least, the male soldier's courage.
Friends admlro and generous foes
respect the wit, isklll and high uu-,-leldlng
cottrago with which the
women have conducted their long,
tiresome preliminary campaign. Of
strong words there havo been many;
of hard words few. And so much

The Sun this morning presents the
results of a careful canvass, with the
fciutillcr cities as bases for testing the
eeutlmcnt In rural districts. It reveals
great activity on tho part of the sur
fraglsts, thorough organization nnd
zealous, face to faco campaigning.
Tho "antls" are less eagerly deter
mined, to Judge by surf 11 co manifes
tations; but lKjsltlvo measurement of
the forces Is so inadequate as still to
Icavo reason for holding the election.
It will bo an "off year" voto, and
many men will refrain from casting
a ballot through willingness to let
the rest decide: an indlffercnco that
the ladles have not neglected to U6e
is an argument, available and nou
combatable so long as the voting con
science of their own sex remains un
tested In experience! here.
Tho district reports printed in The
Bu.v to-day aro as nearly final, within
their scope, as anything can be until,
on tho third day of next November,
tho men's voto on the question "Shall
women voteV Is counted.
riio News That Comes Over tho Wire.
Tho announcement made by Vice
President Adajih of the l'o.tal Tele
granh Cablo Company of a &0 per
cent, reduction In thu company's
charges to ncwspaiiers for "leased
wlro'1 mtvIco Is news of the widest
public Import. While It is the man
agers of newspapers that will welcome
this innovation most heartily, because
It affects them most directly, It Is
the readers of these newspapers who
will reap thu ultimate benetiU
liven tho great metropolitan news
papers may, with cheaper rates pre
vailing, find It worth while to give
more than thu now accustomed space
to telegraphic news. Hut to thoc
papers which are published In cities
of from KM'uo to L'ou.wo population
the change presents piortunlty for
expansion as pleasing to tho gather
and sellers of news as to their
customers, who may now recelvo for
the morning cent or two a still inoro
-"fljjileiu report of happenings the
country over than the publishers,
howewr willing, are now able to give.
As It is, we should like to know what
dealer In any u-efttl commodity gives
"ni much fur the money" as do thu
maker nf newspapers.
The full Import of the reduction In
expense of night news service and
the corresponding Increase of pffec
titeness In news gathering for tho
public may bu statistically approxi
mated: Many morning newspapers
which have hitherto been able to take,
ay, only l.doij to n.iHit) words by wlro
tit telephone may now take a full
night service over a "leased wire" of
lii.OOO to iri.fioo words. That Is to
tay, the telegraph edlter's powers or
selection rather than of ie entire
tuny ho increased by several hundred
lier cunt, And consultation of the
consul abstract In the almanacs or
year books will show that It Is a very
considerable portion of the country
population that lives In cities of 10,
000 to 200,000.
Freedom of speech and of tho press
Is a bulwark ot our American liber
ties, and anything that Increases the
power of the press for the accuinu
latlon and discrimination of the new
Is n contribution to the perfect union
and greater happiness of our diverse
nnd wldes-pread population.
Now the Munition. Octopus.
In a Washington news telegram
there opiienrs this Interesting hit of
Information:
"Inconspicuous rnvoyn of the ntl
trust faction throughout tha country
are) pounding out very Senator nd
Oonrfi!inan."
The particular truit evoking all
this activity Is the "munitions trust,
There Isn't any munitions trust, but
that Is an Irrelevant detail with no
earthly claim to consideration sav
that It Is n mere fact, and an Imper
fluent and offensive fact at that.
Whether it exists or not, the tnutil
tlous trust Is to be smitten hip and
thigh in the next session of Con
gross. If It does not exist It will be
yanked Into existence In short order
nnd made to stand up and take what
Is coming to It. We are to hnv
Government ownership of nil muni
Hons plants as a side line to Gov
ernment ownership of everything
afloat on the high seas that dares fly
the American flag. And how are you
to get Government ownership savo
over the mangled remains of a slnugh
tered octopus? So the munitions
trust has got to exist. The Govern
incut owncrshlppers need It In thel
business.
No sooner will the Speaker's gavel
fall," continues the same Wasblugton
news despatch as It appears In the
Milwaukee Kcaflncl, "than resolutions
will bo dropped in the basket which
will precipitate a last ditch flgbt for
Government ownership and manufac
ture of all munitions."
And an unnamed but "powerful
Senator, high In the ranks of those
controlling expenditures of army and
navy appropriations," Is quoted as say.
lng over his own signature: "I cer
tainly will support nnd vote for n la
creating Government monopoly of all
war supplies, equipments, nmtnunl
tlon, armor plate and tho like."
All highly Interesting from a Ta-
rlety of viewpoints but chiefly per
haps as a sidelight on the magnitude
of the coming Congressional battle
over raising us nbove the Chinese
standard of war preparedness. And
Incidentally the "Inconspicuous en
voys" who are sounding out Senators
and Congressmen are lucky In being
anti and not pro trust In their activi
ties. Were they pro trusters not nn
envoy among them would be Innocent
of flagrant lobbying.
The Russians as a Diplomat Saw
Them.
Americans know less of Russia than
of any other European country. Its
vastness, the remoteness of great sec
tions from the railroads, the puzrllng
