Compensation Legislation.

What ends but those Of politics will be served
by rushing through workmen's compensation law
in the coming special session? In less than a
month a constitutional amendment that the state
has spent couple of years in passing for the eX-
press purpose of enabling the Legislature to enact
an adequate compensation law will 20 into effect,
and yet with its hands tied by constitutional limita-
lions, the Legislature is going to put through a
makeShift compensation law.
If the law is passed Governor Glynn per-
haps figures that the Democratic party will have all
the credit And if such law as he proposes is
passed the labor unions will have practical
monopoly of the advantage Of automatic cOmpensa-
ton for injuries which the voters wish to open
TO all classes Of employees equally If the proposed
inadequate law is passed it will serve as an excuse
for not passing an adequate law, whose benefits
will be open TO all.
In last winters legislative session the labor
unions and the casualty companies quarrelled about
compensation bill, and none became a law. The
bill now proposed seems agreeable to both The
agreement after last years dispute appears sus-
pcious Are all united TO limit much possible
the operations Of a compensation statute?

Mr.. PrendergaSt Resumes RepubIicanism.

Controller Prendergasts declaration that it is high
time for less talk of Armageddon and more thought
Of the future Of our United States undoubtedly
expresses the opinion Of hundreds of disusioned
PrOgressives. Some have preceded him in returning
to the Republican party. More are hesitating be
cause the Republican party, in this state, at least,
looks no attractive now than when they left it,
There is question-save that raised by political
manpulators or oficeholders and officcseekers-
about the desrability of forming Of Republicans
and ProGressives a compact, forcefuI fighting body
against Democracy. The peril Of division has been
hammered home by Suzer-Tammany adminstra-
ton Of state affairs But before such an anal CANA
ton can be made the Republican organization will
have to be rebuilt The party will have TO clean
house and put in new management and new set
of furniture in the way of modern policies and
principles. Mr.. Prendergast can do good service
toward bringing that about. Until it is brought
about the Republican party must suffer and the
voters are likely TO be no better of.

Reoreanize F!

The ruling of the Republican National Commit

plee reorganization of the Republican party nation
ally. The opinion of Chairman Warren supports the
view which The Tribune has taken. The national
committee itself has no power TO make the needed
changes in the basis Of representation in the ma
tional convention. But the national committee has
power TO call special convention for TINS purpose
And it has power to provide for the election of dele
gates To such convention in accordance with STATE
laws when those laws are in conflict with the Re
publican party custom.
Let the special convention do its work. I'll

SUFFRAGE AND PROTOZOA
A Believer in Votes for Women Cites
Some Late Returns.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Gardiner. in The Tribune of the
I'd inst. most emphatically informs us as
follows: What was decided among the
prehistoric protocol cannot be annulled

Well. this may be true of Parliament;
it seems so. The "protoZoan." being the
lowest order of the animal kingdom, hav
ing generally no mouth. seems 10 have set
the standards for this venerable body
which even the dynamite bombs of the mill
itants can't change. Thank Heaven, In this
country we can do. and have done. things
which the "protozoan' did not think of!
He says which is why women cannot
do the work of men, The "protoZoan'
seems To have determined just what is
the work of men, He does not seem
concerned about women working in the
fields etc, as II is said they do in Eng
land. Probably by his theory all man
ual labor belongs TO women. How about
the men doing womans work such as
spinning. weaving, sewing, cooking, wash
ing. waiting on the table, etc?
Women are equal to men, screams
the voice in the street" he says We have
never heard it. but we do read the scream
ing statement by Mr. Gardiner that
Every sane human being knows that it
is not So" Well, | think no sane person
would try to prove one or the other. But
what has that to do with voting? The
business man may be inferior" I'm brute
force to the laborer. Mr.. Gardiner may
be inferior In brute force TO Jack John
son. but that does not disfranchise the
business man nor Mr.. Gardiner. Mr.. Gar
diner may be inferior 10 some other man
or woman mentally. That does not dis
franchise him. The people OF the torrid
and frlgid zones are inferior to those Of
the temperate zones, but that does not
disfranchise them. Now, will some OF those
wise ones please explain what inferiorty
OF one division OF people has to do with a
right to citizenship?
The most ridiculous thing OF all is in
effect that voting will prevent women
from bearing and rearing children. This
theory. constantly being given out serious

funny, but they really pretend to imagine

The Hard, Sad Business of the Merry

Christmas has been growing more and more a
matter of hard work and worry for long while.
And now along comes Commissioner Waldo and
tries to give il finishing kick down the hill. His
list of "Donts' for the Christmas shopper is enough
to scare all thought of Christmas from any ordina-

