WOULD WELCOME T. R. BACK
Republican Sorry the Colonel Makes
Cooperation Impossible.
,ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Although not "stand pat"
enough for some, | believe The Tfb-
une will WELD great influence IN
broadening and strengthening the Be-
publican party in New York with The
view of benefeent, substantial work ia
the nation at large. ! recognize The
intention Of The Tribune to treat fsir.
ly with the Progressives and thsiy
great leader. believe The Trbaps
and many other worthy, able papers
and men and women everywhere miss
the association and regret the loss Of
cooperation with Mr.. Roosevelt, REALM
ing that in such loss the country must
suffer.
Mr. Roosevelt finds himself in the
hands OF diminished, mostly selish
party, less capable Of conducting TIE
affairs of the country than the Demo
cratic party. They now demand Of
their chief to rise or fall in an atterps
to stem the tide in his own state. 9us
he has not forgotten the fight Of 1910,
and times are less propitious now than
then. Little wonder Mr.. Roosevelt
hesitates 20 subject himself to a sIai-
lar ordeal. lie has no intention thst
retirement shall find him a defeatea
candidate for Governor in his 5wn
state.
Many will recall In the last days Of
the 1910 campaign one night in par
tIeular when Mr.. Roosevelt made nipe
addresses from Grand st. TO I'D ~
The crowds were large and the spoat,,
ers championing of his great frieEe
Harry" Stimson was memorable. NJ
Stlmson, a clean, able man, was de.
feated. Mr. Roosevelt no longer SIS
virtue in his friend, at least in a pfse'
teal way. Until Mr.. Roosevelt shows
th@t he ~ willing to assume some oil
che responsibility for the unhappy rts-
tons between himself and thousandss
OF ms former friends of the stamp q
Harry" Stimsoa, his future will nos
shine and enlighten as IL was wont %
do and should do. ISAAC BOWER

Some Thoughts for MIR. Roosevelt

Colonel Roosevelt has not yet committed himscIt
10 straight Progressive ticket in the state cam
paign. but he is giving attentive ear TO Mr.. Bird
and Mr. Robinson. who want one. His approval
of their scheme would practically put an end 10
any fusion Of Progressive and Republican voters
10 defeat Tammany It is to be hoped he will
consider the matter long and hard before giving
such approval.
In 1916 It is quite possible Colonei kooseVeiV
will desire some kind of union OF Progressive ana
Republican votes in the national campaign HIS
eve is frankly on the future. Ii would he bad
precedent for 1916 il he made a union against
Tammany impossible here in 1914

Where Whitman Is Appreciated.

1t is not at all surprising that one Of the earliest
booms for Mr.. Whitman as Governor should crack
the rural quiet of Queens. The contrast between
Mr. Whitman's services to his county as District
Attorney and the lamentable spectacle offered py
Matthew j. Smith, District Attorney of Queens
has no doubt impressed itself upon the magma
ton of Queens politician and plain voter alike.
With the case of Heffernan and Scanlon and
their official defender fresh in mind 1t is little
wonder If they obey an impulse to root for one
who as a public officer embodes all that Curly
Joe" Cassidy's puppet lacks. That's the kind of
man they want in public office.

WHAT CAUSED DEPRESSION
A Loser Cites Local Instances OF I'm
fair Political Criticism.
ditnr of The Trihune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When | read the letter OF
Geofge R. Bishop about Florida busi'
ness conditions which might interest,"
the President. under the apt and
singing caption, "More Psychology |
was reminded that for the last three
years Oklahoma City, Muskogee and
many other cities ami towns in the
State of Oklahoma have been in the
business doldrums. In Oklahoma City
probably fifty firms have gone out OF
business, and the pinch of hard times
has been keenly felt; fortunes have
been reduced and a number of people
have gone broke, the writer included.
As Mr.. Bishop profoundly remarks
"the facts of the situation are too IN
tolerable to be ignored and the PresI-
dent may as well realize this first as
last and withhold his devastating
hand" OF course, there's logical dit
ficulty, but what does that matter
among friends, Republicans and polI-
ticians? In Oklahoma we had the
drouth and the hot winds simultane-
ously with a period of reaction natuE-
ally following an abnormal growtA
while in Florida they are suffering
from the rude awakening of real es-
tate and land boom; simply another
case where actualities did not measure
up to anticipations of growth and de-
velopment. Then, again, We had hard
times in Oklahoma while yet Presdert
Taft and high tariff were the order Of
the day, and the foundation of the IN
evitable hard times was being laid in
Florida during thaa administrator
also.
But what boots it? Eyerything's fair
in love and war-and politics! On with
the dance Of demagogy; let's put 4
squarely up to the President and
paralyze that devastating hand"

