that is the duty, the sacrifice, the unseli-
ishness, the submission of the individual
to the common veal, is an enduring fact.
And II ~ this fact that stands disclosed
10 US to-day In all It's true nobility.
No man can now say how far those
whom we love and send are to march. NO
man or woman can foresee now to what
dangers, TO what perils, they are not Will
ingly but yet with complete consent send
ing those they love. We shall not easily
keep our tears back; we shall not even
in our pride completely control our sor-
row. There has been asked of us the
greatest sacrifice that can be demanded.
We have made it. More one cannot say
But for those who march, with what
wishes for good fortune, with how many
prayers for their safety, with what pride
in their devotion they are going! Their &C
ton has lifted US all out Of the sordidness
Of our everyday concerns, their willing
ness to go has brought new, a nobler
understanding to us Of our country and
our race. Because Of them we have
again lived through a great day-another
great day in our history.
And whatever Of pain, Of trial, Of sacri-
fee may still be demanded Of those who
have gone, Of one thing they must remain
assured: our love, our admiration, our
faith is all with them. What they have
done makes all that we can say seem triv-
ial: it is not by word that we shall even
try to appraise their deeds. They have
not failed us. In so far as we are able
we shall not fail them.

Push for Hughes.
TOR of Tho Trihune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Just why you take part In humiliat-
ing Justice Hughes, the Republican nominee
for President, we cannot surmise, unless 1t is
your dislike for Governor Whitman, who
placed Mr.. Hughes in nomination. The un-
friendly passions you may have for Governor
Whitman are personal and should have no
bearing on the good name of Justice Hughes
You insist that Mr. Hughes shall denounce
the hyphen and that each day Of postpone
ment Of so doing will reduce his vote in No
vember.
We are American through and through and
are equally anxious TO see the hyphen extin-
guished, but cannot accept your word that be-
cause Mr.. Hughes has not at this very mo-
ment recited declaration condemning the
hyphen as you would insert it in The Tribune
is detrimental to his election.
In the early part of the present campaign
you were not particularly interested in any
one of the several prospective Republican
candidates, and it was not until Governor
Whitman announced himself for Hughes that
you Joined the Colonel Roosevelt gathering,
and we all know that The Tribune and the
Governor are not on speaking terms-we
have this from The Tribune. viii you not
lay the Governor aside and come out with Q
push for Hughes? You must, knowing JUS
tice Hughes as you do know that he will in
due time condemn all nationaites who in

day; packs his grip and is on the job at the
Hotel Aston, New York City, on Monday
morning, and yet found time during all
that excitement to dictate a letter of &C
ceptance which ought TO satisfy any good
sound Republican on the hyphen question
or any other subject until Mr.. Hughes gets
chance to catch his breath and make the
preliminary preparations for the coming
campaign. He, Of course, ought and will
listen to all good advisers, but by his past
political record we know he will take no
orders from any boss.

A Sage Brush Tragedy

IlrDu Inc boston HffNidl
II is a pity that Mark Twain is not living
TO write the obituary Of "The Virginia City
New Enterprise" on which he worked in
the bonanza days of long ago. 4 brief news
item chronicles the suspension Of that news
paper; its passing brings back the memory Of
the remarkable boom city where the great
silver fortunes were made a city OF which
but a pitiful ghost survives among the sand
and sage. For years "The Enterprise"
struggled on after the great boom busted"
but Virginia City could not come back
In all the romantic story of the West
there is no chapter more enhancing than that
which tells of the rise of that fabulously
rich mining camp. It was the widest place
that the wild West knew, the richest centre
in the land where millions were made and
lost in a minute. Its days Of glorious pros
perity were only a few years ago, but to the
occasional visitor. whom curiosity draws TO
It's deserted streets and tumbledown shacks,
rs glory seems further in the past then the
mysterious civilization of the Mesa Verde.
The West is full Of lost cities and dead
towns not only the mining regions, but the
prairie states as well-but among them all
Virginia City is in a class by itself. And
the tragedy Of it is that the place does not
know that it has long been dead, and the
people still live, or exist, there who cling TO
the hope that in some magic way the boom
will come back. And in all the sovereign
State Of Nevada-by the way a state about
as large in area as all New England and New
York combined-there are fewer persons
than in the city Of Somerville-and very
different class Of population in the main!

