GETTING EVEN

Revenge has always been sweet. we
are told. and i'll New York one of the
sweetest forms Of revenge which the
property owner can get. after q differ
ence of opinion with the neighbOrS,
seems to be to advertise the place for
sale Ito negroes only. In The Bronx
a fine property OH a deSira bic street has
been sold 10 Il member Of the negro
race. and while the seller insists that
the purchaser was favored only because
he offered the highest price for it. the
neighbOrS have taken 4 different view of
the matter. Y Brooklyn woman who
thought she had grievance and wished

chasers in such cases that they lend
themselves to a scheme to get even. =
The negro Who purchases under such
conditions Knows perfectly well that to

EQUAL SUFFRAGE HOME ISSUE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your recent editorial on equal suf-
frage in New Zealand illustrates the privf-
lege Of an editor TO write according TO his
pleasure on any subject. 1 have always
yearned to edit paper fer this very rea-
son. and have been deferred only by finan-
ciaI considerations In spite of the criti-
cism of The Outlook and other high au-
thorities. there are still many people in this
country who consider the Declaration of In
dependence q sound though untried doc
trine. AS one of this class your editorial
flied me with Indignation; but when i re-
read il with the purpose of answering its
arguments l find nothing tangible. You
concede that women vote with even more
zeal than men. You thus prove for us the
rrclevancr of the latest anti-suffrage post
er. Women do not want the vote
You must confess that ii is hardly fair 10
consider seriously the fanatics Of any cause
Surely no sane adherent of the principle of
democracy ever claims that the votes of
the mothers and daughters of men can
bring in the millennium. In 1907, after four
teen years of equal suffrage in New Zea-
land. the Prime Minister the Colonial Sec
rotary and Attorney General, the Minister
of Lands and the Minister OF Education and
Public Health. as well as many other prom
inent New Zealanders, bore written teSt1-
mony to the beneficial results of votes for
women. both to the women themselves and
TO the country.
You stated that politics was morally on
the down grade in New Zealand. but offered
no evidence in proof of this grave charge.
However if this were IL would be no ar
eumert against equal suffrage. If all the
ADULTS qualified to express their opinion as
Ia how they should be governed in that far
away country have. by their votes. installed
government morally retrogressive. why
then IL represents them. aud that is all anv
government has a right to do.
Foreign missions never appealed To me.
and ! think our time is better spent in doing
what we can to improve evils We know 10
exist at home rather than In even specuIat-
ing on far away evils OF whose existence
can never be so sure The question
that Is really important Is whether we have
here in New York a government represent
ing its citizens. We find that our govern
ment taxes half it's citizens without their
consent that politics has so taken 10 do
mestic life that the very things a motber
must have to care for her children are what
they are because OF politics W. ind
everywhere waste OF child life. and moth
ers amounted at the ballot box We find
legislators busy putting taxes on every
thing that a woman uses for her family
and the woman powerless TO influence those
Legislators. who concern themselves only
with the voters who elect them. In spite
of the fact that politics has usurped the
functions historically associated win

no longer nave the power TO safeguard their
families they are stil held responsible for