variety of races and tho restrictions
that Russia herself places upon travel
are to a great extent responsible for
this lack of familiarity.
Moreover, much that we have ac
cepted regarding the country Is false,
according to tho late Cubtis Guild,
American Ambassador to Russia from
1011 to 1013. Our ears have been
tilled with half truths or mlsrepresen
tatlons until we have come to believe,
ho wrote for the VoufV Companion,
"The most dreadful things of the one
great nation of Europe that has In
variably proved herself a loyal friend
of the United States."
Mr. Guild, writing from his cx-
icrIenco as our representative In the
country, throws some interesting side
lights In this article, that has Just
oeen ptioiistied, upon tho Russian vco
pie. He believed Russia the least
belUcone nation in Kurope. The Rus
sian is uot only slow to anger but
ho is disposed to bo kind and hos
pltable to all. His chief weakness li
overindulgence In alcohol ; but even In
his cups he Is not quarrelsome. No
one can be long in Russia without
noticing the kindness of tho people
to animals. Mr. (Juan saw a butler,
"forgetting his thin silk stockings and
pumps." dash out in tho snow when
tho mercury was far below zero to
rescue a starving cat. His name for
the most terrlblo animal In Europe,
the bear, shows the sympathetic atti
tude of the Russian toward animals:
"Ha thinks of tha bear in a friendly.
rathr Jocular, way, and call, him 'mlad
vied,' the fellow who likes honey. As
a matter of fact, however, the peaaants
teldom use that word. They call the
hear 'mlshka,' which means Little Mi
chael or Mickt."
Mr. Guild has little patience with
thu stories of "brutal Cossacks, bran
dishing fearful knouts and hurllug
themselves like half drunken savuges
uitou crowds of unoffendlug patriots."
Many of the stories of tho horrors of
Russian dungeons and exiles In Si
beria are pictures either of conditions
that existed many years ago or els
are pure Inventions. "Mfe as an exile
in Siberia Is to be preferred to life as
a convict within tho gloomy walls of
most prisons,"
Ho Investigated a case of a man of
science of great ability who hud been
seized on account of his political opin
ions and had been exiled to Siberia.
The man hud attempted the llfo of
tho Empress, nnd while ho had been
sent to Siberia he was comfortably
housed and was permitted to keep
his books nnd Instruments.
Tho Russian Is a natural musician
and a lover of nrt. Almost every
peasant has his aocordeon or bala
laika, on which he can accompany
himself In the traditional folk acmg.
The peoplo In the winter pursue all
sorts of artistic industries, such as
wood carvJng and laco making, and
achieve sonio remarkablo results:
"There are soma things of courae In
Ilusilan life to crltlclae. In what coun
try la that not tha case? In the national
character of the Ittuslans tha faults aro
certainly ferter than the traits that air
charming and admirable."
The expression of an opinion re
gardlng a people who are occupying
to-day so much of the world's atten
tion by a man who had such good op
portunities to measure them as Mr.
Guild had Is well worthy of respect
ful consideration.
An Attack From a New Angle.
A surprise attack on the Initiative
and referendum cult from a new
augle was One of the features of tho
recent meeting of the Wisconsin State
liar Association. Mr. Addison O. Har
ris of Indianapolis led the assault.
Ho advanced the sweeping statement
that In the Stares of Minnesota, Wis
consin, Illinois, Indiana and Mich!
gau tho initiative and referendum
cannot be legally adopted for the rea
son that so doing would be In flat
coutraventlon of Provision Four of
the Ordinance of 1784 under which
tho Northwest Territory, comprising
tho present lands of tho States named
wus couveyed by Virginia to tho
United Status.
This original "Ordinance of the
Northwestern Territory," in the hand
writing of Thomas Jftfehson him
self, Is still in the archives of the
State Department In Washington and
Is a plan of temporary government
for tho territory ceded ns drawn up
uy a commltteo of three, Mr. Jtirrot
son of Virginia. Mr. Cuasc of Man-
land and Mr. Howell of Rhode Isl
nd. Having fulfilled proscribed con
dltlons the people of the Territories
Into which the vast notlnvMtvm
tract was divided are empowered
by this document to establish gov
ernments of their own. provided cer
tain fundamental eondUlous are niot.
Tho fourth tu the list of these con
dltlons Is that tho governments "shull
oe ju repuuiicau lorm. Tins, ac
cording to Mr. Harris, bars the inl
tlstlve and the referendum, for they
mply legislation directly by tho pvo
pie, which Is democracy puru nnd
simple In contradistinction to that lu
vestiture of authority In rulers elect
ed periodically by the people, which 1
the republican form of government
made Imperative by tho Ordinance of
tha Northwestern Territory on all
States created under its authority.
Of the States thus Involved in ex
elusion from the great lnltlatlve-ref.
erendum bulwark agalust plutocratic
machinations, only Wisconsin has
manifested any disposition to embark
n that line of Progressive adventure,
And even In Wisconsin the people last
year voted down by a largo majority
an Initiative and referendum amend
ment to the State Constitution, Thus
the curious point rot law raised by
Sir. Harris Is not likely to be Illumi
nated for the time being at least by a
court discussion or decision, which Is
rather a regrettable circumstance. It
would bo undeniably Interesting to
ave an authoritative determination
of the real Indebtedness of the im
portnnt group of States concerned to
this venerably Jeffersonlan paper.
When It Is borne in mind that tin
der that same paper what Is now
