AS ONE VOTER TO ANOTHER
An ANTS" Remarks Bring a Loud
Retort.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: man. presumably a voter. who
hides behind the pseudonyme "Optmist,"
has found n great mares nest because
American women are asking equal rights
while the shrieking. riotous Amazons OF
England rely upon their sex TO save them
from paying the penalty of their crimes
II this is sample of our present voters,
il is time TO let in the puppy dogs and
billy goats.
Because a few women Shrek for JUS
tice. no woman on earth has n right TO
ask for anything: and yet men who conf
nit nearly all the crimes which amount
TO anything may ask anything and deny
women every right. This is tho kind Of
injustice that breeds milltancy.

FARM JOBS IN THE SOUTH
Work Is Continuous and the Weather
Favorable.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Most OF the unemployed are not
the kind Of men suitable for farm work.
and would cause the farmer more trouble
than they are worth The question Of only
requiring them for stated periods is also
great drawback. However. In the South.
where farm labor is very scarce and I'M
reliable. they could he employed nearly
all the year. rs We can work on winter
crops. and it IL only a day or so at a
time when we cannot work I'm the winter.
In spring. summer and fall there is con
slant work.
II is n deplorable fact that the United
states does not produce enough To feed
Itself, and that Is most true IN tho south.

Max Beerbohm and the Blurb.

The whole reading public IS not rs senstiyely
intelligent as Mr.. Max Beerbohm. SO there are
doubtless fair number of souls who can still
swallow a publishers blurb without choking. But
the tang of these wonderful encomums has long
since departed and their end is near. whole army
of readers will arise in their seats TO cheer these
Maxian words upon novels and their blurbs:
These commodities all very well in their way
no doubt. But let us have illusions to what
their way IS Tho pOuterer who sells strings OF
sausages does not pretend that every individual
sausage IS in itself remarkable. He does not assure
us that this is singularly beautiful and
human sausage" this is undoubtedly the sausage
Of the year" Why are such distinctions drawn by
the publishers?
There will be objections from both novel lovers
and sausage lovers 10 this comparison which Max
Beerbohm hourishes in the London Times The
drift Of ~ plea is sound, however, as the decline
OF the bit . itself indicates. There not two
novels Of the year to-day against all of twenty
in any season few years back.
The purple adiectiyes Of praise have forsaken
the book covers for the seXful magazines. where
they serve to preface each short story with the
heart and eizZard Of the Quivering passion. And
what more suitable home for the burb could be
conceived,

CHANCE FOR MILITIA
TO TRY WAR GAME
Citizen Soldiers Could Have Two
Weeks of Camp by Taking
Regulars Pay.

Although the state has not appropriated
money for the militia manGuvres In camp
this summer, there is a way in which the
war game may be held, according to army
officers here.
III the citizen soldiers are patriotic
enough TO serve their country" said one
officer, "let them come under the regular
army pay for the two weeks Of camp.
I'VE have $4,000 set aside for trans
portation, maintenance and pay. That
would give them the pay and food OF
regulars and pretty good training for men
who may some day have to eat such
fare I'm the field.
THE appropriation could take into the
field brigade Of infantry. regiment OF
cavalry, a regiment of artillery and va
rious signal and hospital companies.
While there might not be enough money
for the two brigades whose turn 1t is to
take the field this year. the deficit could
be charged against the government
"Of course, this is only suggestion,
and it will probably not be adopted. But
when the New York troops were In the
field two years ago with troops OF other
states, it developed that other state troops
were not paid anywhere near so highly as
New York militiamen. Many states ap-
propriate only few cents a man day
over the regular army allowance, and
their militia seem to get along"

The new building Of the Railroad

ISOLATION, at 800 Park av.. was formaly
opened last night by the committee OF
MANAGEMENT. The building is seven
stories high and cost nearly a million
dollars.
Following an informal reception A. II.
Smith. president Of the New YORK CEN
trail. made a short address in which he
asserted that the Young Mems Christian
Association helps to make good railroad
men and is a great force in keeping them
good men. Mr.. Smith was enthusiastic
in support Of President Wilson's position
an the railroad rate increase bill.
.oThe time has arrived" said Mr.. Smith,
"when the business man and the men
whom he employs should realize just
what the railroads have done for this
country and Just what II has cost them
The railroads have worked in the cause
of civilization even If they did enter the
lists as business enterprises.
They must have to-day the support OF
the thinking citizen and must not be ex-
posed to further attack by uniformed
persons The fact should be realized that
the success Of great railroad systems Is
necessary to general prosperity. because
a railroad involves a basic industrial
principle.
"The railroads are only asking for a
fair chance. Their desire is to serve the
public. IL the public will permit it."
