There Is no parallel for this stiieii

To THK Kimtor or Thf Si n Sir. I
am glad that Thk Si s ha dtsappiOVid
of the plan, now being considered by
the Pan-American IVa.-e conferees, of
putting un embargo on artns to Car
ranra. wmie t the gatne time allowing
the other faetlona In Mexico to obtain
them freely. The Administration made
an unpardonahla mistake In ever rais
ing the embargo that wit placed on
all arm by President Taft. Whatever
the object Of the Administration may
be. the result seems to tie lo koep any
man from attaining a strong enough
position to govern the country.
Suppose an embargo should lessen
Cgrrann'l power, would It not also as
sist in raining an even less desirable
man to an exalted position" An.l have
not the past year gone to prove that
only the defeated pretend to listen to
directions and suggestions from this
--.lie of the border "
The Worst mlltlkl Of ill. however. Is
(0 allow any arms at all to t sent Into
that distnacled country wheie there is 1
no Qaeernment lo control or to h.- held J

To tub EntToa or Tits St-N Fir: I
had no intention of seriously consider
ing the many letters published In The
8un In reply to my communication
ugainst woman suffrage of August 2u,
which has been called "The Chant of
Hate," until I read the one from Mrs
Kdlth M. Arnold. Her letter so Inter
ested me that I am moved lo reconsider
my determination not to reply to the
attacks made upon me. Owing to the
fact that Mrs. Arnold Insultingly de-
gerlMl the Almighty as a suffragist, I
must say that she owes to the world
the telling of the secret ns to how- the
suffragists enlisted the Almighty Pather
In their cause.
Such a story with proof behind It
would make tie most Interesting read
ing that has come down to us since the
genesis of the world. If Mrs. Arnold
will write this tory for Ths Pn she
would go down In history nnd be for
ever Immortalized.
I rannot understand, perhaps Mis.
Arnold can, why suffragist find It
necessary to couple their cause with
that of the prohibitionists. If votes
for women means votes for prohibition
the suffragists themselves are uncon
sciously knifing to death the cause for
Whleh they are fighting. To this we
"antis" have no objection I take It that
the question of woman suffrage, so far
as t have been aihlt to learn from lis
tening to Its propagandists and from
reading suffrage literature and the
newspapers. Is dissolving Itself into the
quest ion of prohibition. While there
Is no apparent relation between suf
frage and prohibition In my mind,
nevertheless many men have come to
view suffrage as a side street to prohi
bition How the millions of men who know
how to use liquor and who find pleasure
In Its use can be asked to vote for a
question that threatens to rob them of
this pleasure and comfort is too deep
for my solving. I leave It to Mr. Ar
nold. The Injection of the llQUOr ques
tion Into the campaign for votes for
women is to be deplored, but tbe suffra
gists are to blame. There nre so many
female free laii.-es writing "pieces to
the newspaper" nlout what women will
do to the liquor business when they get
the vote, so many would be female
sociologists splattering broadcast their
puerile opinion about the coming re
Ultl of universal suffrage, so many un
muzzle, 1 female "philosopher" running
loose in Ihe land, thut I do not wonder
at a remark m isle by a gentleman the
other night In speaking of suffrage when
he called li the "Twentieth Century
linear."
Mrs Arnold In her letter say: "I
have read mu -h on lanth "Ides of thl
question and I firmly believe that the
Almighty Is the substantial backer of
0Ual franchise. "
Now I shall herewith propound thre
questions, to which I trust Mrs Arnold
will make reply
I'.i-t. Can you, Mrs. Arnold, prove
to me beyond every doubt "that the ai-
mlghty Is tlie substantial backer of
equal franchise"?
s, , ndly, If "more women will line
up with Ood than Booze," why did the
women of California vote against pro
hibition last November and against It
In I leaver last April"
Thirdly. Ate the men of New .Te-sey.
New York. Pennsylvania and Massachu
setts who will vote on the question this
fall to believe that woman suffrage and
prohibition are one and inseparable''

To thk KniTos or Tils 90H Mr: The
most noticeable feature of the corre

garding "Votes for Women" is the
prominence given lo matter which,
when not merely Irrelevant recrimina

