on its foundation The direct system OF
choosing candidates is popullstlc an
archistic and contrary TO the spirit OF
our Institutions" It destroys the repre-

Soning of the defenders of conventions.

Bronx from Brooklyn and Queens All
the Republicans on the west side of that
river favor the ProgresSiyeS in the pres

Republicans on the east side Of that
river are with the old guard There is
no escaping that conclusion. The pres
ent method of choosing delegates to con-
reflects public sentiment with marvellous
accuracy The vote in Manhattan and
The Bronx was almost unanimously one
way in this important contest. The vote
in Brooklyn and Queens was only little
less unanimously the other way.

say that the old guard sentiment is

our beautiful representative system
shows that it does. but why?
Similarly. why is ii that in Brooklyn,
where almost every one loves the ''old

of Progressive sentiment, a new one ap-
pearing unexpectedly yesterday? Why
do the PrograssiveS there herd together
as the ''old guard followers do in Man

IN IMMIGRANT WoMEN's BEHALF.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The case of Mrs. Omfry Wogno. re-
ported in this mornings Tribune, offers oc-
casion for a sharp inquiry as to the eA-
traordinary discrimination exercised by the
immigration officials on the mere ground
of sex. In this age of self-respectlnS ana
self-supporting women it is surely an IN
decent outrage that every Immigrant
woman should be treated as a criminal
and forced to rely on the active assistance
of others for the mere right to enter this
country.
woman without acquaintance in the
United States has as much right TO enter
here as has a man in the same sltuatloh'
and our officials pass beyond the bounds
of common fairness and common decency
in their impudent assumption that any
woman travelling alone and not gong di-
rectly to friends here must enter the coun-
try for an immoral purpose. 1t would be
exactly as fitting to exclude every man who
had no friends to guarantee him on the
ground that he is probably thief.
The medieval idea that women are per
retual infants, who must always he under
the special protection of some other per-
SON and must never be suffered to travel
by themselves is unspeahably anachronis-
tic in a twentieth century republic The
immigration bureau is, of course, bound TO
take all reasonable precautions against the
entry of a flood of diseased and criminal
persons. but its extensive powers should be
exercised in the spirit of equal justice 1t
is high time that so emphatic protest
were made against the present insolent in
vasion of the rights of women as to bring
the officials to their senses in this matter.
A woman should be admitted or excluded
on precisely the same terms and on pre-
ciseIy the same state OF facts man.

Though the report that DR.. Cooks
financial hacker is up in the Arctic
regions, looking for the explorers rec
ordS needs TO he confirmed, it has an
air of probability Mr. Bradley might
well wish to follow up his original en-
terpriSe by a hunt for evidence which
would indicate how successful it was.
His own reputation is not so deeply in

is DR. Cooks, but it would be the most
natural thing in the world for Mr.. Brad
lev 10 wish to get at the exact facts. So
far as we recall, he has not openly re-
undated the man whose polar eXpedi-
ton he equipped
No doubt DR. Cook himself now recOg-
nizes much more distinctly the nature
of the proof he ought to offer, to sub
stantiate his claim, than he did year
ago. Perhaps even yet he will make his
evidence public. Should he do so, with
any appearance Of good faith. he would
be entitled to fresh hearing. All that
the University of Copenhagen undertook
to say. after examining his story, was
that his evidence was insufficient. The
Danish Judges did not feel warranted in
declaring that he did not reach the pole.
Nevertheless. many incidental circum-
stances shook public confidence in his
veracity. More than one Arctic explorer
regarded his outfit as insufficient. His
assertions regarding the conquest of
Mount Mckinley were disputed. For
these and similar reasons suspicion
that he was an impostor was excited.
and the verdict Of the University of
Copenhagen tended TO confirm that be
lief. To overcome it now would be
herculean task. but he deserves chance
if he seeks il.
