DR.. Marshall Speaks.

A good many master minds individually
and collectively have made attempts 10
diagnose Mexico's ailment. But the riddle
remained unguessed until on Wednesday
DR.. Thomas Riley Marshall, Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States, disposed OF IT,
He was speaking to Chautauquan au-
dience at Peabody, Kan, every member OF
which seriously sought light on the press
ing problems of the day. At least such Is
the jealousy guarded reputation of such
audiences. And he informed it that the
real trouble in Mexico was the lack there
of a vice-president. Presto! the problem
vanishes amid cheers Of gratitude, our
Vice-P President bows himself off as the
band strikes up, and the stage is made
ready for the Swiss yodeers.
While Mr.. Marshall was thus earning in
Kansas the handsome fee which makes it
possible for him to remain in Washington
in the winter, Mr.. Wilson was hurrying
on his special train to the national capital
to deal as best he might with Mexico in
the throes of her vice-presidential famine.
The contrast simply illustrates the eternal
fuss and pother some men make over the
most elementary tasks. Diplomatic confer
ences, the dispatch of battleships, the
aarums of war, and beautiful vacation
mutilated-the President does, indeed, de-
serve the nightly prayers of his unruffled
running mate. But a greater help than
prayer, now that Mr.. Marshall is so close
to the Mexican border, would be an offer
on his part to fill the aching void below
the Rio Grande. On this side we could en-
dure the deprivation in the sacred cause
of peace.

Spanish Sympathies.

The Tribune published last Sunday a
curiously interesting letter from a CORE
spondent in Madrid who undertook to
analyze the popular mind in Spain and to
show why the Spaniards, "in a very large
proportion" are on Germanys side in the
present war. The explanation was not
t,attering to the understanding of the
Spanish people To accept it, it was neces-
sary to believe that in the main the
Spaniards are extraordinarily superficial,
callous to an almost incredible degree,
Ignorant and superstitious, naturally slav-
ish in spirit, and. altogether incapable of
abstract thinking. Without assuming all
this it would be difficult to believe in
what Mr. Geoffroy called "the funda-
mental point of view of the Spanish
mind"
But, supposing he has hit on some of
the essential weaknesses Of the rabble, is
it possible to believe that the more enlight-
cned part of the population are of the
same mind? In short, are the more
thoughtful Spaniards really pro-German2
The counterblast lately published in reply
to the famous manifesto Of the German
lntelectuals justifies a doubt on this
point. 1t is signed by more than seventy
of the most ilustrious Of Spanish philoso-
piers, men of science, medical men, men
of letters and artists, and is as strong as
any of the similar protests from France,
Russia, Portugal, Rumania and Brazil.
All Spanish political parties are repre-
scented among the signatories, and not a
few of the names are of men who have
been highly honored in Germany.
They express the hope that when peace
comes it will be through the triumph of a
Just cause, which will destroy the riot of
egoism, domination and devilish brutality
which led to the catastrophe, and will lay
the foundation of a new international fra
ternity in which force will be directed
towards its true object, namely, the pres
ervation of reason and justice" They
protest against the pusilanimity of Span
ish politicians and the unreasoning pas
sion of "mercenary writers and news
papers," and, speaking as men given to
quiet lives devoted to the pure activities
Of the mind" they declare themselves
thus Eve stand firm on the side of the
Allies, inasmuch as they represent the
ideals of liberty and justice, and there
fore their case comedies with the highest
political intereyts of the nation"

In the Matter Of Barnes.

