MIR. Ordway's Change Of Duties

Mr.. Ordway's resignation as chairman
of the Civil Service Commission has en-
abled Governor Whitman to appoint him to
a vacancy in the Supreme Court, and so
to retain in the public service an official Of
high mental attachments, of splendid char
acter and of singular public spirit and
devotion to duty. IF it were not that this
transfer Of duties leaves him still devoting
himself to the public interest, there must
be general regret that he felt compelled
to give up his task in the commission.
He made there a record wholly good.
There fell TO him and his colleagues the
work of recognizing that branch of the
states service-not only of recognizing
it, but Of rehabilitating it. That work was
done efficiently, without splurging and
splashing, taking the civil service out Of
the slough of favoritism and politics, where
the Sulzer commission had left it, and put
ting it back on the merit basis, where it
belonged.
1t was recognized that his appointment
was the surest guarantee Governor Whit
man could give the state that the spoilsmen
would be compelled to keep their hands off
the payroll That is not to say that Mr..
Ordway and his fellow members of the
commission took politics out of the public
service. They could not do that. But what
they did do-what he insisted on doing
was to prevent the jockeying of eligible
lists and examinations, of promotions and
salary increases, and TO tighten up the ad-
ministration of the civil service regula-
tons, which under the preceding commits
sion had become incredibly lax.
In this, Mr.. Ordway says, and it is a
matter of record, he had the magnificent
support" Of Governor Whitman. The re
suit was a credit to them both-undoubted-
ly the strongest feature of Governor Whit
mans administration Of state affairs to
date. And the standard thus established
was so excellent that there is no chance
that, having been established, it can be
permitted to lapse.

'Twixt Darkness and Light
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent leading article addressed
to the British and French nations you warned
them that President Wilson's assimilation"
of the opposing forces in this awful conflict
really represented the reasoned opinion Of
the vast mass Of your people. II you are
correct IL is the most severe indictment OF
American intelligence ever drawn up. Not
so very long ago an American poet wrote:
"Once to every man and nation comes the
moment TO decide
In the strife Of Truth with Falsehood for
the good or evil side;
Some great cause. Gods new Messiah, offer
ing each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand and the
sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever twixt that
darkness and that light.
Hast thou chosen. o my people! on whose
party thou shalt stand
Ere the doom from its worn sandals shakes
the dust against our land?"

Real or Quart a Month" Prohibition

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Are the letters Of the Rev. DR.. Chal-
mers published in your columns to be re-
garded as en- advertisement or a divertisse-
ment? The Rev. DR.. Chalmers is a director
of the Anti-Saloon League Of this state, and
as the league collected only about $4,000
last year to push it's propaganda the Rev.
DR.. Chalmers is probably trying 20 get some
publicity free of charge.
II, as the reverend doctor states, the fight
against alcohol is getting more and more pro-
uounced, why do the prohibition laws of almost
every so-called prohibition state except the
use for medicinal and spiritual purposes? The
recent decision OF the United States Supreme
Court UNFOLDING the Webb-Kenyon law puts
the matter of real prohibition up 10 the peo-
pie OF any state. They can now decide
whether they want real prohibition or quart
a month" prohibition.
Watch them 20 back to license.

NO DEMAND FOR IRISH REPUBLIC
Home Rule Has Been the Goal of the
People Through -Four Decades
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

~ SuN SAAhOA VI iho AAibNAS'
Sir: Mrs. T. Sheehy Skeffngton is reported
TO have said that the people of Ireland no
longer want Home Rule-they demand an
Irish republic.
In face of actual happenings in Ireland
since the Easter Monday trouble, it is not
easy to believe the statement above credited
to the widow of the cultured Irishman who
lost his life as a result Of the rising.
Home Rule has been the demand Of the
Irish people since the days of Parnell, and
at no time during the four decades that have
elapsed since Parnel's entry into Irish life
from England.
The result Of the recent election in County
Cork proves conclusively that Redmond and
his Home Rule policy are stronger now than
in any time for ten years. In that county
a Home Rule candidate successfully con-
tested the Parliamentary representation
against an opponent holding Separation
views. In numerous other places minor con-
tests have proved beyond all doubt whatever
that John Redmond, his party and the Off
cial organization, the United Irish League.
are more firmly embedded in the hearts of
the people than ever before. In one of the
minor contests referred to close relative
of the late Shelby Skeflngton was decisively
defeated on local board In the district
where the family resides.
The Irish people by ponderous majorities
in all parts Of the island are declaring every
day against the rising and for the Irish
party JOSEPH P. COLLINS.

The New Track Removal Plans

1t goes without saying that the revised
terms Of the arrangement between the
Board Of Estimate and the New York Cen
trail & Hudson River Railroad for the
West Side track improvement must be
studied we'll and thoroughly before the
arrangement is approved. These terms
are distinctly more advantageous than the
tentative ones announced several months
ago. One important source Of criticism
has been eliminated in that the railroad
now is willing 10 have its elevated tracks
crossed or paralleled by railroads from
New Jersey which wish to enter Manhat-
tan, thus disposing of the possibility Of
marginal railroad monopoly. Moreover,
the new plans permit the roofing over of
the freight yards at Manhattanville-at
the city's expense, TO be sure. Also the
railroad is to give its own guarantee Of
title to property which it transfers to the
city-an important concession.
These concessions, advantageous to the
city as they are, do not lessen in the least
the objections of the most active band Of
critics-those who want some kind Of plan
adopted which Will not interfere with
Riverside Park. These critics consider,
from a local point Of view, a problem
which affects the whole city. Important
as is the aesthetic phase of the project,
represented by the handling of the park
problem, there are other phases of at least
equal Importance.
This is a question, primarily, of remov-
ing from grade certain railroad tracks
which have been for years, and now are, a
menace TO life, and of disposing of those
tracks and so handling the traffic they
serve as to permit modern, scientific i'm
provement of the city's West Side water
front. There is involved not only the ne
cessity for saving the lives Of the residents
along Death Avenue, but the possibility Of
beginning a port development which may
enable this great city to maintain its com
mercial supremacy. There is a possibility
also that the terminal and track readjust-
ment contemplated may be a factor in at
lacking the high cost of living.
No plan of improvement can be devised
which will leave Riverside Park IN
changed, because, unfortunately, the rail
roads tracks now run through the park.
The city is not in position, from the legal
or financial point Of view, to dictate terms
to the railroad. The process by which this
vital improvement must get started is
bound to be one of dickering. The city
now has within its hand better bargain
than it started with. 1t has TO consider
whether this amended plan does not rep
resent the last concession the railroad is
willing to make.
For the authorities, then, the question
has been whether the advantages TO be de-
rived from their bargain will offset the
disadvantages. 1t might be well for the
dwelers along Riverside Drive TO reflect
that Riverside Park is not now a perfect
and complete thing. IL will be chopped
I'D and it's park value lessened for four,
six, possibly eight, years while the relo-
cation work is in progress, and the process
of restoration viii take several years
thereafter. 1But at no time will the parks
