The Defence TO the Stand.

This week the Suzer impeachment trial reaches
It's most interesting stage. The case Of the prosec
ton was known in advance. 1t had been well
press agented. II was weaker in many spots than
the public had been led to believe But the telling
of it was the telling, for the most part of more
than twice told tale.
OF the defence. on the contrary, little is known
Governor Suzer in spite of his natural incinations
and in spite of the advice Of his well wishers be
yond entering few general denials and assaIlns
the motives of his enemies. has kept silent. The
case for the prosecution indicated generally what
the defence would be-a contention that the unre-
vealed campaign contributions were gifts for the
candidates personal use. that the Governor was
legally within his rights in not reporting them and
that he was not cognizant Of the Wall Street specu-
lation How the defence will support these con
tentions in detail remains to be seen.
The issue is critical. The impression left on the
public mind by the whole trial will depend almost
entirely upon the behavior of the defence. \
straightforward story, carrying conviction with il,
would easily brush aside the cloud Of suspicion
which the Assembly prosecutors have created. for
that is about all that their efforts have produced

Eusion's Call for Funds.

The appeals for funds which the managers of the
fusion campaign are making should not fall on deaf
ears. The only source TO which fusion can look for
financial aid is the individual citizen 1t has moth
Ing to offer in the way of fayorS to corporations or
of protection to vice and crime. 1t cannot call on
those who make living through honest graft
Tammany monopOlizes all these sources. 1t is
ready TO play the game of give and take with any
body who can turn in contribution. 1t maintains
an army OF workers paid from the gifts of those
who hope to fatten later Tammany favors. That
army will be employed again this fall and dough
Day at the Hall will be celebrated with much
earnestness and enthusiasm as ever.
Murphy doesn't need 10 appeal TO the public for
his funds They flow in through well worn, secret
channels But the fusion campaign has to ask sup
port publicly starve It's purpose is the protection
Of the average citizen from the organized powers Of
plGnder which have long had strangle hold on
the city The Average citizen must therefore finance
his own fight and for the contribution lie makes he
will receive. not some individual graft but the as
sursnce Of fair and equal treatment for all and the
Giffused benefit Of honester and more efficient gov
ernnent.
Everybody who contributes 20 the fusion treas
ury will have the satisfaction of knowing that he
IS doing service not only to himself but also to
the entire community.

THE CHANGE OF NAME
American Catholic for Protest
ant Episcopal Is Favored.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The article in the Sunday Tribune
on the approaching general convention of
the Episcopal Church was 50 well written
and full OF interest that il is "A pity it
should have been marred by so Inaccurate
n statement as the following. concerning
the change Of name: THE change most
widely favored is to drop the word Prot
estant and substitute the word 'Catho-
lie" As an ardent advocate of the cor
rectlon Of the legal title may | explain
that the present title is Protestant Epis-
copar and the name most widely favored
by those who desire a change is "Ameri-
can CATHOLIC? To the average mind the
word protestant" stands for something
which began with the Reformation,
whereas the Anglican Communion claims
t. he part of the historic Church founded
by Christ. "Episcopal," or having bishops,
denotes universal mark OF the historic
Church, and is therefore Unnecessary as
a name
The Church Of England never ceased TO
say the creed containing the word catho-
lie. and she continued to use IL in the old
sense. while most Protestants omitted II
altogether. The Episcopal Church in this
country makes no claim TO be the whole
Church" American CHURCH. Holy
Catholic Church." all of which titles
would justly offend our brethren OF other
names: but she does claim to be that por-
ton OF the Church catholic which belongs
TO the American people. Hence the grow
ing desire among her members to be
known as American Catholic"

MAN FAILURE"
An Embittered Admirer of the New
Haven Road Turns to Sarcasm.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Tho cartoon In IL recent issue or
your valuable newspaper, entitled Man
Failure" having reference TO the report
OF the agent OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission In the matter of the wreck
OF September on the New Haven Rail-
road, suggests a remedy, viz: Appoint
McChord as chairman OF the board of di-
rectors, make him president and in fact

OF general manager. division superintend-

equipment, train master, chief engineer
engineer maintenance OF way, signal en-
ginecr. roadmaster, track supervisor ana
rail and material inspcctor--in short, give
him supreme control and let him run
things according 10 his ideals.
OF course, there would be no man fail
ure" nor equipment or track failure up to
that point, and the company would no
doubt gladly pay him 100000 a year for
services OF such value. In one OF the
capacities named he would have TO deal
with the signals and the men so well
paid FOR observing them. First. he would
see TO it that at every distant signal
an automatic device was installed to
apply the brakes to train passing II

ondly, install d deraiing device at the

SUFFRAGE CROSS-TAG
This --latest Notes That Even Male
Parades Require Police Protection.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: To continue the endless chain
which reminds one Of the game of cross
tag INDUCED in during our youth. would
like to reply to Alice Edith Abelrs letter
OF October 2. In the first place, as has
been remarked many times by many suf-
fragists, the ability TO vote does not en-
tail physical strength. Secondly march
Ing is not daily habit OF voters, MOI Is
II a necessary test of electoral ability.
Third. and last, are not masculine pa
rades generally given police protection as
we'll as feminine ones? Therefore. 1t Is
difficult TO see the logical connection be-
tween occasional parades and continuous
municipal housekeeping.
