THE WOMEN OF COLORADO
Why They Did Not Prevent the Fight
ing in the Mines.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: c. L. ID. Phelps asks "Will Mrs.
Blake explain why women's votes did
not prevent the fighting in Colorado
some months ago." Probably Mrs.
Blake will not pay any attention to
such a foolish question, but since Mr..
Phelps seems serious he has a right
to be enlightened. The answer is, be-
cause men are in the majority in Col
orado. Probably Mr.. Phelps is not
aware that a weakened man was
elected Governor by men and that q
lot of miners, mostly foreign men,
went on a strike against the mine own
ers, men, and the state militia, men,
were not able TO cope with them. About
ten children and two women were
burned &c death by men. The women
camped on the Governors mansion
steps until he telegraphed the Presi-
dent for troops and got an answer, and
the fighting was stopped.
OF course this little police duty on
foreign miners is not to be compared
with the grandeur and magnifcence of
the mems noble war in Europe, where
the women do not interfere. We men
who stand for peace and honest gov
eminent are usually in the minority
but the women are nearly all on our
side, and while We cannot hope TO
bring about the civilization of the
country we hope to improve it or at
least make it no worse and at the same
time abandon the barbarous law that
male sex is the only qualification for
voice in the government of both
sexes. MILFORD G.. BARNES.

NO JOB.GRABBING AT ALBANY
Gov. Whitman Can Save Millions by
Cutting Out Departments.
litnr Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Government Rehabilitation,
Not Job Grabbing" is the heading OF
an excellent editorial in The Tribune
Of the 18th inst. II Mr.. Whitman in
tends to keep the expenses Of the state
within the figure set by Governor
Glynn he must do some wholesale cut
ting.
Where there is a political cancer the
only sure remedy is the knife. The
first week of January should see the
abolition of the so-called efficiency de-
partment and the useless state fire de-
partment.
The compensation department ought
also 10 be abolished and some work
able law enacted in its place. The
present law is merely an asylum for
Tammany derelicts.
The verdict of the people on Elec-
ton Day was Enthusiastically against the
present order of things in Albany. Mr..
Whitman was elected to clean house at
the capital.
BY intelligent and discriminating use
Of the powers of removal, Governor
elect Whitman can save the state in
salaries alone S4,000,000 during the
first year of his administration. Will
he have the courage TO do 1T? 'lnves-
tigation and noise, such as character
lied the Sulzer regime, will not deceive
any one but the fatuous politician. The
people want results. I.

GERMAN HERO NOW CITIZEN
Kaiser Loses Right to Call on
Gunner Brodbeck.

Gustav Brodbeck, gunner's mate on
the battleship Florida. who was deco
rated for signal bravery at Vera Cruz,
yesterday became a United States citi-
zen. He was born in Germany.
Brodbeck, who has been sixteen years
in the navy, saluted Justice Van Siclen
n Queens Supreme Court, and gave
ready answers. He had letters Of rec
ommendation from Admirals Fletcher
and Badger and Captain Rush of the
Florida.
Miss Anna Teresa Mitchell, of Elm
hurst, graduate nurse, and Miss
Fannie Fischman, of Corona, were also
admitted. Miss Mitchell, a native of
Great Britain, said she was so proud
of this country she wanted 70 be a
citizen, and Miss Fischman said that
she wanted her citizenship TO assist her
in business as a stenographer.

Paris by August Is.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent, Mr.. Prieth,
thinks the really one good joke Of the
war is the Russian shout, Berlin in
three weeks!" but if he truly appreci-
ates this precise kind of humor, let me
remind him of better joke which he
appears TO have conveniently forgotten.
What about "In Paris by August IS"
and the nice little dinner party that was
TO be gathered together in that city on
shat date This joke ought to send
him into commissions.
Events are slowly but surely shaping
themselves that, while the Germans
will never get TO Paris, the Allies will
most surely get to Berlin, and the fore
cast of the Russians that this will hap
pen before the first anniversary of the
outbreak of the war seems in a very
fair way to be accomplished, which may
God grant II. WILLOUGHBY.

PATRIOTIC TEACHER-MOTHERS
A Reader Declares They Raise an Is.
sue of National Importance.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Patrons of education in our
metropolis are brought 20 the con-
sideration of whether all women teach
ers shall be unmarried or, at least,
childless, ard thus the nation be de-
prived of increase in population from
class best calculated 20 bring to per-
lection the citizen of the future. The
length of leave Of absence first re-
quested may seem inconsistent, as an
other child might then be born. A brief
period should be allowed. There should
be limited reserve of teachers to fill
vacancies caused by illness as well as
motherhood, and in every ward a pub
lie nursery, in worlds expositions,
where children can temporarily be left.
Teachers should not be compelled to
increase race suicide. Shall Father
Knickerbocker hit Uncle Sam on the
