man since his departure from Berlin, last
October
The statement that Sir Roger sought cleo
ton to the English Parliament is equally
false, but were he so disposed the very fact
of his being an outlaw from British rule
would insure his triumphant return, though
he would never demean himself by taking a
seat in the House. As in the case Of John
Mitcheps election for Tipperary in 1875, the
significance Of such election would lie in the
vindication by his countrymen Of the prin-
ciples for which he stood. The moral effect
Of such vindication would be felt through
out the length and breadth of Ireland.
Sweeping statements such as those made
BY your correspondent are useless unless
backed by proof II is proved fact that the
British government tried to effect the murder
or capture of Sir Roger Easement, and indis-
putable documentary evidence Of that fact
has been laid before the State Department in
Washington, of which more will be heard
later.
Your anonymous contributor with becom-
ing modesty also undertakes TO voice the
sentiment of the whole British Empire, which,
he informs us, "is well rid Of" Sir Roger.
He is rather premature, however, as the maj
chapters of their dealings are not yet writ
ten. The same government found Sir Roger
a useful and capable official when some years
ago he exposed the inhuman atrocities prsc-
tsed in the Congo BY those same Belgians
who are now, appropriately indeed, fighting
side by side with the British authors of the
Putumayo horrors, which, by the way, were
also dragged into the light OF day by Sir
Roger Easement.
In concluding let me admonish your name
less scribe to stick to facts and to make
reasonably sure Of his ground before launch
ing his batteries of base innuendo against
the fair fame Of man whose crime is that
he has sacrificed his all in an effort to aid
his downtrodden country.

Ouakers Of New England.


A perfect example Of an organizations
holding its own, at least so far as numbers
are concerned. is afforded BY the New Eng
land Society Of Friends, which held its year
ly meeting at Providence the last week. Ad-
ditions to membership during the year were
1873 and losses 1872 There was a net gain Of
one member, which makes the total 4,0ll.
The New England yearly meeting has an
honorable tradition behind it, dating back
to 1861. Professor Rufus NJ. Jones, who has
written very attractive history Of the Amer
lean Quakers, says that b. l743 the New Eng
land yearly meeting at Newport was attended
by as many as 5000 persons, who came from
places as far distant as Maine and Long ISL
and. Western Maine, next to Rhode Island,
has been the important New England centre
Of the Quakers, and the quarterly organza-
lions are still continued in a number Of
Maine districts. The religious life of the
Quakers has been largely absorbed in that Of
the other churches, but worship is still held
at Providence and some other New England
towns One question that came up for dis
cussion at the yearly meeting was the reten-
ton or abolition Of co-educaton az Moses
Brown School, Providence The question was
rot settled. The other educational institution
controlled by the Society Of Friends is Oak
Grove Seminary, at Nassalboro, Me

Minority Rule.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One of your correspondents claims
that the fact the majority of women are not
in favor of the vote should have no effect
on the decision. We are accustomed in a re-
public TO be ruled by the majority. This
would be the only exception.
She claims the better property laws and
higher education for women were brought
about by a small minority of women. Those
past middle life will remember the law Civ
ing wife the control OF her own property
vas brought about by the objection of fathers
70 having their sons-in-law rather than their
daughters handle their money.
The first college for women Vassar-was
planned bv men. It was claimed then, as il
is now. that women must vote to bring about
these reforms HELEN KENT.

symnnthizer is deter


not 60 to the Allies, and he undertakes to
murder Morgan to prevent it. Wherein is
Holt less rational than Won Tirpitz?
This, then, is what the German idea
means TO the world. This is what the
German spirit means to the nations that
have no part in the war and have no other
desire than to live in accordance with
those rules and laws which time and usage
have established as the guides to interna-
tional intercourse. No consideration OF
written word, of treaty, Of pledge, no re-
gard for the primary doctrines Of humanity
are to be permitted to stay the hand of a
German statesman, German soldier,
German sailor, even a German sympa-
thizer, when there is a German end to be
served by disregardng them.
Reread the Declaration Of Independence,
and what American can fail TO perceive
how far all this is from our own purpose,
our own history, our own conceptions of
humanity, of religion, of all that makes for
sweetness and light? If this is to pre-
vail in the world, if this spirit is to endure,
Germany may not ultimately dominate the
world, but her idea will. Europe, America,
the whole of mankind, perceiving that only
German methods succeed, will in self-de-
fence and by infinite gradations descend to
this level, to barbarism Of morals, unre-
deemed by a splendid civilization of ma
chinery.
No American political party, no organ
lied portion of the nation, desires to enter
the Great War. In preserving our neu-
tralty President Wilson has obeyed the
will of the majority, the overwhelming
majority, Of his countrymen. But what
percentage of Americans can desire Ger
man victory or seek to make us the ally Of
Germany and the abettor of her purposes?
This is what the German sympathizers in
this country are now trying to accomplish.
They are endeavoring to have us abandon
our neutrality place an embargo upon the
shipment of arms, close our own markets
to Germany's enemies, that Germany,
thanks to original advantages due to prep
aration, may conquer Europe.
Twice by attempted murder the German
purpose has been indicated. To that end
the dead of the Lusitania we're scattered
over the sea. To that end Mr.. Morgan
was to have been assassinated. Do we
need further lessons in the real meaning
of the German idea to awaken US to the
real import to America of the struggle IN
Europe, or the value, the necessity to the
United States that the present German
civilization, or, rather, German denial OF
civilization, shall not prevail in a world
in which for centuries without number men
have been struggling to emerge from bar
barism, from the barbarism to which Ger
many now has turned for inspiration, the
barbarism that places its whole reliance
on brute force and finds in the torch and
the sword, in assassination and massacre,
the real instruments of progress?
Let us not forget 1776 in 1918.