Michigan came within an aco of being
called "Chersonesus" and what Is now
part of Ohio was under sentence to
bo branded "Metropotamla," a pro
vision forestalling initiative and ref
erendum sprees might bo regarded as
more or less satisfactory plea In
mitigation of Judgment on the docu
taent as a whole.
Money Measures Conscience.
Tho city's consclenco fund of $l0
for tho year was Increased by tho ad
dltlon of two flvo dollar bills doslg
nated in an unsigned letter for that
purpose. A few days before a letter
received by the Treasury Department
t Washington nnd postmarked New
York contained $10,000 and tho state
ment that the sender had paid double
to tho United States the amount he
stole "and still his eousdenco Is not
satlsfled." One of tho hardest work
ers these hot days Is Conscience, "cow-
rd," thing of "a thousand tongues,
Hpark of celestial fire," according to
tho person describing It.
There never seemed to be any ono
ho could satisfactorily detlno con-
sclenco or analyze its mental or moral
qualities. Tho courts, however, recog
nized It a short tlmo ago when they
held valid the bequest of $3,000 to the
'conscience fund" by Rurus Clakk of
Colorado, who wished to make amends
for tho guilty knowledge of a fraud
fifty years before. To those who havo
not contributed It muy bo news that
the Government consclenco fund is
said to contain inoro than $500,000
nd that one of the contributions was
s much as $20,000 in gold, which was
sent anonymously to the United States
Consulate In Iondon. and another
as $18,000, sent to tho Collector of
Customs of this city.
Resides the sum of $10,000 referred
o above and $3,700 sent from a small
Isconsln town there are no recent
rciwrts of largo contributions. Rut
ny one who reads will boo that con-
aclenco Is an exacting taskmaster
heso days. There is, perhaps, not so
much apparent activity "Down East,"
but rest assured tho Now England
conscience Is at Its work; it cannot
help It, It Is always busy.
A Cincinnati railroad man received
30 cents In payment for stolon tranv
portnt'lon, tho Pennsylvania State
reasurer received 50 cents and not ti
ord of explanation, and a Ixnilslnun
firm got a dollar in a letter from i
oman who said that In a busUiosa
transaction she bad "that much tho
best of the deal." An Ohio man sent
25 cents for a peck of apples he stole
several years ago, a Kansas woman
said sho cheated a weighing machine
and sent a cent to enso her conscience.
An Atlantan received a check of $17
and a letter saying, "I have owed
It for a gaino cock I fitolo In 1873,'
and the postmaster of Atkln, Ark.,
opening his morning nmll read,
"Please nud enclosed $1 for one tur
key I killed of yonrs twenty-seven
years ago."
There could be produced hundreds
more of incidents to prove tho pres
ence of this great monitor. The causo
may bo tho heat, perhaps last winter's
revivals, or the war. Dut nevertheless,
conscience Is hard at work in every
place except where It !s most needed.
It has not'struck one of tho men who
are so recklessly voting away thu
money of our cities nnd State.
In Luxemburg.
Alio sunjoiiieu sentence contains
tho essonco of a news despatch from
Lurope priuted recently
"The arrival In Luxemburg of the first
conalgnmcnt of foodstuffs from Swltzer
land, to be supplied until the harvest
la roiped, cauied the greatest reiolclng
In tha a rand Duchy."
It cannot huvo escaped memory
that when the Germans entered Lux
emburg tho people of that lnttnltosl
mal Stato were congratulated by tho
advancing Teutons on tho sound
sense and excellent judgment they
hod displayed In offering no opposi
tion to the Kaiser's advance. They
were held up as notublo examples to
the obstinate Belgians; and the world
was Informed that the German Em
pire would recotniense the I.uxem
burglaus for any damage they might
suffer, guurd them In their property
and protect them as Its friends.
It Is true that by their course tho
people of the Grand Duchy escaped
some of tho horrors that were visited
on the llelglnns. Otherwise their
lands have been laid waste, their sub
stance consumed, their property de
stroyed. They live now on the char
ity they have been obliged to beg,
and their prayers have been an
swered, not by tho hosts that occu
pied their territory, but by Franco,
under the supervision of Swiss olll-
cers. The fair promises that were
made In August were unfulfilled
when the need arose. The beauties
of German occupation, so brilliantly
painted for tho education of tlio Bel
gians ten months ago, have turned
out to mean starvation for women
and children.
And yet there are persons who won
der why France achieves a sympathy
that Is not given to Germany I
In Honolulu recently a celebration
was held in which 3.000 Japanese
children marched In a parade, each
child carrying tha Stars and Stripes.
Tho organizer of. tho celebration, R.
PtiEnA, himself of Japanese birth, ald
that It was his wish "to Inspire In tha
Jnpaneso children of tho city nnd of
all tho Islands a new sentiment of
patriotism and lovo for the Stars and
Stripes. I believe this to be a thlnif
which Is In conformity .with tha spirit
of the future and a thine which must
be taught to our children."
Our beautiful little Island possession
Is evidently endeavoring to have tho
tlnir respected on tho Pacific. Good
luck to It, and success to Its efforts I
Tho stories that best show tho life
of tha soldier at tha front and that
best glva tho human side of tho war
are told by tho mn of tha ranks.
Private William O'Connor, of tho old
Canadian Second llnttallon. back home
In Toronto, speaking ot tho battle of
SI. Jullen. said:
"Flvo times w had to aton to flic
ourselves to snfety, anil It wna but poor
shelter at that. As -wo Iny there with

