TWO WORDS DELIMITED.
The Secessaries OF Life Distinguished
Prom Mans Necessities.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: In
current writings I notice that the word
necessity" is invariably used where, It
seems to me, the word necessary"
ought rather 10 be employed. Thus, an
iute resting letter in THE Sun contains
the following sentence: That which
yesterday was classified as a luxury is
to-day considered a necessity" Nee
essaries" would, I think, have expressed
the writer's meaning more accurately.
When David prayed, Deliver me
fItm my necessities" he supplicated
deliverance not from such things as
food, clothing and shelter but from
those demands of his bodily nature that
were continually drawing his spirit
away from meditation upon higher
things Food clothing and shelter are
important necessaries The demands
OF our nature TO be supplied with these
necessaries are necessities. "Necessi-
ties" is subjective "necessaries'' objec-
tive.
Such at least is my understanding
Of the distinction that ought 10 be Oh
St rved in the use OF these words.
RICHARD w. RYAN.
FAR RocKAwAY, August 81
The sun., 1919-08-22

Is il necessary that the country
shall wait for the Congress to provide
a law asked for by the President and
the Attorney General under which
food boarding and prohteering can
be stoppedl
President WILSON in his address to
the Congress August said:
May I not also call attention TO
the fact that although the present
act 1.-THE food control Aetl prohibits
prontsering. the prohibition is ae-
companisd BY no penaity7 I, is
clearly in the public interest that a
penalty should be provided which
will be persuasive"
Commenting upon that address At
torney- General PALMER was quoted as
saying that he wanted a law With
''teeth In 1t" that provided with such
law he would secure results in
sixty days"
Let US see The act referred to by
Mr. WILSON as being accompanied
by no penalty" provides in Section D
for the license of manufacturers and
storage houses, and provides a maxi
mum penalty of 5000 fine or two
years Imprisonment, or both. for any
one who refuses to discontinue any
unjust, unreasonable, discriminatory
and unfair storage charge, commits
sion, profit or practice in accordance
with the license regulations.
That seems to provide teeth" and
then there are these incisors and
grinders provided in Section 6: A
maximum penalty of 5000 or two
years Imprisonment, or both, for any
person who wilfully boards any neces-
sary, and a definition of the term
! boarding"
There are also penalties provided
for various acts described in Sections
s, o. l3, l5, II, 25 and 26.
II Is probable that before he ex-
pressed his opinion that the present
act Is accompanied by no penalty
Mr.. WILSON sought. and properly so,
the legal advice of his AttOrneyGen-
eral. 1t must have been in view OF
that advice that Senator REED, who
recently called attention to the facts
above referred TO, said: II am not
going into the Attorney-General's
opinion. I say that any man who
cannot take that statute as 1t IS to-
day and punish under 1t or under the
general statutes OF the United States
any act of monopoly or any act OF
boarding to control prices needs to
go into law Office and read law, and
he ought TO begin at the beginning"

men who By extraordinary valor or
extraordinary devotion to duty have
won such rewards OF high distinction.
This was one of many interesting
ceremonies that have occurred Mt City
Hall since April 9. 1917. We hope
some palnstnkIng and accurate his
torlan has been present at all Of them.
and that their story will be suitably
written and published at the proper
time. Another field for the historian
Is Fifth avenue in the war. Future
generations should not be reduced to
the tollsome task OF searching news
paper files for the details Of the splen-
did demonstrations this magnificent
street has fra med.
Perhaps the New York Historical
Society possesses the facilities for the
compilation OF such works as we have
suggested.

when the Bandits are Taught.

