Politics and Fares

Mayor Hylan's Non-Partisan Vigi
lance Committee, which seems to be
quite vigilant over the Mayors political
wellbeing, has appointed a committee of
three to weigh the official acts of Public
Service Commissioner Lewis Nixon
with view to ascertaining whether
such official acts constitute sufficient
grounds for his removal" The Mayor
having previously threatened the Com
missioner with jail for increasing fares.
1t certainly behooves a committee func-
tlonlng as an adjunct Of City Hall at
least to seek Nixon's removal
The transit muddle presents such a
difficult problem that to complicate it
with political activity is to deal harshlv
with public that demands proper and
immediate consideration Of its vital daily
need of transportation. Unless solu-
ton is found the operation of the lines
now IN the hands Of receivers NAV be
abandoned by them. But, instead of ac-
ceptlng NlXons suggestion Of confer
ence of the officials of the city, the Pub
lie Service Commission and the compa-
MES, the Mayor sticks to politics, either
personally or through his agents. The
newest effort, the creation of the special
committee, is the result of a motion
made by Commissioner of Accounts
Hlrshfield. Hirshfield's resolution rec
commended that the chairman of the
committee be one David Hirshfield. 1t
was in Friend Hirshfield's motor car
that Hylan made his campaign tours and
carried the speeches he read Hylan
facetiously called Hirshtield his Com
missioner of Transportation" at that
time, and now it has come to pass that
| it was prophecy.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-15
Army Reorganization

Senator Chamberlan's blistering at
tack on the Baker March army reorgani-
zation bill will probably have the effect
of making that measure impossible. Mr..
Chamberlain is greatly concerned about
the enormous concentration Of power III
the hands Of the chief of the General
Staff which the War Department scheme
contemplates. He is averse to seeing
the General Staff put into complete con-
troll of the army and relieved in large
measure from responsibility to Congress.
He points out, for instance that the
department bill seeks to compel Con-
gress to accept the General Statf's est-
mates and to grant it n lump sum for
military purposes, to be expended en-
tirely at it's discretion.
These are startling checks on Con-
gressonal control of army policy. But the
bill has even graver defects. 1t provides
for an over-expanded standing army. 1t
is doubtful whether a regular force of
more than 1000 men could be main
tanned by voluntary recruitment. It GER
tainly could not be maintained unless the
pay of enlisted men should be greatly
increased. And regular army of 250,000
men seems ample for ordinary police
purposes.
BY unduly initiating the regular force
the bill also becomes an obstacle to the
establishment Of a system of universal
training. The real defence of the coun-
try. were we to engage in any war Of
consequence, would rest with the citizen
soldiers who had received a military edu-
cation in the training camps and then
gone into the reserve. The Baker
March measure minimizes the value of
universal training by providing for only
three months service. This service
should last at least six months, as Cen
eral Wood has pointed out Our military
system should be based on the efficacy
Of this camp training, rather than on
the maintenance of.an diversified regular
army.
The true function of the regular es-
tablshment, apart from peace police
duty, is to furnish school for the youth
of the country. A standing force of
100000 could probably perform this
function to much better ADVANTAGE
than a standing force of more than
500, 900.

and Haskell little. The oratorical con-
test Anderson proposes at the Academy
of Music, Brooklyn, on "a date other
than Sunday between October and 49,"
offers little advantage, except perhaps
to fill in an open date at the Academy Of
Music.
The voters Of Kings County on No
vembcr will settle the question whether
Haskell, who, as they are quite aware,
made prohibition an issue in a judiciary
contest, is to sit on the bench on Janu-
airy next. Anderson is free to appeal
to them. Anderson, who shows no fear
of legislative bodies, should scarcely fear
the electorate.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-15
Spirit Tests for Haskell!

