Sir: Recently sent to friend in London

ton by the British authorities OF American
mail to neutral countries. | have now re-
ceiyed from him a letter which, in view oil
the latest American note on the subject ana
the feeling existing, will perhaps convince
the unprejudiced that closely scrutlnizing all
mail from the United States Is not only war
ranted, but imperatively necessary. My cor
respondent writes in part:
But there is another side TO the question,
and, curiously enough, 1t was brought to my
notice the other day by one of our letter
censors, an extremely able man, who is in
charge of the commercial censorship. he

the enemy and the same thing in the case OIL

suffer for the faults Of those firms who lend
themselves to spying. The proof is indis-

something wonderful. The consequence is
that even trade circulars have TO be opened

on in these circulars, which are often used

GET THE BEST MAN
No Use Experimenting with an Unframed
Administrator for President.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: am, and have been, daily resoer
OF The Tribune for many years. during inc
last year | have read with especial interest
your political articles and editorials. In my
humble opinion, you have voiced the senti-
ments OF n majority of the business men Oh
the country.
If the question Of selecting candidate 70
fill the great Office OF President OF the United
States for the coming four years was lett
TO the business men there would be no doubt
as to the man they would select. That Sc
lection, however, may not be satisfactory 70
the politicians.
II the men responsible for tho split In
1912 endeavor to force on the voters VINO
voted the Progressive ticket In 1912 ma
chine candidate the majority OF the Pro-
gressive vote Of 1912 will be cast for Wood
row Wilson.
The bosses Of this and other states are not
carrying the voters around in their pockets
as they did few years ago. That was plainly
proven in the last state election. Seldom,
II ever, has an important measure been de-
feated by larger vote than was registered
against the proposed state constitution. Inc
protest was not so much against the meas
ure as 1t was against the men behind 1t.
Laying party prejudice aside and giving
an honest expression OF opinion as TO the
ability of the various men mentioned for
this important position. is IL not fact that
Iheodors Roosevelt is the candidate who
should be nominated by a united Republican
and n1erted hy
an overwhelming majority in November
This, fully realize, would not be satisfac-
tory TO many of the resctionary Republican
politicians.
Can the country afford 10 gamble on four
years more Of misrule? The prosperity that
the country has enjoyed during the last two
years has been on account Of the European
war After the passage of the Underwood
tariff and up to the outbreak Of the European
conflict the business conditions throughout
this country we're more deplorable than LOT

terrible European conflict may terminate az
anv time. When it does it cannot help but
affect every important industry in this coun-
try, as they are all interested, to more or
less extent, in manufacturing or handilns
products for the European countries.
When the demand for these products, TO
great extent, ceases, immigration sets In, and
the American wage-earner must compete with

Short Nominating Speeches.
From The Philadelphia Telegraph J

From The PhIddeIpht1 Iete0Tdphl
Under the circumstances we may well 60
back for a precedent to the great Republican
convention of 1s60-one of the greatest OF
all conventions Of the Republican party In
the sixty years OF its national existence. On
the third day, in that convention, when the
other business had been disposed Of, and
nominations were in order, Mr.. Evarts. OF
New York, in less than thirty words pre-
scented William II. Seward for the nomina-
ton; Mr.. Judd, Of Illinois, was equally brief
in presenting Abraham Lincoln. The names
Of William L. Dayton, Of New Jersey; OF
Simon Cameron, Of Pennsylvania; OF Salmon
P. Chase, of Ohio; of Edward Bates, Of Mis-
souri,; of John Mclean, Of Ohio, re pre-
scented, but less than two dozen words were
used in any instance.
1t is not by elaborate and eloquent nomi-
mating speeches that the choice OF Presi-
Dental candidates is determined. The rea-
sons influencing delegates are OF different
character. But If speeches must be made a
reasonable brevity will make them all the
more effective. Two of the best remembered
nominating speeches ever made in a national
convention were by Robert G. Ingersoll for
Blaine in 1876 and by Daniel Dougherty
nominating Hancock in $780, a Repub-
lican, the other Democrat -and neither
speech occupied more than ten minutes in
delivery, .--.-

Russia and Alcohol.

