tricities of air pressure in traced back
to the interchange of atmosphere be

Professor Moore undoubtedly means
when he says that the cause* of cli

deemed quite as absurd as the belief

ing the skies.
HR. SIIOXTss TROUBLES.
No doubt the rest of the strap-har.s
ers will sympathize with Mr. Shonts iv
his (roubles incident to rldincr in his own
subway. To be driven by the crowd
from an express train into a local, only
to tiud the latter so jammed that it was
impossible in get out at his statiou. was
enough to justify the strongest language
oo the part of Mr. Shouts. Still, we
think that sympathy will be tempered by
ihe thought that Mr. BnonstS himself was
largely to blame for the conditions which
caused his discomfort
New .subways were not needed for a
certain measure of relief from the
present wellnigh intolerable overcrowd
ing in the present one. An extension
of the station platforms, for example,
will alone increase the subway's capac
ity 2-j per cent. Mr. Shouts promises
that relief a year from now — when the
traffic will have increased about 26 per
cent and the crowding under the new
conditions will be just about what it Is
to-day. Those platforms ought to have
been lengthened long ago. The idea was
certainly proposed to the Interborough.
Rapid Transit Company as early as ICKXV
when it was rejected as "an operating
monstrosity." That was before Mr.
Shonts's time, to be sure, but since he
became president there has been no haste
to increase the subway's rapacity in this
very simple and obvious way. The sub
ject was repeatedly taken up with Mr.
Shouts by 4hc Public Service Commis
sion, which has borne witness to his un
willingness^ until recently to make such
an increase in facilities. *Jf early in
President Shonts's term he had moved
vigorously for an extension of the sub
way platforms, lie would have ridden
home the other night in comparative
comfort.
The zeal of the Interborough for the
relief of its patrons i< tempered by other
considerations. Not only was the ex
tension of the subway platforms so long
postponed that an addition of 29 per
(feat to the facilities will be already out
grown when it is provided, but it will
be remembered that only a few months
ago Mr. Shouts, who now talks <■!' un
limited backing, was protesting that ho
cuuid raise money to build only a two
track subway, which by the time it was
completed would bo so far outgrown as
to be as badly crowded on the day it
was opened as the present subway is
now. If the public had allowed Mr.
Shonts to do that he might have the*
same harrowing experience in an over
crowded subway in l!)l."i that he has just
had In MHO.
THE TARIFF PROGLAMATWXS.
The tariff proclamations' Issued on
Tuesday by President Taft discredit the
foolish forecasts of those who argued in
dustriously last summer that the maxi
mum schedule of the Payne law was in
tended to apply — and would apply — to
the great bulk of our imports from
foreign countries. ' The Tribune dis
missed roch forecasts as fanciful because
it could not interpret a demand for a
fair exchange of commercial courtesies
as a challenge to an international tariff
war. and felt that other countries would
ccc that it was as much to their advan
tage as it Is to ours to pursue the policy;
of just and equal treatment. There are
some countries which desire to make ;
trade arrangements to suit themselves
alone and to exact favors which they
are unwilling to return. Such demands
have compelled the United States in self
defence to adopt the dual schedule sys
tern. But the normal American policy
remains what it has always been— that
of offering our market to all nations
opening their markets to us as freely
as they do to our commercial rivals. We
hare always been coundent that most
foreign countries would prefer to deal
with us on the uatural "most favored
nation basis, and the proclamations
jest Issued give a substantial assurance
that friendly relations with the great
majority of our customers abroad will
remain undisturbed. .
The arrangements bo far completed
cover only European trade. The United
Kingdom. Italy. Russia, Spain. Switzer
land and Turkey have manifested their
Intention nol to discriminate against
American products. They take together
more than half of our exports to Europe.
