Views on Mr.. Wilson
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho letter in your Sunday issue
Of February 8, from Myra A. Elliott,
surely sums up Wiloon in a nutshell.
She expressed exactly what has run
In the minds OF the majority Of our
people. 1t does not necessarily follow
that such views are the result of
political party bias. I had not cast n
ballot for a Republican President in
over thirty years until voted for
Harding, but. entertaining the same
views as your correspondent, could
not vote for defender Of Wilson.
recall two acts Of Mr.. Wilson when
President which term not simply
autocratic, but decidedly mean. The
ono was his refusal to allow Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist and take oversee
at least one hundred thousand volun-
tcers Of superior caliber, and the other
turning bad; that eminent soldier
General Wood when almost within
sight Of the place Of embarkation.
History Is said to do justice to all
men who havc been unjustly judged.
In the case Of MIR. Wilson, would
willingly leave his case to the verdict
Of history. FRANK EMO.

turn, will have to be guarded. and SO
on, all TO be paid and supported by
the poor, tax-burdened citizen, whose
home will become guard house.
Mr.. Wilson has quoted something
attributed to Abraham Lincoln, in an
attempt to throw the weight Of
Lincolns mighty influence on the side
of prohibition. Lincoln was not a pro-
hbitonist. On tho contrary, he was
strong opponent of prohibition. as
witness the following statement quoted
from what Abraham Lincoln actually
did say upon the subject:
"Prohiition will work great in
jury to the cause Of temperance. 1t
is species Of ntempcrancc within
itself, for it goes beyond the bounds
Of reason, IN that it attempts TO
control mans appetite by lcgisla
tion and makes a crime out Of things
that are not crimes. prohibition
law strikes blow at the very prin
ciples on which our government was
founded
Possibly. after am dead, some zeal
Gus advocate Of prohibition will pro-
nounce me prohibitionist, and to
prove it, will quote me AS having OBJ
jected to tho passage of a Federal law
to Danish all prohibitionists to Dry
Tortugas. l have always felt that if
such law were advocated | would op-
pose it as being too sweeping and dras-
tic; but, In view of the chances Of
my being misunderstood after am
dead. and being pronounced a pro-
hibitionist, let me say that I shall not
oppose the passage OF such a law.
Mr.. Wilson says that some of my
remarks are an insult to "thc over
whclming majority Of nativc-born
Americans who wrote prohibition into
law" Can it be possible that Mr. Will
son does not know that it was an over
whelming minority, instead of an over
whelming majority Of native born
Americans that put the Eighteenth
Amendment into our Constitution
Again, Mr.. Wilson says, "No law
abiding American has yet had oc-
casion to justly (sic) complain Of the
prohibition law"
think that Mr.. Wilson is perfectly
safe in this statement, IL We are to
take his words literally, for there is
probably not truly law-abiding
American In this country since pro-
hibition went into effect and since our
taxes have been raised until they fol-
low the clouds over the skyscrapers
and firt with the stars.

Farmers Exemption Invalid
Donnelly Anti Trust Act Decision in Accord With
Opinion of Chief Justice Taft

Amendment? That is the necessary
effect of Connolly VS.. Union Sewer
Pipe Company (1s4 U. S., $40, SO
Sup. CT. 496, 46 L. Ed, 679), where
an antitrust act was held invalid
because it contained the excepting
provision that it should mot apply
to agricultural products or livestock
while in the hands of the producer
or raiser"
In this state it is claimed that the
Legislature has the power to permit
farmers and dairymen to engage in
conspiracies in restraint Of trade.
Could it decree that assaults COM
mitted by farmers and dairymen are
not crimes, but are crimes if COM
mitted by building material men, and
have special legislative treatment to
provide such classification?
1t IS said that If the 1918 amend
ments of exemptions were unconstitu-
tional that fact would not affect the
amended statute because the amend
ment is separate and could be Topped
off without injury to the original en-
actment. OF course, that would be true
as to the situation after the declara-
ton Of unconstitutionalty. But the
contention Of the defendants counsel
before Justice McAvoy was that until
such declaration the two sections
must be read together, with the result
that persons who were apparently but
nconstitutionally exempted were actu-
ally permitted by the Legislature and
state authorities to do what they had
no moro right to do than other men
who were committed to prison for like
deeds; that there was, in fact, unjust
discrimination; classification which
was arbitrary, not classification bascd
on reason and justice.
1t was conceded that the present
statute would remain inviolate and
constitutional. 1t was argued, how
ever, that so long as unconstitutional
discrimination existed, the operation Of
the whole statute was suspended in its
application to acts committed at that
time. Justice McAvoy overruled that
contention and it seems that Justice
Pooley, who probably knew of Justice
McAvoy's decision, took the opposite
stand. which also seems to have some
considerable support in Truax VS.. Cor

New York, Feb. 16, 1922.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May make plea for fairness
to chiropractic?
There is much to commend in the
statement by the Medical Society of
the County of Nwc York, but it is in
complete: it critjcizes condition but
suggests no remedy. except the annihi-
lation Of chropractic.
Everything that has been said about
some "chiroprnctors" and some "chiro-
practic schools" is undoubtedly true.
Many of them ought to be put out of
business as unworthy Of public conf
dence and unworthy of chiropractc.
But how can this condition be rcmc-
died? Is it not rather hopeless stu
alton when chiropractic critics eagerly
point out it's weaknesses, but oppose
the only effective means for overcom-
ing those weaknesses?
The remedy lies in legal recognition
of chiropractic as an established meth
cd of healing and in proper regulation
of its practitioners.
Gndreds Df-icollcgc bred men and
women are practicing chiropractic, in
cluding many who formerly practiced
medicine and ostcopathy. Hundreds
more. who have had at least high
school education are successful prac-
titioners. These people have ideals
and ethical standards and want to clean
out the takers from their ranks. But
how arc they to go about it without
legal recognition to support their ef.
forts? AT present in New York State
any quack can represent himself
"chiropractor," and who has the power
to say that he isn't?
| quite agree that it would be unwise
to grant blanket recognition to all who
represent them selves as chiropractors.
capable chiropractic board should be
established and make every would-be or
assumed to be chiropractor prove
whether he is or not. This would an
swer every objection the medical men
make against chiropractic and compel
chiropractic to stand or fall strictlv
| on It's merits. FAIR pIAY

