Prohibitions Weak Spot.

1t is. of course, the height Of folly to argue
against prohibition the ground that the liquor
habit is not a deplorable scourgc. 1t is that and
more as ono Of the most eloquent documents on
the subject, penned by the prisoners Of the East
ern Penitentiary Pennsylvania, attests. In an
entirely voluntary petition 20 per cent OF the
1913 convicts in this penitentiary blame their
downfall on alcohol and call upon the next Penn
syvania Legislature TO enact statewide prohibi-
ton. Perhaps never before has the drink evil
received more emphatic and convincing CON
domination.
But willie there can hardly he two opinions
about the curse Of rum, there can he and is n
very decided difference Of opinion about the rem
edy The whole subject Of excise legislation IS
remarkably intricate one, but if there is one
lesson from past experience which seems more
clearly defined than any other it is that stat >
wide prohibition does not prohibit
Maine is the classic example Of the failure Of
statewide prohibition. There for over genera.
ton visitors have exclaimed over the public spec
taclcs OF drunkenness practically unrivallcd else
where The explanation is simple enough The
prohibitOry law has made it not impossible but
difficult and little dangerous to get liquor there.
The tippler gets IT, therefore less frequently, but
when he does get 1t 1t Is in larger quantity and
Of a quolty little short Of pure poison. And he
Is tempted TO drink it Ill at sitting.
The Illicit liquor traffic in Maine is confined al
most entirely to the larger cities aud towns be-.
cause they offer greater opportunity Of hiding it.
Hut Maine has an urban population many times
smaller than that Of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania
would undoubtedly find her problem Of prohibition
enforcement just as many times greater. Her
failure, in other words, would make Names look

Vocational Training in Operation.

The ga gerness with which young girls who must
turn from school TO work have sought to enter the
technical training classes being conducted by the
Educational Alliance and some teachers from the
Board Of Education should spur on the authori-
ties to complete plans for enlarging the ctys vo-
cational training facilities. These classes do not
offer great deal in the way of vocation training.
They give six weeks instruction for 100 girls in
hand sewing, machine operating, bow making,
flower making and millinery. But that instruction
will enable the girls to earn perhaps So more a
week than they could without it. so more than
twice as many as could be accommodated applied
for admission to the classes.
This city takes great pride in its schools and
spends great sums on them. Yet its educational
system is lamentably weak the side Of prac-
teal. bread-and butter education That is the
kind which thousands OF the pupils need and
cannot get Until the city has more vocational
training schools and gives far greater attention TO
that branch of its work, as Mayor Mitchell is en-
deavOrng TO have it do, its educational system
will he faulty.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Anybody who has observed the
course Of action Of tho Mexican rebel
leaders in fact. anybody with common
sense must know that if the northern
rebels patch up their differences it Will
only be for eNpcdienoy's sake. and that
the appearance Of harmony will hardly

rival ambitions have led them into

result j. they get full control Of ;he
whole Of Mexico Anarchy as sure as
fate. Each rebel chieftain will think
that he and he alone was responsible
for the success of the revolution, and If
the big plums do not fall to his lot he
will stake out the part of the country
where his personal following is largest
and rcvolute all over again.
This has always been the fatal weak
ness OF Mexican revolutions, and the
recent rebel discord is but fash in

A Plea for Political Responsibility in

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Will you permit me- in your
columns TO quote from remarkable
sermon published in 1901 by John White
Chadwick. OF Brooklyn? The sermon
was called The New Nomanhood. "
The text was:

and let her works praise her in the
gates"
The entire sermon. like John Stuart

all there is 10 say on the woman qucs-
ton and leaves the platitudes pitt
fully weak that we lesser ones utter.

anti-sufirage stand that women should
be known only through their men;

manly thing for men TO permit women
to shirk responsibility.
