7f?/; MAYOR iVB Till. SUBWAY
r ROB LEM.
Intelligent men will applaud Mayor
Gaynor ha his r "'■"""** determination
not to be moved by the "clamor" over
subways. There is much of it on bath
sides. * There is an enormous amount of
interested and very little disinterested
advice, and still less intelligent consid
eration, sn<4i as the city administration,
as the Mayor pointed oat, is bound to
rive to the subject, and in the broadest
possible way.
There is one aspect of it which we are
sure will be most seriously borne in mind
by the Mayor himself, and that i* the
position in which the city -will be placed
if it siK'nds the $f>0.000.000 available for
subway construction in strengthening
the monopoly now possessed by the In
terborOTtgh Rapid Transit Company, ;ui
obstructionist, as the Mayor himself has
pointed out, because of its relations with
the waterlogged Interboromgb-Metr©
politan combination. The Mayor holds,
and has often expressed, very strong
views regarding the group thai exploited
the street railways of this city and
finally tied up the subway with their
overcapitalised companies. On Ancrust
1. 190 G. for example, the Mayor, in a
long interview in "The New York
World" denounced the process by which
(he street railway combination was built
up. Among other things he said of the
Interboroi:gh-Metropolitan:
Consolidation on a basis of more than
five time?, and maybe ten times, the
actual capital honestly invested is
ai; outrage on the public. . . . On
this false- basis these companies are
novr all consolidated under a series
o;~ bases for 990 years each, the
present controlling company • Lug the
last lessee. ..." of such a state
of thin?rK continuing 999 years! The
people who are doincr these thinsrs and
! making these leases for 999 years must
! be morally blind or altogether out of
! their heads. Do they really i«":ieve the
! community will put up with such busl-
I ness for one generation let alone one
| thousand years?
And then of the subway's relation to
j this combination the Mayor said:
■ And th» most Incredible thing in all
i this basinet is that the subway roa^.
I wholly built with tlr* •■■.-- money. Is in
tHs combination, and its vast earnings
i;re being declared «-ut in dividends on
capital which represents nothing: but a
means of perpetually extorting money
fr<'in the pockets of thf- many.
Obviously only tls-- gravest considera
tions will lend Mayor Gayuor to use the
city's money l" add still further to the
valuable property in the hands of a com
bination which he >" justly and accu
rately «l^<»-ril>e<] in the interview from
which these expressions are taken.
HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE PLAXS.
The New York and New Jersey Inter
state Bridge Commissions have at last
after four years agreed •■<•■;. a sire for
the proposed span across the Hudson
River. That Is to say, they have select
ed a site which tiiey unanimously re
gard as best suited for :i bridirn of the
greatest possible ■utility and ronvenience
t.. iransfluvlal traffic. In this selection
they will probably have the approval of
ih<- majority of intelligent people who
give unbiassed thought to the subje'".
But thai, as we shall see. does not neces
sarily mean that the i>ri<i;ro is i«> !>e
built at once.
The site chosen ; i- at or near West.
T.Tth street, in this city, and ai West
New York, on the New Jersey shore. So
far as New '. irk is concerned, it is
suitp<l to serve the needs of traffic of all
kinds :imi from all parrs of the city at
i«-:ist a> well as any other and perhaps
on the whole better than any other.
pleasure traffic especially in automo
biles^ from the chief residential and hotel
tv:ri'>:i of Manhattau Island could not
be better served. The bridge would not
be too remote from the commercial dis
tricts, and it would be in close enough
c-..]mnumVation with the great railroad
centres on tbi c island. On the New
Jersey si<]<» ii would laud in ti »*«*giCLi

That there Is a demand for a bridge
across the river is unquestionable. ; ;