ALL LAND TITLES CHALLENGED
A Disciple of Henry George Prescribes
Panacea.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Kindly publish a reply to Per
pleXed's" communication of November g.
asking II titles to land have any moral
foundation and quoting Blackstone
definition of property i'm land. Now,
Blackstone framed his definition as a
jurist, his opinion is merely the crystal
lization of ancient conceptions OF justice
and morality, and therefore should not

side Of the questions as to Who owns
the land?" or who owns the air." is
under consideration.
Permit me 10 inform your correspon-
dent that there is not a single title 10
land anywhere on the face of the earth
that will stand a rigid test of Justice and
morality. There is not n single title 10
land anywhere in Europe, in Asia. IN
Africa, I'm Australia or in America that
has not been stained with the life's blood
OF thousands OF human beings. Private
property in land is in direct opposition TO
the supreme law OF justice, and therefore
can not and should not be permitted to
remain. Land was not created by any
human being and cannot rightfully bs
private property. The security in posses
sion that is required 10 insure the prog
ress OF civilization may be had on pay
ment 10 the community of the full annual
value OF land. When this is done land
will no longer be monopolized by per
cent Of the population TO the detrIment
OF the other 81 per cent. Land will then
be free 10 all who wish to use Il upon
the same and equal terms. and they Will
be protected in their use and occupancy
so long as they pay into the public
treasury the full annual rental value or
the land which they hold But IN no
event should their possession extend as
far down as Hell or as far up as Heaven

Two men stand out in the discussion of candidates
for the Speakership particularly available and de-
sirable They are Mr. Horton, of Erie County, ana
Mr.. Sullivan of Chautauqua County. Either would

of the Republican party to have the voters conn

policies and he capable of taking the lead in
strong. modern legislative programme. They be
long to the type of Republican which must he
chosen
They are young men, with present day ideas OF
government and politics and the duties OF the state
and of political parties Mr. Sullivan is the senior
in legislative service. He was one of the Hughes
men in the days when that meant practically re-
bellion against the Republican machine. He is able
and honest. His political associations in his district
are of the present day progressive type. He Is the
best sort of a party man'-lOyal TO the party but
not to a machine Mr.. Horton has not seen so much
legislative service but his record has been excellent
His record and his views won for him, Republican,
the Progressive party's Endorsement in the cam
paign. He has political hobbies on him.
1t is for the members of the next Assembly TO
elect their Speaker. But it will be entirely in order
for the Republican conference to take up this sub
ject along with other matters of party policy. The
way in which il attacks this question, which Is
sharp and specific. will be regarded by the public
as a test of the spirit of Repubcansm to-day. If
the conference indorse the candidacy of either Of
these young Republicans or any one of similar
availability it will merit approval. If 1t decline TO
favor candidate, but express itself as to stand
ards to which candidates worthy Of consideration
must measure up, it must set standards not lower
than those furnished by the views and records Of
Messrs Sullivan and Horton.

Time for Action on the Building Code.

1t would be rather pity If the proposed new
building code failed of enactment through the well
known dilatory tactics Of the aldermen or through
indifference on the part of the public. As seems to
be indicated. For more than year this latest en-
deavor to revise and improve the building regula-
tions has been in course of construction. The com
mittee having it in charge has heard the views Of
all elements interested. II has had expert advice
and the benefit Of frequent consultation with Su-
perntendent Miller of the Buildings Bureau and OF
his suggestions.
There seems to he no objection to the adoption of
this proposed code that Of the various special
interests which always seek advantage in such a
situation. There always will he such opposition.
Compared to the better protection of the public and
the effectng of improvement and economy in con
st1lction work it is negligible. 1t certainly should
not be permitted to sidetrack what appears TO hn
honest effort to the pubc's interest in this
very important field.

The great Increase in the consumption
of alcohol in France, which now averages
annually five litres (5.3 quarts of pure
spirit per head of the population. which
is equal TO thirteen litres OF the liquor OF

movement In that country. The Senate

has under discussion, a bill to cut down
the 10000 licenses at least a half. To-day
there is bar for every eighty-two in
