A Great Hospitals Birthday.

When JAMES II. ROOSEVELT was a
boy, more than hundred years ago,
he had cold for which neighbor,
afflicted with the ancient distorted
notions of medicine, prescribed a
draught Of milk in which shot had
been boiled. The consequent lead
poisoning affected ROOSEVELT all his
life and prevented him from practis.
ing law, which he studied. He so
carefully invested his small inherited
fortune that when he died in 1863 he
was able to leave about million dol
lars to found a hospital--designed to
save others from misfortunes such
as made his own life so painful
which bears his family name and
which is fifty years old to-day.
Since November 2, 1871, Roosevelt
Hospital has given more than half
OF its service free. In Its wards and
rooms, 1t has treated a quarter
Of million patients-from THEo.
DoRE ROOSEVELT down to homeless
wretches. In its dispensary it has
handled more than a million cases
with an average payment of 26 cents
O case. It's out-patient department
has gone on more than two million
errands Of mercy. And it has deserv-
edly prospered, for the million which
JAMES II. ROOSEVELT left has been
turned into three millions through
appreciation and gifts.
1t must give a feeling Of pride to
DR.. STEPHEN SMITH, who outlined the
plan on which Roosevelt Hospital
was built after he had inspected the
best hospitals of America and Eu-
rope, to see how successful Is the in
stitution he mapped out. Perhaps he
regards it as very young hospital,
for it is only fifty and he is nearly
twice as old Other great New York
physicians have their names closely
linked with the history Of the hos
pital: FRANCIS DELAFIELD, attending
or consulting physician for forty
four years; CHARLES McBURNEY, at
tending surgeon from 1888 to 1900;
GEORGE FUTILE, the gynecologist,
twenty-four years in the service;
HENRY B. SANDS, ROBERT p. WEIR,
WILLIAM T. BULL, JOSEPH A. BLAKE,
ABRAHAM jacob, J. WEST ROOSEVELT,
WILLARD PARRER-the staff record is
roll OF great doctors.
All through its existence the hos
pital has preserved the Roosevelt as
sociation. There has never been a
year when a member of the family
was not on the board of trustees or
among the officers. JAMES I. RoosE-
WELT, a cousin Of the founder, was
the first president, and WILLIAM EN-
len ROOSEVELT is the president now.
The family interest in the hospital
has been one of the most valuable OF
it's resources. What with that and
its good fortune in having the SER
vices OF great doctors and superinten-
dents, Roosevelt Hospital has won a
national reputation which the COM
ing years will increase.

Making a Military Caste.
Effect of Giving Civil Service Pref
erence to Veterans.

To THE NEW York HERALD: 1t Is to
be observed that the proposed consti-
tutional amendment, innovating upon the
civil service provision Of the State Con-
stitution. is not limited to the veterans
of the world war. nor OF past wars; 1t
is not mere temporary provision 10 ex-
press our gratitude for services rendered
the national Government in the past put
a deliberate change Of the declared pol
icy Of the State.
1t declares that the policy of competi-
tive examinations shall be continued.
provided, however. that honorabiy dis
charged soldiers, sailors and marines
who shall have served as such In the
arn,y, navy or marine corps OF the
United States In time OF war" shall pc
entitled to preference. Under the Con-
Stitution as it is now the preference Is
limited to SOLDIERS and sailors from the
army and navy of the United States in
the late civil war;" thus conhn1ng the
provision to the lives Of the men who
served in the army and navy at par
ticular time and which practically lin
tied it's operation to fifty years put
under the provision sought to be en-
GRATED there Is preference for all time
for all the men who Shall have served
in time of war;" past, present
and future.
In the presence of an agitation for the
Termination Of wars the State OF New
York is asked to change its policy OF
equal. opportunities to all and to hold
out inducement to young men that SER
vice in the wars OF the United States is
to entitle them for all time to the prac-
tically exclusive control of the civil
offices within the appointing power OF
the State. If the State has not suffi-
cient offices for all OF them on the pre-
|ferrcd lists, then It will be made to
appear that 1t Is the duty Of the State
to provide more offices, and thus In time
we shall have a military caste adminis-
tering the affairs Of the State.
This privilege is not limited to the
State offices; It includes every county.
city, town and village and is without
limit of time. Every war is to bring in
its veterans to the civil offices Of the
State: the public service Is to be devoted
to the furthering Of the war spirit by
the promotion of its warriors, without
regard to their standing on civil service
lists.
This is well adapted TO promote war |;
it is hardly calculated to discourage It.
When the way to civil Office lies through
military service, ambitious men will
tread the paths Of martial glory and
mothers, actual and potential. will be
contributing to war.
Opposition to be effective must be
manifested at the polls; a constitutional
amendment only requires n majority
vote Of those who avote upon the par
ticular amendment Refraining from
voting is negatively to sanction the
measure; all voters are called upon to
act In this case. BENJAMIN s. DEAN.

The Cornptrollership.

