The Sylvia Pankhurst 'militants'
may we'll plume, themselves upon the
rescue OF their fair leader from the po-
lice after a meeting In the East End
Of London which those hirelings in
va,lexi. Never before was martyr
torn from their grasp. and it detracts
little from the achievement that some
sympathizers who happened to wear
trousers also assaulted the cOnstables.
Such assistance Is accepted but not ac.
tually solicited.
1t seems the victors did not get out
Of the melee unscathed. They have
registered Il very serious complaint
about the rudeness OF the police, de-
claring that some Of the women were
thrown down and kicked. while male
militants sustained bruises.
The charge Is one Of those that are
difficult 10 deal with. IT Is made after
every street riot. People do and will
get hurt: they fall, or stumble. or sit
down in the struggle, and while ON the
ground are trOdden upon. 1t is hardly
credible that the London hobbies" de-
liberately kicked the ladies' who rushed
them. Hysteria would account for the

All the emphasis which Mr. MCADOO
can lay on the ability Of the Govern
ncnt to meet Its obligations is war
ranted by the record Of the United
States. but here again MIR. McADOO
misses the point. A chief cause Of
the fall In Government bonds Is not

which has come to be laid on the ulti-
macy Of II. Banks doing II demand

continual purchase and sale Of the bonds

vast commitment Of the national
banks In Government securities begins
TO lose some Of its necessary quality
in the category Of assets.
There are plainly two influences
making for depreciation Of the 2 per
cents and other Government securities.
One Is the prevalent doubt as to the
extent to which the national bank
holders Of these bonds will retain their
Federal charters and subscribe to the
new Federal reserve act unless the
bill is substantially amended.
The other influence emanates from
the bond refunding and note issues

signed. In the first place. to tit In with

the second place the refunding features
Of the bill are part and parcel Of de-
vice for new note issue framed not
In accordance with sound principles but
I'm accordance with Greenback notions
about the nature Of money.
Nevertheless II Is possible to devise
even Government note for issue
through the banks without retaining
the clumsy refunding process now con-

lCOLONEL ROOsEv ELT's FUTURE.


To THE EDiroR or THE SUN-Sir. I
read with considerable interest the editorial
article in THE Sun of October 12 entitled
"a Roosevelt Straw" In which you carry
the idea that the letter written by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt to Everett Colby OF
New Jersey indicates that Roosevelt is
drifting toward the Republican nOmina-
ton In 1916.
Permit me to say that Roosevelt may
think he IL drifting toward the Republican
nomination in 1916. but on the contrary
he Is drifting toward political oblivion.
For the Republican party to nominate
Roosevelt for President in 1916 would be
as idiotic and unpatriotic as 1t would
have been for the American people to re-
call Benedict Arnold and place him IN
command of the United States army.
So long as party treason Is not a virtue
and party loyalty is not crime. just so
long will Theodore Roosevelt be the polti-
cal outcast OF the Republican party.

In reviewing the recent achievement
in Congress i'm behalf Of free art and
common sense the Paris Figaro re-
marks:
THE artists had to wage a regular
campaign. which was directed by one OF
their friends. Mr.. JOHN QUINN, IA well
known member Of the New York bar and
himself u Keen amateur OF cOntempora-
neous painting. MIR. QUINN succeeded in
convincing Mr. UNDERWOOD. chairman OF
the tarin committee of the House OF
Representatives. Thanks to the high
standing OF Mr.. UNDERWOOD in the Ameri-
can Congress the artists were heard, their
arguments, eloQuently presented by Mr.
Quinn, were well weighed and the tax
which Mr.. QUINN had denounced as a
duty against living art will soon he sup
pressed forever"
The foreign newspapers award of
credit TO Mr.. QUINN for what has been
accomplished at Washington is Just
and not excessive. His important SER
vices deserve general recognition; and
certainly not the less so because his ef-
forts for free art were dislnterested and

To THE EDITOR or THE SrN-sir: Why
do Americans look upon the business OF
hotel and restaurant Keeping 80 differ
entity from the way they regard other
kinds OF business?
Most Americans have a good business
sense and in buying clothing and pro-
visions they seldom hesitate to examine
the articles and comment on the quality
and price Of the goods offered, and II they
don't care to pay so high price or the
quality isn't as represented they say SO.
But these same people will go to
hotel, take any kind OF room, pay
any price asked and be served food
they know is poor at an exorbitant price
and OF a quality they wouldn't accept
from their butcher and never dare to say
boo.
In Europe the people look upon hotel
and restaurant keeping the same as any
other kind OF business and deal with 1t
