the agreements entered into with traders
in neutral countries. The enormous in
crease in food exports from Holland to
Germany has been a constant grievance.
Figures have frequently been published
showing, as one British critic puts it, that
Holland, which supplied US with food in
peace. has deserted US in war and taken
to feeding Germany instead The obvi-
Gus explanation is that the Dutch pro-
ducers and merchants, in war as in peace,
sell to the highest bidder, and that as meat,
butter, cheese, eggs and other foods com
mand much higher prices at present in
Germany than in the United Kingdom,
these commodities 90, Of course, in greater
quantities to Germany.
It is idle to expect sentiment TO govern
transactions Of this sort, especially since
the prices for foodstuffs consumed at home
have been regulated by the Dutch govern
ment. But the manifest impossiblllty OF
checking imports by such arrangements
accounts undoubtedly for the latest action
Of the British government.

Why the Parks of Europe Are Clean.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The following letter goes far toward
explaining why the parks of Europe are
immediately clean. They are immaculate
because of the strong hand Of the law and
the vigilance Of the police in the matter OF
enforcement. Every offender against the park
ordinances is quickly brought to book. Here
the police are able to catch only a small pro-
portion of them, but the leaven is working.
W. T. HORNADAY.
New York, Sept IA, 1916.
Dear Sir: / read with deep interest your
article about the human swine existing in
the parks Of New York City
81 will relate to you an incident that oc-
CURED to me when ! was boy of seven
years: My father and were in the Zoolog
ical Park in Stuttgart, Germany sat on
enc Of the park benches and my father gave
me a sandwich and a hard boiled egg. Before
giving me the egg my father told me to give
him the she'll after taking it of the egg. This
did, but in cracking the egg on the bench
about four or five pieces (about the size Of
my finger nai) fell under the bench and my
father had not noticed them. While walking
toward the park exit mounted officer gal
Hoped up to US and after saluting my father,
asked him if ! had not eaten eggs when we
were sitting on the bench. He said, yes, but
have the shells here in this paper and will
put them in the next rubbish can The Off
Ger said, But your boy dropped ssme of the
shell beneath the bench. VIII you kindly go
back with him and have him pick up the small
pieces - / did so in a hurry. Had my father
refused TO go back or denied that | had
dropped the pieces Of shell we would have
been arrested and fined
"If you have your park police instructed to
do likewise you would soon eliminate the park
swine and have a clean park and would not
have to remove the park benches. Yours
truly, (Signed) J. f. LOEBLE,

Where the Progressive Vote Will Go.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: am just in receipt of letter from
George W Perkins informing me that he is
for Whitman in the primaries next Tuesday
and giving his reasons therefor. His first
reason is because Mr. Seabury has Tam
many nomination for Governor
Ny mind doesn't have TO travel 30 very far
rack to remember that Whitman was once
the nominee of Tammany, but with this dr.
ference Seabury got his nomination
Tammany, who opposed to him. Mr..
Perkins also tells US 10 remember that Mr..
Seabury is not running as an enrolled Pro-
gressive. but rs an enrolled Democrat!
haven't heard that Mr.. Whitman is now or
ever has been an enrolled Progressive.
The second reason for wishing us 70 vote
for Mr.. Whitman is on account Of the effect
Nj. Seabury's selection by the Progrcssives
would have on Mr. Wilson's chances for
election in November. To my mind there il
nothing in that. Since the Maine election
has been held we know now pretty well where
the Progressive vote is going to be four ID
when the election comes or In November.
Tell MIR. Perkins not to worry about Wood
row. at least not so far as | am concerned.
fo' would ms soon think OF voting for Benc-
diet Arnold, were he alive, rs | would for
W iIson, as they have both betrayed American
liberty. PROGRESSIVE.

