Wbitman's Nomination Means Defeat.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As a lifelong Republican, friend OF
the late Horace Greeley and reader OF The
Tribune for generation, ! am delighted
with your editorial in to-day's paper an
nouncing your refusal to support Governor
Whitman for reelection.
Why should you? When, if he is renomi-
mated, he will be defeated and the Republi-
cans will lose the chance to institute proper
reforms, reduce expenses of the state
government and place in the Governors chair
one of the ablest legislators that have served
the state for many years. | allude to Senator
William NJ. Bennett.
An able lawyer, an independent legislator,
absolutely honest and incorruptible, with his
experience and talents he would make an
ideal Governor.
If the voters of this state will elect Assem-
blymen and Senators of the same character
as Senator Bennett, | believe the taxpayers
of our state will get relief from heavy ex-
penditures and taxation, such as they have
not known for many years.

Against the "Junketeers."
,ditor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Thousands Of we'll meaning Republi-
cans. who have the best interests of the
marty at heart, say "smen" TO the outspoken
editorial announcement that The Tribune is
opposed to the denomination of Governor
Whitman. What shame TO handicap the
Republican Presidential nominee, Charles
Evans Hughes, at time when victory would
seem to be ready to perch on the banner Of
the Republican party.
Why not come out against the sanotimo-
nious fellow "junketeer," Eugene VI. Travis,
the candidate for denomination as state Con-
troller. while you are about it? What a pity
thew did not have few more relatives to be
specially transported from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and royalty entertained at the
EXPENSE of the State of New York! There
was certainly nothing too good for the Gov
ernor and Controller and their relatives
while the exposition at SAM Francisco was
omen. Give Travis a rap in your columns,
and do not forget William NJ. Calder, who
is doing his level best to reach the United
States Senate. No self-respecting Republi-
can should hesitate to register vote in the
primary against the "junketeers"-Whit
man and Travis-and also put Calder on the
run. bkOOhLfN hbf ObLlNAN'

WILSON'S RAID"


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The theory which dominates the de-
mands Of "Tho brotherhood" augmented by
the poltical chicanery Of Woodrow wilson
which denies to the railroads the right OF a
fair and impartial hearing, is dedicated to
the anomalous and brutal doctrine that the
law which condemns before it hears is
lust and equitable law" The cry OF rour
hundred thousand men for hearing OF their
complaint is coupled with the declaration
that there shall be a denial OF the same
right TO the defendant railroads. VINO are
automatically to be deprived OF sloo'ooo'VoV
annually by such procedure.
Is il to be imagined for an instant that the
loss Of this 500. 900 is to be borne by
III. railroads and that "Wilson's raid upon
the railroads has won the votes oil 4oo'ooV
members of the Brotherhood, for whose
votes he was primarily bidding IN MS iast

or of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: heartily approve of the sentiments
in your editorial of August 25, "The Failure
Of the Direct Primary" Some one has said
that the test of any system Of government is
the kind of man the system produces; and,
objected to that test, the direct primary law
is a failure.
1t places a premium on mediocrity and the
seeker for Office, and practically eliminates
from consideration the leaders of mer who
are not Office seekers.
The logical outcome is now being seen in
the candidacy Of William NJ. Calder, unop-
posed TO within few days ago, for the United
States Senate. Mr.. Calder may be an excel
lent man-we coucede that he is all that his
friends say he is-yet if a convention was
selecting a candidate for Senator from the
Empire State it is not conceivable that his
name would be for moment seriously con-
sidered for this high post.
New York has among her sons a number
who, by reason Of character and attachments,
are qualified fifty to represent her in the
United States Senate-men of the type Of
Nicholas Murray Butler, Seth Low, Jacob C.
Schurman-but they are not seekers for Office
or wire pullers, and so not the kind of men
the direct primary brings to the front.

The Slim Silhouette.

