years and asked my nevsdealer 10 leave TIE
Tribune instead, for a month. as an exptr-
ment And 40 ! became one of your regular
readers.
OF course, both papers serve the news
equally we'll. But what missed in the other
paper. and what ! admire in yours. is the
decisiveness and the uncompromising Amer
icsnism Of your editorials. II does not mat
ter that ! occasionally disagree with yorr
opinions. / do not need newspaper 70 DO
my thinking for me. But I do need the
mental stimulus of an editorial page that
stands for something and has the courage -
its convictions. The Tribune has come

the strongest force in New York journalism.

Drum Taps.
Beat Beat, Drums.

Beat beatl drumsl blow! bugles! blow
Through the windows through doors burst
like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church. and scatter the con
gregation,
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet-no happi-
ness must he have now with his bride,
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing
his field or gathering his grain,
So fierce you vhirr and pound you drums
so shrill you bugles blow.
Beat beat! drums! blow bugles, blow,
Make no parley- stop for no expostulation,
Mind not the mid-mind not the weeper or
prayer,
Mind not the old man beseeching the young
man,
Let not the child's voice be heard, nor the
mothers cntreatios,
Make even the trestles 20 shake the dead
where they lie awaiting the hearses,
SO strong you thump, O terrible drums-s so
loud you bugles blow.

A DEMOCRAT FOR ROOSEVELT
His Virility and Clear Vision Win Voter
HumiIiated BY the Administration.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a Democrat by training and oy
generations OF inherited tradition, may De
permitted to express my attitude toward the
Republican nomination for President!
The vague dreaming the wlful ignoring OF
facts, the failure to grasp the real meaning
OF this war and the criminal weakness OF TINS
Administration in UNFOLDING the rights OF It's
citizens have caused me such deep shame ana
humiliation that | can never again vote the
Democratic ticket
II remains to be seen il the Republicans
will rise above petty politics to serve the
nation and make il possible for me to support
them. After ten years residence on the Con
tinent Of Europe have returned to Amer

more than ever convinced that only by an
aroused national spirit, soldihed and MADE
effective, are we 10 endure as a nation
knowledge of the intense national feeling IN
all the nations of Europe would convince
any body that nation which is such pas
sivc champion of the rights of humanity,
such a sweet-voiced singer of the virtues OF
peace and so intoxicated by the beatifc
Visions of its own conjuring that it sees not
the precipce at its feet can never preserve
itself against their ardent and active patriot
ism.
The issue day is Americanism, Prepared
ness and the Hyphenates. 1t matters not that
man thinks right on these questions Does
he also feel what he thinks? And does he feel
il with his whole heart and soul TO the ex-
tent Of sacrificing himself to the cause?
If the Republicans make the race on the
above issues why do they wish to confde
their banner to Hughes, Root or others of a
judicial, passive temperament? They are not
different from Wilson. The Democrats have
no man of the requisite calibre and tempera
ment and the Republicans have but one. Will
they sacrifice the nation to their party SQUAD
bles or will they rise to the occasion and save
the country by the nomination of Roosevelt.
our one and only statesman of virility and
clear vision, who thinks and expresses him
self in terms that other nations can under
stand?
His farseeng attitude and the courage OF
his utterances since the beginning of this
war should endear him to every true Amerl-
can. ! have always been against him (for

them Of being the real criminals in thwart-
ing the sentiment of their party, as evil

Sir: The press Of this city has commented

more comment and more indignation. The

The New Generation.

There are few enough who fought in the
COS marching to-day. We have still
generation living which heard the story
from the lips of men who made those years
great. But there is a new generation CON-
ing I'D TO which the last great war the
nation fought is history book lesson
They see more truly since the last touch
of passion and sectionalism has been put
behind. But do they see wildly? Can they
picture and understand all the high emo
tions which marched behind the flag III
those years of war?
We hope and believe that they can and
do. 1t is the way of youth, its ever fresh
gift to life, that material habits, well-worh
comforts and satisfied ease rest lightly on
IFS heart and will. It's sight leaps far
and distance warns as it hszes. 1t is
Young men and women who have given
most to the nation they loved in the great
war Of Europe to-day. And we like 70
feel that here at home it is the younger
generation which will he first TO see across
the years of peace TO the crucial days
when life ceased TO be something to be
husbanded with selfish care and became
a gift, rich or small as you cared TO say,
but all you had to give the mother yoI
loved best.
We have not lost faith in our great
democratic state of peace and plenty; but
we are beginning to feel that peace and
plenty, in themselves, are not enough. We
are slowly awakening TO the truth Of 1860,
to the truth of 1875, that peace is great
and good only when it is builded on right
and that no nation can live which places
wealth or case above justice and honor.
The building of right foundations within
our states has grown slowly, is advancing
and must continue. But new duties, a
new world, beckon. 1t is our duty TO make
our nation ready to speak for right among
her equals. Courage and service are her
call. Is there young or old who will noJ
answer?

The Presidents Kindred Spirit.

There is an unmistakabe chilliness IN
the foreign comments on President vii
sons address before the League to Enforce
Peace. With single notable exception,
his critics, whether French or British,
treat his proposals slghtingly, and often
with but bare show of courtesy. The
notable exception is THE Daily News Of
London. Here the President has discov-
cred kindred spirit. and the outspoken
enthusiasm of "The Daily News" should
comfort him and make amends for the
utter lack of warmth and friendliness in
the rest of the press of London and Paris.
THE Daily News" alone recognizes that
il was a speech pregnant Of POSSIBLE
ties; it is the only important paper that
believes that by this speech the President
brings Utopia into relation with the act
ual. and contrary to the general opinion,
holds that the proposals set forth by him,
instead of being vague or ridiculous, "are
rich in hope for averting many threatened
wars of the future"
Considering its source. this opinion is
profoundly gratifying. 1t must be remem-

America Before the Hyphep.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There has recently been so much
."hyphenated" talk that the average. simon
pure Yankee Of few generations is heartily
sick OF the term.
Undoubtedly much Of this nausea is caused
by the fact that in almost all of such refer
ences we find that the American half Of the
hyphenated allegiance is placed last. Thus
German, or what prefer 10 call Umlaut-
American, Irish-American, French American,
etc.
Probably We all admire the American Of
foreign extraction who has high regard and
love for the land Of his fathers. In fact,
few of US have such respect for the man
who does not cherish a desire to see the
land of his ancestors, but why in the name
of all that is reasonable do we 90 on think
ing and speaking OF these Americans as be-
longing first to such countries and being
lastly Americans?
If We would only reverse the order and
speak of the Americsn-Irish, the American
German, the American-Itaian, etc, those
terms would have definite and respect COM
manding significance. We would at once rec
ognize the American tfrst) of Irish eNtrac-
ton, God bless him, the American lfrsJ OF
German descent. and so on.
At the present moment there is only one
hyphenated class OF citizens who would be
likely to object to the reversal, and believe
only very few OF those, and as for them
let US find out as soon as possible who they
are; the sooner We know the better OF we
will be. F. F. P.
