L.user's $500

Dublin dispatches last week an
nounced that the Irish republic is
about to call for subscriptions to n
new loan Of $40, 900 and that of
the sum Ireland is to subscribe
S500,000, with the remainder of
$40. 100000 fixed as the quota of
America.
On the day Of the publication of
this announcement John l.. Luger,
member of the Peter j. Dooling
Association, a branch Of Tammany,
testified before the Meyer commit
tee concerning his contribution to
the former Irish loan. Mr.. Luger,
according to the testimony, was
active in politics and Of use when
transfers of Washington Market
stall permits were sought. Last
spring he received $1,000 from a
concern which wished to sell it's
stalls, and where the money finally
arrived is something of a mystery.
But there is light as to $500.
Asked to say what he had done with
the money, Luger cheerfully told
the Meyer committee:
about two or three days later
was stopped at the club there and
Mr.. Dooling says to me-:
"'Say, Jack, what are you going to
do for the Irish republic? l says:
Here you are, boss. Here's $780,"
No receipt seems to have been
asked for when the payment was
made, and it appears that the total
collection reported from the district
was only $500. In view of the ex-
ceptional generosity and exception
al interest which a gentleman with a
German name felt in Irish freedom
the suspicious are whispering. They
are inquiring as to what certainty
there is that the Luger $500 ever
had sea voyage. There has been
no public accounting concerning the
sources and the disposition of the
Irish loan. Is similar secrecy to
attach to the new financing?

Washing Tuberculosi. Away

The Englishman's insistence on his
morning splash, even if he has to
carry his tub about with him, and,
the Americans determination to
have bathroom in his home regard
less of cost are justified at last. A
daily bath is considered either
luxury or waste of time by enough
people and nations to make Sir
James Crichton-Brown's statement
at conference of sanitary inspect
ors in England contribution to the
science of health. eff every one took
a daily bath, hot or cold," he said,
tuberculosis would virtually disap-
pear from the world" He says we
have long way to go to attain a
proper standard Of personal cleanli-
ness. He would legislate the great
unwashed out of existence by having
tub in every home, even if the state
had to supply it.
There is much in this suggestion,
for there are still people, even in
America and England, who do not
know the value, not to say the Joy, of
daily scrub. That the flesh is
weakened by bathing is a supersti-
tion that persists in too many homes.
Physicians could dispel such beliefs
if they would, but perhaps they fear
to insult their patients even when
they know the advice is needed.

In gathering the news The Tribune
works on the assumption that the
reader is not particularly interested
in how it is gathered. However, in
the case Of Boyden r. Sparkes, staff
correspondent for this paper in the
Mingo minc field, the reporters
achievement certainly was out Of the
ordinary. Sparkes had been assigned
to get the miners side. With a little
group of newspaper men and one
newspaper woman he started across
ridge. The party was fired upon
and Sparkcs was wounded twice.
When his wounds had been dressed
Sparkes, weakened as he was by loss
of blood, sat down and wrote de-
tailed and colorful story Of the gen.
eral situation. mentioning casually at
the end Of the dispatch that he was
wounded twice but able to cover his
assignment. And he is still "on the

Examinations and Road Safety

Nine months ago Massachusetts
began requiring strict examinations
and tests of fitness of all persons
seeking licenses to drive cars on pub
tic roads, and also to enforce the
laws more strictly. The results of
the new system in the eight months
ended on August / are striking. In
the eight months 1910 persons ap-
piled for licenses and were examined.
To 60,598 licenses were granted and
to 10,252 they were refused. Such
rejection Of more than IA per cent of
the applicants indicated two things:
that the examinations are strict
enough to be effective and that if
there had been no examinations Ia
per cent of drivers would have been
unfit to drive.
Another result of the new rule
may be mentioned. In the eight
months the number Of automobile
accidents "of minor nature" was

