MUST WOMEN WORK AT HOME?
Some Are Better Fitted for Other
Work and Should Do II.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: one who signs himself Friend OF
the Woman Of the Home bursts into a
tantrum about the criticisms on the Board
OF Education for discharging teachers foI
the crime OF bearing children. lie cites
two cases. giving their salaries, the sal
aries OF their husbands, the location and
character OF their residences. Now, vii
he please explain what these conditions
have 10 do with the case? Did not these
exist before the babies were born? Would
the women have been discharged under
these conditions IL they had not given
birth to babies? II so, that is a
different matter. II is the principle OF
dscharging women for no other offence
than that of bearing children which those
who have any sense OF justice condemn
IL would be more just to pension teachers
for bearing children than to pension po-
licemen TO make room for others.
II these women were allowed to con-
tinue in the work which they have spent
years in qualifying themselves for they
would probably employ men who are not
qualified to teach 10 do their houseclean-
ing, laundrying and dressmaking and
other women To do their homework and
care for their babies, and whose business
is IL. anyway?
Some women have fitted themselves for
something other than household drudgery
and have demonstrated their qualifica-
tions for IT. Teaching is one which wom-
en- are especially suited to; they cannot
do all things that men can The fair way
would he for men to be discharged ana
give this field to women.
1t is just as sensible to say all men
should work on farms as that all women
must work In homes. They are not all
needed in the homes, and many have no
one to support them They have Just as
much right to earn an honest living as
man has, and have just as much right
TO become mothers as men have to become
fathers. and not be thrown out of employ
ment for II, either.

Public Works in the Philippines.

The military establishments Corregidor of
which mention was made the other day, are only a
small part of our public works in the Philippines,
and the problem of disposing of them in case OF
scuttng is minor In comparison with the question
Of what would become In that contingency Of these
other enterprises.
The official report which we quoted yesterday
shows that under American direction the Philip
pines are being placed in the worlds forefront in
equipment with schools, markets, parks, water sys-
TENS public buildings, roads, bridges and other
utilities Our administrators there have found an
all but virgin SOIL which they have titled and plant
ed with all the fitness of experience and without
the obstacles of preexistng institutions The result
Is that the Philippines being made in public
works one of the best equipped countries in the
world
No rational man will pretend that these things
would have been done if we had scuttled out and
left the islands derelict Immediately upon our de
struction Of the Spanish power, separationist
friends insist we should have done. Neither is 1t
reasonable to assume that the extensive works now
MANNED would be carried to execution If should
now adopt the "get-outquick' programme OF Messrs.
Jones and Quezon
The question is whether shall remain in the
islands and complete their equipment with public
works second TO none in the world, and shall do
with the integrity and efficiency that are charac-

Enforce the Automobile Laws

The arraignment Of drunken chauffeurs and auto
mobile speed maniacs' which Mitchell May, Sec.
rotary Of State makes is in reality arraignmept
Of those who are charged with the duty Of enforc-
ing the laws 1t Is true that these classes of drivers
are responsible for a very large proportion Of all
the automobile accidents which occur But 1t is
not true that there no laws to reach them !;
and It is not likely. as Mr.. May seems to believe,
that the setting by law Of an absolute instead OF
an indefinite speed limit would improve conditions
onment for any person TO drive a motor while
drunk Very recently the newspapers Of the state
were full of sensational accident, in which the
victim, a young woman who had been taking Joy
ride" with young man OF this city and came 10
grief when the automobile smashed into the curb
declared that both had been drinking heavily. No
steps were taken TO prosecute the young man
on that score. and he sent away with virtual
apology by the magistrate when the girl withdrew
an assault charge on which he had been arrested
Numerous cases occur every month when reckless
drivers who ought TO go TO Jail for being drunk get
off with fines for speeding. Changes In the laws re-
garding speed limit would not make any particular
difference If experience with the motor car regula
lions prior to the passage of the existing law IS
worth anything. Drastic enforcement Of existing
penalties backed M by public indignation whenever
Judge errs on the side Of charity might deter the
speed demons.

