TO BE TAKES WITH SALT.
"Pennsylvania a Doubtful Stare"' is the
rtartliug caption of an editorial article
in Tuesday's issue of 'The Indianapolis
News." Facts often travel by the slowest
and most roundabout route, and Indiana
*ceins to have been either far ahead or
fir behind the rest of the country in
.-••ijuiriii^ this particular piece of in
formation. Pennsylvania was ■ doubt fill
state in l s< i< if it is doubtful to-day
the fact is bein;: carefully suppressed
this side of the Alleghunies.
There was certainly no nast|fjr of a
belief that the state could be carried by
the Democratic party next fail in evi
dence at the Pennsylvania Democratic
State Convention, held at Alleutowu on
Wednesday. The leading candidate for
the nomination for Governor, E. I^i Rue
Munson, withdrew at midnight on Tues
day, on the plea that his heart was not
strong enough to carry him through a
political campaign, A candidate for Liea
tenant Governor was drafted In spite
of Ills protests, and has since refused
I:> accept the nomination. To fill the
unexpected vacancy at the head of the
• >kel a colorless Guffey Democrat was
selected. Colonel "Jim's" cohorts stand
ing together to defeat the Hon. William
H. Berry, the only Democratic candidate
for a Btate office v.ho has been elected
within the last decade. Colonel Guffey
didn't want Mr Berry as the nominee
for Governor,. because the latter worked
in 11.*!* to elect Bryan delegate? to the
Democratic National Convention and
.iid«vl at Denver in deposing the colonel
r;«iuj his imcieworial post -i national
<'UU!JJtte<-iiiii!J from Pennsylvania. That
was an unpardonable oifence, and It was
properly punished at AJlentown.
Colonel Guffey believes in keeping the
Democratic organization in Penusyl
%*ania as compact as possible. It gives
.... trouble enough now, and he would
he .bothered, beyond endurance if he
foolishly encouraged the election of men
like Berry, -who have shown some popu
lar strength and are therefore disposed
to become uppish and self-opinionated. j
The Gutfpy idea is to dominate the 1
Democratic* party and to let the Repub
licans dominate the state. That is one I
convincing reason -why tbe news from
Indianapolis that Pennsylvania is doubt
ful seems more or less subject to sus- j
picion. _
PRIZEFIGHT Ay D FAIR.
California is to be congratulated on
having a Governor capable of recogniz
ing, though rather late in the day. the
injury done to the state by the dubious
policy of countenancing the demoraliz
ing exhibitions which pass nowadays as
prizefights. Technically, those contests
are classified as boxing matches, but in
reality, they differ from the old-fashioned
lights to a finish cf the prizering only
in being intensely commercialized. The
encounter between the two principals is a
necessary incident in the prosecution of
■ highly speculative enterprise. But the
promoters and fighters are more ; con
cerned about the' profits to be made di
rectly and indirectly through the exhibi
tion than they are about its conformity
to oldtime notions of what was -what
in the realm of pugilistic sport. The
public has naturally become suspicious
of the genuineness of contests in which
there is so great an incentive to "hippo
droming"' and to* the collusive appor
tionment of swollen gate and moving
picture privilege receipts.
Governor Gillett has invoked the Cali
fornia law against prizefighting in order
to stop an encounter which, if It is not
a prizefight, is only an imposition prac
tised on a credulous public. He realizes
the shortsightedness of the "wide open"
attitude advocated by the Mayor of San
Francisco. The Mayor and other local
defenders of prizefighting argue that
these exhibitions bring "easy money"
into the community which tolerates them.
Undoubtedly they do; but such a com
munity pays dearly for that "easy
money" in ■ loss of status in the eyes
of the country at large. Such laxity sug
gests more of less civil irresponsibility,
and when a city in which prizefighting
or public gambling is officially tolerated
asks some special consideration from the
rest of the country the fact of such tol
eration rises to embarrass It.
Two cities have been urging Congress
to support them in holding an exposition
to celebrate the completion of the Pan
ama Canal a few years hence. Both
have been handicapped by records of un
wise tolerance of enterprises barred else
where. New Orleans has long sheltered
the winter racetrack gambling, and pub
lic opinion there is now waking up to
the fact that the tracks have been a
burden, not a benefit, to the community.
San Francisco has been the centre of the
prizefighting industry, and Californians
now find that a wide prejudice would
exist against giving government aid to
an exposition held in a community which
was officially made to appear so out of
touch with the sentiment on that point
of the rest of the country.
The House Committee on Foreign Af
fairs yesterday reported favorably two
resolutions asking foreign governments
to participate in expositions to be held
in 1915 in New Orleans and San Fran
cisco. The House will choose between
them. So far as San Francisco's chances
of securing final approval as the site for
the Panama fair are concerned. Gov
ernor Gillett's ban on the Jeffries-John
son fight ought to prove most helpful.
