HOW BEECHER HELPED WOMEN
Pioneer Suffragist and Defender of
Higher Education for Women.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Suffragists should add their trib-
ute TO Henry Ward Beecher I'm connection
with the celebration of the Tooth ami
versary of his birth He gave his power
ful aid 10 the cause at time when II
was intensely unpopular and when his
own Influence and popularity were enor-
nous. He came out Tor woman suffrage
In 1856, and championed Il all his life.
A magnificent address of his. entitled
woman Suffrage Mans Right" was re-
published as a tract and circulated by
thousands
Mr. Beecher also stood by women in the
professions. When Drs. Elizabeth and
Emily Blackwell. I'm 1857. opened the New
York Infrmary for Women and Children
the idea of a hospital run by women met
with great opposition. They were told
that without men as resident physicians
they would not be able TO control the
patients. that their death certificates
would not be accepted, that the hospital
would become a resort of disreputable

SmuaaIins in the Home.

The lady who smuggled dresses past Uncle sam
custom houses not to beat the tariff but TO deceive
her husband Is coming in for good deal of debate
Is wife justified in smuggling dresses into an
otherwise happy home? Should a wife ever deceive
her husband as to price tags--or anything else'
And so
Let us express our own personal view that she
may sometimes be iustifed-but that in America
the home of the perfectly doce husband. the cases
of justification must he exceedingly rare Snug
Cling past the national line is, of course. another
matter. When you have nation that is doing It's
best by you to try to cheat that nation OF a"tu'

Until that lofty cock of the-walk is taken down

better treatment Any wife who resorts to snug
Cling and deceit to get dresses out of him ought
to be ashamed of herself.

Futurist Cooking.

So long as the FuturstS confined their attentions
to those unconsidered rines. painting and literature
all was for the best in the best of worlds. Now,
most unfortunately. Futurism is being taken up by
the cooks one of them. at least. Partisan chcl de
cuisine named Jules Maincaye declares himself a
culinary disciple of Sgnor Marinetu and denounces
as an outrage the fact that while oil and vinegar
are a classic" blend rum adulterated with pork
gravy is still held TO be eccentric Here is frac-
tion of JuleS's frightfu pronunciamento:
The Futurlst cookery has for its principal object
the blending Of foodstufs segregated. and will
provoke absolutely unheard-of sensations.
Provoke is indeed the word. 1t is to avoid these
promised sensations, and for no other reason, that
we have postponed that annual trip to Paris They
are worth escaping by several thousand miles, and
at the price Of small disappointment. The very
list Of some of NJ Maincaves innovations induces all
the symptoms of nervous Indigestion: let Of mutton
with shrimp sauce is an Infinitely more odious
imagining than the Nude Descending Stair

even the too well remembered Dancers at the
Spring beef du kummcl garnished with bananas

raspberry Jelly as breakfast dish exceeds In pity
and horror the infamous Family Group" in plaster
that sent so many persons away from the FuturiSts
Armory show last spring with sick headaches that
lasted several hours. As for tomatoes with whipped
cream--but draw the tabecoth.

IN DEFENCE OF Mr.. COMSToCK
His Life and Work Are Praised as
Barrier Against Vice.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Referring TO the communication IN
your issue OF the 22d inst. in regard 10
Anthony Comstock by Everitt Il. Martin.
! beg 10 say that | do not know Mr..
Martin and never heard OF him until he
exhibited the spirit Of true man by his
defence Of Mr.. Comstock i'm the communi-
cation mentioned. but ! desire you and
the public to know that ndorse every line
of Mr. Martins letter. and 1t seems 70
me that your attempt in the editorial note
appended TO the article In question TO
brush aside the gentleman's words and
the challenge he offered is nothing less
than lodging the issue.
Your editorial which Mr.. Martin re-
fcrred 10. is a most reprehensible attack
upon Mr. Comstock and his work.
You say that The Tribune respects Mr..
Comstock's good work as much as any
one"
II this be true. will you in proof OF II
point out when and where The Tribune
ever showed within its editorial columns
any marked approval or commendation OF
Mr. Comstocks work? I have been a con-
tinuous reader of The Tribune for many
years, and | have often regretted and
wondered at the fact that no adequate
Endorsement of Mr.. Comstock. so far as
! have noticed. has ever appeared In its
columns. You say. "It regrets his blum
ders."
II he has seriously blundered, pray let
US know how and when he has done So
and. as Mr.. Martin says, show him up
and, II the evidence is produced. II Will
be accepted" Moreover. even II he has
blundered il would be a credit to bright
cr and greater man than Mr. Comstock TO
carry on the work which that gentleman
has for more than forty years, and show
more successful and cleaner record
against the opposing forces he has met.
And IL may be said In passing that The
Tribune, with other members of the New
York press cannot be held entirely blame
less for that opposition.
am well acquainted with Mr.. Com
stock and 10 some extent with his work.
And while | am familiar with some of his
faults. vet Notwithstanding I will hasten
to denounce i'm no uncertain terms the
editor of The Tribune or any other person
" hose life and record will be emblazoned
upon the pages OF history as a sincere
reformer who stood steadfast through life
as a mighty barrier against vice and per-
version of the minds OF the youth of our
country.
The Tribune has made a good record
upon the side of right and justice. It's
achievement in causing the fresh. pure air
TO revive the wasting forms of thousands
Of fororn women and children will never
be effaced from among the glorious acts
of tenefactors of mankind.
We praise and bless YOU for IL, but we
will not let the opportunity escape which
now presents itself to US to beg the edi-
tor who has unwarrantably slurred Mr..
Comstock in the editorial referred to to

