Inconsiderate Churchgoers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Arriving late anywhere, every
where, is a fault common to US all; it
is chronic condition of churchgoers
and possibly incurable. But want to
ask the readers of The Tribune why
it is, after once getting into church,
you can't stay there Chat is, some of
you). beg of you to consider the
matter seriously.
l suppose you feel the Ave minutes
you "save" by rustling out Of church
Immediately at the close of the address
is absolutely necessary. However,
wish you would decide whether getting
home to dinner q few minutes sooner
or boarding an earlier subway train
or getting to that cigar little more
quickly counterbalances the impolite-
ness and lack Of respect to the church
and to the members of the church and
the general confusion and disturbance to
the rest of us who really wish to stay
quietly until the end of the service,

Back to the Woods

Back to the Woods" seems the
motto in the Old Bay State. Back
TO the land" has failed. Indeed, the
whole nation has now for the first
time become preponderantly urban,
with ola of the people living in
cities and their number increasing
seven and half times as fast as
that of rural jewellers. In Massa-
chusetts in ten years the number
and acreage of farms have declined
about 1873 per cent, and any consid-
cradle revival of agriculture seems
to be beyond present hope.
Instead Of farms, forests are be-
ing created. This spring 100000
pine and spruce seedlings have been
set out, four-ffths of them by the
state. Taus 5000 acres have been
reforestedr~-a small beginning, but
a beginning. The state has appro-
priated 100000 for a fifteen-year
campaign, and will reforest aban-
doned and unprofitab1efa farm lands at
the rate of 10000 acres a year.
There are about 100000 acres of
such land in the state suitable for
forests. 1t is the purpose of the
state to acquire and plant it all, and
to secure as much of the existing
forest land as possible.
When this is effected the state
will have ftlly 100000 acres of
forests, with a yearly yield of lum-
Der of 1850, 100000 board feet.
The present consumption of the
state is about 100000 feet; so
there viii be a surplus for export.
At present prices of lumber the
profit from each acre of forest,
cutting an average of only 800 feet
yearly, will be little less than many
farmers have been making from
field crops. The example Massa-
chusetts sets might we'll be followed
by the other states.

New Jersey Prohibition
Sentiment Reflected by Drastic En-


forcement Law-No Jury Trial
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Paradoxical
New Jersey" has stirred up some dis
custom; will you kindly permit me to
add word to that discussion by re-
plying to the letter Of r. H. Forstmann +?
Mr.. Forstmann states that New Jer-
sey is thoroughly nti-prohibition, as
its refusal to ratify the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton indicates" In arriving at this
conclusion he does not keep very close
to the facts. The vote Of the New Jer-
sey House of Assembly for ratification
of the Eighteenth Amendment was 81
to d, and the vote in the Senate was 10
to 8--three Democratic Senators refus-
ing to vote. Owing to a Senate rule
that resolutions that are reported to
the Senate by cor1mittee must Sc
cure a majority of the whole member
ship of the Senate the resolution was
declared lost, as eleven votes were
necessary.
The real sentiment of the state on the
liquor question was reflected in the
vote for the very drastic law enforce
ment code, without question the most
effectively bone-dry law of any state
in the Union. This vote was AZ to II
in the House and II to in the Senate.
Permit me another word in reply to
the letter of Harry LEM, of Jersey
City, who characterizes New Jerseys
prohibition enforcement law as "a vi
cious piece of legislation because it
denies the right of trial by jury" 1t
would be just as logical to so charac-
terize the disorderly house act and
several amendments thereto which, for
numerous violations of the law, pro-
vides for summary trial and punish
ment without a jury. This is the case
also with our state fish and game law;
the law for punishment of persons who,
while intoxicated, drive automobiles;
the law against Migrants and tramps,
etc.
Governor Edwards recently signed
five bills providing for trial without
jury of offenders against the laws for
the regulation of dentistry, optometry,
tenement houses, fish and game provi-
sions and fire wardens. Some of these
laws provide for longer period of
imprisonment than does the prohibition
enforcement code. New jerseys Court
Of Errors and Appeals has sustained
the right of the Legislature to provide
for the summary trial and punishment
without jury of disorderly persons,
and to classify as crimes or disorderly
acts, at its own discretion, all offenses
except where listed as crimes at the
common law, New Jersey being COM
mon law state. SAMUEL WILSON.

Help the Salvation ARMY

The Salvation Army's drive for
funds has been hampered by bust
ness depression and the public's
WEAKNESS of charitable promotions.
But the army's admirable work sets
it apart among relief organizations
1t is operated at a minimum of over
head cost and covers a field which il
has made it's own.
The public has learned to appreci.
ate its service to classes outside the
reach of other agencies. It's record
IN the war was exceptional. It's &C.
tivities ought not to be curtailed
The appeal it makes now should
bring ready response from al
those who believe in encouraging
practical humanitarianism.

