8Ai to the Liquor Interests! Hie
Crime of 1015 and of "The Sun."
We seem to remember personally,
and never can we cease to revereuce,
the potent, gruve and reverend sei
gnior and Hay State Senator, an orna
ment of Puddle Dock and the pilot of
the unnumbered fathoms of ltllllngtou
Sea, whose name Is subscribed to this
letter which his Indignation mukM
delightful :
"To thb Eui-roa or Tim Sun Sir: I
have been an appreciative reader of
Tub Sun for many years. Noting an
editorial on the prohibition question
some weeks ago tn which you asked, in
substance, what was to become of the
vut amount of capital engaged In the
liquor business and of those It employed,
Aa. If prohibition prevailed I sent the
paper to my friend Dr. J. H. Crooker
of Boston, a scholarly student of this
bis; aubject, believing he could and would
answer your Inquiry and thus arouse a
discussion of this point which would be
of general Interest and value. A letter
Just received from him tells me he did
so at once In a dignified and courteous
way, but no attention waa paid to his
communication. This Is so unlike Tub
Sun that I marvel at It, for Dr. Crookib
Is a man of high standing, an author of
note, whose communications any news
paper In Boston would welcome, and
who therefore deserves better treatment,
doubly so since your edltorl.il Invlte'l
tho answer he respectfully sent you.
"It Is difficult for me to associate The
Sun with moral cowardice, and so I do
not want to share his belief that you
are muzzled by your ndvertlHers, but
there) seems no explanation or excuse
for not returning his communication,
when stamps were enclosed for that pur
pose In a tecond letter, If you declined
to give it place In your columns. I en
close the letter he sent me, and I am
writing to express surprise at your treat
men of Dr. Crooked und your evident
disregard of courtesy and fairness. Re
spectfully. William S. Kill
"Plymouth, Mass., June 24."
If It were so, It were a grievous
fault ; and grievously The Sun should
answer It. Hut first let us share with
our readers the happlnet of this ad
monition and reproof from ono of the
moat original and Inventive of tlm
Yankee dry statisticians:
"Dbar Senator Kile: "At onco on
receiving The Sun clipping (which you
kindly sent me and for which 1 glvo
you warmest thanks), I wrote and sent
to the editor, as you suggested, a short,
clear, courteous letter, pointing out
some of the fallacies of the editorial. I
enclosed a MHmped addressed envelope)
with 10 cents In stamp for tho lfsun of
The Sun In which my letter might bo
printed.
"After ten days I wrote him again
requesting that he return my letter If
he could no use it, enclosing as before
stumped addressed envelope. No word
In reply, and none likely to come now,
"This Incident Is llko many others In
my experience for over ten ears along
thla line. The secular papers are muz
zled by the advertisements accepted
from the liquor trade on condition that
temperance matter be excluded. This
editors hnvo confessed to ma and my
friends. Public pressure ought to be
brought to bear upon the press to put
an end to this Iniquity, Trie people will
some day demand In no uncertain terms
and tones that ' the abject slavery to
drink shall ceuse. All good wishes.
"Yours,
"J. 11. Crooker.

