The Century's New Conductor.

BY engaging Josiah EURO as chorus master and
one Of the conductors for the Century Opera Com
pany next season, the Messrs. Aborn have put them
selves into position to carry out the improvements
in orchestra and chorus which they recently prom.
ised TO their patrons. Mr.. EURO will materially
strengthen their stafr OF conductors while his ex-
perience and ability chorus master can he used
TO the full at the Century. Though young man.
he has good work to his credit here-notably as
chorus master at the lamented Manhattan Opera
House, where his singers exceently trained ::
as conductor OF the delightful Hans the Flute
Player" and manager and conductor OF some

which considering his material, were distinctly
crcditable.
Orchestra and chorus OF the Century company

chorus school which he is TO conduct during the
summer will be able TO have his singers well pre-
pared for rehearsas with the principals when they

the singers who made up the Century's chorus last

PENROSE OR PINCHOT?
This Republican Prefers the Standard
Oil Brand Of Senator.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: ! have read with keen interest
your editorials to-day on Mr.. Roosevelt
In N York and Mr.. Penrose in Penn
sylvania Men and parties should be I'M
selfish and big enough to accept good
from any source. but DO not believe Mr..
Roosevelts advice should be the guide
for Republicans of New York, or any
other state. II is plain from his recent
moves that his sole object. in a political
way, is to return TO the White House.
Under all the circumstances Republicans
should not be censured for refusing aid
to that end. There can be no doubt that
Mr.. RoOsevelts influence In your state is
less now than during his great fight over
the Governorship in 1910. New York s
welfare does not depend on Roosevelt. but
IL he can appear TO have the state follow
him his object will have been accom-
plshed.
Mr. Roosevelt knows that New York
State will nominate a good man. not just
willing to use the soft pedal on his new
doctrines, as II is evident he intends doing
throughout the country that he may shift
his diatrbes to the Democratic party.
The Tribune will find that Mr.. Roosevelt
will not be nearly so hard on Mr.. Penrose
as formerly. have criticised Mr.. PEN
rose, and shall so continue to do. but 7
believe that in to-day's editorial The
Tribune does him some injustice by max

Fighting with One Hand Tied.

The fall of Taxa If not the end, is at least the
climax of the French Moroccan campaign. IL links
Morocco with AlgierS the Atlantic with the Medi-
terranean II is the goal to which, for six years,
the French colonial forces have fought, Drawing
the religious fury Of the MOors and the thirst and
hunger of the desert. Their feat is the more
creditable because it was achieved in the teeth or
socialist opposition at home and menaces, ut Aga
dir and elsewhere, from abroad.
This opposition often proved more dangerous than
the enemy 1t tied the hands of officers who did
not dare so obstinate was the pressure at home to
order the energetic advance without which the
campaign would never end 1t weakened the
morale OF the troops, by sending to command them
timid and irresoute officers who, Ike General

but il awoke the government, and he was followed

satisfied the country by giving their officers free
rein. D'Amade Brulard, Moiner Goureaud and

the most of inadequate means. Last month, after
five years OF brilliant campaigning often against
great odds, Taxa fell.

LIFEBOAT EQUIPMENT
Did the Empress of Ireland Have
Modern Davits?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. / notice the statement in several
newspapers that the Empress OF Ireland
had "a most modern boat equipment.
Some of the Illustrations made from
PHOTOGRAPHER show this boat equipment.
and the old round bar davits are unmis-
takably recognizable, but ! fail to see
even one set OF the modern davits now In
stalled on many of the up-to-date steam
ers constructed of recent years
! remember that at the time the Titanic
went down emphasis was laid on the fact
that all the lifeboats carried under davits
were launched in spite OF the list or the
ship. At the subsequent inquiry 1t de-
veloped that had it not been for the mod
ern davits carried by the Titantic the
large. heavy boats in her equipment could
not have been launched on the high side
of the ship. Z
| have been Informed that the new rules
laid down at the international conference
when enforced require such mechanical
launching devices as will permit the crew
10 launch boats against list of the ship
as well as on the side which is low in the
water.
Considering the above fact, tho state
ment in the newspapers @hat the Empress
OF Ireland had modern boat equipment
cannot be correct. and this is further
proven by the failure to launch more than
few boats on one side Of the ship.
In view OF the evident difficulties in
constructing large passenger ships so as
to maintain them at all times afoat and
out OF dagger it seems TO me that the
boat equipment is a matter deserving seri-
Gus consideration, and furthermore that
the various government officials should
take steps to have, particularly the Older
passenger ships, equipped with more mod
ern appliances at the earliest date posi-
bic. and not wait until 1870, which | I'M
derstand is tine time specified by the
international conference which met at
London a few months ago.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
1t Should Be Fought by All the Means
at Our Disposal.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS murder. like pest and leprosy,
war and duels, should be driven off the
earth by education. civilization and by
all other methods of enlightenment of
the human race, so should legal murder
be fought by all means at our disposal.
Capital punishment is legal murder,
and legal murder is murder. Humanity
has no right TO kill human beings. Life
Imprisonment should take its place III
every instance. but life Imprisonment
should be Imprisonment for life. without
deduction or pardon. II a life prisoner
reforms, ne should be transferred to a
prison exclusively FOR reformed life pris-
oners, TO end there the remainder OF his
life in useful occupation of some kind.
This matter should be settled before
the present murderers' row of Sing Sing
is to be emptied into the electric chair
OF Sing Sings death chamber.

THE RELIGION OF THE FUTURE
Social Service Is Declared To Be ~ Old
as Charity.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: From time to time since ex-Presi-
dent Eliot OF Harvard undertook TO de-
fine what he was pleased to term tho
religion OF the future" letters have ap-
peared in the papers on the same subject
each quasi theologian having some code
OF ethics which he wished accepted. Now,
the subscriber is not attempting TO i'm
pugn the motives or question the SINGER
ity OF those seekers after truth. He only
deplores the presence OF so much idle
speculation and the use OF so many tire
some platitudes by. strange 10 say, people
OF culture, who ought TO know that the
Christian religion embraces certain re-
vealed truths which are immutable and
eternal. and are therefore incapable OF

banded 10 suit any eNigency or conform

In The Tribune OF the 9th inst. "A
Church Member" says that FOR the
churches to return to rites and ceremonies
would be step backward" etc. The
question arises as to what churches he
refers. for no church with any pre-
tension TO divine authority can consist
entity exclude rites and ceremony. which
are indispensable in many ways. as In
the administration OF the sacraments and
church worship.
Such phrases as social service" and
moral uplift" are constantly being en-
ployed as il they were cardinal virtues
that had been overlooked In the divine
dispensation. whereas they are included

ing him so directly the object of Mr.
Roots implication. I do not believe Mr.
Root ever intended or would now wish
TO apply his words to Mr.. Penrose. 1t Is
sometimes difficult in political situation
to see the better way, but for Repub-
leans to vote for Mr.. Pinchot IN Penn
sylvana is out OF the question. He is in
no way entitled TO the honor Of a seat in
the United States Senate from Pennsyl-
vania and his election would practically
assure Mr.. Roosevelt's return TO Wash
ngton with his following and all the New
Nationalism doctrine that The Tribune
has opposed as ably and strongly as any
journal in the country.

give them an even break the series to date. and
will leave them in excellent position to cop off the
