A Million Women Nav Vote.

It is an interesting fact that nearly
100000 women may vote for President
of the United States next year. The
action of California in granting woman
suffrage makes a total of six States
which have now granted the ballot to
women. The other States are Colorado,
Idaho, Utah. Washington, and Wyo-
ming. and the number of women eligible
to vote in their population is o2s,ooo.
These figures, which give some idea
Of the growth of the woman suffrage

POTASH DISCOVERY
IS NOT STARTLING
Geological Survey Officers
Smile at Enthusiasm.

The marvellous discovery, made recently
by a morning newspaper that millions in
potash" lay within the reach of Wash
ingtonians, in a field near Hollofield, Nd,
was handed a severe jolt yesterday by
Director George Otis Smith, Of the Geo
logical Survey, who explained that the
trace of potash so far found could not
be economically extracted from the rock,
and therefore was practically useless.
1t was announced that a wonderful
discovery had been made. The potash
field, it was explained, represented a vir-
gin wealth that careless citizens had ig-
nored for centuries and centuries.
Director Smith stated that the field In
question is not discovery" and has
never startled any man who knows the
facts concerning 1t. The government has
made reports on 1t from time to time,
and has for years known Of Its exist
ence.
The report says in part:
THE cost Of actual mining at most OF
the quarries producing high-grade field
spar Is stated by the survey to bt from
g to $3.50 per long ton. The best of
this feldspar carries from 10 to Il to a
theoretical 169 per cent OF pure potash.
Any Of these percentages in feldspar
would constitute a high-grade fertilizer
in themselves were the potash avail
able; the trouble Is that the potash con-
stituent Of all rock is tightly locked up
or practically insoluble, necessitating the
application of some process, for con-
verting It into soluble form.
The Hollofieid section in Maryland.
while II undoubtedly affords source of
potash-rich rock, has no monopoly in
this respect, since Bulletin 40 contains
description of seventy, Or more field
spar deposits well distributed through
out half dozen States in the Eastern
portion of the United States. Many other
rocks contain good percentages Of potash,
even most OF the GRANTEES coming under
the head OF potash rocks. while various
other varieties of rock are even richer IN
potash.
THE supply OF potash silicate bear
ing rocks is therefore absolutely un-
limited and the question Of a potash
fertilizer supply from any rock source
resolves itself into the question of the
discovery Of process which VIII dis
sociate the potash from the silicate
minerals to obtain the more soluble
potash salts which can be taken up by
the plant as 1ood. A number OF such

Rice Throwing and Old Shoes.

A clergyman in New London has de-
cided that there shall be no more rice
throwing at the door of his church
after marriages, because of the lack of
moderation on the part of too enthusi-
astic friends, which led to disaster. The
custom of throwing rice at weddings
in this country has lost all of its an
cient significance or symbolism of fer
tility Still we'll known in the Orient,
where it originated, it has degenerated
in modern times into one of the things
that are done because they have been
done always. Nowadays it is little less
than nuisance
While they are about it, why not let
clergymen try to abolish the Gus
tom of throwing old shoes after the
newly-weds as they start on their life
journey together? That custom is
founded upon the ancient idea that the
gods are jealous of the happiness of
mortals, and the old shoes were used
as worthless wedding gifts in order to
deceive the envious deities into the be-
lief that the bride and bridegroom have
enemies as we'll as friends. They were
like the fly in the ointment of happi-
ness.

Law and Not Politics Should Govern

It is sincerely to be hoped that the
President will not yield to the politi-
clans who are urging him to regard
political considerations in the matter of
appointing a successor to the late JUS
tice Harlan.
The Supreme Court of the United
States is the highest tribunal in the
land. Its members are selected, let US
hope, because of their eminent legal
ability, and not because they vote with
a certain political party on election day.
The country asks that the President
shall choose. some man whose legal
experience, ripened Judgment, and
strength of character make him worthy
of occupying the vacant place. The po-
litical complexion of the appointee
ought not to be taken into considera-
tion. Upon the bench a judge should
not be governed by politics, but by law.
II would be a sorry day for the
United States if the. belief should be-
come general that justice of the Su-
preme Court is the mouthpiece of politi-
cal opinion.

