duces the records to prove the untru'hs III
the statement.
The record on both sides of this case has
been made. That is one truth Judge hyiah
has uttered. On the Mayors side IS the
record of his Administrations record so
fine and clean. so intelligent and eihcieh.
that no administration has ever equalleu

ton and reform of the Police Department,
the reduction of fire losses, extension OF
fire prevention and lessening OF cost OF
oneration by the Fire Department the
adoption of improved methods OF street
cleaning and snow removal by the street

record means that New York is better
safer. cleaner. healthier city to live IN than
ever before and that the taxpayers dol
lars are being spent to better advantage
than ever before.
On Judge Hylan's side, too, the record Is
complete-a record Of subservlency 10
Hearst and Murphy proved by his refusal
10 meet interrogators, his decl1natlon TO
answer questions his inability to make a
statement on the stump outside of his
canned speeches. His qualifications for
office-if any-are unknown. HIS cam
paign arguments are mere assertions, ire
ouentlv untrue. Behind him are the forces
Represented by Hearst and Murphy, the
forces of Gemagogy and political corrup-
ton.
1t is high time for Judge Hylan to seek
70 make his justification for aspiring to the
great Office of Mayor under such condl-
tions. 1t is high time for him to present
his defence. if his advisers can think OF
any. Instead, he sidesteps. He has not
the manliness of Mr.. Hillquit, who def'
nitely states his anti-American attitude.
He has not even the courage of Mr.. Ben
nett. who, mistaken as he is in his canvass
az least is willing to meet his adversarles
and contest publicly the issues
Judge Hylan is a figurehead for Hearst
and Murphy The only way to keep these
dark forces out Of the City Hall is to vote
for Mayor Mitchell, the man who has made
good.

Hearst Wants to Control
If He Can't. He Opposes Officials
Everywhere
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As the public is almost wholly nc
pendent upon the press TO keep tab on poil'-
ical events. il seems TO me that the fact
that all Of the newspapers in greater New
York worthy Of the name are supporting
Mayor Mitchell is conclusive evidence 'na'
his past performances merit such support
and that the best interests OF the city VIII
be conserved by his continuance IN ONCE
lie has not left us in doubt "a TO ms s'ahu
on any issue before the public. and that Is
much more than can be said for any Of his
opponents, who have done nothing SO far but
side-step
To my mind one of the strongest reasons
why Mayor Mitchell should receive the IN
divided support Of all patriotic Americans
is because OF his emphatic refusal TO tase
orders from Hearst. This journalistic out
law was never known to support cahdi-
date he did not think he could control II
elected. He has made some mistakes. ana
il seems Mayor Mitchell is one of them It's
rule or ruin with Mr.. Hearst. Official nom
osty. fitness and the public welfare are
never determining factors with MIR. Hearst
Mr.. Hearst supported Joseph d. Phelan
for Mayor Of San Francisco. He was elect
ed, and is known as the best Mayor that
ci.y ever had But like Mayor Mitcnei,
Mayor Phelan showed his independence, and
Mr.. Hearst went after him" az the saying
goes Between the administration Of Mayor
Phclan and the present administration OF
Mayor Rolph the political influence OF Mr.
Hearst prevailed, and poor old Frisco was
governed By such notorious characters a.
Eugene Schmitz. p. II. McCarty and Boss
Abe Ruef The first two named managed TO
keep out Of the penitentary. but not so with
the last. Fourteen years for Abe!
James d. Phelan was elected United
States Senator on the Democratic ticket by
a plurality Of some $4,000 from the Repub-
lican State of California. Mr.. Hearst sup
ported his Republican opponent.
This shows what the people Of California
think Of Mr.. Phelan. and it also shows what
they think Of Mr.. Hearst. F. H. ALLEN.

