To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II has long been question with me
whether women should vote or not ulu
not care to vote myself, but ! WASH sure
It was right to deprive the many Intelligent
women of the vote who wanted 1t, but when
I read that letter in The Tribune OF May
"a signed Anti" | came to myself, as II
were. 7 think 1t Is like that with many OIL
us: We read the points for and against
subject and cannot decide which is right.
when suddenly thought or two expressed
on ono side or the other at once settles all
doubts. That In what that letter did LOT
me, and heartily thank that anti, who-
ever she or he may be. for giving me the
needed light. however unintentional. am
also Indebted to The Tribune for publish
ing It.
I cannot tell Just what part OF that long
letter cleared my brain OF all Its copweps.
I only know that when l had finished IL l
knew at last exactly where ] belonged-i
belonged with those women who want the
vote. and / feel that the only way that l
can lessen my remorse for the past wasted
years is TO work as hard az ] can from
now on for woman suffrage. When that
time comes I shall be among the first to
nut I'm the ballot box that little bit or
paper for which the nobest and most IN
tellIgent women have worked so hard and
so long. ] am truly ashamed for having
hestated so long, but my excuse Is that
must have one OF those inferior brains
which the anti dwelt upon in her letter
Tor was It his letterO.
But. even II my brain is so inferior. there
Is no reason 10 doubt my improving 1t by
hard work. I shall not rest content WIN II
as II is, and say TO myself that because
am a woman therefore II Is all right Tor
me to be inferior and to stay contented
with my inferlority. I am going to believe
I'm myself in the future. for only those VINO
believe in themselves accomplish anything
either for themselves or for the world IN
which they live. II Ia a very bad thought
to carry in ones mind that one Is inferior
and never can be any different, and would
advise that anti" 10 get rid OF SUCH
thoughts They're unwholesome.

FRESHENING SLBWAY AIR.

The encouraging announcement Is
made upon the high authority of THE
Lancet" that the experiment OF purify
ing or freshening the air Of the London
subways by means Of the process known
as "ozonizing' is giving satisfactory re
suits. The process consists in supplying
to the subways constant current of air
which has been washed, screened and
mildly ozonized. The quantity Of ozone
thus supplied is somewhat less than
its presence is benefcially perceived in
thorough freshening of the air and u
complete relief from the depressing eff
feet which the air ~ the subways for
merly had upon the nervous system. II
is explained that the entire ozonizing
machinery is operated by the same cleo
trio current which runs the trains and
that It's work is simply TO condcnse n
very small part Of the oxygen Of the air
into pure ozone.
That some method Of improving the
quality Of the air In the New York sub
ways is urgently needed will not be
disputed. and that need, OF course, in
creases with the extension Of the under
ground system and of the popular pa
tronage Of It, The question is not alto
gether one Of chemical purity. It Is
quite possible for air TO be free from
noxiOus germs and gases, TO contain
plenty Of oxygen and a minimum Of car
bonic acid. and yet TO be fiat, stale and
Improbable" Any trace Of mustiness or
unpleasant Odor renders It unfit for
respiration. If 1t is depressing and ener-
waiting to passengers who spend only Il
few minutes Mt time in il, the effect
must be UNNECESSARILY more distressing
to the train hands and others who spend
all their working time there. 1t is OBJ
served in London not only that the en-
ployes testify to the relief which they
feel but also that they indicate by their
increased energy and buOyancy in the
performance Of their duties the actual
benefit which they receive
Not the least interesting feature of
the London experiment is its demOnstra-
ton Of the futility of attempting to i'm
prove conditions by ordinary methods Of
ventilation. The creating of openings to
the upper air, the use of fans and blow
ers and the pumping Of vast volumes
Of common air into the tubes did no ,er-
ceptible good. Similarly in this city
extensive experiments have been made
in placing ventilators over the subway
station platforms. But although long
stretches of sidewalk on the most fire..
quented streetes have been transformed
into gridirOns, to the inconvenience
and peril OF pedestrians, little relief
has been experienced by the patrons of
the subways, the air in the immediate
vicinity Of those openings being-for rea-
sons not difficult to surmise-far from
satisfactory in quality. If the reports
concerning the London system and its
simplicity, inexpensiveness and efficen-
cy are substantiated, there would Ger.
fainly seem to be strong desirabillty

The understanding which appears to
have been reached between the Cuban
and American authorities concerning the
action of American troops in cuba
should result in efficient cooperation
and pretty complete protection OF Ameri-
can interests in that island. II the
American forces on landing undertake
the protection of American lives and
property the Cuban forces will be re-
lieved of that duty and be set free to
pursue the insurgent bands elsewhere.
In that manner order ought speedily to
be restored: after which the insular gov
eminent might do well to consider care

THE GERMAN FLEET

The German squadron which is now In
American waters has come courteously
to return the recent visit of American
ships to German waters, and in that ca
pacity as well as in others it will be cord
tally welcomed and entertained. 1t is
peculiarly appropriate that there should
be such intercourse between Germany
and America, because Of the close rela-
tionship which has existed between the
two countries ever since the beginning
Of our national life. German officers
rendered invaluable and conspicuOusly
unselfish services in our war for indie
pendence and in the Civil War, and Ger
man immigrants in vast numbers have
contributed enormously to the industrial
growth, the business and professional adj
vancement and the social and intellect
ual culture Of this nation. ReciprOcally
the United States gave hospitable asy-
lum to multitudes Of German political
refugees and watched with profound
sympathy the development Of constitu-
tionalism in Germany and the union of
the various states into the present great
empire.
From technical point of view the
visiting squadron, or at any rate the
flagship Of II, Is Of much interest as an
exhibition Of the last word, thus far. IN
German warship construction. The
Moltke, which has just been put into
commission and which comes hither on
her maiden voyage, is regarded as the
finest ship of her type In the German

ship cruiser, which is thought by not a
few to be the most formidable Of all.
