The w. U. Debaters-
The tryout of the Willamette Law
school for the debate with the Ore
gon Law College occurred in the
University chapel last night. There
were six competitors who spoke on
the subject of "Single Tax" George
Wilson, Glenn Wells and Virgil
Lloyd were given the places on the
team. The judges we're Attorneys
Keyes, Unruh and Smith. The try
out was not as good as 1t should
have be,n though the three VIII
made the team are excellent debat-
ers, yet they lack experience with
the exception of Wilson. Sydney Gra-
ham and Robert Eakin, Jr., who were
on the team which defeated Oregon
last year did not try out last night
because their time is limited and
they could not do justice to the de-
bate. Roy Mott junior law, who has
debated great deal in other col
leges, also did not enter. Owing to
this, Willamette will not be repre-
sented as well as she might have
been in the coming debate, but never
| theless the team expects to take the
Oregon bunch into camp.

THE OPEN Caucus.

The favor with which the Democratic
House caucus regards the proposal TO
do business hereafter with open doors
may lead 10 another important innova-
ton in legislative methods. Tradition
has been strong enough to keep the pro-
ceedings Of legislative caucuses secret
i'm spite Of the fact that the business
transacted in them is usually Of just
as public a character rs that transacted
in the open sessions Of the two houses.
The inconsistency Of publicly debating
in either branch questions which, so
far as the majority is concerned, have
already been settled in private has at
last dawned on the politicians at the
CAPITAL. although the awakening might
not have come 50 soon had II not been
for the Slashing attacks to which Mr..
Underwood was recently subjected in
1.-The COmmoner" because Of Mr. Bry-
ans not getting his news Of what hap
pened in the Democratic House caucus
straight. The chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee does not care TO
take further chances of intentional or
unintentional Misrepresentation, and
most other Democratic statesmen are in
the same precautionary frame Of mind.
The changes in the House rules have
given the caucus increased power and
importance inasmuch as it now under
takes 10 discharge functions hitherto
performed largely by the Speaker and
his inner circle of advisers. 1t must
pass on questions Of legislative policy,
and it is impossible to know who are
really responsible for the policies
adopted by the majority If decisions
continue 10 be reached in secret con
clave whose deliberations are diyulged
only incompletely and usually inaccu-
rately. The average Representative
exercises relatively greater power in
caucus than in committee or on
the floor, and his constituency is far
more interested in knowing how he
represents it there than how he repre-
sents it in the public transactions Of
the House. The new order in the lower
branch of Congress, therefore, embraces
an open caucus as one Of its proper and
necessary instrumentalities.
Too much importance has been at
tached in Washington 10 secret methods
of legislation. The public business
would be transacted 10 better advantage
If antiquated methods were dropped.

THE LOGIC OF CHIVALRY
A Word in Behalf of Protecting
Wnmen in the Bridge Crush.

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: In Il recent issue Of The Tribune it
was stated that the sudraglsts objected to
a proposed rule giving precedence TO WON
en- i'm seating passengers in the Brooklyn
Bridge cars on the ground that women de-
sired 10 privileges. but complete equality
with men. As a suffragist l wish TO take
issue on the equality proposition. Woman
suffrage has nothing whatever 20 do with
physical or mental equality. Men are not
physically or mentally equal and this fact
does not affect the vote.
Women cannot claim physical equality
with men. except on general grounds Of
health and endurance. on the ground Of
muscular strength they are inferior, ana
the structure OF the wonan's form and her
function of maternity render her unfit for
certain forms of muscular endurance.
Hence. the practical and sensible rule,
which every gentleman respects, of giving
women precedence I'm seating. Women
clerks kept standing all day almost nvari-
ably suffer severely, while men, unless
weakened 10y illness, endure his strain
with ease Tho suffrage contention IS for
the rights of citizenship. which arc indc-
pcudcut Of other forms Of equality and are
founded upon the fundamental republican
principle of the consent of the governed
The rules Of courtesy are not superficial,
they do not imply arbitrary privilege They
are built upon fundamental truths.

