PRISON WORK ON ROADS
Other States Using Coavlcts to Good
Advantage In Highway Building.

Washington, d. G. 1.-THE use of
convicts On the public roads has
passed through the period of hysteri-
cal wrang1e into period Of actually
successful accomplishment and almost
universal acceptance" stated E. Stage
With, whose new course In practi-
cal penal problems at Columbia uni
versity was recently announced.
DR. Within holds that the underly-
ing motive in convict road building
must be to secure the great efficiency
for the state out OF its possessions
Both the convicts and the roads are
property of the state, and the work
ing OF onvicts upon the roads should
eliminate many elements of waste in
the administration OF road and prison
departments.
Statistics WEI Keep.
1.-The efficiency OF the convict on
the road gang he continued, differs
greatly in different gangs. There is
no doubt in my mind that the appli-
cation of the efficiency records in use
at the present time In the Wisconsin
road camps for free labor Will tend
even more perceptibly to raise the eff
fic1ency OF convict labor.

good work can be produced Coop

THE Way to Peace"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: That was amused last evening by the
receipt of a postal card characterizing my
letter in your paper as extremely silly (capi-
tai letters and my assumptions as unwar-
ranted and chldishly preposterous would be
no reason for trespassng further upon your
space were it not that others equally may
have Inexperienced.
Ironica remarks are too often taken at
their face value but had supposed the fol-
lowing paragraph would make my meaning
clear:
While it is surely appropriate for peace
lovers to request the Kaiser to withdraw his
armies from their invasion of neighboring
countries, l should no more expect him to do
so than to give up his submarine warfare or
to modify it in considerable degree at the re-
quest of our President.
have been surprised that able men should
expect such action from Germany, though !
do not call them silly on that account. If
any backing down is done fear it will be on
the part of the United States.
The possible sequence of a German victory
may, however, be the notion which the gen
tleman deems preposterous. | hope indeed
that our fleet and shore defences might
prove adequate in case of attack, but if the
greater half of Europe should prove unable TO
withstand the Germans | have grave doubts
Of our doing better.
AS the writer's signature is somewhat
blurred, I am left in doubt as to whether the
sharp criticism sent upon a postal card is a
sample Of German Kultur and economy or of
American indifference and haste.

ity of the American people seem plainly will
ing that certain American rights should be
waived"

of the country, and neither in newspaper
comment nor in frequent discussions and
conversations have found any one not
Of avowedly German sympathies who takes
this view Surrender Of any American right
at this juncture is not merely opposed, It is
regarded as inconceivable. It seems to be
generally recognized that il is not merely

are at stake, but that the United States Is

NO MILLENNIUM IN SIGHT
But Then, the suffragists Never
Predicted One, Anyway.
q the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor or Inc 1rlDune'
Sir: Rose Phelps, in a letter printed In
The Tribune, accuses me of making the mis-
take of thinking that the possession OF votes
by women would bring in the millennium IN
very short time. There was absolutely MOTH
ing in my letter to indicate this, nor, know
ing human limitations, do I expect such re-
Suits. II is the ants who think the mllen-
mum ought TO come, and so they are never
satisfied with what women do accomplish as
voters.
| did not even present the argument that
conditions would be bettered II women were
enfranchised, although | sincerely believe
this While equal suffrage in the West has
not eliminated all evils nor settled all prop
lens, it has shown effectively the influence
on legislation of the humanitarian instincts
of the mother sex and its tendency TO STAND
for morality and cleanliness in public life
Eight-hou laws for minors, the equal guard
ianship of children, the control Of CONNER
cialzed vice, widowed mothers pensions, the
reasonable years for the age Of consent, an
eight-hour law for workingwomen, all pre-
vail to a greater extent in equal suffrage
than in male suffrage states. In fact, the
last named is not found in any male suffrage
state.
Better and cleaner polling places, lack OF
ldisorderliness at elections, higher standard
Of character for candidates for office, these
too. are on the credit side Of equal suffrage
Moreover, we are indebted to equal sur
frage states for welfare commissions, juvenile
courts and the "honor and trust system for
prisoners. In addition, men and women are
more companionable, womanhood is held IN
greater reverence, and children especially
sons. look up to their mothers with more re-
spect because the latter have power over pub
lie affairs.
| specified the interests of the home and
the children with which politics deals, and
il Is not fair to infer that | advocate votes
for women as a substitute for good character
in fathers and mothers. OF course, private
depravity or inefiiciency can offset much
which is done efficiently in public, and, on
the other hand, public welfare work can make
up for private lack. Why not let women be
good characters and also voters as men may
be? Politics controls so many Of the inter-
ests of the home to-day that mothers, how
ever good their characters, cannot do their
full duty by their families without a power
that controls the public officials who run the
schools, who appoint subordnates to inspect
the food and workshops where clothing is
made, who regulate amusement places and
those of vicious character.