In the Oscal year 1908-XJ9 our total s.iies
tt. European countries amounted in value
to $1,146,759^321, Sales to the rive coun
tries named we~e as follows: United
Kingdom, 1514,627386: Italy. $58,509,
586; Etussia (European), $15,633,175;
Spain, $19,079,003; Switzerland, $750,
7.>;— a total of $^X)f^.K«^^77. From pres
ent indications the only countries in Eu
rope likely tv hold out for a one-sided
barga in— n bleb would commit the United
states to admitting their products bere
on terms more favorable than they grant
our products— are Germany and France.
Germany bought from us in 1908-*OU
goods rallied si $235324,140 and France
goods valued at $108,764,262 a total of
$344,088,402. Canada excepted. there
se.-ji'< ;., be outside of Europe no de
position on the part of any nation <ji
semi-independent sovereignty to dis
criminate against us in exchanges. Our
sales in the foreign market In !'• -
amounted to $1,613,011,104. Only a little
over one lift ii of this commerce is now
seriously threatened by tariff disagree
mente and dteerunlnatious, and the pros
ped is that Germany and France, tind
iiig themselves In an isolated minority,
will noon aeardei th'-ir discriminatory
programme.
In that event the Ulilted 9t*te* will
have v.ou a signal victory iii the cause
of equity In iuternalionaj trade relations.
The principle for which it stands is un

-V 0 "MJLUCIOUB MORALIST."
We hope • failure on our part to ad
mire the Hou. Bonn Conger In his latest
manifestations will uot be construed
as admiration for the Hon. Jotham P.
Allds, but if the accuser at Albany con
tinues to talk in his present vein he will
speedily become contemptible.
Senator Conger has made the gravest
possible charge of corruption against a
fellow Senator, yet he is saying: 'I want
"you to specify with as much emphasis
"as possible (hat Senator Jotham P.
"Allds and I are good friends." Is he
the good friend of and does he value the
friendship of a man declared by him
to be a corruptionist? "'I am sorry-" :ie
■ays, 'i tell you I am sorry." And again :
"It never entered my head that the
■'words would tied their way Into 'he
"newspapers." He made his charge
ajrair.st Senator Ailds with the full uii
derstanding that it was in a "secret con
fereuce." Moreover. "I he whole thing
"doesn't amount to a great deal, and,
"further, it occurred eight or nine yean
"years ago when \J<>* Allds and I were in
"the Assembly together. We knew each
"other very well. We were on commit
"tees together. Why, (hat matter be
"tween us was a mere flea bite in eom
"parison v.ith what was being dune In
"Albany at that tiite"!
In a word, bribery is nothing. It is
proper to u-Ak of the corruption of a fel
low member aujong friends, but there is
no duty resting upon one who knows of
it to make it public, '"ongor j> sorry,
and Allds. as his old friend, ought to
overlook liis indiscretion because lie did
not mean any harm.
This is pitiful. It is unnecessary for
the Senator to protest that he is not a
"malicious loralisi." The public can
see from his utterances that he is not
actuated by malice, or by morality
either.
A XTI-OPn M PROGRESS.
There appears to be abundant room
for encouragement in taj Chiueso anti
opium campaign, to the promotion ot
which a year ago. under the lead of the
United States, the powers of the world
devoted an international congress at
Shanghai. Reports are l»y no means
complete, and the lack of an efficient
general government causes much diver
sity of action and results iv the differ
ent provinces of the empire, but it is
certain that marked progress is being
made in the suppression of the drug
habit and of the cultivation of poppies
for the man. faeture of opium.
" In Peking Itself it is authoritatively
estimated f that among the people three
tenths have given up opium smoking,
and among the officials eight-tenths have
done so. Unfortunately many persons
have taken to using "anti-opium i.ills."
some of them doubtless in good faith,
supposing that the things will help them
to abandon the drug habit, and others
taking them as an acceptable substitute
for the pipe. But just as various "anti
alcoholic" nostrums in 1 this country
have consisted chiefly of bad whiskey,;
these pills arc composed chiefly of
opium, so that the evil of taking them
is scarcely less than that which they
falsely pretend to: cure. Despite this,-
Jiowever, the gain haf.been great, and it
is proceeding at. a steadily increasing
pace.
