Humans Persistent Republicanism.

It ought to be some comfort to the upstate Re
publicans who aver that they cannot swallow the
Human candidacy because It was dictated by
Roosevelt" to consider how little that is disturbing
Mr.. Human himself For a creature of Roose-
welt, the superboss, the Binghamton man appears
to be singularly self-suficient He has not
adopted any OF the Roosevelt fads and fancies.
None Of the initiative and referendum for him.
He does not believe that the recall either Of ofh-
Gals judicial decisions, is the best way to rec
tify mistakes OF voters or officials. He has not
even acquired the Roosevelt-P Progressive point of
view on woman suffrage, though his own Repub-
lican party In 1912 advocated submission Of votes
for women constitutional amendment to the voters.
Mr.. Human, in spite Of his Roosevelt indorse-
ment, seems to consider himself no less Repub-
ican now than when he was fighting Hughes
battles in the Legislature Then he had majo
ity Of the Republican members of each house with
him in crises, which was pretty fair evidence If
his party standing He is good candidate for
the PrOgressives to indOrse in a fusion against
Tammany, because of his persistence in the
Hughes brand Of Repubcanism but nobody is
under any less deusion about Mr.. Humans polit-
ical views and political adherence than Colonel
Roosevelt and his Progressive intimates. They
do not expect him to be a Progressive Governor.
They know he would be as Republican then as he
is now. If the enrolled Republicans whose sup
port he seeks in the primaries let themselves be
persuaded into any other belief they will be far
more gulble than the Progressives ever were.

The Misleading Wireless.

The principal canards of the present war seem
10 have filtered in from the elusive world inhab-
tied by the wireless Plain imagination, the de-
sire to start something, is responsible for some Of
these false rumors. The rest undoubtedly take
their origin from the beautifully vague and in
choate words which are nowadays swapping
through the air Of the seven seas.
There was the false S o call in the China
Seas not long ago as a good illustration of how
the wireless can deceive A few dots and dashes,
faint and fragmentary, sounded like the signif-
cant letters to some half awake operator And
tragedy and dismay spread round the civilized
world as result.
The same origin can easily explain the current
war fakes. Code messages are splitting the air
these days, and it is small wonder that operators
get words and fragments of words which suggest
messages Of victory and disaster Some day an
operator will come in with an item Of genuine
news and we shall all scott at him. That is the
trouble with overworking the game of snatching
facts out of the air thousand miles off soundings.

MEMORIAL FOR MRS. WILSON
New Building Suggested for School in
Her Native Town.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The memorial to Mrs. Wilson
suggested in The Tribune of the 9th
inst. might be erected in her native
town and burial place, Rome, Ga, and
might be made TO further great patri-
otto work which was especially dear to
Mrs. Wilson-the education of the
mountain people of the South.
Mrs. Wilson was deeply interested in
the Berry School, at Rome, Ga. When
her paintings were sold in New York
she gave the proceeds 10 that school.
In last years report of the school Miss
Martha Berry, principal, gave list OF
new buildings greatly needed. One OF
those new buildings might be erected
as a memorial to Mrs. Wilson. Ger
tainly no memorial could have pleased
her more.
The Daughters of the American Rev
olution give largely to that school
every year, and it is probable that
their national board would gladly add
those funds TO the fund for the memo
rial building.
The matter could be taken up with
Miss Martha Berry, principal Of the
Berry School, Rome, Ga.

In Memory of Mrs. Wilson.

correspondent whose letter appears IN another
column has suggested that memorial OF MIS-
Wilson take the form of building for the
school in her native town, Rome, Ga, in which she
took lively interest. There is so much that Is
entirely appropriate in this idea that we should
like TO briYg il to the attention of all who feel
that the country should express in some concrete
form its appreciation of the sefeffacing, selfsac-
rifcing service Of a fine woman.
Mrs. Wilson, it has been said, was the victim
of the tremendous strain which the social life of
the White House puts upon every Presidents wire.
But onerous as her social duties were she did not
relax. while her strength lasted her activities in
behalf of those charities whose cause she had
espoused before entering the White House, and
one of these charities, claiming her most
GA rnest attention was the Berry School, in her old
home.
Mrs. wilson, if she could express her desires
i'm the matter, would be the last person In the
world TO wish a monument to her personality.
The only condition on which she would consent
10 its erection would be that it submerged its role
of memorial in its service to humanity, just rs
she we might add, effaced herself in her efforts
70 do good. much needed building for the Berry
School would fulfil this condition. it seems to us,
I'm an eminent degree.

THE LETTERS OF DULCINEA.

