Women in the Constitutional Convention.


Colonel Roosevelts dletum does not settle the
question whether women may legally sit as mem
bers OF the constitutional convention. But he pre-
sents strkingly the desirabillty and necessity for
women delegates-if they may be seated. The
value OF women's services In public office and on
official commissions and boards has long been rec
ognized 70 admit them to the debates on the
new constitutions provisions is merely extending
this recognition and obtaining truly representa-
tive body for the framing of the states organic
law The Tribune has long advocated It.
Some suffrage leaders think II would be a bad
thing to have women delegates because the con-
yention's proceedings would be dominated by In
siders cliques, political combinations and the like
and women delegates could only sit and look on
without taking part in this inside politics" That
seems bit shortsighted. If women are to take
part in governmental functions, they must take
part whether they can control or not whether they
can be Of the insiders or merely sit on the outer
edge at first Representative women have infor-
nation ana views of value in the drafting Of a
constitution. If they may contribute these
through delegates TO the convention, it would be
no more reasonable for them to decline to do so
than for a minority party to decline to take part
in the work Of the gathering 1t is to be hoped that
women will be seated as delegates and take their
full share Of the delegates privileges and respon-
sibilities

No Psychological Depression in Jobs.

In naming Henry P Keith as Collector Of In
ternal Revenue for the Brooklyn district President
Wilson has again paid his respects to the Murphy
McCooey Democrats who opposed him at Bald-
more, as he did in appointing Mr.. Mitchell, and
then Dudley Field Malone, Collector of the Port
here Mr.. Keith is Nassau County man, whose
chief claim to fame lies in the fact that he fought
for various anti-Murphy resolutions in state COM
mttee meetings and talked lot against Murphy
bossism."
Whatever sustenance Murphy and McCooey get
for their organizations these days must come from
the state authorities. There Is bare cupboard so
far as they are concerned at City Hall end the
White House. The Democratic uplift hasn't pre-
vented them from landing jobs for their henchmen
with the Workmens Compensation Commission
and the Labor Department recently. But it takes
good many small jobs to make up for the big
ones which Mayor Mitchell and President Wilson
don't give them. And the depression in Tammany
and It's Brooklyn annex isn't by any means psyche

JERSEYS Betrayal.

When undertaking was still at the height Of It's
some one Of our best little muckrakers
wrote a magazine article on New Jersey, "the
traitor state" We were reminded of it on read
ing the statement Of Or. Bolduan, chief medical
officer of the Department Of Health, that the
RovIan anti-drug act had driven the traffic IN
dope" across the Hudson River
Perhaps New Jersey is to be pited rather than
ccnsured. 1t is only natural that her reforms
should lag behind those of New York simply be-
cause the urgency in her case never comes until
afterward But while she is waking up to the
part she must play in stamping out each new evil
as it develops, New York's efforts at eradication
are TO a large extent set at naught through her
compacency.
Just now we can think OF two emphatic com
plants which New York can register with perfect
Justice against her sister state. One has TO do
with the sale Of drugs cited by Or. Bolduan,
The other concerns the sale of firearms to circum-
vent the Sullivan law. 1t is even charged that
New York dealers, in selling pistols to customers
biity Of detection and punishment by mailing or
expressing them from New Jersey.
1t used to be the granting Of charters to
watered trusts and of marriage certificates to ir-
responsible couples against which New York pro
tested in vain. New Jersey has finally remcdied
these abuses May we not hope that we shall
soon find her cooperating IN the effort to stamp
out the twin vices of drug taking and gun
fighting?

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS
He Considers 1t Better Test of Its
Operation Than Names Example.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune in its recent edi-
torial, Prohibitions Weak Spot" IN
referring to Maine as "a classic ex-
ample of the failure Of statewide
prohibition" overlooks the fact,
which cannot fairly be left out of
any discussion of prohibition, that
no prohibitory law, whether state or
local, ever had a fair chance until
the passage Of the Webb law, and
even then not until the state enacted
legislation to fit into the Webb law.
why doesn't The Tribune go into
the figures from Kansas, and the
statements made by the recent Gov.
ernors and other public officials OF
that state? We believe The Tribune
wants to be fair, but it is not fair
to pick one state out of nine when 9TH
ers would tell different story.

