Lady suffrage coins Gertruds
Barnum, speaking for the working
woman, with whom she has been
SO long identified IN the labor move
ment, rs not the suffrage that the
working woman knows, has time for
or sym pa thizes with. Lady suffrage
is the pink tea kind, featuring Ha-
waiian dances and young men with
gardenias, you know. But there's
another kind--the working woman'S
suffrage.
You don't find the trade union
wornan's name among those pres
emit at the Newport suffrage dances
or the White Mountain teas. You
see her name in the roll OF those
present on the docks among the long
shoremen, carrying green banners
and shamrock literature to the Irish,
Italian and Yiddish pamphlets to
distribute at the piers. They as.s
talking to the freight handlers and
subway excavators. They are not

Evils of Private Ownership.
litor of The Tribune.

Tc the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Theodore Michel wishes TO know
whether results make it appear that pri-
vate ownership has made mess of the pro-
ducton, distribution and operation OF ma
chinery." The correct answer is that it
certainly has.
Under the heading Of production, the in
dictment against private ownership Is tha'
il has led TO vast amount of adulteration
Justification and substitution of shoddy for
sound materials for profit. The lnvestIga
ton that is being carried on by Samuel
Hopkins Adams under the direction OF tn
Tribune is furnishing the public with a
glimpse of this great sore spot on modern
industry.
That private ownership of social tools has
resulted in vast and dangerous inequalities
in the distribution of wealth should be ap-
parent to ALL Just how glaring this in
equality is may be seen from the followIn
facts: Less than one-tenth of the males OF
the United States earn $500 or over year.
Nine per cent of the population owns 70.5
per cent of the wealth, 30 per cent owns
25.3 per cent, 70.1 per cent owns AZ per
cent Ten millions of our people are In a
condition of poverty which does not permit
them to live with reasonable decency.
The operation of machinery under private
ownership, instead of being the smooth run
ming affair that a properly organized social
system would provide for, is characterized
by inefficiency, welter and confusion. With
the suffering from unemployment in our
own country rivalling the horrors of the wal
in Europe, it would be far fetched to de
scribe as a success the prevailing mode OF
industrial operation. Nor is the prestige OF
the present system increased by the con-
stantly recurring struggles between capital
and labor, o. which the tragedy at Roose-
welt, ~ j., IS the latest example. Finally
the whole barbaric system caters TO the
god Mars, and makes peace a myth and war
4 certainty as long as it lasts.
f. w. VAN VALKENBURGH.
East Orange, ~ j., March 2, 1915.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-06
For Promoter Justice.

Senator Mills's bill proposing reor-
ganization of the inferior criminal courts
of the city comes from the committee on
criminal courts of the Charity Organi-
zation Society. 1t proposes, by consoli-
dation of the Court of Special Sessions
and the magistrates courts, TO do away
with what amounts to a double trial,
with delay and double expense, when a
prisoner is arraigned now, charged with
a misdemeanor. Magistrates made
members Of the new court would have
the powers of justices of Special Ses-
sions, and instead of holding the priS-
oner for trial after examining witnesses,
could try him in the first place.
Many persons idea of courts and JUS
tee is gained entirely from. the inferior
criminal courts. For that reason, if for
no other, the procedure there should be
as decent, as fair, as speedy, as is pos
sbIe. The laws delay bears harder on
the poor man than on any other. The
laws delay which keeps prisoners for
weeks in the Tombs awaiting trial is an
injustice to them and shame to the city.
This bill would remedy that and would
tend to bolster up many other weak
points in the inferior courts system
which have been disclosed since the exist
ing inferior criminal courts act was
adopted 1t would quicken the ma
chinery Of justice and help officials and
the public. 1t deserves especial consid-
Grafton at the hands of the Legislature.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-06
Small Change Naval Reforms.

