator who helps to make
American workers go hungry is no whit
better than the German-controlled /. w.
w. agitator who fires Western wheat fields.
The need at Albany is for a real food con-
troll bill-not weak bill, not a compro-
mise, but thoroughgoing measure ade-
cuate for the present situation and for
more trying situations certain to come.
Governor Whitman should not compromise.
He should accept nothing less than the
best bill which the most expert brains in
this state can draft.

Progress Needed for News Pages

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | note that Nathaniel Hibbard ASSERTS,
"The present form (of the newspaper is per-
fectly satisfactory to a vast majority Of read
ers.'
1t is not quite clear to me as TO how she
doctor acquired this knowledge. This vast
majority" assertion has been rather over
worked in the suffrage discussion.
He says, "Let we'll enough alone" Evil
IDENTIFY some of US do not consider the present
unwieldy form of newspaper well enough"
Ten years ago probably "the vast majority"
were bitterly opposed to the automobile. We
heard so much sentiment about the love for
the horse and the greasy mechanical con-
trivsnce. etc, but it seems that some people
have changed their minds. This is true Of
every step in progress. There are many to
oppose any improvement in anything.
Let some enterprising publisher print a
newspaper with pages half the present size, so
that it can be held in one hand and the pages
turned conveniently with the other, and see il
a large percentage, if not the vast majority"
do not prefer it.
Thanks to Mr. Briggs for his cartoon in
The Tribune showing the contortons of .
man trying to find "the sixth page" IL is
true to life. j. c. MORGAN

Bars Up in the Aviation Service
ohNb LII
Weehawken. n. j., Aug. 2, 1917.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having read in The Tribune about
the War Department calling for more avia-
tors, and when young men volunteered for
that branch they were turned away because
they did not possess the right college dplo-
ma, | wish to say that | was one of the un-
fortunate young men to meet that fate.
In May, 1916, l applied for enlistment in
the aviation corps and was told that men
having college education or its equivalent
only would be considered. Having no COL
ege education, I decided to get the eouiya-
lent, and the following month enrolled in a
flying school, paying my own tuition fee.
when war was declared with Germany ap-
piled for enlistment and again was turned
away, the recruiting officer telling me that
they had more applicants than they could
take care Of
II. Z. Stickney and W. ]. Schaffer. two
students from the same school, were irving
TO enlist at the time, and, not being college
graduates, were also rejected for the same
reason. They finally applied for enlistment
IN the Lafayette Flying Corps, and, having
been accepted, they sailed for France the
early part of June
Until then had not qualified for my pilots
license and was expecting to get it by July,
but on account of having an accident and
the machine being totally wrecked | was un-
able to do So Knowing that it would be
about two or three weeks before the school
would have another machine ready, and my
draft number being among the first on the
list, made another effort to enlist, so that
would have the chance of getting in the
branch that l wanted to. The next dav I
tried to enlist in the aviation corps and again
was turned away.
This week, my number having been called
and having passed the physical test, sup.
pose l will be drafted and placed in any
branch of the service, and all my training
that have had in flying will be Of no &C.

Camp Whitman's Advantages

To the Editor of The Tribune.
! Sir: In looking about for place to hsrbor
the youth from this or any other part Of the
country who soon are to do their share in
making the world "safe for democracy" it
/ is the consensus of opinion among thousands
of persons who have recently had the good
/ fortune to pay Camp Whitman a visit tina.
! this site should not be overlooked by the
powers that be.
Last year this camp was chosen mainly be-
cause of the natural advantages it afforded
for troop concentration purposes, being itself
somewhat wild and having little to boast Of
except it's high and dry location and its cli-
matte healthfulness. But this was enough.
Expert engineers have done the rest, until to-
day Camp Whitman, with its 1000 acres OF
soil, lying in a beautiful valley at the foot Of
! the Pawling range of mountains, can be truly
called one of the finest military camps in the
United States.
| In addition to the above mentioned advan.
! tages should not be forgotten the complete
absence of mosquitoes. This, coupled with the
cool night air in this section of the country,
makes ideal sleeping conditions, thus afford
ing the soldier the rest so essential for the
following days work.
of Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd Coils, the camp
quartermaster, and his aids Major Smith
and Captain Ackerson, who with staff OF
engineers have been working day and night
for the past six weeks to bring the camp up
to its present state Of efficiency.
Ample railroad facilities for passenger and
freight traffic abound. Telegraph, telephone
and postoffice stations are ready for business.
Sewers have been installed; the water is pure
and cold the roads have been reconstructed
until they resemble macadam; a small river
has been damned and scores of shower baths
have been established
An open air moving picture theatre has
been constructed, and the parade and drill
grounds are in excellent condition; IN fact,
everything for the comfort Of Uncle Sans
soldiers, whether they come in companies.

