STRAIGHTFORWARD Americanism

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ! wish to add my thanks to those Of
many Of your readers for your straightfor-
ward Americanism.
We have much TO be thankful for when
We have ono paper which has neither been
blinded nor bought by German "kultur' or
"kale" a paper which is able TO see beyond
the pleasant phrases which 50 please and
dgzzle the eyes OF our Washington dplo-
mats. We have wasted American lives in
Mexico. We have seen Americans murdered
on the high seas, and still those who mis-
represent US in Washington shout by the
hour because Of the loss Of American dollars,
due 10 the blockade of Great Britain. Some
Of them have not read the thoughts Of their
constituents some OF them haven't heard
f,om home.
often wonder just what these cultured
Statesmen would have done had they been
the recipients Of embalmed beef and numer-
Gus other delcacies handed out during the
Snanish-Amcrican War b. bunch OF Off
Gals whose patriotism just about equalled
theirs.
I'm the words Of Patrick Henry say, Give
us Teddy or give US death" lie would know
how TO answer some Of these notes and his
frst answer would be much better reading
than our 9,999th note as at present.

cans. Spaniards and other aliens under It's
jurisdiction. Yet once the sovereignty OF
the new native republic is acknowledged
these guarantees will be of no greater
value than the ordinary guarantees OF our
treaties with republics subject to anarchy
like Mexico and Hayti. In order TO en-
force them new military occupation
would be necessary.
There is no comparison between the
political capacity of the Cubans and that
of the Filipnos. The control we exercised
in Cuba after the Spanish war was iim''eu
and indirect. whereas our control and title
in the Philippines have been absolute. we
did not leave Cuba until we obtained the
sweeping guarantees of order ana s'a-
MISUNDERSTANDING the right TO intervene
contained in the Plat amendments to me
Cuban constitution. Yet the Clarke
amendment binds us to leave the Phlllp-
pines without the concessions we demanded
from Cuba and without any express pro
vision whatever for future American IN
PREVENTION.
If we expect to be called on to inter
vene in the Philippines after we have once
gotten out. it would be much better not 10
get out If we do get out we might as
we'll reconcile ourselves to letting Ameri-
cans and American property IN the fhii-
ippincs take chances with all other aliens
and alien property, just as they are now
doing in Mexico. If we quit abjectly I'M
der the Clarke scheme it would be only
logical for our government to put national
pride far enough aside to beg Japan TO
care in the future for Americans and
American interests in the Philippines.
Thanks TO the brutal candor OF the
Clarke scheme the country now sees just
what an abasement of self-respect and
what a surrender of national honor are IN
volved in this proposed hasty and cow
ardly retirement. Will the American peo-
ple submit to such faint-hearted evasion
of duty. such a gross betrayal of American
traditions and character?

Retain the Nautical School.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Governor Whitman has recommended
that the Nautical Schools training snip New
port be discontinued
While the majority OF the press OF the
United States is recommending an increased
merchant marine, Il behooves us at this time
to find the officers TO man such ships. The
chief instructor Of the school, | understand.
is in favor OF not only retaining the training
ship Of the size OF the present vessel, but
al, COATES the use OF a vessel as large again.
While this would increase the cost probably
20 or 30 per cent. by doubling more than
doubling the number Of students that could
he accommodated the per capita cost Of train
ing would be reduced TO about half or
twO-thirds.
The Newport. as | understand it. has &C
commodations for a little over 100 students.
and as the course of instruction covers a
period OF two years. only about one-half Of
this number can be admitted to the ship each
year. The applications for entrance 70 this
service or to the ship has been more than
three times the possible accommodation each
year.