WEED OF WATER CONSTELLATION.

The threatened scarcity Of water in
this city is anticipated by an actual scar
city I'm some Of the adjacent communities
at the north. which is not at all surpris-
irg, i'm view Of the rspidity with which
those attractive suburbs are growing In
population and, therefore, in needs, and
of the rigidity with which the possible
sources of their supply are circum-
scribed They lie between this city at
the south and the region which this city
has appropriated for water supply at
the north, and are thus dependent upon
the few streams which lie In that thick
" settled portion of Westchester County
Thus. there is not even a fixed but an
actually diminishing supply for a stead
lily and rapidly increasing demand The
end of such a process is inevitable.
The supply is diminishing because In
a thickly settled region, even if the pre-
cipitatiOn does not decrease, as some
authorities insist it. does. the possible
conservation and utilization of it GER
tainly do decrease, and the danger. we
might almost say the certainty, Of its
contamination increases. Guarded as
closely as they may be. the streams in
Westminster County and other suburban
regions can scarcely he kept forever in
potable condition. The best TO be hoped
for is that they can be so utilized as to
provide an adequate supply until the
completion of the Catskill aqueduct
which will bring water not only to New
York City but also 10 all suburban com
munities along the line which wish TO
avail themselves of f. It is one of the
best features Of the Catskill scheme that
it assures an ample supply for those
suburban communities whose natural
sources of nearby supply have already
been appropriated by this city.
But this circumstance and the whole
situation emphasize the increasingly ur-
gent need Of conserving TO the utmost
degree the supply Of potable wafer by
Prohibiting the pollution Of streams and
lakes with sewage or otherwise. How
ever bountifully any section Of country
may have been provided by nature with
water courses and reservoirs, it may be
reduced to restitution if an increasingly
dense population pours all its waste into
those streams. The poisoning of wells
by bellgerents in time Of war has been
made illegal and is regarded as infamous.
It is difficult TO regard It as practically
much less mischievous TO polute sources
of water supply in time of peace

P4RKS AND PLAYGROUNDS.

Park Commissioner Slower began bis
work lay announcing his intention 10
"populariZe' the parks and planning for
Fairgrounds In Central Park. Mr.. Lay,
the newly appointed landscape archi'
tect. has Just completed careful in
spection of Central Park. What he
found is even worse than what he
expected TO find. though hardly worse
than thc conditions which the observing
public has known TO exist. His com
ment thereon places him in direct oppo-
sition to Mr.. StOyers theories as to
making the parks most useful TO the
public. "a park is for the whole com
munity,' says Mr.. Lay. "a playground
ION the contrary. is only for one class
the children. Decreasing the size OF
the park for a playground would de
Grease its enjoyment by the whole
public"
The landscape architects criticism of
the smallness of the force available fol
park work, the soil conditions, the di-
lapidated shrubbery, the litter scattered
broadcast and the Fifth avenue elms in
dicates that he has gone about his pre-
liminary work thoroughly. He thinks
it would take years TO put Central Park
into such condition that New York
ers could again consider 1t wonderful
creation. lie and the Park Commits
sioner will merit the city's gratitude If
they begin that work Immediately and
stick 10 it. Central Park was once fine
and beautiful. The people Of New y Ork
admired it. were proud of it and en-
loved it. Tt was model for the parks
of other cities. Mr.. Lays statement
that everything looks neglected and
there Is disorder everywhere suggests
how far below that standard it has fal-
len. Further "popularization' won't
help to restore its beauty. Laying out
Fairgrounds would only destroy still
further its character as park. More
Fairgrounds are undoubtedly needed,
but the city should he able To find and
maintain them without diminishing its
present park lands. Central Park once
had a reputation which Mr.. Lay can
perhaps revive.
