November 2. the lea^ally qualifier! voters of New York will decide whether or not the constitution of the state is to be so char,,?*.: as to allow women to vote on the same terms as men. The questions arc essentially those which have arisen whenever suffrage has been granted to any group of people The world has tried various forms of exclusive government for a long time, and is trying some of them still, but the march is rapid toward universal freedom and toward the participation in government of all intelligent adults. In the United States that belief in liberty has always been strong, and It is stronger to-day than ever before. The emancipation of women is feared by some because they think it threatens the home and those virtues which centre around it. When woman asks the vote she merely asks to keep up with her own work after it has left the house and gone into the community. She gladly admits that her place is in the home, and adds that the home is every? where. In twelve American states women have been voting for periods ranging from one to forty-six years. Everywhere the g:in has been appreciable. The opinion of en'ightened business men, statesmen, edi? tors and careful women is overwhelming. And in foreign countries, in many of which the experiment has been fully tried, there is the 6ame preponderance of opinion. No homes are broken up, no reckless legis? lation is passed, no women desert cradles in order to become poli? ticians. But, on the other hand, there is a general toning up and liberali? zation of life, an improvement in women themselves and a distinct gain in legislation along such lines as especially affect children, women in industry, morals and municipal efficiency. We, the signers of this statement, declaring our intention to vote for the amendment, belong to various political parties, but we are united in our desire to have our state true to the fundamental principles of democracy. We believe that a people is greater when it follows gladly and bravely its underlying convictions than when its political life is inertia and causeless timidity. We believe it is b.ad for a democracy to put a check on the aspirations of a large portion of its citizens. We believe that women should vote, and that the community will derive an appreciable advantage when they do vote. JACOB GOULD SCHUKMAN SAMUEL UNTERMYER ADOLPH LEW?SOHN FREDERICK M.

ROOT'S LAST PLZA FORCONSTITUTION SWAYS AUDIENCE Warns of Decline of Rep? resentation in Direct Action Propaganda. DELEGATES PRAISED FOR IMPARTIAL ACTS fconomlcs Club Told Body Was Influenced Only by Desire to Better the State. With a last pira for the new eon s-itutinn on the ground that it will reinstate the representative govern? ment of our fathers to the position to which it is entitled, former Senator Root appealed for its adoption to twelve hundred business men, bankers und lawyers at the dinner of the Eco? nomic Club at the Astor last night. Mr. Root's appeal was touching, and there were many moist eyes among his listeners before he had finished. It was a final appeal by Mr. Root for the new constitution, and he put his whole heart into it. "I beg you to do me the honor," he saut, "to believe there is no personal consideration ahich actuates me. Since I left this ti'v, lixteea years ago last summer, to d?. ote myself to the ser? vice of my country and the state, 1 have had but one client. I have had but one desire. I hav hut one on, sad II has been for the pros pi ? : 11 y and the honor an?i the growth in ths -pint and in the power of my coun? try and my state. "I have given out all there was in me into this effort to do what 1 I?.. Ileved to be necessary for the per ? tuity of our tree institutions, ilns effort to make representative govern Bleat worthy of it.-elf. I have given up my strength and my lifs to help bring that about. I hope that it will no! provs te bavs baea ia rala. No, it cannot have b^en in vain. This con? stitution, I believe, aill bs adopted by the people of the State, but if it is not. ths work of the convention will not i,e lost. It will be but the beginning ef B process which through the work? ing of the processes of free govern? ment will bring out sooner or later in substance all the conclusions which arc right and sound, for no honest effort in behalf of one's country can ever be lost." Mr. Root Cheered. Mr. Root was loudly cheered at the end of his address. Senator Wads worth, William Church Osborn, chair? man of the Democratic State Commit? tee, and Martin Littleton also spoke in support of the new constitution. Mr. OsDorn, however, asserting that he would not vote for the reapportionment article. William R. Willcox, president of the Economic Club, was toastmaster. Mr. Root declared that there has been a widespread demand for the abandonment of representative govern? ment, but that the adoption of the new constitution would make representative government so good, so sound, so ef? fective that all ?lemanil for the aban - of repr?sentative government and the substitution of direct legisla? tion would pass uwav __r?1 be refuted. Mr. Hoot ISld: "The initiative, the compulsory refer? endum, the more suuden anil instant control ever adlialBiatrativa and othtr judicial officer? through the recall ami direct legislation is distingu?