William Barnes, Of Albany, is closing an
interesting and instructive public career.
He is closing it Enthusiastically.
The Tribune does not purpose wasting
time attacking Mr.. Barnes. This would
be to emulate the heroism of the small boy
who attacks stuffed lions in the taXider-
mist shop.
But as a Republican newspaper The
Tribune ventures to remind the Repub-
lican leaders in the Constitutional Con
vention that even a remote suggestion that
their labors were acceptable to Mr.. Barnes
would damn the labors and the laborers at
the fall election.
Not all of the citizens Of this state were
able to sit on the recent Syracuse jury,
but those whose good fortune it was to
serve were highly representative and have
been indorsed by their fellow citizens.
William Barnes has fought his fight
with the people Of the state. lie has made
his effort to thwart, to retard, to destroy
all efforts at progress. He has demon
strated his view of the people Happily
the jury at Syracuse were able to com
plete the picture.
The last political act of Mr.. Barnes may
be to drag down the product of the present
Constitutional Convention. IT begins &c
look as if this were possible. If the PEG.
pie of the state did not believe they were
done with Barnes they would make almost
any effort to complete the task.
Do the eminent gentlemen spending thi;
mild summer period in the state capita
quite grasp the extent of the popular sus-
picion the reports Of their endeavors are
beginning to excite in other districts of
the State?

Where The Tribune Stands.
Ne have received the following;

We have received the following:
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Several days ago you printed an edi-
torial article saying that Warden OSBORNE
should 90. Do you still think so? Have you
seen new light since then? If so, shouldn't
Won tell the readers on the basis or the
truth-frst to last? READER
Albany, n. Y, Aug IS, 1915.
The question is fair one and The Trib-
une will try to answer it squarely. 1t has
not changed its mind. 1t believes that
Mr.. Osborne should be removed. 1t be-
lieves that if he continues at Sing Sing the
cause of prison reform will ultimately SUI
fer grievously in consequence.
The Tribune based its original state
ment on two things-information 1t be-
Heved and believes accurate as to present
Sing Sing conditions, and knowledge OF
Mr.. Osborne's previous record in the pub
lie life Of this state. This record, it was
satisfied, perfectly demonstrated his tenn
peramental unftness for his present place
as it revealed his course in wrecking other
reform movements.
Believing the situation intolerable and
the end inevitable The Tribune said what
it felt. Its conviction remains unchanged.
1t is satisfied that Mr.. Osborne will have
to 90. 1t is convinced that he should 60
and it fears that when he does 90 1t Will
be after long series of incidents which
will so weary and disgust a public, too
little tolerant anyway, that there will be
swing back to old conditions and the apph-
cation Of ideas which are abhorrent.
The difference between The Tribune ana
many Of those who have criticised 1t hes
in the fact that it does not believe Mr.
Osborne essential to prison reform and
does not believe he is the man on whose
personal fortunes should be staked the
fate of a wholly admirable movement.
This is the truth as The Tribune sees it
and believes it, 1t is therefore glad to
answer its correspondent with the frank
ness he desires.

active and Moral Support
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The United States, after very proper
conference with representatives of South
American nations, has decided to notify the
Mexicans. one and all, that unless they dc
something in one way or another within sixty
DAYS the United States will give to one side
or the other its "active and moral support.
This, like all the utterances of President
Wilson, is of delightfully."- uncertain meaning;
il may mean anything or nothing. The WORD
moral" in this connection is particularly
Wilsonian. When Villa was fighting Huerta
and robbing and numbering non-combatants
right and left, including American citizens
the United States gave him its moral sup
port, and we may say its active" support
also, in a way. Just what is the difference
between our active" and our moral" sup
mort when it comes to Mexican affairs it may
be difficult to state.
In the war between Villa and Huerta we
placed an embargo on the shipment of arms
and ammunition to Mexico, to Villa OF
Huerta, or anybody. We strictly enforced
the embargo on shipments to Huerta and
permitted shipments TO Villa without inter
ference and without limit That might be
said to be either passive or "active" support
Of Villa, as you choose to call it, but it was
certainly moral" according to Wilsonian
standards. What could be more "moral" in
the Wilson idea of such things than the de-
liberate violation by ourselves of our own
embargo, in order that we might help out
the robber bandit who was at that time a
terror TO every man and woman in Mexico
who was guilty of owning property?
This threat of our "active and moral sup
port" now, to be given TO one or another, as
the case may be, names not mentioned, is
confusing. But somehow Villa seems to have
fallen from grace. Carranza, who. in the
days of Villas glory, was not much regarded
in Washington, has been stronger than Villa
apparently, since the two parted company
and became enemies; and this fact has had
its moral influence on our government To
be sure, Carranza has not always spoken re-
spectfuly of the United States and of our
"moral" administration, but upon the princi-
pie that our "active and moral influence
should always be thrown to the stronger Car
ranza's contemptuous expressions about US
may well be forgotten.
Besides, Carranza has never told US out
right, in so many words, to "go TO hell" as
Villa has told US. But the more carefully
one reflects upon our "active and moral infu-
ence" in Mexico, past, present and future, the
more hopelessly confusing the whole subject
becomes We have the assurance, however
from Washington that unless somebody in
Mexico does something within sixty days our
"active and moral influence" will be given to
somebody. This may or may not be enoour-
aging To those who enthusiastically admire
the Wilson vagueness OF expression and con
slant high moral" tone the assurance will
doubtless be entirely satisfactory and very
gratifying. CONFUSED CITIZEN

