mosphere Of pessimistic anxiety en-

today over the possible fate of Villa

This Republican Declares That the

di;ion that Roosevelt is TO be absolutely
eliminated as a possible candidate.
The assumption that boss rule alone
was the cause Of the defeat ~ the Re

ranted The $4,000 men who remained

Republicans will never again stand for

Appointments of Doubtful Merit.

board has sought to make its selections without
regard to politics. but with an eye single 10 get the
fttest men possible" 1t is possible that this object
has been attained but it is certain that the selection
was not made without political influence bearing
an important part. Prominent among the appolnteeS
are George w. Batten, Democratic state Com
mitteeman and chronic oficeholder; Patrick A.
Whitney former Correction Commissioner OF this
city. organization Democrat; Thomas J. brennan,
McCooey Democrat Of Brooklyn, formerly sec
rotary Of the Board Of Assessors, who lost his job
when Mayor Mitchell took Office.
Most OF the other appointees are organized labor
leaders. OF the ten. the only man generally known
to have any extensive knowledge OF workmen
compensation in theory operation is Cyrus W.
Phillips. Republican Assemblyman, who has spe-
calized on the subject in his legislative career.
These appontees may do good work. But the his
tory of the Labor Department in recent years, which
has been loaded with political hangers-on and labor
union graduates with less political influence,
does not yield great deal Of hope. 1t would be
sngularly unfortunate II the application of the com
pensaton law the most liberal in the country should
be handicapped by the appointment of improper men
to enforce It,

The Courts on the Bird Law.

Through decision of Judge Trieber in the United
States District Court at Jonesboro, Ark, that
the migratory bird law is unconstitutional. a Pc
culiar situation to its enforcement exists. This
decision is binding only in the district where ii was
rendered Another federal judge, Judge Elliot in
the district court at Sioux Falls, S D., last
month held that the law constitutional. Thus
in that district and all the districts in which it has
not been challenged, the law will be enforced, but
will not be enforceable in the Arkansas district.
Manfestly 1t Is extremely desirable that the issue
he taken before the Supreme Court as speedily as
possible While the constitutionaity Of the act is
questioned, 1t is in this state by Attorney General
Carmody, and elsewhere by state authorities and
mean-spirited sportsmen who fear it will interfere
with their local shooting, it will be impossible to
afford the desired protection to the game birds,
Songsters and insect eaters within the laws scope.
II the law is not constitutional and not enforceable
the sooner that is learned the better for the birds
and the public, for some other measure will take
its place.

he expressed the fear that lynchings might result
from further suffragette outrages Ihat, lndeeo'
would prove the charge that John Bull, stod, slow

sidered grave crisis, however provoking situa-

TO have your masterpieces of art ruined, TO
have your windows smashed and your buildings
burned to have your ministers assaulted and your
king insued are not occurrences calculated to pro-
mote philosophical calm under the best OF cir
cumstances but particularly when the perpetrators
elude the punishment you are so able and willing to
mete out through such feminine subterfuges as
hunger strikes and the exhibition Of defcnceless
frailty 1t Is absurd to suggest that nation which
shrinks from seeing its women law breakers die

THE WOMEN OF COLORADO
What They Did and What They Did
Not Do

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Annie Riley Hale, Alice Edith
Abel, Everett p. Wheeler, ct al, see In
the labor war in Colorado strong arcu-
ment against woman suffrage. Nothing
happens under the heavens that is not an
indsputable argument against woman
suffrage. according 10 these students OF
the universe, and the bearing they believe
this question has on natures laws, and
every other law. human or divine.
Following their reasoning, conditions in
Colorado afford a far stronger argument
against man suffrage, for the men were
intrusted with the Offices and many be
trayed the trust; following their premise
further. conditions in that commonwealth
are an indictment of popular government
they are even an indictment of the ChriS-
tan religion itself, which has made De-
ocratic or representative government pos
sble. But in the face of these conditions
and admissions, is any person brave
enough TO suggest DISTINGUISHING the men
of Colorado? Who has anything better
TO offer than government Of for and by
the people, even though that form or
government seems TO have failed lament
ably in Las Animas and Huerfano coun-
ties? Who can afford to steel his or her
heart against the Sermon on the Mount,
though pharisees and hypocrites profess
Christianity and though prominent Chris
tians are principals In the labor war?
From anything We have been able TO
learn so far the women OF Colorado do
not stand convicted of failure in the use
OF the franchise The laws OF that state
are among the most humane and ad-
vanced TO he found on any statute books
in the world. Even the demands over
which the strikers are conducting little
priyate war called strike, are moor
porated in the law of the land. The trou-
bic has arisen because certain privileged
individuals decided to hout the law, and
the tools they selected to help them were
men, not women There are no women
in the Legislature from either OF the
counties in revolt No woman holds the
Office OF District Attorney or any of the
judgeships. No woman is numbered
among the sheriffs and marshals ener-
Cetic in the service of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company; no woman rushed to
enlist even at $40 day. with the thugs
and sharpshooters masqueradng as mill
tia, and remember that II was men, not
women, who fred the tents at Ludlow in