100000 Not Enough

According to the testimony of Sec
rotary Weeks before the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee, reducing the
army to 10000 men will democrat
ize it. The Secretary points out that
in certain branches the personnel
cannot be cut down because of the
property and equipment to be cared
for. The main cuts, therefore, will
have to be made in the infantry,
artille1v and cavalry. This means
that Ne infantry companies will
have only forty men, when during
the war these had $50. Allowing for
the company staff, kitchen police and
one man on sick report daily, each
company will be reduced to about
thirty men, or less than four squads,
for training purposes.
In an army as in any other organ
ization there is certain amount of
overhead expense that is more or
less constant. The same company
staff that looks after forty men can
look after eighty. Furthermore, the
same training can be given to eighty
men as to forty with practically no
additional effort.
The factor Of individual democrat
ization also enters into the problem.
A company of three squads has a
feeling that it is unfairly treated.
Its drills are handicapped, and it's
fatigue duties more frequently break
into the weeks routine. Little pro-
gressive training can be accom-
plished and much time Is fruitlessly
lost. All this chills the interest Of
officers and men.
The additional cost of the $4,000
men needed to keep the army at a
minimum efficient strength is small
compared to the damage done to or
ganization and morale by over-rigid
economy. At the last session the
Senate voted funds to support 49,
900 men. IL it does so again the
House will probably assent to a
larger figure than 10000 in confer
ence.

The Bureaucratic Mind

The Weekly Review, a publica-
ton of such serious purpose that
Il IS not easy TO imagine it as a
lottery promoter, recently pub
lished an announcement relating to
an economic prize essay contest.
The information was conveyed that
the committee to make the award
TINS year would consist of Profess
sor j. Laurence Laughlin, chair
man; Professor John Bates Clark.
OF Columbia University; Professor
Henry G. Adams, of the University
of Michigan; former Senator Theo-
dore e. Burton, of Ohio, and Mr..
Edwin +. Gay, of The Evening Post.
In stating contest conditions it was
said, among other things, that "no
prize will be awarded if in the
Judgment of the committee essays
of sufficient merit are not sub
naitted," and that "the committee
reserves the privilege of dividing
the prizes if justice can be best
obtained thereby"

After all, there is such thing

itself in danger by mentioning the

Balloon Canoes

The rivers near Moose Factory
are seeing the epilogue Of the balloon
fight that diverted the American
public last year. Canoes of balloon
silk cas- light and swift as swallows
on the wing" according to the re-
port, have been made by tribe of
outlaw Indians who have expressed
an equal disregard for the Hudson
Bay Company and Uncle Sam.
Although the fur company had
issued orders to the tribes within it's
sway not to disturb the remains of
the balloon, tribe wandering down
from the frozen north came upon it
and put it to practical use. When
cautioned that the balloon belonged
to Uncle Sam, the chief expressed
desire to meet that gentleman and
buy the whole balloon spot cash. In.
the mean time, however, his tribe
waited not upon ceremony. nor both
cred with Union hours. Canoes were
needed, and the Great Spirit had
provided new source of material.
Being practical men, they set to
work and soon were able to glide
away on new and light craft.
AS they turn northward again and
seek their old homes they will travel
in the property of the United States
Navy. Little did the balloon makers
realize that the great gas bag which
they had so carefully constructed
would end its service to mankind by
being used to make canoes, by the
Indians of Hudson Bay.
Such is the close Of strange adj
venture.

Russia's Disease

Eight million typhus cases are re-
ported in Russia, with a mortality
of from 40 to so per cent. Heavy
IS the price paid by suffering hu.
mainly when it sins against the
laws of civilized society.
Comparison naturally arises be-
tween this awful scourge and two
former ebidemics which swept the
lands OF Europe. The Black Death,
identified with the bubonic plague of
our own day, came from the western
coast of China and moved irresisti-
bly, around the world to the east
coast of Ireland, leaving no country
between untouched. In Asia ST.
100000 persons died of it, and in
England half of the population.
In the next century came the mys-
ferrous sweating sickness, the nature
of which has never been ascertained
1t followed hard after the Wars of
the Roses, making it's appearance
Immediately after Bosworth Field.
1t was confined to England. Many
thousands were stricken, and ac-
cocding to Holinshed the mortal
ity was nearly 100 per cent. 1t
ceased with startling but grateful
suddenness after a tremendous
tempest, by which it was popularity
believed to have been literally blown
away from the island.
AS the sanitary conditions of So
Wet Russia are now comparable with
those of Western Europe in the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
it is not surprising that typhus
now RACES there. A great deal has
been said about sending relief to
Russia. The impulse does honor to
the heart, but the head tells us that
the most effective way 70 assist the
stricken land Is to ASSIST 1t to get

Unlike Corliss, of Yale, the Harvard
man did not bother to pick up the news
boy. Instead he seized the street car
and threw it for loss.
The first half was over and Prince
ton led by score of 10 to 0. Things
looked blue for Yale. Neither mascot
was on hand. Yale was trying to win
with nothing but students. Where was
little Jimmy the newsboy? AS a mat
ter of fact he was in the hospital, for
he had been run over again. The boy
could not seem to break himself of this
habit. Unfortunately he had picked
out the afternoon of the Princeton
game when all the Yale players were
much too busy trying to stop the Tigers
to have any time to interfere with auto
mobiles. Fortunately Jimmy escaped
with nothing more than a cash over
one eye, and Champ, the bull terrier,
who had been the cause of the whole
mlxup, was uninjured. "I'm all right
now" Jimmy told the doctor, ''honest
l. am-can | go-I gotta take Champ
out to the game-he's the mascot and
they can't win without hin-please.
Mister, let me go-I guess they need
Us bad out there!"
They let him go and he and Champ
burst into the locker room just as the
big Blue team was about to trot out for
the second half. After that there was
nothing to it. Yale won by a score of
II to 10. Curly clapped his hands to-
