Raisuli Surrenders.

RAIsuLT, probably the most auda-
cious bandit who ever marauded his
way into history, is officially reported
tc have surrendered to Spanish
troops. For more than a generation
he was thorn in the side of the
Moroccan Government and of the
European Powers who interested
themselves in Moroccan affairs.
His activities touched America only
once. That was in June, 1904, when
he kidnapped an American citizen,
Ion PERDICARIs, and JOHN HAY, then
Secretary Of State, sent his famous
message to the American Consul at
Tangier: I'VE want PERDIcARIs alive
or RArsuLr dead"
That laconic demand, commonly
credited to THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
thrilled the country. The sudden,
tremendous response which greeted
1t was a surprise to HAY. He wrote
the day after in his diary: "My tele-
gram to GuMMERE had an uncalled
for. success. 1t is curious how con-
else impropriety hits the public"
1t had the effect upon the Sultan OF
Morocco which 1t was intended to
have. He met RAlsULIs demands to
the letter, restoring to him his hon.
ors and property and paying the
$4,000 ransom which RAIsULI asked.
But the bandits terms were not
meant as his price for being good.
Three years later he kidnapped Sir
HARRY MCLEAN, the Sultan's military
instructor. He demanded and he got
the governorship of large Moroccan
province, large supply of arms and
ammunition, and 1900 in cash. He
exacted in addition a promise that his
fortress should be rebuilt. RAIsULr
had the grand manner. He dictated
not as an outlaw might but in the
fashion of warning king delivering
his terms to the conquered.
No legends lsprang up telling of
RArsULI's kindness to the poor, of dar-
ing strokes in behalf Of Justice. He
is by no means Moroccan Robin
Hood. although, like Robin, he is of
noble birth---a shereef. claiming de-
scent from MoHAMMED. Apparently
RAIsuLr was a bandit by choice.
When he got the governorship of the
province he demanded he restored
order there, but in recent years he
has been carrying on his depredations
within 100 miles Of Tangier.

Women at the Conventions.

One pf the contrasts between the
State conventions this week has been
the part played by women. At AL
bany they were an important element
not as feminists but members OF
the Republican party interested in
its general welfare and eager also
to remove whatever inequalities still
exist between men and women in the
business Of life and government.
At Syracuse the. women delegates
and spectators seemed lost behind the
male battle line. True, the women's
division Of the Democratic State Com
mittee adopted and sent to Mr.. MUIR
rHY some resolutions demanding the
nomination Of AL SMITH This was a
sign Of woman's unerring instinct;
a man green in politics would have
sent the resolution to the CONVEX
tion instead of to the Boss.
At the Republican gathering the
women took their places and did
their work as IL they had been of
long experience in politics. The con-
vention received them as they de-
served to be received, the equals of
Esen. The women's most important
work was getting into the platform
rlanks calling for an investigation
Ct the laws pertaining to women's
rights in domicile, property and
guardianship and children; and for
law extending women's rights in
State party committees.
The convention saw women second
Ing the nominations Of Governor
MILLER, Senator CALDER and other
candidates. 1t saw women respond
ing to the fine spirit Of the hour
with refreshing zest. 1t saw them
going out Of the convention full of
enthusiasm for the ticket and the
platform. The first State convention
in which women participated found
the women alive to their privileges
'and responsibilities.
The old parties always need new
blood. Before the women were en-
franchised the parties had to depend
upon young men, first voters, for
their renewal Of life. Now women
by thousands, awake to the value of
the ballot, are pouring into the po-
litical camps. At the Republican
State convention they were welcomed
as they deserved to be-

With stately SWANS beneath these

Ladies' in spreading hoops and powdered

bend,

Obey Traffic Rules.
Moral Of nm Incident at a Crowded
Fifth Avenue Corner.

To TIE New York HERALD: Persons
In Fifth avenue at Forty-second street
ON Tuesday morning saw a large. pow-
erful man attempt to cross the avenue
when north and south traffic had the
right OF way. He was warned back by
one of the policemen guarding the oppo-
site curb. but disregarded the warning
and succeeded in reaching the other side
of the street
The policeman stepped sQuarely in
front of him and pushed him back step
by step across the avenue to the place
from where he started while an increas-
ing crowd looked on with amusement
and approval. What the man said would
probably not do to print even II had
heard II; but the policeman controlled
his temper Had the man attempted to
resist he might have been more than a
match for the policeman: and In fact
the difference in their height and weight
made the scene all the more interesting
to onlookers
A considerable experience both In the
city and on country highways long aso
convinced me that it is never good pol
ley to talk back. not to say resist, a
trafiic officer. Had the man been under
some urgent necessity to cross at once
1t is quite possible that whispered bit
of information to the policeman might
have resulted In permission to 60
through. But the attempt to use force
to get through put him in the wrong
and at the same time put the policeman
on his mettle.
The fact that evidently the entire
crowd was In sympathy with the traffic
policeman indicates that the great ma
jority of pedestrians are willing to ac-
cept the regulations and stand ready to
uphold a policeman In the discharge of
his duty. In the rare cases In which
persons do attempt to cut across as soon
as they are told to step back they
usually do so without expressing their
opinions. 1t Is the better way

Disarning the Criminal.

