readers expressing the view set forth IN the fol-
lowing letter:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you please editorally inform many in
curing persons whose ancestors fought IN the War
Of 1872 to force England to abandon her claim 10 the
right to search American ships and compelled her TO
drop that claim-whether the present admins trat on
AT Washington now proposes TO concede that old
Trclsb cloir egoin9 We ask because in one Of vour
morning contemporaries we read: They presumably
Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan concede Englands claim
to search our ships for eon"O'nd Of war Is
Yonkers. Nov. 3, 1914.
The mistake of our correspondent hes IN con
fusing the right to search for contraband with
the right to search for and impress seamen.
There was some incidental dispute prior to the
War Of 1912 over Great Britain's methods Of
searching for contraband. But that was not the
cause of the war. and the right to discover and
seize contraband was not questioned. The grave
affront by Great Britain which aroused this coun-
try was the assertion of the right to stop and
search our ships for alleged British sailors and,
finding SUCH to seize them. There was no author
ty in international law for this outrageous prac-
tice. it was abandoned by Great Britain and it is
almost inconceivable that any nation would as
sert it to-day.
The right Of visit and search" for contraband
rests upon entirely different ground and is an
established and unquestioned doctrine It was,
for instance, fully recognized by Mr.. Madison
when, as Secretary Of State in 1904, he drafted a
proposed convention with England. The instruc-
tons given in the General Orders of our navy to
blockading vessels and cruisers during the Span
ISL War define the right in accordance with mod
crn views:
This right should he exercised with tact and CON
sderatiOn and IN strict conformity with treaty pro
visions wherever they exist. The following direc-
tIOuS given, subject 10 any special treaty stpula
tions After firing a blank charge, and causing the
vessel TO lie TO- the cruiser should send small boat.
larger than a whaeboat with an officer to duct
the search. There may be arms IN the boat. but the
should not them their persons. The
officer wearing only his side arms and accompanied
on board by not more than two men Of his boats
crew, unarmed should first examine the vessels
papers ascertain her nationality and her ports Of
departure and destination. If she is neutral and
trading between neutral ports the examination goes
no further. II she Is neutral, and bound 10 an
enemy's port not blockaded, the papers which indI
cate the character Of her cargo should be examined
II these show coutraband Of war. the vessel should
be seized If not, she should be set free, unless. by
reason of strong grounds Of suspicion, further
search should seem to be requisite
The right is an annoying one when some other
country is exercising it. To the nation at war it
furnishes the only possible means of enforcing
the lew ~ Gsntraband.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT'S PLACE
Il Is with the Republican Party, but
He Should Learn His Lesson.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: New York State is now rid Of
Murphyism. but not Of all that 1t rep
resents-that is, the subtle influences
that made Mr.. Murphy. The Tam
many organization must unload. IL Is
waste of time to eXpend words and
newspaper space castlgatlng Mr. Muir
ply. Rather we must deal with an Is
sue. not coarse and illiterate per
sonality. How well the people OF the
State of New York have done this is
witnessed by the result of the New
York State election OF Tuesday.
The cant and hypocrisy Of our fed
eral administration were properly re-
buked. The European war does not
serve as a mantle of charity to cover
the great commercial depression that
prevailed for year before the Euro
pean war commenced.
The new" Democracy is dead; we
have been compelled TO look TO the
Republican party to do it. The Pro
gressive party is dead without accom-
plIshing any good for the country. but
1T has seriously harmed II and caused
a President 10 be elected by a minor
ity vote, with the result that the
country has been nearly wrecked by
revolution. This has only been
averted by the good sense of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Roosevelt's selfish ambition
brought the country to the verge of a
cataclysm.' Mr. Roosevelt should not
be altogether eliminated from the con
iidence of the people; he should learn
the truth that the more faithful are
the services of statesman TO his
countrymen, accompanied by an utter
abnegatiou Of self. the more real Is
his patriotism. and he will earn and re-
ceive the confidence and applause Of
his fellow citizens. Mr. Roosevelt
place is IN the Republican party. He
should frankly confess his political
sins and return thither. Mr. Roose-
welt - still great figure in American
politics, but he should conduct him
self in harmony with that fact
Now that the political stencil OF
Murphyism has been decently dsin-
fected and the subtle Influences back
of 1t unmarked let US hope for a
prompt revival of prosperity and de-
cency throughout the state. Let US
also hope that an increase Of Repub-
lican representation m Congress will,
IN a measure. curb the rottenness and
extravaganza of the present federal
administration. Simon pure Demo
Gratis. as well as the whole country,
are heartily sick Of d.

