TO THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-sr: A
curious performance took place at

senator Culbcrson, chairman OF the
Committee on the Judiciary. writes
under that date to the President, asking
him to state the reasons why he nomi-
mated MIR. Brandeis of Boston. Mass. to
he an Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court OF the United states to All a
vacancy In the Georsia-Texas district.
The President promptly replies.
He seems to think that his duty
compels him to select his nominee from
members OF the bar whom he has him
self observed, tested and known. IL
there chance to be capable lawyers In
either Alabama. Georgia, Florida. Lou

opinion Of their professional brett rem
are Mt to be appointed to the bench OF
the supreme Court. and these lawyers
happen not to have been observed. tested
and now by President Wilson. their
names would not he considered, even
though vouched for by Senators.

Why should ire Senate spend time
IN looking into the reputation OF Mr..
Wilson'S friend? Are not the charges
against the character Of Brandeis
~'unfounded"?

ings of American securities amounted
to So 00O.0 600 400. II the foreign hold
ings of American securities s,.ll amount
to 5000. 0O0, 600, what point has he
made favorable to the continuation OF
our present export trade" II the foreign
holdings OF American securities are to
any degree less thar So. 900 600. 600, Il
Is only evidence that capital is with
drawing from this country and Amerl-
can capital will always accompany for
eign capital into richer fields.
II our foreign trade tended to our
prosperity the foreign holdings of Amer
lean securities would increase rather
than diminish; England would own rs
many Of our munit!on plants Us she

II Is an assumption that il is unfor-
tunate to he a debtor nation VII the

culated by C%arranxista %adhcrents, who
apparently support MIR. WILSON'S
words of March 25. The allegation
therefore rests on the utternnces Of
those who ought to know the facts.
and the public In both countries Is In
duty bound to give credence to 1t.
But who are these plOtters against
the peace Of two neighboring nations2
What object animntes men engaged
In this desperate conspiracy? What
end do they seek to attain through a
war that an overwhelming majority
Of the people on both sides Of the line
wish to avoid?
These questions are not answered
by any person in authority. None Of
the numerous rumors is supported by
Official Endorsement. All depend on
reports, some Of untrustworthy origin.
others patiently disreputable. From
responsible oficial quarters we have
nothing except the bare assertion Of
the existence Of plots, without EVIL
dence or specification.
II II was President WILSON'S opin-
ion on March IS that 1.-THE people Of
the United States should know the
sinister and INSCRIPTIONS influences
that are afoot" with the purpose "of
bringing about Intervention in the in
terest Of certain American Of
Mexican properties" the incidents Of
the last three weeks cannot have
caused him to change his mind. II
they have had any effect II must have
been to intensity his ardor for the
exposure Of the villains. for II the
disorder on the border IL the result
Of their Vaccinations they have given
convincing testimony to their power
and influence. This being the case,
why does the President. at the peril
Of the nation. withhold their names
and the details Of their plans from
the people they try to send to war?
Why are they not prosecuted under
the State and Federal statutes and
imprisoned for their crimes7
President WILSON has no right un-
der his oath Of Office to withhold from
punishment the authors Of the blood
thirsty scheme described by him on
March 25 to bring the United States
and Mexico to war.

IRELAND'S
An English Liberal on the State OF the
Green Isle.

To II EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str. The
people OF the Liberal party. which IL the
Democratic party In England. have
been lighting for about a hundred years
TO get seif-government for Ireland. They
have always been baked by the perma-
nent Tory officials, who are always
backed up by the House OF Lords.
A few years age the Lords were fool
ish and arrogant enough to throw out
a budget because Il put a tax OF one
hfth OF n cent on a dollar on their
sacred land. The outcry was 40 great
at this Interference OF the Lords with
the budget, which had always been
the acknowledged business OF the Com
mons. that a bill was brought In and
passed after a nsht by the people to
AXE away the veto Of the House OF
Lords and thereby allow legislation
passed by the House OF Commons. the
elected representatives OF tn. people. TO
become law. With the Lords veto out
OF the way the Common. passed the
home rule or self-government for Ire
land bill. but II had 10 wait three yeats.
or. In other words. y had to be passed
IN three successive years in the Com
mons before u became a law.
Ireland has always been the pawn in
the political game o: the English Tory.
and he saw his prey and his job slipping
away from him as the year 1914 was
10 "A close. Home rule would
soon be on the statute book. and the
Irish people and the democratic English
would have accomplished wha, they had
fought and waited for 80 long.
Luckily for the permanent Tory Irish
onic!als. who are always Englishnen.