The best place for a fair celebrating the
union of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
is on the Pacific, and San Francisco is
the most eligible city on (hat coast.
Historically and otherwise, it Is the
chief port on the Western -ocean, and
l)y reason of its situation, its climate
and its resources is well qualified to
conduct a successful international ex
hibition. Now that it is about to he rid
of the prizefight nuisance, it should find
less difficulty in convincing Congress of
its eminent suitability as a Panama ex
position site.
THE EXTRA SESBIOX CRIME.
The Hen. Charles H. Bens, editor of
"The Lyons Republican," who is in a
fine fury over the coming extra session
of the Legislature, at which the knees
of his man. Assemblyman Greenwood,
will require a new and generous appli
cation of stiffening, seems to be bent on
proving that Governor Hughes should
Ik- put iii jail'fcr calling that session.
He invites the Governor's "careful, earn
est and prayerful consideration" of Sec
tion 63 of the New York Penal Code.
which, provides that any one who "com
pels*' or "attempts to compel" the Legis
lature. to take any action is "punishable
"by Imprisonment in a state prison for
"not less than five years, nor more than
"ten years." or by a fine or by both.
The penalty Mr. Belts prints in his most
threatening capitals. The Governor's
purpose in calling the Legislature in spe
cial session is to "compel*' it to pass the
direct nominations bill, says Mr. Betts's
paper.
Putting the Governor in jail would be
attended by such difficulties as would
deter any less intrepid soul than Mr.
Retis. But why should he go to such
lengths': As In himself has explained,
the Governor is only an accessory to the
• rime of calling a special session. Why
not put the principals in the lock-up?
They are the Albany correspondents, who.
Mr. Betts's newspaper seems to think.
forced the extra session for :he purpose
of making news. The real criminals in
the ease, according to ihe same author
ity, -must be liars by nature, instincf,
edu< atiou and unleis; they must Ite
"devoid i >f conscience, have a morbid
"mind, a nose for scandal nnd an imUa
"rubber imagination." If they should be
put in jail for attempting to coerce the
Legislature Wayne County's "leader"
might find it easier to stiffen the knees
<-\ bi* Assemblyman.
PUBLIC IV/> PRIVATE WORKS. .
Report was made yesterday of the
completion of a new ten story mercan
tile building on Broadway in this city.
'Hie contract for its construction was
signed. on April 2.*;, 1909, excavation con
sumed five months, and the actual work
of building began in October last, it
was originally stipulated that it should
be finished by August 1 next, but. the
time was afterward extended to October
1 on account of unfavorable building
conditions. But the building was fin
ished and turned over to its owners 47
days before the former ami 100 days
before the latter date.
The building and the land on which it
stands coal about $12,000,000. It Is
doubtless ■ thoroughly substantial struct
ure, erected in a satisfactory manner
and likely to serve its purposes for years
before any material repairs are needed.
That is the kind of building which in
telligent and prudent business men in
tbiei city have* erected for their uses.
It would be highly interesting to con
trast this record In time of construction
with that which has been made in the
erection of any public building of coru

parable mHgnitude. or even of one of our
modern city schoolhotises. it is donbt-
JpsS true that some of our public build
ings ore of ;i type of construction radi
cally different from and slower than that
of a commercinl building, but even then
the contrast in time is far too great.
Nor is H justifinbie ou the ground
either *'f good workmanship or of econ
omy, for the private building does not
generally require repairs as soon or as
often as the public buUUinjr. and we
nay be sure that shrewd business men
do not pay exorbitant prices for ex
1 edition of work. On the contrary, the
more rapid construction is the less costly
in dollars and cents.
If private undertakings are so much
more promptly, economically and. in
general, satisfactorily performed than
similar undertakings for the public, it
would seem to be folly to transfer to
the public any works which cap properly
be done by private enterprise.
HIGH USANCE ASO SWINDLING.
It would manifestly be improper to
express any opinion as to the truth or
falsity of the accusations against the
officers of the United Wireless Company,
bat if they are true they serve to show
how close akin are high finance and
swindling. What the promoters and offi
cers of the wireless company did. if the
charges against them are well founded,
is precisely what has been done in more
than one promotion of the high finance
variety which has come to grief and
had its records exposed in bankruptcy
proceedings, except that they went a
great deal further than ordinary high
financiers. Substantially the charges
against the wireless company's officers
are that they put forth false financial
statements to deceive the public in re
gard to the financial status of their
company, while they unloaded their own
holdings of worthless stock upon in
vestors. But that is precisely what high
financiers have done who declared divi
dends that never were earned and ex
aggerated assets in order to make a
market for shares they were unloading.
