Quit Dodging Suffrage!

For several weeks the Senate judiciary
Committee has been delaying action on the
woman suffrage constitutional amendment,
ostensibly at the request Of Senator Brown,
the Republican leader, who is personally
opposed to the measure. 1t is time that
such delay be ended. The amendment
should be acted on favorably at the COM
mittee meeting to-day.
An idea is widely prevalent that the
measure is to be killed by delay and in
direction. That is highly unfortunate
unfortunate for Senator Brown, who has
stood as the chief of the opposition; IN
fortunate for those members of the Sen
ate committee who are in favor Of the
amendment, since they cannot permanent
w take refuge from criticism for inaction
lehind Senator Browns coattails; un-
fortunate for the Republican party, which
in this critical campaign year should he
free from any suspicion of unfair dealing
en- the part of its representatives. The
way to counterfeit that idea is for any
existing embargo on the amendment to be
lifted, so that a fair vote on it may be
taken in committee and it may have free
consideration on the floor of the Senate.
The suffrage movement in this state is
too big to strangle. 1t has TO its credit
more than half million votes. The meas
ure to enfranchse women might, con-
ceivably, be strangled in committee; 1t
might by sharp parliamentary practice
be killed in the rush of legislation at the
end of the session. But for any legis-
lators to lend themselves to such futile
trick-still worse, for any party organiza-
ton to be part of such scheme-would
be foolish in the superlative degree, for
it would invite sure and speedy punish
ment from the voters. Already Senator
Brown has stirred up wrath against his
party by his course of delay. TO continue
it will inevitably intensity that wrath
which assuredly would be countable in
votes on Election Day.
The demand for equal suffrage is de
mand for equal rights, duties, privileges
before the law, regardless Of sex. Any
legislator who believes in sex inequality
and sex privilege is entirely within his
rights in voting against a measure to en-
franchise women. But a legislator who
lends himself to any scheme to kill that
measure by indirection or to prevent the
fullest and freest discussion and vote on
it is fatally shortsighted The women
who desire the franchise and the 10000
voters who want them TO have it are en-
titled TO the fairest of dealing from the
Legislature.
The shifting, evasion, delay, to which
their representatives advocating the
amendment, have been subjected is not
fair treatment. 1t is high time for Sen
ator Brown and the Republicans who, be-
ing the majority, are responsible TO the
people for the doings of the Legislature,
to turn over a new leaf if they value the
pubic's confidence and the political sup
port which follows confidence.

A Warning.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Germany is taking her first step for
war with America by preparing to transfer
her shipping in our ports to the nominal
American ownership Of Edward y. Bretung
She wisely does this to prevent its being
seized. 1t is significant that she is about
TO do the same thing in Brazil, country
the Allies might well allow her to annex IN
lieu Of her lost colonies. The peace terms
are not going to be wholly in favor of one
side, and there will be good deal Of give
and take.
The drive at Verdun during the inclement
weather and impossible roads OF early spring
indicates the beginning Of the end. and
look for no let-up in the fighting until the
peace protocol is signed This scrap OF
paper, unless it il torn up. will leave Ger
many free from the possibility Of invasion
by a first class power. and # she does no,
take advantage Of this unique situation to
replenish her empty Golfers and pay an ade-
quate indemnity to the Allies, al our ex-
pense, it will be because human nature has
suddenly changed for the better.
II is too late TO build a navy. II may be
too late to arm and equip an army. 1t is
not too late TO join the Allies, redeem our
honor and be safe from invasion for a gen

OPERA TICKETS AND SCALPERS
Spectators Get Many, While Gus
toners at Box Office Cant Buy.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: For the third time this season have
been disappointed in getting seats to hear
Miss Farrar sing Carmen at the Metropoli-
tan. Wednesday morning I was one of the
early ones, despite the storm, to stand in
line and await my turn at the ticket window,
When finally got to the box Office, after an
hours waiting, | was suavely but firmly told
that no more tickets were to be had. ! made
the following rejoinder: "You have sold out
very quickly The man in the box Office re-
piled: Certainly have I told him that
they were not dealing square with the public
and undoubtedly the "scalpers' got all the
tickets they wanted.
In the neghborhood Of the box Office were
three men, who gave me a sneering smile at
the mention of the word "scalpers." They
seemed to enjoy the embarrassment of my
self and others who had 20 turn away upon
learning that no seats were for sale for
Carmen A young lady the 18th in line,
with tears - her eyes told me that she finds
it difficult 20 get tickets worth having for
any of the operas az the box Office, but she
would have no trouble in getting them from
the "scalpcrs" providing she was willing TO
pay their price.
When ! came outside Of the theatre Iwas
confronted by eight "scalpers' telling each
other how many tickets each was able 10 Sc
cure for the operas during the balance of the
season.

tickets for Carmen" while another laughing

policemen. sent there no doubt at the re-
quest of the Metropolitan management to
watch the people and keep them in order, but
these minions Of the law had eyes that saw
not the "scalpcrs." although these policemen
must have known why they were hanging
about the opera house. On opera nights these

nowhere else. Managers care very little FOR
the feelings Of the public SO long as they

Fear Pleads for Armaments

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The shock of war, the fear and ex-
ultation it inspires, seems to dull the critical
faculties of ordinarily sane and reasonable
minds. Only in this way can | account for
the ready and popular acceptance Of the
ridiculous balderdash that makes up most of
the arguments for preparedness. All regard
for truthfulness and consistency is aban-
doned, the most misleading analogies are
paraded to inspire alarm. and dishonest
understatemen,s of our defences are con-
stantly employed to stampede the people into
a preG pitate and i'll considered programme
Of national defence" a euphemSm for mill
tarsm in every land.
l was pointing out the fallacies and con-
tradctions of the arguments for prepared
ness to friend recently. He is a lawyer a
Spanish War veteran. man whose mind has
been trained 70 reason cogently He frankly
admitted the contradictions and absence of
logic in the case for preparedness, but he de-
clared I'VE have the fact" lie had. Il was
fear. And that alone. Fear that human
nature had suddenly changed in this stress of
war and that people could no longer trust
each other. Fear that nations just en-
lghtened as our own, from whom We in fact
borrowed our civilization and ethics, would
turn pirate and hold US up Il does 70
good to prove that they couldn't II they
would. and wouldn't If they could hold US
up: that peaceful trade is infinitely more
profitable than armed conquest and that COM

war is over our hysterical friends may re.

Railway Car Wheels.

Everybody knows how the wheels of A railroad car are fastened to the axle. They are shrunk on-that Is, put on hot and allowed to shrink in cooling so that they are practically solid piece with the axle. These cars go around curves, and 1t will be observed that the outer rail covers a great deal more ground than the inner one, so that to turn the curves and finish even the outside wheel must of necessity travel considerably faster than the inner one. Yet 1t is fixed sOlidly to the axle and cannot make a fraction of a revolution more :han the other one, yet the axle remains Intact, and the curves are passed with untiring regularity.
