New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-03-02

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: It has been stated recently that Mr..
Barnes is not seriously supporting Mr.. Root,
but is using him as stalking horse for cor
railing the New York delegation and ulti-
mately swinging it to Governor Mccall.
Vow, Mr.. Mccall is man Of great ability
and his public career has been highly credit
able to himself and his constituency, but It
Is apparent that he is in no sense national
figure.
The history Of Republican and Democratic
national conventions since 1886 affords scant
consolation to Presidential aspirants from
New England. In the sixty years OF exist
ence Of the Republican party II has honored
tha. section but once. That exception "eS
tho nomination Of Mr.. Blaine IN 1854. But
Mr.. Blaine was in no sense local candidate
For twenty years he had been brilliant ma
tional figure and magnetic party leader
His popularity throughout the West and even
in the states Of the Pacific Coast was as
great as in New England. 1t would require
wild stretch Of the imagination to compare
R Governor Mccall or Senator Weeks or any
other New England man now IN public I've
with Mr.. Blaine.
Tho nomination of a Nice-Presidential can
didate has gone to New England but twice
during that period Hannibal HamIin IN 1868
and Henry Wilson in 1865
During the same period Of time the Demo
cratic party has placed New Highlander but
once on its national ticket, in 1896, when
Arthur Sewall. Of Maine, was Mr.. Bryans
running mate.
In 1895 Maine presented Thomas b. Reed
os y candidate for the Presidency. Mr. keed
had twice been Speaker of the House OF KEEP
resentatiyes and his public career had been
lone and distinguished. He was, perhaps at
that time the ATTEST advocate and strongest
exponent OF the gold standard, and yet ne
received "A very small vote IN the national
convention. Would any one nave the temeriIy
"a compare Governor Mccall or senator
Weeks with Thomas b. Reed?
In national conventions New England never
has voted As a unit in the support OF any
Now F,cland candidate. The represeRtatlo"
Of the New England states IN the next re
nublican National Convention Will number
eicbty-cight exactly the same as that OF tn
state of New York.
In a total membership Of 97i New tngland

Parties Are Means, Not End.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Nr. George Russell says that Justice
Hughes IS not wanted By real Americans.
That NAV be his opinion. but he states II as a
fact. though he can have no knowledge OF the
nercentage of those who would come within
anv general definition Of real Americans
that he might construct who do not want
Jusfice Hughes. Perhaps he may claim that
tho statement referred 70 IS proposition
based upou the statements by which it WAS
followed. But these statements, though posi-
t'velr asserted as facts. are only opinions. IN
supported b. any knowledge Of the facts or
argument 20 demonstrate their probability.
The erroneous notion which Mr.. Russell
seems to have, that it is impossible for an
individual to have ideas superior to and in
advance Of the composite ideas Of the party,
or. rather, the party leaders or machine may
be worth consideration. How are progress
and improvement IN government possible un-
less some one thinks Of and suggests ways
that are new. and demonstrates their desira-
bility and practicab.lity, Notwithstanding a
general opinion and some preferences TO the
contrary The fact that Governor Hughes

soon proved to he utterly futile. Not,
however, for any want of will in Germany.
If to-day there arc Germans who, In Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz's words, "still hope that
England will be sensible and will listen
to reason" they are deccived-supposing
that the process of listening TO reason
implies an inclination 70 acknowledge that
the assassins Of the sea have demonstrated
the possibility Of starving the population
Of the British Isles. For if they have not
achieved their purpose in the last year, or
even come within measurable distance of
achieving it, there is little reason to appre-
bend they viii DO 50 in the next.
1t is quite possible that the Germans
have made up their losses in submarine
vessels. It is not at all unlikely that the
vessels completed in the last twelvemonth
arc more efficient and dangerous than
those that set out in February Of last
year in a campaign Of ruthless destruc-
ton. Il is even conceivable that there
are enough trained men left to carry on
q campaign even more destructive. more
terrible. than that we have hitherto wit
ressed. But it will not do to pretend, as
so many Of the German writer's do, that
a nation by nature tender-hearted and
compassionate has suddenly resolved to
wage war without mercy.
The threat of Admiral Won Tirpitz ana
the warning Of the late Admiral Won Pohl
differ in no essential particular from the
proclamation so commonly received as a
novelty. The British Admiralty has just
published a table showing that last year
thirty-nine British steamers and thirteen
neutral vessels were sunk by German
submarines without warning. If more
mischief is to be done in future it will be
because the instruments at Germany's dis
posal are superior, not because in the past
the Germans have been bound by hu-
name sentiments.

