Waiting for Something to Turn "

II is not surprising that apprehensons OF un"ei

Picking a Man by His Points.

One Of the latest schemes for reducing the rude
ways of human existence to system is the plan
Of Dr. Katherine NJ. II. Blackford for rating the
worth Of employees. Good sense cannot be weighed
in milligrammes nor financial ability measured in
cubic centimetres, this expert comedies But she
has elaborated system Of classifying characteris
tics by which she considers that the round peg in
the square hole will be avoided and general fitness
for assigned work be improved.
The weakness OF this latest system will appeal
to every one who has tackled the problem of hiring
men. Humans are altogether too much like dogs
in this regard. specimen Of the latter breed
may have all the points and be entitled to all the
blue ribbons at show, and yet be a chump of a
dog, afraid of his shadow and not worth dog bis

The Restoration OF Morningside.

More power to The elbow of Mr. Ward in his pur-
pose to restore the beauties Of Morningsde! There
is no park of comparable importance in the city
which has fallen into bad disrepair, and there Is
none which better deserves being brought to ana
kept In the most perfect possible condition Mr.
Slower is said to have realized these facts and to
have desired to act upon them but to have been
unable to get the money. Let us hope that Com
missioner exempt from his predecessors idioSyncra
sizes will be more successful.
1t is, Of course, recognized by Mr.. Ward, and 1t
should also be by the public, that Morningslde Is
almost unique among our parks in being largely
scenic rather than useful place Of resort There
is considerable area which may be frequented by
the public. But that is subordnated to the steep
slopes and cliffs which form the chief feature of the
park and constitute its real reason for existence
AS picturesque landscape and as a scenic fore
ground for the stately edifces which crown the
cliffs 1t is priceless
That is the conception Of 1t in which doubtless
Mr. Ward will proceed with its rehabilitation and
in that same spirit the public should cooperate with
the Park Department In its preservation.

THE CIVIC FORUM DEBATE
How the Battle Went in the Eyes of a
Suffragist.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
y Sir: AS one who was present at the
Civic Forum meeting at Carnegie Hall
allow me to give true version Of what
passed. AS regards the Kissing: This is
always deplorable and i'll bred, no matter
what the provocation may be. The provo
cation was very strong last night. Had
the speakers dared to gibe at men RS they
gibed at women. their voices would have
been drowned In a storm of yells boos
and catcalls. However that may be, II
was regrettable that some OF the men and
women In last nights audience showed
their disgust by Kissing the salacious dis
course OF Everett Wheeler. followed by
the insolence of Mr. Underhill. OF Massa-
chusetts.
Both OF these gentlemen prefaced their
remarks by paying admiring tribute 10
their wives and mothers-even grand
mothers In Mr.. Wheeler's case-but for
women in general they had little good to
say. Mr. Wheeler appeared to enjoy
bringing forward the question OF sex, and
rolling under his tongue much that was
revolving and wide from the point.
Mr.. Underhill. after declaring that he
owed everything TO his mother and his
wife, went on TO remark, rather euphe-
unsteady. that he'd fought men all his
life, but he couldn't fight women This
chivalrous declaration he amended by the
assertion: You know that a man never
behaves toward women as you women be-
have toward one another. You're meaner,
RASTER, moro contemplate In your con-
duct than men can ever be-"
II was this postulate that raised storm
OF protest. The speaker slared through
his spectacles and shouted: You don't
like it, but you know it's true-you know
it's true for all the world like a naughty
little boy trying TO tease the girls.
II was Mr.. Underhill who shouted"
not Mrs. Nathan; neither did she inter-
rupt the proceedings. In response TO his
challenge to the audience to name one
law IN the equal suffrage states for which
the women We're responsible Mrs. Nathan

but its inconsequence delighted the I'M

As triumphant finish to all pro-suf-

WHAT SUFFRAGE HAS DONE
A List Is Submitted in Reply to Mr..
Underhill, Of Massachusetts.


Sir: Charles /. Underhill, OF Massa-
chusetts, who supported Everett p.
Wheeler on the anti-suffrage side Of the
debate in Carnegie Hall on January Is,
asked the question, What beneficent
laws have been enacted In any suffrage
state which are not already In existence
in the male suffrage states?" I will en-
deavor to answer that question TO the
satisfaction Of Mr.. Underhll.
Much space has been given in the public
press on the discussion of using the public
schools as polling places. instead OF the
unsanitary, crowded barber shops and
laundries which the state rents at the
present time for that purpose. In Call
fornia, where women vote, the schools
are used as polling places, and the price
of rental is saved. This is one Of the in
stances in which non-suffrage state is
thinking Of following the example OF a
suffrage state.
As another instance we may point TO
the abatement and injunction law or
California In speech recently MT
Wilton, OF a committee Of fourteen, told
OF the difficulties that his committee had
met with in forcing the land owners 10
any action when told OF the existence OF
houses Of prostitution on their premises.
For years law similar to the California
abatement and Injunction law has been
talked OF by people who have the reduc-
ton OF the present disgraceful conditions
az heart, but nothing has been done. The
law which has been passed In the suffrage
State OF California checks commercialized
vice by placing the penalty on the owner
Of property used for prostitution.
Another law has also been passed in
California which is not on the statutes OF
any non-suffrage state. namely, an inter-
county while slave" law. similar TO the
Mann white slave" law, which applies 10
interstate traffic only This is also pow
erful weapon In the fight against COM
mercialized vice. We might also refer
Mr.. Underhill to the statistics which were
published recently by the Womens Po-
litical Union, which summed UP the aver
age age Of consent. the average hours or
work, etc, In the suffrage states and In
the non-suffrage states, from whicn
statistics il was clearly shown that the
protection OF children was more favor
able in the suffrage than in the non-suf-
frage states.
No doubt many other laws could be
cited. but as Mr.. Underhill only asked
for one instance and We have furnished
several. Il seems unnecessary.

Dismissed Policemen Should Stay Dis
missed.

Whether or not Mayor Mitchell obtains Colonel
Goehals head of the citys police force the egs-
lstion intended to make dismissal Of policeman
easier should be passed. The present difficulty OF
dismissal has been one Of the things sustaining the
police system" 1t has prevented discipline in the
department 1t has been a handicap TO every Com
missioner seeking to improve conditions and a bull
wark and comfort to each shrker and CRATER in uni
form.
1t is true that there have been comparatively few
policemen restored TO service by court procedure
That is no argument in favor Of the present system
have not been dismissed because Of the difficulty Of
making them stay dismissed. The shirker the
CRATER knows that it is almost impossible for the
Commissioner to get the goods on him clearly
enough 10 fire him. No corporation head would
undertake to conduct his business under such condi
lions No Police Commissioner, not even Colonel
Goethals himself could succeed here with force IN
which the malcontents knew they had the advanta ge
of him because his ability to discipline them was
limited and his power to dismiss them tied up with
red tape. The bill prepared by the city admnistra-
ton would abolish the right Of court review Of the
Commissioners decisions on a writ Of certiorar!,
abolish the technicalies of the trials and permit
toration to dismissed policeman of his payments to
the pension fund No honest, conscientious police
man has any reason TO object to IT. 1t should 60
the statute books In spite Of the objections of the
other kind.
