Senator Charles Sumner, OF Massach hui

The newcomers. keen for news OF
the fall of Richmond. listened eagerly
TO what Lincoln told them OF his visit
70 the fallen Confederate capital.
Tfey were impressed that his only
preoccupation was the necessity OF
wfping out the consequences OF war.
When he went with them for a drive
through Petersburg they were struck
by his stopping his carriage to exam.

The Marchers for Suffrage.

1t is to be hoped that every woman
who believes in equal suffrage will march
in the great suffrage parade tomorrow
if she is able 20 do so. It is equally de-
sirable that every man who wants women
TO vote should, if able. express that view
by taking his place in the parade Inc
suffrage parades have always been impress
sweat first because Of the sheer grit
required Of the men and women In the
line: later. lecause Of the number and
representative character Of the marchers.
This one. on the eve of the election, should
be an outstanding demonstration of the
enthusiasm and numbers Of the suffra-
gists.
Such showing as can be made II al'
who can will march will furnish incon-
trovertible evidence Of the earnestness and
serious purpose Of the women who seek
he ballot. There are still many skepticS
VINO need to have their doubts on that sub
ject removed; indeed, the fact that the
failure of the women to carry the New
Jersey election has been hailed as q turn
of the tide" and a demonstration that the
Sane" portion Of the country will never
accept wild Western "isms' proves how
fan that notion has been carried. There
is no one thing more important to do in
the suffrage campaign now than to uproot
that idea II remains for the marchers
in the suffrage army tomorrow to show
by their numbers and morale that though
they may lose a battle here and there they
can never be conquered.

Abolish Sheriff's Feesl

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ! have read with amazement the state
ment that the fees paid TO the sheriffs Of
New York County during the last nine years
have averaged something like $4,000 q year.
II would seem that such a state Of affairs
should not be permitted. Surely the salary
Of the office, $4,000 n year, is sufficient re-
muneration for any incumbent. 1t is small
wonder that Tammsny Hall would rather
elect a Sheriff than any other county officer.
For my part. believe the voters should grasp
this opportunity TO elect as Sheriff the pres
emit Under Sheriff, MIR. Bowers, who is run
ming on the Republican ticket, and who has
publicly declared that he favors the abolition
OF the fec system. Certainly it would hardly
be expected that tho Tammany candidate, Mr..
Smith, will seek TO have such legislation
passed In these days of constantly increas-
ing taxes the county should receive ell the
fees. instead Of only half Of them. as at pres
ent. and $50 900 n year would be welcome
addition to the county's revenues.
Therefore. though ! am not Republican,
but an independent Democrat ] intend TO
vote for Mr.. Bowers as a protest against the
continuance Of system by which the Sheriff
Of this county receives an income almost
equal 20 that Of the President OF the United
States. HUGH J. MINDER.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Hardly day has passed Of late
without my wishing to write and tell you o.
my admiration for the editorials you have
printed regarding the war, our duties in IN
ternational matters and the need for pre-.
paredness.
Your editorial "The Sham in this morn.
ing's Tribune. is not only one Of the fines,
editorials have ever read, but one Of TIE
finest expressions of enlightened opinion on
matter the Importance OF which cannot be
exaggerated The man who produced such q
political essay in two weeks time woqld
have spent his time well. while considered IS
an example of daily journalism it is perfect
marvel
The history of the war, the history o'
American folly during the war as written
b. The Tribune is real history, and one can
fancy an American historian Of fifty or
hundred years hence looking it over, in the
light of his country's disaster, and rejecting
upon the clear, prophetic vision Of the man
who was writing editorials for The Ne"
York Tribune away back in 1915
| fear, however, that The Tribune has not
only a copyright on its editorials, but that
it might almost have one, also, on the SOUND
ideas back of those editorials. Is there any
sign to indicate that Americans have really
awakened TO their danger and their need OF
preparation? There is much talk, yet when
Mr.. Garrison comes out with an utterly made
quate military programme there Is no gres'
cutlery from the people, and when Mr. Dan
iels comes out with another inadequate pro-
gramme for the navy there will be none