Mr.. Bacon's Big Issues.
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Those Republicans who believe that
the war in Europe presents great questions
Of international right and wrong in which
this country is vitality interested, and who
earnestly desire that both now and after the
war is over their government shall be
potent power for international right; and
those Republicans who further believe that
in democracy like ours all of the burdens
as we'll as the privileges OF free government,
including the burden Of defending our in
stitutions, should be shared by all citizens
rich and poor-on the equal terms of man
hood, will have an opportunity to testify to
these beliefs ut the primary election next
Tuesday.
Mr. Bacon has made his platform perfectly
clear. lie has freed it from all of the accu-
sations and counter-accusations with which
IL is attempted to confuse the other candi-
daces OF the campaign. His record. both in
public office and as a private citizen. assures
us that his platform promises will be fully
kept His election to the United States SEN
ate would place in that body man who from
his service In the State Department and as
Ambassador has become thoroughly familiar
with international history ard international
duaintanco with the men in other countries
who will handle the great problems which
will arise after the war Is over. Such man
In the Senate could not fail to be Of immense
value to Mr.. Hughes and q Republican Ad-

"The Best Possible Service"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The papers this morning mention with
surprise and qualification the excellent train
service in the subway yesterday. This goes
to confirm my conviction that the present
subway has never yet been operated to its
full capacity.
If express trains can be operated on a one
minute Roadway on September 13 they can
also be run the same way every day in the
year, and the Public Service Commission
should see TO it that this is done.
In the non-rush hours the same headway
can be perfectly we'll maintained and by run.
ming shorter trains the company can save
expense.
1t costs but trihe more to run two five
car trains than one 'ten-car train, and il is
obvious that frequent small trains will do
more to handle the traffic than ten-car trains
on a larger Roadway.
The statement so often made that the IN
terborough is giving the best possible SER
vice in the subway is not and never has been
true. This was proven yesterday.

A New British Order.

The local representatives Of several
steamship lines declare themselves at a
loss to account for the latest regulations
given out by the British government with
regard to trading with Holland. Some say
that "the only possible reason they can
advance is that the existing arrangements
by which merchandise for Holland is
handled through the Netherlands Oversee
Trust have proved TO be unsatisfactory"
This seems the more probable in the
light Of complaints that have been heard
Of late in England about the agreement
entered into between the Netherlands
Oversee Trust and the British govern
ment. Since the beginning Of last year all
exports from Great Britain have been con-
signed 10 the trust, which is empowered to
impose fines on Dutch merchants convicted
Of exporting Illicit goods 10 Germany. In
this manner about $780, 900 is said TO have
been collected last year, showing that the
traffic with Germany was not inconsidcr-
able. One Of the complaints in England
is that inasmuch as the money remains in
Holland the Dutch lose nothing even il
breaches Of the agreement are detected,
whereas If they are undetected the profits
must undoubtedly be enormous.
This is only one example of the kind Of
criticism heard in England with regard "
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-18

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The fact OF my being a candidate for
the Progressive nomination for Supreme
Court justice may possibly justify this an
nouncement of my choice between Judge Sea-
bury and Governor Whitman in the mpend-
ing Progressive primaries. | stand unquali
fedly for Judge Seabury's nomination and
Endorsement as my party's candidate for Gov
ernor.
1t is utterly incomprehensble to me what
possible claim Mr.. Whitman can have or urge
:c, the Progressive Endorsement. The fact
that under our election laws such AS he, with
his traditions, his record and his associations,
can of right enter upon the quest for indorse-
ment by party so alien to him and his kind
as the Progressive party shows the Grass
absurdty to which our primary system
despite it's many good featuresl can be re-
duced 1t is only the fact that he has taken
advantage of this technical right which en-
titles his candidacy to any serious consider
alton at all.
Three years ago the Progressive party re-
pudiated Mr. Whtman's candidacy for the
Governorship and Endorsed Judge Seabury
unanimously for the Court of Appeals. Their
respective records since then have wholly
justified the wisdom of what my party then
did. No single act Of Governor Whitman
has even Appropriated to Progressive ideals
end no public utterance of his even family
suggested Progressive thought or aspirations.
H. has no possible kinship with the Progress
sve party. Even his appointing Mr.. Straus
chairman Of the Public Service Commission
at that time heraded as a sign of sympathy
for the Progressive csuse) has since proved,
to a great many minds at least an act of
insincerity.
Judge Seaburys every public act, % far as
was consistent with his functions and duties
as judicial officer, has been instinct with
Progressive ideals. No announcements in
his judicial opinions upon any issue involv-
ing social betterment laws and large public
cue stions but express advanced and enlight-
ened philosophy, heartening those striving
for the human good and juster social condi-
tiers. He has had the courage so to express
himself, even though he was at times in
minority and in hostile atmosphere. These
things give him much more than the mere
legal right to enter the Progressive pri-
mares; they give him the moral and spiritual
claim to brotherhood with us. ! feel that my
pnrty will we'll honor itself by honorng him
with its overwhelming Endorsement.

