the c. n. e H. League schedule
This game, like the first, was an OK

ten rounds to decide the winner. Up

There is question of the real seamans de

last gasp With the skipper this is partly Il matter
of duty to be sure. But in every plain seaman
heart there is stout preference for the old ship

Let Youth Be Served.

Our English friends, Just rather necdessIy
alarmed over the prOweSs Of their nation in sports,
have reached rather hasty conclusion. The
chief trouble with English sports is old age. Let
the boys have chance and all will be well Or.
as one Engishman puts this view in a letter to a
London weekly:
stodgness. midde-aged cult of the comfortable, and
consequent lack of youthful enthusiasm, which is
stihed by the general easy-gong averseness to the
really strenuous-so painfully in contrast to the
American desire to excel to get to arrive to get
there.
We seem nowadays so lstless in contrast too with
the French, whose insolently logical courage, in
ventive imagination and. above all dash will make
them in the near future most dangerous rivals in
games long neglected through supcr-civilization
Carpenter. Ouimet & Co. but forecast of the
future of modern French youth in sports whose
general cult Of fresh air and exercise is in contrast
to our pallid pipe-smoking nuts
What we need is the more rapid evolution Of our
boys to youthdom and up-to-date sef-sufficcncy
more of the alertness of youth in councils. too.
Let youth be served-and serve.
Unfortunately however, mere fewness of years
seems not to be the real point at all. Veterans,
"old men, in their sport rubbed elbows with brill
long ago and middle age, if anything, had the edge
on youth The record Of every other sport is about
the same.
The real point seems to he not much youth
as youthful spirit When veteran can keep the
resolve and brilliancy of his youth and sustain
them by a wisdom born of long experience he is
the hardest of opponents to best We say this with
every due obeisance to Messrs Mclaughlin Ouimet
and Bush and only to make it clear that YOUTH
need not end with the teens. but is rather more
potent than ever when ii lasts clear through the
thirtes.

their churches into debating clubs. much

that no party has raison d'etre unless
IL can offer something more tangible than
mere personality as an apology for It's
existence. Abuse of opponents and vague
phrases, such as FOR righteousness etc.
which are merely empty platitudes. are
not sufficiently specific, have no partic-
ular force or value and appeal only TO
the hysterica and superficial.
In all our elections the issues seem
TO be created for the occasion. as they
rarely present themselves. the facility
with which new and startling theories or

INCONSISTENCY OF EMMELINE
Mrs. Pankhurst the Most Audacious
Lawbreaker Of the Century.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: That the basis Of any government
is force: that its stability rests upon its
physical ability to enforce its laws; that
immunity from service in executing the
law would make most women irresponsi-
BILE voters-such are statements which al
WAYS bring forth vigorous denials from
suffragists.
Yet, they are all true statements. ana,
by actions which speak louder than words,
Mrs. Pankhurst and her gentle cohorts
have attested their truth again and again
When cool reason turned down her thumb
against woman suffrage in England, Mrs.
Pankhurst resorted To force. She knows
as well as any of us, and better than
some, that governments do rest on force
and she realizes that. II she could COM
mand enough force. she could overthrow

Another Version of Public Be Damned

A peculiarly contemplate method Of defeating
the public will is being practised in New Jersey,
not by some soulless corporation nor by political
overload, but by minor elective officers who are
supposed to be very close to the people, TO w.t. the
county boards of freeholders.

prescribed by law was presented to the Union
County board, asking that at the coming election
IA referendum on the question of adopting the
merit system in the civil service be submitted to the
people Under the law it the duty of the board
10 place the referendum upon the official ballot
The board however. deliberately postponed action
upon it until meeting to be held on the very last
day on which such action could be taken, and then
saw to it that no quorum present and there
fore no meeting could be held Then yesterday,
when ii was known to be week too late, the board
passed the beated resolution and asked the County
Clerk to put the question on the ballots knowing
of course that according to a decision of Supreme
Court justice that could not be done. 1t will thus
apparently be impossible TO have the matter voted
upon this year.

MRS. PANKHURsT's PROFITS
Should America Help to Support Her
Campaign of Militancy?
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is an aspect OF the question
OF the admission Of Mrs. Pankhurst which
/ have not seen referred to. She comes
avowedly to raise money To take TO Eng
land To carry on her campaign OF arson
and destruction. Great Britain is Il
friendly nation. Ought we to permit our
people to contribute money which we
know will he used to injure her? Sup
pose Mrs. Pankhurst were our criminal
and had escaped to Canada, and the au-
thorities there permitted her to raise
funds to be sent here to burn our homes.

were TO kill Mr.. Asquith for the cause
II would be a difference in degree but
not in kind. Are we ready to go that far?

MR.. BIRD AND FUSION.
DR. of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The mix-up in which Francis w.
Bird. county chairman of the Progressive
party, finds himself with Mr. Prendergast
is only another example OF the fact that
in attempting to make fusion frame-up
out of hostile elements Mr.. Bird has un-
dertaken a great deal more than he can
carry out. He already has antagonized a
large number OF the members of his own
party by weakly admitting that he could
not find in the $4,000 Progressive voters
OF the city a man whom he cared to run
at the head of the municipal ticket and
