The Carman Case.

The arrest of Mrs Carman on coroner WARRANT

and astonishing interest. For several days she anu
her husband have known that she was the opJec'
of general suspicion in their community ana tha'
tbe officials were conducting their investigation on
tho theory that she shot Mrs. Bailey. For TINS
suspicion her own actions and circumstantlal evil

Jealous of her husband. She had photograph

added complication is the jealousy and political

case In hand. All these things make the Carman
case one which has gripped the public interest as
has no similar affair in a decade. Some persons
consider such interest morbid, and lament that
half as much concern is not displayed about the
solution Of municipal problems and questions OF
politics Yet here is pretty fundamental ques-

A Real Department of Correction.

Miss Davis. Commissioner of Correction, wants
the Board of Estimate to give her S396,Oo 10
build a reformatory for boys at New Hampton
Farms, in Orange County, to take the place of the
present institution on Harris Island After that
she will want other appropriations to build
modern industrial prison on Harris Island, re-
placing the present Blackwell's Island penen-
tiary, and still more money for farm on Rikers
Island which is her conception of the proper
substitute for the Backwelrs Island workhouse.
This is an ambitious programme, and Of course
it will cost money. But the money will not all
have TO be furnished at once. And Miss Davis
can be relied on to get her moneys worth. II
will pay the city TO grant her these appropra
tons. She has outlined a comprehensive scheme
Of institutional reorganization which will bring
the city up to date in its manner OF handling cor
rectonal problems Carried out, this programme
would make her department one "of correction,
not OF jails" as Mayor Mitchell once remarked of
her policy OF work. reformatory where boys
would be taught other things than vice, wor,;-
house whose inmates would really work at farm
tasks and other healthful occupations instead of
being herded together, first offenders with
sodden gutter residents and an Industrial prison
instead of the existing pen ought to save the
city money in the long run.

MURDER VS.. MILITANCY
One Seems to Qualify Man and the
Other to Disqualify Woman for Vote.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the murder OF Francis
Ferdinand and his wife | have read
a list of the murders of forty rulers
beginning with that of President Lin
coin, in 1855 All of the murdcrers
were men. All the crimes committed
by women, from Eve down to Pank-
hurst, do not approach this list for
Nervousness, yet whenever woman
destroys a little property anywhere
on earth howl goes up all over the
world about the wild women and
"this shows the uniitness Of women to
be intrusted with the ballot"
The men in this country Colorado.
where two women and eleven children
were burned alive, Montana and this
state -seem to have sworn their "un-
fitness to be intrusted with the bal
lot" as the wild women" have in
England. That crime qualities man
TO vote and lesser crime disqualifes
woman seems to be the reasoning of
some of our superhuman beings who
are Entrusted with the ballot"

4 GREEK VIEW or THE TURKS
An Answer to the Letter Of the Turk.
ish Ambassador.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In last Sundays edition OF your
paper noticed an article by his eX-
ceilency the Ambassador from Turkey,
in which he states the opinion of his
government toward the Greek Otto
mans. His eXcellency expects loyalty
to a government which is hostile to a
part Of its citizenship and which makes
them suffer on account of race or re-
ligion and tries to force it's ideas and
customs upon them.
In their manifesto 70 the civilized
world they promised liberty for all.
Now the representative Of these sam :
people comes forward with the an
nouncement that the liberty is only for
themselves and their party and their
ligionists. And if any of the other
inhabitants have ideas different from
those Of the oligarchy they call them
traitors and foreigners, not worthy the
privilege of freedom.
II there is in Turkey any Greek Ot-
toman not loyal or traitor to the
empire you have the laws and court
martials to punish them, Mr.. Ambas-
sador. but to be hostile TO part of
the population because some do not
agree with the laundering Of the coun-
try is ridiculous.
As everybody knows, the reason for
the Turkish antipathy for these poor
law abiding citizens is the Egean Isl.
ands. Through the punishment of the
Greeks in Turkey the Turkish govern
ment thinks it can force the Greek
government to give them up. All the
other stuff about the Greeks being not
loyal is nonsense.