It need hardly ba udded that tho men
followed such a commander. In the
count after tho bnttln there wero only
166 of tho battalion remaining.
The retreat of tha Hon. OEORna Ij.
Record of New Jersey Into the ranks of
the Republican party Is nn unmistak
able sign of Progressive futility In
that State. Mr. Record has always

THE CITIZEN'S DUTY.
Plain Words on tho Perntclons Anti
Enlistment Campaign.
To tub Kditor or Tub Sun Sir; The
campaign against army enlistment and
all attempts to disparage tho place of
the armed -forces of tho United States in
tho economy of the nation should have
mora c&rofut attention than they have
attracted. They are pernicious: they
art a menace to the progress of tlio
country in peace and civilisation.
Many of the peace at any price advo
cates, oven fho best tntemtloned among
tnem, display a shocking lack of knowl
edge of American, history. Judging
from tholr words we see In them i
blind, innocent Icnornnce of human nn
turo. The Just must be ready, with
and for tiro, unjust, to lay down tholr
lives that righteousness may ultimately
prevail In the world.
It cannot be too often repeated: Eter
nal vigilance is the price of llbxrty.
Peace and prosperity should be precious
nnd dear to every hdnest heart Hut
peaco must be foundod udoii eternal
truth; the peaco of good and brave
men, tho peace of learlcseness.
That part of the nnu-enllstmnt cxm
palgn which la supported by the enor
mously endowed Carnegie Foundation,
working under various namea and dls
guises, should bo constantly counter,
acted and exposed.
Too many of the nald advocates
speaklnir and wrltlnir for the CJarneirle
Foundation are unnntrlotln men. Thov
love neither their own nor any other
country. They nave no Jove for .human
kind. To say tho least, they havo no
love for common folk. They aro out for
the douKh. They have the instincts of
the shyster lawyer, tho ouack doctor, the
uisnoncst advertising man. They nro
quack: they aro frauds: they nru
como on mei! they aro livnocrllen.
They arp liars. They would as llof na

