indictments, If Justified

District Attorney Swami announces
negotiations with leaders Of the dairy
mems organizations to induce them to re
duce the price of milk to what 1t was be-
fore the October increases. What bust
ness has the District Attorney to decker
with these men?
If they have violated the antitrust law
and he can collect the evidence against
them. il is his duty to indct them and see
that they are brought to trial as soon as
the condition Of the court calendars per-
mits. If they have violated no law, but
have only followed the methods of other
business combinations, they are, at the
least, entitled to statement Of that fact.
Customers may then pay the price or re-
frain from using milk, according to the
state Of their purses.
For the District Attorney to talk one
day Of indictments and the next of dickers
10 reduce milk prices savors Of a use Of the
powers Of his Office as a club which even
customers benefited by price reduction
could hardly countenance.

Where TO Keep Liberty Bonds

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: To encourage the sale of Liberty
bonds among people Of limited means and
make them popular / suggest that some place
or places should be provided where they can
be safely deposited against loss or theft. As
a rule. these people keep no box in safety
vault: neither can they afford 70 pay the
charge: they keep no bank account, and know
but little about banking business generally
but such as are thrifty do know that they
can Mace savings with savings banks and can
Withdraw them as needed.
Poor people cannot be expected 20 buy
United states bonds if they have no safe
place 70 keep them better than in their stock
ing. their bosom or fireplace.
I hope. therefore. that some plan or place
will be made or provided where such worthy
persons can safely lodge their security free
a. expense, can cut Of the coupons when due
or obtain their bonds when needed

Why Not Smaller Bonds2

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Liberty Loan workers are contin-
ually declaring that the small investors are
needed to make it success, but the Treasury
Department takes no steps 10 attract these
small investors.
The lowest bond Is for $50; how many
small investors can give that amount? Banks,
trust companies and corporations are trying
90 help by offering to receive 81 down and
the remainder in weekly or monthly pay
nents. But the man or woman with very few
dollars hesitates 20 bind himself or herself
10 a continuous payment for nearly year.
Moreover. no certificates are ready, and they
naturally desire a tangible receipt for their
lard earned savings.
How preposterous 20 make $50 the lowest
figure for a popular loan! Great Britain
made IL a pound and | seem 20 remember
that her most successful loan had its lowest
figure five shillings, and every postoHice in
the country was open TO receive subscrip-
tons. H. II. W.

Mr.. Hillquit's "Americanism

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Nav I ask Mr. Morris Hiilquit, the
Socialist candidate for Mayor, how ne recon
Giles his weak kneed attitude toward our war
TO make the world safe for democracy with
the fearless stand taken Immediately on the
commencement of hostilities by Wilhelm
Hohenzollern, By such man as Gustaye
Herve. the French Socialist editor Of LA
Victoire" formerly LA Guerre Sociale"),
who had spent altogether nearly ten years Of
his life In Jail because Of his anti-militarst
propaganda, and b. Benito Mussoiin, the
Young Italian Socialist agitator and editor
of I'll Popolo dTtalia," who, with only few
francs in his pocket, resigned from the i'm
portant position he occupied on the "Ayanti,"
Of Milan, the Germanophile- pacihst organ Of
the so-called "Ohicial Socialists and with
half a dozen friends started newspaper
which did more than any other one publica-
ton in his country to line up Italy on the
side Of the Allies?
Herve is fighting with a pen Instead Of
with a bayonet because he Is almost blind.
Mussolin Is now recovering from a serious
wound received during service at the Italian
front. No one can question their sincerity
as Socialists But Herye beside being an
honest Socialist is also a good Frenchman,
and Mussolini beside being an uncompromis-
ing Socialist is also a patriotic Italian.
Mr.. Hillquit, too, doubtless, is an honest
Socialist
But what sort Of an American is he? Has
he been thoroughly "digested?"
And may | add with reference TO his ap-
peal on behalf Of the woman suffrage amend
ment that while on general principles favor
votes for women" when | realize that there
are in this great city thousands Of women

Humor, Canned and Fresh

Once in a long, long while you run into
an all-round human being blessed by the
fairies with the two separate and oppos-
ing gifts Of humor. He can tell yarns,
stories. anecdotes-the stock in trade of
the hard working humorist, amateur and
professional. He can also toss out the fresh
stuff. the humor born of talk, the original
fun that is utterly personal, quite epheme-
raj, and easily the best in the world. When
you discover such a wonder. appreciate
your blessings and drink while you may.
Miracles are rare.
In most mortals fairies repose only one
of the gifts and let it 90 at that. They
often go on and thoroughly negative
the other. The true story teller has his
list of records, replenished with more
or less frequency, which he slips in
one by one and plays for your bene-
TT, supposed or real He has no
original wit whatever Unless the last re-
mark reminds him of what Pat the Irish
man said when the nod fell on him he is

Liberty Bonds for Christmas Gift:

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: with the second Liberty Loan far be-
hind schedule, we must wake up and do
things in order to make il the success it
should be. / think that if the following sug-
eestions would be brought TO the attention
of some Of the larger business houses and
corporations they would greatly help the sale
Of Liberty bonds:
We all know that there are thousands of
concerns that present their employees with a
cash Christmas gift or sometimes a cash
bonus in appreciation Of their work during
the year. What American, or even for
cigner, would not prefer a Liberty bond 10
u cash bonus?
The employer or head Of concern may
buy the bonds and put them in safe until
Christmas, or he may take advantage Of the
liberal terms offered by Uncle Sam and pay
OF on instslments. This will cause no ex-
ira expense or trouble and will at the same
time perform a duty to country.

