AUTOMATIC RAILWAY STOPS.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial of July you call
attention TO the automatic stop used by
the New York subway. and seem to lament
the fact that there has been no device
round Of this kind that will meet with
weather conditions. recently had. occasion
to read the 1912 report OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission and drew the con-
clusion that the La Croix automatic stop
had solved the matter. and still you make
no reference TO the doings OF public COM
missions.
1 have read Of automatic stops in general
for the last five years. and 1t seems to me
as though some definite information ought
to be put before the general reading pub

CALLS PRIMARIES A FARCE
Vote in Some Gases So Small as to
Show No Result.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial Reforming the Pri-
maries" is the best thing on this subject
that I have seen. I have said and say
now that the state primaries as held by
the different states before the Chicago con-
vention were a farce. Nobody understood
them, and the consequence was that the
vote was in almost every state one-half
what II ought to be. The vote In some
cases was so small as to show no real
result At the same time Roosevelt and
some Of his followers are bowling fraud
and thief The fact IS that we now have
forty-eight states, and II each individual
state should hold a primary TO suit itself
we would never elect another President
There would be the most mlxed-up, con-
glomerated mess ever dreamed OF. II has
taken more than fifty years 10 get the old
caucus system In working order, and unless
there IS a general law we shall never have
a primary that will work. Don't jump
from the frying pan into the fire" is good
motto; so is Look before you leap"
Talk about bossesl No man ever lived
who was more anxious than T. Roosevelt
TO be boss He is so full Of conceit that he
would expect the world to stand still II he
should happen to die. There must be lead
ers-call them bosses II you please. Every
business has its boss or leader. and could
not be carried on without one. II is pre-
cisely the same in politics. You must have
leaders no less in the primary than in the
caucus.
This thing needs a lot OF study. The pri-
mary will not run itself The grand old
Republican party has been a success be-
cause It has had the best brains In the
country to lead IT, We have the brains
yet, and not at all dependent on the zion

TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY
Reader Reflects on What Might Result
If the Theory Were Practised.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: It IS stated that In the event OF the
election OF Governor Wilson and II con-
siderable reduction OF the taxes on imports
is made some OF our large manufacturers
Will build mills in China or some other
place where labor is plenty and men are
willing TO work for small wages. and there
produce the goods for the markets and con-
sumers OF this nation.
The value of the goods imported now Is
very large The value Of the goods pro-
duced In this country which are protected"
BY n tax Is an immense sum. The mind can
hardly imagine the cost OF the ships, the
docks and the connecting railroads. as also
the buildings and the development OF mines,
which the suggested change would require.
In regard to the pay to be given for these
imported goods will there be any change
from the present ways? SO far as the writ
err knows. goods pass from one owner to an
other in the following ways only:
Goods may be given away The consum-
ers will not receive many In this way.
The receiver may give silver coin. The
importer will not take silver coin to an
other nation. because they are worth a great
deal more here.
Gold coin may be given. The value OF all
the gold in the world is small In compari-
son with the value OF the goods under con-
sideration A man who boards gold Is
called a miser, not a merchant. A nation
which boarded gold would not bs an i'm
portant commercial nation.
Some form Of paper may be taken by the
importer. The securities of our railroads
and other companies have been sent to
other nations In more or less direct pay
ment for imported goods. The total value Of
all the stocks and bonds which could be sent
out Of this nation in any long period OF
time would be small when compared with
the value of imports. Other forms Of paper
are worth more here than they would be In
the markets OF foreign lands.
There remains one possible way Of max
ing exchanges without limit Giving goods
exported for goods imported. This Is COM
merce. It is older than history. Some small
places have had great importance because
OF their commerce. No place, so far as
know, has had great influence that was
engaged In manufacturing only.
The profits of commerce which moves
goods long distances, from one nation TO
another, do not depend upon laws, rulers
or politicians. Goods are taken from those
places where they can be produced to good

THE OWNERSHIP OF MONTICELLO

However desirable it may be to make
certain the preservation for all time OF
Monticello as memorial to the author
Of the Declaration of Independence, 1t
IS impossible not to sympathize Win
the desire and purpose OF Congressman
Jefferson VI. Levy to remain himself the
custodian Of that shrine. 1t is his home
by inheritance and endeared to him by
long association.
Commodore Levy, an uncle OF the
present proprietor, purchased 1t in 1880,
four years after Jefferson's death, and
II has remained in the Levy family ever
since. Commodore Levy was an ardent
admirer Of Jefferson. The statesman
was impoverished In his latter days,
and only through the aid of friends
was able to retain his home. His chill
dren found it necessary to dispose Of the
place. and It is said that General Jack
son suggested the purchase to Comma
dore Levy with a view to having 1t In
the hands Of one who would regard its
traditions. The place has been rever-
emily cared for and It's Old-time atmos-
phere so far as possible preserved. 1t
has not been made into a museums uf
Colonial furniture or picnic resort for
excursionists: but It has been kept as
historic English houses are kept, to be
used but to be conserved, and 1t has
been opened to visitors with liberality
and hospitality which left nothing to be
desired. No stranger going there unin-
vited and asking TO see where Jefferson
lived can forget the courtesy with
which. though n private house with
family in residence. its doors were
thrown open TO him.
If Mr.. Levy should ever wish TO part
with his home, certainly the nation
should have the chance to acquire Il,
and perhaps condemnation might be
justfiable If any danger should arise
that the house, which is a most inter
esting example Of Jefferson's taste as
an amateur but not unskilful architect,
would be destroyed or the estate split
up In the absence Of such an emer-
gency it would be difficult to justify any
movement 10 force Mr. Levy, either by
law or agitation. to give up property
which has been In his family for eighty
years and always used with due regard
for the public and the memory OF its
great builder.