- Next to the Mayor, the Comptroller
is the most important officer Of the
city of New York. His salary
$4,000 a year--and his term-four
2 years-are the same as the Mayors.
The Comptroller, as the head of the
: Department OF Finance, keeps check
:, on the hundreds of millions of dollars
!, which New York spends every year.
! All the city accounts, in whatever
department. are subject to his in
z spection and revision.
Z But the Comptroller is even more
him member of the Board of Esti-
, mate. where his voting power is as
great as the Mayors. There, and In
I. the Sinking Fund Commission, the
Z Comptroller can be a force for good
y or evil.
<. The coalition candidate for Comp
: troller is CHARLES G.. LOCKWOOD.
I whose name has been made familiar
z to every family in New York through
srthe work which the Lockwood Com
4 mittee on Housing, of which he was
{. chairman, accomplished in city and
State few months ago.
Mr.. LOCKWOOD, who has repre-
b sented the Fifth Brooklyn district in
n the State Senate since 1915, was re-
Gently described by the Citizens
4 Union as ''the most useful city mem
Der" of the upper house at Albany.
In the last session of the Senate Mr..
LOCKWOOD was chairman of the Com
mittee on Public Education and of
the Committee on Rent and Housing
Laws. The present rent laws are the
product of his work.
~. 1t was because of Senator LOCK
wooD's wisdom in choosing SAM
UNTERMYER as counsel for the Hous.
ing Committee that New York was
treated to the great cleanup in the
contracting business and the building
; trades. Standing behind UNTERMY-
FRS relentless purpose, LOCKWOOD
made it possible to show up the graft
and the gouging. The public learned
about BRrNDELL and about Mayor Hy-
/, rAx's letter writer, HErrRfcK, and
saw them go to prison as result of
{ the Lockwood committees exposure.
I. Mr.. UNTERMYER, a Democrat who
is supporting Senator LocKwooD's S
"A candidacy for Comptroller, recently
4 paid tribute to the manner in which
If Mr.. LOCKWOOD supported him in the
housing investigation:
again and again he literally took
his political life in his hands in up
holding me in exposing, without fear
or favor. wrongdoings alike of labor
rr leaders. high finance, officials Of life
and fire insurance companies and
great captains OF industry. He was
reckless alike of his private interests
and his political future In the per-
formance Of his duty"
The kind of man who, with Mr..
UNTERMYER, was chiefly responsible
( for uncovering the limestone court
Z house grafters and other swlndlers

! kind OF man who ought to be on

The Cost of Hylanism.

Municipal disagreement under
Hylanism makes bigger and bigger
load for the people of this city to
carry. The budgets Of the four years
Of GAYNoRs administration footed
up $749, 900 900. MITCH were SS33,
600 900. HYLAN's exceed $1,217,G00,
600. His latest Of $3.50, 100000 for
1922 is at the rate Of s1,400. .000, 900
for the four year term.
In its last year the Mitchell Board
of Estimate made budget of $685.
100000. This was only S3S,735,000
more than the last Gaynor budget
four years before. HYLAN's fourth
budget at s35O,5Oo,00O is s112,352,o00
more than MITcHEL's fourth budget.
HYLAN, it is true, had to make sal
ary increases in the Police and Fire
departments and elsewhere. But this
does not begin to account for the
stupendously increased spendings
Furthermore, the higher pay and the
bigger spendings have not produced
better results for the public. They
have produced poorer results.
The people of New York city pay
the cost of Hylan misgovernment.
They pay It in the tax bills and In
the rent bills which cover the taxes
They pay it in more than the tax
bills and the rent bills, forced up by
the swelling budgets.
They pay 1t, and they pay it i'm
measurably, in the schools which are
not built and the education which
cannot be given to their children
when there are no school houses to
take them in.
They pay it, and they pay it shame
fully, in the shipping trade which is
driven away from this port by the
dock graft and profiteering for pri-
vate pockets. ~
/ They pay it, and they pay it vastly,
in the business and the work which
are lost to our merchants and wage
earners.
They pay 1t, and they pay it ter.
ribly, in the multiplying crimes which
are committed under demoralized
and collapsing police leadership.
Going from bad to worse has been
the record Of this misgovernment
almost from the very start Of the
Hylan administration. If the people
of New York city want it to go on to
still worse, then all they have to do
is to swallow the Tammany ticket
whole next Tuesday. When they do
that, Hylanism will have the right
to think there is no limit within
which 1t must stay.
But If the people of New York city
have had enough Of Hylanism and
what Hylanism costs them, they must
do more than elect CURRAN. CURaAN
shows that he knows what this
city requires in the way Of straight
and sound business management
CURRAN shows that he knows how to
go about getting 1t. But CURRAN can
not do it alone. He should have with
him a competent. and cooperating
Board Of Estimate. He should have
a competent and cooperating Board
Of Aldermen.
The New York voter who has had
all he can stand of Hylanism and is
going to vote for CURRAN needs to
give his ballot also to LocKwooD for
Comptroller, to GILRoY for President
OF the Board of Aldermen, and to the
coalition candidate for Borough Pres
ident in the voters home borough
whichever It happens to be.
Vote the solid coalition ticket from
top to bottom.