Sir: Your ii cory set forth in your

Less Whiskey," while it raises an in
tcresting question. cannot be proved
enc way or another because of the lack
of facts or data.
However, as a matter Of personal OBJ

there is any real connection between
the consumption OF cigarettes and that
CT whiskey. One thing, however, is
more or less plain. and that is the in
creasing consumption of the milder
alcoholic beverages. such as wines and
beer This is the result probably of the
large volume of immigration from the
wine drinking districts of Southern Eu-
rope and of the growing habit of the
native born TO drink with their meals.
II is now most common thing to see a
glass of wine or beer on the table in
families which. a few years ago, would
have thought such use irregular or an
extravaganza.
II is to be hoped that the general
European custom of drinking at the
meals Will continue to grow in this coun-
Try, Tor that is the proper time and
place; and, besides, such custom has
been and Will be conducive to the right

A Horseless Fire Department.

Fire Commissioner Adamson has received the
approval Of the Board Of Estimate for all issue of
100000 bonds TO replace 1915 fire horses with
tractors for fire engines He expects before his
term Of Office ends TO have ousted the horse from
the Fire Department and to have it equipped with
motor engines only.
II he does much Of the pictureSqueness OF the
department will have vanished with the splendid
horses, which seem TO know what is expected Of
them quite az well the human members OF the
department do and to enjoy going to a fire as N
(. were froc The motor engines are doubtless
more efficient and less costly In the long run. II Is
proving that way In mercantile establishments,
where the motor trucks and delivery wagons are
supplanting horse drawn vehicles rapidly.
So the days Of the fire horse here are doubtless
numbered. along with his cousin. the ambulance
horse. The Fire Department Is not run for spec
tacular effect, but service. Nevertheless, word OF
commentator and affection is due to the 6re
horses az they 90. New York will long remember
them.

THE PRESIDENT AND MEXICO
He Misinterprets Wishes Of Ameri'
cans and Mcxicans Alike.
~ of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May | add a word or two TO your
comment on the following assertion OF
President Wilson. with reference to hlS
policy in Mexico:
my ideal is an orderly and righteous
government, but my passion is for the
submerged IS per cent of the people
of that republic who arc now strug'
Cling for liberty" And also this:
"Eighty-five per cent OF the Mexican
people have never been allowed 10 have
a look-in with regard to their govern
ment."
President Wilson was lawfully elect
cd President, but still. less than per
cent of the population voted for him.
And about per cent voted against
him.
OF the total Presidential vote about
5S per cent were against him.
Inasmuch as the majority OF the
voters were opposed to Mr.. Wilson's
political notions and policies, he should
realize that it is at least possible for
him to misinterpret their sentiments
in this Mexican matter and also in
others.
For instance. if it is right for ~
per cent of the people of Virginia The
President native state) 70 be gov
erned by the Z per cent who vote, how
can it be wrong for Mexico 10 be con-
trolled by 10 per cent of the popula,
ton? And this percentage holds gooo

States do not take the trouble to vote
If we, with all of our boosted inteili-
gence and fitness for self-goyernment'
cannot muster up any more active ~
terest than this in the duties of self
government, what can Mr.. Wilson eA-
pect of the ignorant Indians OF
Mexico?
The MeXicans have rebelled times
without number and overthrow their
government in order TO enjoy liberty
IN different form. But when they
got it they didn't know what TO 90
with il, and have fallen back into the
old rat every time.
Our President cannot seem 20 realize
that the civilization and the govern,

Who is the better judge Of the de-
gree of liberty which the Mexieans are
qualified to enjoy in their own country
the MeXicans themselves or Nh
Bryan or Mr.. Wilson?
What have the American peonle or
the Mexican people ever done 10 give
Mr.. Wilson the impression that they