Planned for self.driven bargcs of
900 tons cargo, and officially pro-
claimed In 1915 ss 3,000-ton cargo
barge canal. a barge Of 1000 tons
cargo cannot now be navigated thereon.
Comparatively few bargcs have been
built since the now canal system was
fully opened to navigation in 1917, and
the canal fleet consists mainly of the
old barges (formefly animal towed) Of
about 24o tons cargo, their number
lessening year by year.
Public sentiment In this state among
those who are informed is becoming
more acutely alive to this situation,
and this In the course Of time will re-
suit In irrepressible demand for re-
lief and for the further enlargement
and improvement of this state canal
system.
The logical remedy is a ship canal
between Lake Ontario and the Hudson
River for tho navigation Of vessels Of
deep draft between the Great Lakes,
the Port Of New York and the sea-
Such a ship canal is wholly practi-
cable; complete survey and a de-
tailed statement Of the then estimated
cost was made by the Federal govern
ment years ago. Such a ship canal
may parallel the barge canal or tho
latter, between Lake Ontario and the
Hudson River, may be converted into
q ship canal.
Such a wholly national ship canal
would involve far less expenditure for
construction than will this intorna-
tional scheme.
In point Of seniority the New York
ship canal scheme leads.
As to achievement, cncountcrin9
fewer or less formidable natural obsta-
cles and engineering difficulties, it
leads.
Beyond all, as matter Of patriotism
and national pride, it leads incom-
parably.
BY all means let US build all ship
canals. in due order OF precedence

The Canal Problem
Justice Poolcy's Decision
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir; Please allow mo briefly to
reply to some OF the misleading state
ments made by Samuel Wilson in his
letter to The Tribune commenting on
my letter in your issue of SUNDAY.
January 90.
Mr.. Wilson mentions the fact that
he Is fellow Jcrseyman. love him
FOR that, but 1t is irrelevant and imna-
terial.
Mr.. Wilson says: "whcnever Mr..
Maxim takes his pen in hand to write
shout prohibition he gets real excited. g"
Il Is common expedient for q person
stalled in an argument, and at loss for
telling thing to say against an oppo-
nent, to accuse him of being angry or
excited merely to befog the issue. II
Mr. Wilson could see and hear me some
times when / do get excited and cut
loose in private to my friends on the
subject of prohibition he would think
thst my language in my letter, which
stumped him for words, was like a
summer zephyr breathing balm on the
sweet silence of night in June.
Mr. Wilson Is a person of non
alcoholic public spirit who believes
that temperance can be driven into pco-
pie. He has his own ideas as to what
constitutes right and wrong-what
constitutes temperance and intemper-
snce, justice and injustice, righteous
ress and iniquity. 1t i, sad habitude
of the jealous temperance reformcr
that he teels no concern as to whether
or not persons to be reformed by him
share his views, whether or not thcy
resent his intrusion into their affairs
as their mentor, guide and warden.
lie believes that any ono who would
take drink needs keeper. Mr.. Will
son evidently intends to see to it that
the peregrinations of every citizen
through this American vale of tears
shall be personally conducted and kept
constantly under the surveillance of
Aeeper-a duly appointed prohibition

In view of the Intellectual operation

last two years of its existence, if 1t
is actually to be enforced every
mothers son of US will have to have
resident keeper appointed by the
government, to live with US and keep
US in charge-one who shall so where
We go, abide where we abide, and who
nlctaphorically shall be handcuffed to
Us. And this keeper will also require
watching. 1t has been found that pro-
hibition enforcement agents cannot be
trusted in the presence Of the evi-
dence, and further, that those who are
set to watch the enforcement agents,
also, in their turn, need watching.
Therefore, to be efectual. every citizen
will require a personal bodyguard and

New York Canal First
A National Waterway in Preference to the international
St. Lawrence Project
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS one who In 1915 suffered
the collapse Of promising proposition
entailing the use Of the New York
Barge Canal. owing to official misrepre-
sentation at that time Of the capacity
of that canal system, / have addressed
to the chairman Of the Senate Inter
state and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee the following argument against the
proposition that the Federal govern
ment advance the international st.
Lawrence scheme in preference to Il
wholly national one---the conversion Of
the New York Barge Canal, between
Lake Ontario and the Hudson River,
into ship canal navigable for vessels
Of the deepest draft practicable on tho
Great Lakcs,
As understand it, the United States
and Canada are to boar equally the
cost Of this work. The greater part
of the cost Of this waterway will be
for the Canadian part thereof.
1t has been authoritatively stated
that there arc natural obstacles and
engineering difficulties, not calculable
now, which may double or more the
now estimated cost of that undertak-
ing.
A material ingredient of the scheme
is the utilization Of the water power
of the st. Lawrence River, Of which,
it has been estimated. but 16 per cent
will inure TO the benefit of the United
States.
This proposed internationa, water
way will be closed to navigation by ice
during q material portion Of the year.
If this waterway takes precedence
and is first constructed and opened it
will tend materially to injure the
greatest seaport Of our nation--the
Port Of New York.
AS to the New York Barge Canal. r.
is now reluctantly, if not openly. ad
mitted that it has not come up to the
expectations entertained for it and
needs enlargement and alteration.