Bui the i pry fact that the railroads arc

There are. however, two conatdera
ti'»ns which make the prompt construc

VIH seem to many decidedly ro^e tinted.
LABOR IV/) REGULATIOS.
The indignation with which Attorney
(General Wi<-kersliuin condemned the. re
duction of glass •workers' wages by com
panies participating in the trust recently
condemned by the courts probably
springs from a ■epic of how effective
a weapon wage increases and "wage iv
ductions may be made by the big cor
porations hi combating government
regulation. In the ense of the "Window
Glass Trust it appears thai In the course
of its brief history it raised wages .'!<>
per cent. Since its dissolution wages
have been reduced, to the old scale, or, it
may be, lower; the facts are not per
fectly clear. Now, perhaps the original
advance was a tardy act of justice and
the reduction an economic necessity.
Some such claim is made. But what an
argument for the beneficence of trusts
it all is in the workers* minds' The trust
is formed and prospers and pay advances
handsomely- The government interfere-;
and down go wages to tho old level or
lower.
Lar^r* 1 employers of labor have not
been slovr to see the advantage of ar
raying their employes on their side in
controversies with th" government car
rying out regulative legislation. As an
example we have several times pointed
out the ftrikinc <-orannmHr of interest
established between the railroads and
their employes In the pending Inquiry
regarding the necessity and justice of
advanced freight rates. Is it not to be
expected that as regulation proceeds in
other lields, if It does, the rumen t
will encounter the same compact front
of labor and capital? If there la to be a
drawing together of the two from the
r-erception of a certain greater mutual
ity of Interests under present or future
conditions, what becomes of all the in
teresting political and social philosophies
built upon opposition between the in
terests of the classes?
YELLOW PERIL FANCIES.
Every little while somebody starts or
tries to start a Japanese war scare. We
are told that Japan will surely attack
us before the Panama Canal is com
pleted. Just so we were told that Japan
was certain to attack us while our flo -t
was absent on its cruise around, the
world. It is pointed out that we have
no navy in the Pacific able to cope with
Japan's, that we have no standing army
worthy of the name. and that therefore
Japan could land a few hundred
thousand men In California at any time
in spite of us. All of which is theoreti
cally plausible enough. Somebody once
demonstrated mathematical v that Jules
Verne's scheme of shooting a cannon pro
jectile to the moon was theoretically
qnite practicable, and that if only the
plans described by him were executes
the result would be what his fancy pict
ured. But nobody lias yet been shot
i.. the moon.
Two factors in the ease seem to be
ignored by the vaticinators of woe. One
is that of motive, or absence of it. We
have not yet heard any convincing reason
given why Japan should go to war with
the United States. The idea of military
and naval conquest would of course be
too fantastic to he cherished outside of
Bedlam. Even if it were possible, it
would be bo much easier to colonize
other lauds lying much nearer home.
And to provoke a war which It was
from the beginning realized could not
end in conquest, but must end in defeat
for the aggressor, would be an act of
such folly as- it would be insulting to
ascribe to any Japanese statesman.
The other factor is that of communi
cations. A German military genius once
remarked that he had prepared a dozen
perfectly practicable plans for lauding
a German army in England, but had not
been able to devise a single plan for ever
getting it out again. Suppose a Japanese
army of two hundred thousand men were
landed in California, and ravaged that
state What would eventually become
of it? Could Japan permanently main
tain unbroken communication across the
Pacific? The notion is preposterous.
We all remember well the time and labor
which it required for Japan to make
secure her lines of communication across
the narrow seas which separate her fro,-:
Corea and Manchuria. What would it
W to guard lie ship lanes across ■'■
thousand miles of "•' Pacific Ocean: If
people would consider such elementary
principles as these they would taik less
glibly about a Japanese descent; upon
America.
It is not a hureh judgment but the
simple statement of a fact to say thai

Progressive Republicans arc well
pleased to have Colonel "Abe" / Gruber
put forward as the spokesman and
leader of the "old puard."
There will be much sympathy with the
opposition to the use of Mount Me

which will be entirely compatible with a
iarse degTec of sympathy with the cam
paign against tuberculosis. The estab
lishment of such fanatorlums iK to be
commended arid encouraged, by all
-„ .an. but there is no excuse for put
ting them into places which aro already
practically appropriated to oth^r uses.
There arc plenty of places Ideally suited
to the purpose which are available with
out violating sentiment or wounding
susceptibilities.