The wireless transactions, according
to the charges, differ from those of high
finance in degree rather than in method.
The promoters, if the Postoffice inspect
ors are right, allowed their imagination
freer rein. We cannot recall in the
realms o-f respectable high finance such
a flood of Avater that the stocks had
only four one-hundredths of a cent of
actual value for every dollar of market
value in them. The changing of $20,000
book value of patents into .5r..020.000.
if true, passes the limits of high finance,
but only in its boldness. In fact, the
counterpart of every wireless transaction
described by the postal inspectors cun
be found described in the receivers' re
ports of the big industrial promotions
and consolidations that went to smash
in the recent era of undigested securi
ties, except that there was more real
value in those creations than there is
alleged to be in this one. It would be
a gain for financial morality to have it
shown how easily the favorite methods
of high finance pass over the line into
plain swindling. It would be desirable
if the issuing of deceptive financial state
ments could be stamped invariably aa
swindling, but. value being a matter of
opinion and accounting inexact and rela
tive, there will probably always be room
for the polite name, high finance, for
methods of turning the pockets of In
vestors inside out.
Tin: BRITISH-CATHOLIC JUBILEE.
The fortieth anniversary of Arch
bishop Farley's ordination in this city
almost coincides with the celebration of
the diamond jubilee of the hierarchy of
his Church in England and Wales. Not
until September will it be sixty years
since tbe hierarchy of bishops in com
munion with the See of Borne was re
stored to that kingdom, but for the sake
of practical convenience the anniversary
will be commemorated this month, when
it will coincide with the anniversary of
ih«- dedication >>f Britain to the Virgin
Mary and to St. Peter, and when it will
be appropriately marked by the conse
cration of the great new Roman Catholic
cathedral at Westminster. This latter
incident will occur on June 2S, and on
June _"> will fall the seventeenth anni
versary of the dedication named. The
celebrations will be on an impressive
scale, atoning Cor the luck of any at
the fiftieth anniversary <>f the restora
tion, ten years ago, due to tlie illness of
Cardinal Yaughitn.
The re-establishmenl of the Catholic
hierarchy in England and Wales must
be attributed to the enthusiasm which
was aroused by the too brief inclination
of Pius IX toward liberalisu» in Italy.
For a time he was almost an idol of
European democracy, :ia<J Englishmen
who hated Bourbon tyranny promptly
sought to encourage him by asking
him to establish in their country the
bishoprics which had been abolished
three centuries before, Iv that work Dr.
Wiseman was foremost, and for it he
was rewarded with the cardinalate of
Westminster. -But the immediate results
wen- scarcely gratifying or encourag
ing. Even so stanch a Catholic as the
Duke of Norfolk was inclined to demur
at. If not to resent, the tone of the Papal
bull as menacing to the traditional in
dependence .if England, and the lapse
of Papal liberalism and the flight to
Gaeta provoked a revulsion of sentiment
as marked as had been the favorable
disposition toward the prelate whom
Newman had acclaimed .is having "ear
"rled the tradition of St. Peter into the
"age of railroads and newspapers." and
whom even Jo wet i conceded to be "a
fine fellow."
There followed one of the most in
tense anti-Papal demonstrations, popu
lar and official, in the modern history of
the kingdom, including legislative pro
hibition ;,f the use of their ecclesiastical
titles by the members of tbe newly cre
ated hierarchy. But the outburst of in
tolerance did good, the discussion which
i» provoked serving ;is an educational
force making powerfully for tolerance
and religious liberty. The coming cele
bration will be an impressive object les
ion to both parties to the age-long con
troversy, demonstrating to the Protes
tants of England the security of their
freedom despite the utmost toleration
for their religious opponents, and illus
trating to those <'atholics of France and
Spain who complain and murmur
against the abolition of their special
privilege the vast possftUftles for
growth and prosperity of n free church
in a free state.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.
The lower house of the Prussian Diet,
after vigorous debate, recently voted down
a resolution to permit cremation in Prus
sia. The main argument against the meas
ure was that burial has an ancient Chris
tian tradition authorized by Christ and His
apostles of the early Church, and that if
cremation were introduced a serious blow
would be struck against the Christian doc
trine of the resurrection of the body, in
favor of cremation it was urged that grave
yards were unhygienic and unaesthetic.
and opposed to modern conditions.

