delightful dinner party last Tuesday
evening at her Hargadine street

1t is not difficult to diagnose the
condition that now exists in the CAPT.
tol at Albany. A monumental greed,
masking its activities under the eu
phemistic term reconstruction" has
come to grief. Incapable OF foregoing
or even postponing the satisfaction of
its lust for jobs, 1t entrusted it's graft
fication to inefficient and incompetent
directors. These have found the divi.
sion and distribution OF the spoils a
task beyond their skill, and their ef
forts to build a machine have come
TO ludicrous failure.
Under such circumstances 1t is not
a matter for wonder that the legisla.
tive engine is on a dead centre. tina,
the States business Is held up, tina
tempers have become irritable. dispo.
sitions soured and the serious affairs
OF government lost to sight in a dis.
gushing series Of petty Quarrels and
despicable personalities.
And the authors Of this chaos con.
fdently expect 10 designate the next
Republican candidate for President
Of the United States!

KILL THE RATS.
They May BE Carriers Of the Mys'
teriOus HOof and Mouth Disease.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir' To
stamp out a disease either contagious
or infectious To mankind or stock ! agree
that no expense or alue should be spared
in order to arrive at a result without
any lAs Of time, but II seems 10 me
rather a one sided arair that not only
valuable stock but also domestic pets
Of every description should be sacrt-
feed, whereas nothing is said about the
much dreaded rat, which has been known
for years as a disease carrier OF the
deepest dye.
Nothing Is definitely known as to how
the hoof and mouth disease is spread
from n farm 10 another, II will APP
farm and leave the nearer line one per-
fect!y alone as II II did not exist, and
because perhaps one of the disease car
riers might be among their number the
deputies give orders to slaughter not
only valuable stock but also TO Kill
domestic pets.
The authorities should make II COM
pu.sory that all rats and even mice in
all thu injected farms and all farms In
the sam districts where the disease has
Tot yet appeared be destroyed imme-
diat,lN ana 'he runs and holes OF these
animals thoroughly dis Infected.
The strong and drastic measures now
adopted by the authorities could be IN
many cases avoided and valuable stock
snd the lives OF our pets spared.

More Voters. the Same Old Politics.

Mrs. GRACE WILBUR TROUT. presi-
dent of the Illinois Equal Suffrage
Association. AYERS that these stock
arguments" used against woman suf.
frage have been demolished by the
recent primary in Cook county
women will destroy the parties by
voting for visionary and radical parties
"'They will not appreciate the vote,
but after having procured 1t will drop
It like a stale toy
They cannot d~irerentiste properly
in making political selections"
The first argument, IL argument 1t
be, was founded in large part upon
the number of tempestuous p~etticoats
that tluttered about the Colonel in
1912. The third was an assumption.
The second. whatever its force, can
be refuted only by time. 1t is far too
early to decide whether the ballot is
to be a weapon or a rattle in female
hands. 1t Is to be noticed, however.
in estimating present appreciation
in Chicago, that less than one-third
Of its women folks have registered.
Mrs. Trout goes on to say:
"The results show. and will continue
to show. that there is nothing to the
cry that the women will follow their
husbands in party division. The voting
o. far shows that the women are a.
human as the men. They vote for tho
same reasons and accept the same politi-
cal institutions. They do not follow
their husbands"
According to ELLA FLAGa YouNG the
Chicago women will vote for SwEITzEB
for Mayor because they Will want to
be with a winner; they won't want
to waste their votes" More evidence,
II she is right, that the feminine
voter is swayed by the same reasons
and want of rea son as the N sculine.
II these views are sustained by the
facts, no change or publication or ele
walton or idealization or poetization of
politics is to be expected from woman
suffrage. The number of voters is TO
be doubled, say: the processes and re-
suits are to be the same.
1t is not for the good Of the State,
then, but to please the women or
some of the women, who pine for
Justice" and equality" that woman
suffrage is to be adopted. More ,ot'
crs, the same old politics.

The citizens OF New York State

how goodnaturedly we bear n major

II Is In the prompt Strengthening out
Of their provincial bookkeeping that
we have demonstrated our affection,
and whenever again they need the
disinterested and expert services OF
truly competent administrators they
shall not call on us In vain.
But while the open handed residents
of New York city grudge nothing to
their brethren above the Bronx. would
il not be a graceful ard appropriate
thing for the denizens of the remote
districts TO acknowledge by some suit
able act the kindnesses we h abitually
display toward them? II is too much,
perhaps to expect them to help pay
the costs Of the inquiry Comptroller
PRr ypERGAsr has carried on; the up
state habit and practice are opposed
to such a sordid expression OF graft
tude. Something in the way Of an
appreciative resolution. proposed In
Assembly and Senate by the leaders Of
the Republican majorities, engrossed
by the Secretary Of State and bearing
the Governors signature 10 attest It's
significance. might be in keeping with
the proprieties and at the same tine
inexpensive.
That the city will eve fail to ans
tain and support the State is un-
thinkahle. no matter how heavy the
burden may be, Yet II would he q
heartening and comforting thing II
the State should occasionally formally
give recognition to the heavy debt 1t
owes TO the city.

mony In the banking community Of
the country. On the contrary, 1t will
provoke discord.
There Is an excellent reason why
New York State should proceed only
with the greatest elaboration in on
senting to any change in the relative
status OF national and State banking
institutions. The banking system of
New York, consisting of State banks
and trust companies, is the product
Of economic opportunity and the wise
protection Of the State laws. There
has already been manifested a dc.
gree OF uneasy apprehension In the
state banking system that sooner or
later the attitude Of the Federal Re
serve system toward IL would become
coercive. and a disposition to resist
has been evinced.
While the Empire State takes pride
In the power and prestige OF the ma
tiQnal banks within its borders, the
state banking system Is deservedly
n matter Of 40 less pride. In the re-
cent well considered revision Of the
State banking law a clause was In.
serted protecting the trust companies
Of this State from an invasion OF their
special field of business. and a move.
ment TO eliminate It is bound TO be
energetically opposed.
Since the State law does not ever
permit state banks to do a trust com
pany business, very strong arguments
VIII have to he presented to show
why national banks should receive
trustee powers. The movement to
that end seems to have originated
among the country national banks OF
the State and there Is no evidence
that national banks in the larger
cities desire to disturb the present
divisions of the banking business. On
the contrary. there is evidence that
the metropolitan members of the Fed.
eral Reserve system feel that trust
company service as now established
and performed is satisfactory to the
public and that there is room under
existing law for plenty OF competi.
ton to keep 1t satisfactory.