Sir: / am deeply distressed by the

miEistration, we are all agreed that the
right administration could and would

try at S5,000,000. Ii they do not want

THE BIBLES TRUE FUNCTION
Correspondent Goes Back to First
Principles in His Exposition.
;tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: do not doubt but that to the
mind of every educated man there mas
come at some time the question, HOY
did I. nv forefathers, the universe IT.
self, come to be in eXistence?
How did the planets come to be IN
existence? From what, out OF what !;
II. as one theory has it, dust filled
ali space and finally came together,
where did this dust come from? And
so with every theory set forth-one
finally reaches a point where all rea-
soning fails.
The mind is forced to the conclusion
that there is q Supreme Being, who by
stupendous power created out of n9th-
ing the universe and all therein. Then
how did this Supreme Being come to
be in existence? We can only accept
that verse OF the Bible which is to the
effect that ." God am without begin
ming or end" statement which IS
truly beyond the comprehension OF the
human mind But then neither can
the mind comprehend the dimensions
of the physical universe, the attempt
to describe which merely results in the
statement, at is infinite"
Consider mans instructive fear OF a
dead human body From a purely
physical point of view this dead BODY
is simply matter. matter being any
thing that occupies space. Ii has Iooi
value, and would sustain life in living
animals. In fact, science tells us fnat
certain minute living organisms, known
in everyday language as germs OF de-
cav" will feed upon it until it is cn-
tirely consumed and nothing is left but
the bones. And yet the ordinary man
makes haste to bury this body with APP
propriate religious services. Why?
Simply because he, not through reason
but through instinct, realizes that this
body, composed chemically of the very
elements that in different combinations
make the inanimate objects by which
he is surrounded, has lately harbored
I something which is not physical and
of which his five physical senses are
incapable of receiving any impression;
that which he calls soul"
What becomes Of this soul after
DEATH. e., when it leaves the physi-
cal body? Undoubtedly it must 20
somewhere. Does it wander at will
about this world of ours or through
out the universe? The physical uni
verse is controlled by certain immuta-
bic laws, such as the law OF gravita-
ton, etc, and all matter obeys these
laws absolutely. Is that which is
spiritual without law? Is the spiritual
world in state of chaos? Undoubt-
eddy not Life in this world points 10
the fact that to have order there must
be head; in the body all control is
lodged in one place.. c., the brain
Thus we arrive at the conclusion once
more that there must be a head in Tire
spiritual world, a Supreme Beng
which, brought down to the level OF
everyday life, means the Bible and ali

SAYS MAN RULES COLORADO
Women's Votes as lmpotent There
He Thinks, as They Always Will Be.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. s. S. Saunders in to-day's
Tribune tells US that Colorado had
terrible strike tby menu" that "the
state militia (men) were unable TO
control the men who were striking
and the men who owned the mines"
He then goes on to say that the
women did not resort TO arms, but de-
manded that the Governor do as they
told him as regards securing federal
troops.
Mr.. 6. evidently overlooked the fact
that this action of the women was as
ansrehistic as that of the men, and
that il took the strong right arm of
man (brute force, il you will and not
women's votes to bring about order.
In other words, it seems that men
not only started the trouble but ended
it as we'll. Man is in the saddle in
Colorado. Women's votes are counted,
but they DO not count as to ultimate
result in government. 1t was always
thus, and so it will be until the Gre.
ator secs fit to change the elementals
of human nature. j. X. FINGER.

Unclean Restaurants.

We only hope that Miss Marie Orenstein is not
one of those unfortunate New Workers who must
eat at least one meal day in public restaurant
otherwise her inspection of New York restaurants
for the Labor Department approaches martyrdom
There is, after all, something decidedly wrong
about the arrangement of this city Of ours which
greatly intensihes the evils of congestion. With
a large part of its business activity squeezed into
the tin end Of Manhattan Island, hundreds Of
thousands of its citizens find it necessary to eat
luncheon in district which at dinner and break
fast time finds itself almost completely deserted
The proprietors of restaurants in this district
therefore, can count on profitable patronage only
in the middle of the day. and then to Offset the
deness Of their plants during the remainder of
the twenty -four hours they stun great hordes of
hurrying patrons into minimum of rent paying
space and drive at them hocks of stumbling, per-
spring walters almost smothered under orders
Of food No patron expects proper service in the
dining room Of one of these restaurants. And he
usually shuts his mind to all thoughts of what
may be the counterpart of this confusion in the
kitchen.
But Miss Orenstein actually penetrated into
those receSeS before whose portals the Imagination
falers. She visited thirty-fve restaurants, nearly
all Of them in the business section of Manhattan
Fifteen of them she found fairly Clean" sixteen
4dirty" and four absolutely filthy
Under the circumstances it seems surprising
that she found fifteen fairly clean For the rest
il should give us pause to realize that probably
most of us have sampled at least one Of them on
occasion.