Milk Regulation by Food Commission

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In reading various comments on he
food regulation am at loss 20 understand
why, with a system on regulation already pre-
pared in use, it cannot be applied 70 milk
companies, cold storage plants. etc
Under the New York State Public Service
missions law public utilities. stree, rai.-
ways, electric lighting companies. etc. are re.
ouired TO keep accurate record of their eapi
tai and expenditures, reporting same 10 tho
commissions. Their operating expenses az.
also reported to the commissions month b.
month. In the case OF rate regulation the
commissions have already prepared figures
on the amount invested in the enterprs.
ir question and also figures showing the
earnings and expenses of the enterprise.
The milk companies claim they wish onlyi
10 per cent profit. Other public utilities are
allowed only s per cent. The control Of ID.
milk supply is even more important utility
than control Of transportation or lighting "a.
cilities. Therefore, il should be even more
subject to regulation. Why canno, food
commission be established to control milk
companies and all other food distributing cor
porations having large privileges? Let these
companies report to the Food Commission as
the public utilities now report 20 the Public
Service commissions. Then, before they can
make raise in the price they will have to
establish the fact that they are operating At
loss at the old rate. even as the public
utilities now do.
Az an accountant for one OF these public
utilities and thoroughly familiar with n.
working of rate regulations under the SYSTEM
| would like 20 ask the direct question. Why
wouldn't this sort Of regulation be feasi'
ble?" II. c. MOORE. Jr

Footgear for Nurses

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: After reading "Drafted's" criticism of
the high heel in to-day's Tribune should like
to add for the benefit of those interested my
experience while in one Of the large and busy
hospital training schools in this country. Our
hours on duty were twelve and sometimes
more We were on our feet most Of the time,
and would have suffered as q result had We
not been well advised. The nurses doctor ex-
planned the structure of the loot 20 Us, giving
US certain rotary foot exercises. He recon-
mended moderately high heel FOR our gen
era use, as the arch Of a woman's foot is apt
70 fall if the fat heel is much used. A fiat
heel shoe permitted for few hours each
day only. and this method proved entirely
successful. NURSE

Don't Take Away the Vote!

One of the most disturbing reports that
has come out of Washington for long
time is that which credits the office of the
Judge advocate general of the army with
an intention to rule that citizens serving
in our armies abroad must not be allowed
TO vote. II is said that an opinion Will
soon be submitted to Secretary Baker hold
ing that it is "inexpedient to extend the
voting privilege to soldiers abroad because
it would interfere with their principal mis-
sion on the other side"
If Secretary Baker ever receives such
an opinion he ought to know what to do
with it. 1t would be, in our judgment,
chastity blunder for the War Department
10 rule that citizens of any state in the
Union. serving in the armies of the United
States. either abroad or at home must for
felt their right to suffrage. 1t Is a right
which our soldiers exercised in the Civil
War and in the Spanish War. They are
none the less citizens because they take
up arms in defence Of their country. They
are better citizens because they do take up
arms. and any state would do them
grievous wrong if it sat by and permitted
them to be disfranchised simply because
they have gone beyond its borders on
mission of patriotism.
The reported ruling of the Judge advo-
cate generals Office would put premium
on slackerism. Many thousands of New
Workers above the CONSUMPTION age limit
have volunteered for service against Ger
many. They are the flower Of our popula-
ton. Shall their votes count for nothing,
and the power of the men who have stayed
behind be increased proportionately at
their expense? Shall the conscripts who
were accepted because of their fitness be
penalized for the benefit Of the conscrpts
who were rejected because of their unfit
ness?
The idea is grotesque. It reverseS all
normal values. 1t could emanate only
from a bureau which has no understanding
Of the value which genuine Americans put
on the right Of suffrage. 1t betrays an
entire misapprehension of the point Of
view of the citizen soldier and of his rela-
tons to the state.
As to the practical inconvenience Of
voting while on foreign duty, they are
hardly worth considering. This state has
prepared ballots for its soldiers abroad and
has arranged to deliver and collect them.
No particular day is set for voting. The
soldier can mark his ballot at his conven-
fence. The state owes him that concession,
and if it is ready TO 90 TO the expense and
trouble of polling its citizens who are in
the military service it would look like an
exhibition of martinetism for the Federal
government u interfere and prevent the
poll.
We do not believe that the War Depart
ment will try to disfranchise our soldiers
in France. If it does, it will haze to show
the public and Congress some urgent mill
:ary reason for what would look on the
surface like a wholly unreasonable denial
to the citizen soldier Of an easily exercised
political right

Sauce for the Gander

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Those who know me know that |
have been an advocate of woman suffrage,
also man suffrage, but the antics Of La
Toilette in the Senate and the pugilistic an
tics of Hefn and Norton in the past few
months have shown me that it would be a
very unwise policy to continue letting people
subject TO such hysteria vote. Therefore,
would it not be wise and just TO take from
all men the privilege of the franchise be
cause these few men have acted in an I'M
seemly manner?

strips of lace ana edge the whole

This she did. leaving an opening In
