A STUDY IN FRIVOLITY
VIII There Be a Plea Of Guilty to the
Soft Impeachment?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: It is difficult to imagine the
sensible, brilliant Tribune coming out
so unequivocally in support of woman
suffrage. An old and wise bird caught
with chaff at last! I easily compre-
bend individuals desiring to be popular
with the ladies, but that the imper-
sonal and venerable Tribune should be
consumed by desire so frivolous
knocks me half silly. Is your wooing
so ardent that no anti may be al
lowed to air his views in your columns ?
If permitted, | would say that woman
suffrage seems TO have no point d'appui
at all. Are not all the laws enacted
by our legislators as much in the in
terest of woman as of man himself?
What discrimination or neglect has
woman been made to suffer by not
sharing in the privilege of making the
laws? What law or laws does she wish
10 see passed which she cannot obtain
without demanding a separate voice in
political affairs | am inclined to
think that woman's interests are not
neglected In any particular, nor has
her sway over silly man declined TO
any degree. Why, then, unnecessarily
add heavy expense to the machinery
of the ballot by giving women the
right to vote, especially as the pre-
sumption is strong and insistent that
women would 10 an important extent
vote not independently but according
TO the ideas of their husbands, fathers,
brothers or lovers? Hence you would
get only a duplicate or other dimen-
sion of the original vote. Again, is
not the feminine mind peculiarly adapt
ed for matters Of light and trifing i'm
port, and has il not always busted it.
self, 10 the exclusion Of vital problems
Of life, with the newest creations Of
the milliner's art and such things as
the dansant or game OF auction
bridge "Parva leves capiunt animes."
Why spoil their lives by creating for
them Frankenstein? am we'll aware
there are intellectual and accomplished
women in the world, but their number
IS too Insignificant to hope for leav-
ening influence among the large army
of feminine automata.
Conclusions: % The necessity for
woman suffrage does not exist except
in the minds OF women sgitators, who
are seeking distraction or self-adyer-
tisement; and (2) woman Is by nature
and education untitled 10 undertake an
excursion into the stormy domain OF
politics. Her place Is in the home.

NO HYPHENATED POLICIES
Nor Alien Coalitions for Control OF
America.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A glance at the columns OF the
made in Germany" press in America
on the day following the sending OF the
twin notes to London and Berlin proves
what must be apparent 70 all thinking
Americans: that the man who is Ger
man by birth. and in many instances
the man whose parents only were Ger
man, is more German than American.
The suggestion of Mr.. Riders paper,
for example, that
IAN inquiry Is not the proper reply
for the abuse of the American nag
Huerta got solid shot. Does Mr. Bryan
admit that we stand more in awe OF
Winston Churchill than OF General
Huerta? | don't think the American
people generally do"
is not an American but 8 German sug-
gestion, for the circumstances are 80
entirely different that there can be no
comparison. 1t is crafty play on
American patriotism. Nothing is more
notable than the difference in tone be-
tween the real American and the n.y.
phenated-American press.
Sooner or later the American people
are going to wake up to the fact that
they have been fatally at fsul, in ere
ating within this country little foreign
principalities, the same condition wnieh
is making for the weakness OF Austria

RATES OR WAGES
Shall the Former Be Lowered or the
Latter Raised?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The recent investigation by the
Foley commission seems TO promise
lowering of telephone rates Before
this is done should we not consider
The low paid girl telephone operators
and the effect a reduction in rates will
have or them?
We are all talking Of unemployment
and low wages just now. Why does
not the telephone company take ad-
vantage Of this opportunity to raise
wages without increasing the cost to
the consumer? II rates are lowered,
will not the possibility Of raising oper-
ators' wages vanish for many year
Why should not the company estab-
lish q minimum wage Of SO week for
students and of S12 week for regular
operators?
Might not the public benefit as much
from such an increase Of wages as il
would from reduction in telephone
rates?
The girl telephone operator is the
heart of the telephone system. and an
increase in her wages would surely
lead TO an increase in her efficiency.

that "Mayor Mitchell is scheduled 70