De Valera's Answer

Mr.. de Valera's latest communica-
ton to Premier Lloyd George recog-
nizes the futility of further ex-
change of merely "argumentative
notes." This admission gives it
more moderate and practical tone
than has been observable in the
earlier and mere abstractly conten-
tious Irish replies to Lloyd Georges
offers. 1t is something that both
sides should see that mere argumen-
tation gets nowhere.
The British Premier suggested for
Ireland status very close to that of
the British self-governing dominions
Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa. Mr.. de Valera
has demanded more, or what he
seemed to think was nore-a scheme
by which Ireland should enjoy "gov-
ernment with the consent of the gov
erned." This latter status is vague
and indefinable. The dominion status
is tangible and concrete. 1t is self
government of sort which all the
great agitators for Irish freedom in
other generations would have gladly
accepted.
The new note asserts that the Brit
ish offer would give Ireland a status
definitely inferior to that of these
free states" Here an issue is Joined
which is capable of exact discussion.
Why not discuss it? Ireland's geo.
graphical position-even if her past
political relations to Great Britain
are put aside-differentiates her
status to some extent from that of
the dominions, which are separated
by thousands Of miles Of ocean from
the mother country. If Ireland is
willing to enter this group of "free
states" and considers their position
secure so far as government with
the consent of the governed" is con-
cerned it ought to be easy to deter
mine by negotiation what weight
should be given to tho fact of geo.
graphical propinquity.
Mr.. de Valera's letter doesn't seem
to foreclose such negotiations. The
question which it leaves open is
whether he and his followers are
willing to accommodate themselves
to political realities in planning for
Ireland's future or would prefer to
sacrifice practical self-government
under dominion safeguards to the
shadow of literal political indepen-
dence.
New-York tribune., 1921-09-05
Meeting the Ju1lker Challenge

Berlin's extraordinary response to
the anti-Republican agitation which
Ludendorff's pompous war memorial
demonstration started has put heart
into the Ebert -Wirth regime. The
government has suppressed nine
monarchist newspapers and seems
ready to meet the Junker challenge.
Bavaria seems to be the center of
the royalist propaganda, and the Ma
tionalist party (the old Conservative
party renamed) naturally chose
Munich as the meeting place for its
annual conference. At this gather
ing a former Prussian Minister,
Herr Hergt, hurled this defiance at
the new order: owe regard the
German constitution merely as an
episode. We will not allow it to
keep US from the attainment of our
highest aims, namely, the restora-
tion of the monarchy and the carry
ing out Of the ideas of kaiserdom."
This Is frank expression Of the
Junker view. But all the opposition
parties are not as bold as the Ma
tionalists. Hugo Stinnes's vest
pocket party, the Peoples, though it
opposed the Wirth Ministry on the
issue of accepting the Allies repara-
tions ultimatum, now shows a dispo-
sition to jump to the other side of
the fence. Its spokesman on the
Reichstag's Vigilance Committee, DR..
Kahr, made this declaration to Chan
cellor Wirth: II and, as I believe,
my party will stand on the repub-
llcan constitution and support the
government in defense of it,"
SHINES and his fellow captains of
industry have stake in the pro-
longation Of the present regime,
whatever may be their views as to
the desirability of setting up some
time later constitutional monarchy.
If the Peoples party joins the
other moderate parties, the repub-
lican group in the Reichstag will be
opposed only by the extreme Mon
archistic Right and the extreme
Communistic Left. The Jinkers
make great stir now, as they have
always done. But they exaggerate
she fealty of the German public to
the Hohenzollerns. Nearly all Ger