eve do not need it; it was just way
Of being happy" Thus did a moujik give
his approval to the prohibition of vodka
in typical Slav fashion. The soul Of the
race shines through his words. And they
make possible and likely the continuance
Ct the prohibition after the war, which
the Cars will alone could never accom-
plsh. For, indolent, barely articulate,
nard to rouse, Russian public opinion is
irresistible once it makes up its mind.
Nowhere else, and at no other time in any
other country, has autocracy lived so little
by strength Of arms, so much by mere
apathetic, fatalistic sufferance, as in the
Russia which turned to a new phase in It's
history with the beginning of the war.
Nevertheless, there as elsewhere the
problem of permanent prohibition is a
complicated one. The sporadic appearance
of illicit dstileries, numerous cases of
wood alcoholism, not always fatal, are
merely incidents Of the first stage Of the
measure, and of no great significance.
The fact that the rich can continue to
buy imported champagnes and wines,
liuueurs and liquors while the poor man
must 90 without his vodka has not failed
to find satiric and disconnected common
tators. Petrograd, it is said, bathes IN
champagne since the opening Of this era
of war contracts-and, Furthermore, there
are the interests Of the French Ally's
enormous wine industry TO be considered.
Russia is one of its best markets.
Again, Russia produces wines of her
own, in Bessarabia, the Caucasus and the
Crimea. 1t is chiefly an industry of small
landed proprietors, for whom the prohibi-
ton of viniculture would spell utter ruin.
Here is found the main difficulty Of the
problem, to be met only, if at all, by gov
eminent purchase of these interests. Rus
sian experts have declared that prohibi-
ton cannot be pronounced q success until
after twenty-five years have elapsed. The
policy advocated at present is one Of q
continuance of the wine industry under
gradually increasing restrictions, with
perhaps corresponding gradual increase
of duties on the importations, to be ar
ranged in consultation with the foreign
interests invoved. The rapidly increasing
purchasing power in other directions Of
the Russian people, protected against its
vodka bills, will no doubt serve as a potent
argument in these negotiations.
There remains, then, beer-compara'
lively speaking a small financial interest
easily bought out. Not more than two
hundred millions Of rubles are invested in
Russian breweries. But there are In the
country two theories on the subject OF the
beverage. One is that the encouragement

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Civil War had its Underground
Route; New York has It's grapevine press;
the American sympathizers with the Sim
Fein rebellion obtained advance news from
Ireland by means OF code unsupported by
the British censor; and now 1t appears that
the people of Bohemia have found way to
eyade the most rigid censorship that ever
was-that OF Vienna-and TO communicate
the truth about happenings and conditions
in their land 70 those Of their compatriots
who dwell on this side Of the Atlantic.
The impression left upon one who spends
an evening in the company OF those in
formed Bohemians Of New York can be but
one-the land Of Johann Huss is not only a
moro serious menace 10 the body OF Austria
Hungary than Ireland Is to the body OF the
British Empire; IL is also another Belgium,
another Serbia, suffering its martyrdom with
an official gag in its mouth.
A few days ago was the guest Of Thomas
Capek, a bank president of New York and
the author Of some essays on Bohemia, at
one Of his countrymen's social centres in
Manhattan's East Seventies. Three other
men were with US, the Rev. A. b. koukol,
head OF the Bohemian immigration Society,
and the editors of two Bohemian dailies,
Messrs. B. G. Gregr and Z. Syehla. Over
their beer and tobacco these men talked, more
Of what they knew than of what they felt,
for, though their hate Is as hot as their love
is ardent, there were no imprecations, no
oratory; their faces were set with determine
ton, and now and then illuminated with hope.
Terrorlzed Bohemia.
"For the last twenty-one months" said
one Of them, "the Austrian government has
used every means, fair or foul, to impress
upon foreign public opinion the lie Of Bo-
hemian loyalsm and to hide from It's own
people the facts Of tho military and political
situation. The most brutal methods OF ter
rorization and intimidation were used to
prevent open rebellion in Bohemia and IN
the Slav provinces. Paid government agents
went about picking up In all communities
the few men who will do anything for a
price, made them parade with Austrian BAN
ners flying, and sent word to the Austro-
German news agencies that great demon
strations Of loyalism were TO be witnessed
everywhere"
THE fact u.s." continued Mr. Capek, "that
ever since the beginning of the war Bohemia
has been forced to suffer in silence. If you
will remember, the Rcichsrat was dismissed
before the war was declared, so that
those who were known TO oppose the crimi-
nal venture, namely, the Bohemian and other
Slav representatives, could not register their
veto. 1t was prudent measure on the part
Of the Austrian military leaders, who were
no longer free to dsobey the German Kai-
ser, for had they not taken it the declara-
ton Of war would not have been possible

their scheme; he was overruled, and soon
resigned his Office, broken-hearted at the
magnitude of the disaster he had been power
less to prevent.
