WRITE TO ROOT TO ACCEPT NOMINATION

Sir: It is undoubtedly the general desire among
the Republicans. and also with many Democrats
of this State that the Hon. Elihu Root should De
nominated for Governor by the Republican party.

YOUR paper who Is in favor OF the election OF
President Roosevelt and the continued ascendancy
OF Republican policies in the government should
write Mr.. Root and urge him to accept the noml-
nation for Governor 1t seems hardly fair to ask
Mr. Root to forsgo his preference for private lie

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
SPEED OF TRAINS.
Germany Not Likely to Take Palm from
America.
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor y The Tribune.
Sir; Am / quite right in having read in the press
that the New-York Central road was about TO
build electric engines after the pattern OF one Just
completed by the General Electric Works. at Schen-
ec1adJ-the engines TO be built TO have the
Power 70 run one hundred miles an hour? Am I
road electric engines have been run in experiments
f WIiG2 nave gone more than one hundred and
that the Germans held the record for bringing their
Hams N on time Are they also g2lng 70 ieaa IN
New ork, Aug %. 1904
Probably not. Germany's best trains to-day
are slower than those OF this country. The
Hamburg express makes a run of 1TS miles at
q mean speed of 515 miles an hour while the
Empire State Express covers 1895 miles at
average Of 53.27 miles. That portion Of the
route OF the Nord express (from Ostend to St.
Petersburg. which lies in Germany is $40 miles
in length, and the mean speed Of the train on
that section is 1916 miles hour. The
Twentieth Century Limited, from New-York to
Chicago. travels nearly 1000 miles. and does it
at a trifie under fifty miles hour. All of this
service is performed by steam.
The two statements about electric engines,
which our correspondent quotes are substanti-
ally correct but there is an important difference
between the machines mentioned The engines
of the New-York Central are being built for
actual use. The machines tried in Germany
were constructed for test purposes only. and
there are yet no indications that more of them
have been ordered, or that the necessary changes
are being made in any German steam road 70
adopt it to electric traction The Berlin-zossen
line, on which the historic experiments
were tried. is only few miles long. 1t was al
most entirely rebuilt. guard rail being placed
inside of the other one, and other precautions
being taken against accident. Even on that
road there is now electric service
1t is we'll to bear in mind one more fact
Theoretically, the speed of an electric engine is
simply a matter of gearing. The practical limi-
tationg are those imposed by straightness and
other features of the track. II Germany can
not equal America in the operation of steam
trains, it is hardly safe TO expect her to do so
with electric trains.
