ONE CENT
LETTER POSTAGE,

One cent "drop" letter postage
will probably become reality al
a result of Legislation which it i.
expected the present session oil
congress will enact as a first ster
in the movement for general rate
of one cent for ordinary letters.
An active campaign has been in
progress for the last five years
looking towards one cent letter
postage. This has eliminated in
a definite agreement on the part
of legislative authorities at Wash
ington to grant a one cent local
rate IN all cities and towns where
deliveries are made. This is the
first step, the one which counts,
according to those who are prose
cutting this campaign towards Sc
curing a general rate for the en-.
tire country.
In connection with a one cent
rate for local first class mail deli
veries it is planned to have a zone
system of rates for second class
matter, which is expected to in
crease the charges on all periodic
ais of nation wide circulation.
The proposition has been put in a,
concrete way by being made a
part OF the appropriation bill of

any city or rural district for deli

For handling newspapers and
magazines a zone plan has been
proposed the idea being to divide
the country into eight zones, as
follows:
Local, first, second and third
zones-under 800 miles, cent

LIQUOR Advertisements and the Mails

The provision in the Postoffice appro-
priation bill barring liquor advertisements,
even in newspapers and periodicals, from
mail distribution in states having laws
against such advertising is merely step
to bring Federal and state enactments into
harmony. 1t backs up the state laws as
recent decision of the Supreme Court backs
up the state laws about importation OF
liquor shipments into dry states.
Of the justice of this there can be no
question. There is no sense, or fairness, IN
preventing circulation of liquor advertis-
ing in mediums issued within dry state
if the mails may bring into that state out
side publications filled with the forbidden
matter. For itself, The Tribune has de-
cided it to be wise to refuse all liquor ad-
vertising, though New York State is not
yet dry nor likely to become dry in many
years. 1t commends that policy to other
publications DESTROYS of maintaining clean
advertising columns and of retaining the
right to a countrywide circulation.

An Optimisfs Thoughts
Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t would seem that the murderous
U-boat policy has already shot its bolt and
the worst is over. The result of the first
week in February was grave and had the
pace kept up the result might have proved
the German boast Of one million tons in thirty
days no idle boast, but, happily, the sub
marine apparently is destined to be another
instance Of we'll intentioned frghtfulness
run amuck and their forecast as incorrect
as was that of the Zeppelin. With simply
unbounded belief and faith in the glorious
British navy | believe the effort to starve
out England is doomed to utter failure. The
gambler has cast his last throw and has lost.
Germany knows well what is in store for
her in France in the very near future, and is
frantic to cripple Britain before Nemesis
overtakes her. Which ever way one looks
the outlook fer the Allies is most bright, and
the time for Teutonic disaster draws rapidly
nigh. May God speed the day.

Tanning Rubber

CFrOm The Cleveland Lcddor)
Ten wears ago the world depended for
crnde rubber upon the great forests of the
Amazon valley, the valley Of the Congo and
other places in the tropics where trees yield
ing rubber were found growing uncared for,
as nature planted them. In 1907 Brazil fur
nished $4,000 tons of rubber and $4,000 tons
came from other countries, chiefly in equa-
torial Africa, where rubber was gathered by
natives who searched the jungles for rubber
producing trees. Only about 500 tons were
obtained from plantations on the Malay PEN
insula and the islands of the East Indies.
Last year Brazil supplied $4,000 tons of
crude rubber. slight falling off from the
mark set ten years ago, and the other regions
in which rubber is gathered as natural
growth of the forests sent $4,000 tons to the
markets of the world. But the losses IN
"wild" rubber were far more than Offset by
the great increase in the yield OF rubber
plantations, chiefly on the Malay Peninsula
and nearby islands. The tame rubber
amounted to about 10000 tons, a gain of
nearly $4,000 tons over the preceding year,
ityelf record breaker, and more than ten
times the quantity produced as recently as
1911.
So great natural staple has been tanned
in ten years, and that triumph of constructive
enterprise has made possible the enormous
growth and wonderful success of the automo-
bile industry Of the United States and the
world. II is an achievement which conveys
striking intimation of the possibilities which
still exist Of creating new industries Of i'm
mense value, by wiser use of the resources of
the soil--the earth which man has lived on
and used for thousands of years without ever
understanding fully what he could do with it
and what il is ready TO do for him.

Excerpts from the article follow

The Germans would revolt to the last man

much less will the restriction of ornaments
be practicable. Even though such restrictions
may be temporarily imposed upon Germany
the step would prove inadequate to hold the
growing tendency of German mllitarism per-
marently in check, as is eloquently testified
by Prussian history.

