Women, Uplift and the Weed.

Not since that eminent Puritan Little
Tim" Sullivan passed to his reward has
there been an authoritative voice raised In
this town against smoking by women.
Little Tim" if our memory is not at
fault, introduced into the Board of Alder
men an ordinance forbidding smoking on
the part of women in any public restau-
rants or places of entertainment, though
what became of this futile protest against
the resistless tide of emancipatory prog
ress. whether it failed of passage or was
passed and forgotten, we can't recall. In
any case. though seriously debated only a
few short years ago, it sounds, in the light
of present practice and tolerance, like one
of the blue laws of Connecticut. A gulf
divides that day Of ancient prejudice and
this.
The new Women's City Club, on the
eighteenth floor of the Vanderbilt Hotei,
is a product of the times, and no more
emphatically than in its rules regarding
smoking. To-day its members may smoke
in every room in the club, though Miss
Marjorie Driscoll, the manager, is serious
ly considering setting apart one room as
a non-smoking room, a pronounced con-
cession. The ladies meet there to discuss
prison reform, pure milk, better schools,
clean streets-all in haze of incense from
the fragrant weed. How Little Tim
would have bucked such an institution of
uplift as sink of female depravity, an
example in debauchery to the youth of
the ethyl Yet to-day no pious son of the
Wigwam appears eager to assail these re-
formers for their odor of cigarette smoke.
And as for the rest of US, we are half
inclined to believe that the measures for
mulated by this public spirited organiza-
ton will be all the better for their con-
ception between puffs. Smoking induces
greater contemplation, discourages gossip
calms the emotions. In brief, it turns
takers into listeners. In women's club
could one ask more of any agency?

Mr.. Read Testified.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In an editorial appearing in this
mornings paper you state:
"Mr. Read, fortunately, is alive, and from
the description Mr. Shonts has given of him
should provide entertaining testimony"
The above creates an impression that Mr..
Read has not testified, and ask permission
to call your attention TO the fact that he
testified before the Thompson legislative
committee on September 20, 1915. | quote
the following from his testimony:
@. Did you know. Mr. Read. of any state
ment being made by any one in the board of
directors that fund had been raised by VOL
untary contributions for the purpose of pro-
noting the execution of the dual contracts,
called? A. No, sir.
@. Ever hear that subject discussed? A.
No. sir
Q. Either in or out of the board? A. No,
sir
q. Had you any reasons to suppose at the
time the proposition was presented for the
approval OF the executive committee that any
such fund had been created and expended ?
A. No, sir.
@. Don't you think Mr.. Shonts had some
ether object? A. No.
2. Didn't the suspicion occur to you that
there might be something behind a thing like
this? \. don't like to have suspicious.

Again Seeking Blood-Money.

Defeated last year in their endeavor to

of work a week for women and children,
the upstate Gamers have renewed their
campaign. They do not have to go to the
Legislature this year. The State indus

have been charged with neglect of duty

can grant the petition of the Gamers by
adopting special exemptions. And, un-
fortunately, there appears to be some dis
position to do it.
Lawyers for the Gamers argue that the
present laws are unenforceable. The peo-
pie in the localities want to work extra
hours, they assert; and it is practically
impossible to find jury to convict a
Gamer Of violations of the labor law.
Strange to say, Messrs. Lynch and
Mitchell, both labor union men, seem to
agree with them to the extent of conceding
that unenforceable laws are useless.
If that is to be the stand of the Indus
trial Commission the whole fabric of the
lahor laws might as well be thrown into
the dust-heap. If they are going to admit
that because certain grasping Gamers.
seeking to coin the sweat and blood of
women and minor employees into profits,
deliberately break the laws those laws
should be repealed, they are officials false
to their trust and recreant to all humani-
tartan tenets.
The fact that criminals exist is no argu-
ment against maintenance of the laws
which they break. In the present instance
the situation is easily understood. The
Gamers are the big men in their vicinity.
All the farmers round about want to sell
produce TO them and are under their con-
trDl to that extent. What seems TO be the
interest of the Gamer becomes the farmers
interest. AS jurymen, obviously they will
be. and are, reluctant TO return a verdict
against their friends and partners. the
Gamers. Under the circumstances it is
easy for some INSCRIPTIONS Gamers to
break the laws. They find no difficulty in
forcing women and minors TO work illegal
hours, for if one will not that individual
loses the job and another is hired who will
Under such competition systematic law
breaking is established.
This condition is far from general how
ever according TO report made by Labor
Commissioner Lynch in 1914, after several
months experience with the law. He de-
clared then that "the fact that so many
Gamers conducted their business without
violation of law" argued for the merit
of that statute He added; Following,
therefore, this principle that it IS the

This statement has never been publicly
withdrawn. Democratic Congressman are
therefore unable to see how the surrender

bidding Americans TO travel on armed bel

the misconceptions of national honor and
duty which are so prevalent to-day IN
Democratic ranks at the Capitol. Mr.. Will

1t is well for both sides in the present

honor and patriotic duty.

