The Aristocratic Viewpoint.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In an able review a short time ago
one of our critics drew a comparison be-
tween two women writer's The one he
said, looked at life through the curtains
and over the flower boxes of first floor
Fifth av. mansion; the other was down
among the crowd with gloves off. In her
remarks anent the suffrags views OF Miss
Mabel Boardman Miss Eittenden shows
conclusively that she bemgs 10 the for
mer description. Women who take an
active interest I'm public life and in social
problems she persists inregarding as the
only women who want tn, vote. she iooks
upon them as a sort oG"ladies' aid So
ciety." This is an aristo'ratic VieWpoin/
which personally disappove but / could
not quarrel with Miss Chttendens incon-
sistency If she would only apply It TO the
question of male suffrage. The arguments
she presents 10 the public are always OF
a nature that can be applied with equal
force to any form Of democratic govern

this review frequent bitter attacks on the
suffragists are made.
The psychology OF the use of this PAM
phlet Is extremely interesting. In every
age. with every race those who work for
reform meet with unthinking resistance
from the vast mass, who decide most
matters by habit or feeling" Always
and everywhere the more intelligent OF
the reactionaries make use of the fears
Of the many and give out that the new
step forward is against the religion and
against the morality OF the day.
This is exactly what ne anti-suffrasists
are trying to do i'm the use OF the sugges-
ton that there Is a connection between
loose morality and the suffrage move
ment Some OF them really believe that
this Is the case but others are merely
teasing.
I am sorry for the anti-suffragists. They
are in the position of people who have to
make excuses for not carrying through a
measure OF simple justice. They don't
like suffrage-thats all there is 10 tt-but
if they will only be patient with them
selves they will get over their uncom-
Portable feelings just an enlarsng ex-
perience makes US all a pp the prejudices
gained from our localitySpn and family.
Surely the American public has too
much sense to be mlsled into believing
that there is any connection between the
views of an erratic and littIe known Lon
don paper and the suffrage Saders in this
country.
With equal validity theN suffragists
might claim that since The Egolst,"
THE New Age" and other advanced
papers attack woman suffrage, there is
an alliance between them and the anti
suffragists, whereas the truth Is that
these organs of opinion do not belong TO
either camp.
Cannot the controversy range round
the merits OF the question?

MORALITY AND SUFFRAGE
The Radical Views of Dora Marsden
Have Nothing to Do with the Case.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Through the length and breadth OF
the country, even at the Congressional
hearing in Washington and the legislative
hearings in the different states. the anti
suffragists have brought up and made
impressive use of a pamphlet known as
"Bondwomen," written by Dora Marsden.
an English journalist, and published by
the National American Woman Suffrage
Association. The pamphlet has also been
used in an open letter to clergy,nen with
which the anti-suffragists have tried TO
brighten our spiritual teachers into be-
lieving that woman suffrage is synony-
nous with license and immortality. IL
they would freely hand out the whole OF
this pamphlet not very much harm would
be done, and not very much good, either
But the passage which they select and
take from its context merely states that
the writer Is not, here and now. consider
ing the question of the position OF the
father, either in relation 10 the state or TO
the family; she is writing to women, tell
ing them to bestr themselves, to be fine
and free and independent; to stop being
it is comparatively easy to take sem
tence out OF its context and make II
sound extremely damaging. Few are the
authors and few are the speeches TO
which this could not be done. The BiDle'
Shakespeare, Goethe-indeed. any OF the
classics. could be put TO the same HARM
full use.
1t is a favorite joke OF the ant!-suffra-
eists to pretend that the suffraglsts sup
port all Miss Marsden's views and later
developments If they did they would not
be suffraeists. 10. Miss Marsden scorns
all causes and all reformers. Her first
magazine, THE Freewoman," had short
and stormy life. After il had been dead
some months a meeting was called in
London to revive II. 1t was suggested
that the name OF the new magazine
should be THE New Free Woman" Miss
Marsden made ii abundantly clear that
the purpose OF the magazine was the
"excogitation OF the sour' OF the editor,
and she has now much more suitably
named the magazine THE Egoist." In

Their Use Would Check Robberies and
Give Needed Employment.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The multiplying instances OF rob-
berry in our city-the looting of stores.
factories. dental laboratories etc.-cause
wonder in my mind as to why the mer-
chants and others afflicted in this way do
not apply an obvious and inexpensive
method of self-protection. II is well known
that a series of robberies successfully
carried out prompts the criminally IN
clned to further acts OF lawlessness, fire.
auently accompanied by violence. as seen
I'm the recent Instances of murder OF po-
lcemen. shooting up restaurants. hold
ups OF citizens by day and night and other
violations OF law.
Now. TO my mind, the way to check this
wave of crime Is 10 make its continuation
difficult and dangerous. Why do not our
storekeepers. factory owners and business
men generally install watchmen on their
PREMISES? 1t would be cheap insurance,
make for almost complete safety and be a
great help to a class of worthy men per-
laps somewhat past the activity demand
ed in these strenuous days.
There are probably ten thousand men OF
middle age in this city honest and with
good references. who would be glad TO
take places as watchmen, and their mere
presence and the known fact that they
were being extensively so employed would
prac .icaly put an end to the depredations
In the business districts. No doubt
more or less broken but reliable men
could be got at wage Of from 81 to sl3
a week. and in many instances their SER
vices could be utilized in connection with
cleaning, heating and other light duties.
Best Of all. it would take out Of the labor
market a class now feebly competing in
different branches. 10 the detriment of all.
In the case OF small establishments a
combination among owners could be
brought about. making the expense al
most negligible.
