again the question of Government
control of the place.
The ladies of the Mount Vernon AS
sociation realize as keenly as they de-
plore the necessity which compels
the collection of the fee. Two means
of escape are now suggested-an ade-
quate permanent endowment or an
adequate Government appropriation.
II the endowment plan is adopted it
should be based on fund open to
the subscriptions of all Americans.
Equally worthy and equally CON
sistent with the country's dignity
would be q Government appropria-
ton. With that, naturally, would
come Government control. But why
need Government control imply re-
leving the ladies of the Mount Yer
non Association of the trust they
have so long held and of which
they have most amply demonstrated
their worthiness? Assuming their
willingness to continue under the
Government the responsibilities they
have Loyalty and ably met, why not
ask them to sustain them with am
pie Government funds to meet the
cost of administration, which more
than once in the past has strained
the associations resources?

A Greenwich Village Question.

The region between Fourteenth
and Fourth streets west of Sixth
avenue is again under moral exam
ination. Is the life lived by the
Bohemians OF Greenwich Village to
blame for the eleven suicides that
have occurred in the district in the
last year? Is it true that young VII
layers kneel on the steps of churches
and mock at religion? Is 1t true that
rum is to be had in the little restau-
rants? Are girls misled by the CLAM
our of the artistic colony? These are
some OF the questions for which the
Mayor is asked to find answer.
While his Honor is preparing for
a night after the manner of HARouN
Al RAsCHID let us ask question
which bears even more directly on
the existence of the art settlement.
The painters. sculptors and poets
have had free artistic run of the
Village for five years or more. 1Ins
any one of these hundreds of shocked
and spectacled young geniuses pro-
duced in all that time any painting,
statue or line of poetry that will be
remembered ten years hence by the
outer world?

ished. An additional amount can be
saved on the rental of branch offices and
other items incidental to the present
method of disposal.
1t is suggested that a sales commit
tee, not exceeding three. be appointed
to compile complete inventories of all
the Government surplus now remaining
unsold that the sales committee be In
full charge OF the disposal and sale of
all surplus property and that the per-
scnneI. both military and civilian, now
engaged In this work In the various
bureaus be relieved of this work upon
completion of the inventories.
1t is believed that better prices could
be obtained IL the selling of surplus
property were consolidated in one COM
mittee. as this committee would be bet
ter able to cooperate with the industries
identified with the property TO be sold.
This concentration of the disposal and
sale of surplus property would thus
eliminate personnel whose salaries
amount to millions Of dollars annually
and would bring about a better return
to the Government in the prices received
from the sales.
Whatever justification there may have
been In the past for the present sales
policy. 1t no longer exists to-day. when
the commercial world is cleaning house
and industry is making every effort for
new start. GEORGE W. STEELE.

The proposal to put Mount Vernon.

forward. It's revival dates from a

Ing Masons had to pay the 25 cents
admission fee charged to everybody
who enters the grounds.
Not q Mason among them of
course raised the slightest objection
to the money involved. They fully
recognized that this source of reve-
nue. Is essential to the ladies of the
Mount Vernon Association, to whose
patriotic efforts the country is in
debted for the preservation intact of
this most sacred OF American shrines.
The cost of maintaining the grounds
and guarding the mansion and the
tomb from fire and vandals is not
light. The resources of the associa-
tion are limited. That visitors should
contribute to the expenses under
existing circumstances is entirely
proper. All this the visiting Masons
fully understood
But Mount Vernon is shrine, not
an exhibition. Reverent approach to

DR.. Simon Baruch.

DR.. SIMON BARUCH, who died yes
terday in this city in the eighty
first year of life the usefulness of
which was interrupted only when
his fatal illness overlook him, was
a notable example Of those men
whose mental processes never refuse
to accept the new because Of it's nov
city or TO cast out the traditional
when it's falseness is disclosed. To
him the authority Of age in learning
and in practice was valid as long as
1t squared with the results of the
most advanced research. He remained
alert, mentally receptive to the last.
This was true of DR.. BARUoH in
his profession, in which he occupied
the chair Of hydrotherapy at the
College Of Physicians and Surgeons,
Columbia University, and it was true
of him in the numerous activities
which enlisted his energy for the
betterment OF the conditions of life
for his fellows. He was an eager
pioneer, willing to try any expert
ment giving promise Of attaining the
result he had in view and having
support in reason for it's promise.
DR.. BARUoH was leader in the
movement for the establishment Of
free municipal cleansing baths in
New York and throughout the coun-
try. His prominence in advocacy Of
this enterprise has been recognized
by Chicago and by this city, which
have named bathing establishments
after him. Camden, South Carolina,
his home before he came to New York,
erected hospital in his honor. His
good works won for him in his life
time the recognition too often with
held from good men until they have
passed away. The distinction which
came to him was we'll deserved.