The United States Revolver Asso-
ciation, composed Of men interested
in revolver and pistol practice and
the proper use of such firearms" is
working to secure the passage In all
the States Of uniform law regulat-
ing the sale and possession of pistols
and revolvers. The nGoposed law will
be modelled after a bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator CAPPER, the
provisions of which would apply only
to the District of Columbia.
Senator CAPPER's bill is intended
to make 1t possible for law abiding
citizens to obtain revolvers for the
protection Of life and property and
at the same time to make their pur-
chase more difficult for criminals.
The bill also imposes heavy penal
ties for the possession Of revolver
by a person committing or attempt
ing to commit a felony. The penal
ties would increase in severity with
each repetition of the offense. A
fourth offense would permit life i'm
Drisonment.
These penalties, IL strictly en-
forced, might result in some measure
OF disarmament among burglars and
ether criminals. They could not be
expected to effect more than slight
change, because a man who is break
ing one law is not likely to hesitate
over breaking two.
The revolver association empha-
sizes that section Of Senator CAPPER's
bill which provides that mono but
citizens personally known to the
seller or who present clear evidence
Of their identity shall be legally en-
titled to purchase q revolver. The
only trouble with this provision IL
that II won't work. Reputable deal
crs would exercise care in the sale
Of revolvers, just as reputable dealers
do in New York to-day, but there
would be enough dealers willing t.
take chance who would keep the
criminals armed.
The bill would require that M
weapon be delivered to the purchaser
until a day after the sale. 1t would
require every purchaser, to sign Q
record Of sale, duplicate Of which
would go to the police. II would for

Herbs Indians Use.
Some Have Healing Properties,
Others Drive to Madness.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The call
from a correspondent Of your paper for
botanical identification of the reJuve-
mating herb or shrub or weed known in
ancient Syria and Armenia as the healer
and also the plea for more careful study
of weeds and shrubs to determine which
have any medicinal properties suggest
possibilities Of Identifying some weeds
In this country as of curative value to
man.
In my own experience among Indian
tribes In California / have seen a shrub
used as a reputed poison oak cure. This
herb seemingly always grows In con-
venient proximity to poison oak patches.

The upper surface of the leaf Is dark

fresh leaves are rubbed between the
palms with a vigorous crushing move
ment until a greenish Juice shows upon
the hands and then that slight moisture
Is rubbed gently upon exposed parts OF
face, neck, wrists or wherever else skin
contact is possible with the leaves OF
the poison oak or with the practically
invisible fine yellow pollen waited from
the tiny flowers. Indians have assured
me that this is a sure preventive OF
poisoning.
never have seen an Indian in either
the United States or Mexico suffering

Among the comanches In Texas years

due OF fiber. = This precaution the In

Coal Mine Feast or Famine.

1t is not unusual in these post
strike days to read of the high earn
ings of coal miners. JOHN SLIFKo,
Tor example, earned 1924 at his work
for the Fredericktown Coal and Coke
Company in the first two weeks of
September and in the next two weeks
1850, or 1854 in the four weeks. Many
rnen now digging coal are drawing
more than $100 week.
But while this shows that the coal
mine wage scales give big returns,
when there is plenty of work, to men
that want to work, it does not show
that the average soft coal miner can
get steady work and make decent
living under normal conditions. 1t
does not show that the average soft
coal mine can operate at full capacity
and make a decent living under nor
NAL conditions.
The coal miner and his family have
tc face their living expenses every
day in the year whether he works
800 days or 100 days out Of the year.
The coal mine has to face its fixed
charges every day in the year
whether 1t operates or whether it is
smut down. The trouble with them
is that there are too many lost days
for both.
The bituminous industry as whole
Las been in economic chaos for years.
Except In extraordinary circum-
stances like the war or the present
forced draft drive to renew exhausted
coal supplies before the rigors OF
winter set in there has been no
market for all the coal that could
be mined and there has been no en-
pIoyment for all the miners whose
bread and butter depend upon dig
ging coal.
The coal business is on the boom
now. Wage earners in the mines that
have resumed after the strike are in
clover. But when this ephemeral
burst of high speed production is over
the business, as it is now conditioned.
will tend to drift back to the old
misfortune, disorder and strife.
When the so-called fact finding coal
commission has dug to the bottom OF
soft coal mining conditions 1t will
know, and its purpose should be to
make the Government and the public
know, that soft coal mining, as a
sound business proposition, never
can be right, with more stable en-
ployment and production and a
rnore certain supply for the pub
lie at all times. and that soft coal
mining cannot be free from strikes
that are like war until there is a
complete reorganization of the whole
industry. The way to begin to work
out that reorganization, as THE New
YoRK HERALD sees IL and urges upon
the attention of the mine owners and
the Government, is on the basis Of
putting all the mines into few great
operating groups.
Under this system, with private
ownership but with Government
regulation, the fat mine could help
carry the lean mine, costs could be
made more uniform and continuous
operation of such group mines as
were operated could be assured. Per-
rpanency OF employment would be es-
tablished for given number Of min
srs, the others finding new fields in
which to gain their livelihoods, the
public would get its coal supply with

Wild dogs are presenting a serious
