greatest hit was when he said:

made IL the military campaign had
been decided in favor of Governor
CARRANzA. but that is far from the
case.
A first condition of any working
agreement with the faction that now
appears 10 be in the asccndent would
be possession OF the city of Mexico.
1t Is true that the United States once
in the past recognized a Mexican
Government organized elsewhere than
at the capital. but the military chief
who had established himself there
was persona non grata for good rel-
sons. In the present instance II Is
clear that Governor CARRANZAs al

THE CONSENT OF THE
GOVERNED.
A Woman's Very Effective Reply to
Professor Prince.

To THE EDITOR or THE SrN--Sir
Only the fact that you gave Professor
Princes letter a whole column on
your admirable editorial page entities
1t to one moments serious considera =
ton. But under the circumstances
1t is perhaps best that his statements
should be corrected. If he had made
any inquiries he must have known
that In Finland and in all other equal
suffrage communities domestic con-
cord is quite undisturbed. The same
simple process would have shown min
that equal suffrage Is not a Single
woman's movement: the boot is on
the other leg. II is impossible to dis
cuss such elastic terms as freak
legislation" and muck rakers" with
out some further definition from Pro-
fessor Prince.
The theory of the consent Of the
governed" was never more respected
than now 1t il OH that basis that
every one OF the warning nations is
repudiating all intention OF holding
conquered territory inhabited by an
alien population. and 1t is on the same
rest.
1t Is very generally conceded that
the power Of labor tnions depends
largely on their political power as
voters and that in this way wages are
affected by votes.
II 1t were true that the power to
enforce decision by physical means
were the only qualification for a share
in the government, then the standing
army OF the country would alone be
entitled to vote. What would be the
claim Of man over A. or of a man
in any way below the physical stand
OF physical force has long been
abandoned
What Professor Prince is really
trying TO convey is that there il such
a thing as natural unfitness for
self-government, one which neither
education nor circumstances can
alter. This has been said of classes
OF people other than women. the rea-
sons given being racial or even eli
matte. The English have said it OF
the inhabitants OF India and have in
consequence given them little educa-
ton and less government. and Il
is likely to prove an expensive mis-
take. II has been said of the Fill
pinos. but the majority Of Americans
are 50 firm in their belief in self-gov-
eminent that our policy is the reverse
OF the English one. and the little red
school house" Is going up everywhere
In the islands and self-government is
the hope OF the future.
No one supposes the functions of
men and women TO be identical. There
are some strains. moral as well as
phy steal. which men stand better than
women. and other strains, physical
as well as moral. which women stand
better than men No anti disputes
this. not even the Gamers. But We
claim that the line OF demarcation
between these functions is not CO.
inciden; with the line between So
called public and private life. and we
assert that this Is abundantly proved
by the admirable work Of women in
many different public fields.

All New York Asks.

From the Constitutional Conven-
ton the city of New York asks no
special privileges and no exemptions.
Ii demands the rectification Of those
provisions in the Constitution which
now deprive ii Of equal representa-.
ton in the Legislature with other
districts of the State. and the estab-
lishment Of a system that shall im.
pose on it its fair share of direct
taxes, and not an inequtabls burden
Of these imposts.
II Is not proposed by New York
city that voter living within it shall
exercise a greater influence in State
affairs than voter whose home lies
elsewhere. The city merely wants
that share Of representatives in AS
sembly and Senate to which It's citl.
zen population entities it. 1t protests
against comforting on one voter in an
upstate county three times the power
that is given TO one voter within its
boundaries. 1t asks that vote be as
influential when II is cast under the
shadow Of the Brooklyn Bridge as
when it is deposited within sight Of
the Erie Canal
For purposes Of taxation the city
does not ask that the valuation uf
upstate real estate shall be inflated
1t does ask that the valuation Of all
real estate for purposes of taxation
shall be equalized. so that a commu-
nifty that apprizes property at 90 per
cent. of its value shall not thereby
escape taxation on two-fifths of its
actual possessions. New York city.
because Of its necessities. has been
compelled to assess real estate at
100 per cent, and this fact imposes
IN It an unjustifable burden in com
parison with the town which assesses
At 80 per cent, when direct tax Is
levied. 1t wants this inequality cor.
rected. not to injure any other settle
ment, but to protect itself.
The Constitutional Convention will
make the acquaintance OF large
number of energetic and resourceful
promoters who hope before its labo IS
end to obtain special exemptions or
privileges for certain districts. cities
ar counties. New York will not be
among these. All that it pleads for Is
equal representation and equal tax
stion. These granted, the city will bear
with entire good temper its fair share
Of the cost Of State government.