The project of tinkering th" Gregorian

Dr. Wilder "s Name for Some Smokers.
- . the Kditor of The Tribune.
Sir: fur forty years I have preserved
published notes as to smokers' disregard
of the rights of non-smokers and recorded
such examples an came under ny personal
observation: Alike surprising are their
number and the social standing of the of
fenders
Smoking is either a luxury " ■ medi
cine. A refined person takes his remedies
in private; a courteous person will pot en
joy himself with discomfort to others.
if there be any selfishness in a smoker's
nature it is pretty sure to manifest itself
by indulgence without regard to the rights
or mforl of others. There arc selfish
persons who do not smoke, and there are
smokers who avoid causing annoyance.
In other words, there are human hogs who
,-., not smoke, and f=moke>-« who are not
bogs. Those who art both may be con
cisely designated as smogs.
Thirty ears ago I predicted that public
expectoration would be forbidden by law;
a like prediction is now made as to public
smoking. Especially should II be prohib
ited In all public offices. city, county,
fctate and national, including the lobbies of
postoSices imd custom houses, and places
for voting and registration.
The discontinuance of the now almost
universal custom of smoking at banquets
and other social functions cannot bo ex
pected until the self-imposed haMt Is gen
erally recognized as needless, costly and
more or less deleterious. Meantime non-
Bmokers must choose between non-attend
ance and mephltics.

IN FULL ACCORD.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos of your splendid comment
relative to the unjustifiable- protest of V.. i.
Feeney, which you rightly determine is ill
advised, kindly r^nnit me to concur with
you in your most excellent analysis of the
subject.
In the present era, with the higher civili
zation and humanitarian progressiveness,
the creed of a person Fhould absolutely not
be considered when it is conducive to di
minishing the calibre of an individual in
tho eyes of a community. This Republic,
in order to maintain Its exalted position
and pood government must be conduct
by good men. regardless of their religious
faith. Unjust discrimication retards unifi
cation of society; it creates prejudice and
enmity.
You deserve. the most profound com
mendation of broad-minded people for your
Just views upon this matter.

DIVERGENT VIEWS ON WAR TALK.
To the Editor of Th* Tribune.
Sir: Many of your readers were, doubt
less, surprised that -• round and judicious
a paper as The Tribune should give a
prominent column t»,- the fulniinations of
Captain Rosen on prospects of war with
Japan. It is all twaddle and calculated
only to inflame the minds of the ignorant.
Fortunately, however, not many of these
read The Tribune.
What basis exists for such an alarm?
Every missionary, traveller and merchant
acquainted with the Japanese people gives
testimony to the contrary. With all evi
dence of kindliness of feeling, of even grati
tude toward the United States, and with
the fact or an immense debt from the Rus
sian war which Japan cannot throw ofF in
a day, wo shall not be scared by "a mili
tary enthusiast," whose spirit by a foreitrn
sojourn has become more German than
American.
Ah for a big arm; to fight two hundred
thousand Imaginary Japanese on our Pa
cific Coast, h compulsory military service
i> r three years for every young man. etc,
well, we arr- a peaceful nation, regulating
our affaire on the principles of Justice, and
our prospects of unbroken peace with uV
mankind are many times those of war.

interview. I agTee with him in the predic
tion thai we are likely to be dragged into
a war with Japan. When he warns us to
strengthen our army, I believe him to be
most patriotic.
fie also says that compulsory militaxy

1 n ■■■ approve.
Is he ignorant of the fact that this com
pulsory military service has caused many
Europeans to leave their native land and
emigrate to America, with the thought m
their minds that they would here enjoy
personal liberty? The wonderful increase
In our population is attributed largely to
this very fact.
A nation with bo great a. population as
ours need not concern itself about raisins
an army in time of war. Volunteers at

"To-day," declare the lecturer. "our dress

the - me shirt and bloosi thai our women

while the aWrtwaiaas were pinned together
