NO ONE PUNISHED.

TT TOOK the jury in New York city only one
4 hour and forty-hve minutes to acquit the
proprietors of the Triangle Waist factory of the
charge of mansaughter in connection with the
death Of many empoyes-l45-boys and
girls and men and women, who perished in the
trlghtful FIRE that destroyed the place some time
ago. As consequence of the verdict no one will
be punished for the loss Of life
After the verdict was rendered, the Jurors by
direction of the court we're smugged from the
court house and the acquitted defendants we're
escorted from the building by a detail of police
men surrounded by frantic mob Of relatives Of
the victims of the disaster, which was one Of the
worst that has occurred in New York for many
years
The public indignation over the matter has
subsided; that of the relatives Of the victims will
never subside. The public will again become in
dienant when another calamity of the kind occurs,
and the same story will probably be repeated
1t seems that lessons of this kind have very
sitte prastical eject upon municipal officials

THE HELPING HAND.

A T A luncheon of the Merchants Mutual AS
4 \ sociation held the other evening the speeches
we're all Of an optimistic nature. Mr.. J. H. Cor
don, in referring to the prospects for the future,
spoke of the various large Improvements that are
under way and declared that it was the duty of
all financial institutions Of the city TO be liberal
and to make up their minds to help in the for
ward movement.
OF course, if the city is to make progress, such
rs the merchants would like, the financial nsti-
tutions must do their share The success or fail
ure of any plan looking TO the bringing Of new
industries here will depend, in large measure on
The attitude Of our banking institutions.
The guaranteed fund plan or any similar meth
cd as practiced with success in some other cities
IF it should be adopted here, depends upon the
reasonable cooperation Of our banks and other
financial concerns.
The merchants, we think, are always ready TO
do their share, and If definite plan for the fur
ther development of industrial Wilmington should
be adopted by the Board Of Trade the merchants
and the banks will have to lend helping hand

EDITORIAL OPINION
MARYLAND LYNCHING.
Worcester Gazette.

worcester Gazette.
Lynchings are not so infrequent In
this country that any one event Of the
kind need attract extraordinary atten-
ton. The affair at Fairfield. Md,
when one King Davis, held in Jail for
the shooting Of Friedrich A. Schwab,
was taken from Jail and riddled with
bullets, Is emphasized by the time
chosen for the bloody work It would
appear that the peace on earth, good
will to men" sentiment does not re-
strain With much force In Maryland
The protection given the man in
custody for the shooting, or really the
lack Of protection by the police auth
critics, was virtually an invitation TO
those beset by the mob spirit to do
their worst. The jail where Davis
was confined, or rather the lookup,
was left unguarded during the night.
The prisoner was removed, shot to
death, and the first the police authori-
ties knew of the crime was when noti-
fed by passerby, who had discovered
the body.
The story of this lynching is virtu-
ally that of a great majority Of the
others which disgrace the country.
II is the inability or the unwillingness
of the police to protect those in their
custody from attacks of the lawless.
So it happens that we are continuously
presented with the spectacle of sue
cessful mob outbreaks, and the inn
preston is given broadcast that the
law is a puny thing in this country;
that it is an institution which cannot
be depended upon to do its work; that
people have no faith in it. The bulk of
this discredit thrown upon the laws
and courts is due to the Indifferent and
weak police protection accorded to
those charged with crime.

There are hundreds of death traps in New York
city which must be known TO the officials. In
every large city places in which a loss of life
would surely follow a fire Often these traps are
known to officials, but nothing is done to provide
for the safety of the inmates
Disasters like that of the Triangle Waist fac
tory are really due to the negligence of inspec-
tors who if they would follow the theory of an
ounce of prevention and carefully examine places
where men and women work and compel proprie
tors TO guard against the perils Of fire, would
make almost impossible the useless loss of life
that too often occurs.

HOW PITTSBURGH WAS LIBELED.

John r. Scott. the well-knowu

their fear of IT,
"A Pittsburgh man once submitted

magazine, and got a wire from the
editor;

so the Pittsburgh man hurried
over 10 New York and asked the edi-
tor whom he had labeled.
You have libeled your native city,

'Liheled dear old Pittsburgh! How

CHINA IS FREE

Pehing, Nov. 2-Eyery yestige Of
real control of the government of the
Dragon Empire has passed from the
hands of The Manchus. The great bat
tie for the government of China BY
the Chinese under true constitutional
ism has been won.
The eliminating victory in the politi-
cal revolution was scored when Prince
Chun. the prince regent. accepted the
resignation of the Manchu dominated
ministry and appointed Yuan Shin Kai
as premier, with full power to foru,
China's first constitutional cabinet.

