NOT A MATTER OF GARB.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In to-day's Tribune you publish
personal and highly impertinent article upon
the looks and hat of Miss Crystal Eastman
She is to be sent to Albany to exhibit them,
1t is said Miss Eastman's most able report
of industrial conditions in PittsburS led to
the Legislature making its first appropri-
alton for the investigation OF industrial ac-
cidents in the State of New York, and she
was appointed by Governor Hughes as
secretary of the commission, which she is
now. May it not be possible that these facts
weighed almost as much as her hat in her
selection as a delegate? Though highly
conventional, are not these methods of
treating the interests OF women becoming
a little out of date?
And may / suggest in closing that the
last year has shown an unprecedented
growth in all suffrage and progressive or
ganizations of women Ole Equal Fran
chise Society from 1Ss to $3.50. All of these
women are ready and waiting to subscribe
to that New York daily which most ade-
quately reports their special interests

TIE BRITISH TARIFF VOTE.

The vote of the British House Of Com
mons on Mr.. Austen Chamberlain TAR
iff reform amendment resulted pfeclsely
as II was expected to do. but was none
the less highly significant. The ameho-
ment was defeated, of course. We nave
no doubt that Mr.. Balfour and the ma
iority of his followers desired ana lh
tended that it should be defeated, since
It would have been exceedingly lncoh-
venient. if not worse, for them TO nave
overthrown the government at tnls tinhc-
The Unionists could not undertake 10
conduct a government with their pres
ent minority of the House, ana anothet
appeal to the country at this time would
not be advisable.
The vote demonstrated, however, that
the government coalition is by no means
perfect. The Irish NatiOnalists OF DotA
factions refrained from voting. quite
careless of the fate OF their Libefal Al
lies. Mr.. Asquith might have been
beaten and forced to resign or to dis
solve Parliament for all they cared SO
by virtue of the tWoscore LaDorlte Votes
the government won by marrow mar
gin. commanding only minority OF the
votes of the whole House. That c1rcum-
stance was ominous Of what may nap
pen at any time. The Irish may again
refuse to vote when their abstentlon
means defeat for the government, OF
they may actually cast their votes
against the government.
More and most significant was the
fact that the Unionists voted solidly Tor
tariff reform. Only few years ago
men were saying everywhere that OF
course Great Britain would remain
free trade country. and that whatever
q few old-fashioned Tories might pTi-
.yately say or do no considerable party
or important statesmen would ever seri-
ously advocate protection. Yet here IS
the party which for ten years recently
governed the country with a strong ma
jority and which to-day has plurality
of the voters of the kingdom unanl-
mously committing itself to the principle
of a protective tariff The fact denotes
q change In British political and eco
nomicaI convictions with which the
United Kingdom and the whole CONNER
cial and industrial world will have most
seriously to reckon in the near future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE CASE OF PRINCIPAL DEvLIN.

Sir: A letter in this mornings Tribune
signed by William Temple Emmett charges
The Bureau of Municipal Research with
msrepresenting Michael E. Devlin, princi-
pal of Public School g. Manhattan. We neg
to call attention to the fact that MI En-
NETT did not specify one misstatement' nor
could he have specified misstatement, pc
cause every statement issued by this bureau
relative to the Devlin case is based upon
record of the Supreme Court Of the state
OF New York or written records in the
Board of Education, the Bureau OF street

Had Mr. Emmett consulted these original
records before writing his letter he couid

IRELAND AND LIBERAL PARTY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: We cannot blame Mr. Asquith for
treachery, that gentleman, replying 10
an Irish question on January lS, sald: 1
promise no legislation Of any kind In the
next Parliament until We have settled our
conclusions with tho House of Lords. Mr.
]. A. Pease, chief whip of the Liberal
party, told Sussex audience the same day
that the Liberals were under no pledge TO
grant Home Rule to Ireland" Are Home
Rule advocates not on~the wrong track in
centrng their hopes on the Liberals. who
shelved Home Rule in 1894, subordina ting 1t
in 1895. finally dropping it from their pro-
grammes OF 1860 and 1906?
Considering there are many pledged anti
Home Rulers in the present Liberal party,
one must come to realize that an 1rlsh

statesmen like Parnell and Gladstone were

John Redmond with all due respect. is \
poor politician. He was duped before by
the Liberals. and won them 40 seats, but
in return they offered the Irish councils
bill, which was rejected as an insult to the
people. His attitude on the budget has
brought into being an ''insurgent party" In
the Irish ranks.

OPEN AND SHUT MINDED.

The hearings before the House Com
mittee on Agriculture upon the anti
futures bill are said to have impressed
the Southern and Southwestern men on
the committee with the fact that there
is much TO be said in favor of future"
trading in grain. although they remain
fixed in their opinion that future" trad
ing in cotton is all wickednesS. They
are reported TO be astonished at the
beneficial purposes that trading in grain
futures serves for the protection Of
actual contracts in grain and -four. But
they maintain that there is more actual
dealing in grain and less gambling
and that the rules. of the grain eX-
changes are more equitable than are
those of the cotton exchanges.
Perhaps they may be right in regard
to the last contention, for the report of
Mr. Herbert Knox Smith. the Commits
sioner Of Corporations. severely crti-
cised the contract for the delivery OF
cotton on the New York Cotton Ex
change But it is obvious that in every
thing else their view is colOred by their
prejudices. In respect to the opera
tions Of future dealing in grain they can
listen dispassionateIy. 1t hardly con-
Germs them at all. Therefore they can
understand that the handling and mar
keting and distributing through the year
of crops of grain would be accompanied
by great and unnecessary risks except
for trading in grain futures. But cot
ton-Why. every one knows that the
South has been robbed of millions by
the cotton gamblers. The South knows
that the gamblers keep the price of cot
ton down just as We'll as the consumers
Know that the gamblers keep it up. And
