Frank Hiscock. who died yesterday, had outIived
nearly all his political contemporaries Only Lew
F. Morton remains Of the group Of leaders who
carried on the wars of the Stalwarts and Hail

a place on the Finance Committee and was very
active in framing the tariff law of 1890 New Yorks

No Glory in Being Mpret.

Prince William Of WED must regret the day
when he weakly consented to become Mpret Of
Albania. There are many insecure and totterlng
thrones the world over but nowhere else is the
underpinning as fragile as that which supports the
royol establishment at DuTazzo-a capital whose
chief recommendation is that II hugs the shore OF
the Adriatic and thus offers opportunity for the
>overeigns quick getaway beyond the international
three mile limit.
The Mpret now seems to be fighting merely IN
order TO delay his embarkation. The Albanians
do not like his governmental methods, will they
cheerfuly submit to any ruler from the outside
who seeks TO impose them the yoke of civilized
government They are only about quarter civil
lied and glad of it, The women do the work OF
the country and the men walk about armed to the
teeth looking for chance to snipe" their personal
enemies When not fighting one another they en-
ioy an instruction against their imported gen
darmerie and their imported ruler
Albania will remain a storm centre in South
eastern Europe Italy and Austria Hungary both
coveting It, wouldn't let it fall into the hands Of
the Balkan States Now they will have to accept
the responsibility of governing 1t at long range and
with machinery which the Albanians do not under
stand Any other outsider replacing Mpret William
would probably only duplicate his forlorn expe-
rlence.

WHAT WOMEN WILL DO
Their Majority Not a Majority as a
Suffragist Sees 1t.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: And now comes one who says;
after women get the vote they will be in
the majority" In yesterdays Tribune
the "antis" were still harping about only
per cent of the women wanting to
vote"
or course, as is proven by experience
and as any one would expect the foreign
born women are fewer than the foreign
born men, and they do not work for con-
tractors and do not become naturalized
and vote. So that the women are always
in the minority and do not all vote alike
any more than men do. There never has
been and never will be vote or women
on one side and men on the other.
THE women do not tell us what they
will do to us" he cries. l will tell you.
There will be enough public spirited
women who have the good of the state at
heart to change the present minority OF
men to a majority. and we will elect men
TO govern US who will put Srafters out OF
the grating business. We Will not pay
millions more than the lowest responsible
bid and accept inferior work at the higher
price, as we have been doing for many
years. STEPHEN D oAONDHh'"'

them to do their part in public affairs and

American men, as rule, do not dis
criminate against their mothers, sisters,

their circumstances will permit, and our

The ENGLISH Way of Sport.

Now that a pickup English polo team has
dropped in casually, between cups of tea, and wal
oped our carefully groomed four the English
theory of sport is likely to receive respectful
attention here. Also the serious American way of
taking a game will hardly be worshpped as de-
voutly as it has been of late by the Makeup Eng
land" sportsmen. England seems rather fully
aroused. even her home critics must concede
An odd illustration of the two nations points OF
view appears in the golf situation number Of
prominent British golfers are at present seeking to
change the British amateur golf championship A
circular has been sent out proposing plan very
much like our American system, the essence Of
which is to substitute tbirty-six hole matches so
far as possible for eghteen-hole matches.
Now, there scarcely be any debate as to
which is the fairer test-as to which is more likely
TO bring the best golfer out on top. The British
system produces happy golucky, hit-or-miss con-
test Even its stanchest defenders in England
concede this fact But they are loath to give ND its
more enjoyable quality. As Mr.. Bernard Darwin,
of THE London Times says, "The championship
is very good fun as ii is and would be perceptbly
less pleasant if it were altered
The point in argument shows the whole national
difference involved Americans take their sports
more seriously than Engishmen. They specialize
more; they train and prepare more carefully; they
try harder 10 win; they want the fairer harder
test We suspect too, that the difference lies deep
in national character and that neither nation can
be remade exactly after the others model And,
as we Americans in fair way TO learn this
Summer, there is word to be said for the easy
going English way OF sport. Perhaps not the last
word But word to win by, often enough, at that.

A FEW NAUGHTY ACCELERATORS
Advice Is Offered Against November
Next.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l hadn't time yesterday to read
your leading article. "Mr. Wilson Puts
All the Administrators Troubles Up to
a Few Naughty Accelerators," but
clipped it and stowsd II In my clothes for
later absorption, because 1t suggested
meatiness And now, this evening. after
a days business chiefly remarkable for
the WEAKNESS Of "watchful waiting" I
have taken in the substance Of that ar
ticle, digested it, and am prepared TO say
lament" My notion of the plain duty Of
every one Of us henceforth until Novem-
opportunity of exercising what has been
fifty described as
"A weapon that comes down as still
AS snowfakes fall upon the sod,
But executes u freeman's will
AS lightning does the will Of God"
to constitute himself an independent "ac-
celerator." and to speak out according
to his honest personal convictions, ac-
cordng to his lights.
That is Mr.. Wilson's way; let US then
follow his example. both in talk TO our
fellow men and through our rightful
mouthpiece. the press. Let US not worry
about our style OF the figure we may cut
in so expressing ourselves. but let US
speak frankly and to the point. Our fore-
fathers boosted not of their style" nor
did they, fancy, trouble much over the
figures they cut But they got there with
both feet in what the powers that were
then were moved to term rebellion
but which history has correctly denon-
mated revolution"
What we want is reyoluton--a olood-
less revolution. but none the less revo-
luton that will get politics on the rum
with business as q close accelerator.
Looking up business" in the dictionary
I find II described as that which en-
cages the time, attention or labor OF any
one" Doesn't that sufficiently indicate
the relationship Of labor TO business and
the dependence OF one upon the other?
Should not the obtruslon OF politics upon
the conipanionship OF labor and business
result somewhat az is commonly said 20
be likely OF interference between an Irish
man and his wife? j. W. II.