Prussian forces constituted the chief factor
in defeating Napoleon. With these facts IN
mind, it is not difficult to see the impossi.
bility of carrying out the destruction OF
Prussian militarism, and as the natural Sc
ouence the attitude Of the Allies must be
altered and such dclusion discarded.

interesting information to young woman
who herself CHANGED at that time TO be
engaged in the laboratories as an anas-

with no more secrecy than other opera

to believe that those concerned in physio-
logical and pathological research are
afraid to have their work scrutlnized by

The intolerable thing is that they should

Open Doors to Laboratories

Through one Of their patient and in
dustrious supporters at Albany the ladies
of the New York Anti-Vivisection Society
have contrived to secure another public
hearing on the subject of the "open door,"
as they call it. A bill lately referred TO
the Judiciary Committee of the State Sem
ate provides, it seems, for "a committee
which shall have the right Of entry to lab
oratories where vivisection is practised,"
and, according TO the president Of the
Anti-Vivisection Society, "it is expected
that the personnel of the committee will be
so high that their testimony will be &C
copied by the public at its face value"
1t is one Of the oldest and most foolish
complaints Of the anti-vivisectionists that
experiments on animals are done in secret
for fear that the horrors of the laboratory
might shock the public conscience and
thus put an end forever TO those deeds of
darkness in which Psychologists are sup
posed to take fiendsh delight. Natu-
rally enough, laboratories are not open at
all times TO all corners: that is true of all
laboratories and of all places where men
are engaged in any kind Of work that re-
quires undivided attention. The public
cannot wander at will into the work.
shops Of chemists and engineers, nor are
the operating theatres in hospitals free at
all hours 10 the idle passersby. But no
one imagines for that reason that the
workers in these places are engaged in
evil practices.
The absurdity Of the outcry against
tho closed door was successfully shown a
few years ago when an eminent anti-vivi-
sectionist was repeatedly invited to visit
the laboratories Of the University Of
Pennsylvania. Neither she nor any Of
her associates availed herself Of the OPP
portunity offered, yet this same woman
did not scruplc some time later to tell the
public that it was impossible TO gain adj
mission and added with brazen assurance

Teaching the Classics

The interesting correspondence which
has appeared in The Tribune since MIR.
Flexner's Modern School flashed across
our educational sky has pointed to one I'M
questionable flaw in the old system. That
was the failure of the old classical train
ing by its own standards and on its own
basis of theory.
The student who had his eight or nine
years of Latin and Greek did not learn
Latin and Greek. He took the slenderest
acquaintance with their lteratures. And
if any habits Of industry and application
and mental muscle could possibly be gained
from this slovenly waste of time no indi-
cation showed in his general mental out
real mental fibre grown in our colleges has
come not from the curricula but from the
self-invented activities-athletics, publica-
tions, etc.-in which our American colleges
abound. In passing it is worth noting how
closely these unofficial studies approx
mate the standards set by Mr.. Flexner:
They are closely related to life, they are
Accordingly interesting.
Just why were Greek and Latin taught
in so futile a fashion? We should say
that plain business common sense, let alone
modern efficiency, would give the answer
The collegiate system makes little attempt
to distinguish between the teacher and the
research worker. A professor is pro-
lessor, and the fact that man has made
excellent researches in interpreting Latin
inscriptions is held to be ample warrant
for setting him to the task of teaching a
class of fifty freshmen Virgil. The man
ufacturer that sent his laboratory men
out to sell his goods on the road would not
last very long in the business world. Yet
that is just the stupid bunder that any
number of our faculties make here year in
and year out. The failure of Journalism in
education shows more wildly in this point
perhaps than anywhere else. Such is the
faith in the matter, the rigmarole, of the
study, that the most vital factor of ALL the
mental leadership and persuasive person
atty of the teacher, is all but ignored.
Of course, Mr.. Flexner's school can re-
peat this blunder in respect of its new
material. If it does, the net gain to the
students will be little or nothing. But the
hope is that in discarding the old dogmas
the Importance of the teachers ability to
teach will regain it's proper position. If
so, it is entirely conceivable that the Mod
ern School can yet succeed in giving its
pupils exactly that essence Of Greek and
Latin which the old classicism boosted Of
and so exceptionally delivered.

Arms the Guarantee of Peace
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We venture the observation, backed by
TIE irrefutabe record OF the human race,
that so long as human nature is what it is
and as it is we shall have wars and rumors
of war beyond a shadow of a doubt. There
fore the only sensible and efficient guarantee
of its peace is for nation to be prepared
for defence-aye, armed and equipped in de-
fence of its self-respect its rights and it's
governmental freedom and life.
Plain common sense should be exercised in
go deeply important a matter as that of rem
dering impregnable to the onslaughts of an
enemy, however powerful and grasping, that
would conquer and subjugate it.
Though so terrible, sanguinary, distrustful
and destructive as conflicts of arms between
fellow mortals (subdivided into nations)
Unquestionably are, no nation upon this
planet that has been unjustifably insulted
and assaulted by another nation should quail
and cover before said challenge, and thereby
humbly plead for peace at any price.
'Tis true, very true, that our blessed land
of liberty is a great cosmopolitan republic
more so than was any other republic in its
time) all should be naught else but genu-
inely American in spirit, if not by birth.
Genuine Americanism is naught else but
smon-pure democracy.
The nation prepared for defence is not
likely to be insulted or dcfrauded by any
other nation, and therefore in the interest
of peace, our beloved country should be able
and willing TO stand by its historically hon
ored and beautiful symbolic flag against all
such nations as would fout it and tear it
down. p. X. p.