Colonel Houses Mission,

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Can you tell me what the President
means by sending Colonel House on this -
sion TO Europe? On the face Of it it seems
strange ono.
At Paris, where he was courteously re-
ccved and important persons we're asked TO
meet him, nc showed such cold and tact
tam demeanor as to be positively rude and
make the Frenchmen wonder why he was
there. Then lie goes to Germany and. as
this mornings paper tells U.s. he charms
the Germans by his friendly behavior.
Now. what does this mean? Granting that
some Anne ricans do not want war with Ger
many. and even are willing to acquiesce in
the Administration policy of knuckling down
10 Germany, it cannot be true that Colonel
House represents the sentiment Of our peo-
RE at large in showing unfriendliness to
France ard friendliness to Germany.
cannot ! will not. believe that Amer-
cans generally are 50 lost 20 all sense Of
right and wrong az to feel anything but alb
horrence for Germany's course OF action in
beginning this war and her methods of wag-
ing il, 10 say nothing OF her bold attacks
upon American interests and industries.
- therefore,, if Colonel House does not repre-
sent US, who docs lie represent? Has the
President the right TO send him ss his own
personal representative, and by so doing
render US. tine people. liable TO misrepre-
scntstionr
The whole affair is very extraordinary and
without precedent, so far as | am aware.

For the Good Of the Service.

Governor Whitman has done nothing II
his administration more thoroughly com
mendable than his appointment of Charles
S. Hervey and Travis II. Whitney to the
Public Service Commission. Both ap
rointments are based purely and simply
upon the merit of the men chosen, anC
both will strengthen the Public Service
Commission and hearten those who year
after year render faithful public service
in relatively inconspicuous positions.
The Public Service Commission itself
has testified to the quality and value OF
Mr.. Whitney's long service "a secretary.
Originally chosen for this position when
the commission was organized owing his
selection to the high opinion Of his merit
formed by Governor Hughes. Mr.. Whitney
has wear after year continued to give the
people a value out of proportion to the
price fixed for his important job.
Mr.. Hervey's work has been less widely
appreciated or known. Yet for twenty
years he has served the taxpayers of this
city faithfully, industriously, with the
capacity which in private life would have
earned large remuneration and wide
recognition. Democratic. Republican and
Reform city administrations have come
and gone, but by each he has been retained
as the invaluable man, whose knowledge
and experience were Indispensable.
1t is a cause for general satisfaction
that Governor Whitman has chosen to re
ward faithful service and to recognize
considerations other than those of politics
These two men, who are not in politics ana
have not been interested in politics, vii
carry to the Public Service Commission ex
perience, judgment and fidelity which

fidence body which has fallen to low
estate because politics, not ability, has die
tated its personnel in recent years.

Cowardice and Dishonor.

The Clarke amendment, fastened on the
Philippine bill with the aid of the Vice
Presidents vote, is brutal challenge TO
American honor and self-respect. 1t is a
base surrender TO inertia and cowardice.
Instead of completing the mission Of civil
cation in the Philippines, which we under
took of our own free choice, we should,
under the provisions of the Clarke amend
ment, meanly shift that burden from our
shoulders and stink out of the islands with
our pride pocketed and our prestige tar
rished We should acknowledge to the
world the failure of our occupation and
leave behind us memory of generous en-
thusiasm chilled and moral and physical
energy wasted which Americans who love
their country could never cease 10 regret.
The supporters of the Clarke amend
ment realize that if their scheme is
adopted the last state of the Filipinos. so
far as they have been brought into con-
tact with American ideas and ideals, will
be worse than the first. They know that
anarchy and extinction of their national
aspirations are in store for the Filipinos If
We row renounce our sovereignty and
leave them TO their own feeble devices.
When Mr.. Clarke and his friends first put
forward the plan for American evacua-
tion they were forced to consider the
necessity of giving certain guarantees
which would at least pretend TO insure
Independence and internal order under a
native government. At first it was In
tended TO bind the United States to nego-
tiate an international agreement under
which the territorial integrity of the new
independent state should be secured. Fail
ing to procure the assent of other powers
to such "A compact, the United States was
TO undertake. single handed, to guarantee
independence for five years.
But these half-hearted acknowledgements
Of our moral obligation to a half-civiized
dependency which we were planning TO
turn loose TO its fate have now been with
drawn. As it passed the Senate the
amendment merely requires the President
to negotiate with native government in
the islands for certain assurances Of Do