Don dearest
OF course l agree with you A small wedding is
just much nicer than a great big one. Al
though you know big weddings fine way to pay
social obligations And wedding parties arc fun But
after all simple quiet affair is best. No, don't
mind living in Harlem. / have always said you
know that if a girl really loued man it didn't
make any difference lChere she lived. never have
believed in long engagements you know. / think it
is best for two young people to start out that
each will be sacrificing something and work to-
gether. Then in after years they will have some
thing in common to look back on That is my idea
OF married life. 1t should be a partnership each
one doing their share don't you think?
| met duck of Harvard man last night Don
desr-Maxwe Keezer. He was in your class Did
you know him? l suppose not, for Harvard is such
big place.
Do you remember my old school chum Lillian Ly-
ford? Well, she is here and is such a cat. She is
so jealous of her fance Taylor Botsford that she
won't let him out of her sight But it just proves

Making the Worst of Heat Wave.

New Workers might wear furs all summer In
that way they could be hotter than they were
yesterday tripping to work in their nice. dark,
heavy suits OF wool As it was they did their
share TO make a tropical day dank and miserable.
Is it ignorance or pride that makes us scorn
proper clothes suited TO our hot climate? Scarce
ly ignorance Everybody knows that light suits,
light in weight and color, are cooler than the
regulation smotherers Everybody also knows
that II is hot. Or If any one has any doubts he
might consult Mr. Stanley Doust, tennis player
from hottest Australia, who was overcome by heat
at Longwood, Mass, Saturday.
So it must be pride. We like to show our
stamina and Spartan heroism by making our hot
spells just as hot as we can. There will surely
be nothing in life hereafter to cause the slightest
inconvenience to tried and tested New Yorker.

FLIRTATIONS WITH RUSSIA
Germany Formerly Guilty of Charge
She Now Makes Against Her Foe.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some of your correspondents
and others have expressed much indig-
nation at the cooperation OF Great
Britain with Russia against Germany
that is, with the Slavs against the
Teutons -pronouncing it race treaeh-
cry" which never can be forgiven.
Passing over the negligible detail
that Great Britain is not cooperating
with Russia, but is maintaining the
neutrality of Belgium as guaranteed
by > treaty between herself and Prus-
STA, it is pertinent 10 recall that the
great Teutonic powers themselves have
very markedly co-operated with or
sought the cooperation of Russia.
It was Teutonic Austria under Fran
els Joseph that called in Russian
army to subjugate Hungary, subvert
her independence and crush her repub-
licanism.
II was Teutonic Germany, under the
personal direction of Bismarck, that
first made a Triple Alliauce with Aus
tria-Hungary and Italy against Russia,
and then made a secret treaty Of quasi
alliance with Russia, potentially against
its own allies.
Whatever our sympathies with or
estimates Of the present war, let US
at least be consistent and regard the
truth of history. W. r. o

CHRISTIANITY NOT TO BLAME
Only Wars for Gust Cause" Sane
toned by the Church.
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter of Harold Fogel
which appeared in your issue of the
9Th instant, is most illogical and IRA
tional in its attempt to arraign Chris
tianity for the war being waged in
Europe
The subscriber is no protagonist Of
bellicose methods at home or abroad I;
but he realizes that, inasmuch as many
cruel dynasties would have prevailed
and many tyrannical despots would
have pursued their careers of rapine
and plumber indefinitely in times past
il no martial spirit had arisen to check
their inglorious ambition, war fire.
quently is the only alternative to ma
tional degradation, if not humiliation.
Your correspondent appears TO be
unaware of the fact that the Christian
Church only sanctions war in "jus:
cause; and then only when all other
efforts at arriving at an amicable set
Element have been exhausted Mr.
Fogel exhibited very meagre knowl-
edge of the scope, the influence and the
practlcal application OF the lesson OF
Christianity as demonstrated through
so many channels in our very midst
daily, when he made the rash and
sophisticated statement that this war
proves that "there is no such thing as
Christian morality" as he might just
as well have asserted that all laws are
abortive because some men succeed in
evading them II would be interesting
to know whether he really believes that
the absence of Christian principles
would ensure the presence of peaceful
methods; or, that the crude and in
tangible ethical theories which (infer-
entially) he would substitute for the
teachings of Christianity, would pro-
mote the establishment of an FL Do
RADIO, in which all the virtues would
find beautiful expression, or, in fine,
whether he has the temerity to assert
that there are inherent qualities IN
man which Christianity has failed Il
develop.
II is quite clear that he realizes that
any such preposterous assertion would
refute itself, so he has recourse %
vapid generalities in a vain attempt tc

A Federal Museum of Safety.

The National Civic Federation's advocacy OF the
Lewis bill in Congress for a federal museum OF
safety should give a needed impetus to that meas
ure. 1t is highly desirable that there be such an
institution. 1t would serve as clearing house
