The Respectable Woman in the
Hands of the Police.

A young woman Of respectable stand
ing in the community was arrested on
an absurdly trivial charge few nights
ago on Riverside Drive. There was
appn rently no real necessity for modest
ing her In any way. But the police
man In the case had impulses Of per
lection and could not brook the friski-
ness OF her small dog. In his mind
the case was one for condign punish
ment, 80 he gripped her by the arm
and made her a prisoner.
Condensed into few words, this was
her account of her experiences, and no
doubt It Is substantially accurate:
81 not only was cruelty treated, but
was taken to the police station and then
put in n patrol wagon with negress. Al
Jefferson Market was put In prison

asked for a drink OF water, but my reques,
was denied"
This Is one Of those incidents which
make the judicious lament. Heaven
knows on what ground the arrest can
be justified The plea for the subse-
quent treatment OF the victim will he
that the law Is even handed and shows
favor to none. OF course this defence
Is balderdash Of the worst kind. To
shut any young woman Of clean life in

The Militant Climax.

Nothing the suffragettes had pre-
viousy done was so much calculated
to cstrange public sympathy from them
as the outbreak ut the court levee on
Thursday night. The English hatred
Of "a scene" Is proverblnl. But scene
in the presence Of the King, Il scene In
the midst OF a decorous social function,
scene wantonly created-here We
nave the objectionable, the unforget-
table, the act unutterabe. In the eyes
OF average Engishmen 1t will appear
more outrageous than the burning of
Breadsall Church at Derby with Its
chained Bible, although the latter crime
may seem to Americans the last word
in wilful malice.
1t is perfectly plain that militancy
has passed all bounds Of liberation or
leniency In the last few weeks. The
"cat and mouse" act instead Of opernt-
ing as check has directly encoura ged

stature, said 10 lie Responsible.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS--sr; It Ia
unfortunate that the Legislature Of 1917
failed to make an appropriation for the
summer and fall manpuvres for the Ma
tional Guard. The fault must be at the
door OF the Adjutsnt-General In failing to
impress upon the Legislature the impor-
lance OF field man9uvres for the National
Guard. The legislators have been more
than liberal in appropriatins money for
the use and vocation OF the National
Guard when the subject matter was prop
erly presented TO them. II Ia more seri-
GUS Mt the present time that this appro-
priation was not made in view OF the fact
that the National Guard OF this State may
be called into service N the Mexican
trouble.
The enlisted men and officers OF the
Guard look to the manpuvres as an appre-
citation by the State OF their voluntary
services. New York IL the only State in
the Union that has a complete division In
the militia reserve OF the United States,
due to the fact OF the liberal approprla-
lions by past Legislatures.

To THE EDITOR or THE sus-sir: In
searching for the causes Of the reckless
and ignorant legislation which has been
placed upon the statute books or 10
now being considered by Congress the
makeup OF that body should not be
overlooked. The Senate Is composed of
ninety-six members. Seventy-eight of
them are lawyers, nine business men,
six farmers. one teacher. one journalist
and one doctor. The vice-President is
also a lawyer, making seventy-nine out
OF a total Of ninety-seven.
The House of Representatives has a
membership Of $35. OF these 2ss are
lawyers. sixty-nlne are In business,
twenty-four are Journalists. ten farm
ers. four laborers. eight teachers. six
doctors and one architect. Thirty do
not give their OCCUPATION. but IL the
same proportion Of lawyers exists
among them as with the others there
are eighteen. Add them and the Speaker
and we have 500 lawyers out Of a total
membership Of 438. twelve moro than
two-thirds.
The two Houses together number 53i,
OF whom 3sl. or nearly three-Quarters.
are lawyers.
Not only are they lawyers, but they
are. a vast majority OF them. country
lawyers, not we'll versed In business and
Its needs. and with no comprehension
OF the laws Of trade or knowledge Of
historical commercial evolution.
This Ia business country and the
only way to secure intelligent con-
slderation for Its vast interests II to
send good many OF the attorneys who
have been doing such harm back to
their county courts ana elect business
Congress. Not one in fifty Of these
lawyers can earn anything like the
salary at home, and they constantly
manifest their readiness to make any
sacrifice. even to wearing Gompers's
collars. In order to stay here.
After all. the country ought not to
complain. II II continues to send the
sort OF men to Congress who tumble
over each other in their eager haste to
abase themselves at the nod of the
union dictators the worst legislation 1t
gets will be better than II deserves.
But Isn't Il time that business men