WORKINGS OF PROHIBITION
This Correspondent Not So Sure 1t Is
Popular OF Successful.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is an old Latin saying
that "when . man has a erOtchet in his
brain it is difficult for him TO see
Things to which he objects in the right
light, or to state the other side cor
rectly." This may apply to your corr
respondent, c. p. Dietz.
He objects TO your editorial state
mcnt of fact 70 the effect that "Maine
is the classic example of the failure
of statewide prohibition"
If, after sixty years, prohibition had
been such success in Maine, how IS
1t that when the people of that state
had an opportunity to pass on II IN
1911 the vote was almost equally dl-
vided?
Mr.. Dietz makes the old and mislead-
ing remark about more than three
fcurths of the United States as being
dry territory-a remark which might
be interesting if true. But even the So
called dry territory is not dry, nor
would it be dry if the people could not
obtain all the liquor they wanted from
other places.
Again, it is an old dodge to count
every one in no-license territory as IN
favor Of prohibition. His other re-
mark that "twenty-seven Of our states
cut OF a necessary thirty-six have voted
to enact a prohibition clause in our
rational Constitution" must be taken
with a grain Of salt. Nr. Dietz should
learn TO state the other side cor
rectly." ]. A. P. KELLY.

The Parson as a Divorce Juror.

Who was it who said in effect that love was
made in heaven and marriage earth? For
some reason we are reminded Of the remark on
reading little dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, which
says that the Rev. j. f. Edens, known as Atlanta S
marrying parson, has been serving as juror in
divorce cases, and in two days has aided in grant
ing seventy divorces, many Of them TO couples
whom he himself united in wedlock.
We should enjoy knowing Mr.. Edens just to
discuss with him the subject Of matrimony. for
we know of no who has tied and at the same
time united so many matrimonial knots. His
should be a profound philosophy ON the general
expediency aud utility of the marriage tie Would
he advocate trial marriages, we wonder, or will
he i'm the future more selective that those
whom he joins may not be so easily partedl

Sir: find the subjoined in The

"The Pail Mall Gazette" founded in

Sir Edward Carson's Secession Speech.

In his speech at the BOyne celebration Sir
Edward Carson, "the uncrowned king Of Ulster,
went little further than he bad ever gone be-
fore His contention formerly was that the
Covenanters were absolutely loyal to the King and
the constitution and that they only struggling

crown and the British government. But now that
a provisional Ulster government has been set up
Sir Edward has begun to suggest that his primary,
~ not his exclusive, allegiance is to it. 81 tell
the British government" he said at Drumbeg, that
in very short time, unless they are prepared to
leave us alone, we will recognize the provisional
government and no other government Again he
hurled this threat at the King and Parliament: 81
saw give us a clean cut-out Of Home Rule for
Ulster or come and fight us
II is all right for Sir Edward 10 exert all the
moral pressure possible to influence the action of
Parliament His opponents charge him with having
conducted mastery campaign of blum. That sort
OF campaign is justifabe. But II is going beyond
the bounds of constitutional remonstrance and agi-
tation to give warning that a local government
will be set up In opposition to the government Of
the United Kingdom and to urge Ulstermen to as
sert their WILL regardless Of the consequences 10
the King or the British constitution. That is a
virtual reputation Of British sovereignty and a
declaration of listers political independence.
Sir Edward Carsons defiance will be highly EN-
barrassing to the Unionist leaders in the House
of Lords who are now making sincere effort 70
amend the Home Rule act as TO pacify the
Coyenanters These leaders recognize the SOW
ereignty Of Parliament and want to exempt Ulster
or some Of it-from the provisions of the Home
Rule act by constitutional methods. They will
work ut a disadvantage if it is known that Ulster
is ready to defy Parliament in case the maximum
concessions are not granted The Unionist party
cannot afford to condone an attitude of open re-
bellion, much as ii may deplore the inclusion OF
Ulster TO any extent in scheme of local self
government Tor Ireland The leader of the Cove

well as at political enemies when he proclaims
that listers first duty is to its own provisional
government.
