The third in a series of musical
teas given at the Woman's Club for
the benefit of "Victory Way" was
held yesterday afternoon, and proved
distinctive success. being one of
the most enjoyable occasions of the
club season. The health committee
of the club. Mrs. H. C. Dozier, chair
man, had charge of the arrange
nents and credit is due Mrs. Dozier
for most interesting and profitable
afternoons entertainment. The pro-
gram consisted of vocal numbers by
Miss Music Bullock, who never sang
more sweetly. Mrs. P. G. Murphy,
one of Ocala's new residents, who
possesses a pleasing contralto voice,
yesterday afternoon gave selections
that were greatly appreciated by the
audience. Mrs. L. G.. Ketchum gave
a great deal of pleasure by her rendi-
ton of several old ballads with harp
Accomplishments, and the duets of
Mrs. Ketchum and Mrs. Murphy. and
the one of Miss Bullock and Mrs. Muir
ply were heartily applauded. One of
the most pleasing features of the
pl Ogram was the singing and dane
ing of dainty Lucy Johnson, a little
fairy in pink, who never fails to de-
light an audience. At the conclusion
OF the program, hot tea and chicken
sandwiches were served by members
of Mrs. Dozier's committee, the re-
mainder of the afternoon being spent

Let No Man FORGET

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: All praise to your editorial
"Let No Man Forget" in to-da,'s isaue.
Where is more glaring example
than the underhand way that the Anti
Saloon League "put over' the Eish-
teenth Amendment and the Volstead
act? Both these measures are hated
and denounced Ky the great majority
OF men and are not wanted and were
so juggled and .rigged that the people
were never given chance to vote on
them. These measures are largely ac-
countable for the unrest and discon-
tent that exist to-day.
l doubt If you realize tho deem re-
sentiment and bitterness that 10 felt
against these two un-American meas
-rcs. 1t will be shown in the voting
next November.

An Overalls Scare

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Building fire in the woods Is
matter for prayerful consideration,
since it is against the law except a
registered guide be present to see that
once 1t has served it's purpose it be
properly extinguished; else thousands
OF acres, and very possibly miles, Of
valuable property would be in danger
of destruction.
The present "overall" excitement Is A
fire" in the "woods" of business and
sadly in need Of grave consideration;
else-well, if 1t is to go on we will
soon enough be nation in denim.
Query: What will become of the
thousands Of big and little tailors, of
the tens Of thousands Of retailers, lob
bers and manufacturers of woolens
and worsteds: Of the hundreds Of thou
sands Of cutters and stitchers and fit-
ters and clerks and mill workmen?
And, by the samo token, If women
are going to calico, what will become
Of the hundreds Of thousands of cut
ters and stitchers and filters and clerks
and mill workmen now employed by the
manufacturers Of silk; of the hundreds
Of thousands employed in the manufac-
ture of leather. when we 80 far abase
ourselves as to import wooden shoes.
for it would be nothing short of degra-
dation to deaden the lively step Of
Americans?
Let the business man and Wall Street
and Congress and all others who can
we'll afford woolens and worsteds be-
ware how they build their fires, else
will it be possible later to control what
may we'll become conAagration?

"Cabble''

$50 long as people are willing to
pay any price for the things they
want and are not willing to practice
self-denial," says Governor Beckett
of North Carolina, "all talk about
cutting down the high cost Of living
is gabble.". The idea that the public
can bring down the price Of an arti-
clio by refusing to buy it is not new,
of course, and it may be true only
to certain point. Few problems
are so simple that a gingle factor
points the way to a solution. Yet
there is undeniably a good deal Of
"gabble" about the high cost Of liv-
ing that does not get US anywhere.
Some Of it may be found in the pro-
nuncianentos Of Attorney General
Palmer against proflteers. In the
procedure Of the Department of
Justice imam never is but always to
be blest."
The whole blame cannot be put
upon those who sell at prices their
customers are willing to pay. The
sellers can hardly be expected to
pass self-denying ordinance. The
time is one of extravaganza, espe-
cially on the part Of those who are
earning more money than they ever
before earned or hoped to earn. The
parable Of the workingman and the
silk shirt has a, too general applica-
ton. But for one who applies Far
ragut's objurgation Of the torpedoes
to the question of expense there are
half dozen who find in present
prices bar to much that they have
hitherto considered necessary. They
cannot keep up the pace. which the
spenders have set. Discussion Of the
high cost Of living has thus become
something else than "gabble" in their
ears.
In various foreign cities mobs
have reduced the cost of living by
the expedient Of smashing the win
dows Of shopkeepers and frightening
them into moderation. That is not
the American way. Neither, unfortu-
nately, Is the strict economy which
is the alternative method. It is sur
prising how many things we can get
on without if we try. True, if they
are things we may reasonably ask
we should not be compelled by the
profiteers to get on without them.
But it is condition, not theory,
which confronts US. Since the law is
leaden-footed, we may outrun it
without the desperate recourse to
violence. Thrift, thrift, Horatio! It
is one of the virtues of the antique
world worth cultivating in times
like these.

