SUFFRAGE AND THE "ISMS"
No Connection, He Says, and He Won.
ders Why Others Couple Them.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Reina A. Lawrence again rakes
up hat old, often disposed of gag
about the connection between suffrage
and socialism" Ii does not seem pos,
sible that any one could be so i'll in
formed as not 20 know that the So
called suffrage has nothing whatever
to do either for or against socialism.
Professionalism, Catholicism. Mahomet-
anism, Buddhism, feminism or any
other ISM" anarchy or miltancy.
Many socialists are anti-suffragists.
and it would be just as senselcss 10
say that socialists and anti-sufrragists
are connected"
Probably there are few narrow
minded voters who are not capable of
thinking for themselves who cannot see
through this trick of coupling every
thing which is unpopular in the eyes
of "antis' with suffrage. They even
pretend to say that suffrage will cause
divorces and prevent raising children.
Suffrage Is nothing but genuine dem

certain amount OF property few years

DOESN'T WANT r. r. TO RUN
A Boston Admirer and Republican
Wants Him Saved for 1916.

To the Editor The Tribune.
Sir: Being a Roosevelt admirer and
also Republican, was much i'm
pressed with the editorial appearing
in this mornings Tribune. | heartily
agree with you and only wish the
Colonel would read it and reach the
same conclusions that you have. 1t
is exactly as you say, by running
for Governor on the Progressive ticket
the Colonel will stamp the Progressive
party as mere means of defeating
the Republican party" That hits the
nail right on the head, for judging by
recent election returns, the only asset
the Progressive party now has is the
Coonel. 1t is toe bad that the New
York State Bull Moosers cannot see
beyond their own state border, and so
willingly do what will invite sure dis
aster two years hence.
The Colonel is not strong politically
in New York, and | think if he does
give in TO the pleadings of his New
York worshippers he will sincerely re-
greet it later There may be much cor
ruption and dishonesty at Albany and
elsewhere in New York, but that can
be remedied without forcing Colonel
Roosevelt to become the goat. do
not believe he will consent to play
the tool and make a farce of himself
for the New York Progressives either.
The latter party appear to be very
vindictive and determined to smash
things" in order to attain their own
selfish ends. want TO see the Colonel
grow stronger all the time rather than
weaker throughout the country, but
he will not if he gives in to his New
York followers.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Whit
man has not the "gumption" 10 come
out and declare against Barnes and his
coterie, for the latter is not the big
factor he used TO be in New York
politics. The public generally has had
a suffciency of such characters as
Barnes and his kind, and why a man
of Whitman's stamp and ability should
prefer not to denounce such rotten
boss passes my comprehension. Let US
trust he will see the light before the
fall elections. For, if he fails to, he
xill fall and fall hard in the fall after
the fall votes are counted.
There is no question that a ma
iority of the people of this country
cratic rule in state and nation and
that there will be many changes after
the next election. 1t is odd, but
nevertheless true, that the Democrats
rarely land really able and compe-
tent man in office. high or low. Presi-
dent Wilson, while very brainy and
conscientious, is far too theoretical
and idealistic. How much of an in
fuence Lecturer Bryan may have over
him is, of course, question. The
Democratic small-fry in Congress is
an old story now, and the calibre Of
Democratic Senator'S has again been
demonstrated in the matter Of Mr..
Warburg's Denomination. What's
the use? Who is to clean house for
us and turn out the undesirable ele-
ment" in our government shop? The
one and most dependable person is
Colonel Roosevelt. and if the said New
Workers will let him alone think he
will do a good job two years from
now. h. WILSON LINCOLN.