Mr. Lansing's, Promotion.
The country will Und tho appoint
ment of the Hon. Koiikrt Lanhi.no hs
Secretary of State satisfactory for
more reasons than one. It is promo
tion on merit and for work indus
triously, efficiently and falLbfully
done. Secretary Hryan's Inexperi
ence was the opportunity of the suc
cessor of John Hassett Moobb to
make himself useful and indispensa
ble. Mr. Imnsino was perhaps no:
as learned In the theory of Interna
tional law as Hie retiring Counsellor
to the State Department, but Mr.
I.ANS1NO was a practical Jurist, hav
ing often been retained by the Gov
ernment In claims, boundary ami ar
bitration cases. Ho was the adviser
and nsslstant that Mr. Hrtan sorely
needed.
It may now lie recalled that when
the Lansing appointment was before
the Senate Committee on Foreign He
lations Secretary Hbtak appeared in
person and asked for a favorable re
port upon It. In his more than twelve
montha of service aa Counsellor Mr.
La n si no took upon his shoulders, 'with
Secretary Bryan' complacent and
grateful approval, many of the bur
dens of the head of the Department,
often meeting the President for con
sultation and discussing with him tho
wording of Important Stare papers.
Mr. Lansing did a good deal of the
work of t,he Department which Mr.
Hryan was temperamentally unfitted
to attend to.
The Washington correspondents got
into the habit of calling Kobert Lan
hino tho de facto Secretary of State,
and it was nn apt description of him.
No man was ever worthier of promo
tion. In making possible the eleva
tion of his able assistant Mr. Hbtan,
It should be ndmltted, rendered the
country a great nervice. It knows
that the business of the State Depart
ment is now in competent hands, and
credit will be given to Mr. Wilson for
renistlng tho temptation to strengthen
himself politically by making a strictly
party appointment. From our point
of view Mr. Wilson has strengthened
himself politically by this appoint
ment for merit and fltnoss alone.
The tarkawsnna Coal Decision.
Not often does judlciul interpreta
tion make the law look bo much like
common sense ns in the case which
the Supreme Court decided tho other
day against the Iickawanna Hull road
and the Lackawanna coal companies.
In holding that the contract between
these companies violated tho so-called
commodities clause of the Hepburn
act of HKKl ameudlng tho interstate
eoiumereo luw, the court said in judi
cial language, m that there could be
mi misunderstanding, that the uct of
ISiOH meant exactly -what it said in
Its eiTort to prohibit a common car
rier from engaging In competition
with the shippers or commodities over
Its lilies.
It has taken eight years to got a Ju
dicial restatement of the commodities)
clause which apparently removes tho
last veetlgn of doubt as to its Inten
tion. That there should he any de
siru'tlM consequences of the decision
lit the Lackawanna case, either for
the principal Interests In the anthra
cite Industry or for coal consumers, Is
preposterous. No matter with what
apprehension tbo outcome of litiga
tion Involving projierty rights has
occasionally been intended In the
Supreme Court, It has always been
found that the court's rulings have
had n constructive result. That It
will be so In regard to the anthracite
trade there Is no reason to doubt.
Nature has conferred a monopoly
of nuthraclte on the little Pennsyl
vania valley In which what Ih com
mercially known as anthracite Is
1 found. For years past It has been
, charged against half a dozen railroads
1 which tnp the anthracite Held that
i Ihe.v have practically "cornered" tills
natural monopoly through a concen
I (rated control of the mining, trans
portation ami sale of the coal, How
, the Iicl;ivaini;i decision will affect
I the Heading, the I.ehlgh Valley and
'other iiuihniclte railroad Interests Is
conjectural. As between all the an
thrnclle railroads there are differ
I ences of organization, different char
j ler conditions and the like, but (lie Im
plication of the Ltii'knwauna decision
wou'd -s'lii to be that there cannot,
in Hie case of any of these railroads,
remain any mdlled control of die
three principal processes of produc-
tlon, transportation and sale of an
thracite. Whether there baa been any monop
oly value in tlm no-called nuthraclte
trust would probably bo dlfllctilt to
prove. Such things ri-c usually ex
aggerated by iwllticrtl agitators, but
if there has been any monopoly vulue
It is presumably on Its way to elimi
nation. For the rest It Is not open
to question that every real property
value which has been acquired in thu
development of tho anthracite indus
try will be preserved. Meanwhile the
(hidings In the Lackawanna case
should go far to accomplish one de
sirable good. They will heal the sore
spot on tho body politic which hits
been denoted by years of demagogic
uproar over the anthracite monopoly.
Lloyd George to the Front.
The night Hon. David Lloyo
Ukohok Is tho man of the hour In
Kuglnud. Karl Kitchen kh has pro
duced 3,000,000 men, put them In
uniform and drilled them; his work
Is done. The Minister of Munitions
must supply these volunteers with
the death dealing tools of war that
are most effective, or the cause of
the Allies is lost. In his groat speech
In tho House of Commons on
Wednesday Mr. Lloyd Oeoroic con
cealed nothing of the necessity of
England. Ho threw bis curds on the
table for tho whole world, including
the enemy, to .see. Knowing the ugly
truth, England must bend all hor en
ergies to meet the emergency or be
beaten In the game of war. And no
time Is to be lost, not a day, not an
hour; no helpful Industry, no guild,
no able bodied nrtLsan can hold back
If success la to be assured.
"The Allies," Bald Mr. Lloyd (Seoboic.
"have superiority in men, both in
numbers and quality." Hut unless
they can match the enemy In artil
lery and explosives the disparity is
heavily against the Allies and has
been from the first ability In the
high commands and the common sol
diers' valor will avail little. The
munitions bill provides for the mobil
ization of all tho inen In England
who can contribute to the making of
war materials If the labor unions
cannot furnish tho men in seven
days, and makes Interference with
the work by employers or artisans
Impossible. In effect Government
will become the employer and It will
tolerate neither strikes nor lockouts.
It will assume the responsibility of
seeing that the men are well paid
and well treated. The system is not
British, but ths caao la one of life
or a living death for the empire. If
Ilritona never will bo slaves now is
the time to prove they mean it. even
If labor hns to submit to conscrip
tion. Hotter Lloyd O to roe an task
master Implacable than the heel of
the conqueror.
Wo have said fltat tlm Minister of
Munitions Is the roan of the hour In
England and must finish tho work
that Kitcueneb began. Mr. Lloyd
Geobqe has stepped Into the breach
and assumed personal responsibility
for the supply of all the wnr material
needed. He admits no partnership
with Kitchener In tho business and
announces his independence of the
War Office. Mr. Lloyd Oeoboe hns
probably more influence with the
worklngmen of England than any
other man in public life, and no one
In public life stands higher In their
esteem. Ho can get more out of
them than a hundred Kitcheners. A
Minister of Munitions wns desperately
needed to supplement tire military
work of tho War Office, and the little
Welsh radical, n veritable ltvo wire
of transmissible energy, was the Ideal
man for the place. So for the pres
ent and until the yawning void of
deficiency is filled Lloyd Oeoboe will
ho a bigger man than Kitchener, In
point of fact the industrial dictator
of Knglnnd.