SOME MILITANT QUERIES
A Suffrsgist Points to the Conditions
Which Have Caused Violence.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: On Sunday, June IA, The Tribune
printed a list OF the outrages perpetrated
by the militants in England. This list was
so horrifying that, taken at Its face value
and alone, II would rouse in every mind
a feeling OF indignation and protest that
ought only to exist toward evildoers and
cruel acts.
am sure such a paper as The Tribune
would not wish TO create this sentiment
without good grounds. May I therefore
ask you to print list covering the :ol-
lowing questions?
Why are the militants perpetrating
these outrages? What has the English
government lawfully done in retaliation?
Were the militsnts the first often iers?
II not, what did the English government
permit it's officers TO do and why?
Has the English government dealt far
ly and honorably with its women II net,
why does 1t plead for sympathy7 II it
has, why does II not print a full and com
prehensive statement Of its position. It's
lawful defence OF order and it's good Will
TO its subjects?
Surely. II the world at large Is TO ps
educated regarding the mllitants. 1t should
insist upon enlightenment upon the other
side OF the question. No honest person
should read that column In The Tribune
OF June II without demanding the rest VI

militancy possible. II. T. C..

DELICATESSEN AND DIVORCE
Kind Words Are Addressed to the
American Wife.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: 1t is disappointing that some
American man has not risen TO the de-
fence of our American women against the
attack by DR.. Cadman in The Sunday
Tribune.
First, our divorce courts are not
"clogged": second. the patronizng OF deli
cstessen shops has never been a cause for
divorce; and third, our wives do not
reglect their household duties.
Our delicatessen shops are supplied with
over fifty-seven varieties OF food products
by the most reliable manufacturers in the
world. These foods are prepared mostly
by women. each skilled in the preparation
OF her specialties. with the best facilities
and supplied with the best materials.
These products are as good as or better
than any housewife can produce with her
OF binary facilities and are quite as good as
those found on the free lunch counter OF
the saloon. which is patronized entirely
by men.

natural that they should be there to help the I'M
fortunate women sent to 1.-THE Island and that
they should be able to do the work better than
men, DR.. Daviss experience at Bedford showed
the value of women workers with their own SEX
These women will be paid by an organization OIL
private citizens. Since that is the only way, before
the next budget is adopted, it is perhaps good
thing for the city that its citizens are generous.
But it is to be hoped that their work will be
striking enough to convince the holders OF the
pursestrings that the city should pay for its own
employees

Dodging Responsibility for the Apology to
Colombia.

Secretary Bryan must have been hard pushed for
q defence when he told the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations that the AFFECT apology made TO
Colombia I'm the pending Thompson Bryan treaty
was "a legacy from the Taft administration The
State Department under Mr. Bryan's management
has not hesitated 20 reverse the policy OF the Taft
administration whenever and wherever 1t felt like
reversing it, 1t has held itself perfectly free to
repudlate any inconvenient legacy" from the pre-
ceding administration
Moreover there is nothing in the abortive nego
tations between Minister Dubois and Senior Ur-
rutia in 1913 which commits the United States
10 any such sweeping apology as is contained in
the preamble for the new treaty with Colombia
The only regret expressed concerned the loss TO
Colombia OF its reversionary rights In the Panama
railroad-rights which the United States extin-
cuished when they passed TO the Republic Of Pan
anna through the revolution OF 1908. Mr.. Dubois
offered 10 submit 10 arbitration the question of
COMPENSATION for their loss. 3ut that arbitration
was 10 be conditioned on the ratification by Colon
bia Of the tripartite treaty Of 1909 in which the
United States accepted no exclusive responsibility
for the rupture with Colombia and neither asked
for nor accepted Colomba's pardon.

NoNsENSIcAL EVOLUTION!
II Is Called Superstition and Scien-
tifc Fairy Story.

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: A correspondent recently said in
The Tribune. "Superstitions are the worst
form of barbarism." We'll, how about
that nonsensical superstition called evo-
tuition with its absurd dogma, natural
selection is the origin of species?
Evolution is a mere theory that never
has been proved. The fables Of an
tiquity do not tax ones credulity to the
extent that this modern scientific fairy
story does.
Scientists claim to believe nothing but
facts; but why do they romance so much
when they try TO elucidate these facts?
Why doesn't some "Worshipper-of- Him
self-and-of- Nature" create little uni
verse OF his own? Upon completing his
stupendous task he could proclaim him
self a god and be the queen bee in his own
hive.
Wouldn't 1t be great? G. +. b.
