WILL HE DO IT?
Maud Malone Says Mr.. Wilson Should
Disown Man Who Arrested Her.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: VIII you allow me to present few
facts in regard to the trial OF the People
agt. Maud Malone, to be held on Tuesday,
November u, at 10 a. m, in the Court Of
Clinton street, Brooklyn. The charge Is
"Wilfully disturbing a public meeting"
which is a mlsdemeanor. punishable by
one year in prison or $500 fine.
On October 10 ! went to the Academy Of
Music meeting. Mr.. Wilson Was speaking.
/ stood up in my place and asked, What
about woman suffrage?" In Mr.. Wilson's
answer lies much danger to our American
theory Of government. He said: Woman
suffrage IS not a question that is dealt
with by the national government at al"
Yet suffragettes have been working for
many years for an amendment TO the
United States Constitution. the regular
machinery to secure which is as follows:
The President can recommend TO Congress
the submission OF suffrage amendment
to the states Mr. Wilson's ignorance-I
admit his honesty-is deplorable. Before
he takes the Presidents chair I suggest
tildL no ICdu THO DIONiSlOil IA N'lD S''NNN
States Constitution as 70 Its amendment.
Asked to answer as an American, Mr..
Wilson declined to answer" Here we
have a man calling himself a democratic
American denying the fundamental truth
OF that democracy-tho right Of the indi-
vidual TO govern herself.
As to what followed-the dragging out,
arresting and trial by the same mani do
not hold Judge Kempner responsible He
was only n scapegoat II is up to Mr..
Wilson. Although admitting my right to
ask a question in political meeting, Mr..
Wilson has never publicly disapproyed
OF the magistrates action In having me
arrested and locked up for having done
so. Instead, It serves as Joke for the
Governor, some OF his friends having put
the incident" on the phonograph for his
amusement.
Until Mr.. Wilson does publicly disown
Judge Kempner the country will hold him
accountable. MAUD MADOND'

SAFETY IN THE SCHOOLS.

SO many persons have lost their lives
because Of doors opening inward that
il would not be supposed that any re-
sponsible school official would be found
defending them. Yet Mr. Snyder, the
architect Of the Board Of Education,
says that the inward opening doors of
classrooms which Fire Commissioner
Johnson finds fault with were chosen
deliberately. He says that in the
Cleveland fire many pupils lost their
lives by rushing out into the halls and
tanning them. "In our schools" he
proceeds, "the doors would not open
until the teacher gave the signal and
"she would not give the signal until
"she had her charges quiet and under
''c0ntrol."
1t is not easy TO see what effect the
direction In which the classroom doors
open would have upon teachers abil-
fly to obtain and keep control OF her
class in case Of fire. If the teacher
retained her presence Of mind and did

MR.. BRYCE.

Mr. Bryce came to this country with
unique credentials His predecessors
had been men of experience and dis
tinction in the diplomatic service, gen
orally known to Americans chiefly
through hearsay concerning their ser
vices in other fields in which this
country had no direct interest. He
came without a days ambassadorial
experience, though with many years
experience as an authoritative legisla-
tor and administrator; but his name
and works were widely familiar to the
American people. That familiarity,
moreover, prediSposed them most IA
vorably toward him. They recognized
in the author Of THE American Com
mOnwealth" a man who had an init
mate knowledge Of their institutions
and civic practices, and had been able
to write better book about them than
any Of their own number; man, too,
who was sympathetically disposed
toward this country and whose book
was entirely friendly and generally
optimistic In tone.
Such credentials were not easy TO
live up to. or would not have been II
Mr.. Bryce had been less worthy OF
them. But he found it necessary only
to be himself in order to confirm the
cordial regard in which he had long
been held His diplomatic duties, muA-
hilarious and often onerOus, have been
so discharged as to strengthen the
bonds of friendship between the two
countries while promoting the inter
eSts Of both. At the same time he has
entered most agreeably into our social
and intellectual life.
There will be sincere regret at his
departure, but we like to think that he
leaves us not to go to some other capt.
tai or to resume political activities at
home. but to devote himself to fruit
full and engaging literary labors. AS a
man Of letters Mr.. Bryce is conspicu-
ously a citizen Of the world. His four
best known works deal with four or
the continents, and it is understood
that he is about to issue fifth which
will cover another Of the grand diyi-
sions Of the globe. We may hope that
the vast occurrences Of our time in
Asia will move him to devote a future
volume to that continent and thus
make the entire earth the field of his
observations

WOMAN AND INTRIGUE
A Mere Man Asserts That Close Re-
lation Exists Between the Two.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. Every woman Is fitted by nature 10