-heil from representative Isgislatlea. Some of us v. i.o felt that representativa gavera ment was the great gift of our race to the development sf freedom felt that the duty pressed upon us to show if we could cure the avila by improv? ing representative government. Of course, if legislation is to be direct, if the laws of the state or a nation are to be made at. the polls upon the in? itiative of any group of men who have ideas that they wish to propose, the ?iignity and the power of representative assemblies must decline. Of course, if that system of government is to pre? vail the American system of govern? ment through representativa assem? blies must grow weaker and weaker. If that system is not to prevail, repre? sentative assemblies must be mail?- to do their work, to meet the well ex SCated parpOSS and th?- will of the peo? ple whom they represent. It is that feature of the work of the convention which should, I think, appeal to this Economic Club. You deal not merely with det .ils, but with the philosophy of government und with the broad un? derlying principles which are to be ap? plied. I put to you, s the first great ground upon which the work of this convention i. to be favorably regarded, that it is an effort sincere and serious Bl sixty-eight men elected bv the peo? ple of the .t?te to do the work." Th* convention which farmed the new constitution, Mr. Root declared. was a non-partisan bod-.- in this con? nection he took a left-handed slap at William Banes, jr.. when he asserted mat tfforts had beer, made to use the great majority of the Republican party in the convention for part,san advan? tage. "Of course there is opposition." Mr. Root aeclared. "I have been seeking ? I have been wondering much at the causes. No such series of provisions as this can be adopted without inter? fering with a ereat many people. A good many men will be turned out ? f office. You cannot retrench without turn ng men out of office. You cannr. economize without ir.terf-nng with people, and if you look to the opposi? tion to this constitution in nine cas-s out of ten you can trace it back o the unwillingness of men to be turnel t unliniiert on p?f * '*. ?rolnraa I_ WELLEN ENJOYED GAME OF KILLING RIVAL ROADS New England Protested in Vain as Freight Rate Rule Slashed Business.

INVADERS ARE NEAR UNION Teutons Advance Along Danube and Ferdinand Crosses the Timok. BERLIN GAINS SLOWLY Reports Progress Near Bosnian Border and Capture of Zabari In East. [Br <_?-__? Th. T-bura] London, Oct. 25.?The Allied at? tempt to wrest the Nish-Salonioa railway from the Buigars has begun, end already French troop?, following up their victory at Krivolak, in Southern Serbia, where .0,000 Bul? garians were put to flight, are with ir twenty miles of Veles, ?till in the invaders' grasp. Three days ago only a few miles inside the Serb frontier, and with the S .rbs patently nearing exhaus? tion, the swift Allied advance of more than forty miles to Negotin, reported reached by the French last night, has raised a new spirit of con? fidence that von Mackensen's seizure of the road to Constantinople may yet be forestalled. Only one thing damps this op? timism?the new German crossing of the Danube at Orsovo, which pro? gressed to-day to Sip. Berlin an ! r.cunces, and the Btilgar a?lvance across the Timok in the same region, which thus brings the two armies within a few miles of union. With the juncture once formed, the Danube will be entirely In Teu , ton hands, and one avenue to the Turksh capital, though not the one originally aimed at, will be assured. The only results of the Allied expe? dition in such a case, unless the et. ; try of Rumania should change the situation, would be to forestall Bul? garian ambitions in Macedonia. By the French victory at Krivo lak the Bulgarians who have reached Istib, Veles and Uskub a! ready are placed in an awkward position, as a further advance of the Allied army would seriously threaten their flank. In fact, unofficial reports state that the advance of the French, who are being closely followed by the British, already has caused the retirement of the Bulgarians toward Strumnitza. Bulgare Not Equal to Preach. That the Bulgarians have begun their retirement from Veles and are retreating on a flve-mile front up the Gradeskar River is indicated in dispatches from Gradek, Serbia, reaching here to-day. The Bulgar:.. according to dispatches, plan a new line to resist the Allied advance on the villages of Rabrovo, Piraud, \ eszel and Kalkova, and the east bank of the Vardar River, where it dominates the railway. According to reports describing tlit battle, the inferiority of the Bul parians to the experienced troops of France and Britain was at once de monstrated, and the latter had no trouble in turning the Bulgarian right flank, while the Serbs, by a frontal counter attack, held the main brdy. The man?uvre is described as having been most brilliant by the correspondent of the Paris "Petit pErisien," who says that the French "75's" inflicted terrible damage on th? Bulgarians. Now that the main German advanee has reached the mountain!, the fighting has assumed the character of that on the Western front, progren being made only after the mo.t violent artillery preparation and the captura of s few yardi of trer.ehei at a tim?.
