testify against for fear of losing the little support
which they receive. 1t will probably for this saline
reason impe judges to prescribe more severe sen

OUR HYPOCRISY IN MEXICO
We Rail at HuertA and Aid HE
Enemies.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is tendency on the part
Of some newspapers and individuals TO
sigh self-complacently and, seeing only
hopeless anarchy ahead in Mexico, assert
that, anyhow, it's too late TO recognize
Huerta now.
1t is not too late for recognition. but
recognition Is not so important IN itself as
that il would indicate to Mexico and TO
the world the intention Of the Washing
ton administration to withdraw its sup
port from the bandits who are terrorizins
Mexico, to enforce the neutrality laws 50
that arms, ammunition and money could
not be supplied by the American foment-
ors Of revolution and to keep hands of
Mexico's internal affairs.
The honest enforcement of the neutral
ity laws alone would do more to restore
peaceful conditions In Mexico than any
other single factor.
Never has there been case OF more
blatant national hypocrisy.
No wonder Latin-American nations are
suspicious PUZZLED.

Governor Clynn's Economy Message.

Governor Glynns passionate words about the ne
cessty Of economy in state affairs convey no orig
nal discovery. His two Democratic predecessors
announced-each in his characteristic fashion-a de-
t rmnation to reform the business of the common
wealth so 1t could add little to its surplus each
wear They didn't. Dix's 'busiCess administration
peteled out as Dix himself did; Suffers bombastic
assertions amounted only to the fact that 1.-THE hour
had struck for him rather than for the cessation
of huge appropriations. Governor Glynn is happier
than they were i'm having served as Controller with
ability and credit and I'm being able, therefore, to
back up his recommendation for economy with spe-
cifc suggestions az to ways for retrenchment and
means for increasing revenue by taxation reforms
and use of the states natural resources.
Retrencbment alone will not carry this state far.
Common honesty rather than politicsplaying in adj
ministering the departments and scientific budget
making will money, obviously. Holding down
the states improvements and restricting its instit
tions will save money, too, but the administration
which sQueezes honest legitimate good roads extern
sion and hospital asylum and prison work will find
itself unpopular and failing to fulfil its real duty to
the public As matter of fact the public does Lot
demand, necessarily desire, a lessening of ex-
penditures If that means slowing up of the states
work. All it wants is assurance that the money
spent is spent honestly not in graft and wisely for
the good of all rather than the enrichment Of the
political ring which happens to be I'm control at the
time. There remains then, the matter of increas-
ing the states revenues and that the Governors
message Is happiest. 1t is high time the state got
rid OF unproductve properties and received proper
return for holdings which 1t abandons. 1t is more
than high time that the state took advantage OF It's
natural resources for purposes Of revenue.

THE BUSINESS OF BEING A WOMAN
Motherhood, Says q Reader. Should
Leave Her Time for Nothing Else.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Woman is not less than man: per-
haps she is greater than man. But. above
all things, she is different from man be-
cause she bears the child. That control-
ing fact no device OF ours can affect. And
it has farreaching implications. Its in
fiuence in the wonderful force that at
tracts each sex to the other is a mere
trife i'm comparison with its other human
affiliations The physical and mental
quality of that child will be affected by
the interests and preoccupations of the
mother for long months before 1t sees the
light. They will be even more powerfully
affected by the interests and preoccupa-
tons of the mother by the atmosphere OF
the home. for many long years before
adolescence begins. No language can state
the import of these well known facts,
which rampant agitators are now trying
to thrust into the discard.
Miss Tarbell, In her book, THE Business
of Being a Woman" has stated the UNI
changeable truth with rare clearness and
force Motherhood and its duties are the
true business Of woman: her predes-
tined law, provided since the dawn of
life upon this planet, most to be desired
and least to be escaped. And II is just as
impossible for her to do this work with
the desired thoroughness and care. the
devotion Of mind and heart to the exclu-
SION OF other matters, while she Is busted
with matters political, running conven-
lions, voting, holding ONCE. acquiring the
knowledge and practical experiences that
are essential to any kind of good work in
the world, as 1t is for the man to be In
his business ONCE and at home taking
care OF the baby at the same time. With
out too much exaggeration 1t might be
said that II Is just as impossible as 1t
u ould be for him to bear the child in the
Arst place.
For those who, whether by choice or ac-
cident, have missed the highest privilege
of womanhood, there can be no word or
thought OF reproach. But the man who
has lost an arm does not ask that every
other man shall have one arm cut OFF or
tied behind him. so as to restore equality.
And for the idle plea of idle hands and
brains that modern industrial changes
have so transformed the work OF woman
that she has useless time to be spent In
some way there should be no mercy. One
child is an occupation. A husband may
be an occupation.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-01-08

We are inclined to think that the citizens of Okla
hona could do vastly worse than elect Al J. Jen-
nings late train robber and convict Governor OF the
state. In fact. there are states much nearer New
York where Mr.. Jennings might take Office with
benefit to all concerned
1t Is because Mr.. Jennings shows up the stodgy.
selfrigheous hypocrisy Of order of things that
he makes such an impression upon his readers and
friends. He is like gale Of wind sending the silk
hats sailing to the gutter. Take this part of his talk
explaining why he has decided TO seek the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Governorship in his
state:
had been train robber, crude, open defer Of
society, and had been caught and punished. | saw
all about me men who wore the best clothes and
stood high in society robbing the people right and
left, and not getting caught or being punished They
were primitive as had been In the method
they chose They did things in the dark, and only
appeared in the open when they had on their Sunday
clothes SO to speak. But, tell me, what is the diff
ference between the man who holds up train at
the point OF gun and he who loots the treasury Of
a state?
The only difference ! can see is that the train
acter while the spokesman leads double life.
Jennings took his medicine without whimper.
and when it was past set out to lead life that
frankly acknowledged the early mistakes and sought
TO better himself and others through what he had
learned He believes in the parole system for con
victs and must be counted Of the strongest advo.
Gates Of prison reform In the country. lie plans to
do much for the prisons Of Oklahoma II elected.
So, too with the crooks Of political life. 1t is re-
freshng to hear his sraighfrom he-soulder COM
nents the respectable crime OF stealing from the
public. Such talk cannot fall TO do good In any
community. And granted official power would
back Al Jennings TO introduce his parole system d.
rectly into the lives Of number OF distinguished
citizens.
Good luck TO Governor" Jennings, We suspect
that New York needs him more than Oklahoma
and we envy that state her chance

THE LAND CONFiSCATORS
Owners Are Urged to Unite Against the
Single Tax.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What Is the matter with the tax
payers and landlords Of this great city!
While we are resting i'm fancled security
a crowd or indictments are scheming TO
fitch from US the fruits of our toll.
The doctrine Of the single takers, land
coniscators, low renters. etc, Is more
deadly and dangerous than the harmless
impractical and utopan dream OF the
socialists. They aim TO rob the landlord
of his property by taxing him to death.
They hope to coerce the Legislature this
year into giving them permission.
The overburdened owners of real estate
in New York should rise as one man and
show these dangerous agitators that their
presence in this city will not be tolerated.

Mr. Cbamberlain's announcement of his impend-

rather thnn of political significance. For nearly
eight years he has taken no active part In Paria-

Of his name from the roll will sever one Of the last
