= . NO, 19,701 « A LUMBERMEN’S AMENDMENT. © ONE ominous change in the State law proposed in the new) T Constitution The Evening World hee more than ence drawn, attention. The attempt to put the forests of the State at the mercy of » Rine-headed commission filled by the Governor with members holding fice for vine years is scheme that bears the finger-marks of poll-| tieians and lumber syndicates. Boards of such unwieldy eise readily evede responsibility, ‘They are easily packed. In the past they have time and again sanctioned timber cutting raids which, if blocked at all, were blocked with the greatest difficulty. The suthor of the amendment, the New York State Fish, Game and Forest League points out, is the President of » big lumber com- pany which is now being sued by the Conservation Commission for damages of not less than $120,000 for timber removed from land claimed by the State. Lambermen have stripped hundreds of thou- sands of acres in the Adirondacks of every stick of valuable timber Do they now, asks the League, by means of a politically controlled commission, hope to sell these bare lands to the State at fancy prices?) Why should it take nine commissioners to conserve the State forests? The way to keep forest conservation clear of politics is, as we have said before, to put it in the hands of one responsible com- missioner to whom no legislative or other clique can dictate and who will not be a figurehead while secretaries run his department. The proposed amendment is little better than « lumbermen’s plot. It should be voted into limbo. bs ee An inquest on eighteen Zeppelin victims in London showed that half of them, mostly women, died of “heart failure or shook resulting from the terrifying effect of the exploding bombs.” Frightening women to death is star brand “schrecklichelt.” 7 eo ———___—— THE BARALONG. OUNT VON BERNSTORFP'S version of the Baralong incident, C the first story of’ which appeared in The World Oct. %, differs in an important particular, fom the earlier accounts of what happened. The statement filed by the German Ambassador implies that the British patrol boat was still flying the American flag (which she had used as @ disguise) when she began firing on the German submarine. The American sailors on the Nicosian before told a story plainly indi- cating that the Baralong had dropped her side screens (on which American flags were painted), lowered the American flag and run up the British colors before her guns actually opened fire. The rules of warfare on sea permit a belligerent ship to fly any flag up to the moment when she begins to fire. When and as long as she is in action she must show her own flag. It is not yet clear ‘ that the Baralong carried her ruse beyond permissible limits. On the other hand, if the officers and crew of the Baralong shot and killed helpless Germans in the water after the latter had made every signal of surrender, then British seamen were guilty of acts for which any civilized nation would formerly have blushed. In the pres- nt war retaliation and reprisal are fast depressing all standards. ir deceereiin ies ‘To-morrow New Jersey answers the Question. eto ——__ THE POLICE REPORT. J LOBE to eleven thousand policemen costing city taxpayers about Cc $34 a minute managed to cope with lawlessness last year by arresting on an average one New Yorker out of every thirty. ‘The total number of arrests and summonses in 1914 was 190,184, ‘an increase of more than 8,000 over the figures for 1913. Arrests for felonies showed an increase of 22.5 per cent. and convictions in this class increased 24 per cent. Burglars were rounded up and con- yicted in numbers about one-third ahead of the preceding year. {Whiee times as many drug vendors were caught. One thousand seven hundred and twenty-three persons were arrested for carrying danger- ous weapons, an increase of 341 over the figures for the year before. While it is true that murderers get away with amazing frequency, there is no reason to belittle a creditable year of police work in other directions. Seven policemen gave their lives last year in the service _ of the city. The general condition of the force is better than it iia ever been. There are more good men and brave men ready on ali occasions to be a credit to it, Department reports show that New York policemen are healthier than London policemen, healthier than the soldiers in the United States Army. “It is necessary to give to police officers adequate power, full responsibility, and then to demand from them results,” says Commis- sioner Woods. Taxpayers do their part to the tune of nearly $18,000,000 a year. We are anxious to believe the city grows better. We have a right to demand that it shall grow safer. Hits From Sharp Wits.

JARR set down the dress suit cases and fumbled in his pocket for the latchkey as the Jarr family reached the top landing at the door of their domicile, Theirs had been a belated vacation. “I can't find the key,” said Mr. Jerr. “Shall I try to break in the door?” “Please don't, for I'll be afraid of burglars till it's fixed again,” said Mrs. Jarr. “Knock at Mra, Wilkin- son's door and ask her to let you cross the fire escape to our kitchen | window, for it is safe to say you| didn't fasten the window when we} left, although I told you to.” Mr. Jarr did as he was told, and well pleased was he to find that Mrs. Jarr was correct in her surmise. He rained the unfastened kitchen window and came inside to the door and opened it, just as Mrs, Jarr found the key in her pocketbook, “Be it ever so humble, there's no place like the old flat,” remarked Mr. Jarr as he made a bee line for the couch in the front room and threw his weary bones upon it, He had been away two weeks to rest, but had had no place to do it im that time, “Now, please don't Iie there,” said Mrs. Jarr. “You should be ashamed of yourself when the children are more of a help to me than you are.

By Alice Hill Chittenden. I says NO. Common sense says NO. “Suffrage,” said Judge Cooley, in his work on the Principles of Constitutional Law, “cannot be the right of the individual, because it does not exist for the benefit of the individual, but for the benefit of the state itself.” The Cyclopedia of American Government says: “That the suf- frage cannot be a natural right is obvious from the fact that no com- munity can ever enfranchise all its citizens.” The United States Cyclopedia of Law says: “The right of suf- frage can be regulated, modified or withdrawn by the authority which conferred it. It is not a natural right of which a person cannot be deprived, but a privilege which may be granted or denied by the peo- ple or by the department of government to which they have delegated the power in the matter as general policy may require.” The franchise is a function of government carrying with it a heavy responsibility, and it is granted only to those to whom the Gov- ernment, for what it conceives to be its own highest interest, sees fit to grant it. In the case of women it is a question solely of how they can best serve the state and it is still held by all who oppose Woman Suffrage that women can best serve the state outside the realm of potitical contention, VOTE “NO,” ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE authorities say NO.

Now after four years, neither Haskall nor love for him filled more than the smallest niche of my heart, Several days had elapsed since our dinner party. I had given up the idea of seeing Eric Lucknow again, when one day upon my return from & shopping expedition I found Haskall waiting for me.
