Fruits Of Rush Work
Disaster Almost Certain to Follow
Enactment Of Brown Bill

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. Why should the fact that certain
man is an authority on one subject m'sIead
the public into thinking him infalll0le on
al subjects? Why is Henry Ford our great
est authority on tobacco? And why espe-
cially. is Senator Elon R. Brown our great
est authority on industrial accident proven
ton work?
BEFORE going further with the pernIclous
Rro,yn bill and it's provisions to withdra"
tho nresent almost adequate safeguarding
of factory workers. | would suggest that an
Investigation of the subject and of the knowI-
edge and opinions of the National Council
for Industrial Safety will convince the LegiS-
iotpre that better information than senator
Browns is to be had
casual survey of this situation indicates
that il is proposed in the interests OF rush
work (which is one of the most dangerous
pbases of any kind of manufacture to aool-
ish most Of the accident preventive apparatus
which can now be forced upon penny-wlse
manufacturers by state authority.
n the omniscient Solons at Albany desire
not 70 have the responsibility for another
Eddystone disaster upon their eonsclehces
they will agree that hasty tamperng WIN
safety legislation should be undertaken under
evpert and not under amateur advice IL
certainly seems dangerous to undertake y
a. tho instance of the man who sought to
leealize the exploitation of female labor on
a schedule Of sixty hours per week IN New
York canneries as recently as last summer.
Give Senator Brown and the shortsighted
manufacturer chance TO cooperate and 1t
is only matter Of time until the Eddystone
disaster will be reproduced on bigger scale.

Start Regulars and Best Guardsmen

IRON The Indianapolis Nc'r''
We have. of course. no men who begin to
compare with the regulars in efficiency. They,
therefore. should be the first to 60. as they
could more quickly than any others profit by
the training behind the battle line and in IT.
Those regiments Of our National Guard that
served on the Mexican border last summer
are not far behind the regulars. The best OF
them should be sent with the regulars, and
should go with them as part of the first eX-
reditionary force. General Joffre favors the
prompt sending of such force But we
should try to realize just what he means.
Such an expedition as he has in mind would
be an elaborate military machine with all the
various auxiliary branches which are part of
complete military establishment. Telegraph
and telephone lines, automobile transport
service. railway lines and railway experts,
rolling stock base repair shops, and large
force of avators with aeroDlanes hangers,
etc-all these would necessarily be included.
The men whom we send should be our best.
men who will be able TO render a practical
IS well as sentimental service. If we de-
sire to be represented on the firing line in
the least possible time. and to be represented
worthily. we shall send our regulars and our
most effective Guardsmen first.

The Place to Defend the United States
IRON The Buffalo Express u

IRON The BNDdio fJpre5Sl
Some question may be raised by Americans
who have not yet come to realize the full
gravity of the war as to whether the govern
ment should send abroad any men who do
not volunteer for foreign service. The an
swer to that may be seen in the devastated
fields and ruined cities Of France, Belgium,
Poland. Serbia and Rumania. Wherever the
German armies have gone they have left be-
hind them trail Of horror such as the world
has not seen since the power of the Turks
and the Tartars declined. Remembering
what ruin German invasion brings, the first
thought Of every American in his sober
senses must be that German invasion must
be prevented from ever reaching this coun-
try. The place to defend the United States
from invasion is not within the United
States. but in Europe. We cannot. there
fore admit right Of any citizen soldier to
be kept at home unless he volunteers TO go
abroad. To do so would be to abandon the
entire principle Of the equal obligation Of all
citizens to defend the country.

Down Clubsl

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There are about 5000 golf clubs in
the country At an average of 100 acres this
means 100000 acres Of farm land held out
of use.
Golf inctes to profanity. lying about the
score. wife neglect inattention to business,
Sabbath breaking and other vices.
Why not prohibit golf during the war?
On the redeemed links l00,0O0OOO bushels
of potatoes might be grown. This quantity
would furnish 3,OO0,OOO,0OO messes of French
fried potatoes.
Professor Dumkopf. of Yale University, es-
Inmates that s,16s,432 foot pounds Of energy
are daily wasted by golfers. The same energy
applied to hoeing corn would produce enough
corn for 1891 ,6s7 .4O3 mullins

MORAL REFORM.

AS an Inspiration

From The 81. Louis RepWbic'
The principal reason why France would
like to see the American flag in France ap-
pears to be the moral or nspirational effect
it would have As an unnamed French sol
der explains in The New York Tribune. the
French army is not simply a war machine.
II does not obey trained officers in ma
chinelike way, but responds gloriously TO per
sonal leadership. II is an emotional and
heroic army, and for this reason this French
man thinks the presence Of Colonel Roose-
welt in France would be a great help. The
American flag would appeal to this same
spirit and would be anything but an encour-
aging sight for the men in the other line Of
trenches.
This line Of argument and the weight OF
Marshal JofTre's opinion may turn the scale
in favor of the early departure Of an eXpedi-
ton to France