It Is to our shame. It Is to the shame
or our nchools everywhere, but It la true,
most Americans are qult lunornnt of

ordinary school history Is hardly It Is
not sulllclent to gle an adequate Idea

nut we must endeavor to expose them
nevertheless because they tend to iet
up falsa, unapprrclatlvw and ungrateful

pledge can stand. To sign such a pledue
or to take any part In such a cause
Is a silly and anion trilling with the
crai. Kinuiy uti.i tolerant spirit of
our Government and Institutions.
In no other country would such a
campaign bo permitted. It Is to th

THE MERCHANT MARINE.
Americans Advised to Study Mr. Mar
Tin's liook on tha Subject,
To the ISditor or Tub sun Sir: In
view of the cruel manner In which the
scanty remains of our once proud mer
chant marine are being haggled off the
seas and of this critical time with Con
gress to soon to conve.no, I would like
to coil public attention, to a book and
urge its immediate reading.
The title of this book Is "Tho Amerl
can Merchant Marine. Its ItlMory and
Itomnnca from 1620 to 1902." The
writer waa Wlnthron Llnultt Marvin,
who says In oloslne his preface I "A word
personal. This work Is tha outcome ot
twenty years of such study as the
student gives to tho theme nearest his
heart As to tho causes that
have destroyed alt but a fragment of our
ocean fleet, It Is Impossible for any
American that knows them to speak or
-write wimnui deep feeling,, impossible,
certainly, to the first of his race In a
long New Hngland Una who has not
aiecn either shin owner or sonman."
mere you get tho nne tun ration or
bis book. He Inherited It with tea salt
In his veins, a seasoning that never
cramped the outlook nor dulled the In
tellect
Tho book was published by flcrlbners
In 1902, nnd I wonder why such an ex
perienced concern did not edit the
manuscript, confine tho different groups
earn to Its own chapter In chronologl
cal order and cut out practically a t of
the intolerable repetition. We -would
then have had a compact volume which
a business man would read at one sitting
and. perhaps, put n his Docket for
further thought and reference It Is too
lato In this emergency to wait for such
a book. The book we have should be
rend now by every Intelligent American
that loves his country, without regnrd to
race, color or previous condition of
servitude.
Our Inland landlubbers and the marl
nrrs of our great Inland seas and rivers
should read with a purpose to learn the
real truth, so carefully gleaned from our
experiences of nearly threo hundred
years, that by the Inevitable Interlacing
or interests the merchant marine li not
solely an affair of the seaboard, Lot
every man nnd woman In our broad land
learn that not only every city but every
nanuet is concerned.
ft Is not difficult to delve throuch tho
mess of tho Immaterial to the real val
uea In every chapter. When tho reader
haa read nnd learned, let him consult
hli neighbors and Jointly go for their
Congressman nnd nsk him If bo doesn't
hear the thunders of tho breakers on a
lee shore.
It seems unnecessary to nPDeal to
th voters of the Tactile coast. The
business men of San Francisco and
Reattlo have received' a severe lesson by
Pacific Mall. It Is the voters cast of
the Hockles that need to rouse them
selves. Our friends of the referendum
and recall, If they will bend their ener
gies toward a recall of our merchant
marine, will do well. The Iron nnd steel
Interests and their employers hae an
Interest that they should be looking
nfbr. Also the coal miners and. very
emphatically, the cnt(on men.