Making New Difficulties in Ireland.

A great deal has been written about
the difficulties offered by the several fac
dons in Ireland to a tolerable settlement
Of the Irish problem But for the fanat-
icism of the extreme Nationalist, or but
for the bigotry and intolerance Of the
Orangemen, all would be well; and if only
Sir Edward Carson would concede this
point, or if only Mr. Redmond would
agree to that, nothing could be easier than
to work out a very satisfactory solution.
Obviously the difficulties began by diff
ferences in Ireland, and it is not alto
gether reasonable to suppose that these
differences can be abolished at once. Bat
there is another difficulty that is not suf-
fciently considered, and it is a purely
English difficulty. 1t is the assumption
on the part of some Englishmen that they
alone are capable Of solving the problem
and that the Irish, because they cannot
agree among themselves, ought not to I've
considered at all. This attitude will not
facilitate the task of those who are try
ing TO clear up the present muddle.
A short time ago one of the London
papers published long criticism of the
Irish character under the title Of Some
Wholesome Home Truths The whole
tendency of this treatise was TO show that
the Irish were constitutionally incompe-
tent unless they happened fortunately 70
have some foreign blood in them. The
Irishman, the writer said, was about the
most unsatisfactory citizen of this great
empire" he was of a weak, ignorant.

or loyalty" and, though Irishmen might
seem generally 20 be faithful 90 their ma

charlatan with a gift Of the CAB they
will turn and murder them The plain
truth was, he explained, that the admixt-
ure of some other race was essential, and

One False Note.
. TO The Tribune.

To the Editor to The Tribune.
Sir: The question is, does The Tribune
support Mr. Hughes, the Republican nominee
for President, or does it not support Mr..
Hughes? Mr. Roosevelt has served the coun-
try superbly in many, many ways, and the
chords OF patriotic Americanism that re-
sponded to his vibrations were true before he
moved them, but the one false note he struck
outlasted all the true.
In measuring Mr. Hughes please get a new
rule. a teddyometer will not fill the bill. Fur
thermore, dear Tribune, put your ear to the
peoples heart. and get the pulsation that
have been getting from hundreds OF your own
readers in various towns. II has been only
in recent years one has heard readers apollo
gze for your views, which means. does il not,
that The Tribune has become bewildered?

the inevitable result has been a general de-
moraization and confusion of public sent-
ment and public conscience
The American people in that crisis and
in the shameful series of others which fol-
lowed stood s:eadfastly ready to back his
play, whatever il might be, willing mean
while to wait and trust him. But during
the weary and humiiating weeks and months
which ensued, while crisis" and grave sit
uation" followed each other thick and fast,
they vainly strove to keep pace with him
in all his devious twistings and doublings
and side steps and somersaults. until they
finally (to borrow the old range phrase got
to milling" hopeessly.
The whole course of the Administration in
its dealings with foreign affairs has been
such bewilderng series OF contradictions
and weak, inconsequential reversals OF policy.
such an insidious and elusive succession of
travely plausible promises followed by re-
peated failures of performance. that the
mind Of the average citizen has become baf-
fed and stupefed and has almost COM
pletely lost its bearings.

Exhaustion in 1861 IS.

FROM The Saturday Ererfr0 Post)
Bclligerent Europe has not yet gone so far
in the destructive way as this country went
in 1876 Wealth Of the nation in 1850
was estimated by the census at Sl6,000000,0o0.
Direct money cost of the war 10 the North
was about S3,25OOOO,OOO, and 10 the South
quite certainly we'll above $1,000, 100000
though exact computation here is difficult. All
together, the direct cost was equal TO about
a quarter Of the total wealth at the beginning
OF the conflict Highest estimates OF the
direct cost Of the European war fall decided
ly short Of that proportion Of the total wealth
OF the belligerents. The number OF men
under arms in the Civil War apparently
reached about per cent Of the total popu-
lation. while. the highest estimate We have
seen Of the number Of men under arms in
Europe amounts 20 something like per cent
of the population Of the warning nations The
ionger the way runs, the less likely seems

or a Waterloo. And II IL Is TO be ended by a
process Of complete exhaustion it seems 20

The Return to Nature.