Representative Haskell, Republican
candidate for Kings County judge favors
referendum on prohibition William II.
Anderson, state superintendent of the
Antl-Saloon League, favors debate be-
tween himself and Haskell In his chal
lenge Anderson states seven propositions.
any one of which might be the subject
OF rainy evening debate.
One proposition is that You have vio
lated the spirit of your oath as Con-
gressman.' One can imagine the relent
less Anderson filming the "spirit" of
Haskell IN all its sQuirmng horror It
would be photograph equal to the best
ever done in the days when mediums"
caught on sensitized paper the outlines
OF the departed. But Anderson is a
specialist on splrits-particularly that of
the grape.
Proposition three, still sticking to the
astral, it will be observed, is that Haskell
VIII violate the spirit of his judicial oath.
Anderson does not explain how any
prospective judicial acts can be proved as
matters of present fact. The d;sputants
would need to be prophets. A conven-
tional incident to debate is a set of
Judges to appease the popular desire for
a quick decision. This difficulty might
be obviated if Anderson would only sun-
ply the judges himself.
Another proposition is that Haskell
played the demagogue and bather
skite." For such subjects as demagogy
and blatherskiticity a whole weeks ses-
sion would be fairer to both sides. Whv
not make convention of it?
AS matter Of fact a Haskell Anderson
debate is now going on, though without
conformation. Anderson is saying much

What the Mayor Said
To the Editor Of The Tribune

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Hylan recently said that the
striking strcetcar employees were entitled
to an increase of % per cent, and he
helped them to get it.
Before they were granted that increase
they were getting much as a lieutenant
in the Police or Fire Department.
AS things are now, the patrolmen and
firemen are under compulsory expenses
which are 10 per cent more than any other
kind of labor
We are not looking to belong to any
union at present, but if conditions in these
departments not bettered, and our
leaders not given square deal, no one can
tell what will happen.

Who Is Partisan?

The President, in his speech at Spo-
kane, said he wished that Republicans
would forget 1920 in. considering the
treaty." adding, ''it is too big a thing
for partisan prejudice"
a most unworthy insinuation. one of
which some day it may be assumed, the
President will be heartily ashamed. Ex-
cept for partisanship and the open
dragoonng of its forces, it is probable
that not ten members of the Senate
would vote for an unconditional ratiti
cation of the treaty. The Democratic
press has been filed with screaming
party appeals. The attempt has been
made to read one Senator out of the
party because he dared to be indepen-
dent. From the White House, through
such non-partisan instrument as
IUmulty. have come hints of what would
happen to Democrats if they did not
line up.
The President. holding that it was
better to conduct the war through a
party machine, rejected patriotic pro-
posals looking to the creation of a coali
1loh administration Inclusiveness was
the policy Of Lincoln when he made so
conspicuous a Democrat as Edwin M
stanton his Secretary Of War, but it has
not been the policy of the present Ad
mlnlstratlon. And as the war was woued
under partisan direction, so was the
peace negotiated
1t Will not be asserted that partisan
thoughts have been altogether absent
from the minds of all opposed to the
treaty. what one side does conspicu-
ously and does first the other is likely
to do. The singular course the Prcsi-
dent has seen fit to follow has naturally
provoked reactions IN kind But surely
it does not lie with President Wilson to
be critical of the partisanship or the Bit
terness of other men.
In times past advocacy of y loao,1c
or nations has merely come from men
VINO nave happened to be Republicans.
Ot the present generation, Messrs. Root
hughes, Taft, Lodge and Knox have been
prominent as league Of peace advocates.
one recalls the labors of Burton and
Bartholdt, both Republicans. Indeed.
Ar. Bryan has been about the ONLY
widely known Democrat who has shown
much interest in the project. President
Wilson has only recently been identified
with It, The subject is not mentioned
IN his history. During the first three
years of the war the President was an
"lsolatlon' man-rcioiced that the con-
illct dld not concern us and would not
touch US. Is so late convert COM
petcnt to lecture other men on what con-
sttutes league of peace orthodoxy and
to ascrlbe unworthy motives to them for
not accepting without scrutiny his sud-
den improvisation? Motive aspersa) ie