FOREIGN POWERS
URGED TO SEND MEN
British Admiral Fears for
Chinese Situation.
su.cs,l Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Hankow, Nov. 5.-Sir William Winsloe,
the British admiral, to-day wired his gov
ernment that, in his judgment, the time
had arrived for the sending at more
troops to the Hankow region. The ad-
miraI suggests that each power send at
least !, 500 men to Shanghai at once, from
which place they can be distributed to
such points as need them.
Pekin, Nov. 5.-The throne issued an
other edict to-day. This one promises
government positions to all the revolu-
ttonary leaders, and pledges imperial rec
oenition of the revolutionary party as
purely political. The governments ut
most is now centered on splitting the
Kang Pu Wei reformers, who are pledged
to the dynasty. from those opposing the
Manchu dynasty, under the leadership of
Swang Shin and DR.. Sun Yat Sen. Ennis
saries to Ii Huen Yen, the revolutionary
leader, are authorized to offer his associ-
ates at wuchang anything they may de-
sire If they will only abandon the repub-
lie idea and accept a limited monarchy.
Gen. Chang, in command Of the Twen-
tieth division Of the imperial forces, and
head of the newly organized Army
League, has memorialized the throne, ex-
pressing complete satisfaction with. the
constitutional grants, and pledging the
loyalty Of the northern army.

j, Rife Shooting in the Schools.

Advocates of universal peace would
have the teaching of rife shooting in
the public schools abolished. They seem
to forget that their attitude is antag-
enistic to national defense.
To know how to shoot accurately does
not of necessity involve the desire to
kill. There has been no tendency in
Washington through the training of the
high school students to produce a belli-
eose set of cadets. They should, how
ever, if the necessity arises, be of value
to their country through a knowledge
of military weapons
The man who is proficient in the use
of his fists is less likely to be at
tackled and injured than the weakling,
and the nation which knows how to
fight is safer from attack and from war
than one which is unprepared.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-06
What Other Cities Are Doing.

The Washington Herald prints this
morning considerable data. secured from
other cities relative to the treatment OF
retired policemen and fremen. Without
exception, every municipality provides
a retirement fund. which is made up OF
several sources Of revenue, as in Wash
ington, and when there is a deficit an
additional tax is levied.
When Congress undertakes TO ex-
anime into this question of pensions for
the policemen and hremen, the informa-
ton which The Washington Herald has
taken the trouble to collect will be
found both interesting and instructive.
1t demonstrates that in all cities there
is a sympathetic feeling for the men
who serve in hazardous occupations,
and, above all, deficit such as is now
causing privation among the pensioners
is nowhere allowed.
In providing Washington with a
model pension law, Congress will only
be rendering tardy justice We are be-
hind other municipalities in making
proper provision for the veteran police
men and fremen and for the widows
and children who may survive them.

ROBERT NJ. M'KEE
DIES AT AGE OF 79
Well Known in Educational
and Musical Circles.

Robert NJ. Mckee, well known in this
and musical circles, died last night at
the Kenesaw, Sixteenth and Irving
streets, after an illness of nearly three
months, beginning with heat prostra-
ton. Until his recent illness he was gen.
orally in excellent health, and notably
active, so that he was usually regarded
as being ten years younger than he was.
Mr.. Mckee was born in Hanover,
Chautauqua County. N. Y, seventy-nine
years ago. After serving in the Army OF
the Potomac, he came to Washington.
He was well known for several years as
the supervising principal Of the first dis
trict schools, and particularly In charge
of the grammar school in the Franklin
Building. which was then the highest
grade in the city's public schools. He
retired from that position in 1876.
After occupying a position in the Gen.
eral Land ONCE from 1877 to 1856, he be-
came an examiner in the Patent once
and served as such twenty-six years, until
the present time.
Mr.. Mckee was one Of the earliest
members OF the Church Of Our Father.
and for the past year or two president
OF its Universalist Brotherhood. He was
a graduate of the National Law School
of Washington. For several years he was
librarian OF the choral society. He was a
comrade Of Lincoln Post, G. A. r. He
leaves a daughter, Mrs. Clarence G. AL
len, residing at the Kenesaw.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
at 3 o'clock