That Little Yellow Car.

DR.. Anna Howard Shaws little yellow
car seems in the way of satisfying a num-
Der of claims not usually associated with
little yellow cars. And when it has full
filled these obligations it bids fair to re-
turn to DR.. Shaw little the worse for wear,
though exalted in song and story. Let
the friends of the veteran suffrage leader
be of good cheer, then. All save honor is
by no means lost, and honor may be dou-
bled and trebed.
1t is admitted that on the books Of Della
ware County, Penn, the name of DR.. Shaw
stood opposite a substantial sum in unpaid
taxes. She nevertheless felt that she owed
it to herself and to her stalwart principles
not to pay this debt. And, of course, the
officers of Delaware County and Of Penn
sylvania considered that they owed it to
themselves, their oaths of office and their
county and state-possibly also to their
sex-to collect the amount due. Obviously
so many conflicting obligations were fast
developing a situation embarrassing to all
concerned.
Then into the crisis a group of DR..
Shaw's enthusiastic followers projected the
little yellow car, itself in payment Of a
debt-a debt of gratitude, long in arrears
Immediately it submitted to capture by a
tax collector and thereby satisfied the debt
to county and state, not to mention that
which the tax collector and the other au-
thorities Of the commonwealth owed them
selves, their oaths and it may be their sex
1t automatically wiped from the slate, also
DR.. Shaw's obligations toward herself and
her principles, since she wisely abandoned
the pretty gift to its fate. And when the
car comes up for auction even the "antis'
seem likely to share in its services-to wit
by bidding for it against their opponents
to satisfy their sense of conflict.
Finally, the original purchasers and
their friends will in all probability multi
ply the demonstration of their regard for
their champion by buying in the prize to
bestow it again upon her. Theirs should be
the greatest cost, but also the greatest
triumph.
Eastern Victory is the little yellow cars
name; all-round victory is its accomplish
ment.

Women and Optional Voting.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The statement Of &c. VI. B." that "no
man or woman is forced to vote" is made
so often it calls for a reply. If a man fails
to vote, az many do, he is condemned by
patriots as failing in his first duty to the
state.
Horace Greeley said a separate place Of
punishment should be reserved for him. But
women, we are told, could do as they please
vote or not vote. Why should they not
feel the same obligation If the burden of
the government is put upon them? The
officers of the anti-suffrage organization
have publicly stated, much as they are op-
posed 70 putting this new burden on women,
that if it is forced upon them as good cit-
zens they will vote-as intelligent women
must to Offset the ignorant vote
The writer knows to certainty that the
large number of women who vote in suffrage
states of whom &c. NJ. B." speaks are not
all voting because they wish TO, but for the
above reason or because of the continual i'm
portunities Of politicians.

the protagonist of all neutral countries and
of the slowly and painfully established code
of international law in its efforts to maintain
on the high seas the rights of neutrals ana
the requirements of common humanity.
Can this statement have been made for
mere rhetorical effect in emphasizing the
points which the editorial proceeds to make
or is it possible that the editors have been
misled by the undoubtedly well organized and
at times skilfully and subtly conducted
press letter campaign of the German sympa-
thizers, or can it be, which my respect for
The Tribune will not permit me to believe,
that, foreseeing an undertaking course by the
President with possible grave consequences,
the intent is to pave the way for making po-
litcal capital of these consequences?
cannot believe that this statement really
represents the belief or the position of The

mental step toward justifying the placation-
at:any-price policy of Mr.. Bryan.