ir the United States. What hope is there'
Our history is one Of invariable unprepared'
ness. and of disaster because Of It, save
where good fortune interposed-w which M
deed, it has done repeatedly in the mo"
extraordinary manner.
Another editorial subject which suggests
itself TO me is that Of naval speed. und"'
stand that Mr. Daniels is just laying down
some 3O-knot destroyers, and that his new
programme will call for lot Of dread
noughts rather than lot OF battle cruisers
Il seems TO me that 30 knots for a destroy"

American people is that when Daniels say

British Gentlemen ard Unsuspicious

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I hold no brief from Great Britain 70
reply to your editorial of to-day, entitled
"The SHAM" but as criticism assists in bring
ing out the truth il ght be we'll TO present
the facts.
One reason for Great Britain not having
n large standing army is that as she did not
expect to be engaged in a Continental war,
It would have been menace and in direct
oppostion to her desire and plans 20 main
tain peace. and a potent factor was that a
solemn treaty had been made 10 observe the
neutrality of Belgium by the three great
powers It would not enter into the mind of
gentlemen British and French statesmen
that the signature of the German statesmen
was made with mental reservation. not to be
observed when it suited the purpose because,
as now claimed, necessity and expediency
knows no law. Do you absolve a thief be-
cause he wants and takes your possessions?
Your ingenious statement that to reach
al arrangement with Germany Great Britain
could have agreed 10 resign certain British
possessions. 20 surrender to German purposes
some of its friends like Portugal, whose
colonial possessions Great Britain had guar
anteed," is the strangest conception Of
British character that has ever been
suggested.
No British government could have existed
ar hour tn It introduced such a measure.
To bring it home Would you, an Ameri-
can, tolerate under any circumstances being
"swapped" and ruled over by some one in
shining armor and with mailed fist, who cared
not for your home, your interests and con-
nections, so long as he could sit in the sun?
You state that the British nation had gone
into an unexpected war believing that IT
would last n few months at most. Now, sir,
the columns Of The Tribune show that this
is not exact, as Kitchener stated that it
would take three years, and he did not de
spise the enemy. The noble few" Kit
chener's contemplate little army" did their
duty in their effort TO prevent the rape Of
Belgium, and you may rest assured that if
it had been announced from five to thirty
years ago that it would take place it would
have been prevented
Sixteen times you designate the British
Ministry as liars and decevers, but ! think
you have got the Britons and Cretans mixed.

Cretans and inwardly sluggish"

IMAGINATION Of Europe. first famed up
Serbia raised the old standard and under
an Obrenovitch and a karageorgovi'ch
did for the Serbs what France ana Eng
land did for Greece.
In a century Serbia has marched far
toward the olden glory. Her victories IN
the two Balkan wars have won back old
provinces. retaken the field OF hossoyo'
and after five centuries a Serbian prince
has entered Uskub. the ancient capital Of
Dushan. Across the Austro-Hungarian
fronaer millions Of subjugated Serbs have
heard and Needed the voice Of race and
the call Of ancient liberty.
Now, after five centuries and half. the
storm has come again. A new kossoyo.
like that for which for half a thousand
wears the Serb of the Black Mountain has
worn mourning band on his cap, seems
impending. Once more Serbia is holding
the gate against the barbarian, against
the foe Of all that Western civilization
means. and once more she is sinking under
the terrible blows Of a gigantic enemy.
In a time when the rumble Of every
vehicle Of modern civilization breaks
on our ears and across our eyes passes IN
procession all the latest mechanism Of the
Twentieth Century, there is going on Just
beyond our horizon, but in plain, garish
daylight. q tragedy which recalls that

Galician triumphs have faded
away. when KaiSers and Cars and big
ministers and little ministers have been