Names Debaters at Oxford.

When the debating team of Bates
College sails from Montreal to-day
to measure it's skill and learning
against the forensic ability of Ok
ford University a comparatively
young Maine institution will under
take an adventure against one of the
venerable seats of learning Of the
English speaking world Oxford
tradition, discredited by iconoclasts
but treasured by the romantic, says
that the university had it's begin
nings in the days Of King ALFRED,
attributing to him it's foundation. 1t
is certain that In 1117 scholars OF
Continental reputation were lectur-
ing there, probably under the protec-
tion of HENRY l., the Scholar King.
Bates was opened in Lewiston in
1868, and sprang from the Mairse
State Seminary, a creation OF 1856.
In 1864 it received its charter. 1t
was then progressive, pioneering
institution, first among Eastern col
legiate establishments to admit
women on equal terms with men.
The first woman graduated by Bates
her degree bears date of 1S69-became
a professor in Vassar. Rejecting the
sentiments of NEAL Dow's State, from
its earliest days Bates required alb
stinence from intoxicants among
its students. Older Oxford never had
rule like that. The student whose
pockets were not well lined has al
ways been particularly welcome at
Bates. An aristocracy Of learning
and not democracy of dollars has
always been it's ideal.
The Maine college has honestly
earned the honor of representing
American academic debaters abroad.
It's representatives have won thirty
nine out of fifty intercollegiate de-
bates since 1896, and in the last two
years they have not been defeated.
The team which sails to-day consists
of EDWARD A. NORRIS of Baltimore,
CHARLES M. STARBIRD of Danville and
ROBERT B. WATTS of Portland Pro-
fessor A. G. BAIRD is the coach The
team supports the affirmative on this
question
RESOLVED, That this house ap-
proves the American policy OF nom
intervention in European affairs"
The decision will not be given by
judges but by vote Of the auditors.
The debate will be held on June 16,
that Bates College will give a good
account OF itself in its spokesman.

Give Portugal Time.
Temporary Troubles and Fine Pros
poets Of q Young Repnbl!c.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Friends
OF Portugal will, / am sure, welcome
the conclusion you draw In the final
paragraph of your editorial article on
"rhe Flareup In Portugal" There is
without doubt a general desire for a
strong government IL it is one that
will be just and not purely political.
The situation would seem to be pro-
pitious for getting together of all par
ties. from the mere fact OF the great
number OF petty factions that are stun
shades OF opinion and method. The best
chance the country has had for years
was in the person of President Sidonio
Paes. who, whatever his politics was.
impressed everybody as a strong man
and q man who would probably have
developed into statesman. Unfortu-
nately he was killed by a fanatic and
dominating the situation.
1t is somewhat unfortunate that the
American press Is prone to print news
from Portugal which is calculated to
give the impression that all is utter
confusion there. with no hope of bet
terment. This is Of course far from
the truth The Portuguese are fine.
pie. They are suffering merely from
lack Of experience in the business of
running republic.
Let US all remember that Portugars
background is one Of many centuries OF
nlonarchical, aristocratic and oligarchi-
cal rule. A republic is not made in
ten years Was France one in that
we had centuries of democratic tradi-
tions behind us? Why. then. ask Por-
tugal. starting out with so little expe-
rience and no traditions. to blossom out
as the perfect democracy in little more
than one short decade? Let us BE- fair
ard give her time.
Portugal Is rich. Anybody who cares
to put money into irrigating the basin
of the Tagus can get two crops Of rice
out Of the soil easily, which is only one
of many such opportunities waiting for
enterprising companies. The common
man in Portugal Is q satisfactory indi-.
vidual. 1t is the old upper middle class
which has been accustomed for centu-
ries TO rule the roost and to arrogate
to itself all the political offices, that Is
still doing the most harm. A little more
attention to commerce, to hard work in
fact. and a few more schools, and
Portugal cannot fail TO come out OF
this apparent chaos the fine country
she is intrinsically.
We in New England know what the
Portuguese can do under favorable con-
d,tions. and we know what the Portu-
guese is as an Individual, n courteous,
honest industrious and kind hearted
man. Give Portugal time and she win
emerge from this apparent confusion,
which is merely a phase in her develop
ment. in triumph.
