TUESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 81. 1911,
AMENDMENT OF TIE TREATY SCHEDULE.

He1 ONGRESs cannot amend the reciprocity treaty. 1t must he
" accepted or rejected as il is written. Every schedule must
remain in il unchanged. If it shall be desired after the
treaty goes into operation to make any change III the schedules
there is nothing in the treaty to prevent if the United States and
Canada are mutually agreed. Objection has been offered to ratif
cation on the ground that certain articles of food embraced in
schedule + still pay duty. although at a reduced rate. These
articles include mutton and other fresh, sailed. smoked II canned
meats. But on all these articles Canada has imposed duties, and
the tax is, by the treaty, placed at a much ioHet reciprocal figure.
Cattle of all kinds that are used for food are on the free list, and
their conversion into fresh meat is only a matter of the employ
ment of labor. We ought to kill cattle ard furnish their meat
to consumers as cheaply as is done in Canada. The meat trust
cannot control the importation of food animals unless it is enabled
to form al international combination. Nor would such a thing
be practicable against governmental power in both countries.

THE REPRo4CH OF THE YOUNG LOBSTER.

\ New York and New England it is a criminal ohense to expose
Ii for sale young Holsters less than nine inches in length. In
New Jersey, however, under the present laws Holsters of any
length can be exposed for sale, as the law does not prohibit such
sale. The New York and New England laws were passed to pro
tect a great industry. If the lobster young are taken and de-
stroyed the species must soon disappear from our coast. There
is the same reckless destruction of young fish by the pound nets,
which, as a rule, have a close mesh that catches and holds the
Young fry Efforts have been made in the Legislature to compel
the poundnet owners to enlarge the mesh of their nets. and thew
failed. Unsuccessful attempts also have been made to qt a law
passed to protect the lobster fry. Assemblyman Hendrickson. of
Monmouth, deems it, favorable opportunity this year to get such
Z bill passed. 1t ! a reproach upon the State that young Holsters,
the sale OF which is criminal in other States, should be brought
TO New Jersey and sold in large quantities, with the sanction of
the law.

eve Don't Need Terrer schools"
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Those who have been of the opinion
that the United States has enough
schools, hat is, enough different kinds
of schools, will perhaps wonder why
it was deemed necessary by a number
of "intellectuals'' to establish another
the Ferror school. Not wen the Social
lists, who usually kick" against every
thing have objected to the public school
system as now in vogue; but, never
theless, there are a number of men n
women in this country who think that
the Ferrer way, which was perhaps
necessary in Spain, Is essential to the
happiness and the education of the
American youth.
To my mind this Is nonsensicAl. We
do not need the Ferrer school. Our
children are getting along nicely as IL
IS, n parents would be foolish to
send their young ones to the imported
institution.
1t is said that the teachers in this
rev school will give the children their
w way and let them study the things
they are best fitted for, or for
which they show a preference. How
many children, until they have been
graduated from the High School, know
what they want? How many of them
know then?
Dur intellectual" friends may mean
we'll but they are working on a useless
proposition. If they really want to do
something good they ought to see that
children now working IN the shops and
! factories who should be In school be
sent there by the officials Of he various
cities, and the wages Of the parents
increased so that it viii not be heces-
sary to send the children to work.
We need more schools, not different
kinds Of schools.

Woman Suffrage and Reasoning,


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Not long ago 1 had the pleasure Of
listening TO a woman give her reasons
for asking for the ballot. Although /
am by no means a "suffragist man"
nor yet converted to the cause OF
woman suffrage. /, nevertheless, am in
more sympathy with the movement
than l was before attending h lecture.
After asking the speaker some ques-
tons which she very readily and very
satisfactorily answered, q man suffra-
gist" approached me and began to ex-
proposition. I was very much sur
prised to hear that this man. despite
the fact that he thought women ought
to vote, was of the opinion that, as yet,
women do moi reason as men do. Sbut
do things by instinct, or intuition. I
asked him IL he thought 1t fair that
unreasoning creatures should have the
privilege OF voting, when 1t is difficult
for even a thinking person to decide
just how to cast his ballot, and that a
study of political and industrial condi-
ions was essential to the person that
would vote intelligently. The man ex-
planned that since women are affected
by conditions they should have the
right to help make the conditions.

or not.
All this seems yfry foolish to me. AL

Aviator McCurdy's failure to reach
Havana yesterday in his widely ad-
vertised flight from Key West marked
rather a personal disappointment than
the collapse of the experiment. Indeed.
the judges decided that he had practi-
cally fulfilled all of the conditions OF
the flight and awarded him the prizes
which had been offered for 1t.
But, granted that McCurdy In effect
demonstrated that a man might fly
across the h~undred-mile stretch OF
ocean separating Cuba from the coast
of Florida, that personal disappoint-
ment must have been of formidable
proportions. He had started out to do
what no man had ever done and had
all but accomplished it. Before him
lay distinctly outlined the harbor and
the city Of Havana. Throngs We're
waiting to give him an enthusiastic
welcome inc he was forced. because of
a minor accident. to alight and sur
render all this acclaim he had right
fully won for himself.

way toward ~reconciling McCurdy to
the fact that the real prizes of his
achievement were snatched away from
him when they seemed well within his
grasp.

That a bipartisan political COM

which the connection between the po-

and maintained.
That to such connection may be
charged great part of the ineffi.

That the police department as now
