Special Training for the Governors
Work.

Mr. Stmson advocates the nomination Of Harvey
d. Human as the Republican candidate for Gov.
ernor on the ground that he is the best fitted by
ability and experience of all the candidates for
the place. 1t is an argument which will stand
any scrutiny And it is the argument which should
be controlling in the primaries THE Yonkcrs
Daily News" endeavOring to meet precisely that
argument advanced by The Tribune declared The
other day There is nothing about the job IL
Governor for which any independent, fearless citi.
zen requires special training; il special training
was necessary for candidates civil service ey-
animation, not general election, would be tie
way TO get Governor" That is precisely us
puere as to say that the best way to run the
United States steel Corporation would be to put
Christy Mathewson at its head.
1t does require special trainmg--tlat is detailed
personal knowledge and experience of some years
with state affalrS-to be the best kind of GUverno?
The state government is Il huge, complicated ma
chine. A Governor might be fearless, honest and
Industrious and still be the dupe Of politicians,
grating contractors and incompetent department
heads because he lacked personal knowledge pf
department duties and history, the ins and outs
Of legislative practices and the general personnel
and methods of the political game. This state
Nobody can successfully assert that Mr. linman
Is not the equal Of his opponents in mental calhrr.
Nobody can challenge his industry or his integrity.
But he has more than these qualifications lie hu,
record Of eight years Of faithful service in the
Senate. He acquired then the good vii. of the
state at large 10y his spleudid fight with Governor
Hughes. lie acquired, also detailed and com
prehcnsive knowledge Of state affairs, of stale
business and state finances, which his opponcnt,
cannot pretend TO have. The question presented
by the primaries is whether the Republicans will
choose as their candidate man able, honest f.rr-
less and with special training nd knowledge 10
fit him to be Governor, or will take chance that
some other man equally honest and fearless will
be able to become good Governor while learning
the duties of the job. This is Il mighty serious
question Or the Republican party aud the state,
1t is well that MI Sunson has given his views
on It.

THE CAUSE OF THE GREAT WAR
Militarism Declared To Be Not Wholly
Responsible.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

Tc the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Judging from his letter of Sep
TENDER 2, your correspondent, S. Poz-
nanski, has failed, in spite of his
worthy attempt, to find the true cause
of the great war. Europe has been
turned into an armed camp primarily
because of the commercial greed and
the conflict of economic interests in
horent in our capitalistic order of So
Ciety. Miitarism is undoubtedly a
great evil, and all right-minded men
unite in hoping that it may soon re-
cCiye its death blow. But it is idle to
put the whole blame for the war upon
mlitarism.
If never a gun had been manufact-
ured nor a soldier trained, and other
&C editions had remained the same, it
is more than likely that the same armies
of men which are now facing each other
would be battling in primitive fashion
with stones and clubs. The way to
abolish war is not to cry out against
war and against the instruments with
which men wage war, but to change the
basic conditions which make war pos
sible.
We may conduct peace parades and
contribute to peace organizations from
now until the day of doom, but until
we have reorganized society so that CO.
operation shall take the place of COM
petition as the watchword of men and
nations the monster war will continue
to pursue its path of destruction.
Without such change civilization.
sEake fashion, will fang itself to death
with its own poison.

An Economical City Administration.

When Mayor Mitches administration took up
IFS work it was pledged to policy of roofing out
waste and graft--of stopping the leaks iEe
reductions in the requests of many departments
for appropriations for next year show now WEI"
this pledge is being carried out. The Brooklyn
Park Department asks for some $4,000 less than
It received last year. The City Chamberlain cuts
down his expenses 5000. The Corporation Coun-
sells estimate is $4,000 below this years appro'
priation The Borough President of Brooklyn low
ers his expenses some $1,000. There are others III
the pruning list
None Of these items or even their total is enough
to make great difference in the tax, levy Yet Il
saving on small things is not TO be despised These
economies mean. that the Mitchell administration
has first the desire to live up to its pledge, and
second. the ability to do it. Given those qua1ca-
tions citizens can be sure that no wildcat business,
no waste and no graft will make holes in the city
treasury.

FALSE FRIENDS OF IRELAND
Enmity Toward England Is Called
National Suicide.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The clarion blast of j. Kennedy
Van Buren, to the Irish is enough to
make horse laugh. "England's OPP
preston of ireland" has been over
done. and. to some considerable eX-
tent, by agitators like Mr.. Van Buren,,
who in normal times take about as
much interest in Ireland and her af-
fairs as they do in the foreign policy
Of the Peruvian government.
Your correspondent, sir, is excited.
II is plain that he does not know Ire
land and the Irish or he would never
offer such advice in good faith, for it
is the counsel of national suicide.
Further evidence Of his excitement is
betrayed BY his misstatements Of fact.
For instance, John Bull has waged
war oil ireland by eviction, coercion
law and organized famine, so that
ireland has all along suffered rs Bel
GUM is suffering now" The absurdity
Of this statement is self-eyident TO one
who knows anything at all about Irish
conditions during the last thirty years.
The Irish tin Ireland are being
wisely led at this critical time. The
statesmanlIkc qualities OF John Red
mOnd are apparent 10 all but hate-in-
famed visions. Ireland will get Home
Rule, and with il will come an in
creased industrial stimulus that will
lrirg about prosperity and better
understanding, on which will be
builded a lasting peace and good will

