No More Liquor Advertisements.

From to-day on The Tribune will pub
lsh no alcoholic liquor advertisements
We have discontinued this sort of adyer-
Using purely as a matter of business
policy. We are not going to declare war
on the manufacture, sale or use OF alco-
hoiic liquors. We do not believe that con-
ditions in this state are ripe yet for pro-
hibition. We think that it is wiser 70
leave to individuals-at least for the pres
ent-freedom to choose between use and
non-use of alcoholic stimulants.
But as a matter of business policy we
recognize the fact-emphasized more Tor
cibly as each year passes-that indulgence
in alcohol is incompatible with efficiency
in any field of effort. In industry
trade and transportation, as well as IN
artistic and professional pursuits, the man
who uses alcohol habtually imposes on
himself a serious disability.
When alcohol is mixed with business 1t
is alcohol which profits. not business. 1t
is our conviction also that when alcohol
is mixed with advertising 1t IS alcohol
which benefits, not advertising.
The Tribune is setting new standards OF
quality. 1t intends TO keep its advertising
columns select and unimpeachable 1t
wants to eliminate from them all traces
Of evil or even suspicious association. We
feel that liquor advertisements will not
help to attract to us either the readers or
the advertisers whose patronage we espe-
cially desire. We have therefore decided
TO drop liquor advertisements altogether

The Ministers Are Not Duped

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your sporting columns yesterday
and to-day the ministers who approved The
Americans" anti-prizefght crusade are made
70 appear as veritabe "innocents abroad.
The implication of your criticism is that be-
cause THE American" wrote up the fight
prior to and after its occurrence, therefore all
editorial denunciation of it is worse than
useless.
Your horror at the awful inconsistency OF
a newspaper making financially profitable a
moral campaign is really amusing. Do you
suppose that all your readers believe your
exploitation of the child. Marjorie Sterrett
and her puerle battleship scheme is simon
pure patriotism? When THE American
smtes the prizefghting business we believe
that it means to smte that business, and
since the sporting crowd has been so greatly
stirred up about it We now believe that "The
American" has actually dealt that accursed
business a real blow. We do not need to be-
lieve that THE American has precisely the
same motive as the Christian minister, any
more than we need to believe that The Trib-
une has the same motive in announcing d
church service that preacher has.
asked my cooperation in preventing the estab-
lishment of an ditonal saloon in the neigh
borhood. [ most gladly cooperated. Their
motive was clearly commercial; mine was
moral. They were moved by desire 10 re-
strict the saloons. SO was !. The Ameri-
can" is evidently moved by desire TO stop
in New York. Because there
may be no higher motive than simply its
stoppage, we, as cooperating ministers, are
not, therefore, either dupes or hypocrites.
In return for the admirable suggestion OF
Scripture text would respectfully refer the
sporting editor to another text, Philippians,

Koepenick Restaged.

No one will dispute the contention of
Ernest Schiller, the lone pirate OF the
Matoppa. that he is zone German with an
idea" But once there was another Ger
man with an idea not dissimilar. Ten
years ago Wilhelm Weight, an elderly shoe
maker of Berlin, became by virtue Of a
secondhand uniform Captain of Reopen
lex" 1t was his idea that one could get
away with much in the name of the Kaiser.
In view Of which we might almost accuse
the clone pirate" Of plagiarism.
But there can be no doubt of the ideas
effectiveness on both occasions Possibly
the good burgomaster Of Koepenick, If he
has survived the international mirth oc-
casioned by his ready submission, still be
lieves that a real captain Of the First Guard
arrested him and his councillors and seized
the town treasury. 1t is certain the I'M
fortunate skipper of the Matoppa finds it
impossible not to believe that his vessel
is sown with bombs and that the zone
German with an idea" is in reality an
agent of Prussian frightfuness and eff
cheney.
"This fellow is no fool" he protests.
Gle may be acting foolish now, but he
was pretty sharp when he took over the
ship"
All, captain, it's no use. No protesta-
tons can check the cruel laugh which roars
round the world.
The Moving Finger writes; and having
writ
Nor all your tears.
And yet the joke is not entirely at your
expense. All Of us must acknowledge a
share Of the debt, particularly those OF
US who laughed loudest at Koepenck ten
years ago.
Ten years ago we laughed at the potency
Of the Prussian spectre in Prussia. But
here we are to-day laughing, or trying TO-
over its equally hypnotic influence within
sight Of the Jersey coast on the deck Of a
British tramp, four thousand miles from
Koepenick. Somehow. when we put it that
way, the comedy of the "lone pirate" the
zone German with an idea" doesn't seem
so all fired funny. Except possibly to the
burgomaster and good people of Koepenick