A Man of Action.

Sheriff Eugene f. Kinkead Of Hudson
County, N. j., the man who conquered the
oil strike in Bayonne, is contemplating a
trip to the front in France, but, alas! as
war correspondent, not as a soldier. 1t
seems a thousand pities, because the
Sheriff would prove such brilliant re-
cruit in the line.
In a recent discussion of what consti-
tutes the finished soldier the quality of
resOurcefulness was put near the head of
the list. In actual campaigning nothing
ever turns out as one accustomed TO text
books and drills and manpuvres is led TO

NJ anding attention which are not included

snJ lergencies, who can break the rules to

to square with every crisis, makes the
best soldier. Obviously, the part fits the
doughty Sheriff as if moulded to his meas
ure.

ness must belong to the war correspond

Peace and the Professors.

No American seeking correct estimate
of German purpose in the present war
should overlook the document prepared by
German professors and setting forth their
views of proper terms of peace. 1t is an
admirable disclosure of what is in the Ger
man mind and was there when the war
began.
Germany, says this excellent academic
document, should annex Belgium and all of
France north of line drawn from Belfort
to the mouth of the Somme River. This,
with certain unfxed inde1nities, is the
price France is to pay to Germany.
Now, exactly what does this mean in
terms of human beings and of territory?
Before the war Belgium contained $780,
600 inhabitants living on about 1000
square miles. The French territory to be
annexed amounts to 27,000 square miles,
which before the war contained 47O0,O0O
people. Germany then, the professors rea-
son, is entitled to take over 12,5000O)
French and Belgian people.
In other words, and the point should be
fixed in American minds, 12,500,00O peo-
pie, four times as many people as there
were in the Thirteen Colonies that fought
our Revolution, are to be placed under an
alien rule, deprived of the right to choose
their own nationality, speak their own
language, to do anything--as one genial
German professor puts it, in discussing the
lot of 100000 Poles similarly held-ex-
cept 'to be looked upon as Helots," and
allowed to pay taxes, to serve in the army
and to shut their jaws tight"
Such proposal patiently runs squarely
counter to all ideas that just governments
derive their powers from the consent Of the
governed; it is purely and simply
proposal to subject more than 100000
of human beings to intellectual, moral and
economic slavery. Now, to what end is
this thing to be done?
ITO insure the true expansion of Ger
man culture. industry and commerce"
Was there ever a clearer, cooler, more
perfect demonstration of the German idea,
the German spirit? Ought not those Ameri-
cans who are busy agitating for American
effort to bring about peace in Europe to
consider this German idea of peace? IS
war, with all its horrors, more terrible to
the 100000 people of France and Bel
GUM than the prospect of peace with slav-
cry held out by the German professors?
Peace that does not restore liberty to
French and Belgian populations now held
in captivity, peace that does not insure the
liberties Of those already free, but included
in the German plans, as revealed by their
professors, would be the hollowest of
mockeries.
There can be no peace until the spirit
and the purpose declared in this document
are disposed Of. Americans will be false to
all this country stands for if they give the
smallest countenance to any effort to bring
about European peace based upon the
slavery of millions to a master whom
they hate and a race which is alien to
their own in everything.

