THE WAY 1T is LOOKED AT

\ proposal to erect a statue Of George Washington in Westminster
Abbey has called forth a stormy protest from the British press. Some
OF the papers denuuncc him as the vlest traitor the world has ever
produced and mention him as an "arch conspirator' and vile DICTATOR
whose foul treachery' and brutality" etc. caused a lot of things to
happen. 1t is evident that the opinions OF Washington differ some
what from the views held in the United States IN the sam question.
1t is all due to the angle iron which things are looked at 1t all

ABOUT UNEDUCATED WOMEN
Grant Female Suffrage and Their
Number viii Dwindle.
Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Rose II. Phelps. of Connecticut
in yesterdays Tribune says, in speak
ing of anti-suffragists: But the one
thing in which we all agree is this:
In our Eastern states. with our
large foreign and uneducated popula-
ton, whore the votes Of the intelligent
women would be greatly outnumbered
by the unintelligent ones, we do not
believe that woman suffrage would be
of any benefit whatever"
Can it be possible that the "unin-
telllgent women greatly outnumber
the intelligent women? If SO. T. is
time the women be given the vote, so
that they may elect men to Office who
will bring the standard of intelligence
OF woman up 70 that of man. As
remember, 7.6 per cent OF the popula-
ton OF Connecticut is illiterate; only
half this percentage l. illiteratc in
Colorado. where women have voted for
twenty years.
Outside of the Eastern states, at
least, the foreign and uneducated per
ccntagc is very small. and this class
does not take any interest in good gov
eminent or bad. The foreign born
women do not become naturalized and
vote as the men do, and the great nd
vantage is in the fact that the intelli-
gent woman vote much more than Oft

CONSIDERS T. r. RIGHT
Whitman Has Shown Himself To Be
Unfit, He Says.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There is much evidence that
the coming election will be live and
interesting one. In fact. anything the
doughty Colonel is connected with has
but little opportunity to hibernate
His recent publication of the Whitman
letters and the ethics contained there
in certainly tend to support my state
ment just made. g,
That Mr.. Roosevelt Is right fully

action in the last campaign lends sup
port. TO the Coloners Characterization
of him. At that time the defeat OF
Tammany and all it stood for was the
hope and the desire OF all right-m
citizens. Mitchell was chosen BY the
fusion committee to head the ticket
for the indignant citizens OF this me-
tropolis. Immediately Mr. Whitman
sulked like a child. He. TO spite the
fusionists for not being put at the
head Of the ticket, accepted nomlna-
ton from Tammany, thereby taking
away the most deadly ammunition, the
police issue, and securing the election
for himself II may be unjust to him
TO say that in his heart of hearts he
desired the defeat OF the citizens
ticket. To be sure, his later conduct IN
the campaign certainly strengthened
this suspicion. At Mitchell rally he
eulogized Mr.. Mccall, the Tammany
candidate. 70 the skies. The audience
was so puzzled that it was unable to
say whether the meeting was under
fusion or Tammany auspices. Were II
not for the Sulzer episode and the
noble work done BY Mr. Hennessy IN
that election Tammany would have
been victorious So much for the po-
litical action Of Mr.. Whitman in the
fusion campaign.
His reputation of Mr.. Duell, ir.,
stamps him as undesirable for Gov
ernor. Mr.. DUEL did all he could TO
get Progressive support for Mr. Whit
man. All the New York papers printed
his activities in that line. Everybody
in this city, it seems, was aware OF Mr..
Duell's different meetings with Mr..
Roosevelt Everybody except Mr.. Whit
man, who was most interested. For a
month and "A half, while the negotla-
tons were being carried on, Mr.. Whit
man kept the silence OF Sphinx. But
when the negotiations had failed the
District Attorney at once repudiated
Mr.. Ducll. If Mr.. Whitman was ur-
aware Of what Mr.. Duell was doing
surely his calibre is not that of which
Governors are made. If he WAS aware
of MIR. Duel's activity he deserves the
condemnation of all citizens. irrespec
tive of party. who believe in loyalty
and faithfulness TO their friends.
Mr.. Roosevelt deserves the highest
credit for the publication of the let
tiers; he has given. the citizens of the
Empire State better and clearer in
sight into the character Of Mr. Whit
man than weeks OF campaigning could
have done. HARRY |. CHIERT.

Window Dressing for Murphy.

