COMMUNICATION

JUNEAU, Feb. 1.-Editor of The Empirc-Your report of the address of Mrs. c. D. Murane, given at the lest meeting Of the ". C. T. U. of this city, does her an injustice.
 Mrs. Murane did not say that Two. men with no children could not set the right example in the communi- ties by supporting Christian actiyi- ties" Neither did she say anything to justify the heading of your report. "Chlldless Woman Hit"
 What Mrs Muranc did say was, that any woman so unfortunate as to have no child could find oDpor- tunily for Christian activity in the community and general welfare work, and thus give the time which oth- erwise would be taken in the care Of children to the general good
 ! trust that you will make this correction in justice to Mrs. NIurane and her excellent address.
 MRS. J. II. CONDIT,
 President of the W. c. T. U.

PECULIAR ARGUMENT

The Republican Publicity Association" which is still sending attacks the Wilson administration and other classes O, political dope" offers the fol lowing from the Philadelphia Inquirer for use during the current week:
 The eleven s,ates which formed the Con- sejeracy had & population in 1910 of over 2O.- 100000 and at present Of more than 2200oCOO. These cast l7N&0DO votes, or considerably fewer. than tEe state Of Illinois alone. Of course in the latter women voted. but the poin; Is that no, only the law allowed them co vote on age and normal conditions but that they did so. These Southern States cast l-6 electoral votes. The l26 electoral votes of New I--k. syIyauia. Illinois and New Jersey were bacEei by 5.41100O voters, or nearly 500000O male yoters-a,mOst three to for the Southern vote.
 New York with iOrjytyc electoral votes cast almost as many personal votes did the eleven Southern States This is ineQuitable t is unjust and it is unconstitutional It was through this that Wilson secured his majority in the Electoral College against the Consti- tuition of the United States. Much is being made Ot the fact that Wilson had aa actual plurality over Hughes of nearly 569OOO. His plurality n the eleven States mentioned was over SO0,WOp. !. the South which by uu- fair use of its usurped power elected Wilson in the Electoral College and gave him the ap- pe1raDce oG being the popular choice.
 Considering that the great States of wealth and intelligence for Hughes. the Republican Party may rest content with the victory of unrecoDztructed Bour5ons and hys- terical women
 Overlooking the last paragraph which answers itself the remainder of the argument is favorable to Wilson rather than otherwise. The West and South do not need defense against the charge that they are composed Of "unreconstructed Bourbous" and "hyzterical women" Nor is it necessary to resent the assertion tha. "he great States Of wealth and intelligence" consist of New York, Pennsylvania Hi Eois and New Jersey.
 The cause for the small vote in the South is the

AS TO CRIMINAL COURTS
lCincinnati Enrnirnrl

! lDllclnAaO klQurer) When Harry Thaw walked out of the comDIaisant Courts of New York free and was lonized by the mob, occasion was taken in these columns de- p.orc the injury that had been done the law through this outrage from justice. Even farther went the criticism, the disease that is destroying American ur- isprudence, and he was accused of his patent share in the transaction.
 Prediction made that all those concerned would live to the day that they consented to the action of freeing the maniac This has been verified by the remarkable events of the past few days. Whether Thaw lives dies is not of consequence to the community, but U is essential that death should come to the thought in many thousand minds, taught by his example, that a rich is above the criminal law
 There is no more reprehcnsibIe record in the law reports than the Thaw case, and the members of the legal profession will do w 10 come together and eradicate the stain upon the page There is. too nothing more criminal in the United States than the frequent practice of the criminal law courts. This is the solemn conviction of one who President of the United States and also a great jurist who ad, journed the Federal and State benChes-Wliam How. ard Taft Left alone is will breed plauge of Thaw cases.