Twisting Facts

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your cartoon of Hearst in Monday
issue was appropriate. There is nothing IN
Journalism so mean and contemplate las
half truths and twisting of facts to suit.
Take, for instance, the editorial in Mon
DAYS Evening Journal" "Rooseyelts Mn
Lined Up Comfortably for Military Service
1t goes on to say that Mr.. and Mrs. Kermit
Roosevelt were met at the station by the
Ambassador to Spain and to describe the
difference it makes whether you line up as
an ordinary and unknown Sammy, soon 10 De
shot and forgotten" or travel with your wife
to be met by an ambassador How many peo-
pie reading this editorial know that MT
willard Ambassador to Spain, is Mrs. ker-
init Roosevelts father, with whom she Is
going to make her home during the absence
of her husband in the service of our alliesE
The object Of these editorials Is to create
class hatred and dissension among the Allies
The real facts are hidden to suit his pro-
German propaganda M

A Mumer for Hearst
Time the Government Took Note Of
His Activities

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to commend your cartoon
on the front page Of your paper of the 9Th.
1t ought TO be clear to any intelligent person
that Hearst-the most dangerous, the most
reckless, the most revolutionary journalist
who has ever stained the annals OF American
iournalism-has taken off his coat" in a
desperate attempt to save his friend the
Kaiser.
1t is a great pity that there is not some
means Of preventing Hearst's abuse Of the
freedom granted the public press. And Hearst
is not an enemy to be despsed. He is an
adept at setting class against class and race
against race. He will! carry his torch into
powder magazine with the utmost reckless
ness if he thinks the explosion will blow him
a little nearer the Presidency-the goal OF
his sublimely ridiculous ambition.
II was the inspiration of his infamous cam
paign against Mckinley which, in the opinion
of most, winged the assassin's bullet that cut
short his life.
It is high time the government put mul,
fer on this cheap dispenser of fake news ana
filthy advertisements.

The Slackers
(From The Baltimore SUM

tFrom Inc buVlNloTe sum
II is shame than any man between FL
and 81, barring those with inherited troubles,
should not be equal to military service.
That so large a number are in the defective
or doubtful class speaks badly for our modes
of life and demonstrates the need of gen.
eral system of physical culture. One out
standing practical lesson taught by the draft
figures is the necessity of improving Ameri-
can physique by the adoption Of an intell-
gent training system in youth that will
reach all children and that will help to cure
physical weaknesses and to develop strength
and endurance.
The chief defect revealed by the draft ex-
aminations, however, is Of the mind, not Of
the body. II is a case in which the flesh is
not only weak, but the spirit is unwilling.
The government should not hesitate to take
these weaklings in hand and TO restore them
to the enjoyment Of vigorous life through its
military sanatoria, wherever there is prob
ability that such benevolent treatment will
eficacious.

Called to High Honor

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: If the drafted boys take the correct
view It will help them to measure up to a
great opportunity in the worlds supreme
crisis. Destiny has signaled them to high
to his country's call shall have the imperish-
able fame of a savior-not only of America,
but Of the world
The right of man to think and govern him
self is imperilled by force that has usurped
that sacred boon, and under hypocritical pre-
tence is claiming authority from God to rule
because of ability to kill the greater number
Of human beings.
The only alternative left us is to fight fire
with fire, or become cringing vassels of a
tyranny that embodes the colossal crime of
the ages, and if successful will become TIE
endless scourge of hell. Millions of free
men arise quickly and say gladly, Here am
I, send me-" So we and our fathers went
in the COS.
Life has always meant more to the writer
for having pressed eagerly into his country's
service when a mere youth. Twice at six
teen years of age and once at seventeen, after
enlistment he was rejected by the mastering
officer, but finally got in the last year of the
war by his mother signing his papers. The
war ended, he entered college at eighteen,
graduating at twenty-five and entering his
profession at once thereafter.
II you live there will be lasting content
ment and new initiative. The country, too,
will care for you and your relatives as it
has done before, providing liberal pensions.
If you fall fighting for the liberty of the
world, "you will not have died in vain"

Doing the Enemy's Work

! Indications from Albany are that oppo-
sition to Governor Whitman's food control
/ legislation is weakening. The legislators
who are backing the inadequate measure
now before the two houses are said to be
willing to compromise with the Governor.
They will yield to him the power to APP
point the food commissioners power
properly and logically his-if he will re-
frain from advocating "socialistic" bill.
/ That is, they will leave to the Executive
his proper powers and functions if he will
consent to have foisted on the public at
this time a measure which seems to give
means of relief, but which in practice
could not and would not help soldiers
families and workers struggling in the
| grip of food extortioners.
! Governor Whitman should fall into no
such trap. The issue is precisely the one
which he stated in his speech at Sodus-
whether INSCRIPTIONS and greedy food
gamblers or the people are to prevail. The
consumers now are exploited. The farm
ers are exploited. Middlemen, commission
men, distributors, skim the cream. They
practically dictate the terms of purchase
of foodstuffs from the producers; they con-
troll the conditions of sale. Their profits,
/ big enough in all conscience in ordinary
times, have grown tremendously since the
war began, because of the vastly increased
demand for foods.
| Patriotism seems to mean to them moth
| ing in comparison with profits. They talk
of Supply and demand" and in the face of
hardship such as this city knew last win
ter, and assuredly will know again in
greater degree if remedy is not forth
coming, they utilize all the old tricks of
boarding, of destruction of crops or fail
ure to gather them after purchase from
the farmers and of arbitrary increase in
prices TO fatten their pockets.
There is one practical, comparatively
simple way in which the state and its mu-
inequalities can break this vicious and
wasteful system. That is state or city
purchase and sale Of foodstuffs, with pub
licly owned storage facilities and distribu-
ton plants or markets. 1t is this plan
which the upstate legislators oppose as
"socialistic." 1t may be. What Of it?
This is no time TO shy at name. The
government of Great Britain has become
socialized to a degree unthinkable before
the warm the interest of the people of
that country. The Federal government
here is rapidly following its example-not
rapidly enough in many respects for the
expeditions and efficient carrying on Of our
part in the war. To strain at Socialism"
in food control and permit waste of foods,

