THE INFERIOR SEX"
A Suffragist Asserts the Manifold
Weakness Of Women.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: An article by Dr.. Woods Hutchinson
in this weeks Saturday Evening Post
on THE Hardy Nerves of Women al
though disavowing the thought OF sex
inferiority, draws the irresistible conclu-
sion that upon every count such in
feriority does exist The development Of
all the senses-seeng, hearing, feeling,
smelling and tasting-is shown by actual
experiments TO be much stronger in the
male than in the female. The nerves OF
the female. although more sensitive are
not so acute as those OF the male; hence
in suffering the female yields more
readily and recuperates more QUICKLY
while the male will combat such ailments
to the uttermost. and when forced to
Weld. recovery is a matter OF doubt
In the arts and sciences woman cannot
cone with man. Tho worlds greatest au-
thors. painters, sculptors. musical COM
posers. doctors of philosophy, theology,
law and medicine, poets. engineers ana
teachers are masculine. Although the
eternal feminine" may copy in some of
these achievements OF our civilization, she
rarely exces in any. Even woman voice
shows arrested development, and con-
tinues, as rule, on a parity with that OF
a boy of twelve. While training and Gull
tivation render it pleasantly musical.
strength or viriity is lacking.
The brain is smaller and lighter and
although OF perhaps finer quality, rarely
enables it's possesscr to achieve great
things in the worlds progress. Any eX-
ceptional cases simply prove the rule and
indicate a tendency decidedly masculine.
Dressing IL woman in male attire. how
ever. cannot deceive even a street gamin-
the sex is patent TO all.
While [ would not imply by the above
expressions that woman is but half
baked" human being, the obvious fact.
which cannot be gainsaid. is that she was
created for an entirely different sphere of
usefulness, supplementing mot supplant-
ing) man. All this aside from the aues-
ton OF suffrage, which should not be the
prerogative OF man, but should be limited
by a test of intelligence and property in
terests, and applied without discrimina-

cations EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

Less Politics in the Commissions.

1t is TO be hoped that Governor Glynn will not
give place on the New York City Public Service
Commission 10 Chairman McCombs Of the Demo-
rratlc National Committee. Governor Dix once
made the mistake Of appointing the chairman Of
The Democratic State Committee to the upstate com
mission and that body, the worthy Mr.. Huppuch
and tn Governor himself suffered.
Mr.. McCombs. TO be sure is not a Huppuch
Nevertheless, ynat is needed in the commissions Is
not more politicians. but fewer, Hughes kept them
comparison Governor Gynn has announced his
belief in the Hughes political standards He can
live up to them in this important appointment with
more grace and better results for the public than
if he tries to play Democratic upllft politics

An Express Station at Fifty-ninth Street.

Strong reasons support the plan of Chairman Nc
Call for the construction of an express station in
the existing subway at Columbus Circle. There
NAV have been some justification for building only
local station there originally. In any event the
growth of the surrounding district, both as bust
ness and amusement section and as dwelling spot,
has now made the change imperative.
There is the additional fact of the crosstown line
at this point Owing to the existence Of Central
Park the city is very inadequatey supplied with
east and west routes and the 59h street line should
certainly be utilized TO the maximum advantage.
The construction of an express station here offers
few obstacles and the cost will certainly be just-
fed by the convenience furnished not only to the I'M
mediate district but to the entire city.

No Unofficial State Convention Needed.

Mr. Job Hedges continues TO argue in favor OF Ill

He says that without a convention the hepuo''o""
voters will not be able to concentrate their atleh

We cannot see how convention would help

The party must cast off apron strings and depehu

The Demand for Early Constitutional
Revision.

Governor GlyDns speech TO the Democratic State
Committee was an earnest plea for the holding of a
constitutional convention next year. The Demo
Gratis and Progressives in the campaign OF 1912
pledged themselves TO the holding OF such con
yention at the earliest time, and the Republicans
favored early submission Of the question whether
there should be a convention TO the peoplea pledge
which the special election next month will meet
It Is probable that these platform declarations rep
resented then and represent now the desire Of most
Of the states voters. In the ordinary of
events the convention would be held, under the
present constitutions provisions, in 1918. But as
Governor Gynn says, the spirit Of 1914 is not the
spirit of 1894" and the present spirit regarding
governmental functions and agencies is sufficiently
different from that which inspired the existing con
stituton so that delay Of three years In changing
that instrument may well undesirable to thou
sands of citizens.
IL is true that the short ballot advocates and the
woman suffragists and the conservationsts ana
other seekers after changed constitutional pro-
visions are conducting their amendment campaigns
with considerable prospect Of obtaining these
changes about soon II they were embodied IN
new constitution turned out By convention next
year But even IF all seekers after changes were
satisfied by 1913, the constitution would still be like

THE DOUBLE STANDARD
Do Our immigration Rules Treat the
Sexes Equally?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Is It possible that our government
