Mr.. HOPPER SPEAKS
The Registers Views on Fusion Politics,
Past and Present

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS The Tribune's motto is First to
Last-the Truth: News-Edtorials- Adver'
tisements," as a constant reader Of The
Tribune have no doubt you will publish the
following anent the article in yesterdays
issue on Fusion Chiefs Pick Mitchell to Run
in 1917"
While it is rather early to select full tick.
cts for city and county Offices for 1917,
know that moves in that direction are being
made and it might be just as well to start
straight.
| did my best in two or three appearances
before the Committee OF One Hundred and
Seven in 1913 to make the campaign one for
municipal ownership, but failed.
In the committees effort to unite all The
minor parties the independence League go'
places on the ticket in some of the boroughs
was finally named by the committee Tor
Register of New York County.
Shortly after my selection as the candidate
for Register |, for reasons that need not De
detailed here, left tn. Independence League
Not wishing TO remain on the ticket unde'
a misapprehension, having left the league
placed my resignation in the hands OF 'ne
committee. Some days later ! met Messfs'
Hapgood and Price at their request and si's'
full understanding of the situation as snen
known was requested 10 withdraw u!
resignation, which / did.
At that time the Gaynor candidacy was "
its highest and il did not look as II Mitenel
had ghost of show TO win, so ! was All
the more willing to remain on the ticket, |"
fear Of defeat never prevents my making
fight for what consider a principle.
AS | understood it, the objects Of the cam
paign were to be efficiency, economy and
businesslike administration. with no ma
chine politics like Tammany was supposed "
practise If the Registers Office has not been
run on these lines for the last three Yeas
then | do not expect nor do | deserve con-
sderation from any decent citizen, let alon'
any fusion committee, for those were Wv
lines on which the ticket, myself ineIude''
was elected 10 work.
With reference to appointments, the mos,
responsible ard one of the two highest pA'
positions in the Office gave to RepuoiieA''
However, if any one thought that my p'
election business administration promise VS.
fake, as similar promises sometimes ~
end that my duty was not to run the kss'.
ter's Office properly but TO strengthen "a
Republican machine, am sorry for MN, %"
am sure by this time his mind mas Wv.
disabused of the idea II such persons s's
to make up the fusion ticket for next !.s'
why, very properly, / will not be conslos,.

What Does 1t Mean?

In statement explaining the peace
gesture Of the President the Secretary OF
State yesterday said
u mean by that that we are drawing nearer
the verge OF war ourselves and therefore We
are entitled to know exactly what each bel
Hrerent seeks in order that we may regulate
our conduct in the future
What does this mean? Does il mean,
Tor example, that Mr.. Gerard brought TO
this country word that Germany was plan
ming TO unloose a submarine campaign Of
desperation in the spring if peace did not
come, and that such a campaign would in
,olve the United States in the war?
Was it to avoid the consequences Of a
German campaign that Mr.. Lansing IN
vited al the powers 10 make known their
peace terms?
Or is it possible that the Allies, that
Great Britain and France, for example,
have communicated their intention to muir
der American women and children in a
German fashion if the war continues until
spring?
Was it TO avoid the possibility Of the
fulflment Of British threat Of crime
against Americans that Mr.. Wilson spoke?
Certainly the people Of the United
States are entitled to know, not that they
are in danger merely, but from whom they
are in danger
Again. if we are in danger. if we are
entitled TO know the purposes Of the Allies
and of the Central Powers because we are
on the verge Of war, would moi all neces-
sary ends be served if Mr. Wilson instead
Of undertaking TO establish the purposes
Of the nations at war toward each other,
should ask them for declaration Of pur-
pose in the matter Of the United States?
Now that Mr.. Lansing has said so much,
the American people are entitled to know
ill. and they will await an explanation
impatiently. We are on the verge of war
Mr.. Lansing has announced it. Very well,
who threatens US? Is it Britain? Is it
Germany? Is it Bulgaria? Is it Portu-
gal? We should know, and we must
know.
A final interrogation Did the President,
feeling that the United States was on the
verge of being drawn into the war, ask
the belligerents TO state their purposes,
that this nation might decide which ALI
ance TO join?
Mr. Lansing has wholly transformed the
character Of the Presidents action.
Neither the President nor the Secretary
Of State can now refuse to explain.

Horses Sharp Shod Do Slip
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | see by note in your paper of
this date that a correspondent says that
"horses sharp shod do not slip on snow
or ice"
The difficulty in New York is that half of
the streets are cleared and half left, and a
few minutes on the cleared streets duls the
shoes they will not hold on packed snow
or ice
have owned and driven horses for many
years and have tried all kinds Of shoes, and
so far nothing really prevents slipping on
our streets. Chains help little, but they
are so easily lost that few can afford to
use them.
/ find that my horses do best with no
shoes on snow. but team horses would wear
their feet too fast. A. $. CURTIS.

Plain, Good English
r OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Lloyd George did not strain himself
for artificial points but spoke the speech that
was in him. As We often say OF Mr.. Roose-
yelt's speeches, so We can say Of this one, il
was put across with a wallop. II was plain
and good English by an Englishman. II our
President still maintains after reading Lloyd
Georges words that he does not know what
the war is about. his insistence in this re-
spect is cacoethic.

Cedar Rapids-offieers Road Boosters

Cedar Rapids, April 4.-With a large
attendance of enthusiastic, good roads
boosters, the first official trail to the
proposed national park at McGregor
was organized at a meeting held Mon
day afternoon in the rooms of the
Cedar Rapids Commercial Club.
Many prominent men from central
and northern parts of the state were
present to assist in organizing this
trail which will lead from Ottumwa
to McGregor by way of Cedar Rapids.
Officers were elected, bylaws adopted
and the work Of forming the trail as
sociation was started with spirit
which bodies we'll for the future.
Owing to large amount of auto
mobile travel over this part of the
state there has always been a demand
for a we'll marked and organized trail
leading from Ottumwa to the north.
Since the agitation for the establish
ment of a national part at McGregor
the demands for this road have in
creased and it is due to the hard work
of the commercial clubs and good
roads boosters in the cities and coun-
try lying along this route that an or
ganization has now been started which
will provide for trail which will be
we'll marked, and registered. have its
own copyrighted signs. and be under
the administration of an association
which will conduct the affairs Of the
trail in a businesslike manner.

The places have tables on which are

made to provide sociability.
That the places pay is, indicated ny