Why We Celebrate the Fourth.
To the Kditor or The Sun Sir; This
morning's letter from Clare WooUon
Henedlct indicates n misapprehension of
fact far too common tn this country.
Thoughtful people do not celebrate
the Fourth of July ns the anniversary
of an Indictment against Oreat lirltuln,
but becnuse on that day certain prin
ciples were proposed as the foundation
of government. In connection with our
celebration of the national birthday
hatred of England went out of stylo
with the perfervld oratory that Macau
lay found so amusing.
"If one stops to think of It," Amer
ican opinion of England has changed
solely because the Ideals of Asqulth and
Lloyd George offer a striking contrast
to those of Lord North and Lord Suf
folk. The more cordially we sympa
thize with the England of to-day, tha
moro Joyously must we enter Into cele
brarlon of the Fourth of July.

NAPOLEON AND WILHELM.
An Assertion That There Is No Par
allel Ilclneen Their Alms,
To the Editor ok Tit h Sun -Sir: When
I was n hoy n farmer undo of mine had
stored away In his garret a tot of bound
volumes of ifururr's Slonthlv, contain
ing' Abbott's "History of Napoleon Ho
napartc." These constituted my first
"heavy reading. From these volumes
I early became Imbued with tho Idea
that Napoleon with his citizen armies
shook the thiones of Europe, destroyed
the superstition of divine right as ap
plied to kingship, and not merely by
his own career but through the Marshals
knocked into a cucked hat tha similar
idea that only the noble born were fit to
tin loaders of men
I have been much disappointed, not
to say amazed, at the Inadequacy of
treatment of the Napoleonic wars and
the Krench devolution In recent articles
and editorial articles discussing the an
niversary of the battle of Waterloo.
From the outbreak of the European
conflict parallels have been drawn of
France's attempt at universal domina
tion under Najwleon and Germany's
present attempt at world supremacy
under Kaiser Wllhclm.
There Is no such parallel. The Na
poleonic wara were between the mon
itrchs of Europe and the people of
France; between the monarchical, the
aristocratic theory of government, and
the democratic theory of the right of a
people to choose Its own form of gov
ernment. With the possible exception of
the r reach Emperors Invasion of ltus
sla, the monarch were always the ag
gressors. The violators of treaties were
the various kings of Europe, mainly In
stigated and financed by England. Na
poleon constantly sought peace, but
peace waa as constantly denied him.
England Is on the right side, tn my
opinion, In the present conflict, but was
on tho wrong side when seeking to de
stroy Napoleon, because she was seek
ing to restore the liourbons to uie
throne of France against the wishes of
tho French nation as a whole.

To the Editor orTiii Sun Sir: From
out the reminiscent depths stirred up
by the Interesting flshball discussion
there, come to the surface soma other
lyric fragments long lost In tho surge
of time which It might rejoice members
of tho Ancient and Honorable Order of
Fogies to have once mora pieced to
gether. One of these Is the pathetic
ballad about one Hamlet, Prince of
Denmark. Here la tha beginning of the
ditty aa I recall It:
A haro'a fate I atng.
Hta atory ahall my pan mark.
Yet ha waa not a king,
Hut Hamlet, Prlnca of Denmark,
And then follow some stirring stanzas
about the Prince's mother. She became
nmbltlous and "the crown she had set
eyes on" with all the painful particu
lars of how she conspired agalnst'hls
Majesty, her august husband, culminat
ing her conspiracy by "stuffing ht earn