The Whitman Stone to the Hughes Kite.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a lifelong Republican who ex-
poets to vote for Mr.. HugheI for President
and for Judge Seabury for Governor, I pro-
test against the attempt being made by GER
tain Of the politicians of the Progressive
party who claim to be for Mr.. Hughes to
make il appear that vote in the Progressive
primaries for Judge Seabury is vote against
Mr. Hughes.
Just the reverse is true. Mr. Hughes can
carry the State of New York if he gets the
full Republican vote and only if he gets the
full Republican vote. Whether he carries the
State of New York will probably determine
whether he is elected President Mr.. Whit
man cannot possibly get the full Republican
vote. Mr.. Bennett, most worthy and Pro-
gressive Republican. Mr.. Whitman's opponent
in the Republican primaries, has pointed out
reasons why thousands OF Republicans will
not support Whitman, and, as all well-in-
formed Republicans know. other and un-
answerable reasons will be brought forward
as soon as Whitman is nominated in the Re.
publican primaries.
Then why carry the Whitmsn stone to the
Hughes kite? You cannot make the stone
fly, but you can wreck the kite. Let Mr..
Whitman run on his own record, and if ne
is beaten on account Of his record let the
defeat fall on him and not on the Republi-
can Presidential candidate. The support
ers of Mr.. Hughes. no less than those Of
Judge Seabury, protest against the efforts
to pull Whitman through at the expense OF
Mr. Hughes. | know that in this protest 7
voice the sentiment of thousands of Rs,ub-
lican voters in this state who expect ~ sup
port Mr.. Hughes on national issues and Sudge
Seabury on state issues, particularly -. OPP
posed to Mr.. Whitman.

Encouraging.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. endeavored last Wednesday while in
Boston to buy Tribune at three stands. "All
out" was the reply. A dyed-in-the-wool Bos-
tonian sat in my Office when | arrived home
to-day reading your editorial page. Said he:
There's the most American, the truest, the
best stuff appearing in any daily in the
United States to-day" And agreed
II took long time TO cut away from n
favorte Of other days, for man Of positive
convictions must be gradually won over; so
now each morning take both the old favor
tie and The Tribune, only take the latter
TO business and leave the other for the less
positive members OF my family.
Mr. Editor, keep out the almost unheeded
danger signals warning this careless people.

bit in your own big way A. o.

The Better Man.

The voter who takes part in making
nominations at the primaries tomorrow
will do more than help 10 choose party
candidates. In voting for a nominee for
United States Senator he will do his
share in making party policy for several
years to come-the critical years which
must see the end of the great war and the
international readjustments to follow
and in unfolding the standard of party
representation in the upper house OF the
national legislature. Republican voters
have choice between two candidates,
each of whom has rendered excellent pub
lie service, each Of whom is a man Of per-
sonal and political probity, each of whom
has a legitimate claim to party support.
The Tribune believes, nevertheless, that
the choice should be easy to make, because
of the questions of tremendous import
which this country is now facing and
must face in the future.
BY the nature and quality Of his public
service in the past, by reason of his ex-
perience and the views he holds, Mr.. Rob-
ert Bacon is, in The Tribune's estimation,
the better man for this place. His has
been an international training, gained by
honorable work in the State Department
and as Ambassador to France. He knows
problems and the usages OF
law, not theoretically, but at
first hand. He knows personally the lead
ers in political and business life in those
countries across the sea which, in the re-
adjustment of their own affairs, must so
vitality affect the life Of this nation. He
knows from years of personal study con-
dtions abroad and the effect they must
have on conditions in our own country in
the future. This knowledge, this expert
ence, he desires to put at the service Of
his party and his country in the place
where it will be most needed, the United
States Senate.
Mr.. Bacon's beliefs and views about
this countrys opportunities and obliga-
tons in the critical years to come are well
known by the party voters and the public
generally. He has not hesitated to state
his position bluntly, uncompromsingly.
The value of the service he could give in
the Senate, both to his party and the coun-
try, ought to be generally recognized. The
United States, living largely to and for
itself is not so rich in men with in
ternational experience and point of view
that it can afford to reject the work of any
individual of character, integrity and abil-
ity who possesses such experience.
The Republican party will lose an op-
portunity to maintain the highest stand
the fullest degree of service TO the coun-
try if its members do not nominate Mr..
Bacon. Such failure would be truly I'M
fortunate.
