The Roosevelt Com

Iwo-Cent Piece Favored by Wom-
ans Roosevelt Memorial Association
TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The members Of the Woman's
Roosevelt Memorial Association are
glad to see that The Tribune is in fa-
vor OF honoring the memory of Theo-
dore Roosevelt by having coin mint
ed which will bear the likeness of that
great American
However,, as Theodore Roosevelt be-
lieved in practical ideals" the mem
| bers Of this association feel that a
Roosevelt 2-cent coin meets these re-
quirements better than 21a-cent coin.
In November, 1919, this association
indorsed a bill authorizing the coinage
! of a Roosevelt 2-cent piece. This bill
was introduced by Senator Mclean;
it then went to the House and only
failed of passage owing to the great
pressurs OF business at the end Of the
session.
Before recommending to Congress

which indicated that entirely aside
from the idea of thus honoring the
memory of Theodore Roosevelt there

Tirst-With a 2-cent coin in circulz-
ton it is estimated that the number
of pennies will be substantially de-
creased. any housewife who does
her own marketing and shopping

majority of newspapers, including

ThirdAs long as the most popular

Lives That Can Be Saved

There are life-preserving truths
that cannot be repeated too often.
Never fail to tell person who
you think may not know that tuber-
cuiosis is preventable. Incipient
eases of the disease can be cured
almost without fail. In its ad-
vanced stages the scourge can fire.
quently be arrested.
These heartening facts are so
much medical commonplace that
most OF us now cake for granted
that tuberculosis is not only pre-
ventaole but is being prevented.
This, it is regrettable to say, is a
fasse assumption leading to a dan
gerous feeling Of security.
In the years 1910-'20 in New
York City 10000 persons on the
average were felled annually by the
white plague. The greatest num-
Der was taken in the period of mid
die life, the most fruitful to the in
dlvldual and the community. The
tragic statistics show that each year
more than $500 OF our citizens in
the prime of womanhood and man
hood are laid low by a malady that
they either did not know how to
combat or allowed to take it's
course unchecked.
There is one way TO reduce the
mortality list, namely, TO bring the
facts about tuberculosis home to
every person. To this end the New
York Tuberculosis Association, 10
East Thirty-nintl1 Street, is main
tanned and will give helpful infor-
nation to all inquirers.

The Edison QUESTIONABLE

Thomas A. Edison is severe or the
collegians who funked the question

those who applied for work in his
shop. Amazing ignorance" "don't
seem to know anything these are
his comments on young men aca-
demically trained.
But it isn't likely that these young
men will let their careers be snuffed
out by QUESTIONABLE. Mr.. Edison's
friend, Henry Ford, he i'll renlem-
Der, did not score a high percentage
on set of questions put to him a
while ago, yet Mr.. Edison would no
doubt find Mr.. Ford useful man to
employ at West Orange.

Surely not the slightest notion of
the naturalist's qualities could have
been gained through an electrical
inquisition. Sometimes one tires of
the abnormal stress that is laid on
that desirable thing called eff

world--the most efficient creature
probably is the English sparrow-a

Alaska's Forests

Wood pulp from Alaska is the
latest prescription for the relief of
the print-paper shortage, and the
President and his Cabinet are con-
sidering the removal of impedi-
ments. Relief will surely be most
welcome. especially to sorely pressed
newspapers. The forest resources of
Alaska are vast and comprise great
quantities of wood suitable for
paper making.
Bl1s we cannot help recalling other
vass forest resources CT years ago.
New England and the Appalachian
states once were richly wooded. The
stores Of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota seemed inexhaustible.
The Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Coast states were proudly declared
to have enough timber to supply the
needs of all the world, as perhaps
they had.
But now? Millions upon millions
of acres treeless and the states
which once boasted arboreal opu-
lence compelled TO look to remote
Stewards Folly or to alien Canada
for supplies. And the denudation
still proceeds at the rate Of three
million acres a year, partly through
cutting, of which the major part has
hitherto been waste, partly through
fires, causing total waste.
Now we turn to our last reserves,
in that "Arctic province" which was
once the butt Of ignorant ridicule.
Are they also to be squandered and
despoiled or so husbanded and cult
waited as to be perpetual?
The art and industry of forestry
must be learned and practiced as in
other lands. Careful cutting and
replanting make forest a perennial
source of supply. A new tree for
every old tree must be the rule. And
it has been abundantly demonstrated
that hasty lumbermen cannot be
trusted to own the land. The gov
ernment, applying conservation prin-
ciples, must retain the fee and sell
stumpage under prescribed condi-
tions. Otherwise the Alaskan for
asts will go like the others.