HOLD FAST TO CHRISTIANITY
Impotence with Our Slow Progress
Receives an Answer.
10 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Throw Christianity over = la
"HarringtOn"- Tribune of to-day.
BY all means, yes, "and substitute the
religion of Old Rome be men-not
hypocrites."
Evolution is something working con-
tinually throughout the aOns of time,
and why should "lIarrington" expect
the Christian millennial period so sud-
denly. as Christianity is comparative
Is" young child in years as compared
with certain of the other religions? But
mark we'll the contrast in accomplish
ment.
"To every action there is reaction,
equal ard opposite in direction accord
ing to the physical laws OF the uni
verse, and does this not apply 10 reil'
pious activity as well as the activities
Of A nation? OF course, there Is asso-
ciatcd with this law the question o.,
loss through friction that may not
leave this reaction" quite equal to 'he
action" and herein we see the SLOW
progress-thc gradual accomplishment
of the dream Of the ages-the Brother
hood of Man possibly by breaking
down or rebuilding the barriers" 81
our Christian civilization. -,
Regardless of what "Harrington'
may think of the present outward mar
itestations of "Christianity" tand his
letter bears the "earmarks" of the So
cialist); after all we must agree that ta!S
nation will still safely harbOr and
nurture the Christian faith, interpret
ING all conflict. especially the present
European war, in the light OF recent
American poets vision:
"In this great world there are no acct

Reward for an American Officer.

One Of the most interesting pages which we
have ever seen in that rather proSy publication.
"The Congressional Record relates to Captain
John Henry Gibbons L. 5. " 1t gives the life Of
that officer in unadorned language taken from
official documents and the opinions of his SuperiorS
II shows from the time Of his graduation from
Annapolis in 1879 an active and distinguished sell
vice Of which any country might be proud. He was
commended for gallantTy as an ensign on the Vail
dalia in the Samoan hurricane Of 1883. As lieu
tenant he served throughout the Spanish war; led
a brilliant rescue expedition in the Philippines
and participated in the Boxer campaign in China.
While in command of the Dolphin that vessel was
awarded the trophy for naval gunnery, attaining
the greatest rapidity Of hitting and the highest
final merit of all vessels in her class.
Despite his own preference fer service at scd,
Captain Gibbons was in 1911 selected as supcrin-
tendcnt Of the Naval Academy, where lie again
proved his efficiency. He was detached in Feb.
ruary of this year to command the Louisiana AID
later the DreadnOught Utah and was in command
of the first regiment Of seamen landed at Vera
Cruz. For his work there he singled out for
especial cOmmendation by his brigade commander.
What Is the reward for this long and disin-
1911, retired by the 'plucking board" and his "a
reer in the navy brought to an abrupt close. Why!
Because he had never contributed anything 20
naval progress" So at least, said the "pluckiug
hoard"

Infant Mortality Drops.

There were POO deaths and a rate
OF ll.27 last week. compared with 1884
and a rate of ll.50 for the correspond
ing week in 1913. allowing for the in
crease in population. The Department
Of Health figures the totals as a de-
crease of twenty-five deaths this year.
The unusual feature OF last weeks
figures is the fact that there was not
death from scarlet fever.
The mortality of infants under one

TWO WAR QUERIES
The Case Of Neutral China and the
Case of Neutral Belgium.
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II you can afford the space
should be glad TO have you explain:
/. Why the United States has not
now as good pretext for declaring
war on Japan for the violation Of
China's neutrality as Great Britain
had for declaring war on Germany for
the violation of Belgium'S neutrality?
.. Why is not the attitude of Great
Britain in refusing to allow into her
ports men who have taken first papers
Il refusal TO recognize the United
States naturalization laws ques-
ton presumably settled in favor of the
United States by the War of 1872?
AGNES VI. MUNSON.
New York, Sept. IL, 1914.
!. China was not created and con-
neutral state BY an interna-
tional treaty, as Belgium was. Prus-
STA and Great Britain had pledged
themselves and each other to respect
Belgium's independence aud territorial
Japan and the United States
have never signed treaty guarantee
ing China's neutrality, although they
have accepted informally the principle
Of preserving China as an entity" In
addition TO her treaty obligations
Great Britain also had vital political
and military interest in preserving The
neutrality of Belgium, on account of
the proximity to England of Belgium's
channel ports. We have no such inter-
est in China.