Regulating Flying

The United States is the only CIV
illzed country that Is without laws to
govern the operation of aircraft for
commercial purposes. 1t is the only
country which does not rigidly in
spect the airworthiness Of the vari-
Gus machines which fly for profit or
pleasure.
The result Of our backwardness is
clearly shown when commercial op-
erations in Europe and in the United
States are compared. In this coun-
try, with the exception of perhaps
one concern, all commercial efforts in
the air are spasmodic, and in many
cases are carried on with machines
that should not be permitted to fly.
For three years vain struggles have
gone on In Washington to rush
through bills suitable to certain
groups alone, and practically all In
constitutional.
A week ago, however, Senator
Wadsworth, Of New York, intro
duced bill which, if enacted, should
end the embargo and prepare the
way for steady growth of the coun-
try's commercial aviation. BY estab-
fishing bureau of civil aeronautics
in the Department of Commerce it
takes the middle ground by which a
compromise can be arranged be-
tween those interests opposed to a
separate department Of air and those
which are in favor Of it. 1t removes
at one stroke all the military objec-
tions which retarded the other bills
and clears the way for an adequate
control Of commercial aviation, and,
moreover, its constitutionality is GER
titled to.
Under the terms of the bill the
commissioner of the new bureau of
aeronautics will be empowered to
establish and administer regulations
carrying into effect international
aeronautical agreements and treat
les. He will have authority to
license pilots and aircraft and to re-
woke such licenses. He will also be
empowered to formulate regulations
governing aerial navigation wher-
ever the jurisdiction Of the Federal
government exists. In addition the
commissioner will be authorized to
foster aeronautics by laying out air
routes across the country, by estab-
fishing landing stations, by estab-
fishing and operating meteorologi-
cal service and communicating sys-
TENS and by collecting and dissem-
mating information valuable to the
development of aeronautics.

man writer's on the war--Luden-
dortf, Hindenburg and Tirpitz among
them--have, consciously or uncon-
sciously, admitted that the German
masses entered the war with a men
tai reservation. They would go along
with the Kaiser and his autocracy
if the latter made good through VIC
tory. But If victory didn't come, or
If ever the autocracy weakened, they
would extort from it political con-
cessions which had been long denied
them. The German masses are not
for kaiserism of the old model. They
have had their taste of freedom and
don't want to return to subjection.
That is the rock on which the new

The Judicial Power
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

l o the EDITOR OF Ihe tribune.
Sir: The executive council of the
American Federation Of Labor, when
it issued the following statement
evidently had not read the United
States Constitution very recently:
Nowhere in the Constitution is there
vested in the judiciary the right to de-
clare unconstitutional law passed by
Congress and approved by the Presi-
cent, or, if vetoed by the President,
passed over his veto by a two-thirds
vote Of the House and Senate"
1t may possibly refresh their minds
to quote Article III, Section 2: 1.-THE
judicial power shall extend to all cases,
in law and equity, arising under this
Constitution, the laws of the United
States" etc. Why have q Constitution
at all or Supreme Court to decide on
the constitutionality of laws if every
act of Congress which becomes law is
a new Constitution or its very finite
wisdom is the sole test of it's merit?
The ship of state would be rudderless
and blown by every passing wind If
there were no Constitution to guide
it on it's charted course. The Constitu-
ton Of the United States is the pro-
lection of all American citizens, whether
they be employees or employers. If
you don't like the courts decision abol-
ish the court or make Mr.. Gompers
the Chief Justice and the officials of the
A. F. Of L. associate justices. Such
is the reasoning to which their state
ment, if true, would eventually lead.

For an Air Department

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Will not "Quarterdeck" soon
progress into the ranks Of those Of us
who advocate a separate department of
the xix? He now insists that without
an adequate air force navy is prac-
tically useless.
If the navy is subject to that condi-
tion, is not the army also? Therefore,
why not develop fully the possibilities
Of the air? We might then be able to
get along with very small army and
navy.
Caproni said three years ago that
aiTplanes would not come into their
own until they could be used in bat
talions, as their destructive power in
large units was infinitely greater than
In small ones.
The behavior of the navy and armv
mossbacks is probably similar to that
Of the armored knights of old in their
belittlement Of gunpowder. J. OBJ.