the United States. So, right this minute, she
ought to be going about the getting OF het
great army very, very seriously, and not
amusing herself as she always has oeeh
doing. It will mean terrible sacrihces ror
every one before the end arrives, but we
must go through with it, not just because
Germany has killed some hundreds OF our
citizens and we are fighting to get reparation,
but because of the great ideal Of the war, the
crushing of rotten system and justice Tor
little nations, which will never come ABOUT
with any halfway peace. On, If the United
States will only realize her opportunity IN
time! Every hour means so much. 1t is not
going to be any four or five hundreds OF
thousands of American soldiers who are to
win the war, but great army OF three or
four millions.
81 am not criticising anything that has
beer done or has not been done since we have
declared war. | am just sore at the frivolous
idea of the country toward the war, as re-
fected in all the newspapers. ! am SICK OF
looking at picture after picture of women
soldiers and Boy Scouts. Why don't the peo-
pie as a whole over there realize the horrible
thing that is in store for them?
LAST night saw a regiment marching of.
As it was in town, they went 'musique
tete' There is nothing so inspiring as these
blue ranks, with their thousands of rifles
marching steadily off to the sound Of the
"Sambre ct Meuse"; big fellows and little
ones; every now and then little dog, on
string, trotting alongside-the ensemble
makes the most emotional thing know. You
think of SO many things as you watch them;
the great power Of such regiment of men;
the sufferings that they have been through
and are about to go through again; the idea
of quiet determination which they give you
when the music stops for a moment and you
hear just the steady tramp of the feet, and
watch wave after wave come around the
corner and pass off into the distance. You
think Of the Marine, Verdun, the Somme and
above all, of France, to fight for France, to
push back the Germans; and Of Alsace-Lor-
raine. You will feel the same when you see
our own soldiers march down Broadway the
day they embark for France. 1t will be so
different thing from a fiat and stupid pa
rade."

Wbv Not Practise Own Preaching

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos of the interesting discussion
in your paper about the form and size Of the
ideal newspaper, and in view of the presence
in this city of the English newspaper king,
it may interest some Of your readers to peruse
an extract from an article contributed by
Lord Northcliffe to the January issue of The
North American Review" 1901:
with the newspapers Of the whole civilized
world before me each week, | look in vain for
any great and impressive stroke of original
ity or daring We still cling to the clumsy
and awkward shape in which our newspapers
are issued. and the man who has attempted
to manipulate one or them on a windy day
will best appreciate the force Of my remarks.
Why should this relic of the days of the old
and slow fiat printing press still inconven-
fence US daily? By the use of improved ma
chinery it would be possible to issue the
newspaper of the future in what is obvious
ly its proper form-a small, portable and
neatly indexed publication Of the size of page
of The North American Review and the
bulk and appearance OF the New YORK out-
look ~, the best Of weekly reviews. Some
thing of the kind has been done in Germany,
and one proposal to issue daily journal in
handy form was made in England by Mr..
Stead, but fell through"
do not know what the size of "The Out
look" was in those days, but many of us can
remember the warm welcome we gave to the
recent change to the present size. "The North
American" too, appears to have Partially
Though not very appreciable) for something
larger, If We may compare the bound volume
of 1901 with recent issues. But why hasn't
Northcliffe instituted some of the reforms for
which ne was clamoring more than sixteen
years ago? Certainly it was not from lack Of
either initiative or opportunity.

Horses in Hot Weather
Iitor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: How many people who have been
suffering from this dreadful heat wave and
who have sought to mitigate II 1. own suf-
fering in every possible way have stopped to
consider the excessive distress of our most
faithful and accomplishing servants, horses
Much that they suffer is wholly unneces-
sary. They are in many cases overloaded
they are driven hard when they ought to be
spared, and. oh! most cruel Of all, they are
many of them made to suffer tortures from
thirst Why do they not wear hats with wet
sponges beneath them! Why are they not
oftener hosed? At least they might have a
few buckets of water thrown over them.
When the poor beasts succumb they arc,
in nine cases out Of ten, left to gasp out
their agony in slow death, instead Of being
put out of misery.
trust that the voice Of The Tribune may
be raised in behalf of these victims.