The attitude of the government i? re
assuring. Last year two additional im
perial edicts against opium were issued
in forcible terms, and it was made plain
that with the increase of governmental
authority under tne constitutional sys
tem there will be an increase of official
pressure against the opium habit Tbe
provincial governments also strength
ened their efforts against the evil, and
expressed themselves in various cases
as in favor of more stringent measures
than any which have yet been adopted.
The opinion seems to be gaining ground
that the only effective means of sup
pressing the opium hubit is that of pro
hibiting the cultivation of poppies al
together. In several provinces, indeed,
such prohibition has been essayed, and
although it is not entirely successful it
has resulted in a far greater diminu
tion of the evil than has been effected
elsewhere. Must encouraging of all,
perhaps, is the assurance that popular
sentiment is heartily sustaining the gov
ernment iv this campaign and is making
it increasingly disreputable f«->r men to
indulge in the vice.
THE ROIIAX EXHIBITIOX OF 1911.
Some account was given in tho art
columns of The Tribune a fortnight ago
of the great exhibition which is to be
opened In Rome in 1911. In that year
the people of Italy will celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of tho proclamation
of their principal city as the capital of a
new and united state. They will exhibit
In a series of buildings especially con
structed for the purpose a great mass of
objects illustrating their historic past,
and much space, of course, will be given
to art. A permanent edifice will shelter
the native productions in painting and
sculpture, that building being erected on
an excellent site between the Papa
Giulio Museum and the Borgheae Gar
dens, and near at hand, amid. these ap
propriate surroundings. . number of
structures of a temporary character will
house the works of foreign artists. The
sum of $40,000 has been set apart by
the government for prizes which are to
be offered for international competition
In short. Italy is proposing to do all that
could bo expected of her in the creation
of an impressive artistic scheme. She
has invited tho nations to co-operate,
and most of them have accepted!
promptly making the appropriations
necessary for the building of th^ir
pavilions. It was reported yesterday,
however, by our Washington correspond
ent that America's share in tho enter
prise still remains undetermined. The
news Is as regrettable as it is surpris
ing.
Prom the Washington di&patch Just
mentioned lt'appeara that Senator Xew
lands has received from Mr. a. I>. F.
Hamlin. professor of architecture In
Columbia University, a letter stating
that there is astonishment In Europe
over our neglect of the communication
made by the Italian government moru
than a year ago inviting the United
States to take part in the exhibition. It
is eddtd that th*s authorities in Jtuiy
have even showu their Interest m our
possible participation by extending to
February 18 the nM)I In which space
may Tx reserved. Senator Newland* has
declared that he will try to secure Con
ar^sional action in time, but the last
•lay is l^s thnn a month ilistant, and it
1b to be hoped that his efforts may every
where be instantly supported. There are
several reasons Why \ye should be repre
sented at Rome. There is, to begin with.
the question of international good will.
Furthermore, th<? occasion clearly prom
ises to be on? uniting all the schools Ct
European art In a full demonstration of
their resources. It Is scarcely fitting
that at such a time nothing should be
done to show the great progress made in
American architecture, painting and
sculpture. With all due modesty, it may
nevertheless be asserted that in these
matters we are abundantly qualified ta
compete with the artists of the world,
and to fail to do so would be an unpar
donable omission. At the present mo
ment a private fndlvldual, Mr. Hugo
Reisinger, is getting together a num
ber of American paintings to exhibit in
Berlin, as a return for the compliment
shown us In the German exhibition at
the Metropolitan Museum. It ought not
to be left to unofficial intervention of
this sort to enforce the claims of Amer
ican art before the world at Rome in
1911.
The opportunity Is ripe, too, for the
courteous recognition of an unpayable
artistic debt which we owe to Italy.
