LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN AUSTRALIA
Mrs Blackwell Quotes Ez-Premier Strang-
yays on It's Benefits There.
li+or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The secretary of the Mems Antl-0ufrage
League in England lately wrote TO the Hon IL B.
T. Strangways. ex-Premier of South Australia
urging him to Join the league. Mr.. StransWays'
who is living in England wrote In reply;
Those are the best friends Of their country VINO
can recognize the necessity for change when the
time for that change has come. was member
Of the government Of South Australia which. IN
1861, gave women the right to vote IN municipal
matters. This worked satisfactorily that IN
later years the parliamentary vote has been given
TO women, and it has been found that the exercise
of the parliamentary franchise by women has been
a check on insobriety and immortality, both or
which are so prevalent in this country. and are
among the first indications of the decadence of a
nation"
South Australia gave women vote FOR members
of the State Parliament in 1885, West Australia in
1900 New South Wales in 1902, Tasmania in 1903'
Queensland in 1898 and Victoria in 1903. II 1t had
worked badly in South Australia the neighoorlhs
states would hardly have adopted it
More significant still, in 1902 ali the women or
federated Australia given the right to vote
for members of the national Parliament

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir. China is arousing herself from the sleep Of
centuries She is catching the spirit Of the mod
ern world in many ways. Eager to remove the
curse Of opium, which rests upon millions of her
nopuIatIon, she should have the sympathy of the
entire civilized world in this important matter The
recent Shanghai Opium Conference, called by NJ
Roosevelt, had representatives from twelve ma
tions The aim OF this gathering to help China
in her fight against the traffic In the drug This
jury Of twelve nations gave a unanimous verdict
that China sincere in undertaking to Danish
opium formidable obstacle to this noble en-
deavor it appears. is Engand's opposition to the
reform, it will, if accomplished reduce the reve-
uues of India. It is a blot the good name of
England that she forced opium upon China over
sixty-fve years ago. The United States has rum
problem TO deal with Many states have decided
for the prohibition of the liquor traffic Suppose
now that some foreign power should attempt 10
force these states 10 admit shiploads of rum Would
not national Indignation burn to a white heat and
would not Congress at call an army of
million men into the field and the negotiation
OF loans to the extent OF $1,000 OoOOo If necessary
to repe the foreign intruder?
China, certainly. should have free hand in her
endeavor. Wilberforce raised his voice in England
against slavery, and another Wilberforce may be
slaves OF opium from their fatal bondage to A
danuing drug. Papers of high moral tone like
The Tribune, are quoted by the papers OF England
Nav We not ask then, that The Tribune in fits edi-
torial columns will lift up its voice for Justice for
humanity, and so encourage all right minded Eng
lsh people TO help China IN every possible way in
the mighty task of lifting off the curse OF opium
from her vast population? N L II. BOGERT

PARCELS POST IN ENGLAND.
Experience Shows 1t Has Not Been Disad-
vantage to Small Merchants.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: So much ink has been shed and wind wasted
to prove that the poor country merchant would be
ruined II he accepted the offer Of the Postmaster
General to the rates OF transportation on his
mail matter that I think this letter from L W.
Cowan should be Of much interest and use. Par
GELS post has been established fact in Great
Britain since 1855. Nearly quarter century OF
experience should suffice to prove q truth Mr
Cowan here summarizes Brtain's experience:
For some years l have watched the controversy
respecting parcels post, and have been surprised
the objections put forward-objections that nave
proved TO be groundless considering the very salts
factory manner in which parcels post works IN hu-
rope. When I in California I supplied z friend
who was president of the Postal Progress League
with statistics which showed what inestinable
boon parcels post has been all classes, and how,
instead OF being q hindrance. it Is a stimulus 10
trade
Il have seen an extract from The Shoe and
Leather Gazette IL which endeavor IS made TO
show that parcels post would be an advantage 70
the large mail order houses and an Injury TO the
smaller local merchants This is not true, for we
have found It has been just the reverse. Small
shopkeepers who could not keep a large stock OF
goods formerly lost orders because they could not
compete with larger firms who with their larger
capital could afford to keep a big stock Since the
introduction parcels post all this IS changed and
these small shnpkeepers have been able 10 get a
living as they do not need to have large stock
on hand. samples Of the different goods being SUM-
the goods delivered al their doors in from one
to three days at the prices would be
charged at the large houses The customer does
not nav more bur the tradesman gets his legit-
mate profit.
1T does not appear that the wholesale houses
have suffered in any way. and there is no doubt
that the small dealers have been benefited, and
the beneht has extended TO the purchasing public.
for it has brought shopping facilities OF the city
within the reach Of every one IN the country. No
doubt your express companies Will suffer; but is It
not an anomaly that II more IN send g parcel
from New York to San Francisco by express than
II does from London to- say, China by parcels
post? Even parcels from London to different
points in the United States cost less for postage
than the express charges IN the country. II the
express companies can make profit on English
parcels after deducting Of freight by steamer
across the Atlantic. they surely charging too
much for carrying parcels in the country. II is
surprising that a practical people should
have so long kept out Of parcels post. and sub
rnftted to exorbitant express charges No one in
Europe would for one moment advocate doing
away with the advantage derive from par
cells post I hope you may also soon share the
same benefits with U.S. A word to the wise is
enough. EDWARD BERN Il n.

ANOTHER CLUBS LITTLE ROW.
Mrs. Lewis Resigns from Woman's Republi-
can Club on Account of Fed Politics.

The resignation of Mrs. Sarah Dickinson Lewis
from the Woman's Republican Club is one of the
things that clubwomen are talking about these
DAYS. AS Mrs. Lewis campaign manager for
Mrs Belle de Rivera in the recent City Federation
election and Mrs William Cumming Story. prest-
dent of the club arrayed openly on the side
Of Mrs. William Grant Brown, the resignation Of
Mrs. Lewis is taken as an indication that she has
forgotten this circumstance. II also points TO
some difference OF opinion in the feminine section
Of the G. O. P. on the suffrage question. Formerly
the leaders OF the Republican women preserved a
vigorous non-p partisan attitude on this question,
but they are taking sides. Mrs. Story has
come out openly for suffrage and Mrs. Lewis has
Joined the 'antis" giving as her reason her dis
gust with federation politics. In all this the wise
acres perceive possibilities OF unusual interest
