COMMISSIONER WHITE SAYS STATE SUPERVISION
OF WATER SUPPLIES is A GOOD IDEA.
Alfred T. White. Brooklyn's Commissioner Of City
Works under Mayor Schioren said to a Tribune
porter last evening that he had read with great
Measure Senator Brush's bill introduced at Albany
providing for the appointment of commission to
look into the States water supply Mr.. White sad:
Il think Or. Brush's bill Is a step in the right
direction and indicates the right way to begin this
movement Other States have appointed commits
sions to investigate the water supply. among them
Massachusetts and New-Jersey. I think that this
IA A new movement for NewYork, but 1t is
SainIy a good one When the State has once initiated
the policy Of watching its water supply and caring
for IT, II will doubtless maintain an active interest
in II, as II ought to. The State Board Of Health
has always been ready TO act on the subject upon
request but It is Of course. out OF Its province to
bother about the Of water for canals and manu-
featuring purposes. -,
There are three distinct calls made upon the
water supply Of the state-one for the canals, one
for manufacturing and the third for the supply OF

fere with each other some day. and the State

needs of the different interests. No cities
in the Union have better water than New
York and Brooklyn and 1t Is the interior towns
and cities that the legislators are likely to interest
Themselves about especially. am pleased to see
that this movement has been taken up. and believe
that great good will result from it,

COUNTRY WOMEN AND THE SUFFRAGE.

COUNTRY WOMEN AND The SUFFRAGE.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir One OF the arguments Of the anti-sufragist Is
that II women be allowed to vote the corrupt or
purchasable vote OF women-whIch a suffrage
fanatic would not be unwse as to imply would
exist-would be used as the purchasable male
vote Is used. to further selfish ends and pro-
mote unwisc and corrupt legislation. This Is often
met by the statement that the women In the country
districts will overbaance any preponderance of ig
norant and vicious votes that may obtain In
city wards The fallacy Of this argument shows
plainly upon the face OF It, II the male vote OF the
country cannot counteract overwhelm the cor
rupt male vote OF the cities. how will the
dtion Of things be bettered by doubling not only the
vote OF tho country. but that Of the cityf
But what will the ballot mean to the women In the
country? Nothing at all. except physical discom-
fort In the first place. 1t will make necessary their
registering one OF two days at the place OF
registry, which in many instances will be at least
five miles from their homes. The variation OF
weather, which to-day Is one of the elements of
political uncertainty will be strong factor In the
polling Of the female ballot. particularly In the
country II the day Of registration be fair. II Is
just possible that husband wife, and daughters
with the hired help" male and female. and the
baby and the small children who cannot be left ct
homo alone. will drive to the village tavern. where
the registration usually L. held and register: and
that on the coming election day" they viii ill be