That she has offered a second home to
certain of our painters and sculptors is
not to be forgotten, though we have in
recent years substituted new ideals for
those which drew so man}- Americans to
Rome about tho middle Of the last cen
tury. Moreover, Italy remains to this
day an inexhaustible wellepring of in
spiration, at which many an artist who
has received his training elsewhere is
only too glad to drink. How many
painters, formed in the ft'idlo* of Paris,
have hastened to stimulate their imagi
native powers, to broaden their taste
and tv exercise their gifts amid the
lovely scenery and the unnumbered
monuments of the South! Of what im
mense value has Venice alone been to
them! But we may ignore all this; we
may ignore the incessant reaction of
Italy upon the artistic temperament at
large, and still confess to an immeas
urable obligation which Incidentally
touches our most "practical" Interests*.
The regeneration of American architect
ure has disclosed at countless points the
influence of the old Italian masters.
The establishment of the American
Academy at Rome, to which that distin
guished architect, the late Charles F.
McKim, contributed so much, was very
liir from marking the beginning of a
new movement. It was, rather, the rati
fication of one which had been going on
i'or years, the gathering up of threads of
Influence, the cry?talllzation of a tra
dition. Many of our architects had been
wont to make use of Italian ideas. One
of the guiid who had employed them
with peculiar effectiveness saw the de
sirability oi making them more than
ever part and parcel of our artistic edu
cation. Hence the academy in question,
which is at once the assurance of a sys
tematization of our Italian studies In
the future or.d a monument to what we
have gained from them in the past.
Survey American architecture all over
the country, and repeatedly the merits of
balance and refinement encountered will
prove traceable to the influence of the
beautiful buildings of the Italian Renais
sance. Are considerations like these too
line drawn to commend themselves to
the Amoric.ni legislator? We think not.
The remodelling of the tariff oix art is a
conclusive enough instance of our readi
ness to pay tribute to tsie things of the
mind, and It Is not conceivable that a
question of expense, perhaps $100,000,
Will be allowed to stand in the way of
our making <-. worthy appearance in the
Roman exhibition.
If Mr. S'nonts had a very uncomfort
able time riding in the subway, his com
pany, at any rate, has a very comfort
able surplus for the las>t year— ?l.VJOO,ooo
greater than in 1908.
Mr. KavnT'; Democracy is shown by
deeds as well a<= by words. In the inter
minable and vexing tariff debate -he stood
steadfast for those principles, which Mary
land Democrats still regard as the founda
tion stones of Democracy.— Baltimore Sun.
This must be interesting news to Mr.
Rayner's colleague, the Hon. John
Walter Smith, who in the "Interminable
and vexing" struggle in the Senate stood
steadfast for a set of principles ma
terially different from Mr. Rayner's. As
a neo-Randallite and Baileyite Mr. Smith
use 3 foundation stones which Mr. Rayner
rejects. Yet he is generally '•ecognized
as a far more potent arbiter of what
constitutes Democracy in the State of
Maryland.
Mayor Gaynor's letter to Street Clean

MISS PECK AND MT. HUASCARAN
Mrs. Workman Submits Brief in the
Peak Scaling Controversy.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After her ascent of the loner north
peak of Mount Huascaran, in Peru, In 1&0S,
Miss A. Peck wrote in •'Harper's Maga
zine" and In other periodicals ar.d papers
the following: "It may be regarded ai cer
tain that Huasearan is above 23,000 feet,
hence higher than Aconcagua, 22.500 feet,
and the loftiest mountain known on th!s
hemisphere If. as seems probable, ths
height is 24.000 feet, I Imve the honor of
breaking the world's record for men as
well as women."
Knowing from her own statement that
Miss Peck made no instrumental observa
tions above 19.600 feet on Huascaran, and
believing, furthermore, Aconcagua to be
the highest mountain of the Andt*, I de
cided to test the truth of these assertions
by sending expert European engineers to
make a detailed, up-to-date triangulatlon
of the two summits of Mount Huascaran.
