course serenely, disintegrating poo
pies and perplexing politicians. Lit
tie did the world realize, when first
Mr.. Wilson pronounced the princi-
pie, how heavily 1t was loaded with
dynamite. Discarded in practice
while drawing up the treaties of
peace, it yet is cherished by the
downtrodden nationalities and in
voked for many a cause just and
unjust, making trouble and unrest
on all occasions.
The Tyrolean vote was taken in
the name of self-determination. Yet
the terms of the Treaty of St. Ger
main provide that Austria shall not
unite with Germany. 1t follows,
therefore, that even though the vote
in the case of the Tyrol has been
overwhelming the treaty nullifes it's
effectiveness. Further discomfort
throughout Austria is sure to fol-
low. And all this is in the name of
selI-determination. How right was
Mr.. Lansing when he wrote what
calamity that the phrase was over
uttered! What misery it will
cause.

In February, 1918, Will II. Hays
was elected chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee to sue
coed William r. Wilcox. Before the
committee met at St. Louis John L.
Adams, of Iowa, appeared to have
the support of majority of its men,
bers. 1t was disclosed, however, that
early in the war-before the United
States entered it, of course-Mr.
Adams had written letters show
ing a decided frendliness to Ger
many. This disclosure put him out
of the running for the craftsmanship.
Mr.. Hays expects to resign early
in June and Mr.. Adams aspires to
succeed him. But nothing has hap
pened to make it desirable to have
Republican chairman who was
guilty of the egregious blunder of
sympathizing with Germany when
the Teuton assault on civilization
was on. Germany is still Germany
and still unrepentant. Her crimes
have not been forgotten or forgiven.
America is not yet willing to con-
done them. Mr.. Adams is therefore
no more eligible to-day for the Re-
publican Craftsmanship than he was
three years ago.

The Tyrol Plebiscite

The Austrian Tyrol plebiscite
shows an overwhelmingly favorable
vote in favor of union with GermSny
Unlike the recent plebiscite in
Silesia or in Klagenfurt, the vote in
the Tyrol was unofficial. Neither
the Allies nor the government in
Vienna had demanded it, although
unquestionably the German Union
party in Austria hailed it with sat-
isfaction and probably rendered all
help and encouragement.
The vote clearly expresses the
sentiment of the people. But here,
as in Klagenfurt, the determining
reasons are mainly economic. Com
munications with Vienna are bad.
Business flows more naturally to-
ward Germany. Furthermore, the
Vienna government is weak and
financially insolvent. Its policies
are disliked and it's influence is
scant. The Socialists have been
popular in the capital but hated in
the provinces. The Tyrol itself was
dismembered by the peace treaty.
1t is only fragment that has made
this choice, and this choice was based
solely on the interests of the people
concerned.
Self-determinatiqS continues It's

Manhattan Elevated Signs

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l notice that the advertising
signs on the stations of the elevated
roads in Manhattan are gradually be.
ing extended beyond the part of the
station which is rooted over.
If this is continued it is only mat
ter of time when we shall have rene
tition Of the condition OF some wears
ago, when the name of the station itself
was completely surrounded on the out
lying parts Of the platform by adver-
Using signs.
1t my memory serves me the clearing
away of these confusing signs by the
railroad was by the direct order Of the
city government, based upon an ordi-
nance passed at the time, which re-
stricted the advertising signs to the
part of the structure covered by the
roof
One need only to take a journey
along the elevated lines in Brooklyn,
where no such restriction exists, to
realize the confusing effect upon the
passengers who try to find out from
the windows Of the moving cars what
station they are approaching or leaving.
Is thera any reason, if the ordinance
is ST in effect, why it should now be
disregarded? II. H. s. ?.

New York Takes The Lead

Governor Miller deserves high
praise for his support of the bill con-
verting the reformatory at Napanoch
into a state institution for mental
detectives This admirable legisla-
ton was finally passed by the Legis-
lature largely through the Gov
ernor's urging and despite the jam
OF more conspicuous legislative mat
ters crowded into the last DAYS of
the session.
Here is a legislative creation.
small in extent but of prime i'm
portance to the peace and safety of
the community. In advocating a
measure of this description The
Tribune recently cited the evidence
showing how dangerous to the COM
munity were the mental detectives
among our criminals. More than one
IN ten of our prison population is
mentally defective. For their own
good and the good of prison dis
cipline these men deserve different
treatment. Moreover, they should
not be turned loose at the end of
their jail sentences, almost inevitably
to relapse and to prey upon the COM
munity. They should be treated for
what they are. cared for accord
ingly and turned loose in the care
of their relatives or friends only
when this freedom constitutes no
menace to the community.
The new law places fine institu-
ton of about five hundred beds under
the management Of the Commission
for Mental Detectives and provides
suitable steps by which mental de-
fectives from all the prisons of the
state may be transferred to this new
type of control. Thereby New York
becomes the first state to provide an
institution for the more or less per-
manent detention of relapsing Grim
inals who are defective.
The measure is one to be proud
Of for its humane endeavor as we'll
as for its scientific accuracy of
method, 1t is good to know that the