Bethmann- Hollweg and Tirpitz
lFrom VI Mnnchester GnordInnl

tFron The Manchester Guordian)
The quarrel between the German Chancel
Tor and the Secretary Of the Navy, whatever
may become of it just now. is an old one
1t is believed by close political observers
here that Herr Won Bethmann-Hollweg was
against the utimatum which ushered in war
and that Won Tirpitz was one of the chief
architects of war The Chancellor, again, II
is believed, has never been enamoured of the
submarine warfare against merchantmen
while the maintenance of this warfare is the
only thing which prevents Won Tirpitz's rep
utation from vanishing. Intelligent persons
in Germany realize that Won Tirpitz's navaI
policy was the tap-roOt of the Angl German
hostility, and that his navy was mistake
Won Tirpitz slavishly initiated the British
navy, conceived TO suit the needs of this
country, and never worked out a navy
adapted TO the specific needs of Germany
lie put Germany's money into dreadnoughts
and would not listen TO the critics, like Ad-
miral Kirchof, who advocated submarines
Won Tirpitzs dreadnoughts, while provoking
the conflict with this country, have been
quite useless, and on the other hand. when
war broke out Germany found herself with
too few submarines for her needs. II was
only after war began that Won Tirpitz be-
came converted to the submarine, and he is
now its most ardent advocate to cover his
past blunders and to persuade the German
people that the German navy is really giving
them something, for all the money and the
bitterness it has cost them
lie is against any concession to the United
States. because his professional reputation
is fatally involved.

Jam Pot Bombs.


tFrOm the NfntHfNfcr bHdrdidn)
The official prohibition of tins for sending
foodstuiFs to British prisoners of war in Ger
many is intended to cut off not merely a sup
ply Of tin to the enemy, but also ready-made
material for hand bombs. The British troops
at the front themselves make good use OF
the tins in which they receive foodstufs.
Jam tins especially are all used up for bomb
making, and a story recently sent home
from Ypres shows that they cause the enemy
no small annoyance. The jam tins all bear
the name of a well known firm Of British jam
makers let US say, Spooner though that is
not the real name. Sometimes the jam tin
bomb fails to explode, and the Germans
promptly pitch il back into the nearest Brit
ish trench. A week or two ago one such jam
tin bomb was returned with label attached
to it, and on the label was written; "Goit

Penal Reform.
The news columns within a day or so
contained this item:

contained this item:
In Starkville, Miss, two negro murderer:
were hanged. The authorities gave barbe
cue for the crowd of spectators, at which
lemonade and watermelon were served tC
about 5000 farmers, while speeches were
made by political candidates. Watermelon
was served to the murderers just before they
were led to the gallows.
There is little need to dwell on the ut
ter barbarity of the proceeding except &c
point out that with all its hideous anC
grotesque features it represents one COM
munity's idea of penal reform. The two
negro murderers were not lynched, it will
be noted They were hanged by due proc
ess of law, in itself decided concession
to an aroused public sentiment. And that
the hanging might be further robbed of
its humanity, watermelon, dear to the
palate of every darby, was served before
hand to the condemned.
No one will quarrel with the oft Ie-
peated assertion that the practice OF
lynching is a blot on American civiliza-
ton. The Tribune has very recently in
dicated in unmistakable terms its share in
this belief. But in some respects, at least
a lynching, with its grim, retributive set
ting and seemly dispatch, must be con.
sidered preferable to this Roman holiday
however legal, embellished with maudlin
generosity.
Let US by all means have penal reform
whether in Starkville or in Sing Sing
but let US have the sort that cannot cause
public nausea.
