As viewed BY the Citizens Union. the
Issues OF the campaign "are the old ones
OF bossism and demagogism." II says
that Mr., Untermyer's capacity or legal
attainments are not at issue, but his
nomination for personal and political
reasons in place of a tried and expe-
rlenced Judge who has served long and
faithfully" is Mt Issue. In a
lesser degree the Tammany action on
Justice Newburger was repeated In con-
nection with Judge Richard II. Smith of
the City Court. In neither case is the
personality OF the candidate OF para
mount Importance. II Is the principle
that must be defended II judgeships are
to cease to be considered as political
spells, and II Ia on that basis that the
Citizens Union is undertaking to carry
on an active campaign this fall"
The union says that Robert L. Moran
has made an impartial presiding officer
In The Board Of Aldermen, but as a
member Of the Board of Estimate, with
three votes, he has disclosed neither in
dependence nor that degree Of capacity
for his duties that should be- demanded
of such an important public official"
He has in fact" the statement con-
tinues. been little more than a Hylan
rubber stamp He failed wholly to rise
to the occasion and perform high pub
lie service when he sldestepped the de-
mand for an inquiry into conditions in
the Police Department. He stood with
the Mayor in his attitude of neutrality,
not between employers and employees,
but between order and disorder in the
days of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
strike.
"Of late he has been cchoing the
Mayors demagoeic refusal to make any
attempt to work out constructive solu-
ton Of the transit problem in the public

worse with the knowledge that however
effective as vote getter' this position
may be, Il tends TO aggravate rather
than improve a situation which Is al

Like the Mayor he pretends to be-
lieve that forcing the companies into
bankruptcy will enable the city TO take
possession of and operate the lines on a
5 cent basis. Such a platform is one
of the most deceptive on which a candi-
date has ever appealed to the voters of
New York city"

Naturally one OF the most important
things In developing commercial aviation
Is to have a we'll recognized and we'll

suit of this race we will have such a

"A board recently has been appointed,
consisting Of members of the Army and

not only forecast of general weather
conditions along the route, but an ac-

aviation Is easily seen.

STEEL BRIEF CITES WAR.
Asks Antitrust Suit Decision OF
Present Condition.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.--In supple
mental brief filed to-day the United
States Steel Corporation asked the Su-
preme Court to decide the pending anti
trust case brought by the Government
under the Sherman act on the basis of
the situation in the steel industry grow
ing out of the WAL instead of upon con-
ditions twenty years ago. The cGse is
to be argued soon after the court recon-
venes on october 8.
The corporation pointed out that in
1901 it produced SOL per cent. of the
steel, while In 1911 its proportion was
only 45.7 per cent.
Pointing out that despite its failure
to have the suit decided before the
war. the corporation had proceeded to
expend enormous sums of money en-
larging it's plants which enabled II to
meet every requirement of the Gov
eminent to the end Of the war;" the

"Can anyone doubt that the cor
poration's ability to meet II was due
to the very size and strength of which

trated economic powerr And ought

The Mania for Wanting to 10
Something Else.

Everybody wants to do something
else" said Mr.. Roor In his Constitu-
ton Day address, referring to social
unrest.
Not quite everybody, Of course. but
a number great enough to disturb all
economic and some mental balances
The fever germ comes from a theory
that higher prices and higher wages
will in some mysterious way result In
prosperity without the aid Of industry
and thrift.
The workman jumps from one Job
to another. but not so fast but that
jumping prices, oaused by his own
nervous agility. catch him by the
pocket at the end of each, flight.
Each uneasy individual admits that
If wages receded toward normal llv-
ing costs would necessarily fall; but
each believes that 1t Is the other fell
low who Is getting too much pay.
Everybody knows that when a ma
ton spends twenty-five billions on q
war the bin must be paid by the ex-
ira production of material equal to
that which was consumed In the war
but the individual declines to work
fast when he can get as much pay for
working slowly.
Everybody, or at least his neighbor
Is apt to be deluded by the notion that
higher wages mean that his produc.
tive capacity has increased; II he can
not get higher wages he wants to dc
something else.
The farmer is an exception. Sc
long as the Government keeps up the
price Of food by fixing n high price
on wheat and preventing a natural
fiuctuation in the grain market the
farmer won't want to be anything
else than a farmer.
The most conspicuous example of q
man who wants to do something else
is he who, hired to work for the
United States, devotes his entire. time
to the business of other nations ant
tries to lure America away from 1t:
ancient job Of being American.

The new Protestant Episcopal Bishop
Of New York has no easy task before
him. Tho work OF the church In the
period Of rehabilitation and readjust-
ment before us will be difficult. The
unrest which assails all our mundane
institutions will attack the ecclesias-
teal edifce. The chances of error
will be many, the perils Of progress
numerous. but the opportunity for
service viii be 80 great that any man
would gladly give his whole being to
utilize 1t In the fullest extent.
Bishop BURcH possesses a useful
qualification for his Office In the in
innate acquaintance with diocesan
affairs he has gained as Suffragan
Bishop. He Is familiar with the rou-
tine Of his new post. He should not
be obliged to spend as much time in
famillarizing himself with its intrica-
cies as another might. He ought to
be able to put his house in order
promptly, and then to give his time
to the problems that must be solved
quickly II the church Is to do all it
should do in the establishment Of
sound conditions.
One thing is unthinkable. 1t is
that the Protestant Episcopal Church
or any other should stand still while
the world changes. or withdraw from
the public works Of not specifically
religious nature In which practically
all sects have Of recent years be-
come so conspicuous. Even If the de-
sire to transform a church into a con-
gregation of mystics aloof from the
world existed, 1t would be folly to at
tempt 1t and impossible to accomplish
1t without changing the church from
living force for human betterment
into mere museum Of formula. Such
an institution would be interesting,
and might benefit comparatively few
individuals, but Its power among men
would be reduced to a point at which
it would be negligible.
That the present situation offers
broad opportunity for the church is
a commonplace. If some men are
shaken in their faith, more men are
shaken in their unfaith. In both
classes countless thousands of doubt
ers look with longing hearts and re-
ceptive minds for virile leadership in
things of the spirit. They ask to be
guided to faith. They grope for a
hand which shall clasp theirs in tho
quest for that confidence in the fu-
ture all human beings covet. The
ministry of Con which can answer
their questions and satisfy their plead
ings will achieve a triumph which
will shine magnificent in the annals
Of human history.

1 among the married officers on sea
duty. On the date named the allow
ance for quarters. made to officers
with dependents while the officers are
at sea, will be stopped.
This allowance for quarters has
helped to some extent to ameliorate
conditions. An officer at sea had
something extra to apply to the ex-
penses of his family. AS our CORE
spondent says, "offieers on shore will
actually receive materially greater
compensation than officers at sea-"
The shore billets will be tempting.
This is obviously a bad thing.
The army is losing officers every
day because the pay is inadequate at
the present prices of necessities. Four
hundred have resigned in the last