The Pdrty Of Progress
Why Republicans Should Be Trusted
With Reconstruction

y
With Reconstruction
TO tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: It Is we'll to remember At ths-
time that after another great war the
task Of reconstruction was intrustsd to
the Republican party. and all the
pledges which the times demand might
be summed up in these words, "The
party Of progress"
AS leader, 4 Chief Executive, we do
not need a great man, but he will be a
great American when his term Of Office
expires if he has helped to complete
the destiny Of this great nation. which,
is to help others and be an example for
them to follow. To many, both hero
and abroad, this seems now the "land
Of misrule," and we need a man, Re-
publican, who knows that though our
house (government) still stands upon
the firm foundation upon which our
forefathers placed it and the original
structure Is good, it needs to be
strengthened and enlarged and put In
order.
The man who can help Us do it-not
try to do 1t all himself-will be worthy
to have said Of him, as was said Of q
Florentine patriot, "He loved the re-
public marvelously, and neither cringed
to it nor robbed it,"

The Lunadc Fringe

The red hand Of lunacy could
scarcely have singled out figure
moro deserving Of public honor and
respect and less deserving Of attack
in any fashion than Or. Markoe. A
distinguished surgeon, friend Of
the great, he had served equally the
poor and friendless, and in the
creation Of the Lying-in Hospital
had organized an institution which
has been Of incalculable service to
every class Of the community.
What this tragedy warns us Of is
that no man and no community can
ever, by kindness or high motives
or generous service, placate that ir-
rational element Of society which is
day and night menace to every one.
Efficient pitiless restraint is the one
answer that can prevent such trag-
edies, such grievous destruction of
ability, such waste of a priceless
public servant. This element is
paralleled by the hcpelessly vicious
criminal, morally deformed beyond
hope Of cure. To talk Of abolishing
our jails is as fatuous as it would
be to talk Of abolishing our insane
asylums.
A chance word in sermon seems
Co have set this insane mans blind
action loose. But it is impossible to
foresee the vagaries of such a mind.
We cannot attempt to restrict our
public utterances with ain eye to
their effect upon such completely ir-
rational minds as this mans ap-
parently was. There is a lunatic
frlnge-of the Czolgosz type-of
whom. this is not true. Such it be-
hooves every public writer or speak
er to bear in mind when he is ad
dressing himself to public issues.
But this tragedy is not Of that type.
1t is simply another example of those
blind forces Of destructiveness in the
universe against which man is still
and may ever remain helpless.

Psychic Slander
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Reverend Walter Kemper
Bocock, who. after a faithful ministry
in the Episcopal Church, entered into
life eternal, was a personal friend of
mine in his college days. Association
with him in the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity united US most closely. l
also maintained this friendship until
his death. about fifteen or more years
ago. He was splendid specimen of
Christian scholarship. with high spir-
itual ideals, despising anything low,
vulgar or uncanny. He would never
lend his talents to anything that would
destroy or reflect upon Chris sian prin-
ciple. The ministry Of Christ became
his deeply rooted conviction as the
vocation where he could best serve
God and his suffering fellow men. How
1T has been possible to get into public
print fraudulent psychic photographs
OF this sainted servant Of God l do not
know. His character is too far re-
moved from any taint of evil to have
tne slightest asperslon cast upon 1t.
| have known the Bocock family for
many years. 1t was my privilege to be
closely associated with Governor Kem-
rer's family, of Virginia, Governor
Kemper being the uncle of my friend.
have also known the sister of Mr..
Bocock, Mrs. Richard Willis. whose
distinguished husband has done splen-
did service in this state for Christian
education, as has his helpmeet. Mrs.
Willis.

Sir: Now that the Overall and Ole

why not launch "No Hats for Men"
campaign?
Why on earth men should wear hats
lin summer, I mesn-I could never
understand. In fact. they would be
much better If they never wore hats
The Romans did not wear hats; the An
habitants Of many Pacific islands and
many Indian tribes do not wear hats,
and we all know the Bluc-Coat Boys
of London, who from time immemorial
have gone without this unnecessary
hefdgear.
Hats produce badness and headache;
they are uncomfortable; they cost
money! great deal Of money.