The Clergy and Preparedness

To the Editor or The Tribune.
Sir: 4 list was published few days ago
m the newspapers of number OF ministers
Of various denominations who have signed a
petition against this government spending
any money on greater army and navy.
This attitude on the part Of these gentle
mon - uncomfortable. for in my opinion they
are By such action one and all traitors to the
country Of which they profess 10 be citizens

be- regretted. as every one, young and old
houid be doing his utmost TO get the coun-
try IN a condition 70 maintain. first. It's dig
nifty. and. second. peace. which - the very
thing which the whole miserable tribe OF So
called paciiists are working against.
Who of any sense can doubt that the con-
diton OF this country is very critical. and
that what We need for our salvation is al
adequate Federal army and navy. with an
organization Of the industrial resources OF
the land 70 maintain them?
II any one has any doubt o. the necessity
Of this. let him read divers Ordeal By Bat

Must the City Hold the Bag?

Mayor Mitchel's direction TO Corporation
Counsel Hardy to study the Interborough's
construction account to ascertain whether
"any improper charges" have been made
is the obvious course to protect the city s
interests. The testimony before the Thomp-
son legislative committee about the dispo-
sition of various bonuses has built up a
presumptive case. The city has been left
holding the bag. 1t now remains TO see
what the city can do about it.
Apparently the construction account is
not the only one in which corporation
manipulation has disposed of items which
the traction company would like the city
to pay. Against such tender regard for
dividends of stockholders as opposed TO
taxpayers welfare the supervisory powers
of the Public Service Commission are sup
posed to be the city's safeguard. If the
Corporation Counsel finds-as there IS a
possibility he may-that these peculiar
items. as finally disposed of, come within
the letter of the law and the city must,
indeed, hold the bag, there will be much
room for explanation of the commissions

Honors for Jailbirds.

The Tribunes correspondent who is fol-
lowing the triumphal progress of Henry
Siegel, lust released from a Jail term i'm
posed for robDing trusting Gepositors IN
his private bank, reports that sober,
sedate upstate community is preparing to
hold a reception for him. The local sentl-
ment, it seems, is that this betrayer of
trust was rather "victim Of hard luck
than criminal so he is to have welcome
to the scene of his trial much like that OF
a returning hero"
This is not at all incredible, for New
York City has recently witnessed the
nauseating spectacle of dinners at which
Curly Joe" Cassidy, pedler OF judicial
nominations. has been an honored guest.
And Lieutenant Becker, coming here
from Sing Sing once in connection with an
appeal from his death sentence, was
cheered by TIE mob as if he had been
the winning pitcher in a worlds series.
Occurrences such as these not only
breed contempt for the law; they are in
dicative Of an already existent contempt
widespread and dangerous. Siegel, in
stead Of being an object of adherence to
the aspiring youth Of straitlaced little
Geneseo, is shown in the guise of cap
tain of industry temporarily under cloud
but not the less to be cmulated just 50 far
as his sharp practices can be followed with
safety. Cassidy, convicted CRATER. is be
ing urged to reenter politics by men pre-
sumably honest and upright citizens, as
citizens go.
1t is assuredly manifest that the sense
Of honor and decency of the average Cit
zen is none too high when these things be.
No man should be made to suffer for the
crime Of which he has repented and for
which he has paid the legal penalty. But
there seems to be something askew when
honor is paid to an individual apparently
because he has committed crime.