With bated breath we await each year to
learn the decree of fashion published
against the feminine form. Profound re-
lief springs up at learning from a great
couturier returned from Paris that the
"slim silhouette" will prevail this fall and
that everything will be narrow"-skirts,
hats, wraps and shoes.
The cynics refuse to believe that femi-
nine fashions have actually moved on.
They profess complete skepticism of the
feminist faith that women have learned to
like a certain amount of muscular free
dom and will no longer tolerate either
bygone trammels or bygone impedimenta
in the shape of superimposed bustles and
so on. Let the whim seize the authorities
and every last suffragette will rush to buy
her crinoline, is this masculine COM
placency.
We prefer to hold with the optimists and
to think that along with other heights won
a little more sense and freedom in dress
have been achieved. The quarrel is an old
one. The first and greatest of modern
feminists, George Meredith, when he was
a young and humble editor on the Ipswich
Journal" in mid-Victorian days, wrote thus
of crinoline:
1.-THE introduction of crinoline has
been in its effect morally worse than
a coup d'etat. 1t has sacrificed more
lives; it has utterly destroyed more
tempers; it has put an immense divi-
sion between the sexes. 1t has OBJ
scured us, smothered US, stabbed us"
Only inch by inch has progress come.
There have been relapses. But the main
gain has stood Silhouettes come and go,
the division between the sexes wakes and
wanes. Tempers, especially at the moment
of signing checks, still have their trials.
Some weak concessions prevail annually
But the extreme contortions are as dead as
Queen Anne. Pouring new women into
old moulds simply does not work. Freer
minds will be dressed in freer bodies or
know the reason why.

A Senseless Protest.

The recent uproar in the town hall AT
OYSTER Bav was remarkable only because
the instigators were apparently more OF
less respectable and cultivated citizens.
Similar scenes are by no means unconf-
mon on the East Side among illiterate M
migrants, who are extremely jealous oil
what they conceive to be their individual
liberty and very likely to suspect that
those concerned in the administration OF
nublic health laws are in a conspiracy
against them.
There may have been laundering at
Oyster Bay. 1t is possible that the health
officers have been overzealous in their ell
forts to control the outbreak of poliomyell-
It's: it is possible that mistakes have been
made. and that needless hardships' have
been imposed on the population All these
grievances are expressed or implied in the
resolutions passed by the people after the
chairman and members of the Town Board
had been silenced and forced to leave the
hall. But, supposing them to be justified,
these grievances hardly account for the
amazing explosion of Monday last, which
was essentially similar to the popular ex-
blossoms occurring periodically among the
more ignorant dwellers in our tenement
The protest was directed not against the
indiscretion of those engaged in enforcing
the law, but against all measures for con-
trolling the disease. 1t was solemnly al
legged that panic had been created
through the intriguing and propaganda
of certain so-called medical and scientific
men," that the quarantine established was
a piece of "medico-political barbarism"
which had been "perpetrated on the COM
munity for private gain and newspaper
notoriety," and that "the so-called cpl
demic" had been advertised for the profit
of those concerned 'to further the sale of
their nostrums.'
The resolutions, in short, were very like
those we are accustomed to hear at the
meetings of half-educated anti-vivisection-
lists, anti-vaccinists and similar cranks.
Those who proposed them had no alterna-
tive method to offer for the control of the
outbreak, but seemed only to be concerned
about ''the resumption of local business"
If better way had been suggested there
might have been some excuse for the pro-
test, but as it is evident that isolation and
are the only means as yet at
our command the action of the people at
Oyster Bay is merely senseless and stupid
as senseless and stupid as the protests
occasionally heard in the slums against
enforced cleanliness.

