MIR. Humans Anti Boss Record.

Behind every political scandal lies the party
boss Behind every arbitrary defiance OF pubic
opinion by public official legislative body lies
the party boss. Whether the boss be a CRATER III
contracts or political theorist, so determined 20
wrest the world to his manner Of thinking that
he IS willing 10 fight and smash regardless of the
majority sentiment in his party, he is a menace
to the public interest. The public is weary of b.
ing exploited by him. Party voters demand diff
ferent brand Of political leadership.
Harvey D. Human should be the choice of every
Republican voter at the primaries on that ISSUE
He is the only one of the candidates for nomina-
ton for Governor who has a record Of open and
consistent opposition to political bossism of the
rue-or-run brand As Governor Hughess lieu
tenant he fought the boss clique in a Legislature
which was determined to kill Off any attempt %
pass direct primary law. As a candidate for
the Governorship nomination he is still carrying
on that fight for control of the party by its en-
rolled members. not by political machine. His
nomination would mean tremendous victory for
true progress in political affairs.
His election would mean an assurance of genu-
inely good government for this state for the first
time since Governor Hughes welt TO Washington.
There would be no blatant demagOgy in the front
room Of the Executive Chamber and trucking 70
bossism in the private Office. There would be no
fake economy so the bOss's boys could continue
to draw their salaries. There would he no graft
filled departments and no experimentation legis
atures, for he would spot the jokers in the bills
Human has the will TO put the boss out Of bust
ness and the ability and experience to give the
state good government Failure to nominate and
elect him would be mistake which the Repub
ican voters would be bound to lament during two
years more Of Tammany rule.

The Prophets and the War.

Various prophecies are being brought forward

Paris has just recalled an especially interesting
prediction Of 1901 by Il Portuguese, Dom BoscO,
who declared that Germany would be dismenl-

outstanding by an East Indian that the Kaiser
will lose his crown in November, 1914. All these
pretty prophecies, however pale by the side of
that familiar mathematical prediction which has
been going the rounds for several years Accort.

On the other hand, there is risk that the French

and that they will strain every effort to meet the
Germans before they have got off Belgian territory.
This will be to fight Germanys battle and TO risk
giving color to the whole war by an initial blunder
due to military pride. The only way to battle

An Appeal to the Farmers.

Recognizing the fact that America must supply

America has begun a campaign to arouse the
farmers Of this country to their opportunity and

able acre and to increase the average yield Of
each acre. That is extremely good advice on two
counts.

ing proceeds to castigatc representa-
tives Of manufacturers of coal tar
products because they intimate to Sec

absence of government protection. they
cannot afford to install expensive ma
chinery and construct buildings for the
manufacture of dyestuffa while they
have no assurance as to how long the
present conditions, preventing importa-
tiOns. will continue.
These dyestufs have formerly been
imported, largely from Germany. and
they were imported because Germany
made them and delivered them in New
York cheaper than we could produce
them at a profit.
Labor is materially cheaper in Ger

that the German government openly

NO JUSTIFICATION FOR KAISER
A Rehearsal of the German Foreign
Policy Leading Up to the War.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As each day passes and further
news arrives from Europe Of the giean-
tic conflict now taking place il must
have been brought home to the minds
Of the American public by this time
how wicked and diabolical were the
deep-laid schemes of the Kaiser and
his despotic clique in Berlin who sur
round him. No man can face the facts
so far presented to us and entertain
any Justification for Germany's actions
her backing of Austria in her in o.
lent and impossible demands from Ser
via, already impoverished and welI-
Cned by two great wars only yesterday
one might say. The murder of the
archduke was only an incident, but vas
used as the spark by Germany and Aus
tria to ignite the whole of Europe, ii it
stops at that. Some say Germany has
kept the peace Of Europe for so long.
Yes, but why and for what purpose?
For the full preparation for and the
preparation of the present enormous,
horrible crime against civilization,
which she has premedtated for years.
Her armies of spies have infested
England for many years past in all
military and naval depots, hundreds
Of whom have been caught, but hun
dreds must have got away with useful
information who went over and
earned better living than in their
own country to betray the country that
offers hospitality and free existence to
all men and free from the whip of con-
scriptiOn.
The Kaiser's actions in the Spanish
American War and in the Boer war and
the violent speeches by the military
party during the Moroccan crisis i'm
1911 and the scornful reception of the
British governments many offers Of a
reduction in ornaments providing Ge"-
many would do likewise are still Fl. al
