Repeal the Sullivan Law

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: To the evil effects of the Sulli-
van act are due a large percentage of
the revolving crimes so prevalent and
increasing at this time. Any one who
will commit robbery or murder is not
deferred from carrying weapons by any
legislative act, while the Sullivan law
prevents the law-abiding from having
the protection which the possession of a
weapon would afford. Therefore, this
Law is a direct aid to the criminal
cl-ss and menace to our citizens.
The bandit and highwayn,an we'll
know that while committing these
heinous crimes the danger of meeting
with armed resistance is very remote,
Many Of our citizens refrain from max
ing application for u permit to possess
firearms from sense of Injustice of
the law requiring the payment of a
fee to obtain license to protect the
lives of their families and property.

Cinderella Bett
Why Miss Zona Gale Considers 4,
Slavey Theme True to
American Life
To. the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Will you forgive me if quet,
tion your editorial objection to-day q
the motif Of liberation of Miss Lulu
Bett, in my play of that name? Three
questions-rather,. to be. frank, three
answers.
First, the play originally had the
motif which you suggest Lulu Bet
did go out into the world alone. And
nobody liked the last act. Where's,
the moment that it was changedSto the
quite ordinary consummation Of mar
riage the response of. people was
genuine. This is, perhaps, because the
common experience affords as many
examples of marriage as of going ont
into the world alone. ~
Second, to your feeling that women
of Lulu Belts ultimate initiative
would not have been trampled upon for
fifteen years, do you mind my saying:
81 know them" Doesn't every one?
Overshadowed, browbeaten women,
wives or Lulus, who in crises take cen
troll of a situation with an inspired
hand. Liberation is inspiration. It's
there, simply, and then at last it
breaks through. Something, domes-
tic crisis, financial stress, or love;
provides the key. With Lulu 1t was
love.
AS to why they remain so long brow
beaten-whether wives or Lulus--thst
rs another matter. Partly it is the
poison of the duty" session-deAd
duty, that dynamo through which runs
no divine current. I know wife who
for thirty years had probably never re-
ferred to her soul as her own. Then
her husband died. And her sagacity In
disposing of his property made her =
rich woman in a few years.. Partly
they may be held by the Resignation
inhibition. know girl in the Middls
West kitchen OF her wealthy father
who dreamed of an education. There
came camp meeting to the neighbOr-
hood. Now the rich father ssys:
"She's contented enough here. She's
been converted"
Another reason for these Cinders1lss
staying in the ashes is that they so
often live in little towns. Liberation
Is not matter of reading the want
ads. 1t is matter of journey and
uncertainties and terrors. And they
may not have $25 or $40 in the world.
Third, Miss Lulu Bett" is no.
propaganda. 1t does not urge upon
women the desirability Of going oct
into the world. 1t shows one woman,
merely, waking up to new values in
life. And It chances to be iove--And
not art-which awakens her, as from
day to day continues to occur.

Industrial Equality

Governor Miller's declaration for
industrial equality for women is not
to be construed as disapproval Of
all welfare legislation. He en-
phatically states that he is not op-
posed to efforts to better conditions
but feels that some Legislation does
not achieve that result so much as
it limits women's opportunities. He
referred specifically to the statute
prohibiting night work by women,
which he believes has been more in
furious than beneficial.
"If women are to be given equal
political opportunities with men"
he says, "they should not be denied.
on some false grounds, industrial
equality with men," This is in &C
cord with the opinion which demands
for women unrestricted opportuni-
ties in labor and business. There is
no good reason why women should

not dangerous to health and morals.
The present New York law is i'm
perfect in that it is too general.
!. The experience Of European coun-
tries during the war proved that
women could enter most branches Of
industry and do work done formerly
by men. There are in normal times,
Of course, occupations IN which some
safeguards should be thrown about
women workers-those involving un-
usual hazards or severe bodily strain.
But restrictive laws should deal with
these exceptional cases, rather than
aim at enforcing general rule, with
partial and arbitrary exceptions,
which may obstruct industrial free
dom and needlessly limit woman's
opportunity to earn living.

The Battle Of the Skirts

There is nothing like satire as 4
weapon with which to prick solemn
nonsense. The girls of Vassar de-
serve a loud cheer for their effective
reply to the gloomy alumna who por-
trayed the undergraduates as skid
ding to perdition.
Pleasing the conservators of
morals is always difficult job for a
younger generation: No matter
what they dos it is bound to be
wrong. The very folk who conduct
a campaign Of reform in their youth
will in their old age about face and
condemn the very thing which they
argued for.
Take the two crucial articles of
dress In the debate at Vassar, skirts
and corsets. A generation ago doc
tors and every one Of sensible turn
Of mind We're declaiming against the
long skirt that swept the ground as
germ disseminator. The "Rainy
Daisies" endured ridicule in what
was concededly sound cause. Yet
now that sense has finally and com
pletely triumphed, eyes are rolled in
horror at the apparently unforeseen
or unknown fact that higher skirts
meant more leg visibility.
The campaign against tight lacine
has been waged for years by doctors
artists, every one. Even the con.
, ventional and old-fashioned Mr.. Box
campaigned in The Ladies' Home
Journal against the iniquity OF
cramping waist. Here. again, the
reformers apparently never realized
the goal they were laboring toward,
and now that corsets have not only
been loosened but abandoned, the
outcry Of protest Is . resounding din.
D@butantes are damned for doing
exactly what eyery expert has been

Sir: It is logical to suppose that n
the distribution of the medals the al
thorities were influenced by keen de-
sire for the elimination of unnecessary
expense Let us hope that the method
Of distribution, whether eficient or in
efficient, was along lines that did not
entail unnecessary expenditures.
Let us rather thank the government
for giving us the opportunity to take
q "swtpe" at the Boche in 1918 thsn
blame 1t for being tardy IN issuing
medals.
Provided we and the people we love
know that we did our duty, the Victory
Medal has but little value. It's only
merit lies in the fact that it has BEEN
made as token Of our countrymsn's
appreciation Of our efforts would
wager that there are few men whc
were with nae in the summer Of 1918 who
could derive from it any further salts