m HEROIC MOOD
Not Necessarily to Wage War,
but to Prepare for Peace.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune il one Of our coun-
try's most fearless, able and influential ex-
ponents of true Americansim. It, editorials
are divorced from petty, partisan prejudice.
The unstinted support accorded President
Wilson when that executive has strlven to
defend the nations honor and assert the
rights OF American citizens during the Eu-
ropean war has attested the political broad
mindedness of The Tribune no less than
its criticisms Of the Administrators for
eign policy, when. infected with Bryanisp,
sv.ayed b. the pacfsts and moved by po-
litica ambitions, the Administration has
shifted and vacillated. | am one of the I'M
counted thousands who believe in the execu-
tive capacity, political sagacity, lofty Ameri-
canism and stanch manhood of Theodore
Roosevelt. His splendid record of seven and
one-half years as President of the United
States demonstrated his qualities of lead
ership and added lustre 70 the pages OF
American history. His Presidential incum-
boncy was not darkened by the participation
Of the United States in any war; thus yindi-
eating confidence in his capability TO pre-
serve peace. The award TO him Of the
Nobel prize is silent tribute 20 the ser
vice he rendered mankind in the cause of
peace. American prestige Was never more
potentlv felt among the nations OF the world
than during the time Theodore Roosevelt
was in the White House. And it may be
added that American citizens travelling
abroad in the peaceful pursuit OF their leglt-
innate avocations did not rely for protection
upon the novelty Of international note writ
ing that constituted devious diplomacy
Subsequent events have justified the
course of Roosevelt and confirmed his pre-
dictions. To-day the country needs him, and
both the Republican and Progressive parties
will do well to bury minor political differ
onces, meet upon the common ground OF
service to their country and mankind and
unite with him as their standard bearer IN
the Presidential campaign of 1916.
When international law has been repeated
Is violated by Germany, and her tardy prom
ises broken almost as soon as given; when
fresh disasters to American citizens travel
ling on unarmed liners have followed con
tinued delay to obtain redress for previous
wrongs: when Belgium. outraged. crushed ana
bleeding. but with her soul unconquered,
stands as warning and an inspiration, the
times, indeed, demand that the Chief Magls-
trate Of the United States shall be man
with mood heroic. not necessarily that war
may be waged. but rather that peace shall
be preserved by preparedness; that the ma
tons honor shall be kept unsullled, her
rights asserted and her citizens defended
that to posterity shall be transmitted that
priceless heritage willed to every American
citizen by the heroic sons Of l776 and 1861.

Undesirable Evidence.
of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Correspondents in Washington must
be somewhat naive if they really believe that
the evidence of the pieces of metal said to
have been found on the Sussex and to DC
part of a German torpedo will have the
slightest influence in convincing the Admin
istration Of the oulpability of the German
Admiralty. Previous experience shows that
the British government will merely be vast
ing time and trouble in submitting these
fragments Of metal to the examination of ex-
perts of the United States.
The present case. in this particular aspect,
is exactly paralleled by that of the Hesperisn.
piece of metal was found on the Hesperians
deck, was submitted for examination to naval
experts of the United States, and was unhesi-
tatingly declared by them to have formed
part of torpedo. Thereupon the Admin
istration promptly rushed to cover by de-
claring that there was not sufficient evidence
to show that this particular piece of metal
had actually been picked up on the Hes
pertains deck this in spite of the fact that
the captain of the Hesperisn made affidavit
that il was so found. y.

Our Aviators in Mexico.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Were it not for the seriousness OF the
tact. the sending of eight unqualified aero
planes into Mexico with our equally unquall-
fed army would be laughable.
VIII the backbone of our government at
Washington ever stifren? Will this govern
ment ever learn that its milk and water
tactics of the past and present must come to
an end? Faint heart never won fair lady,
and never will the faint methods of the half
hearted Administration preserve our fair
land.
have read with interest your able editorial
in to-day's issue. entitled "Our Aviators in
Mcxico" and from between its lines | have
extracted the following:
Eight little aeroplanes DER the border went,
Ordered into Mexico by the President.
Two little aeroplanes soon got in a fix,
Just put out of business then there were
six.
Six little aeroplanes went TO meet the foe,
Hunting Villas bandits down in Mexico.
Four little aeroplanes soon their limit flew,
Down they came to Mother Earth-now there
are two.