up to the present have been vice presi-

With the Manchu power emasculafed
expectation is general that the end of
the rebellion is a matter of a few
DAYS.
The throne has assured the national
assembly ofXs willingness TO meet all

assurance was given at a secret meet

members of the cabinet. who will hold
their posts until Yuan.Shih Kai anne
their successors.
The vital necessity of immediate
peace was impressed upon the assem-
bly, by the wal WI pu's disclosure that
japan and Russia have taken advan-
tage of The crisis to press China diplo-
maticaily.
Japan insists upon a one-third reduc-
ton of customs duties on commerce
entering Manchuria by the Antung-
Mukden railway, basing her demand
on favored nation rights.
Russia has served an ultimatum on
China stating that she must accept
the Russian Interpretation of the dis
putcd Manchuria border. This would
lose to China Manchuli, where her
most Important customs station ON the
Siberian border is located.
These disclosures of outside pressure
greatly alarmed the assembiymen. and
Inder the menace of foreign aggres-

The national assembly forced Yuan's
appointment. On learning that the
palace plan was to name some tempo

prince regent that it would stand no
temporizing and declared that it would
formally elect Yuan premier and place
the issue before the country. Before

CLAIMS NOMEh
CAN VOTE HERE
Woman Lawyer Starts Test
Case in New Jersey.
fFrom ne VIEWS correspondont.J

Trenton, Nov. "A remarkable
effort to vitalize equal suffrage in
New Jersey and rehabilitate women
with the right of ballot, a preroga-
tive which they enjoyed in the col
onial days of the state, has just
been initiated by Miss Mary Phil
brook, of Newark, who, besides be-
ing an ardent suffragette is distin-
guished as the first woman ever IL
censed to practice law In New Jer-
sey.
After making an exhaustive study
of the subject, Miss Philbrook con
tends that women have the right to
vote under the original state con-
stitution of 1776. She insists that
the constitution of 1874, which Is
now in operation, is unconstitution-
al so far as lit provides for the linz
itation of the right to vote to male
citizens.
AS the foundation for carrying
her contention into the New Jersey
courts, Miss Philbrook prevailed
upon Miss Harriet b. Carpenter, a
teacher in the Newark Normal and
Training School and a large prop
erty owner in Passaic township, to
present herself before the election
board of that municipality last
Tuesday, and demand to be regis
tered as a voter of the district.
When the election board declined to
enter Miss Carpenters name upon
the poll list of the township, Miss
Philbrook, who was present, order
ed the board to make a minute of
its refusal Upon the register. This
was done.
The next move to be made by
Miss Philbrook will be an applica-
tion to Justice Parker, of the SUI
prenle court for a writ of man
damus to compel the election board
to register Miss Carpenter. In this
way she will raise the constitutions
al claims for the right of ONE In
New Jersey to vote.
The colonial constitution of New
Jersey was adopted July 2, 1915,
and two years later the title to the
State of New Jersey was substitut-
ed for Colony of New Jersey. I'm
der the constitution n of the
rights and privileges was equal suf-

frage, under which women voted
with considerable regularity. The
early trainers of the old constitu-
ton stated it as their purpose that
in the event of Independence from
Great Britain the provisions of this
constitution should remain firm
and immovabIe."
The franchise clause read as fol-
lows: THAT all inhabitants of this
colony, of fun age, who are worth
fifty pounds proclamation money,
clear estate in the same, and have
resided within the county in which
they claim a vote for IL months im-
mediately preceding the election,
shall be entitled to vote for repre-
sentatives in council and assembly,
and for all other public offices that
shall be elected by the people of
the county at large"
June /, 1920, a supplement to the
1897 act was passed, by which it
was declared that from and after
the passing of this act NO person
shall vote In any state or county
election for officers in the govern
ment of the United States or of this
State unless such person be a free
white male citizens of this state of
the age of twenty-one years"
The present constitution, adopt
ed in 1914, In substance is the same
as the act of 1920 in the franchise
qualifications. except that the word
white is dropped from the former
phrase white male citizens"
Miss Philbrook cites a decision Of
Chief Justice Fitzpatrick in 1904 in
which he held that 'the legislature
could not alter the constitution" 1t
is upon this point that Miss Phil
brook will sue out a writ of man
damus demanding the right of
women to exercise the franchise
which had originally been given
her, alleging the provisions in the
constitution of 1875 are still oper-
alive.
IF the acts of the legislature of
1907, 1920, 1899 and any other UP
to that time denied the right of
ONE to vote, what must be said of
the act of the legislature of 1914
providing for q constitutional con-
vention in which it was denied the
right of women to vote either for
delegates or the ratification or re-
lection of the constitution" Miss
Philhrook asked. She adds:
1.-THE present constitution. after
~enumerating the rights and privil-
eyes of the people sets forth that
This enumeration of the right and
privileges shall not be construed to
impair or deny other retained by the
people,, What were some of the
rights retained by the people? Was
not the right OF women to vote one
of them? Was the right up to that
time ever lawfully taken away from
them?