The School Strikes

Some genuine discomfort with a new and
strange school system can doubtless be
found in the school strikes of the last few
days. 1t would be extraordinary If such a
reorganization, however beneficial, could
be instituted without creating a little
criticism among the ignorant and Him
formed The bulk Of the demonstration,
however is plainly Of another character.
Il represents Tammanys last desperate eff
fort to fan the Gary school into political
issue The strikes are unquestionably en-
cineered by exa tly the same trouble
hatchers who have been fighting the Gary
idea with lies and class prejudice ever
since the municipal campaign came with
in sight.
The fomenting centre of all the disturb
snce has been high school children. Now,
the Gary idea has not been applied to a
single high school in the city. The strike
of the high school boys and girls was due
to entirely different causes and length
ening Of the school day for which the Gary
system was not remotely responsible. But
by astutely preying upon the natural IN
stinct Of rebellion in the children and also
the East Side hysteria of parents, an old
and familiar phenomenon. the Tammany
agents have succeeded in stirring up
sporadic protests in several East Side
Gary schools.
1t is infammable material that these
politicians are playing with. East Side
riots Of mothers have protested against
some Of the most beneficial health meas
ures which have been undertaken. Aliens
in a strange land are the most easily led

Regularity" Not an Issue

1t is only by the widest stretch Of mag
nation that any voter can deem that party
regularity demands the support of Mr..
Bennett this year instead Of Mayor
Mitchell. The former by luke won the
nomination for Mayor at the Republican
primaries. But his party standing is not
unassailable. He has been Progressive
end has run for office as a Progressive.
Moreover, at a recent meeting in Brooklyn
he refused to permit the distribution Of
campaign literature advocating the cleo
ton of candidates for other Offices who
likewise carried the Republican primaries.
He "hogged" the meeting and flouted the
very issue of party regularity he has
raised. As between Mayor Mitchell, Demo
crat. and Mr.. Bennett ex-Progressive,
who refuses TO cooperate with other Re
publicans, there is nothing TO choose on
the score of regularity
Mr.. Root does we'll at this time to bring
forward the portion Of the address in
which the Constitutional Convention Of
1894 explained to the public the reasons
for separating municipal from state and
national elections. It involves that very
point of party regularity 1t was done
"to the end that the business affairs Of
cur great municipal corporations may be
managed upon their own merits. uncon-
trolled by national and state politics, and
TO the end, also that the great issues of
national and state politics may be deter
mined upon their merits, free from the
disturbing and often demoralizing effect Of
local contests" That is, municipal candi-
dates were to be chosen for merit, regard
less of party affiliations, and no Repub-
ican who voted for a Democrat or Demo
crat who voted for a Republican sacrificed
or invalidated his party standing. Tam
many fought the reform, naturally.
Mayor Mitchell is a candidate on merit.
That merit has been proved in four years
of splendid administration. During three
Of those years the usual problems of gov
eminent have been tremendously compll-
Gated by others arising from war condi-
tons, but the Mayor and his colleagues
have handled them all with notable sue
cess He has been not only an able, in
telligent, efficient city executive, but a
loyal and fearless lieutenant of the Fed
eral government, expressing Americanism
and suppressing sedition with a keen sense
of the need for undivided loyalty in this
crisis.
So far as any one can tell from his pub
lie career or his campaign utterances, Mr..
Bennett has slight qualifications for this
tremendous office. He, like Judge Hylan,
has made campaign Of negation, not Of
affirmation. That is not a policy to APP
peal TO voters The Republicans Of the
city furnished good part Of the Fusion
vote which elected Mayor Mitchell four
years ago. They have had no reason to re-
gret it. They will have every reason 10
regret it if enough Of them vote for Mr.
Bennett this year to throw the election to
Tammany's candidate and Hearst's

REPLIES to Sufragists
or OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May ! point out obvious replies to
Judge Wadhams and Everett P Colby, who
seem to have been hard pressed, at the Car
negie Hall meeting, October 3, for anything
resembling reasons" why they favor suf-
frage for women?
Judge Wadhams says "a government de-
rires IT'S just powers from the consent Of
the governed" If this is true. IS it rot
ncedful 70 secure the consent Of the women
to allow this irksome burden of voting to
be put upon them?
7 will never change my views opposed 20
forcing an unwelcome and unfeminine duty
upon women. so long as they themselves OPP
pose Il in the ratio OF about twenty TO one.
Mr.. Colby said it took ten years 20 get a
bill through in Jersey prohibiting minors
from working all night. He adds Women
would have had that bill passed in one day"
What's the matter with the Jersey women >
New York women and those of other states
have always got what they wanted. without
the vote, and got it promptly, if not in one
day II the Jersey women are less persua-
siy- than their sisters in other states, will
giving them the vote, which will greatly re-
duce their influence, make them more pow
erful? Mr. Colby has only TO look at those
states which have woman suffrage for an
swer Once she gets the vote, woman loses
her paramount position Of influence and es-
TEEN, and is brought down to the common
level But so Blind are the suifragists that
this reduction TO the ranks is what they
clamor for As for the crooked and evil
influences" which Mr. Colby says oppose
forcing suffrage down unwilling women's
throats. what does he think Of the anar-
chists, and particularly the feminists, who
swell every suffrage parade and discredit
and dishonor the good name and the intelli-
gence Of misguided, but at least reputable,
advocates Of woman suffrage?