EXIT THE BULL MOOSE
Enter a United Republican Party
Provided Mr.. Whitman Leads Alright.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Progressives might as well
acknowledge that their days OF useful
ness are over.
Most of them enlisted under the
banner of Whitman, and those who,
through loyalty to T. r., stood up to be
counted had better make virtue OF
necessity and follow their excellent eX-
ample.
Mr.. Whitman has it in his power TO
unite the Republican party so that two
years hence there will be a solid pha-
lanx lined up against President Will
son and his grand army of free trade
Southern colonies.
By an expeditions discharge of all
Murphy chair warmers, beginning with
that highly expensive and utterly use
less Murphy exotic, Delaney, Of the
Inefliciency Department, he can save
the state many millions of dollars a
year.
The taxpayers are tired Of being ex-
plotted by the politicians. 1t will be
we'll for Mr.. Whitman TO keep this
single fact In mind.

Mr.. Whitman's Civil Service Task.

One of Mr. Whltman's campaign pledges was
that he would endeavor to perfect the states
civil service 10y undoing the legislation protecting
the commissioners from removal except on trial
by the Senate and by fostering the principle Of
appointment and promotion on merit only. In
promising now a reorganization of the civil ser
vice machinery after he gets to Albany the Gov
ernor-elect shows a realization of the Importance
Of such step in his administrative work
That Importance could not well be overesti-
mated The existing commission labelled, in
effect "a graft commission" by the Civil Service
Reform Association, has been grossly unfit for
its duties. 1t has been demoralizing force,
prostituting the public service to politics. 1t has
permitted places to be filed by men utterly un-
qualified TO hold them-indeed, by men who in
holding them damaged the state to a much
greater extent than the value Of their salaries
whenever they attempted TO NEEDLE with their
duties All that must be undOne if the work of
the state departments is to be made honest and
efficient. Mr.. Whitman viii have to obtain the
repeal Of the law which protected the Tammany
commissioners. He will have to obtain new
commission whose members will work with him
in undoing Tammany's viciousness and building
up the department stats which were torn TO
pieces by Tammany greed This will be an essen
tial part Of the reorganization work on which his
administration must make its name

Pure Democracy and Corporation Kehcf'

II must be quite a blow TO corporation pohu-
clans who have been inyeighng against thoSe
devices of pure democracy the initiative refer
endum and recall. TO see how the referendum IN
Missouri has operated in favor Of the railroads.
For two years there has been full crew law
in that state which necessitated the employment
of men not essential TO the operation OF railroad
trains or the safety Of the public. The railroads
protested there as they protested here, IN Ne"
Jersey and other states where the railroad men $
labor unions have forced the adoption OF TINS
measure. Finally. at this election, they had the
question Of the laws repeal submitted to the
voters. When the case was presented the voters
decided by heavy margin that the law should
be repealed.
In New York State the railroads are penalized
by this law, which compels them to hire men
they cannot use proftably, or at all, for that
matter. They cannot make needed improvements
because of this drain on their resources. Some
Of them have had to cut down their train service
because of il. so that the public actually has
suffered SO far no state official has seen fit to
undertake a campaign to have the law repealed.
The railroad companies must sometimes wish
there were some devices Of pure democracy in
this state and that the rulings Of the Interstate
Commissions which is inspired with the same
spirit as the Missouri Legislature, might also in
some way be recalled.

A PROGRESSIVE CRITIC
Party Spirit VS.. the Paramount Need
Of Beating Tammany.

To ,he Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in this morn
ings issue referring to Colonel Roose-
velrs anti-Barnes stand as betrayal
Of progress leads me TO confirm my
belief that The Tribune's political
views for the last few weeks have
been rather Inconsistent.
Your early attitude toward the
Whitman-Hinman contest for the gu
bcrnatorial nomination was greeted by
many of your readers az a bold stand
for the right. and your later indorse-
mont OF Whitman was conceded 10 be
an act Of loyalty to your affiliated
party.
But why blame tho Progressivcs and
Roosevelt 30 harshly for supporting
their own party and principles, while
The Tribune supports its own party
and the same old Bill"?