There is a touch Of the romantic in the
alleged habit Of one Joe Knowles of spend
| ing his summer vacations in the big woods,
alone and after the manner Of Rousseau's
MAN in the State Of Nature" There is
something Of the primitive still lurking
/ in the imagination Of US all. We secretly
envy this man his weeks of solitary free
dom. Herded and cramped as we are by
the restraints of highly developed civil
ization, burdened with the necessity Of
keeping up appearances, who has not had
moments when he longed TO rebel, to
throw off the habiliments and customs of
human society and 90 back and be child
Of Nature, or, as Walt Whitman said, TO
turn and live with animals? If one
could only be sure of finding a sufficient
diet of locust and wild honey to Danish
hunger, and could escape the annoyance
of mosquitoes and the vigilance of scandal
lied rural constables!
For purely literary and intellectual pur-
poses the imaginary return to nature IS a
source Of inexhaustible interest. Psyche
analysts like Freud and Jung would doubt
less tell US that it forms the mental
imagery back of the greater part Of mod
ern Radicalism from Rousseau down to
the most recent apostle of the cult Of an
archism and the League for Free Speech.
The imaginary child Of Nature makes up
half the appeal Of painting and sculpture,
and has been used by writers Of strange
tales Of unrestrained deeds in wild, heroic,
out-of-the-way places, from Daniel De Foe
down TO Stevenson and Conrad
But as a practical method of spending a
summer, one had better compromise and
20 to Provincetown or Far Rockaway.
Students Of sociology have long suspected
that Rousseau's MAN in the State of Nat
ure" was only an eighteenth century fic-
ton. By no manipulation of the social
machinery has society been able to retrace
its steps back to this tabled being.
The same is true in the case Of the in
dividual. Even the nature lover on his
vacation in the Adirondacks carries his
civilization with him, like the English in
the tropics who take along their bathtubs,
razors and dress suits. Man is still a
|tenderfoot; he is only an imitation child
Of Nature Civilization cannot be dis
carded by discarding ones clothes. The
primitive man in US has been crushed un-
der too many generations Of social evolu-
ton. The instincts Of the Nature man still
remain, but depressed if not atrophied, a
half forgotten psychic underworld on the
periphery of our practical life, source of
dreams and fancies, often a corrective of
the abuses and abnormalities of civiiZa-
ton. but no longer affording a realizable
mode Of existence.

A Call for Speech.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir As a Democrat who had determined 20
vote for Colonel Roosevelt or Mr. Root, because
believed those statesmen had more definite
convictions on what | consider to be the
critical issues not only of this campaign
but Of all public discussions for the next
decade, may [ compliment The Tribune for
its endeavor to make Nr. Hughes appreciate
the importance to his success that an early
and definite statement be made Of his in
depreciation OF the words "Americanism -
and "patrotism" and of his programme of
preparedness?
Ny confidence that the English language
meant the same to me IS it did to Mr.. viii
son in 1912 leads me 70 question how in 1920
shall interpret Mr. Hughes's very excel
lent but very broad professions Of 1916.
VIII Mr.. Hughes act in accordance with Mr..
Wilson's written declaration as made in the
first Lusitania note?
Will Mr. Hughes cooperate with Colonel
Roosevelt and General Wood in educating
the people of America TO the necessity and
the valuable indirect results OF compulsory
service. and will he attempt to induce Con-
gress so to legislate?
Will Mr. Hughes permit the German Amer
lean agents and their misinformed followers
to believe that his understanding Of Ameri-
canism is their understanding, and will he
expect 10 receive the votes of free thinking
and independent voting Americans, who dis.
approve the Wilsonian Interpretation Of
Americanism, unless he openly condemns the
numerous Teutonic societies who are 80 ac-
tive in American politics?
