DemobiIized Grand Opera.

As the days go by and we gradually begin 10
realize that this general European war or when
We seem TO have been dreaming is not a nightmare
but an actually. there come to mind the different
threatened deprvations and changes in our lives
which such a vast conflict will cause though three
thousand miles away For example, what are We
to do for tenors and barytones when the grand
opera season opens?
When one listens TO the warblinGs OF the sublime
"Carsc7 one is apt to forget that this embodiment
of a voice is in another capacity, simply an Italian
subject with brains enough TO obey orders. shout
ders strong enough for the musket and the blanket
roll and legs sufficiently stout to propel the en-
scmble As such he must obey his country pos
sible summons TO mobilization And the same is
true Of those other artists, Scott and Amato and
Toscanini all Italians and likely TO pass the re-
cruiting officers inspection And what is true OF
the Italian is true Of the French and German and
Austrian and Russian singers. They are, most of
them at any rate, abroad now, and whether their
hearts beat with patriotic eagerness for the fray
or with regretfu trepidation they must hold them
selves in readiness TO fight.
There is, perhaps, a ray Of hope for our grand
opera season in Italys expressed intention OF re-
naming neutral. But neutrality in the midst 81
such conflict must be defended. Italy, like llol-
land and Belgium and Switzerland, will find it
necessary to mobilize. Will this mean the drafting
OF her songords? We shall have TO wait and see.
As for Rudolph Berger and Carl Burran, the
Austrians Ress, Goritz We'll, Braun, IIageman
and Morgenstern, the Germans; Gilly, Ananian

The War Hits Baseball.

Hard knocks have been the lot of the great
American game this year For most OF them the
leaders are themselves responsible and the net
result has been to send gate receipts down to their
lowest ebb and to send one owner after another

Now comes the sport of war TO give baseball It's

boards and hurl army corps this way and that

was more unmilitary people than we Americans
Even soldiers at peaceful concerns arc rare sights
in our eyes, and the great military problems upon
which Europe has fed for centuries mean next 10

Also. few present day Americans have any
realization of what tragic business war is. So
from office boy up TO the boss, we can tackle the
Armageddon Of Europe with the same carefree as

NOMINEE OF A BOSS
So Republican Calls Human, Whose
Associations He Deplores.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS reader of The Tribune for
more than half century, may | take
the liberty of expressing my regret
that it has adopted for its candidate
for Governor the nominee of the most
arbitrary, not to say the most dan
gerous, boss that has ever held sway
in our state or nation?
The private life and the past polit-
ical character of the nominee arc mat
tiers of indifference in such case.
AS a Republican who has voted for
every nominee Of his party Cor Presi-
dent, from Fremont to Taft, and for
every Republican nominee for Gov
ernor of this state, would greatly
regret the necessity of refusing TO
vote the Republican ticket this au-
tumn, as l would have TO do were a
candidate with the associations of
your candidate nominated. The Re-
publican party can afford 70 be beaten;
it cannot afford to be led by a boss
who makes q virtue of decrying les
ser bosses.

Mr.. HINMAN'S PRINCIPLES
Are They Republican or Rooseveltian,
IL Is Asked.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIT: Mr.. Hinman takes great credit
for his bravery in flouting Barnes, but
has he enough real courage to state
where he stands on the particular prin-
clples about which the Republican and
Progressive parties differ?
1t IS always commendable to try TO
remove the malign influence of corrupt
bosses, but that is not the sole and only
tflng 10 be considered. The Governor
OF the state, in addition to being our
Chief administrative Office, has a very
great influence over our legislation. IL
Human we're Governor would he exer-
else that influence and power cen
slstently with the principles of the
Republican party, or would he endeavor
To commit the state to Roosevelt poll
cies?
Without discussing woman's suffrage
and some other Roosevelt ideas, let me
remind you of the fact that Roose-
welt has time and time again bitterly,
eaVagely assailed the courts in this
state as we'll as in the nation and mas
represented himself as striving with
the utmost zeal TO put the recall into
operation. When you begin TO tinker
with the structure OF the judicial arm
OF the government of the state you are
undertaking something that is of vital
concern TO every one, and il is there
fore OF the utmost Importance. chat
people should know what principles OF
government are embodied in the man
they are asked to vote for.
II Mr.. Human has convictions and
has the courage Of his convictions he

he stands. lie will either repudiato the
Roosevelt policies mot by saying he is
Republican, but by naming them, Just

PROHIBITION AND DRUGS
Use of Latter as Prevalent Where
Liquor Is Abundant.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. In view of the claim by OPP
ponents of prohibition that drug using
is most prevalent and serious where
the sale of liquor has been prohibited.
| wish, while the matter is still fresh
in the public mind, to call attention to
the extent of the drug traffic in New
York, where there is certainly no lack
of liquor, as indicated by the immense
amount of news and comment in the
New York papers
The opponents of prohibition argue
that il "a prohibitory law is not en-
forced it should be repealed, yet no
body seems to be arguing for a repeal
of the drug law.
] desire also to call attention to the
traffic in drugs in the prisons as ind:-
eating how little regard the political
appointees of corrupt liquor organ
ization like Tammany have for any law
which they are supposed TO enforce.
IL is also noteworthy that the re-
cent National Convention of Alienists
and Neurologists put alcohol first in
the list of the causes of insanity and
arrangement, and drugs lower down in
the scale.

PRAISES OUR POLITICS
Congratulations from Montclsir Man
on the Support Of Human.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: note in to-day's issue one OF
your readers is ashamed Of the stand
you have taken in backing a so-called
Roosevelt candidate, when really was
just beginning to feel trifle proud OF
YOU. In fact, several times in the last
six months you have seemed 70 be on
the verge Of coming forward, but APP.
parently had not quite the nerve"
But you will agree with me that 1t Is
better to take one step forward and
hold your ground than to take two
forward and rcccde three.
By the way, / wonder if these hard
shell Republicans still think Roosevelt
wants the governorship nomination
Probably so.
am also curious to know how many
votes Mr.. Keppel thinks Barnes and his
kind won for the Republican party in
the last election.
As one outside of your state. allow
me to congratulate you on your pres
ent stand. II. Is. STRAIT, JR.

THE VOTE AND THE FAMILY
Former Does Not Disrupt the Latter,
It's Commended.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Who was the inventor of that
ridiculous perpetual notion" that to
permit women to vote would cause
disruption in families" and "overbur-
den women,P as again brought up in

Was il not The Tribune that printed
the statement of a number Of judges
in Colorado, who stated that in the
twenty years that women have been
voting in that state they had never
heard the question of politics entering
into any case Of disruption" Of any
family?
Ii would be far more reasonable 10
prevent women from belonging 10
church, because differences in reli-
gious belief have caused disruption Of
families"
As for "oyerburdening the women