those who advocate "Votes for Women''
roellae that the ratio ,,f Ignorant and

no-ant of the fad that the lUBhsf
movement an alerted in this oountry by
Krancee Wright, a free thinker and so
cialist, whose "moral" philosophy Is
summed up In thla excerpt from her
writings :
I have devoted my time and fortune to
laying thf foundation of an establishment
where affection ahall form the only mar
riage, kind feeling and kind action tha
only religion.
KllatHth Cody Stanton, shining light
of suffrage, addressed what Horace
ilreeley called the "easy divorce' con
vention of suffragist In IH6n and de
livered herself of this extraordinary ut
terance :
The right of woman to put awnv a
husband, he In ever so Impure, Is BOVSf
hinted ut In sacred history. Even .1'niii
himself failed to recognize the sacred
rights of the Holy Mother of th race.
W'e cannot take our gauge of womanhood
fixsm tbe pnett, but from the mlemn rsn
vlctlons of our own souls In the higher
development of the race.
t'ndoubtedly the Almighty heard
that suffrage doctrine arid remember It
to-day.
Woman suffrage waa flrat made ef
fective in thla country by the Mormon
Church, the foe of Christianity and
democracy, and It derive a large part
of It ti-ength to-day from Socnnllat
and femlnlet. whose Immoral and un
christian writing form a very Impor
tant part of the literature published
an.l clrculnted by the national suffrage
organization In Its campaign for "votee
for women."
Are we to understand that the Al
mighty Is the "substantial backer" of
Morinotilsm. Socialism and Feminism?
t'nless it oat! be shown that It was
unusually hot In Putnam when Mrs.
Arnold penned her letter to Tux St N,
I think It must ba admitted that her
statement comes pretty close to the
line of blasphemy.

DANGERS OF MUSHROOMS.
Ihelr HanifalMSI Often Kxagger-
ated Through Ignorniiee.
To thk Kiiitor or Tun Si n Mr Tim
reason guggeBted In the editorial article
In Thk Si n for the limited popularity
of mushroom gathering Is undoubtedly
tin- main one. yet I think tin re aie more
mushroom hunters than Is ge:. rally
supposed. Certainly the fascinations of
the quest ure enough to outweigh the
dread with which one starts. Tie re are
very few poisonous varieties, and these
are almost all Included in the Amanita
i family. If one is equipped with Just a
I little eotimiOfl grogs nnd a modicum of
caution there is no cause for fear. Many
edible mushrooms hear on undeserved
sinister reputation Iwiiuhc of the accu
sations of the Ignorant. Some plant
will make people III. but they an usu
ally their own antidote, as the emetic
Itussula iiuil Botetl. Some are harm
ful, but not fatally o, to certain people.
While they art eaten by others with no
bad result. A few people cannot eat
any varieties, even ns certain ones can
not eat strawberries or clams.
The meadow mushroom, AgorlcuS
nempestrig, is the one moat commonly
ued In the Kast. There are close rela
tive of this species which the OSSAla
observer would take for the me, i, low
mushroom, They are all goo,: and all to
be distinguished from Amanita phul
loide by Ihe color of Ihe gills. In the
meadow mushroom these are at fltst
pink, as the plant be ties older the
color change to purplish brown nnd at
last to almost black. Now Amanita
phalloliles show gill which are alnavs
white, no matter how old the plant Is.
The stein of the nmidow mushroom Is
not bUlbOUl at the has, and shows no
sign of the sheath, while the stem Is
almost always fcee from any evidence
Of the veil. Amanita pholloldes hiis a
stein bulbous at tbe base, gel In a kind
of sheath which is popularly called "Hie
poison OUp," und the stem carries the
disrupted v-u in (he shape of a collar.
Some cases of sils,.iiing have been
the result of mistaking Amanita mus
Cerlg for the highly prlmd Amanita
Cowgerla, but none but an expert ghOUld
attempt thi selection, and even he with
crupulou car-. I am ct-ptictl of the
bona tides of many reported case of
amanltlne ioioning. The 'Willy i
on" produces eaaggeretlone along
other lines, why not along this line"
Thsn soul.- physicians tire relieved from
strenuous thought about p. it, cuts that
puzzle them If It can Is- establish-,1
tint they have been guilty of eating
mughrooms
I remember one case A woman died
after more thai, a we. k of sh-kn s and
he had eaten mushroom lief.re she
was taken down. A friend who lbs red
the feast suffered no bad effects land be
it know that amgnltlns f no respecter
of persons). Perhaps if dog had
licked her hand before her illness the
utter. ding physician would have pro
nounced her case one of hydrophobia.
Amanltine poisoning. I understand. Is
tather slow at first, the symptoms mani
festing ihemeslvee about twelve hour
after Ingestion . then the progress is a
rapid .is Urychoing poisoning, which It
resembles.
There ought 10 l-e i wider knowledge
of the many edible mushroom Which
grow abundantly almost everywh re.
No variety of the Coprlnu genu Is
harmful and they are produced lav
ishly. I found a quantity of them some
time igo by a tree In Kast Fifty
second street Th y Indicate generally
an old tree stump or root buried where
they grow. Th.- there are gome of the
Hyphotomug. abundant on lawns, nnd
the Maraamtug oreedeg ithe fairy ring
mushrooms i, and many others very de
lectable. I met a man this summer who made
my mouth water by telling of the mor
el which grow III hi doorysrd, None
of the puffball i poisonous, though th.-v
or.- not all, perhapa, edible. There art
vat less attractive eatable than s
pufflull in prime condition, fried hk.- an
om let or stewe.l w ith gweetbreadg.
Then there is the PleurottM "tr atus,
found on certain kinds of trees, and the
Pteurotus ulmariua, found on tin- elm,
and the delicious lepiota prOCCre,
broiled, and the -but space is wanting.