A Seaman's Estimate of the Pro-
visions of the Seaman's Act.

few remarks concerning that r'sa-es$
called the seaman a,t. a more hitting tlt'e
would be "An act to stranglc American com
mcrce" Devised by n California labor agita-
tor and that misft Senator from Wisconsin,
il is ono of the worst pieces OF Legislation
forced upon the country by the wild-eyed
theorists who compose the majority OF the
present Congress.
Section 13 of the scaman's net PROVIDES
that no vessel of 100 tons or over shall clear
from any port in the United States unless
she has on board crew rs per cent OF whom
arc able to understand the orders OF the
officers Forty per cent of the deck ere"
must be certified able scamen. To obtain
such n certificate a man must have had three
wears experience and have passed physioal
examination as to eyesight and htness ior
duty as a sailor. In practice this reduces inc
number of elgibles so much that strike ior
any cause would tic up vessels IN every port
Of the United States.
A captain Of an American vessel told me
Of an experience he had with a man WIN
carried one Of these certificates. The man
was a landubber didn't know anything ABOUT
a ship; had never been to sea. when ques
toned as 70 his possession OF an A. b. certIh-
cate. he said he bought il on South street ior
half n dollar of sailor who said he couio
easily secure another.
Another section provides that when m
American vessel touches port each sailor on
board shall receive from the master On de
mand onc-haf the wages due him. ms
secures for the master the delightful tash o.
working ship with drunken crew.
On page 81 Of the law governing the steam 70
boat Inspection Service provision IS made
that vessels Of 400 feet and under shall have
twelve cork rings, six of which shall be
luminous and one each side provided with
lifeline Of not less than fifteen fathoms. IN
other words. New York Harbor tug OF hlty

ouired to carry the same lifesaying equip
ment as an ocean liner
And this is not all. Any foreign vessel can

"A Paper Army or a Real Army?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: wish that your admirable edl'or'al
under the above title in to-day's issue could
be copied by every newspaper in the land
and that every citizen interested in prepared
ness would call it to the attention ot ms
Senator as expressive Of his views of the
requirements of the situation.
II is now so clear that all other plans save
the paper militia plan have been done to
death in the House that our last hope with
this Administration rests in the Senate
where we are told that substantial increase
in the regular army is in course Of receiving
careful attention.
"Our military necessities in the opinion
of those best qualified to judge" as you so
well say, require a permanent hrst line loree
under arms of 100000"
But those best qualified to judge" are
precisely the people that the House ignores.
This body of three hundred and odd well
meaning and ordinarily intelligent laymen
stands charged with the duty to decide what
is essentially an expert question, and these
gentlemen, as ignorant OF the military art
as the rest Of US, have not hesitated to set
up their own views on this life and death
matter against the views Of all the compe-
tent experts.
Qualified experts have assured us that
federalzed militia can never become mod
ern field force for adequate defence either
by one and a half hours drill a week in an
armory or by Federal pay, or by anything
that forty-eight sovereign states and the
Federal government can separately or to-
gether do for it.
The Senate should be supported in insis>-
ing upon its views of regular army en-
larged TO the number advocated by the more
conservative military experts to whom the
Senate at least seems inclined TO listen.

Fewer Railroad Accidents.

(FrOm The Boston HefGid)
Fewer passengers were killed on American
railroads in 1915 than in any year since
1898, and when we 60 back so far as that we
find the railroads doing less than four-ffths
Of their present passenger business.
The number of employees killed in 1915 was
less than any other year since 1898, which
seems to have been recordbreaker in its
day And there were then only hall as many
employees as there are now.
In the number injured we have just had
the best year for passengers since 1906, and
for employees since 1911, returns which score
not quite so much advance as in the list of
deaths, but still a material Improvement.
By comparison with 1914, the year just
closed Marked according to "The Railway
Age Gazette" "the greatest improvement in
safety of operation ever recorded in a sin
gle year" And the figures are taken from the
annual bulletin of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Who built the legend of our liberty
We linger silent in the shadows dim
To greet again the legend of the free.
Winters white chain has fallen from the

Sunshine droops sweet against the listen

Victories glorious again have birth
Wrapped in the cloud mist where the
colors fly.
Hark to the armies marching through the
years
The drums, the bugle call, the sword, the
shield,
The camp fires signal and the ringing
cheers
The brave white faces on the battle
field.
Our dead call TO us from that garden
grave,
Salute the flag! Above the granite arch
Waken once more-oh, children of the
brave!
Look up. Beyond the gateway as you
