The Tragedy of Two Eggs.

The supporters Of Miss Becky Edelson VIII nn'
doubtedly he able to prove that eggs are not food
After the mental achievement involved in some Of
their theories this little thesis will hardly give
them vigorous debate
Unfortunately however. by succumbng to the
lure of two eggs-or to be accurate the whites OF
two eggs-Miss Edelson has aroused an enemy OF
the hunger strike almost certainly faa to its sue
cess. Not the clamor Of an empty stomach! That
may yet be overcome. But who can overcome the
widening smile which greets the comic spirit when
it enters the halls of martyrdom:
1t makes no difference that tragedy has presided
ar other hunger strikes. Comedy is always at the
elbow of tragedy. and woe TO the tragedienne WHO
makes slip and starts chuckles when there should
be sobs Miss Becky made that slip. For n bare
moment she forgot the demands of her part Her
halo vanished. 1t is now her tragedy that she
might as well order handsome omelet and call
the strike off.

IN DEFENCE OF HAYTI
Correspondent Speaks of Grossly
Exaggerated Press Campaign"
Against Her.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Being very close to the polit-
zeal and general situations in Hayti
and having been in intimate business
relations with that little black repub-
lie for the last six years | have fol-
owed with interest the recent activity
OF the press directed against her.
From the viewpoint Of people ac-
quainted with conditions az they have
existed in Hayti during the recent past.
and familiar with her resources, her
railroads, harbor facilities, her COM
merce and agriculture, and especially
the character of her population, it
seems but obvious that this press cam
paign is grossly exaggerated. utterly
unjust and designed to remedy the UNI
fortunate outcome of certain enter
prises, brought on by mismanagement
and waste. for which the Haytian gov
eminent can in no way be held respon-
siblc. The blame for this attaches
solely to those parties who about four
years ago entered that republic for
the purpose of building railroad
without having an accurate survey Of
all local and Typographical conditions
made previously. In other words, as
il has been expressed TO the writer in
person. "if those niggers will not do ms
we want them to do we will whip
them into obedience. and Washington
will .tand behind us"
Hsyti will always welcome the de-
ye!opment of her great natural re-
sources, but after granting concessions
n good faith 20 foreign citizens or sub
jects she will not allow those foreign
citizens OF subjects, under the flags of
their respective governments, to enter
upon a campaign of plumber against
her government and place her citizens
in their pay for the purpose of helping
them by means OF civil warfare.
AS will be readily seen from recent
press reports, Hayti is fully able to
suppregs any revolt against her gov
errment and to take care of herself.
and the present newspaper campaign
directed against her is not founded
uDon facts, is utterly unjust and cal
culated 20 infame the public mind
against her. ). L.

Texas Speaks Its Mind on Wilson.

The result Of the Democratic primary in Texas
is anything but comforting 10 the Wilson admins.
iratlon. a strong Wilson leader, Thomas H. Ball.
backed by Endorsements from Mr.. Wilson himself.
from Secretary Bryan and from Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson, has been beaten for the nomination
for Governor by friend and follower OF Champ
Clark
Mr. Wilson carried the Texas primaries in the
spring of 1912 breaking the power OF the old Bailey
machine. Most OF the politicians thereupon went
over 10 him All the federal patronage has been
in their hands and Of their number, Mr.. Bure-
son, was put into the Cabinet Yet in the first
primary since the Inauguration the Texas Demo
crafts have turned down the administration faction
by q majority estimated 81 1900.
n Is predicted that the state convention will
criticlse some Of the administrators policies We
hardly think that the present disanectioD will take
that extreme form. But any enthusiasm over the
administration viii be Of the below zero kind
Texss only reflects the feeling which Is ready 10