Hudson County All Right
Says Jersey City Republican Who
Voted for Governor Edward

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In your editorial "ParadoxicaE
New Jersey you say: "rhs Hon. Ed
ward t. Edwards promised that If
elected Governor he would make New
Jersey as wet as the Atlantic Ocean.
Thereupon he was elected by virtue Of
performances in Hudson County which
it is charitable not to describe"
Would you consider it an act of
charity not to disclose the fact that
Governor Edwards received majority
of $4,000 in Hudson County? Or would
you consider it an act oe charity not
to disclose the fact that thousands OF
Republicans, such as myself, who had
never before voted for a Democrat,
voted for Governor Edwards? We did
SO, not because Governor Edwards had
promised to make New Jersey "as wet
as the Atlantic Ocean," but because we
were thoroughly disgusted with the ac-
tions of the Republican party in the
state. We have reason TO be thankful
for doing as we did Governor Ed
wards is making the best Governor the
state has ever had.
You omit stating in your editorial
that the prohibition enforcement act
was passed over the Governors veto.
We considered this act. IS did most of
the people of the state, vicious piece
Of legislation, because it denied ths
right of trial by jury
So far as. conditions in Hudson
County are concerned, which you imply
arc rotten, let me inform you that a
probing committee, appointed by reso-
luton by the Legislature for the sole
purpose Of investigating Hudson Coun-
ty and driving Mayor Hague of Jersey
City from Office, has been working here,
and has so far developed nothing.
At the primaries held here last week
for the purpose of selecting ten can
didates TO be voted upon next week for
City COMMISSIONERS, the ticket headed
by Mayor Hague led its nearest com.

that there is nothing rotten.

The Best Disarmament Method

Disarmament in it's reasonable
sense--that is, as a means of relief
from the excessive burden Of mill
tary expenditure now weighing on
the chief powers-has conspicuous
place in President Harding's peace
program. Much recent disarmament
agitation has been disingenuous and
pernicious. 1t has come from those
who have never been cured of the
illusions of the sort of pacifism which
was prevalent in this country before
the war. The pre-war pacifists were
out to down "nailitarism" anywhere
and everywhere without regard to
consequences. Germany was hope
lessly "militaristic" and laughed at
their arguments. But that didn't
deter them from calling on other ma
tions to disarm, thus aiding Ger
many's design. TIE American school
wanted the United States to set an
example of military unpprepared-
ness, not so much for economy's sake
as for the moral effect of such ges-
ture. The gospel of the pacifsts
was: "No bully or depredator will
dare to strike an unarmed man"
The civilized powers, learning
their costly lesson, have now dis
armed the German bully and depre-
dator. The victors are still partly
armed, and some of them must re-
main armed in order to enforce the
peace. Many disarmament advo-
Gates want to repeat the pacifist
folIies of the pre-war period. They
are urging Congress to reduce
armament for the sake of reducing
it, without regard to what other
powers do. Such isolated action is
imprudent and illogical. The way
to disarmament is through concert
through a common attempt to lessen
the burden OF national expenditure
caused by unnecessary rivalries in
naval construction and army ex-
pansion.

The Police

Yesterday the police once more
marched by. A clear sky added the
glory OF Natures halo to the most
impressive of the city's annual spec
tacles-the one that is closest to the
clty's heart. No wonder eyes were
dilnned with joyful tears as the
piatoons swept forward. All were
not there. "Killed in line of duty"
was the fate of eight policemen
whose families We're decorated.
Fearless and unflinching, these men
had sacrificed themselves. And as
they died their comrades are pre-
pared to die. In places of danger.
III times of trouble, the cheerful,
sturdy policeman is there to take re-
sponsibiEity and defend the public.
They are the soldiers of the city. al
ways on duty, sleepless foes of the
enemies of society.
All honor to the New York police
men! Corruption may be in high
places, but the members of the force
avoid its touch. When defilement
creeps in here and there it does not
spread-it is expelled by morale
whose cleansing spirit forever flows
up from the lower levels of the serv-
ice. Such tradition as the New
York police force has developed is
one OF the city's great possessions

whose value transcends computation.

the fact that. under it the efficiency Of
workers will deterioratc and the only

The New Dictionary

No Mendeian law has been discov-
cred for word evolution. Words have
their genetic phenomena, l1eredity
and environment playing part, but
the etymologist in action is more Of
a sleuth than research scientist.
More than 1900 word specialists
Of the detective species have taken
part III the production of an English
dictionary, soon to come in complete
form from it's publishers, and these
literary sleuths have been at work
all over the world for more than
sixty years, It will be by far the
most massive dictionary ever COM
piled, running into many volumes. It's
thoroughness may be Judged from
the attention given TO the monosyl-
Liable word "get," whose meanings,
ancestry, idiomatic uses and general
conduct through the ages fill twenty
one columns, each ten inches long.
This "New English" or Oxford"
Dictionary was projected before the
American Civil War and has been
under way ever since. 1t was spon-
sored in an address by Archbishop
Trench of Dublin before the British
Pathological Society, which at once
voted a resolution to begin the ex-
haustive undertaking with "illustra-
tive quotations from all the great
English writers Of all the ages, from
all writer's on special subjects whose
works might illustrate the history
of words employed in special senses,
from all writer's before the sixteenth
century, and from as many as pos
sible of the more important writers
Of later times
The first editor was Herbert Cole
ridge. q great-nephew of the poet,
whose death resulted in the work
being carried on for short time by

who in turn was succeeded by a
schoolmaster, DR.. Murray, who in
1885 had special corrugated iron
building especially erected for him.
self and staff in Oxford, one feature
being a wall rack with rsore than
thousand pigeonholes. Dr.. Henry
Bradley was named an assistant edi-
tor thirty-one years ago, and he sur
vived to be editor in chief. Several
volumes have already appeared. The
full size will not be known for some
time. When the word "infer" was
reached sixteen years ago the die
tionary at chat time contained twelve
million words and enough columns,
placed end on end, to overlook the
Eiffel Tower fourteen times.
The actual detective work in the
enterprise was done by great
army. Hundreds in America assist
ed. Special report slips were sent
each helper for his study of the orr
gins and quaint habits of words.