after Bismarck solely. or perhaps chiefly,
for the present catastrophe. When in
1866 Bismarck declined to permit his ltal-
ian ally to take the Trentino, thus leay-
inc the door into Italy in Austrian hands,
he made it Impossible for a permanent
settlement between Hapsburg and Savoy.
Until she had become master in her own
house Italy was bound to look forward
TO a new war, and all arrangements
with Austria were bound to be temporary.
In the same way, by permitting the an
nexation Of Alsace-Lorraine Bismarck
made inevitable another Franco-German
war.
At bottom the present war is only one
more Of the wars like those of the nine
teenth century in which peoples long sep
erated by arbitrary frontiers sought unity
and liberty. In the beginning we have
Serbia. looking over her own frontiers 20
the millions of Serbs under Hapsburg
rule. wholly comparable in position and
condition TO those Italians dwelling under
the rule of the same house in the last CEN
turv. We have the French, with eyes and
hearts concentrated on the two million
French citizens torn from them in 1870.
We have the Italians still determined to
complete the great work Of liberation be-
gun century ago. To-day it is the same
emotion that actually dominates the Ru-
manian policy. and it is to rescue three
million Rumanians from Hungarian rule
that Rumania will fight.
Germany and Austria, together with their
Turkish ally, have denied the right OF ma
tionality and the freedom of choice OF
peoples. Austria is the great anachro-
rism founded upon the idea of superior
race. So far as legal rights are con-
cerned. the case between Austria and
Serbia is a case in which all the law is
with Vienna. But so it was in the case
of Italy. in the case of Germany before
1866. The Triple Alliance was bound to
collapse because it was based on a con-
dition which Italy could never permanent

tined to produce the deluge because the
Serbs were just as sure to seek unity as
were the Italians a century before
Frenchmen might imagine that they had
forgotten Alsace-Lorraine and Germans
might regard the question as settled, but
al history demonstrated the fallacy Of
such conceptions.
There will be no promise of permanent
peace in Europe until all races are lib
Grated If Italy determines to annex Slavl
Dalmata, to construct Greek territory

and the Southern Slav will regain ma
tional unity, and this will be real gain
for world peace and a hopeful redrawingl

TO any stage of the hold-up as the Presi-

No Panic Legislation.

For the actual calling of the general
railroad strike The Tribune believes Pres
ident Wilson is more responsible than any
other man in the country. Although a
tentative" strike order had been sent out
under date of August IA, it is incredible
that the brotherhoods would have under
taken to carry it into effect if the Presi-
dent when he first began to act as go
between had urged them to consent to-
arbitration of the controversy as vigor
ously and continuously as he urged the
railroad executives to grant the bulk of
the unions demands. 1t is unthinkable
that they would have chosen violence in
stead of arbitration if the President had
not assured them that the public was with
them and given them all the aid and com
fort of his prestige and power.
The plain fact is that the President de-
ceived the unions. He made a grievous
mistake-no worse one could have been
made. He may have been deceived and
deluded himself. The public is not unani-
nous, as he seems to think, regarding the
eight-hour day for railroad workers; the
public has no definite official information
on which to base an opinion regarding the
merits Of the raise in pay, which is what
the tranmen really are after. But there
is no question whatever that the bulk of
the public resents, and will continue to re-
sent, the arbitrary action of that COM
paratively small group, the brotherhoods,
which has set itself TO bring on all the
horrors which the President so eloquently
describes in his address to Congress. And
there is no question that equal blame must
be assessed on the President for upholding
and confirming them in their refusal TO
arbtrate.
No attempt now to lay on Congress the
duty Of meeting the situation thus created
can absolve the President from that blame.
He acted-a most unwise and indefensible
course Of action it was, too-and he failed.
And the country, short of the interven-
ton Of Congress, on next Monday will
begin to experience the "tragical national
calamity" TO which the President has con-
tributed so much.
From Congress, at this time, it would
be idle TO expect anything but makeshift,
political action. The programme the
President submits is so vast in its scope,
so important in its bearing on the eco
nomic life of the nation, that it ought not
to be passed upon by Congress in the guise
of party measures" even in the present
crisis. There is no assurance that passage
of the entire programme would avert the
strike. And if it would, a surrender to.
the brotherhoods in such mad haste in this
instance would be confession of such
weakness. such cowardice, such incom-
petence in the agencies Of government
that it would mean virtually abdication in
favor of the unions and continual de-
mands in future from all unions, to which
no resistance would be possible if the
unions were only powerful enough politi-
cally.
The situation is, then, that unless Con-
gress passes under duress and in such
haste as to be utterly scandalous these
Presidential measures Of vast Importance
the strike must come. Bad as strike