The delicious Irony In the one calling

sometimes entice thee, you are forgiven.
Hut you need no Indorsement from me.
I only wanted you to know of my en
joyment. Oh ! mora than thts, I have an Im

found for tha Washington Market, un
dergoing repairs since my memory falls

The windows are being used by the

Hut more Important than all this, pub
lic announcement Is made by several

Autonomy of tha Singers flnb.
To the Editor or The Hun Air; In
Tub Son recently a Greenwich cor
respondent. In describing an entertain
ment given by Commodore Henedlct to
the Mendelssohn Glea L'lub and thu
Singers Club, stated that thu two
clubs had been marged Into one under
the name of the Mendelssohn Glco Club,
As this statement was an Iniidvertenco
on the part 'of your correspondent and
has mused some confusion I shall b
grateful If you will kindly correct it,
The Singers Club, of which I have tho
honor to be president. Is an entirely
separate and distinct organization, with
G. Waring Slohblns conductor and with
Commodore Henedlct iib an honorary
member of both clubs. The relation be
tween the two clubs has always been of
the most friendly character, and on the
occnslun In question the two clubs were
entertained by Coinmodoro Henedlct on
hW yacht and at Indian Harlsir and
sang together. This probably gave rise
to the rumor of conholldatlon, which I
desire to correct.

THE VARIOUS VIEWS OF
"NEUTRALITY."
A (leorglu Woman Who Thinks There

To tub Editor or Tub Bun Sir; I
protest Hgalnst the perfectly characteris
tic nntl-German letter signed "Balti
more" in The sun of June 15.
Exactly why the accusation of being
"a rich German woman." "probably born
In America," should place one beyond
the pale and discredit one's efforts to
hold our beloved country to an honor
able neutrality In this tragic era Is on
of the mjstvrlei of pro-Ally mental proc

I do not know who this rich German

the happiness and honor of my country,
and for that reason upon receiving a

I should like to ask "Baltimore"

BLUE, WHITE AND ORANGE.
How Forty-second Street Anticipated
the City Flag.
To tub Editor or The Sun air: On
October 31, 1914, I designed a trading
flag for our works, colors, a field of
blue, showing letters of white, framing
of orange. This flag was hung on a
staff tipped with a glided dove. On
December 3 the buildings were photo
graphed, with the Hag as a part or the
picture.
On June 10. 1915, I ordered a new
flag for the Klag Day celebration of
June 14. Our tl.igm.ikcr reported tlm
price of the necessary colors moro than
doubled and stated that there was an
actual objection made to his purchase of
thla particular combination because
these colors belonged to the olty of New
York,
Aware that there was to ba an aitop.
Hon of the now olllclal city Hag on
June 24, I have consulted the authorized
book Issued on June 19 and recording
tho preliminary proceedings. In it I
find that the report of the art commis
sion associates, recommending the color
combination, wan made undur tho date
of January 9, 1915: that tho urt com
mission accepted and indorsed the rc
mrr on February S , that tho special
committee appointed by tho art com
mission associates appeared before n
committee of the Hoard of Aldermen on
March 22 to explain the repoit uf the
committee; that on tho following day
the Commit ten on Hules reported favor
ably to the Hoard of Aldermen, with the
result that the ordinance adopting the
Hag wns attlrmed. That on April 27 an
amendment to the original ordinance
was reportel by tho Committee on Hules
and that the ordinance aa amended was
adopted by the Hoard of Aldermen,
That on May 1 the Mayor approved tho
ordinance.
This statement Is made to obviate tho
possibility of a suggestion that I may

Although Mr. Hatts did not specify

the explanation of the disappearance
of a considerable part of tha New Ha

Hoston to recover $3,000,000 from the
Hlllard Company and several individ

the examination. They Included C. E.
Denny, V. J. Moore, if. 11. Sobel. E. it.
Klncatd, J. C. Williams and J. 11. lirady.
All said that Nelson had helped them
the night before tho examination by
reading certain sentences, with trar.a
latlona, and giving thum dictation, lit
had told them, all said, that thiy would
probably not receive this matter on ex
amination but that It would help them.
The Government holds that Nelson used
the advance copy of the examination
paper In coaching the midshipmen. Tha
examination was changed, however.
With the exception of Denny, the m'd
hlpmen said that there was no eecrecy
about Nclson'e) actions. Denny said that
Nelson told him not to show the copy
he mado to any one.
