Taking the Curse OFF Tammany.

The only reason the ordinary mortal can see Io'
Governor Gynn'S appointment OF an eXtraordlhaE

from the Democratic State Committee. This ne"
committee. in other words, is intended to take tn

The Special Newspaper Party Abroad.



HOLLAND.
We were then in the lowest OF lands
\ great contrast 10 Alpine Switzerland
We were aware when to the border We came
For soldiers guarded with might and main.
And our guide now IN high giee
From warning Germany TO be free.
The marsh scenes with COWS were rather quaint
Like Holland pictures that artists paint.
In the towns everything was expected so neat
But the opposite was found and quite complete
We visited the diamond factory OF fame
And wished TO purchase stones from the same,
But the guide warned us to keep our cash
AS the war might bring a financial clash
SO we contented ourselves with the surveillance
And went out to- meet our conveyance
We drove to the Royal Palace i'm town
And notes OH the beautiful carvings took down.
Then the RIGHTS museum renown
Was next on the program TO be found.
Rembrandts masterpiece we so admired
TIL were really and truly tired.
Back to lunch We had to get soon
TO go TO Marker in the afternoon.
only here can one see the peasant folk
And the men carrying water with yoke.
no RELIEF IN SIGHT,

THE GERMAN MIND
A Doubt Of Its Capacity TO Understand
What the War Is About.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: n IL be true that the German
Emperor has determined 10 have ms

cities full Of -combatants, II Is an
unduestonable testimony TO his stu
pidlty. lie could think OF no better
way to fix upon himself, to all eternity.
the cold contempt and adherence OF
the civilized world. History would
brand him as n creature outlawed from
the ranks Of decent men.
In all the discussion of the war now
going forward the barbarity OF when
this latest Zeppelin threat - typical ~
rightly kept well in view. 1t is an open
question, however, If there ~ not

referred. Reading the manifestoes OF
the professors and 'intellectuals' gen
orally who attempt to defend or gloss
over the policies which have led 10 the
violation Of Belgian neutrality, the
burning of Louvaln, the shellIng oil
Rheims and the dropping OF bombs on
non -combatants. the thing that has
struck me has been the German failure
20 comprehend the natural disgust OF
civilized peoples for such wanton
crimes. Better, almost, cynical glorl-
fication Of these things on patriotic"
grounds than a dull. sodden inability to
see how evil they are. The great eXem-
plars Of German culture" seem TO me
not so much cruel as dense. types Of
mind mysterously limited. Their stu
pdity for that is what it really looks

The Popular Grand Opera Movement
Should Be Sustained.

In order 10 sustain the movement in this city
for grand opera in English at popular prices. the
popular opera committee of the City Club has de
cded 10 ask subscriptions TO guarantee fund OF
$4,000 for the present Century Opera Company
season The collection of this fund is merely a
precautionary measure and no cuarantor vii! he
called upon 10 pay any share Of /; possible deficit
until one-third of the present share capital of the
Century Company has been exhausted. The Chi
cago- Philadelphia and Boston Opera companies
will not attempt 10 give opera at all this year.
because Of the unusual risks created by business
disturbances following the European war. So the
desire Of the Century Company to fortfy itself
against the financial strain which all opera pro
ducers must face for time is only counsel of
business prudence.
If the guarantee fund j. secured The Century
Company will return here after its visits 10 Boston
and Chicago and finish its season. Otherwise the
second half of the programme for lJl4-1J will
have To be abandoned 1t would be misfortune
+ tho experiment attended with much success

opera in English is doing a serious educational
work. ut is creating general public capable of
appreciatng good music and reaching thousands
who have not been able heretofore TO famiiarize
themselves with the works OF the great masters.

THE CANDID FRIEND
We Are Accused Of Printing Good
News, but Poor Politics.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A good many of your Republl-
can adherents in these parts are IN
quiring as TO the stand of The Tribune
in the recent primary electicS. They
want to know what kind of a ca%didatc
The Tribune wants. Mr.. Whitman is
the only candidate who stands any
show of beating Glynn. Any man who
can defeat two such good men as Him
man and Hedges can defeat Glynn with
or without the help of "the only Re-
publican newspaper, which lately
seems to be rather more Bull Moose
than Republican. 1t is a remarkable
thing that the ordinary brand of voter
seems to have displayed more intelli-
gence than your editorial staff. The
voter has learned 10 put not too much
faith in those who mount unto high
places and shout Down with Barnes
and Down with Murphy" The voters
IN these parts consider Mr.. Whitman's
refusal TO denOunce Barnes as courage
Gus as Mr.. Hughes's veto of the two
cent fare bill. Denouncing Barnes is
as futile as the sad and mournful
editorial in Saturdays Tribune.
beard half a dozen Republicans pre-
vious to the primary election, looking
at Whitman's record and Whitman's
photographs, say that a man with face
like that could not be dominated by
any boss. The recent election does not
demonstrate that Barnes elected Whit
man. If it does, how about Long Isl
and, where no campaign was made by
any candidate or agents of any: In
stead of that IL demonstrates that the
people were not willing that Whitman
should again be defeated by the same
kind of petty politics as The Tribune
stated he was defeated by when he ran
for Mayor
What is the matter with The Trib-
une? Can't its editors see the light?
Did all the brains of its editorial staff
crumble TO dust when Horace Greeley
died? When ! see you taking any
such stand IN politics as you have
lately and opposing every step of the
Prohibition movement, which is as sure
to succeed as the world is sure to con-
tinue to exist, rather think il must
be so.
The Tribune has improved wonder
fully IN its news and sports depart
ments. What ails your editors? The
writer - by no means an old-lIne Re
publican. lie has voted for both Demo
cratic and Progressive candidates at
times. He rs not in favor Of continu-
ing Barnes N office or any OF his gang.
but he hopes the Lord will continue to
give him brains enough TO distinguish
between candidates with more discre-
ton than The Tribune shows. L.

