Rain When There Is No Rain.

A reasonably good baseball afternoon was Tues
day Of this week. The diamond at the Polo Grounds
may not have been thick with dust, but 1t was not
wet at any rate The air mild, and not a drop
of rain fell. Yet Mr. Frank Chance called off the
scheduled game because OF wet grounds, fear that
the players would lnjure themselves on slippery
field, etc
There were not very many fans disappointed by
this quitting, needless to say. Had there been
handsome crowd at the gates the game would prob
ably have been played But there was respectable
number Of the faithful who had travelled up trust

And they were turned away disgrunted and pro

sample of the spirit in which the great leagues are
fighting. the they quit the better for the
sport and the public.

A KINDERGARTEN OF SUFFRAGE
Mrs. John Martin Is Called Feminist
and a Creator of Suffrage Converts.
To the Editor OF The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Mrs Pankhurst once comforted a
worried follower by telling her that the
anti suffrage society IS the kindergarten
Of the suffrage association Her state
ment was not only witty but true, for
there the women learn 20 organize. be
como familiar with elementary parlia 10
mentary procedure and study political
methods. The intelligent members soon
tire OF hearing continually how silly AMI
incompetent they arc. and OF the oft
times indicate insistence on the phySi-
cal differences of sex. which have so
little 10 do with mental ability: they also
discover how helpless they are without
the ballot for they SEQ one state after
another enfranchising its women i'm spite
OF al the efforts Of the anti-suffragsts.
Thus they are prepared for the ballo;
when il comes. Then, too. they perceive
that their speakers are not unseXed by
appearing I'm public and travelling over
the country to exploit the joys Of family
life and the vital necessity that woman
should lead a cloistered existence. never
going beyond her own front door yard

The anti-suffrage speakers deserve our
thanks. for they are generally expert at
making converts for suffrage. 7 have met

need OF votes for women by the elo-
quence OF dear old DR. Lyman Abbott.
We owe special debt OF gratitude TO

THE ISSUE IN MEXICO

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: confess 1T IS difficult to see how

With tho fall Of Monterey there is little

! think the reported differences betW cen

throughout the crisis. The purport OF his

widely commented on. has been misunder-

The Highway Commission Exonerated.

IL is evident TINT The Albany County Grand Jury
has an entirely different notion OF laws crime and
criminal responsibility from that Of Mr. James W.
Osborne, formerly an Assistant District Attorney
here and rated criminal lawyer OF no mean attain

Highway Commission, Messrs Bensel Peck ana
Reel. should be indicted for highway scandals which
he estimated cost the state about million dollars
The grand jury, after having considered his report
70 Governor Glynn and much testimony found no
indictments.
II Is certain that in the time when Messrs Rcnscl.
Peck and Reel were In charge Of highway affairs
graft and scandal prevailed ln road building. Con
tractors and state employees have Deen indicted in
several counties. The case against the Highway
Commission failed, presumably, because no evidence
was obtained 10 prove the neglect Of duty and Off
