A Federal District Judge in the state
of,Washington has given effect to a
decision which must be regarded as
ludiorous in land of free political
opinion, The citizenship papers OF
man have been annulled because he
is a socialist. Because the man lad
mitted that he advocated propaganda
for radical changes in the Constitution
of the coupiry," and because he ad'
mitted he had held to Socialistio prin-
oiples when he applied for papers two
years before, Judge 9. Ii. Hanford
ruled that be was not admittable to
citizenship, 1t would be scarcely more
extravagant il it were held that an ap-
plioant for citizenship were required
TO swear allegiance to the administra.
tion of national affairs by the Repub-
lican party. To bar a mum who Is
willing to submit Loyalty to existing
government merely because he cher
ishes what others may believe to be
an impossible ideal of good govern
ment certainly is raising a new ques-
tion in this country. When Socialism
submits to what exists and merely
seeks to convert the electorate to an
other set of political aud economic
principles, its advocates are we'll
within the rights of citizens in land

From friendly sources in some de-

there are efforts to thrust William ).
Bryan into The contest for President
of the United States as a candidate
Mr.. Bryan himself has treated with
contempt such of these efforts as come
from hostile sources, and in so far
as they spring from friendly purposes
be has strenuously urged their I'm
mediate abandonment. His latest
request to that effect was made when
be urged friends of his who were or
ganizing Bryan League in Iowa, not
to do 80. These demonstrations OF the
friendly kind are inconsiderate. Who
ever really knows Bryan knows that
he is not in any sense or in any way
a candidate for the presidential nom-
ination. They know moreover that
his nomination would impose upon
him personal burden. and bis cleo
ton a heavier one, which nobody has
any right, under existing oiIoum-
stances to ask him to assume. That
a moment might come when. with no
other alternative. than BIyan's NOM
ination or party defeat or worse. he
could fairly be urged to lead the dem
ocratio masses once more in a Pres
idential contest, cannot Of course be
denied. No one is able to tell in these
times of political transition and tur-
moil what day or an hour may bring
forth. But no suoh time has yet
come, and no such alternative is as

PASSING OF STEAM ENGINES.

The practical success which has fol-
lowed the use of tho internal combus-
lion engine In large ships seems to
spell the beginning OF the end Of
steam vessels. Recently the head of a
company owning and operating more
than 10 steam vessels announced that
his company would never again build
a ship with steam as the motive pow.
er. The advantages Of the internal
combustion engine are many. They
utilize great per cent. OF the en-
ergy OF the fuel They are econom-
heal In operation. AS one man ex-
pressed II, all you have to do is to
start the thing and then read news;
paper. The fuel can be convenient
Iy carried, no stokers are required.
and instead of the engines becoming
overheated In tropical climates, trial
seems 10 show that they work better
the hotter the temperature. The pres
emit difficulty seems to be to get oil
at q reasonable cost. Gasoline has
been rising steadily in price for some
time. The supply of crude oil is not
lmitless by any means. There re-
mains, Of course, denatured alcohol.
which can be made from vegetable
matter, and 1t may in time become
the great fuel Of the world. How!
ever that may be, 1t Is reasonably GER
tain that ship owners during the
next decade will turn to the Internal
combustion engine to solve many OF
their difficulties.

One reason for this is that we nave
heretofore considered woman the IN
ferior to man and not entitled to as
high a rate of pay for the same work
as man. 1t was for this reason ,tnat
women was showed into the industrial
and business world. She has become
a factor in our industrial and husl-
ness life, mainly because she can be
used to perform the same work as
formerly performed By men, and at a
lower rate Of pay.
And now that she is factor in the

be the duty of the state to see that

A Paris newspaper. the Femina, put
the following question to its women
readers recently: What do you think
chasing them in order Of impor-
tance-are the ten principal failings Of
men?" The majority of the women
said egotism was mans most besetting
sin. And what Ia egotism? 1t is
simple and unauthorized selfishness;.
and that Is mans chief fault, accord
ing to the women. And then these
faults come next In answersi inf.
deity. jealousy. intemperance, cow
urdice. That is so-selflshness Is the
taproot OF them all. They are all
logically connected Following these
five leading sins come. in the women's
answers: immortality, despotism. tenn
per, stupidity and idleness. 1t will
be interesting to follow these an
swers In grading the sins. and pursu.
ing the gradual descents from egotisM
to laziness. It will BIO found that they
preserve q natural order. For In
stance, infdellty follows egotism'
cowardice follows intemperance, des-
potism follows immortality, and idle
ness Is just behind stupidity. The
answers are interesting and just. The
women know more about ment fall
ings than men do. They know more
than they let on.

a MINIMUM WAGE FOR WOMEN

In the October issue OF the Journal
of the Virginia Federation Of Labor
which is published at Richmond and
edited by Howard T. Colvin Of Alex
andria is an interesting and timely cd
itorial on the subject of 4 minimum
warc for women, in which it Is stated
that the great fight Of organized Ia
Dor before the next session Of 5he
Virginia Legislature aside from the
fight for the initiative, referendum
and recall, wonan'S suffrage and
longer legislative session, should be
for minimum wage law for women.
Many of the points advocated BY Ir.
Colvin arc we'll taken, though We give
this subject even greater importance
than those which nc places as first
to be considered.
We are somewhat skeptical in ref
erence to the statement that the work
young girl who lives at home requires
1897 a week and the girl who liVes
away from hom: $1,000 q week 70 pro
vide her with the things necessary
to a decent living, although " must
confess that we have no accurate
data on this Subject. If this Is true
however, very few working girls II
the United States arc able TO obtain
the necessities Of which NJ. Co!v!n
speaks.
But leaving aside the amount that
is necessary for girl TO earn TO man
tain herself properly there is no
doubt but that conditions in Virginia
so far as wages Of womcn ar: cen
cerned is deplorable.
We have thousands Of giils en-
Moved in factories and mercaEs''l
establishments throughout the STATE
who do not receive on an average
more than 81 al week and there art
many in every sity in the State VINO
receive as little as SIS q week In th'
face of the extremely high prices eX
listing today, the wonder is THAI an!
one should for moment imagine tha
rirl could live and maintain he
respectability on any such sum.
Every consideration of justice De
mands that the working women OF
Virginia be protected from the gree
of the Corporations and others en-
ploying them. The State should com
pei every employer of women to pa!
sufficient wages to enable them to Inv
a respectable life.
Those who oppose equal suffrage d
SO Frequently on the ground that wo
man is being protected in her RICH
today by men. They say that mel
have always and always will protec
the rights OF women and that il j
not necessary therefore that she
should be given the ballot. Well
here IS an opportunity for some G
these men who are fond of protectin
other peoples rights, 10 do so.
