Where Party Lines Vanish.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | am sure that many others must teel
as I do, that the whole attitude OF the more
representative American newspapers during
the past several weeks of tension has been
all that could be desired by those that have
no selfish interests TO serve, but who have as
their chief desire the maintenance OF the
hiphest principles of honor and patriotism
and right. Again and again have | been
struck by the effort of The Tribune, espe-
cially, TO put aside every issue that was not
connected with the UNFOLDING of the coun-
try's honor and with loyalty to the President.
very much doubt whether any country or
any period has ever witnessed finer, higher,
truer, more unsefsh, more patriotic attitude
toward the nations leader than that which
has been displayed by our American press;
in this respect | would place The Tribune
second to none.
1t has been great JOY to read your edi-
torals dealing, as they have, in mastery
fashion with the important questions that
have crowded thick and fast upon us, and
big with matters of national and interna-
,ioral concern. / sincerely trust that your
editorials will be preserved and made avsila-
bic in some permanent form; they are toe
good 70 lose.
The Tribune has almost made me forget
that have been a Southern Democrat all my
life, as were my father and grandfather be-
fore me; and | am confident that the SPLEEN
didly patriotic attitude of the really repre-
sentative American press never forgetting
The Tribune) has made party lines of all
kinds sink into insigniiicance with thousand:

placed upon the one thing of supremely great
importance- country

From City to Farm.
ago

Mr.. George X. Holmes, of the Bureau
of Crop Estimates, Department OF Agrl-
culture at Washington, has analysed ON
ciallv the back-to-the-soil movement, which
on fine spring days seems about to enlist
every blessed one of us engaged IN shop
office or factory. And for all that our
pastoral warnings and threats rise to
heaven like the multitudinous and deep
voice of the sea he finds that precious few
of us ioin the movement-by no means
enough to offset the seepage of country
folk into the cities-and that of those who
do large number become farmers by
courtesy only.
"'Back to the land is a real movement
to agriculture in this country" he writes
IN the Yearbook of the Department OF
Agriculture for 1914, "but it does not con-
form to the descriptions in newspapers
and magazines. 1t is not a strong move
ment. it is not a concerted one, and 1t Is
not actuated by a single-minded purpose
to promote agriculture for agricultural
sake. 1t is largely localized it Is a very
COMPOSITE movement, and it does not create
in kind and characteristics the agriculture
that is prevented by the migration from
farms, nor replace in kind and character
istics that migrated population
Mr.. Holmes is afraid, therefore, that
it does not offer solution Of the high
cost of living problem, though it may be
aelping a lot of dreamers to fill their lungs
with fresh air and their pores with the
sweat of honest effort. But, then, thirt
Of the country's population still remains
productivity agricultural and grows enough
things to eat every year to supply the
home market and sell the rest to Europe
for half billion dollars. 1t will be time
he thinks to consider agricultural con
scrption when the country population has
dwindled, relatively, to the point Of pro
ducing less than sufficient to meet domestic
needs.
And when that time comes, if ever iii
seems reasonably distant to-day, what
with the introduction of labor-saying ma
chinery to farm work and more scientific
farmers the recruits from the ranks Of
city dwellers will have to receive course
of training in preparation for their battles
with nature longer and more thorough thar
that which the members Of Kitchener:
army receive. For Mother Earth is ia
nous for her utter rout Of raw levies.

COMET" WINS MATCHES.

Sea bright, N. J., Aug. 11.-Play in the tennis tournament for the Achelis the second round, the warm sun dry ing out the turf courts, which per- mitted the star racquet wielders to extend themselves. It was another big day for California. Mclaughlin and Dawson each won a match in the single, and when they paired in the doubles, cut loose with the most sen- sational tennis that the tournament has produced. Mclaughlin defeated s. Howard voshell in the singles, 6-1,

 Kid Williams Climb to the Top.
 Kid Williams, the little fellow of the sextet, is a Dane by birth. He pos- sesses all the ruggedness, stoutness of heart and endurance that comes with his race. After he became proficient in boxing when still a youngster he looked at the bantamweight crown with wistful eyes. Johnny Coulon had held and ably defended the title for nearly five years. He lost his father who had been behind him in all his important battles. >Coulon was on the verge of retirement, having been unbeaten Along comes Kid Williams. They met in a ten-round, no-decision bout in New York, Octo- Der IS, 1912. Opinions were divided as to the result. There was no doubt in Williams mind; he sought a longer 1 match with the champion. Nearly | two years of pickering ensued. Final ly Sam Harris, who looked after the financial end for Williams, agreed to hand Coulon $1,000 the moment he stepped into the ring with his protege, and also condescended to give him the lions share of the purse. On June 9, 1914, they met at Los An geles, Cal, and Williams won in three l rounds. Coulon got the money and Williams annexed the title. He has been a big money winner ever since. l He rarely boxes for less than $1,0OO and since the day he won the title. | A1, o1I f1ony Io has earned more than $2O,Ooo by his l ring conquests. He has no bad habits; does not use liquor or tobac- co, and is a perfect little man phy- 1 sically.
 Gibbons Devoted to Wife.

Tho Big Three.

This top looks to be US logical as any other. It isn't probable, though earily possible, that six cubs are to stand the smashing strain to the last week of play.
 The point then arises as to which three clubs will break and which three will come pounding on to the windup.
 Among these three last clubs the Braves must be included because of their proven ability through 1914 to stand the gaff and because of their surge forward in July, when they were reelng swiftly toward the ropes.
 Counting in the Braves, what other two clubs are to be picked for the Garrisonian batter down the stretch? Phillies and Dodgers? Or Pirates and Giants? Or Phillies and Pirates? Or Dodgers and Giants? Having led up to this thrilling climax we'd like to be able to conclude the sequel.

 over the disappointing McGrawites. When a team is not hitting it appears slow and anything but big. That was the case with the New Works yes terday. They were threatened with a shut-out but luckily managed to get their two long hits out of five safeL ties in one inning-the eighth. Be- fore that period only one Giant reachs cd second base. He was Fletcher, who in the seventh inning after two were out, hit single into left field and went to second on a single by Merklc. which Wagner checked with one hand behind second base.