tho home. while man Is fitted with bodily
and mental strength 20 enable him to be
successful in public life, I'm industry, in
business. In science, In art, and by his
genius TO benefit mankind. II woman
cannot successfully compete with man In
those fields OF endeavor, II Is nature s
fault. who gave her wOmanly and not
manly qualities and power. Man knows
no cannot substitute for woman In her
sphere, but the dear sufrraglsts Imagine
they can at themselves 10 excel mere
man. Woman out OF her female sphere
never has contributed anything TO the
civilization Of mankind, but wherever
there were strife. intrigue and difficulties
there always was and Is woman at the
bottom. The worst cruelties in reVoiu-
tons and wars have been committed by
woman, because fanatclsm Is one TRAIT
OF the female character. For the sake or
some idea they are willing TO make great
sacrifices, no matter whether 1t VIII do
them any good or not In their fanat-
cism the English militant sultragists be-
come female rowdies and criminals who
are willing to go to prison and to starve
themselves. even II by doing so they hurt
their cause more than they help II. The
women are slaves OF fashion and are Will
ing 10 wear things which endanger their
health, and even their lives, as the mar
row skirt has caused many fatal acct
dents
Mime. Sembrich tells how near she
was TO being run over in London by
an omnibus. because in trying to save
her dog she tripped and fell. But you
cannot argue with woman, and all the
laws and ordinances against the danger
Gus hatpins have proved futile. What
grand task would It be for tho leading
suffraglsts 10 try to reform their sex
toward common sense, but the dear ladies'
prefer the more promising and interesting
task OF reforming mere man. And after
they first have fitted themselves for that
task. where the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union is so very successful,
whatever will become OF poor man? or
course, after they have the ballot II
would be intolerable TO leave the well
paying political positions IN the hands OF
mere man.
In Kansas before they got the vote
there were already several hundred po-
Iitical positions filed by women, mostly
spinsters and widows. OF course, with
every such position filled by a woman
a man loses the chance TO found
and support family. But no matter
whether there are less families and less
children, but more divorces on account OF
differences between man and wife on po-
litical questions, I'VE must fit ourselves
for the great responsibilities and priyi-
leges," leaving the Obligations connected
with such privileges, like judicial and
military services and, IL need be, lighting
for tho home, to the mere men.

THEIR OWN PETARD.

Much comment, by no means impertl-
nent, has been made this year upon
the number Of persons who were dis
franchised in the State Of New Jersey
by their failure to comply with the
election law. Or perhaps we should
say it has been made upon their char
acter rather than their number, for
their identity has been noteworthy.
One victim was DR.. Hamilton w.
Mabie, who forfeited the right to vote
by quite overlooking the need Of regis
tration-a need which he had eloquent
" urged upon others. Two other ex-
amples were members Of the Legislat-
ure who had taken part in enacting the
election law, and who yet were so ig-
norant or careless Of its provisions as
to let themselves be disfranchised. The
chagrin Of such persons Is deseryedly
great, but 1t does not appear that they
have any just title to anger or resent
ment against the law, though some OF
them affect it.
For certainly they Of oil men should
know and should comply with the law.
It is easy for them TO inveigh against
the evils Of an ignorant electorate and
the iniquity Of having illiterate voters
directed by their leaders how TO vote.
But the fact is that the neglect Of legal
requirements, the failure TO vote or TO
qualify for voting and the mismarking
Of ballots so as TO annul them are
chargeable against these highly intelli-
gent gentlemen more than against
those whom they are inclined to re-
gard patronizlngly and condescending-
ly. The ordinary IMAM in the street"
who does not profess familiarity with
the intricacies Of elaborate election
laws and who may not be quite sure
whether "ciyics" is a game or dis
ease, frankly admits his ignorance and
seeks instruction and guidance frem
those who are able to give it. 1t Is
left for those who are supposedly men
Of eight and leading" to devise elab-
crate and advanced" methods Of exer-
cislng the franchise for others to fol-
low, and then themselves to fail in
them-hoist with their own petard.
This is not, of course, an indictment
OF educated citizens as a whole, for
those who thus err and fail are excep-
lions to the rule. Certainly It is not
condemnation Of those provisions OF
the election law which are essential
for the safeguarding Of the ballot box
and for assuring free and fair express

The alternative which is suggested,
that she should have an outlet ION the
Rgean somewhere west Of Salonica,"
does not commend itself to reason. the
region in question is now claimed, with
good cause, by Greece, whose armies
have conquered it and by whose people
it is chiefly inhabited. Moreover, the
most ingenious map maker would be
driven to despair to show how Seryia
could have a strip of territory running
down to that coast without blocking
the road TO Salonica which has long
been pre-empted by Austria, just as
much as it would be blocked by a Ser
Wan advance to the Adriatic.
Germany and Italy ought surely, as
the "Novoe Vremya" suggests, to SYM
pathize with Servia's struggle for free
dom, in view Of their own records.
Italy particularly has felt the weight
of Austrian oppression and has fought
a great war to free herself from II.

supposed still to regard certain part
Of ia-Hungary's Adrlatic frontage
as italia Irredenta.' 1t would be a
sorry spectacle for her to seek consOla-
ton by aiding TO transform Northern
Albania into "Servia Irredenta,' and
to suggest that in turn Servia should
seek consolation by Selling Mount
Olympus from her Greek ally and max
ing that corner Of Macedonia "Grecia
Irredenta." Such map making would
be laying up wrath against a day OF
wrath. The only just and satisfactory
partitioning of the remnant Of Turkey
in Europe must be one which will sat
isfy the legitimate demands Of the gal
liant states which have in month done
what the great powers have been I'M
able to do in generation, and fore
most among those demands Is that or
Servia for an independent outlet to the
sea by the remuneration Of part of
her ancient domain which was taken
from her by the Turks and which she
has now taken back from the Turks.

Justice Cohalan lectured twenty-five
lawyers for not having their cases
ready and demanding postponements,
declaring that this was largely respon-
sible for the so-called laws delay. Yet
undoubtedly some Of those lawyers
would have been ready TO proceed II
they had felt absolutely certain that
the court would compel them to go on
with their cases. The fault is not all
on either side.