The Democratic upft has come to griel III 'he
dsanection and probable resignation of several
members of state Chairman OSborn's advisory
committee This is a body made up of eminent!
Democrats with good looking names,
Some of them have just realized that their only
function is to serve as window dressing for the
state committee which Tammany controls. ana
that in any affair like the recent Knickerbocker
Hotel conference or the impending Saratoga con
ference Tammany does the business while they
sit around and feel unhappy.
Sooner or later Democratic uplifters always
discover this. Then they quit being Democrats
or brand themselves straight out as "anti-Iam-
many Democrats" which amounts 10 the same
thing since it Oblges them TO vote some ticket other
than the Democratic nine times out of ten Mur-

the worthy gentlemen who joined the uplift move
ment but it's the fact They are window dressing
for Murphy so long as they take part In any
movement in which Murphy also has Il part The
only way they can really uplift their party is to

Prohibition and Temperance.

We are aware. Of course. that the title Of this
article is going to bring down upon us the wrath
Of our prohibition friends, who vocierously main
tain in their omniscient way that prohibition is
temperance or the other way around-just as you
please. But then they have been jumping on rs
for mildly intimating the other day that really,
when you come down 10 it, prohibition doesn't
always prohibit so little more criticism doesn't
very much matter.
We note with interest that Mr.. William II. An
dersou the Anti-Saloon League leader in this
state, answers our intimation that prohibition is
not strictly enforced in Maine by declaring that
once when he was in that state he saw little or
no evidence Of liquor selling. Naturally not; the
"bootesgcrs" Of the Pine Tree State are not fools
They had Mr. Andcrson's number the moment he
entered the state and we have no doubt that they
carefully arranged conditions so that the most
arid kind Of aridity met him at every step Of his
progress. He is altogether too modest and limo
cent II he falls TO realize that the rum demon
keeps tabs on him wherever he goes
Mr. Anderson also wants 10 know why we don't
give the facts relative to prohibition in Kansas.
Well. what are the facts? In recent article Mr..
White, OF Empora, declared that prohibition had
made Kansas over INTO a sort OF heaven on earth.
II had done away with poverty, sickness, insanity
and vice, and the people living in dyllic and
Edcnic happiness.
Mr. Whites thrilling word pictures impressed
US. as they always do, and we felt almost inclined
to admit that prohibition had won the count" Bu

WOMEN MAY BE DELEGATES
Mrs. Batch Points Out Lack Of Re.
striction in the Constitution.
20 the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: As The Tribune truly says in
its editorial OF July Il, Colonel
Roosevelts dictum does not settle the
question whether women may legally
sit as members of the constitutions
convention" But nevertheless the
question is settled by a higher author
ity. is it not?
Under Section > Of Article XIV Of
the constitution the calling and forma-
ton of a constitutional convention 8
provided for. The provision reads:
THE electors Of every Senate district
of the state. as then organized, shall
elect three delegates at the next ensu-
ing general election" etc. There Is no
qualification here nor anywhere
throughout the section of the word
delegate" Under the constitution
there Is no doubt women could serve
in the convention.
This clear constitutional right could
have been put in temporary jeopardy
had the legislative act dealing with
the details of nominating and elect.ng
delegates introduced some qualiiica-
ton. Il was with the idea OF detect
ing any such provision that the bills
dealing with the constitutional con-
vention OF 1915 were most carefully
scrutinized by sufraglsts at Albany.
The McClelland bill, which finally be-
came law, followed the lines OF the
constitution and did not require dele
gates TO be electors. In the contrast 10
this measure, the Salant bill intro
duced by the sole representative OF the
Progressive party in the Senate, Sen
ator Salant, limited TO electors the
right to serve as delegates IN the
constitutional convention. The at
tention Of women IN the Progressive
party was called to this. but they APP
parently did not pursue the matter ana
the Saant bill remained unamended
In the same editorial in The Tribune
dealing with women as delegates
occurs this statement: "Some suffrage
leaders think il would be Il bad thing
TO have women delegates, because the
conventions proceedings would be
dominated by insiders, cliques. pollti--
cal combinations and the like. and
women delegates could only SIT ana
look on without taking part in this
inside politics.

il would be in all the contentious ques-
tons OF the convention. could AID the
suffrage mission to that convention
and increase the chances OF winning
the referendum in November, 1910.
Fortunately, in 1914, AS in 1912, the
vast majority OF suffragists are stick
ing 10 the main campaign. and are re-
fusing to have their money, time or
energy diverted TO laying siege TO

den on our army.
