They rely en? tirely upon the vicious sex-appeal to wheedle men into favoring their propaganda. Tli? vot" will take women's interests out of the home, will mean thr abandonment of maternity and the rupture of the family as a social unit. It will be impossible to get enough women out to vote on any tonic, since tbe majority by far have no interest in suffrage sr.d will r-main at home.

If women secure voting power it will cause end? less strife married couples holding different views. Thi.i will mean more divorces and great un happiness for the children. Fven should women vote there will be no change in political conditions, since each is dominated by some man and will merely du? plicate his ballot. The tendency of to abandon home and familv is sh-twn by the activity with which they cam? paign through their several organisations, and by the willingness they evidence in working publicly for what they term "the Cause."

but at least they have been working heart and soul to prevent the thing before which the whole world now stands aghast. They have not been tearing it to destiny. Their leaders aie at the moment in Europe and out of communication with the United States. That those left here have pro no "copy" is not a proof of their idleness or disorganization. As a mat fact, they are neither idle nor disorganised.

To the Kditor of The Tribune. Sir: The horrors of a general Eu? ropean war have caused a wave of re? vulsion against war to spread through this happily peaceful country. But our gratitude for our isolation, with tho opportunity to weigh and judge, we shoulil give deep thought to the future possibilities of danger that lurk in the Mexican situation. Far from being set? tled by t'ie elimination of General Huerta, Mexican kffairs to the in? formed ami observant are more chaotic than ever. The Washington adminis? tration ha- made responsible for the conduct tho Mohican revoluti but the conviction is growing among those wl.o have of that country at heart, as well as our own.

that the administration is eeueteut carry their programme of on and murder at a time when th. of public opinion has been diverted by the course of events and when European nations are not In a position to bring any pressure to b'-ar.

To the Editor of The Tribune. Bin August 11 will mark the 'een tenary of the woman who th? first local woman's rights clut bin. Emily P. Collins. She was bor at South Bristol, N'.

on August 11 1814, ami there, on Oclober 19, she organized tho Woman's Equa Rights I'nion i see "History of Woma Suffrage." Vol. p. 91 It held fort nightly meetings, and in that year tern a suffrage petition with sixty-two slg natures to the Legislature, where "i vas as something Bupremel; ridiculous." How great is the cheng' since that time! Like most of the suffrage pioneers Collins was an admirable house keeper. She was noted for her deli einus cooking and exquisite sewing She was an ideal wife, mother friend, and revered by all he neighbors. She was also a patriot During the Civil War she went to th? front to nurse on? of her sons had been wounded.

She was takei prisoner, and while shut up In a ehurcl with her son and other Lnionists shi contrived to send the government, som. valuable information that had come her knowledge. In 1889 she went to Louisiana live, and in 1H79, with Elizabeth Lisl? Saxon and other women, she worke? hard to get the constitutional conven ion of that state to give women tin ballot. They failed, but a few day: ago Louisiana Legislature vote? In fnvor of a woman suffrage amend ment to the Constitution, 61 to 40. For many years Mrs.

Collins lived it Hartford, much beloved by hei own household and an inspiration ti the suffragists of her city. She was woman of great abilities. Her prand children said that she was as good an oncvelopwdia. If a fact or a dat? iras mated was only necessary "nah grandma." She had a sense fun which did not desert her even un dor the most trying circumstances. Ii her oh! age she met with a bad fal downstaire.

Her son rushed to her ii terror, crying. "Oh, my Mother mother!" Lying in a heap on the floor unable to move, she answered faintly "My sor. I never thought that yov would live to see your mother a faller woman!" She lived to the ago of nine ty-tive. August 15 has been set aside by thi suffragists this year as "Self-Sacrifice Day" for the cause, in honor of Lucj Stone's birthday. It will be fitting to honor at the same time the memory oi Lucy Stone's friend and co-worker Emily P.

Collins. It is pleasant to add that Mrs. Col lins's descendants follow in her foot? steps. Her great-grandson carried a banne- in the suffrage parade twe year? ago. while her granddaughter Florence Peltier Pope, held one of the cords.

ALICE STONE BLACKWELL. Chilmark, Aug. 1, 1914. GERMANY'S HONOR INVOLVED She Goes to War to Preserve It, Ho Explains. To the Editor of The Tribuna Sir: Will you please, with tho fair? ness I always found expressed by your paper, regard the following facts concerning Germany and war.

From the Emperor down to the last farm? hand there is no family in Germany to which war does not mean death and bereavement. Such a nation cannot bo dragged into war by any party, ex? tensive as it may be. If it goes to ai it must be for a question vital to and to the nation as a whole. is honesty. If Germany goes to this time she does bo from sheer bo esty, living up to the obligations the Triple Alliance.

A firm as wi as a nation would be ruined if would not stick to a deal closed good faith. When the party is in danger It is, as vou concede yourself, not the time reasoning obliifation to help. Three great powers at least will i tack Germany, whose ally will ha her hands full to fight for hcrse "Viel Feind viel Ehr." Germany nothing to win and knows bo. she has one thing to lose, if she fo lows the advice of half the world ai Bkrinks from her duty: Honor. We think America at least shoo understand and esteem a nation kee ing faith under such condition America knows that we kept pea? for forty-four years, and that ve ga? to tho world not only and ba ties.

All tho world enjoys the man fruits of German endeavour in tli works of peace. H. BIUCKNER, Seemanspastor. Hoboken. N.

Aug. 1, HINMAN AND FUSION What State Papers Say of th Republican Candidate. A number of Republican newspaper which are habituated to apology for th Honorable William Rames and condemnation of all who oppose hin are now busily engaged in denouncin Mr. Htnman for permitting his name go into the Progressive well as th Republican primaries The favorit candidate of these newspapers for th Republican nomination for Governor ii Mr. Whitman.

We may assume tha their preference will remain the ssmi until Mr. Barnes makes a new when they will drop Mr. Whitman an? accept his successor to the fsvor th? boss, t'ntil then we may be permitte? to consider the comparative merits LMr. Hinman and Mr. Whitman, tested by the standard set by the Hsrntl newspapers.

What has Mr. Hinman done brings upon his head the abuse of Republican organs? llu he ed any Republican principle er pisi? form expression? So far as we here observed, no one bos such an offending. To be sure, he was then at frequent odds with the party boss, Mr. Baroei. but that sin.

if it be a sin, was ots common to many other eminent Repub? licans, including especially Governor Hughes himself. The racetrack biers tho enemies of direct pri? maries united with Mr. Barnes and Mr. Vurphy to fix a standard of Republi? canism and democracy which tnany men in both parties repudiated Sen? ator Hinman was one of those men is the Republican party and CoverBOf Hughes was another. We do not member hearing the Republicanism of either the Sonator or the Covernot questioned then by intelligent nun.

and see no good reason for quetttoalag Mr. Hinuian? party standing merely on the ground tha? he has no more use for Mr. Barnes and his itics than he had sit years ago. ester Herald.