The Schumann festival which was ar

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As president of the Committee of
On»> Hundred on National Health. I wish
to emphasize the following facts:
First— As the inclosed bulletin of the
Committee of One Hundred indicates, the
real strength of the opposition fto a na
tional department or health] evidently
comes from commercial interests, such as
the quack medicine interests and others
who have reason to fear the pure food and
drugs act. While Christian Scientists and
other "drugless" cults are denouncing drug
doctors and denouncing a "medical trust"
which does not exist, these cults are them
selves playing into the hands of a drug
trust which does exist.
Second— lender our Constitution the fed
eral government could not. If It would,
regulate the practice of medicine.
Third— The Owen bill contains no pro
vision aiming to reeulate the practice of
medicine.
Fourth— Section 8 in the Owen bill, the
section authorizing the establishment of
•chemical, biological and other standards."
has been eliminated entirely from the bill,
although only a heated imagination could
have construed this section as attempting
to regulat" the practice of medicine.
Fifth— Senator Owen did not prepare his
bill at the instance either of the American
Medical Association or of the Committee
of One Hundred on National Health. It is
true, however, that the American Medical
Association and the Committee of One
Hundred heartily indorse the bill in pref
erence to any of the other numerous health
bills now before Congress.
Sixth -The Committee of One Hundred
on National Health is not a medical or
ganization. It did not originate with the
American Medical Association, but with
the American Association for the Advance
ment of Science. It is allied with the
American Medical Association only in the
same sense that It Is allied with labor
organizations, farmer organizations, life
insurance companies and various other
agencies which are working to Improve
public health.
Seventh— While opposed to fraudulent
quackery, which is always Imposing 'fake"
medicines and. cure-alls on the public, the
Committee of One Hundred on National
Health is not devoted to any particular
school of medicine to th^ exclusion of
others. Curiously enough, it was a Chris
tian Scientist who moved the appointment
of the Committee of One Hundred. I may
add that in my report on "National Vital
ity" to President Roosevelt I put myself
on record as favoring "medical freedom."
I can indorse almost all of the position on
that subject taken by Mr. Flower.
Eighth— A department of health in Amer
ica, like the Department of Health in Ger
many or anywhere else, will have better
things to do than regulate the practice of
medicine. It will regulate the misbranding
of foods and drugs (there's the rub!), the
pollution of streams, the inspection of
meats and quarantine, and will obtain and
distribute information in regard to health
of human beings, just as the Department
of Agriculture dopj In regard to the health
of hogs and cattle.
When the "League for Medical Freedom "
suddenly appeared on the horizon our
movement had encountered substantially
no opposition except anumg quacks and
quack medicine proprietors. On the other
hand, our movement has the support of
the President, of both political parties, as
expressed in their platforms; of scientific,
philanthropic, medical and labor organiza
tions and the granges, as welj as of th»
life insurance companies; of Dr. EL W.
Wiley, of the Bureau of Chemistry, and of
General Walter Wyman. p* the I'ubli 1 -
Health and Marine Hospital Service. The
general public will find it hard to believe
that these Indorsements, especially the
hearty indorsement of the life insurance
companies, can be in the Interest of a
"medical trust."
For further information I would r^fer
the reader to Bulletin 41 of the Committee
of One Hundred, about to be Issued (ad
dress Drawer 4">. New Haven), to the Sen
ate reports i.Nos. 1 and 2> on hearings on
S. WH9 (address Senate document room), to
House reports of hearing- on health bills
June .' to 6 (address document room.

Owen's speeches (address Senator Owen)
and to my report on "National Vitality**
(Senate document 419).

A PLEASED READER.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir : Permit me to tell you of the pleas
ure afforded me by your account of Hamil
ton's Philadelphia trip. The style . was
vivacious and airy, as befitted the sub
ject. I' was a fine piece of work.
I also desire to commend your excellent
reports of the tennis tournaments this sea
son. The tennis devotees are not so dem
onstrative us the followers of some other
branches of sport, but there Is a host of them,
and I know of several who have switched to
The Tribune on account of its sports. I
have heard the suggestion, which I second,
that on the occasion of important matches
you inform your readers of them "ii the
morning of the day on which they occur.
This would ;>f of Rreat' Interest in many
cases. 11. C. LAVGHJJN

MR. ROOSEVELT AND SUFFRAGE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: .Mrs. Gilbert E. Jones, in a recent
article, says:
"The first 'ecture of our National League
for the Civic Education of Women, of
which I am ..he founder, was held December
4 1308. A letter from President Roosevelt
was read from the platform, and in It he
showed conclusively thai he was not in
favor of woman suffrage." ' , '
The tetter to which Mi -• Jones refers was
published in all the Now York papers tho
day after the meet Ins. In it Mr. Roosevelt
said : ,
''Personally) I believe in woman suffrage
• „.;• Ido not believe that It will produce
any of the evils feared.'"