Perhaps it Is sign of advancing age
still 1t may be the result Of critical
observation that parental respect mas
diminished in an alarming degree. Thi.
latter fist leads mo to believe that the

norance Of many of our genuine citi-
zens, as well as to tho wrong thinking

"Plantcd by Daisy Bell"

"Planted by Daisy Bell"
Sir: Would you care to know what
I wore when rode my Lowell Dia-
mond? The outfit was not original
with me, but was copied from one
worn by Julian Eltinge as leading
lady Of one Of the Bank Officers
shows. We were somewhat the same
style. you know. My bicycle boots
were of light tan Russia leather and
laced all the way to my knees. They
were made to order, but not for me,
so it happened that they were a
whole size too large, but the effect
was good. My skirt, which just met
the boots, was Of blue serge lined
with scarlet silk, so I put my feet up
on something (what was it that we
used to put our feet up on?) and
coasted whenever it was feasible.
The upper part of the costume was
an Eton jacket of scarlet broad
cloth, very, very tight, with black
velvet collar. With this I wore a
white cheviot stock and Ascot tie
pinned with U. of P. flag pin, and
a red tam-o'-shanter. My wheel had
no bell, but I don't remember that
any one ever ran into me.

The lnterminable Babel

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The literacy test should be en-
forced strictly, mo foreign language
being tolerated in any public place.
Severe penalties should be imposed for
infractions of this rule. Churches
theaters, halls expressly set apart for
speakers Of foreign tongues should be
so designated, to the end that no Amer
lean ears need be affronted bv the in
terminable babel now encountered in
streets, parks, cars, everywhere.
Three or four foreigners, perhaps in
friendly converse. appear to be con-
ducting free-for-all fight and will
block a sidewalk completely. Nor may
the native know what sinister words
are exchanged or what plots.

The Morse Alphabet
Is 1t Rightly Named for It'd
True Inventor?
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: l was surprised to find that d.
writer Of the weli-deserved tribute to
Theodore N. Vail in The Tribune Of
April II was guilty of stating, without
qualification, that Theodore Wallis
cousin, Alfred Vail. was the inventor Of
the dot-and-dash alphabet, the rightly
named Morse alphabet.
l thought had long ago put q qui.
etus on that hoary misstatement Of
fact. In an article wrote for 1.-THE
Century" Of March, 1912, and in my
biography Of my father, published by
Houghton Mifflin Company in 1914, I
went exhaustively into the subject
and proved to the satisfaction of all
but the most biased that Alfred Vail,
useful as his services were In the early
history of the telegraph, had nothing
to do with the inception or perfecting
of the dot-and-dash alphabet No
where in any Of his letters or journals
that have been quoted by his advocates
does he make any such claim for him
self, and if any had been made by him
it would have been brought forward by
his partisans, who have, unfortunately,
been most bitter. The claim was made
for him by others; never, to the best
Of my knowledge, by himself.
And now, after my book had been
published, comes conclusive evidence
from Alfred Vail himself tat Morse,
! and not he, was really the inventor OF
the Morse alphabet.
In q brochure compiled By J. Cum
mings Vail, son OF Alfred, and pub
,, lished in 1914, there appears on page
Is the following extract from letter
of Alfred Vail to S. Vail & Son. 1t is
dated Washington, Feb. Z. 1888" "The
machine did not exhibi. its working go
| successfully as at New YolN for this
reason: Professor Morse had inpented
a mew plan Of an alphabet and hos
thro,On aside the Dict.onarv.' The
italics are mine.
Surely this plain statement by VAIL
added to all the other evidence which
I have been able TO bring forward, M
absolutely conclusive. and if il couid
only be widely published would ena
forever a false claim whios has done
not little to tarnish my fathers gooo
name.
If the partsans OF Vail had allowed
this letter to see the light many years
ago much hard feeling between the TWO
families would have been preven'eo
and much acrimonious debate aver'ea.
In twelve years from now we shaA
celebrate the one hundredth annivei'
sary of the invention of the TELEGRAPH
by Samuel r. B. Morse. During s'
those hundred years there has oee'
waged continuous fight By the ~
ventor during his lifetime. and by h's
son after his fathers death. to upho''
his claim as tho inventor. 1t has sems'
times seemed as II certain false s'a's.
ments could never be overtaken' o''
truth is mighty and will prevail