What Is 10 be done with the two
Mexican bandits captured in Mexico
by the punitive expedition now pur-
suing the outlaws who held the avia-
tors Lieutenant DAVIS and Lieutenant
PErEksos for ransom, and with others
of the gang who may be caught?
Their offence was committed in
Mexico sgninst two members Of the
United States Army. Are they TO be
held bS the United States Army and
punished by It? Are they to be
brought forcibly TO this country and
prosecuted in the civil courts OF Texas
or Of the United States? Are they to
be shot out of hand by the punitive
expedition? Are they TO be turned
over to CARRASZA's mock government
to be dealt with by Its processes?
One Of the great difficulties with a
policy OF watchful whiting peppered
and salted with punitive expeditions
by the army and navy is that when
an outlaw Is caught 1t is difficult 70
tell what to do with him.

according to this philosophic disser-
tation, were primed to applaud be-
cause the Marines Of the Second Di-
vision had paraded In Washington
that day, and some of them were in
the gallery with their feminine kins-
folk. The audience was sin the con-
ditlon OF tempered steel supersensi-
tized by some outside force or infiu-
ence," and had Senator LODGE writ
ten into his magnificent tonal climax
a complete reversal of his attitude
and opinions, were 1t done with all
his fineness, his galleries would still
have risen to cheer and call"
II seems to US the EreHinO Post
has put itself to a great deal OF un-
necessary trouble to account for a
wholly natural outburst Of enthusi-
asm over Senator LoDGE's speech.
The facts Of the case are simple. An
audience composed OF patriotic Ameri-
cans occupied the gallery. An Ameri-
can Senator OF acknowledged wisdom,
learning and disinterested devotion to
America delivered n memorable ad-
dress against an un-American pro-
posal. which generally he tore to
shreds and exposed in its specific pro-
visions as dangerous to the welfare of
the nation. The Americans in the
gallery recorded their approval Of the
champion Of America on the door in
the natural and customary American
way. Do these facts constitute such
"a mysterious passage in national his
tory as to require lengthy exftana-
tions and labored explorations OF pop
ular psychology, In our opinion they
cmphatically do not.
The EreniH0 Post says that since
the defeat Of CERvERA's fleet was an
nounced in the Senate on July 1,
1893, no such demonstration has oc-
Cured as that which Senator LoDGE's $
speech cnHed forth. Presidents or
heroes had failed to bring about a
like demonstration" President Will
SON presenting the peace treaty was
greeted with prolonged applause, "
but It was nothing like the outburst
for Senator LODGE We accept this
record as accurate. and 1t Is a hope
full and encouraging sign of robust
and determined Americanism, which
rejoices in national victories and in
the high determine ton Of an Ameri-
can Senator to resist with all his
power the frittering away Of his coun-
try's resources and the compromising
OF his country's safety in the vain
projects OF Wilsonian idealism.

The Applause for Senator Lodges
Great speech.

Our nelghbor the ErcHiH0 Post has
been greatly disturbed over the APP
plause with which the auditors in the
gallery and his colleagues on the floor
received Senator HENRY c. LODGES
address of August 13 on the proposed
treaty Of peace with Germany and the
covenant of the League Of Nations in
terwoven therein by the adroit mind
of WOODROW WILSON. On the day fol-
lowing the delivery of this address
the Post, having, We take II, examined
the matter as closely as the material
at its disposal permitted, gave promi-
nence to the theory that "the gallery
knoweth It's own" and when it Is
directly appealed 10 II responds,
whether in the theatre or In the Sen
ate" The cheers evoked by Senator
LoDGE's declaration that he could not
be other than an American the Post
then compared TO the cheers which
greet the hero of the melOdrama when
he "declalms against the man who
would raise his hand against a woman
save in the way Of kindness" The
Post concluded, that said, all is said
about it 1.-THE unprecedented reception
accorded to Senator LoDGEs wordsl
that need be-"
But further reflection apparently
convinced the Post that all that need
be said about the demonstration
aroused by Senator LODGE had not
been said, for on Friday evening ii
gave up two columns Of its valuable
space to an analytic discussion Of the
incident designed to show that the oc-
cupants Of the gallery npplauded for
the sake Of appIauding. The auditors,