SCANDINAVIAN NEUTRALITY.
Are Norway nnd Sweden Conscious of

To the Hpitou ok The Sun Sir; Tour
correspondent J. Ixiwther, writing alout
Scandinavia's attitude In the war. asks
why "we hear of no steps being taken by

In respect of their ships being sunk by
German submarines." That ho hasn't
heard anything of It la less Important
linn the fact thnt they have protested
vigorously ngalnat the transgression of
heir rights.
Then ho nsks why they "keep on los
ing ships, nnd yet do not convey to the
German Government some Intimation
that further ilamngo would lend to
serious trouble between the two Govern
ments." This Is because they don't
care to boast of some power they do not

ATTACKS ALDERMEN
ON BUYING FOR CITY
Uureau Head Figures Up SI,
180,500 Spent Without
Competitive Bids.
EXPENSIVE AUTOS LISTED
The present Hoard of Aldermen, Im
mune from serious hostile attack tip to
this time. Is chnrged with "abusing one
of its greatest powers" lu ajt open letter
sent to Mr. McAneny yesterday by
Winiam Bullock, director of the Hureau
of City Inquiry, which Is under Tam
many's wtng.
The abuso alleged by Mr. Hullock Is
tho letting of $1,130,500 worth of city
contracts without competitive bidding
since January 1, 1914. Ho soys he Is
Informed that this Rtnouut far exceeds
the total for any previous period of
eighteen montlis since consolidation.
Mr. Ilullock charges that contracts
which beforo 1914 were awarded by free
bidding havo been let without comictl-
tlon of any kind. Ho says "tho present
Hoard of Aldermen hns persistently con
tinued to kill competition in oiuuing.
thereby leaving the city treasury at tho
mercy of Individuals In power, as
elected officials, appointed heads of de
partments, or otherwise." He goes on:
"Tha eltv Charter stipulated that no
contract exceeding J1.000 man no let
without free and unrestricted open wil
ding, except by voto of tho Hoard of
Aldermen. Experience In the past
proved that opportunity to let contracts
without open bidding led to favoritism
and graft. I!y removing contracts
totalling 11,130,000 from competitive
bidding the Hoard of Aldermen III the
nst eighteen months to that extent has
opened the door to favoritism nnd graft.
"The nurehnse of automobiles for city
departments has been n nuhject of
criticism many times within recent
years. The present Hoard of Aldermen
has exempted irorn competition thu pur
chase of an automobile for the Commis
sioner of Water Supply, Gns nnd Klec-
trlclty at 12,075 ; one for the 1'resldent
of Hrnokljm at Jl.SOO; one for tho
President of The Hronx nt 12,200 ; ono'
for thn President of Olieens at ! 2.0UO
ono for the President of Richmond
12,500 nnd ono for tho Commissioner
Parks. Queens, at f3.000.
'The Department of I.trKs, Queens, is
one of tho smallest units In thn city
government, yet owlnc to tho Hoard of
Aldermen the Commissioner has been
enabled to provide himself with prob
ably tho most expensive automobile In
tho city service, and thnt without public
letting.
In all the board has approved of the
purchase without competition of twenty
threo automobiles, ten automobile am
bulances, six uutomoblle trucks, one au
tomobile hearse nnd four tractors, or a
total of forty-four motor vehicles."
Amone the contracts approved without
competitive bidding and totalling J 1 .1 30.-