An ancient Republican Abuse. "

In an excellent plea for the resignation of Mr. Nc
Reynolds our neghbor "The World declares that the
Attorney General resored to the ancient Republican
abuse of making the enforcement of the law politi-
cal and personal matter"
1t would he pathetic 10 think that young Mr. Nc
Reynolds born pure and perfect Jefersonlan' mad
been corrupted by association with an iniqnitous Re
publican administration But is it not possible that
the responsibility Of the Republican party is some
what less than is indicated?
OF course every political abuse is Republican by
nature. But are not great many abuses also Dem
ocratic as well? Might not Mr. McT'eynods. for eX-
ample, have taken his standards of personal rule
from no less Democrat than the great and dictate
rial Andrew Jackson, for example? or, coming
nearer 10 our own time where is the enforcement of
law more matter of politics and personalities than
right here in New York City under the glorious Jack
sonian rule of the Hon. Charles Francis Murphy?

If Rumania Takes a Hand ?

The rumors Of Rumania's inclination to support
Servia against Bulgaria in case Of war recall
strongly remark Of ten days ago in the "Lokalan-
zeger," of Berlin. "The key to the present stua-
ton," said that paper, 'is to be sought at Bu-
charest." And the "Lokalanzeiger is frequently
the object Of direct official inspiration from the
WiIheImstrasse.
OF course Rumania is under strong provoca-
ton to take a hand In the matter, and if she did
so It would naturally he against Bulgaria. After
bearing the brunt and doing the best of the fight
ing i'm the war which liberated Bulgaria In 1877,
she was herself grossly despoiled, and ever since
then she has been treated In not merely migrate
ful but an actually hostile manner by Bulgaria.
The little compensation" which she has lately re-
ceived is scarcely sufficient to satisfy her.
If she should join Servia and the other allies in
n war against Bulgaria the latter power would he
IN an almost desperate plight unless Austria Hun
gary came to her aid, for Rumania alone is much
larger and stronger than she. But Austria Hun

A Beneficial Exchange.

All Washington dispatches agree that the plan
Of the Union Pacifc-Southern Pacific dissolution to
be offered TO the federal Circuit Court at St Paul
tomorrow will contain aS one of its features an
exchange Of $3S,OO0,OOO of Southern Pacific stock,
held by the Union Pacific, for a similar amount Of
Baltimore & Ohio stock. held by the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
Such an exchange would be Of benefit all around.
1t would enable the Union Pacific to get rid Of
stock In a competing road, all direct interest in
which it must divest itself Of according TO the
decree Of the Supreme Court. The stock would 80
to an Eastern road in way competitor with the
Southern Pacific. On the other hand the Pennsyl-
vana Railroad would be enabled to dispose of its
holdings in Baltimore & Ohio, to some extent a
parallel and competing system, whereas the Union
Pacific and the Baltimore & Ohio operate In diff
ferent halves of the continent.
The government should be glad to promote so
satisfactory a shift in ownership, since the ex-
change would carry out the spirit of the interstate
commerce law and would be thoroughly beneficial
to all the parties interested in 1t.

Farmers sons should stick to
the farm" is a theme upon which
many able discourses have been
rendered, and we must confess that
there is good logic and advice in
the dictum eulogized upon by men
of learning and experience, but
there is something else to consider
while giving out this good advice.
If a man is not adapted to certain
line of work, or on the other hand if
he is adapted to his line of labor and
in the course of events he finds that
he wants something higher up or
more satisfactory employment it
rests entirely with him to make this
change. Some of the most able
men this glorious country can boast
of were reared on a farm. They
were discovered and their worth was
at once recognized. Our presiden-
tial chair, our big colleges, and nu-
merous other instances where brains
and energy count. have been sup
piled by the boys from the farm.
Hence we say that it is not just to
ask the farmer boys to stick to the
farm. If this were followed to the
letter where would we get the COM
petent men to conduct the other
lines of business?
