MIR. Barnes, MIR. Whitman and the
State Craftsmanship.
FRIDAY. OCTOBER .. ioiL

No mistake can be made about the proceedings
Of the Republican ; tc Committee yesterday. Mr.
Mills was not elected state chairman because ne
was an anti. Barnes man aud had based his can
didacy ON the issue Of eliminating the Barnes III
nuencc when Mr. Whitman aud Mr.. Wadsworth
demanded Mr. Millss withdrawn they served the
purpose Of Mr. Barucs and his followers.
For this the responsibility must he theirs per
sonally. 1t is unfortunate that their action will
react on the Republican party. The Tribune has
said and rciteratcs its belief. that MIR. Whitman
ia not an out.andout Barnes man. lie cannot long
hone to escape that reputation. however if he con
fipues 10 let Mr.. Barnes influence his political
course as he did yesterday.

said tina. be is able. clean and energetic and de-

stances.

which we stopped several days every
American was kindly received and gen

were told they could remain as long
as they chose. and, if short of funds,
settle their accounts when they reached
home.
They simply went out Of their way
TO help the Americans, and We fire.
quently realized that the Germans
could teach US many lessons IN their
courtesy TO strangers. The Spartan
like spirit OF their men aud women
alike won our love and admiration, also
that of thousands Of other grateful
Americans, and we were all proud 20

The annual report OF the treasurer,

It shows that gifts and requests for

they amounted to Sl.i1G.g35 81.
As a teaching institution the upjver-
-ty closed the year with deficit OF
$3.50 Sc, which is considerably less
than the deficit of year ago. Loss Of
interest throug, default and reduction
of dividends amounted to $4,000,
which is less than I per cent of the
total income. Because Of the losses OF
income. the average yield on all invest
ments Is j.s3 per cent this year Last
year IL was sol per cent The total
investments amount to SlA.62i ,2jS 81.
Large appropriations were made by
the university from its general income
TO aid its various schools, amounting
in all to S22I,A93 81. About one-half Of
this was required for the deficits in
the Graduate School and the School Of
Medicine. for which additional cndow-
mont is urged. Appropriations by the
university to supplement salary pay
ments to teachers in its schools
amounted to S83,902 Is.

IT is noted that net loss of S2.522 81
was sustained during the last season

OF New Ha"cn. but under the auspices
Of the Yale School Of Music.

THE SPIRIT OF NEUTRALITY
A Reader Questions the Nobility of
MIR. Wilson's Belgian Speech.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sin: The range Of human motives Is
AS wide as the horizon Of summer
sea. stretching all the way from him
vino asks If he is his brothers keeper to
that love which makes man lay down
his life for his friends. There 10 never
any question i'm any ones mind Of tho
unloyclmcss Of one type nor Of the no,
biiItv OF tho other.
We have heard "a grra, deal lately ju
admiration OF our country attitude
toward the European war and OF tho
spirit of neutrality pursued by our
President with the Gucst chisolled tact
i'm the world. Ills speech TO the Bel
gians is commented on i'm all newspaper
editorials and periodicals as master
piece Of diplomacy. IN that 1t refuses
nothing 10 does not wish TO refuse, in
that il promises nothing il does not
wish to promise, il is Il masterpiece
And its language is seduCing in its
beauty and sounds ennobliHg.
Slowly. however, on rereadiug it, Il
dawus upon US that it has flaw, and
when We read again We begin to feel
ashamed.
Is this the answer Of a people who,
the president says, "love justice, seek
the Vrue paths Of progress and have a
passionate zeal for the rights of hui
manity"? Is this at all the time 10
praise ourselves and then give stone
when asked for bread in a cause more
appealing and perhaps more righteous
than our Civil War?
History is q Just judge. Whether or
not she will let sclf-intercst or an
ocean excuse a country's attitude tow
ard the greatest tragedy the world has
yet known only time will tell.