The only previous known measurement ot
this mountain was made many years ago,
and is said to have given a height of iJ.ISO
feet for tlie south, or higher, summit.
Professor Fr. Schrader, who a few years
ago' made the most authentic measure
ment yet made of Aconcagua, and M. Henri
Vallat, both well known French scientists
and heads of the Socifite G6n€rale d'Etudes
et do Travaux Topographlque, of P.aris,
undertook • to assist me in getting up th<;
expedition, and gave the matter their close
personal attention. M.de Larmlnat. expert
engineer, who has carried out successfully
important survey work for the above so
ciety, was selected as chief of the mission.
In July, 1909. accompanied by two other
competent French topographers, he started
for Peru.
Favored by good weather conditions and
assisted as to transport !>y tIM Peruvian
government, they executed a careful and
detailed survey from the sea to Yungay.
and. by actual measurement established the
heights of four stations in th-< Black Cor
dillera, from each of which they, triangu
lated the two peaks of Huasearan, so that
Huasearun now stands as one of the most
accurately measured high Andean moun
tains.
The results are: Height of north peak.
climbed by Miss Peck, £1,512 feet; of south
peak, still unclimbed, 22.157 feet. These
figures may vary by a lew fe*t. but not
many, when the calculations are finally
gone over by M. Vallat for verification.
3lount Aconcagua, nearly 22.500 feet, still
remains, as I predicted, and as Sir Martin
Conway and other Andean explorers have
always maintained, the highest peak ot
South America.
Miss Peck's highest ascent, up to date,
therefore, stands, north summit Huascaran.
21.512 feet, instead 0f.24,0W feet, as she ha 3
estimated it. and she has not tho "hor.or of
breaking the world's record" either for men
or women, for my two highest ascents, re
spectively 22.56s and 23.300 feet, debar her
from that honor -In the- case of women,
while .a number of men have made, ascents
exceeding her highest.

COMMERCIAL NEEDS,
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The commercial supremacy of the
State of Now York requires the lowest pos
sible transportation charges over her
waterways, her steam roads, her electric
roads, her highways.
Man follows the payroll. The state which
intelligently draws within her borders the
greatest number of industries having pay
rolls employing skilled labor wiU have the
largest population and the most diver=<nod
product in manufacturing. This will pro
vide the largest home market, and will
also provide large taxable assets for edu
cational and governmental purposes.
New York State, wiih the exception of
its two terminal cities. Buffalo and New
Turk, and «i strip cf land thirty miles wide
with the Erie Canal in the centre of it
from Buffalo to Albany, is a strictty agri
cultural state. Take these two cities and
this narrow area out of New York's fifty
thousand Equare miles of area, and It
would be difficult to find anything in the
United States that is mere truly agricult
ural or more poorly developed

IN BEHALF OF CHILDREN.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Over thirteen years ago ex-Mayor
Hewitt, chairman of an advisory committee
appointed by Mayor stronp to report to
him as to the need of small parks and
playgrounds, wrote that "in the original
plan of New York the children of New
York seem to have been forgotten."
And ha might have truthfully added that
in the years that have elapsed since then
these neglected wards of the public have
been continuously Ignored and overlooked.
Latterly too much street has beaaj laid
upon the intellectual warita of the rising
BjsMßatara, to the exclusion of its physical
welfare.
To my thinking, on every block where
there Is a Carnegie Library there should
be a email park, wherein, amid Inviting
Burrpundings. children can safely Indulge
in auwaemeali nuturaj^to their age and so
essential to their health.
In my belief, the very tlrst duty lmj»iscd
upon our municipal authorities i. to pro
vide breathing spaces In tho 10th »rd and
in tho southeasterly portion ot the nt a
Ward of Manhattan Borough.
In this congested, crowded section of the
city, the most densely populated district m
the civilized world, are tO be found scores
of unsanitary tenements, which Bank both
aides of the narrow thoroughfarwi whoee