CHESS COMMERCIALIzED?
Sensational Reports from Germany
Are To Be Taken with Grain of Salt.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In Sundays issue OF The Tribune,
under the headlines Chess Commercial
ized-German Editors Blame United States
for Conditions Obtaining" a dispatch
from Berlin says that chess editors in
Germany declare that the game has been
commercialized under American iuflu-
ences, and that they claim, as striking
illustration OF this. the proposed match
for the championship OF the world be-
tween Lasker and Rubinstein. who In
tend TO divide $4,000 between them. ask
ing as much "a 81, 500 as fee from clubs
for playing three games, etc. In view OF
the fact that the players have agreed
upon playing all the games of the match
In Europe only. and. furthermore, taking
into consideration that they have offered
to sell book containing all the games to
American subscribers. who are expected
to pay S only for each copy of the book.
and who will receive the book. printed In
English provided two hundred Americans
will order the book. II is rather difficult
to see what American influence was at
work In the Lasker- Rubinstein scheme,
the HlOTe 30 dS luliy nHt W Slh "tthS
ter the signing of the articles by the prin-
cipals became known in this country.
The whole story must be taken with a
grain Of salt, as-and this is a we'll known
fact-chess editors I'm Germany are one
and all either masters of the first magni-
tude. like Tarrasch, Schlechter. Spiel
mann. Leonhardt, etc, or they are
theoreticians only. Envy on the one side
hatred on the other. are instrumental In
bringing forth adverse comments. Cham
pion Lasker. in the last number of the
'Schachwart" has this to say on the sub
ject:
when all is said and done. and provid
ed l should succeed In getting together an
extraordinarily large sum. there will be
IS, 900 marks about 5000 only left for
division between the players, and this
would then be fee for practically six
months hard work. which will give the
chess players the world over an entertain

Ing the social position OF cness masters
are clearly defined by the rules and regu-
lations laid down for the forthcoming
worlds championship match. Give to the
chess master the fruit he produces. Just

Sensitive Mr.. Mccall.

The Tribune regrets that Mr.. Mccall is wounded
by the cartoonists' representations Of him. But 1t
does not see that anything be done TO alleviate
his suffering.
The trouble is that Mr. Mccall has developed
these delicate sensibilties a good many years too
late. He objects TO being represented as tied fast
10 Tammany Hall. But he himself united his
career with that institution many years ago. All he
has gained politically he owes to Tammany All his
hopes in the future centred his close friend
ship with Tammany and its leader
II Mr.. Mccall to-day shrinks from seeing himself
coupled with an infamous organization he has only
himself to blame The record of lifetime has
drawn his portrait beyond the power Of any car
toonist to change or detract.

Sulzer Tears Away the Curtain
Behind Which " Invisible
Government" Hides.

Mr. Suffers statement Of the causes which leu
Murphy to order his impeachment throws c'ea'
white light on the operations OF the lnVsioie gov
eminent" under which New Workers have long hVed'
1.-THE Mail" has done public service in securing
this statement since though it is necessarily er pare
and is SO far unsupported by direct corroooratNe
evidence 1t depicts just such situation as pIac'
ticaly everybody is satisfied does exist Ihere IS an
air of verismilitude about the details which carries
conviction The public, knowing what 1t does from
the outside about Murphy and his Methods VIII
regard Mr. Suffers account of what goes on Dehhu
the curtain as entirely natural and reasonable IN
it Murphy talks and acts as the allpowerful chiet
lof a predatory organization like Tammany would
talk and act.
There Is nothing in the Sulzer disclosures incon-
,g1ous or unbelievable. The fact Of invisible gov
ernment" is one which the intelligent observer con-
tinually stum0les 1t alone explains the Sue
cessful existence of a Pratorian guard in politics
such as Murphy commands and through which ne
lterrorizes the puppets whom he puts into once
HE is the Grand Treasurer who supplements the
'"chicken feed" which they draw as salaries the
Grand Examiner who rates them for promotion ac-
.cordng to their usefulness to the System" the
Grand Inquisitor who gets things on them III
their moments of weakness and the Grand Execu-
toner who beheads them when they become unruly
and want TO turn good"
The rack on which Sulzer was stretched has been
used for numberless other victims, great and small
who have tried to recover little independence and
manhood and who have found to their sorrow that
Tammany never stands for such sentlmentalsm as
trying to forsake the old evil ways
Whatever exaggeratiOn there may possibly be in
some Of the ex-Governor's narrative Of his deal
ings with Murphy there can be no possible question
of the absolute truth of this fundamental conten
ton:
II was mpeached Iby the Assembly, not because
of any misdoings but because declined to recog-
nize Mr. Murphy as the Chlef'-the invisible and
a-powerful Chief in the government Of this state:
because | would not obey the Chiefs telephone or
ders sent through emissares at this end Of the
line" Tammany would under ordinary circumstances
have laughed at Suffers campaign activities as
TOUGHER" just it laughed at Stilwell's attempts
to collect brides in the Legislature 1t would have
whtewashed him of the campaign fund charges
without the flicker of an eyelash, If he had only
carried out Murphys orders about the distribution
of patronage and contracts. His unforgivable Of
fence was trying to set up for himself as Governor
and to cut the wires between the Capitol at Albany
and the headquarters OF invisible government in
this city
Those wires must be cut in the public interest and
through his exposure of the operations Of the "Sys
TEN" which Murphy heads the Ex-Governor can
still do much to tear down Invisible government
and set up genuine popular government in its stead.