WHAT DO PROFESSORS THINK ?
Suspicion Expressed Concerning Re-
suit of Canvass on Suffrage.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some months ago Everett 7.
Wheeler and Professor Monroe Smith,
as is we'll known, sent out an elaborate
QUESTIONABLE on woman suffrage to the
male members of the faculties of all
the colleges and universities of New
York. Though publicly challenged,
these gentlemen have never produced
the results of this elaborate inquiry.
1t is therefore reasonable to suppose
that the results were more encourag-
ing to the suffragists than to their OPP
ponents.
In sending out these questions these
gentlemen stated: Academic opinion
frequently forecasts and largely helps
to form general opinion" We suifra-
gists thank them for that word. Since
the National Education Association,
representing a. it does the immense,
broad educational machine of this
country, has Endorsed the two great
principles of equality and justice, viz.
equal political rights for the sexes and
equal pay for equal work, we may, in
deed, hope that academic opinion fore
shadows public events.

ness the barkeeper must be a cody

cant, ask the Mayor and the police.
There is your cant. Not the cant Of
religion, but the inability to do their
plain duty and enforce the law.
Hypocrisy. The hypocrisy in the
liquor trade compared to the hypocrisy
in the temperance movement is like an

HE DENIES BORDER INSULTS
Mexicans Have Wholesome Respect
for Cowboys, Reader Insists.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Noticing in your to-day's issue
what Mr. Heard has to say about the
border and the absurd and unmanly
statement that he makes, desire for
the honor of my native land to correct
him, if he is quoted correctly in the
following;
Castillo, the bandit" Mr.. Heard
said, approached bunch of cowboys
on the border we have assaulted
your women he sneered; we have
burned your homes; we have spit on
your flag. Please tell me what else we
have to do to make you fight"
Texans are not insulted in the man
ner that he states; neither do ! believe
that they are in Arizona. On the con-
trary, n wholesome respect is felt for
our cowboys, and the fear of retribu-
ton was never better known than it is
to-day along our border, and this for
the good reason that they deal out JUS
tice without the preliminaries when
necessary.
Our boys are not lawless On the
contrary, they respect and enforce the
law and command most magnificent re-
spect, especially along our border.

Correspondent Fancies an Inconsist-
ency in Tribune's Attitude.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having been a reader of The
Tribune for the last ten years may
write (the first time) and ask how
ycu can reconcile the statements in
your editorials Of last Friday and to-
day, namely. Civil Service Secre-
taries for the Board of Estimate" and
"The President Once More Aids the
Spoilsmen"?
In the former you say: "the
course decided on will transfer the
appointment of these secretaries from
the Board of Estimate committees,
whose membership will have to work
with the appointees and be responsible
for them 10 the Civil Service Com
mission, which will not" as an argu-
ment or reason why they should be
exempted.
In the latter editorial you speak o.
Secretary Redfeld and the President
turning "a sharp corner in order TO
save those fourteen new jobs for per-
sonal and political favorites.' Then
YOU mention the Presidents having at
tackled the merit system, and further
of his practical sympathy with the
hungry and thirsty"
It's poor rule that doesn't work both
ways, ana you are at least inconsistent,
if not unfair, TO the President. The
relations Of the fourteen new COM
mercial attaches 10 their superiors will
be no more different than the six sec
retarles will be TO theirs. And il the
argument holds good in one case it
should in the other. But il seems with
The Tribune that when it's Demo
era. that's different.
Let me ask you. in conclusion, do
you honestly believe that there are no
hungry and thirsty" in the fusion
ranks? And is not the attempt TO grab
the six jobs on the Board of Estimate
a desire ito follow the old vicious
method of parcclling out these places
as political spoils"?

Amount Due to Minnesota Breaks All
Records.
Railroads operating in Minnesota
will pay to the state as their 1918
gross earnings taxes $5,733,713.10, the
rate being per cent.
The tax is $4,000 more than the
state levy for revenue purposes, which
brought in $5,21O,OOO last year, and q
trifie less than one-eighth of the total
amount raised by the state, and all
the municipalities, counties, town
ships and school districts, through tax
levies, in 1918.
This is the first time in the history
Of the state that the railroads have
furnished for the support of the state
government more than has been ex-
acted from the people by direct taxa
ton. The amount is the largest ever
collected from the carriers and their
earnings were larger last year on Min
nesota business than ever before
The 1912 earnings were reported at
$105, 1851, 358.19 and the tax at per
cent was $4,238,45432 This was q
