Playing the Game.

WV
The women of Chicago have found
out that the right to vote brings re-
sponsbiilitics and also means the sur
render Of certain privileges.
Scccral days ago strike was in
auguratcd in one of the large down
town restaurants. Tho proprietor Of
the restaurant secured an injunction
against these attempting to boycott
his place.
Women stood in frcnt-some of
them were the leaders in the suffra-
gettc movement-and urged prospec-
tive caters to forcgo sinkeis, pie and
milk In the struck restaurant and
sock these digestion destroyers in
other places.
The women net only used thoir
mouths, but they also began laying
on han Ills. One food seeker left part
of his coat in the grip of one a the
pickcters. Then followed q rot, and
the police appeared and arrested one
of the women. Other women s..tCmpt-
ed to rescue her, aru then the whole
party was arrested.
The women did not peacefully go
to the station house. Instead of in
ausurating q hunger strike thtw In
augurated sitting strike. They sat
down on the sidewalk and dcficd the
police to touch them. The police did
lift them up and bodily carried them
to the station. ThorcupCn they held
mass meeting and denounced the
police for their brutality and denounc-
ed the authorities IS lacking in that
chivalry and courtesy which is uue
to women.
Then Carter Harrison. mayer Of
the city, simply stated that the wo-
mon had disturbed the peace, that
an order had been issued for their ar
rest. not because they were women,
but because they were breaking the
law and that they wree treated as
other law breakers were treated. He
claimed, even in the manner Of their
arrest, there was some chivalry. II
they had been mon the police would
have bumped them on the sidewalks.
They were quietly arh deferentially
lifted and gently carried to the po-
lice station, without violence on the
part of the officers but with the ex-
ercise of only the amount OF physical
forcen ecessary to carry out the or
ders.
If our women are to become ANA
IONS when there are strikes they
must adopt the methods of the anna
IONS and not these of the other fe-
males who did dilletante fighting ar
ound the walls of Troy.
The amazOns at Troy cut Off one
breast in order that their throwinS
arm misht not be hindered. They ask
ed for no quarter because Of Their
sex. They fought to conquer, realiz-
ing that If they lost their lives were
to fight she, too, asked no considera-
tion because of her SEX.
When Venus, the beautiful, took
turn at fighting on an afternoon in
one of those crowded hours when
the fate of Troy hung in balance,
she was wounded in her little fins
er. She screamed and ran away up
through the clouds to Jupiter arh
tearfully pleaded with him to hurl
thunderbolt against the Greek fight
ing man who threw . spear ct her.
When our women enter into the
business Of government and all else
men at loost have q right TO de-
mand that they play tbs role Of Ito
amazon up to the limit and not that
of the fearful Venus.

The Gun Fighters Apprentices.

Vigorous prosecution of the police crusade against
the gunner and gangsters is having decidedly bene-
fetal results. The police themselves aver that in
the month since Waldo departed from Headquarters
there has been dminutiOn of murders because of
the new policy. while there certainly has been an
increase in the number of suspicious characters ar
raigned and the number Of arrests made for VIC
lating the concealed weapons law and of convictions
under it,
One of the curious by-products Of this crusade Is
the discovery that the up-to-date gunman now has
his weapon-bearer like feudal warrior Some
times this is his girl, who may conceal pistol in her
handbag. thus relieving him of the danger of being
caught with it. But more frequently it is boy. one
Of gangdoms apprentices, who is proud to be with
a dad man" If his chief falls into the tolls of the
police the boy may be able to sneak off in the con-
fusion of the arrest: at the worst It is almost i'm
possible to connect him with the gunman in court,
and the most the youthful rufian Gets is a sentence
for juvenile delinquency.
1t is impossible, of course, for the police to meet
wes like these successfully every time just as it is
organized crime of the gangs root and branch. Yet
the success they have had in a comparatively she TT
time because of honest, affirmative policy the
part of Mayor Mitchel's administration is most
couragng. 1t bids the city hope that the easy life
and profits of the gangman and gun fighter will
soon cease TO he the ideal of hundreds of half
grown boys.

Points To BE Cleared Up in the Monroe
Disaster

There are at least half dozen circumstances Of
the Monroe disaster which call for searching in
curry One is that vessels which should have passed
each other parallel lines came together at right
angles Was enc of them out Of her course? An
other is the speed at which the Nantucket was APP
parently going, judged by the effect of her impact
upon the Monroe. Was il such a speed as caution
should prescribe in binding fog? a third is that
OF the inefciency of signals Each vessel heard the
fog horn Of the other yet they crashed together
though deaf and dumb as well as blind
Most OF ALL perhaps 1t will be interesting to know
why the Monroe's watertight compartments did not

MINISTER'S FOR SUFFRAGE
Professor Sedgwick Is Answered by an
Array Of Figures.

To tie Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Professor William T. Sedgwick
asks why the churches do not rise up 10
protect the country against the flood Of
immortality that would result from wom-
an suffrage. Probably some of the pas
tors have noticed that all the vicious in
terests are fighting woman suffrage. and
they do not care TO range themselves in
such company.
Perhaps. also, some OF them have heard
from tho ministers In the enfranchised
states. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe short
time before her death sent a circular
letter 10 all the ministers OF four leading
denominations in the four Oldest suffrage
states, asking them whether woman suf-
frage worked well or ill., and she pub
lished the results OF her inquiry.
She received ga answers. OF which 62
were unfavorable. 46 on the fence and
5l6 in favor. The replies from the Epis-
copal clergy were in favor more than
two 10 one from the Baptist ministers.
seven to one; from the Congregationalists.
about eight to one: from the Methodist
ministers. more than ten TO one. and
from tho Presbyterian. ministers more
than eleven TO one. These hgures speak
for themselves.

