The hesitation OF Jerseymen over the
Hudson River bridge and tunnel prof.
ects is based on experience. The effect
of new means OF communication Is al
ways to bring added population to the
New Jersey suburban" area, but there
can be little doubt that retail business
is diverted from the local centres to
the New York shopping district. The
tubes now in operation have practically
killed all business in the nearby towns
and cities against which our depart
ment stores offer competition. Only
Newark has any hope of holding It's
own In the struggle. However. there
are larger interests at stake than local
retail trade. Horse and motor borne
trade between New York and New Jer-
sey is fast outstripping the ferry ia
cilities. and as ferry foot passengers
have become few and are not likely 10
increase, there Is small hope OF moro
boat lines being established or the SER
vice improved on those now In COM

across the river must therefore be pro-
vided at an early day or the commerce
between the States will be seriously
hindered.

he continued, Sisyphus lived longer

MILTTANCY.
Why II Has Deen Necessary To Resort TO
II I'm England.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir: As
an Englishman / reply TO the query of
"Perplexed American" whose calm and
intelligent summary of the militant ques-
ton is welcome relief from the acr-
monious correspondence this subject gem
orally evokes.
1t can, think, be truly said that forty
years of peaceful striving for the vote In
England brought the women no results.
and that the question was never in the
forefront OF politics until the adoption
OF militant tactics. however severe
commentary that may be both on Govern
ments and the general public.
Then Il Is known TO American readers
how consistently the present Prime Min
lister has refused to receive Populations
of women. an attitude no would not care
to adopt with men.
Third, large numbers OF cases OF brutal
treatment Of women at meetings and else
where. prior to all militancy. have been
testified to In court by reliable witnesses.
These were never reported by the daily
press. which. however, has never failed to
describe In detail every outrage COM
mitted by the women. without doing any
justice to the thousands OF meetings held
and wide educational propaganda carried
on by them.
Lastly, and very important. any student
OF English history will confirm how the
great reform bills OF 1882 and 1867 failed
To compel serious attention In Parliament
until the adoption OF militant methods by
men beside whose performances those OF
the women pale into nsignihcarce.
All these are facts which any one may
verify, but as your correspondent very
truly points out. the larger question of
right must decide this issue finally.
1t Is dfficult for the American to I'M
derstand the English mind. which from
the highest to the lowest regards and
treats women as inferior beings. but all
the same the general question OF right
will have to be answered In due course
In some manner which will permanently
relieve the present intolerable situation
In England.
That the question has been answered
favorably 10 the women in this country.