MILITARISM
This Reader Thinks Its Spirit Equally
Rampant in All the Warning Nations.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit constant reader to
offer a criticism of the tone of YOUR
esteemed paper ever since the outbreak
of the European war, particularly of
the cartoon in issue of even date de-
picting the German Kaiser staggering
under the load of the Iron Cross
marked "Militarism." Would you mind
my asking whether or not the only ma
ton in Europe with a standing army
is Germany?
With much willingness | attended
church yesterday, as our President re-
quested by proclamation, and at the
risk of boring you | would like TO re-
peat part of what | heard. The tonic
was Americas Duty: Neutrality"
The pastor said
IF you were to talk to a Frenchman
he would tell you that every tenth man
in Germany is soldier. A German
would tell you that one and one-half out
of every ten men in France are soldiers.
The German peasant carries a soldier
on his back; the Russian peasant car
ries Cossack on his back: the French
peasant carries one and one-half sol
diers on his back, and the English
worklngman carries battleship on his
back"
II your sheet is patriotic enough and
American enough to follow the wishes
OF Mr.. wilson. tomorrow you will have
your cartoonlst draw picture Of King
George staggering under the weight
OF the Victoria Cross. shaped as a bat
tleship. the name of which is Militar-
Ism. For the love OF justice be con-
sIstent, A NEUTRAL AMERICAN.

DENIED INJUNCTION
Judge Dismisses Application
When Counsel Pleads Lack
of Jurisdiction.

The Marcon Wireless Company OF
America lost ground yesterday when
Judge Van Vechtcn Veeder dismissed
the application for an Injunction re-
straining naval officers from interior
ing with messages sent by the com
pany. Tho day before Solicitor Cen
eral John W. Davis had asked TO nave
the Injunction dismissed on the ground
that the United States Court IN Brook-
lyn. in which Judge Veeder presides'
had no Jurisdiction, neither the PLAN
tif nor any Of the defendants being
residents Of the district. The company
is A New Jersey corporation. secretary
of the Navy Daniels comes from norm
Carolina, and the four naval cehsoIS
are respectively from Ohio, Pennsyl d.
vania, Louisiana and the District Of
Columbia.
John ~. Griggs, the former Attorney
General, who is now president OF ana
counsel for the Marconi company, ar
gued that the action was purely local
as it amounted TO ejectment proceed
ings in so far as the censors were
concerned, but Judge Needer did not
take that view Of the matter.
This suit is neither an action Of
ejectment nor an action TO secure
damages for trespass, nor can II be
extended to either by analogy
Mr.. Griggs will probably make appli-
cation for an injunction in the state
courts. He says that the government
to his surprise, is only trying 70 block
the suit BY technicalitics, when he ex-
pected that it would welcome 1t as
test case.
"The government is prepared 70 meet
the company squarely on the issues OF
the case whenever the suit is brought
in the court having proper Jurlsdic-
ton" said Assistant Attorney General
Charles Warren, who appeared with
Solicitor General Davis. eve were ready
three weeks ago, when the papers were
first filed. II is not for US, however, -
point out which IS the proper court.
The customary place TO bring actions
of this kind has always been in the
Supreme Court Of the District Of Co
lumbia"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II is natural TO suppose mat
oeople must possess confidence to un-
dertake To throw stones from trans
parent brittle structure. Such persons
must certainly be eXemplliicatlons OF
sanity qualities.
President MOskowltZ Of the Munich
pal Civil Service Commission untortu-
naUly cannot lay claim to these quail
ties, and has performed an exceedingly
dangerous act in throwing proJecGleS
from his glazed abode.
In recent statements and interviews
DR.. Moskowitz minated that the state
Civil Service Commission Investigation
Of the Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion was actuated by purely political
motives and that he considered the
whole matter a political manPuvre.
What insincerityi Not very long ago
President MoskOWitZ. upon assuming
the responsibility of guarding" the
merit system. removed Mr. Frank A.
Spencer, secretary of the Municipal
Civil Service Commlssio ion, an able and
efficie nt executive. who worked his way
up On the service of the commission
from one of the lowest positions. 1t
was Chairman MoskowitZs idea to ire
adjust" affairs so that the commission
may be cleared Of all influences inim-
zeal to the political administration of
which he is a part. For political pur-
poses our Municipal Civil Service pres
ldent removed a man whose service in
the city cannot be spared.
The writer desires TO heartily com
mend State Civil Service Commissioner
Dr.. Meyer Wolf for his excellent work
IN behalf of the merit system. The IN
vestigation conducted by the Stst1
Civil Service Commission through DR..
Wolf is entirely unprecedented and Is
based on giving the people Of the City
Of New York better government and
more efficient service.