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS
The Exemption Of Coastwise Vessels Is
Defended as a Subsidy.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The strong protests made by for
eiSn governments. especially Great Brit
tain, against the provision of the Pan
anna Canal law exemptnC American
coastwise shipping from tolls are GER
tainly convincing reasons for curbing the
treaty-making craze of our Secretary OF
State.
If the Hay Pauncefote treaty can be
construed so as to give Turkey, for in
stance, an equal right In the canal with
the country that financed, cut and com
pleted this stupendous work, then John
Hay was no match for the willy diplo-
matists Of the Old World Certain it is
that what had at one time been called
a great stroke OF diplomacy has sup
piled England with a preteXt to make
preposterous claims in regard TO the
management of an American built canal
through American territory.
The opposition 10 eXemptinG American
coastwise vessels from tolls comes with
bad grace from nations which literally
subsidize their own merchant marine.
Great Britain. the most pronounced
director TO the free passage of Ameri-
can coastwise vessels. grants large sub
sides 20 her own merchant shipping
The Cunard company is subsidized 10
the extent Of about si.25O,0oo year.
For keeping the Mauretania and the Luz
sitania in readiness as auxiliary cruisers
in case of war this company receives
$4,000 yearly. In 1908 the govern
ment loaned the Cunard company $l3,-
10000 ut the low rate OF 2A per cent,
and payable in twenty years. The con-
tract also calls for grant OF 100000
year to carry the mails from Liver
pool and Queenstown TO New York

Obstacles to the Naval Holiday

Mr.. Churchill in England and Mr. Daniels in
America may be quite right in advocating suspen-
sion of naval construction for year. There is no
doubt that such course would be temporary
relief to more than one Weary Titan. But>there is
one grave if not insuperable obstacle TO it, the
nature of which is suggested by Mr. Daniels him
self in his remark that such naval holiday could
not he had without combination of at least two
Of the worlds greatest nations.
1t may be said further that that combination must
comprise Great Britain and Germany. For years
their naval rivalry has set the pace for the rest
Of the world. and neither Of them will abandon it
unless the other does Mr. Churchill's proposal
OF years suspension conditioned absolutely
upon Germanys identical course. He would not
slacken British naval work one iota unless Ger
many did the same, even though all other nations
would suspend their work. Mr.. Daniels, too, would
not think of our taking year off unless either or
both of those powers did the same.
Now, Germany could not do this as readily as
either Of these other powers. if she were in
clined 10 do so, because her naval construction is
based on different system. Great Britain and the
year by year how many ships they shall build.
while Germany adopts programme for term of
years. Either of these powers could secure a
years respite simply by emitting some year to pro-
vide for any new ships to be begun the next year
but Germany would have to repeal law already
enacted and cancel contracts already made or else
wait until the end Of the term of years for which
she had already provided. That is one strong rea-
son why Germany has given so little attention to
this well meant scheme.

Care Free Bosses and Their lndls'
pensable "RollS.

"Curly loo" Cassidy on the witness stand IN Ms
own defence drew ii picture of the care Tree poSS
which deserves to live in history. AS dispenser VI
nominations and n collector Of the contributions oil
the faithful Cassidy almost patriarchai ID HIS
methods. His memory was his only ledger and his
trousers pocket was his only strong box. AS chair
man Of the Queens County Democratic committee
no didn't need the services of a treasurer. treas
urer giving out receipts for donations would nave
Jared with Cassidys deep-rooted notions of Jeher
sonan simplicity He was his own auditor and
his own bagman.
Here are few excerpts from the testimony Of the
care free guardian Of Democratic interests In
Queens
Odd the Democratic County Committee have a
treasurer? A.-Yes; think 1t was wallace:
Odd he get any of the primary money? A
No. he did not.
Odd you get it ali? Ayes.
Odd YOU keep record Of the donations! A
O&Your only record was your memory? A-Yes
/ remembered the big ones. and Kept no record l
kept the money in my pocket. i,
Odd YOU keep any record even report OF
any kind show the amount or the dohauoIss

necessary.
What bucoic condition of trustfulness unembar-
raised by technical details. Cassidy had only to
smite the rock of credit, Webster said Of Hamil-
ton and streams glshed forth abundanty. Nor dld
he have to bother about measuring the flow win
any prosaic contapton like a water meter Inc
currency flowed in and flowed out, and the only rec
ord of high or low water was that lodged in the re-
cesses Of the boss's capacious memory. Asked why
he took the risk of carrying thousands OF dollars
around with him in bills, he answered Il was lone
some without a roll in my pocket"
Most bosses are lonesome under such clrcum-
stances and the public is just beginning to devise
WAYS and means TO cure them Of that lonesome feel
ing No other testimony we know of puts into such
condensed and vivid form Cassdys does the re-
lations of the old style boss to the contding and
apathetic public on which he preyed over IN
Queens everybody worked but Cassidy and he
"raked in the dough- The roll" which be patted
and displayed with such fondness was the outward
and visible sign Of his own prosperity and OF the
sheepishness of the people he sheared.
There are still many "Cury Joes' among us-some
of them hungrier than { tssidy and less disposed
than he TO keep their appettes within bounds. The
wise getting ready to flee the wrath OF the
public which they have so long used as an easy
mark If juries courts and voters do their duty all
of them will be reduced TO that abject condition of
'loncsomeness" which Curly Joe" admitted he
would sink into If deprived Of his preprimary roll"
