WANTS A REFORM
IN FEMININE CLOTHES

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Justice" whose remarks appeared in
your issue of today. and those who are
making the same censure are the ones
responsible for all conditions similar to
the case at Richmond.
They refuse to shoulder the responsi-
bility, but they alone are TO blame for
the conditions which make such things
possible. They dress their daughters in
a manner that appeals only to the
worst in any man, whether he be bad
or good They never hold up to girls of
all ages, or even any age, the advan-
tages of associating only with decent
men that are known to be such, but
they do most constantly uphold every
disreputable man who has money, posi-
ton, education, or anything else which
will enable him to take advantage of
the unwary.
If women want 20 improve condi-
tions, especially the conditions of wom-
en-, they will endeavor to uphold the
respect their sons and brothers have
for decent women, and intensity their
dislike for indecent ones. They will
originate and maintain some decent
styles in dress, instead of simply TAX
ing and holding to the styles which
have been the most effective for the
purposes of the women of the so-called
under world" They will lengthen their
skirts until they are much nearer the
ground than the so-Called smart"

HUNTING THE MOSQUITO
WITH EXPLOSIVES.

Breaking a butterfly on a wheel has
usually been regarded as an exaggerat-
ed use of dynamic energy, but that ever
interesting Tarrytown, n. Y, has a
citizen who has adopted measure for
Staying the pestilent mosquito which
seems scarcely less exaggerated. He
simply waits until the psycho-that is,
until the proper moment has arrived,
and blows the aggregated coyey of mos
quitoes into Kingdom Come.
There is presumptive evidence that
Tarrytown is not more free from mos
quitoes than any other community
within flying distance of the Jersey
bogs, and George Fox thought long and
deep while he was lying awake at night
chasing the pestilence that buzzes in
darkness. On a recent outing he bought
for the children a number of those
little balloons so dear to the heart of
childhood incidentally it seems almost
incredible that a tender father could
devise so diabolical a scheme against
anything as he finally cooked up
against the mosquito. Directed by some

.PUPPET PEERS"---THE NEW
BRITISH JOKE.

"Puppet peers" is what the Unionists
threaten to call the men whom Prime
Minister Asquith may induce the King
to raise to the peerage in order to carry
the reform program through parliament
A nation which lately paid so feeling a
tribute to the memory of w. S. Gil
bert can afford at this critical juncture
to take a look over the present aggre-
CATION of peers and then have hearty
laugh. ''Puppet peers" is as amusing
as the cry of american dollars" hurled
at Asquith and Redmond by men who
boast of the support of such dollar
endowed noblemen as the Duke of
Marlborough and the Duke of Man
chester.
The nearer the British standpatters
come to the inevitable curtailment of
their power, and the equally inevitable
establishment of home rule for Ire
land, the shorter becomes their temper
and the shallower their wit.
Nor can their feelings be comforted
by the fact that they have already
been soundly beaten twice at the polls
on this very issue of progressive re-
form.

LET ARIZONA

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
While reciprocity and the tariff have
occupied the attention OF a great manY

that interests people here from the
West. The statehood issue tor New
Mexico and Arizona is TO be voted on
in the Senate next Monday. It appears
that the principal objection TO immedi-
ate statehood comes from Democrats.

Democrats to balk on the question. No

Mexico will come in as d State in June.