right beyond all question. But if he is
absolutely right to-day, Secretary Lansing
was absolutely wrong only couple Of
weeks ago when he wrote this extraor-
binary postscript to a circular letter to
the Allied powers:
81 should add that my government is
impressed with the reasonableness Of the
argument that a merchant vessel carrying
armament of any sort, in view Of the
character Of submarine warfare and the
defensive weakness Of undersea craft.
should be held TO be an auxiliary cruiser
and so treated by neutral as well as by
belligerent government, and is seriously
considering instructng its officials ac-
cordingly."
A diplomacy which can thus reverse it,
self completely within a couple Of weeks
IS not entitled TO a vote Of confidence run
ming beyond its given programme at any
given moment. Congress ought not TO be
asked to condone the past or 70 discount
the future. Mr.. Wilson has travelled
around too many great circles In states
manship to make it safe for the two houses
to base a general "vote of confidence on
any current phase of the Presidents &C
tivities or rhetoric.
Let Congress repudiate its suspected ac-
ceptance of Berln's view Of the rights Of
Americans travelling on merchantmen
armed for defence. That is its only duty
to-day. If Mr. Wilson wants "vote of
confidence" in his diplomacy let him look
TO the people next fall, or to the final YER
dict of history.

known to be thoroughly American IN ms
opinions and his actions alike.
Mr. Hughes is fine man, and almost all Of
US think he was good Governor Of New
York State. But VIC do not know him very
we'll. We think he believes in international
righteousness, and We hope ne believes in
something more than correspondence when
the nation is nsulted. But VIC do not know
these things a. positive facts. What does he
think Of watchful waiting? Does he believe
in strong national defence VIII he be the
kind of person VINO would continue the wab-
biz policy OF the present Administration. or is
he as upright in his actions az he is in his
words? In other words, will he be an i'm
provement on Mr.. Wilson. and why?
Most of your 100000 readers arc eagerly
awaiting your next editorial utterance on the
subject. Arc you going TO favor man whose

No Unwilling Servant.

Sir: Why should we have Mr. Hughes
thrust upon US? What do we know about Mr
Hughes's position in regard TO preparedness
and international questions? Besides, an un
willing servant is usually poor one.

believed then, as | believe now. that Mr.
Roosevelt is the greatest man in the country
Now I would gladly vote for Mr.. Roosevelt
no matter what ideas he may have in regarC
TO referendum and recall and other loca
issues. for we know that he will protect the
lives and property Of American citizens and
will uphold the honor Of the nation when anc
wherever assailed.

Roosevelt would rush US into war-that he IS

what will America say If Germany de-
clares submarine war on all enemy mer-
chant ships? England wants 10
starve us! We can play the same game.
We can bottle her up and torpedo every
English or Allies ship which nears any
harbor in Great Britain. It Is
said that England wants war to the hilt-
If England insists upon that we can &C
commodate her. but there are some who
still hope that England will be sensible
and will listen TO reason
This was the threat uttered by Grand
Admiral Won Tirpitz exactly fifteen months
ago. 1t is well to repeat the very words
because the belief apparently prevails that
the new order Is moro terrible than the
first. When the formal proclamation OF
tho so-caled military area was published
II was made known that from February

these waters viii be destroyed, even If it is
not always possible 20 avoid danger TO tho
crews and passengers
That nothing like all have been de-
stroyed in the last year is matter of com
mon knowledge, but there is no reason 70
believe that the failure Of the threat was
consequence Of weakness or ciemency on
Germany part. Brtain's normal losses
in tonnage by founderings, standings. etc.
were more than doubled by submarine at
tacks in the first year of the pretended
blockade, but the attempt to destroy every
ship approaching British harbor was

Root Not Unfit ed.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In reply 10 the letter from Lifelong
Republican" in your issue OF yesterday !
would like 20 ask the writer what. in his
opinion. has untitled ex-senator Elihu Root
for the great Office OF President? Has Mr
Root AZ any time or on any occasion shown
that he would not be the right sort OF an
American for this great Office?
As 70 Mr. Roots speech. 10 which Lifelong
Republican takes exception, it is complete
summary Of what this country should stand
for If it is TO uphold its national honor and
maintain its self-respect among the nations
OF the world. Mr.. Root did not advocate n
declaration Of war: he only showed his
Americanism By not being afraid 20 expose
the utter unworthinoss OF the present blum
ocring Administration at Washington. He
only pointed out the duty which falls upon
the Republican party and every loyal. pa
triotc citizen Of the United States TO arise
and defend its name and rights before the
world.
Mr.. Root, while not advocating war, is not
"too proud to fight" TO maintain our national
honor and does not believe in "pcsce at any
price" Furthermore, ex-senator Elihu Root
is just American enough 10 assume the same
attitude in opposition to the pro-Ally cause

tics which their enemies have pursued with