The conference report on the naval
appropriation bill, which Congress ac-
cepted, went little way toward repair
ing obvious deficiencies in the naval SER
vice. 1t provided for the establishment
of much needed reserve composed Of
honorably discharged or transferred
sailors. 1t also retained the Senate
amendment reviving the grades of ad-
miral and vice-admral for the benefit q.
the commander and the second
in command. respectively, of the At
lantic, the Pacific and the Asiatic fleets.
American officers in American or Asiatic
waters will no longer be outranked by
foreign officers with commands Of much
less Importance.
These two minor concessions to the
needs Of modern navy are, of course,
welcome, coming as they do from q Con-
gress which has shown so little concern
about our military unpreparedness. But
what a pitiful response they constitute
to a nationwide demand for measures
which will really modernize our system
Of defence!
The spirit in which the administration
has triied with the whole question Of
preparedness is patty illustrated in the
muddling Of the plan to put the control
of the purely military policy of the navy
into the hands of experts. The House
Committee on Naval Affairs recon-,
mended the creation Of Bureau of Op-
erations in the Navy Department which
should be responsible for the navy's
fighting efficiency. Here was a promise
of that centralized expert control from
the lack of which the service has always
suffered. The House killed the pro-
vision, the Senate restored it. and in the
conference report, apparently at Secre-
tary Daniels's suggestion, it was whit
tied down to the mere creation of
another innocuous department bureau,
without either responsibility or power.
The head of the Bureau of Operations
does not need to be of higher rank than
captain. He will not have the assistance
of other naval experts. He will act en-
tirely under the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Navy. The formulation of
the military policy of the service will re-
main with the General Board, whose
recommendations Mr.. Daniels has dis.
regarded and will no doubt continue to
disregard
The Wilson regime thus refuses to
take the first great step toward modern
organization in the navy. But the coun-
try will see to it that that step is taken
before long.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-06
The Tenement Dwellers' Fight.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Who is to take up the fight for the
tenement house dwellers of our city,
According to the newspaper articles being
published on the Lockwood -Elenbogcn bill
We will be left practically without a tene-
mont house law, or department. II the tene-
ment house law is not good one. why was
it made, and why has it taken fourteen
years to find that it conflicts with the regu-
lations of some other department?
As matter of fact the Tenement House
Department does not conflict with any other
department so that one would notice it, ex-
ccpt the greedy tenement house landlord
ald he is opposed TO all laws which require
him to keep his building in a decent con-
diton; always has been and always will be
Tenement houses never were in such ex.
cniient condition in New York City as they
are az the present time. due to the com
petent enforcement of the law. This
know from my own experience as a tenant
Your paper has always been a friend Ia
the people who are not able, individually
or financially, to fight laws detrimental tc
their health and welfare. am sure you
WI! nor fail us now. K. J. MACK.

A New Spirit.

The fve-cent telephone rate agreed on
by the telephone company and the legls-
lative committee is bound to be good
thing for this city. It is entirely likely
to be a good thing for the telephone
company also, for in other large cities
Of the country where a five-cent call
exists there Is a larger percentage OF
telephones TO population than there is
here. On the same line Of reasoning 1t
NAV be recalled that the gas companies
have newer been more prosperous than
since the passage of the SO-cent gas law.
1t is greatly to the credit of both par
ties that the material reductions in pros
pect will be the result of arbitration
and agreement rather than Of Public
Service Commissions order or legisla-
ton. The public will get the benefit
without the expense and loss of time Of
the other method. Once before the tele-
phone company voluntarily made reduc-
tions in its city schedules. This time
its attitude was thus stated by Mr..
Swayze. its counsel: at is willing to go
far to avoid the possibility of litigation,
which would necessarily be extremely
annoying and expensive to all concerned.
To retain and strengthen, if possible, the
good will it now enjoys, the company will
assent t. a revision Of the rates"
When corporations meet public SER
wants in that spirit, the public is pretty
sure to be pleased with the result of the
negotiations.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-06
A Republican View.

Elsewhere on this page to-day appears
a letter written by Mr.. Philip j. McCook,
first president of the Young Republican
Club of this town, discussing the views
of MIR. Lindon Bates, jr., printed few
days earlier.
Like Mr.. Bates's letter, Mr.. McCook's
was written at the request of The Tribr
une, not with the purpose of opening a
controversy, but merely to obtain opin-
ions from representative Progressives
and Republicans on present political
views held by the young men Of both or
ganizations. The Tribune is grateful to
both gentlemen FOR their frankness and
courtesy.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-06

in 1853 has long been accepted as one of
the mile posts. For the Near East, If
not for Europe, the second fall will hard
ly be less memorable. For the Serb, the
Greek, the Bulgar, it will mean the final
assurance Of freedom from the old mas
ter. the infidel and the tyrant. For Rus
sia it will mean the open door TO the sea,
so long sought, so frequently lost at the
last moment, after gallant and successful
fighting.
In the Great War it will mean the
collapse of the first Of Germany's allies,
TO be followed by fresh onslaught upon
Austria from all sides, perhaps from
Rumania and Italy. For It is TO Francis
Joseph that the Sultan will resign the
title of "Sick Man Of the East For
Germany it will mean the end of the
dream that was embodied in the Bagdad
railroad and saw ono central empire
Of the Teuton extending not from the
"Etsch unto the Belt" but from the
Rhine TO the Euphrates, to the marches
Of India-and beyond.
But to the Turk it may mean rest at
last from the conquest of worlds in which
he was not interested, escape from that
destiny" statesmen so often seek to
impose upon reluctant people. In the
six centuries which separate the two
struggles about Gallipoli ne has paid
the price of empire in full. His passing,
the latest fall of Constantinople, will be
the most dramatic incident in the war
to the present hour. 1t may easily be a
date forever memorable in human his
tory.