will send two Republican Senators to
Washington, and will also participate
in the. Presidential election. If the Mel
son resolution Is defeated next Monday,
II means that Arizona will he kept out
for a long time-perhaps FOR TWO or
three years. Arizona, being naturaHy
Democratic, would send TWO Democratic
Senators. II immediate statehood IS de-
MED her, she will be without represen-
tation in the Senate, while New Mexico
will have two Republicans at the De-
cember session, 1912. 1t would look ike
good politics for the Democrats to maze
small concession TO the President
that of resubmitting the recall feature
of the Arizona constitution-aud let Ari-
Zona come into the Union. 1t would
seem, too, that the insurgents would
welcome two Democratic Senators, from
Arizona to offset the two standpatters
who are most likely to come from New
Mexico. Business and social con-
ditions call for statehood in the two
Territories. II the President is willing
to let the people out there decide their
political issues at a future election, 1t

whim which he would have difficulty
in explaining, he filled one of the toy
balloons with citronella, blew it up, and
placed it on the pillow.
Then he blew out the light and
waited.
1t was not for long that he had to
wait, for in a short timeS attracted by
the citronella, the mosquitoes began to
gather like crows in a. corn field. With
all the zeal of their race they began
boring into the inflated balloon, mar
Yelling in the meantime, no doubt at
the smoothness of the victims coun-
tenance. Suddenly, like the cataclysm
on board the Casabianca burning deck,
there was an explosion which fairly
shook the room, and when the wreck
age was cleared away it was discovered
that the shock had killed every mos
quito in the neighborhood.
More modest himself, Mr.. Fox ex-
plains that those which escaped the
first impact probably died from ex-
haustion in their efforts to get away.
At all events the story-which is re-
garded as quite as accurate as the av-
erage of those emanating from Tarry-
town-goes on to relate that Mr.. Fox
is preparing to place his invention OIL
the market. and feels confident that he
has at last solved the veked question
of eliminating the mosquito from our
summer lives. The cannonading would
get on the nerves of some people, of
course, but in desperate extremities
perhaps the effort would be worth
while.

POLITICAL PUNER-
AL FOR MR.. BRYAN.

1t is now some fifteen years since
publicists and press of certain per-
suasion began holding political funerals
for William Jennings Bryan on fire.
quent occasions. Meanwhile Mr.. Bryan
has flourished as the green bay tree and
been able to command the nomination
of great political party for President
whenever he wanted it. General eX
pectation is that 1912 will be his fallow
season, but that his word will be potent
enough to prevent the nomination of
any man he will not approve.
The Underwood Bryan controversy
has afforded another opportunity for
those platitudinous panegyrists of the
Uriah Heap school to unburden them
selves of another set of funeral ora
tions. Let us urge ardent mourners not
unduly to hasten in buying tickets to
the Bryan obsequies. Mr.. Bryan is
represented as "repudiated by the
Democratic House." and rejected by
his party's leadership" Bosh: Mr..
Bryan made a mistake, which is one of
his specialties He made a huge one
in lS96-and got more votes then, and
twice afterward, than any candidate
for President had ever polled before
1896.
The strength of Mr.. Bryan does not
depend on the attitude of the Demo
cratic representation in Congress. 1t
never did, and never will. 1t is with
the plain people, not the party mana
gers 1t is not based on any assump-
tion of Mr.. Bryan's infallibility, but on
a firm conviction of his honesty.
Mr.. Bryan made a mistake that was
made by plenty of other people. He
observed Mr.. Underwood's political
geography, and he noted the delay
about bringing forward steel
schedule. Ergo, he assumed a casual
relation that did not exist Mr.. I'm
derwood's explanation, backed by the
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, is complete and satisfying. 1t
is merely regrettable that this expla-
nation was not given to the public
sooner.
But as to any serious, permanent i'm
pairment of Mr.. Bryan's hold on public
confidence as a result of his fulmi-
nations on the steel schedule, it is non
sense. Mr.. Bryan does not play the
sort of game for points that smaller
politicians play. He doesn't maneuver
to "get something on" his antagonist
and credit himself with a number of
points proportioned to the bigness of
the something or the skill of the
maneuver. He plays for the masses
of his party, and his hold on them is
what enables him to influence those
leaders who are always so ready to
claim the platform with funeral
elegiacs. Mr.. Bryan has proved time
and again that he is stronger with any
other Democratic organization in the
nation than with the caucus of Demo
cratic Representatives in Congress. He
